Chapter 231 231: The 10th Wave Conclusion
[Shadow Dance]
That was enough for Cole to switch the tables so suddenly that there was absolutely no other way to turn it back. He appeared right out of the shadow that appeared on her body just as she batted the spear away. Her eyes widened, Cole was within her guard and she had overextended herself in order to stop the spear from running her through. There was not nearly enough time to stop him, but even as he was close enough Cole's [Sin Seeking Eyes] pulsed his entire vision red as red lightning began to spark off her body.
[Spectral Rover] [Vertigo]
He quickly got out of the way, creating a disk of [Gravity] under his feet, as he stopped under her, his nose barely an inch away from the sole of her feet. She blasted a beam of red lightning from her chest, so powerful that even reality itself seemed to fracture from the power she just displayed. But [Vertigo] was already work as the lightning tapered off and Cole stabbed [Black Malakai] upwards and straight through her leg to bust out of her knee, pulling out her knee cap and parts of her armor.
She screamed, but that was a mistake. It would have been better for her to react, to ignore the pain at that moment and try to escape. That was valuable time wasted, and Time Cole unceremoniously took advantage of as he stretched forth his hand and grabbed her by her ankle of her uninjured leg. He felt her stiffen, as he gave her that one second of realization, that one moment where she would realize that try as she might to run, Cole had finally caught up to her. She looked down at him in horror, he looked right back up at her in extreme glee, her eyes widened a bit as she tried one last time to escape, and then he started to feed.
[Sin Eater] [Sin Reaper]
"Aiiiiiiiiiiiiii!"
Her screams were shrill and powerful enough to burst Cole's eardrums this close to her. He had not even activated those skills at their full capacity as she was screaming and thrashing within his grasp. Cole realized that perhaps he had already won this battle the moment he had slain the first boss. He had down seeds of fear that he had not even noticed, her attempt to keep space between them had not been because of a battle tactic, it's no wonder she had not been able to utilize the ground units or be sensible enough to lure him down to the ground.
Not that it would have changed anything, but she would still be out of his grasp by now and would have at least caused a bit more damage to him than was expected. Her focus had been broken and she had let fear cloud her judgment. She was a lot more powerful than he was, that lightning that Cole had no idea of, was so powerful every time it filled the sky Cole had his [Sin Seeking Eyes] screaming at him to get out of the way, and every premonition he got of the skill touching him, ended up with him being destroyed mind, body and soul, in all realities! This was beginning to be more than just a fucking Game. Now the boss's could cause damage that had reality altering consequences, he needed more power now more than ever and he had to be careful.
He reinforced and pushed both skills to the limit, increasing the level of the drain. But even if he had her incapacitated it did not mean the rest of the wave was willing to wait for him to end her. They came after him, causing Cole to curse as he too really couldn't move as much, this boss was powerful, it was taking all of his concentration to not even lose himself in the deluge of energy that was rushing into his body.
But Cole was not alone either. Fire and light and runes filled the sky as Irma, Farida and Cassandra flashed past him, each and every single one of them having taken to the sky, with Cassandra relying on a hover board to do so. Delarosa on the other hand Cole could feel she was down on the battlefield, putting the ground units to a swift end as Cole grinned and redoubled his efforts. Nothing needed to be said, though it was weird that his closest followers or allies were all women, he hoped he was not turning into some sort of anime protagonist.
And then just as suddenly as it started it was over. The Boss sagged down, as Cole caught her and removed the helmet from her face. She looked at him a trace of life still in her eyes as blood in tears fell to the side. Cole did not feel so much as shred of pity as he scoffed and snuffed out that final spark, her body instantly mummifying as he let it fall from his hand, to crash down to the middle of the battlefield, his 10th wave defeated.
[Sin Eater and Sin Reaper Has Been Used! +4000 To Intelligence, +800 To Attunement, +1239 To Charisma, +7000 Energy, +1 soul.]
[You Have Reached Level 69! +360 To All Stats, +120 Stat Points]
[You Have Defeated The 10th Wave! The Path To The Fifth Floor Has Been Opened! Standby For Automatic Teleportation In 15 Minutes]
"its Over." Cole said to himself as he stood in the air, a solitary warrior overlooking a devastating battlefield while his generals surrounded him. He turned to Irma, he did not have as much time to give instructions but he knew how the system works.
"I believe the moment I leave you and all of your clan would be offered the option to be put in a special inventory. You will only be able to help me in the 5th floor if it's possible for you to exist according to the rules of that Reality. I will take no chances though and would head to the 3rd floor and dump you guys in my territory for now. You can work together with Cassandra's son and Thunder-Jack while I figure some things out.
Farida, Cassandra, you both have on wave left to deal with. Survive it, I'd advice you visit a cradle before it gets started. The city's defenses should hold. By the time you're done, I should be in position to come get you out of the mining colony, after that lets all meet at the 3rd floor and discuss what to do from there. Any questions?" there was a shake of head from all three of them, as Cole nodded his head, he was ready for the next step in the journey, hopefully the fifth floor doesn't kill him like the fourth did when he first got here.
