Chapter 263: All in [2]

A loud gaping roar filled the room and in the wall where Pike lies beaten a monstrous figure arose. A nightmare in every way to frighten his foe but Morris remains calm in the face of the perilous existence of Pike. His heart raced even higher indicating his restlessness but for whatever reason he wasn’t disheartened

"Morris!!!" He lunges with a speed beyond Morris’s current state could dodge but he is later blown by an attack

An explosion occurred so loud that it momentarily caused Christoper to lose his hearing in the mix. He looked to his back and saw Yuri with an empty rocket launcher which then threw a bottle in his time of need. He chugs it down and his wounds are partially healed and a little ounce of his stamina is recovered

(Master... Can you hear me? Quickly before I fall apart, wield me. My body can no longer aid you but it can be used... for something else. Tell me... what do you desire?)

"I desire–" Lawrence flung a rock at aiming for him and he followed it by leaping and bashing his two hands to his spot

[Diabolus Ex-machina: Link complete!]

"Whew... that was a close one. You better watch out! Cause I’m gonna bring my all into this!"

A gas exploded from the rocks he stood below impairing his visual with its irritable sting to boot. A sound similar to the roar of a chainsaw emerges at the bottom and he responds by stomping to no end. But this is what he wanted to happen, Morris used the sound as a distraction and came from his defenseless rear

"No this is another trick– Arghhh!!!" Though he catches up with Morris’s schemes he is stopped mid-way by a bullet that pierces his arm

[Mode: Dreadful armor (Weakened state: Exoskeleton)]

"Heavens piercing nutcracker!!!"

He landed a critical to his groin no less Morris was running out of options though he could easily move he was outmatched. The stat difference between these two was the scale of a hill against a mountain that only remains due to his blessing. Without it, he would’ve died not so long ago at the speed of Pike’s attack grew to a point he even doubted he’d win

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Pike’s legs were shaking and he quickly swept them off the floor. In his fall Christoper moved his hand and tightly gripped the back of his head. He uses his raw strength and runs whilst grinding Pike’s mug violently at the ground. Their destination was the entrance to the 49th floor which was found to be rigged with bountiful bombs

"Yuri!!!"

"I know..."

He lifts Pike off the ground where he momentarily floats and Christoper bashes him towards the exit. Yuri sets the explosives with a push of a button and the two watch as a superb explosion occurs before their very eyes. But their plan wasn’t to bring him to a single spot for an all-out attack they knew it wouldn’t be enough

"Welcome... to the 49th floor!" What the two had planned long before was to return to the cleared stages for a loophole they found in their prior investigations

"Graahhha!!!"

Lawrence hardly even pays attention to what he says and charges in with his fit of unquenched anger. The attack was so strong it shook the entirety even reaching through the 50th floor. But as the smoke dispersed a wall was found between the two where Lawrence was confused. He walks away from the wall where he hardly even cared whether Pike’s attack or not and takes a sip of his potion

"What’s wrong, are you confused? Even though you’ve mostly conquered my mind, part of it returned to me... clearing a stage means I gain more control and influence but it only works on the floors I cleared,"

[System: Due to breaking a part of the trial rules you are severely penalized!

Status: You can no longer recover from potions at this point including mana and stamina

Special note: Because this is a special trial the GMs are forbidden to punish you. If you fail, however, be prepared to face the consequences]

"Recovery block? It’s a little troublesome but it’ll do... Now where were we? Oh right, come at me Pike!"

[System: Due to an error the player manages to activate and improve the skill Haste]

"Acceleration..." He suddenly disappears along with Pike and their battle escalates by such a fierce and powerful start

[Morris you may be able to use your skills but remember that each time you’ll get a restriction. It seems the angels are imposing the impossible on you... but you do not need to worry about any debuffs as far as I can see you’ll be inflicted with pain]

’Thanks for the heads up, Great benefactor? Now if you don’t mind I need to focus... my lifes on the line. I can feel it, just a little more and I’ll finally break. I can’t prolong this fight any more than it already has even if I have to force the blessing,’

[No... anything but that! I permitted you but I’m against that thought you have in your mind. Do you know how pissed that geezer will be if you die in my stead? I won’t hear the end of it]

"... you should’ve said that sooner, don’t you know once you gave permission you can’t take it back!!" Their fists collided with one another bringing a force that shook the rooms in a mere battle of strength

Lawrence finally learned his moveset and now he easily notices his feints along with his trickery. Seeing this Christoper knew he wouldn’t win with his usual style for this hoss was designed to be his opposite. Strong without any hardship, powerful without any training, and relentless when it comes to fights. This was everything he arrived to become but ultimately failed and relied on nothing more than his fist

"Hahahahha. Finally, you’re becoming a man. Come at me! Let’s end this never needing farce for good!!!"

Christoper was against using any skills since most of them require a large abundance of mana. Because of the applied penalty, even his mana breathing was blocked and he had nothing more than his bare hands. Using any form of martial arts would be effective but rather do more harm than good in his case

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

Their out-of-the-world brawl dialed down to an average day in America where each side threw all they could swing. His eyes were barely catching on and his fists were broken and the reason for their movement was the exoskeleton. Death was vastly approaching in every way and instead of dodging he let the non-vital strikes pass through his defenses

’Looks like mum’s boxing lessons came in handy... thank god for her. I just need one... more... hit!!!’

Suddenly his view darkened and a second later pain unimaginable for any normal man to resist arises. The sensation was the same as when he had Sage apply the sealed demonic eye through his very being. Both of his eyes exploded after the blessing finally reached its utmost limit and his eyes could no longer take the pressure

"You’re too slow!!!" Even after the endless pain that ensued within his eye socket, he was met with another aimed at his chest

Lawrence manages to land a clean hit sending Christoper crashing through the walls of the 49th stage. The armor barely saved his life, his condition was no longer relevant, and he could only hope but wait for his demise. But even in that state, he could feel a presence nearing his broken body and later a force that snapped his arm

"Ahhhhh!!!"

He moaned in pain and yet laughter filled the room in contrast to his never-ending suffering. He was ready to die, but something went against Pike, it was none other than Yuri Mikhailov. Though he couldn’t see he knew that the price was paid to catch Lawrence off guard where he even needed to let Christoper go

"Morris, can you hear me?"

His hearing was full of ringing but he could vaguely hear her trembling voice and he replied. "What did you do?"

She hesitates and after she takes a deep breath, she says whilst hiding her unbearable pain. "I– I lost my arm..."

"Which one?"

"... my left arm,"

"Hey, you could finally do a Shanks cosplay– Ow!" He jokes even though she seems to be pissed she chuckles as well holding him by his chest

"So this is where we’ll die? Huh... for what it’s worth I thought I’d die alone. I’m gonna miss Jin. I’m so sorry, I can only do this much. I’m too weak. I’m not like you, I can’t be like you–"

"Well duh, idiot! Who in the hell would want to be me? I’m a fucking moron for crying out loud... im only smart here because I know everything. I’m just a loser, once was, and always will be," Once he said that the air grew quiet, and instead of joking these two finally came to terms with their end

’This fucking sucks. I always imagined I’d die horribly and when my wish came true I fucking got this... I don’t have any problem but does it have to be my friend’s lover for crying out loud? Guess my win streak has been finally broken, fuck I should’ve been more prepared. Well, this is the fate of a side character who’s fated to die a horrible death, I can’t even amount to David,’

’By David, I mean the story of a little frail boy fighting Goliath a monstrous wrecking machine thirst for blood. I may not be religious but that one story my mum told me touched my heart that even a loser like me can win. But no, you know why? David is the main character, the chosen champion of god, the one who’ll be king, compared to him im nothing! The guy has a freaking plot armor!’

A loud stomp was heard and the two finally saw the end of their life in the form of an angel disguised as a monster. "Ahahahahahahaha! Finally, all of you will die before me! Say your last words!!!"

Yuri hugged Morris as her last comfort when the two were now nearing their end but who decided that? Pike though strong was knocked off by a single punch and Yuri stood dumbfounded at what she saw. A figure possessing eyes from every part of its body and as she saw its shape it was undoubtedly Christoper Morris. Once he finds Lawrence’s location with the use of his eyes he dashes through the ruins to put an end to this fight

|[Morris... listen to me! There has to be another way okay? You’re already at your limit anymore and... and...]|

[She’s right we need to escape]

(I agree master this isn’t worth it)

’Oh we’re finally here at this moment... so before you say anything I wasn’t clownin’ when I said I’ll die. It’s just that I still have some unfinished businesses,’

([Rewrite system: A main quest has finally arrived for the very first time!

"Yuri... I’ve been at the bottom of the social ladder. A professional loser my entire life. But never will I give up. Even if hell awaits me I won’t cower in fear. Yeah, I might not be David but I have what he doesn’t, my unwavering pride!!!"

|[Shut up! You’re delusional! And who the hell is David? Come back here now!!! Please, Morris im begging you!]|

[Looks like she knows as well... in this state of yours where not even the system aids you that borrowed manifestation will be your end. I’m talking about death as in not when your body ceases to move but your existence itself, your soul! It will crumble and you’ll cease to exist in this world]

"It’s under my calculation... can you do me a teensy favor and keep the transformation for about half an hour? If you know Sage then I can assure you we both think alike, I’ll do anything in return,"

[You have thirty minutes... I can’t add more than that. Though im a prophet not many believe in me. So even if you ask for more then it wouldn’t be enough]

"Thanks a bunch, you won’t regret it!"
