Talent Awakening: Draconic Overlord Of The Apocalypse

Chapter 177: Overlord Against The Reapers Part Four



Mira watched in shock as Kai's attack was dealt with so easily, seeing him try his best to stand despite the intense burns he must have had all over his body from the lightning strike.

She saw how Alister watched as Kai tried his best, proceeding to kick him in the abdomen every time he tried to get on his feet. He was obviously far stronger; with his total combat power, he should have done away with the rest of them like he did Aria.

She remembered what he said, the sick smile he had on his face before he proceeded to burn Rex to an unrecognizable corpse.

"He's toying with us... We don't stand a chance against him... And if we all keep this up..."

"Then..."

"We'll all die here..." Finally realizing how dire their situation was, she turned to flee.

"No... I won't die here. I have my whole life ahead of me!" she yelled.

She ran as fast as her legs could carry her, using her talent to enhance her speed. Kael and Kai watched in shock as they saw her go.

Alister watched her as well. Suddenly smiling, he said, "How interesting."

VOOM

With a sudden burst of speed, he chased after her, appearing right before her face in the next instant, covering miles in mere moments.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"Don't tell me you are abandoning your team?"

"Is that the attitude one should expect from a member of the Reapers' elite raid team?" "How comical."

He stepped forward towards her slowly, step by step, causing her to look in terror as she stepped backward, her legs trembling.

Out of nowhere, Mira suddenly fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"P-please, spare me! I beg of you, sir, I... I didn't know... this was just a mission. I have no ill intentions towards you... please... I'll do anything," she begged, her voice trembling.

Alister shook his head slowly. "Awww, how sad. Unfortunately, mercy is not a commodity I can afford to give out," he said.

"But don't worry. For your surrender, I'll ensure you don't suffer." With a swift, merciless swing of his tail, Alister decapitated her, her blood splattering on his scales. Mira's body crumpled to the ground, lifeless, blood staining the earth crimson.

"Mira!"

Kael screamed her name, his voice filled with anguish and rage. He clenched his teeth, his eyes blazing with fury. Blue flames erupted from his hands, forming into massive fireballs.

"You monster, to kill with such a look is sickening. You deserve to die."

"Oh please, you call me a monster, but are you forgetting the sick look you had in your eyes when you said Kai would be killing me as compensation?"

"And for Yanzi of all things, I must say it was hilarious."

Alister paused slightly before continuing, "I may be a sick monster now, but only God knows how long you've been a sick bastard."

"If anyone deserves to die, then it would be you." Alister said, pointing a clawed finger at Kael, grinning right after. His words made Kael grit his teeth, his anger rising.

"Die!" he yelled, charging forward.

He hurled them at Alister, the flames creating a series of powerful explosions.

The inferno raged around Alister, but he walked through the fire unscathed, as if it were nothing more than a gentle breeze. His scales glowed in the light, reflecting the destructive power of Kael's attacks.

"I must commend you, that was rather impressive, but do tell. Is that all?" Alister taunted.

Kael's heart pounded in his chest as he hurled more fireballs, each one more intense than the last. The ground shook with the force of the explosions, but Alister remained unaffected, advancing towards him steadily.

With a roar of frustration and despair, Kael charged at Alister, with flames blazing around him. Alister effortlessly dodged the strikes, moving in a blur. He grabbed Kael by the throat, lifting him off the ground.

Kael struggled, his flames flickering weakly as Alister's grip tightened.

"Your efforts are commendable."

"But ultimately futile." He squeezed, and Kael's neck snapped with a sickening crunch. Kael's body went limp, and Alister tossed him aside like a broken doll.

[Ding! [5/6] targets eliminated.]

[All stats +30%.]

Kai, the last remaining member of the team, watched in horror as his comrades were slaughtered one by one. His body trembled with a touch of fear and rage.

"You monster!" he screamed, summoning every last ounce of his strength.

He teleported frantically, daggers flashing as he tried to land a hit. Alister batted him away

with ease, toying with him. Kai's movements grew slower, his strength waning.

With a final burst of energy, Kai lunged at Alister, aiming for his heart. Alister caught the dagger in his hand, shattering it effortlessly.

"It's over, Kai, join your team now in the afterlife." he said.

Alister's clawed hand shot forward, piercing Kai's chest. Kai gasped, blood spilling from his mouth as he looked into Alister's cold eyes.

Kai managed a smile, "This isn't the end... I'll be back, and when I do... I'll make sure to make you suffer, I'll take away everything precious to you, I wonder how everyone will react when they find out Mr prodigy is actually a monster..." He chuckled weakly.

"You'll be abandoned. Labeled a freak and hunted down, and I'll be sure to watch as you drown in agony and wish for death."

"An then I... will be the one to land the finishing blow." He whispered, his vision fading to

black.

[Ding! [6/6] targets eliminated.]

[All stats +30%.]

[Quest completed!]

[Notice! All threats neutralized, Berserk deactivated.]

Alister's dragon body shrunk slightly but his scales remained. He proceeded to pull out his

claws from Kai's body.

VIZZZ

Alister felt a massive stinger in his head, causing him to wince slightly.

'Side effects of the skill deactivation...' he thought.

His mind raced back to what Kael said a moment ago, "But... Was I really smiling?" he wondered, deciding to push it aside since he decided it didn't really matter, at least for now. But unbeknownst to him, by doing that, a certain emotion inside him died.

He surveyed the battlefield, the bodies of the Reapers scattered around him. "What a mess..." he muttered, his stomach nearly churning at the sight of the bloody scene.

"But now that this is over with, I should start finding my way back to the others." Turning away from the carnage, his power had grown, but there was still much to do. He stepped over the fallen, moving forward, and then with a massive beat of his golden wings, he took to the skies.
