Chapter 86 - 86: Intentional Enraging
’No! I can’t take the risk! I need to dodge this attack at all costs!’ he thought as he jumped back, without caring for anything.
He activated his power of strength augmentation to help his movement become faster. Simultaneously, he got ready to use his Spatial Displacement at a moment’s notice if Lucifer’s attack got close enough to hit him.
He kept his eyes on Lucifer. He was sure that it was going to be a deciding attack that he couldn’t underestimate.
The two of them were awfully close to the walls of the whirlwind. Right at that moment, a person appeared out of nowhere.
The Delta Squad Warrior Ruke had jumped inside the whirlwind, thinking to help Flourance in the battle, but he didn’t know how wrong his timing was. His position was just as bad.
He couldn’t see the other side of the whirlwind, so he didn’t know what was happening here. He just happened to jump in the middle of Flourance and Lucifer. The fist of Lucifer that was aimed at Flourance hit Ruke, who appeared out of nowhere.
"Wha-"
Ruke couldn’t comprehend what was happening. As soon as he jumped inside, the first and the last thing he saw was Lucifer’s fist that landed on his face.
That was the end... the end of his life. The power of Lucifer’s attack was so high that as soon as it hit the face of Ruke, his head blew up.
Remains of his head flew everywhere, some of which landed in Flourance’s face as well, covering his face with blood and other things.
Lucifer also suffered the same. His chest and his face were covered in blood. It didn’t stop there. Even when the attack had blown up the head of Ruke, his body still suffered the impact of the attack.
The rest of Ruke’s body hit Flourance, throwing him back as well. Flourance flew out of the whirlwind and crashed on the ground. Ruke’s headless body laid on top of him.
"Urgh." Flourance moved the body to the side as he stood up.
The rain had lightened before, but it had again intensified now.
He used the rain to wipe the blood off of his face.
"Looks like I really underestimated that guy. Anyway, I shouldn’t take risks anymore. His healing is really powerful. I can’t defeat him easily. I think my plan worked well enough as it is."
"I have enraged him enough to forget all the suspicions he might have had. Now, it’s time for the main part of the plan. I need to take him to the designated location at any cost."
"Three Delta Squad members are already dead. I can’t lose more," Flourance muttered as he started running towards the rest of the Delta Squad members who were standing on the other end of the road, right beside spot zero.
"He will definitely follow me to kill me after he sees me there. He is really enraged. I think this time, we got him. The start of our plan was slightly off track, but we are back in the right direction. We can do it."
....
The rest of the Delta Squad members were watching the whirlwind, waiting for people to come out.
"What’s happening? What’s taking so long? Is that kid really so strong that even Vice-Captain Flourance is having a hard time defeating him?" one of them asked after waiting for some time.
"Don’t be stupid! He must be playing around with the kid; that’s why he is taking a long time. Don’t think too much," another Variant replied, refuting strongly.
"Right. There is no way that he is unable to defeat the kid when the kid can’t even touch him."
The rest of the members also agreed. They all had faith in Flourance.
That was when they saw Flourance come out with a headless body; crashing on the ground.
"W-was he defeated? The kid tossed him out? That headless body isn’t of the kid after all," One of them asked.
"Don’t talk nonsense. He seems perfectly fine. Only Ruke is dead. Also, no one else is coming out of there. The kid must be dead already."
That’s what they thought when they saw Flourance running towards them, which confused them even more. They decided to hear from Flourance himself about what happened inside.
....
Flourance continued running towards the other.
He glanced back only to grow surprised that Lucifer wasn’t out of the whirlwind, chasing after him yet. After thinking carefully, he understood the reason.
"I understand. I remember seeing another person jump inside the whirlwind after Ruke. He might be the one delaying Lucifer, but I can’t stop. He can’t face that monster. By the time I go back to help, he would be dead. That makes four members dead today," he let out, sighing.
"I can only use his sacrifice as an opportunity. He can delay him. By the time Lucifer comes out, I would be there. I was worried that Lucifer might see me moving through the corners and follow the same path. That would have failed that plan. That’s why I enraged him so much. It is even better if he can’t see how I get there. It’s much safer."
...
Inside the whirlwind, Lucifer had just killed Ruke when another person jumped inside the whirlwind. Ruke’s body and Flourance were thrown out of the eye of the whirlwind, leaving only Drai and Lucifer inside.
"Blood? You killed Ruke! You bastard! I will kill you!" Drai roared as he ran closer to Lucifer and kicked.
Lucifer gazed at Drai with an expressionless face. Just when the kick was about to hit him, he did the same as he did with Flourance.
He kicked out as well; however, the outcome was different. Drai was a Warrior who didn’t back off at the last time, unlike Flourance, who was more alert.
The legs of the two clashed, resulting in the scream of one person.
Drai cried in pain as the bones of his legs were broken in the clash.
Before he could even blink, he found his neck in Lucifer’s hand. His life force was being sucked out as his body started decaying.
