Re:Immortal

Chapter 97

Seeing the crow man's body explode momentarily stunned Omis's assailants. Another clone that was identical to Omis the only difference was its black hair had suddenly appeared. By the time the group managed to regain their bearings another one had already fallen.

"ARGHH!"

A loud cry filled with anguish and regret broke through the area, as triangular head faced Omis's punch head-on, the shield that was surrounding him had fluttered when the crow died, and Omis did not miss that opportunity and launched his attack effectively eliminating another one.

The wolf's expression seemed almost human-like as he looked at where his two companions had died. Yet leaving him with no time to regret his decision, Omis's main body continued to viciously launch attack after attack.

The main difference was that Omis's main body had both his eyes glow with a holy golden light, he seemed to look at the wolf in disdain with a cold gaze as he launched spell after spell keeping him at bay.

His second body, however, was the complete opposite. He had a completely crazed look. A savage grin was plastered on his face as he turned to look at the last surviving member of the party, the lady.

Seeing Omis's gaze stared at her like a hunter looking at its prey made her lose her wits. Her face turned as pale as a sheet as she turned around to flee. A dimension portal appeared where she jumped in without any regard to her companion who was still locked in battle against Omis.

*Woosh*

The sound of Omis's invisible blade cutting through the air was heard followed by a shriek of pain before finally, her body stumbled out of another void tear a small distance away. She was bleeding heavily, her left arm was missing.

Her face held a serious expression as she glanced at Omis's second body flying towards her with a crazed expression. Seeing that her body suddenly relaxed as she took a deep breath and brought the shield down.

Omis was surprised at that but had no time to think about it, he was already upon her, not to mention, the primordial energy in his body was boiling in excitement. His mind was in turmoil, the only thing he was thinking about was to kill!

The lady's face turned calm as she watched Omis approach, and to his shock, she simply opened her arms as if to welcome him. Confused, Omis was already past the point of retreat as he came closer.

It was then that his expression suddenly fell, as he tried to hurriedly change directions and retreat. The lady had already given up her life, she was about to detonate her core.

His main body's expression turned somber as he turned to stare at the distance. His opponent, the wolf was already in a miserable state, two of his limbs were cut off, and the constant barrage of spells that Omis kept bombarding him with prevented him from healing.

Yet as the wolf was preparing himself for another attack, none came. He looked up confused only to find Omis's retreating body a distance away. The wolf's expression was blank as he saw him run away.

"What the-?" Unable to finish his sentence, the sound of a loud explosion brought him back to his senses.

*Boooom*

Turning around, the wolf was faced with a mushroom cloud that extended towards the sky. The aftermath of the explosion that had just occurred, before his face turned into one of resignation as he waited for it to engulf him.

"I'll be damned." He muttered before his deep gruff voice was drowned by the loud explosion, his body soon disappearing right after.

A distance away, Omis could be found standing in the air watching the mushroom cloud in the distance. His face was serious as a small line of blood trickled from the corner of his lips. His left eye was red but was also bleeding.

A side effect from forcefully summoning his clone back inside his body. Despite the risks, Omis had no choice.

"Damn it, that was too close for comfort." He grumbled. The lady was too vicious, Omis had not expected her to be so decisive as to burn her life force and cause her core to explode without any hesitation whatsoever.

He was caught off guard and had he left his second body to face that explosion head-on, he would have without a doubt lost it.

'I was too careless, I got cocky.' He shook his head. This past fight was like a wake-up call, one should never underestimate his opponents and be prepared for everything that might happen.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Omis soon continued his flight north following the little thread towards his disciple. Along the way, his mind constantly replayed his earlier fight.

He tried to reflect on what he did right and what he did wrong. Everything was going perfect, though perhaps he should have taken care of the lady first once he saw her summon the shields. Nodding, he was too hasty. He had also brought out his clone too early.

His main body was strong enough to handle his assailants for a few breaths while they were occupied with him when their guards were down and they were feeling confident, that was the moment he should have made his move.

His second body should have gone for the lady, only once she was taken care of should he have made his move against the other two while his main body still held the wolf at bay.

But what if even the wolf decided to burn his life force and explode his core? Reaching that train thought caused his head to hurt. There were a lot of variables in a fight, he was lucky this one passed without him getting seriously injured.

'There is still a lot of things I need to learn.' He sighed to himself.

As Omis turned into a streak of light that broke through the air, various thoughts flooded his mind. He kept reenacting his previous fight while trying to think of various ways it could have gone better.
