Chapter 250: Vengeance of Tobias
Chapter 250: Vengeance of Tobias
The dogs lunged while baring their teeth.
Adam smashed his sword through one of the dogs. The sword was so heavy that the dog's body was immediately pinned to the ground, unable to move.
It died without being able to do anything.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
[You killed the Corrupted Dog of Tobias!]
[10 XP Acquired!]
The two other dogs jumped over the greatsword and opened their jaws to attack.
Adam dodged the first dog, and the second dog attacked his leg, but he quickly lifted his leg to dodge that as well. Both dogs went past him as their attacks failed.
While dragging his greatsword behind him, he lifted it high in a reverse grip and stabbed it through one of the dogs through the back.
The dog yelped before dying.
[You killed the Corrupted Dog of Tobias!]
[10 XP Acquired!]
The last dog ran at him with a ferocious growl, but he swiftly sidestepped and plunged his sword into its side, ending its life.
[You killed the Corrupted Dog of Tobias!]
[10 XP Acquired!]
Adam twirled his greatsword around as if it didn't weigh anything and faced Tobias with a cold look frozen over his face.
"You killed my dogs," Tobias said coldly. "I truly hate you players."
"And why do you hate us that much?" Adam asked.
"Why? Haha!" Tobias laughed angrily. "It's because all of you treat life as if it didn't weigh anything and face no consequences. Your kind is killing Originals without blinking an eye."
Adam didn't speak a word.
"It must be nice..." Tobias said. "To have a power of resurrection. All of you bastards can just come back from death, while if the rest of us anger even one mercenary, our life is over!
"All we have to do is keep you bastards happy so your kind won't kill me and my family! "You all act like heroes.
"Keeping us safe from the horrors of the wasteland.
"However, who is keeping us safe from your kind?!"
The black smoke on the cigarette turned red, as if it were resembling Tobias' anger and hatred.
At that same moment, red smoke started to come from his flesh, enveloping him in a fiery aura of vengeance.
"This is the power I've received to protect my kind!" Tobias screamed. "With this, I'll protect my kind from the likes of you!"
With a strong lunge, the ground shattered under him, and Tobias appeared right in front of Adam.
With a clenched fist, Tobias threw a punch that held all the hatred of his very being.
"Rage Smash!"
Adam placed his greatsword in the way of the punch, but once the fist landed on the blade, the ground under him shattered, and he was thrown backwards with great force.
BOOM!
After another lunge, Tobias appeared near Adam and threw another punch.
"Rage Smash Ultimatum!"
The fist landed on the blade of the greatsword, and this time, Adam's knees buckled under him, causing the ground below him to shatter and break.
Boom!
A small crater appeared under him, and Adam coughed out some blood.
[-100 HP!]
[HP: 900/1300]
"Rage Kick!"
This time, a kick landed on Adam's shoulder, and it made him collapse on the ground. The shoulder was now broken.
Tobias lifted his leg high and kicked it down with his heel first.
Adam quickly rolled out of the way and whispered under his breath. "Minor Healing..."
The shoulder healed as now that he was level three in Magick, his Minor Healing had greater healing capabilities. Healing simple fractures was very easy.
As if he had turned angrier, Tobias let out an inhumane scream, and the ground around him began to crack and tremble.
His flesh started to turn red, and he started to look more like a monster than a human.
He then raised his clenched fist, and behind his fist, a surge of crimson energy started to gather. It began to look like a ball of blood.
"Blood of the Vengeance!"
With a swing of his arm, the ball of blood shot towards Adam at an unbelievable speed.
Adam smashed his sword through the ball of blood, cutting it in half, but the two pieces of the ball exploded on impact, covering Adam in a spray of crimson liquid.
It started to sizzle and burn his skin, causing excruciating pain.
"This is the pain of the vengeance!" Tobias screamed. "It hurts, doesn't it?!"
Adam winced in pain while the crimson liquid continued to burn his skin. It would definitely leave scars behind.
Snap!
As Tobias snapped his fingers, hundreds of balls of blood appeared all around him. They were much smaller, about the same size as bullets, but they swirled around him in a deadly dance, waiting for his next command.
"This is the start of my vengeance. Here, enjoy the Bullets of Vengeance!"
With another snap, he released the deadly blood projectiles that headed straight at Adam. The hallway didn't have enough space to dodge all of them.
So, one would think that he was destined to get hit by those and die.
Adam didn't move a muscle. His facial expression softened, and he dropped his greatsword.
'He doesn't plan on dodging?' Tobias frowned. 'He has given up? As expected from mercenaries, such weak will. He can always resurrect; that's what he must be thinking. I hate
people like that!'
However, when those blood bullets came near him, they all missed him by a hairbreadth. They swooshed past his ear, past his clothing, past his legs, and past his arms before
disappearing into the distance.
Adam didn't move an inch, yet all those hundreds of bullets missed!
"How?!" Tobias screamed out.
Motionless + Level Three Kiryoku!
While Adam wasn't moving his upper body, he switched his center of gravity with his knees,
and using his Kiryoku, he was able to dodge every single bullet.
It was still extremely difficult.
There weren't many people in the history of Mortal Online that could've achieved that feat.
"I do pity you." Adam said and picked up his greatsword. "However, look at you. You've abandoned being Original for power."
Tobias took a step back and felt his anger fading away. It wasn't because he stopped feeling hatred, but because fear had taken its place.
His power only worked when he was feeling hatred and anger, and without it, he was back to
being weak Original.
"No... that can't be." Tobias gritted his teeth. "I can't die. I have vengeance needed to be
fulfilled!"
The anger returned back to him like a tidal wave, and his flesh felt like it was on fire.
However, at that moment, Adam swung his sword at him, but Tobias blocked it with his exposed arms, and the clash of metal against bone echoed through the empty hallway.
The blow sent Tobias into a wall, and his arm was immediately broken. Adam then stabbed his greatsword through his body with a vicious force. "Argh!" Tobias coughed out blood and summoned a singular bullet of blood, but before he
could send it at Adam, the greatsword sliced through his body and pinned him to the wall. With pain overwhelming his nerves, his anger vanished once again, and he collapsed on the ground like a crumpled doll.
"Ow..." Tobias coughed out blood. "It hurts... hurts... Hurts!"
"I do agree with your words." Adam said. "However, I fear that you won't be able to see the
clear picture. You might end up hurting those you love. A revenge filled with anger is a
dangerous combo."
"You're filthy mercenary!" Tobias screamed. "I hope Chaosbeings end up killing all of you!"
The first sentence was still uttered by human voice, but the second one already sounded like a
voice of Chaosbeing.
"Corrupted Originals can't stay as Originals. The corrupted part of theirs will always win, and
if you had beaten me here, you would've become Chaosbeing who has access to the New
World.
"I couldn't let you live, knowing the danger you possess." Tobias teared up, and then, he collapsed onto the ground, dead.
