The Villain's Story Chapter [454] The conclusion stayed the same.

Chapter 454 [454] The conclusion stayed the same.

[||DECIMATION|| is being activated.]

The system informed him, and as Elijah struggled to buy some time for the activation of the skill, he tried thinking about what he could do, and what he needed to do to get out of this predicament.

With the monstrous weight above him, he would only be able to do this for about a minute or so. Any longer and his body, even though it may be that of a dragon currently would fall and be crushed until it was frozen paste.

'10...more seconds...'

Elijah thought, as the skills power gradually increased.

[Decimation: 50%.]

It would take ten more seconds for the skill to be completely powered up. To 100%

Then, he would be able to do?something.

As the timer slowly decreased, Elijah pondered.

'My skills won't do anything to this...And the ones that will require too much mana.'

It took a lot of mana to sustain this form, piling that up with the ridiculous number of enhancing skills he was already using...His mana was insanely low, Even though he had been using an absurd amount of potions to replenish it.

And he didn't even have any credits to purchase more from the system anyways, he was broke.

[Supreme Dragon of Fire Agri encourages you.]

Agri was still encouraging him to try and succeed, to defeat Alan once he got rid of this ma.s.sive boulder.

'It's hard...Who knows where he will be when I do destroy this thing...'

He thought, somewhat scared. If he did destroy this meteor with the help of decimation...Where would Alan be?

The act would nearly cripple him, and thinking about fighting Alan when he was one foot inside death's door was a terrifying thought.

'5 seconds...'

[Decimation:75%.]

Just five more seconds...and he had decided what he would do.

It would take his all, but to get out of this it would be worth it. As decimation reached it's peak, Elijah's body emitted an intense amount of heat that clashed against the biting frost of the meteor. His flesh recovered and his scales were made anew. And for the first time since this never ending collision, he moved up. Instead of gradually going lower and lower and helplessly fighting against the meteors weight, he was finally going up.

'1...second.'

He thought, and as he finished his words in his mind ||Decimation|| was activated.

[Decimation:100%.]

Everything changed for him, magma like veins appeared on his skin and the heat which it was already releasing increased tenfold, melting the ice on the meteor above him. Elijah, empowered by the skill flew up and did something none would have expected.

Instead of using his dragon form to continue fighting...he cancelled it.

A bright flash of red light engulfed the floor and blinded even Alan for a second. Elijah transformed back into his human form, but the effects of decimation were still active.

Red hot skin and magma like veins, blood escaping from every orifice and hole and the warmth of his body hot enough to melt steel.

The meteor continued to descend freely now that no dragon was there to oppose it, and Elijah fell to the ground. However, he was still facing the meteor. He accessed his inventory and took out his sword.

[Item: Blade of Sundering h.e.l.lfire has been equipped.]

The katana with a scarlet blade appeared in his hands and he transferred his mana to it. It shone with a bright red light, as if the metal which made it was going to melt.

Elijah breathed out ash and propelled himself towards the meteor by making explosions on his feet.

He took a stance, and activated every skill he could with his meager amounts of mana left.

[Skill: Enhancement has been activated.]

[Skill: Fire Born has been activated.]

[Skill: One with fire has been extended.]

[Skill: One with the blade has been activated.]

His heat and the frost mana from the meteor collided, and Elijah controlled the heat emitted from him to make a small spike which would pierce through the dense mana of frost, and allow him to get closer and closer.

'Come on...'

He said in his mind, his body breaking apart. Skin and hair broke apart and was incinerated before it could even fall towards the ground.

Elijah penetrated through the dense s.h.i.+eld, and the meteor was in front of his face. And then he did it.

[Fiery Sword(5-star).]

---Fifth Movement---

///Blade of Fire\

But that was not all. He still had one more skill to activate, and he paid a dear price for doing so.

[Skill of Item: Glimpse of h.e.l.l has been activated.]

s.p.a.ce cracked apart, and a red dimension was brought forth. The flames that were released from this put all [h.e.l.lfire] skills to shame. The sheer power even brought most fire skills to shame! Whether they be of SSS rank!

"Huu..."

Ash was exhaled once again, and the world turned quiet. The sound of the meteors descents, the sound of his flames, of his wounds, and his skills all disappeared.

It was all quiet.

And then it was not. One single sound broke the silence and brought forth with a mult.i.tude of ear piercing sounds.

It was a crisp, yet strange sound. Like the sound of toasted bread being cut apart but by a scalding knife instead. It was like such a sound. One that many wouldn't imagined to have heard.

But instead of toasted bread being cut and a knife being used. It was a katana that cut through a meteor.

The ice on the meteor split apart and melted in seconds, before the liquid water could even fall it was heated up into steam.

The meteor turned bright red, and a red line streaked across it.

And it was split into half.

The outside world watched in awe, as they saw a skill that was capable of reducing a city and it's surroundings into dust be cut apart by a 17 year old kid.

Time stopped, and Elijah ran up the meteor by using one half to support him.

"ALAN!"

He yelled, looking at Alan high in the skies, looking down on him.

His sword, which was cracking slowly due to the immense power it just released was pointed at Alan, and Alan responded.

"..."

Alan remained silent and equipped the Ame-No-Sakahoko. He flew downwards towards Elijah. And both of them looked at one another with murderous gazes.

"COME ON!

Elijah yelled, rus.h.i.+ng to complete this before his body broke apart, which would be?very?soon.

Alan knew this, and could have chosen to just wait but he didn't.

"Fine."

He answered, and flew towards Elijah, ignoring the scalding heat.

[Chaotic Spear(7-star).]

-First Movement-

/Abyssal Rend

The art he had not used in quite a while, it held so much power but also came with great risks. Alan's mana covered the end of his spear and he swung.

He teleported right in front of Elijah to gain an advantage, and his spear cut Elijah's flesh and intestines. The blade would have split apart his body if his spine had not stopped the slash. But Elijah did not stay idle. Knowing his sword would prove useless in such a short range, he resorted to using hands. But even they, with the power of decimation posed a great threat. With swift precision(even though his body was almost cut in half), he twisted it and punched Alan right at the side of the head, in the temple area.

His fist shattered Alan's scales like they were gla.s.s and Alan's eyes almost fell out of their sockets. They were close to it as well.

"YOU!"

Elijah yelled once again, stepping back in order to make his sword be in a good range. He positioned his sword like he was going to stab Alan but everything went awry.

[Chaotic Spear(7-star).]

--Second Movement--

//Oblivion Thrust\

Elijah's sword, the Sword of sundering flames was turned to dust in front of the sword, the Ame-No-Sakahoko proved it was a superior weapon and literally obliterated the blade.

And Elijah was left with a hole in his chest.

"Ah..."

His arms lifelessly fell, well, what was left of them fell anyways. His blood, which was reaching it's boiling point dropped towards the ground and all went quiet once again.

Elijah stepped back causing the Ame-No-Sakahoko to leave behind a gaping hole. His eyes were in shock, considering his injuries this was very normal.

The state his body was in...well even dragons and G.o.d beasts would find it near impossible to survive in such a state. That was all that could be said.

Alan fell to his knees, suffering from the recoil of his actions, meanwhile Elijah just stood in a daze as his body slowly started to fall off the meteor.

However, the tower declared it Alan's victory before it could happen.

[Challenger Elijah has been deemed unable to fight. Transport outside the tower in underway.]

His body slowly started to disappear, and Elijah snapped out of his shocked state for a second.

"Hey..."

He barely managed to mutter.

"Make sure...to clear..."

He continued, each letter a word a grueling task.

"This d.a.m.ned...thing..."

And his body vanished. Alan stood up, his body too being covered in a white light.

[Congratulations on clearing the fiftieth floor!]

[Transporting to the next Floor.]

[No rewards will be given for this floor.]

Alan balanced himself on the falling half of the meteor and said.

"Yeah..."

He knew Elijah couldn't listen to his words.

"I'll do it..."

He promised, the words were intended to give him strength.

[You have been transported into the next floor.]

[The tower bids you good luck!]

Fifty done, fifty left.
