Ex rank talent Awakening: 100\% Dodge rate-Chapter 45 - : NEMESIS VS ABYSS II

"Wow, that was crazy. To kill all my undeads and still have stamina left? I mean, they were in their hundreds. How did you not get tired?" Abyss asked, curious about the answer.

"It's easy. I'm a god. My stats cannot be compared to mortals," Nemesis said apathetically.

"Wow, saying cool things in an aloof way. How cool," Abyss muttered.

"But you see, that's not the end of it. I don't believe that if you face all my undeads again, you won't get tired. Rise from your slumber!" Abyss said, and the undeads all rose again.

Well, Abyss wasn't going to share his secret on how he could resurrect his undead a second time. It was actually part of his talent—an active talent that could only be used once a day. Life Force Transfer.

It was a talent that required consuming ninety percent of his HP to resummon his undead. But if he used this skill, he wouldn't be able to use the skill he had used against Shadow—the one that allowed him to resurrect once after death. Being the King of the Undead, that skill also had a cooldown of one day. When one of either skill activated, the other went on cooldown too, just like the activated one.

Nemesis stared at the undeads that were back.

"You know, Abyss, I decided to kill your undeads one by one not because that was the only way I could do it. No, rather, it was because of someone. Dual Blade. That was my way of getting justice for him," Nemesis said.

"Now that justice is out of the way, I do not wish to waste any more time playing with your excuse of an undead," Nemesis added, keeping his sword in his inventory.

"What? You're giving up? That is rather anti-climactic if you ask me. Thought you would fight till your last breath. Well, surrendering is better than embarrassing yourself," Abyss said, a victorious smile on his face.

"Who said anything about surrendering?" Nemesis asked, a curious look on his face.

"If you don't wish to surrender, then what? How do you plan to face my undead?" Abyss asked.

Kyle couldn't help but look at Abyss. He is a tough opponent to face, I must admit. I will probably get drained of stamina before I can take them all out, adding mental strain to it. Guess it's going to be a difficult final against Abyss, Kyle thought. Although sad, he had already believed Nemesis had lost the battle, which is why he was surprised when Nemesis talked about not having the interest to surrender.

"What exactly do you plan to do?" Abyss asked.

"Quite simple—burn them all alongside you," Nemesis said frankly.

"Dragon's breath," he said, opening his mouth and spewing hot flames. The flames were immense, consuming every undead in their path and burning them to a crisp after causing continuous damage and emptying their HP. The undead couldn't fight back, attempting to go behind Nemesis to escape the flames, but it was useless. The fire spread like a ring, with Nemesis at the center. This was Nemesis using dragon tongue to control the flames. Soon, all the undead, as well as Abyss, were burned to a crisp—a scene shocking to everyone watching.

Kyle couldn't help but frown for the first time, seeing the devastating nature of the attack as well as its range. That attack might cause a lot of problems, he thought to himself. Scarlett, of course, noticed the frown on Kyle's face.

[Winner of this round: Nemesis of Dark Star Guild]

[Congratulations on advancing to the final]

The system announced Nemesis's victory before teleporting him to the spectator area designated for the four remaining players.

"Congratulations on your win! That was a beautiful fight. Your last skill, though, that was really powerful—like, super powerful. Thought you were a swordsman, but I guess I was wrong. Or am I not?" Kyle walked over to Nemesis, congratulating him.

"Drop it. For someone trying so hard to kill me, it's annoying to see you acting all friendly. See you in the final round," Nemesis replied coldly.

"Kill you? I have no idea what you're talking about. I feel like you have the wrong guy, honestly. I'm innocent," Kyle said innocently, still smiling at Nemesis.

Abyss, though, sat on his seat, smiling brightly—for someone who had just lost.

"That sort of power… hahaha, I guess my time in this game won't be as lonely as I thought. That was one brilliant battle, if I must say," Abyss said, speaking toward Nemesis. "I really want to make you into my undead so badly. What do you say? I'll make you my second-in-command?" Abyss asked.

"Say that after actually landing a hit on him," Scarlett replied to Abyss.

"And who the hell do you think you are to be talking to me?" Abyss asked Scarlett, the smile on his face freezing into a frown.

"The person that will destroy you if you keep saying stupid stuff," Scarlett said, ready to attack Abyss.

Abyss, smiling, stood up as well—not planning to back down. The atmosphere grew tense.

[Players are unable to fight one another while in the spectators' stand. Punishment will be given to defaulters.]

The system warned both players preparing to fight.

"Lucky lady," Abyss muttered, returning to his seat. Scarlett did the same. Nemesis remained unmoved, sitting calmly like someone oblivious to the impending fight.

Kyle, though, continued smiling. Hmm, she's quite protective of Nemesis. Are they lovers by any chance? That would make things interesting if they really are, Kyle thought, finding the idea of a relationship between Scarlett and Nemesis fascinating.

[Scarlett of Rose Guild vs. Kyle of Golden Lion Guild]

[Both players are to prepare for their match-up.]

"Guess it's our turn. I hope we both put up a good fight, and may the best man win—or player, I guess," Kyle said, smiling.

Kyle and Scarlett were teleported to the arena, courtesy of the system—the last round of the semifinals was about to begin.

"That Kyle… I don't get a good vibe from him, and I feel like he's after you and the other lady—Scarlett, was it? You should be careful of him. He seems like someone who would backstab others," Abyss advised Nemesis, his eyes fixed on both players standing in the arena.

"And how would you know that he's dangerous?" Nemesis asked, amused at Abyss's spot-on assessment—Kyle's betrayal was a hard one to spot due to his perfect acting. There was a reason he had been fooled throughout his years with Kyle in his last life.

"Let's just say I have a way of knowing when someone has malicious intent toward me or someone else. An instinct I developed after getting backstabbed. Like you—despite our fight, you never had any malicious thoughts toward me. Truly surprising, if I must say."
