The Gamer's System

Chapter 91: The Final Trick

On the realm of the gods, everyone witnessed what the new chosen human of the major deities have accomplished. Or rather, what that same human is currently creating.

"Oh?" Was all that Nisha could say, interested in the current act of the human. She swirled a liquid on her wine glass which looked a lot like the night sky.

Her counterpart, however, is nowhere near satisfied. In fact, the only word that could describe Sinclair's current state is furry. She didn't like the fact that, a mere human imitated the genesis of creation itself.

Chrono on the other hand couldn't help but laugh from the sight. The god of time continued floating around with his hands on his stomach. 'I knew you'd be someone fun.' Was all that the god of time could say, entertained with Zeke Elwood.

Meanwhile, within his own realm, Pier also laughed because he knows what will soon happen to Zeke. The human will receive the scorn of many minor gods. If there is one thing that the god of mischief knows, its that the minor gods do not want any mortal entity that could rival them. Meaning, after the fight, Zeke will have things to worry about other than Mythos.

"That's a bad move mortal." Pier said in a malicious wide grin.

Down on the human realm, Zeke's skill continued eating up everything on its path. The skill now turned into a giant orb with orbiting rocks and debris'. Lightning surrounded the massive black hole and, within all of this is Gallio. The skill didn't last for much longer. Without any mana being fed to it, the skill naturally ended on its own little by little. The black hole shrank until, it vanished completely.

"You can't possibly survive a black hole, right?" Zeke came closer to the scene. Without any shadows to dive to, Zeke used [Flash Step] to get nearer.

This time, there is nothing left. Not even Gallio's bones nor any drop of his blood could be seen. Everything got eaten up by the skill combination. But, the human still couldn't rest easy until the quest reward comes. And it did, a few seconds after.

[The Main Quest Defeat the Evil King II has been Cleared!]

[200 Skill Points are given as a reward]

[100 Attribute Points are given as a reward]

[Bonus Reward: Mystery Chest]

Even with the rewards for the main quest, something still didn't feel right to Zeke. Then, he remembered how the last clause of his contract with Gallio is yet to occur.

"What's the meaning of all this?" Zeke said to himself. A question asked a second too late. Because now, Zeke has a crimson red spear piercing through his chest.

A lot of confusion covers the current situation. And to clear everything out, we must look at the perspective of the culprit who continued slithering through his enemies until this very moment.

...

...

...

Standing next to the sleeping Sylvia, Glade continued laughing as he saw the sorry state of the human. His hair is now white while, his skin is of an almost red color. Beside him is a vial which contained Gallio's blood seconds ago. Glade drank it even before the skill of Zeke ended. Through the vial, Gallio can transfer bodies once again and, the process was excruciating for Glade who did his best to claim control.

"Good work my descendant." Gallio said as he slowly took the body from the elf.

"Thanks." Glade said as he took a vial hidden in his coat one which he personally made for the moment.

"Now go and join the dead." He continued, chugging down the liquid. There was a lot of screaming and thrashing around that followed. Until, finally, the one who came on top was Glade. His features changed greatly, coupled with him inheriting all the attributes and skills of Gallio. But other than this, the elf retained his personality. Killing Gallio through the vial which poisons the part of Gallio's blood which contains the king's body takeover.

This event soon followed the ending of Zeke's skill. Ultimately leading to two things. One is the successful fulfillment of Zeke's main quest but, as for the contract, it had no way of being accomplished. Especially now that it doesn't register Glade since, what he just performed changed who he is entirely.

"Let's clean things up before he notices." Glade continued, bringing out the crimson spear out of thin air.

"Homing, Presence Vanish, Teleportation, Added Pierce." Glade activated all these skills at once and, threw the spear which immediately disappeared from his hand and, reappeared sticking through Zeke's chest. Leading us to the present moment.

The spear caught Zeke by surprise. There was no presence, no warning, no sound, no mana, no pointer on the [Minimap]. Nothing warned him of the projectile coming and, what surprised him more are the things that came with it.

[Information: All skills are momentarily disabled.]

[Information: Regeneration has been disabled.]

[Information: Every other defensive and restorative skill has been disabled.]

[Information: You are paralyzed by the Crimson Spear.]

[Information: The weapon forces you to register pain.]

"Come on, you gotta figure out that it's me." Glade said out loud as he watched the scene from the safety of Gallio's hidden laboratory.

The elf planned two things, the killing of all the Leonis members and, the death of Gallio. With how rushed the pacing has been, Zeke had no way to think of every factor involved. In fact, it must be remembered that, in his timeline, only 6 days have passed. And, the human did not expect to have such a chaotic entrance back to Mythos.

If the gods did not interfere, things would definitely have worked out for him. Part of what he couldn't properly think and plan about is the real goal of Glade. And now, he is paying the price for the tampering of the gods toward his original goal.

"How?" Zeke said, looking at what just happened to him. There is nobody on the battlefield but, it didn't take Zeke that long to figure out the culprit to the attack.

"GLADE!" He shouted through the communication channel. The human thought that he would be safe from the elf's clutches because of the clauses added to the contract. With the elf even adding that it needs to be Zeke who'd finish off the king, he thought even more of how the elf would safely watch in the sidelines throughout the fight.

Bu he wasn't aware of the contract being void once one side of the party dies. Glade did seconds ago with the blood of Gallio, he has been successfully reborn into a new Blood Elf.

"Ohh this is just golden." Glade said merrily. He then took out two ordinary spears and place the same set of skills to it. Then, he released them from his hands. One hit Zeke's leg while, the other pierced through his shoulder blade. With the crimson spear activating all his pain receptors, Zeke screamed in agony.

"What did you do!" Zeke said again, feeling death slowly crawl over his skin. He is in pain of course but, this didn't stop the gamer from trying to find a way out of the situation.

"Isn't it obvious? I double-crossed you...idiot." Glade continued.

[Notification: Crimson spear's final effect is now starting. You will die after five minutes.]

Even if his skills stopped working, Zeke's [System Features] are still in effect. But there is no way he could benefit from things like these. Especially with the deadlock he is placed in.

"You're about to die but, I won't let it end that peacefully."

Another spear came out. This time, it hit the other leg of Zeke, forcing the human to drop to his knees. Then another came, piercing through his throat. Running out of breath, the human still refused to surrender.

With every ounce of energy he has left, Zeke placed all his equipment back to his inventory. He also collected all the loot left from his fight with Gallio through conjuring [Winged Monkeys]. Conjuring is a system feature and hence, it cannot be disabled by the [Crimson Spear's] effects.

"I have no idea what you're trying to pull. But let me tell you this." Glade began, using another spear to hit Zeke's left hand and, this pulled the human to the ground. Then, one more followed, targeting Zeke's lower spine.

"That body of yours will soon be mine. I'll tear it apart and use every fiber and muscle of your corpse in order to strengthen me even more." Glade continued. With his windpipe and vocal chords all destroyed, Zeke couldn't speak anymore, let alone breath. His vision began getting hazy and, the cold embrace of death crept up to him.

"Elysium will be formed anew. I'll finish the war Gallio began and, claim everything for myself!" Glade said, sounding more and more like Gallio. There wasn't any resistance at all and, Gallio watched the human's life slowly end.

With the power of Gallio claimed as his own, Glade now stands on top of any mortal in Mythos. The only thing lacking with Gallio is the wit and calm possessed by his descendant. With Glade taking control, the power cultivated by Gallio will finally be optimized to their full potential.

"You were too focused on the small details my dear ancestor." Glade said to himself as he held the last spear on his hand. Zeke is still helplessly on the ground, with a pool of blood bathing him.

"This body of yours. I'll make sure that not even the gods can't destroy it." With this said, Glade threw the final spear causing the death of the gamer - Zeke Elwood
