SWNOVELS
Chapter 401 Anger Obliterated; Fight
Anger couldn't dodge nor block, so Panixu delivered the attack and continued to punch through Anger's stomach without letting go of the tension.
"Arrgh!" Anger exclaimed attempting to swipe at Panixu with his hands, but his fingers simply flicked off of Panixu's body.
"You are nothing but an emotion. You were destined to lose from the beginning of this battle." Panixu grumbled under his breath in a more serious tone.
His punch stopped driving forward. Then, after a short pause, he unleashed a flurry of the same punches into Anger's stomach.
Each punch sent shock waves through Anger's stomach that destroyed pieces of cave-rock behind him.
Each punch sent reverberating blows through the entire cavern as well, as if explosions went off each time Panixu landed a blow on Anger.
"Ackk!" Anger lost the ability to control his body. His eyes widened, his face shifted into one of shock.
'I wasn't... meant to die here.' Anger thought to himself, as Panixu delivered the final blow to his skull.
A blow stronger than the rest of them, since Panixu used all of his strength in this one. free(w)eb
Anger's skull cracked into several pieces and his head whipped back, breaking his spine as well.
His body was launched across the room, the same way Lyrian's was when Anger first attacked him.
This time, however, Anger didn't get up--unlike Lyrian. Panixu took in a deep and loud breath before exhaling.
He slammed his fist into his palm, before calmly disappearing into Lyrian's shadow.
Without hesitation, Lyrian rushed toward the other side of the cavern.
"The clanging of iron resounded through the cave. Osikae and Sadness were still going at it with full force."
Through their exchanges, however, one could easily tell that Osikae was the one on the back foot.
His body was already injured--cut open in several areas. One of his eyelids hung lower than the other as a sign of his fatigue.
The two clashed in a powerful duet of attacks before backing away from each other for a moment.
As Osikae panted he mused, 'This form won't last much longer. If Lord Lyrian won't arrive in time, then I need to kill this bastard myself.'
With that he ran at Sadness with a quick series of steps, swinging and slashing his sword at his opponent.
Sadness was too quick, however. He jumped backward as Osikae chased him with the blade, dodging and parrying all of the man's attacks.
"Why won't you just die already? Why do you fight..."
Osikae stayed silent. 'There's no point in engaging in conversation with such a foolish monster.'
"Tell me... what is it you desire? I've been searching for it. The thing that makes people want to do things. What does it feel like?"
Osikae clenched his jaw, adamant about staying silent as he continued to fight.
"Hmm... if that's the case, then I'll go serious now. I was toying with you up until this point, but you've made me upset. Prepare to die--"
At that moment, Sadness felt as though his heart skipped a beat. With widened eyes, his head quickly turned around to face the other side of the cavern.
"W-what!?" Sadness exclaimed in shock.
Osikae raised an eyebrow, 'Hmm? What is he suddenly shocked about? Well... no matter. This is a perfect opportunity for me!' He thought to himself.
Without hesitation, he quickly rushed toward Sadness. 'Good! His head is still turned!' Osikae thought to himself.
'But...' A thought crossed his mind as his blade came mere inches from Sadness' neck.
At that moment, Sadness turned around instantly. His finger blades gripped Osikae's sword as he faced the swordsman.
Osikae finally got a look at Sadness' face, and it was enough to completely throw him off.
Sadness was crying again for some reason. Streams of tears trickled down his somber looked face.
"He's dead... he's actually dead. B-but... how could this be? He was stronger than even me."
'As I thought... killing him then would be too easy.' Osikae thought as he backed off.
"Wait... if he's dead, then does that mean someone here is strong enough to kill me? I... don't want to die. I DON'T WANT TO DIE!" Sadness suddenly exclaimed, as though desperate.
"Please! You have to help me! If not... I'll kill you..." The blue man said with a nonchalant tone beneath his swollen eyes.
At that moment Sadness released a more fearsome aura than before. Its life was in danger now, so it naturally wouldn't hold back no matter what.
This was what some called fight or flight, and at that moment, Sadness chose to fight.
He blitzed toward Osikae at an unseen speed. Osikae couldn't react fast enough to the several razors that lunged toward his face. contemporary romance
At that moment, his eyes wandered off to the side. 'Please... Lord Lyrian.' He thought to himself as he gasped accidentally.
However... there was no sign of Lyrian behind Sadness.
Osikae then closed his eyes, 'I must make peace.' He thought to himself, fully expecting to die.
As the blades of Sadness' hand grazed Osikae's skin, there was suddenly a loud boom that sounded from where Sadness stood.
Osikae opened his eyes to see that he was sent flying in another direction. However, he had a smile on his face.
This was because he also saw Lyrian standing behind Sadness--having sliced the blue bastard's arm clean off.
'I see... I can rest now.' Osikae mused, closing his eyes once again.
Sadness' face, filled with horror, turned toward Lyrian with utter doom shadowed on it.
"Y-you... cut my arm off." Sadness said slowly, not believing it himself.
"YOU!" He breathed heavy, wheezing breaths as he spoke, "YOU CUT MY ARM OFF!" The pain that Sadness felt now was unlike anything that he had ever felt since his birth, merely a year ago.
At that moment, with Lyrian's cold eyes facing him, Tao suddenly emerged from the ceiling and tore through another arm.
