MIGHT AS WELL BE OP

Chapter 52: Ross



Ross immediately took a defensive stance immediately he opened his eyes as he was in an unknown environment.

He seemed to have arrived in what seemed to be a graveyard as he saw slabs everywhere and no sign of life here.

He walked around, feeling suspicious of everything as something could come out of the ground.

He held tightly on the sabre sheath hanging on his waist ready to draw his weapon at a moments notice if he saw anything out of place

Strike first, ask questions later, that was his approach for now until he makes out wherever he is right now.

After walking for a while nothing seemed to happen, as he thought he would be attacked by now but nothing happened.

He walked up to a slab and casually kicked it, shattering it to pieces to see if he would get some sort of reaction, but got none at all.

After some time without anything happening, Ross unconsciously dropped his guard.

Immediately he did, two hand popped out of the ground and held on his ankles to pull him in.

Ross acted as soon as possible, coated himself with lightning and moved out of the way before he could be dragged down.

The ground quaked a little as hands made of bones started popping out of the ground one by one and appeared everywhere.

They all stood up looking at Ross with a small flicker of fire burning in their eye sockets.

Ross heard sounds of a horse from afar and turned his head in that direction.

There he saw a being sitting on a horse, covered in pitch black amour with flames seeping out of its helmet with a sword hanging on it's waist and a cape flickering on it's back as it rode the horse.

Behind the being on a horse was another, wearing a tattered robe and sitting on a throne made of bones which floated and moved on it's own with a scythe sitting on it's lap.

As they arrived, the being on the horse got down and walked to the other sitting on the throne and knelt on one knee with it's sword sticking into the ground as a sign of loyalty.

Ross looked at these two as they made an entrance like this was a ceremony or something.

Both beings were Death knight and a Lich.

"Let the game begin" said the Lich on the throne in a bored voice.

As the words dropped, all skeletons started running towards him from all sides.

Ross squinted his eyes, then raised his hands sideways which were covered in thick lightning and punched out in both directions.

***Booomm****Crackle***

Lightning bolts destroyed the entire graveyard and skeletons before they could even reach him and make an attack, charring them to crisp.

Ross wasn't a fool, with the way they arrived and made an entrance, clearly this wasn't the skeleton first rodeo.

The small skeletons from the ground were simply cannon fodder for him to fight and entertain the Lich and to slowly deplete his stamina even if it won't be much.

That's why Ross decided to flatten everything as he won't be performing anything for anyone today.

Ross moved with high speed and took the skulls of the cannon fodders.

He then turned to the Lich and said

"If you really want a show or concert you should pay for it you know"

If the Lich could display facial expressions, it would definitely be shocked, as others (the students) usually fight his minions then run away using their 'life ball' to escape.

Even if the students survived after fighting it's minions, they still remain tired, with little to no stamina left or even much mana remaining.

After exchanging blows with him and see they can't win, they just teleport with their 'life ball'

This was why it was bored and only watched the students as shows, as they would run away eventually.

Even if he could kill them before they could activate the 'life ball', they could still mysteriously teleport away.

"Death knight, you take this one" said the Lich with bright eyes this time, ready to see what Ross held in place for it to see this time around.

The Death knight walked with a sense of responsibility, radiating an intimidating aura.

But alas it was still another monster at the A rank no matter how it carried itself.

Ross wanted to cross swords with it, but he just gave up on the thought of wasting time while others gathered points.

He shook his head and arrived infront of the death knight, placing his hand on it's shoulder and ran thick lightning throughout it's body.

The Death knight which was pure black and gave off aura of death glowed white for a few seconds before the bright light calmed down showing the death knight has been reduced to nothing, not even the bones were spared as only the skull that was still releasing faint aura was remain, as Ross left that aside so he could take it back for points.

Ross looked at the Lich and said

"You might as well make you move, this might work on others, but not me, I'm kinda of in a hurry right now as there are only nine spots"

He didn't even wait for the Lich to reply and simply blurred as he appeared Infront of it and threw a punch at it's skull.

The Lich blocked using the handle of his scythe with ease.

It looked at Ross with burning flames in it's eye socket and said

"Don't compare me to those necromancer who are nothing but empty husk without their soldier and minions, that's a stain on my name, human"

As soon as the Lich finished speaking it twisted it's sycthe and tried to harvest Ross's head.

Ross ducked and moved back a couple meters back.

The Lich moved from it's boney throne with deafening speed which even shattered it's throne as it moved towards Ross and slashed out in a semi-circular motion with darkness element coated on it's weapon

Ross snorted and unsheathed his sabre and covered it in lightning as they both clashed.

******BOOOOOOOM******

Terrifying Darkness and Lightning attacks tore down everything blocking their path to dominance, cleaves and slash mark could be seen on the ground.

They both created multiple sag on the ground as they moved attacking each other, trying to get the upper hand.

The more they moved the more the flames in the eye sockets of the Lich burned brighter and brighter.

It had been bored for too long, although the Lich technically could live for a very long time if their souls were safe, as immortality was the only thing they chased.

But this particular Lich has simply grown tired and bored as it was restricted to this particular graveyard as it had explored everything it could explore.

The students that came once in a while was the only source of entertainment, but they weren't really entertaining.

In the secret realm everything is divided into different sectors and everyone is bound to their area without any hope of breaking out.

This was why most monsters here who have reached S rank were bored as they had explored their area but couldn't leave at all and were restricted there, some simply slept it off, some couldn't.

If the barrier restricting each section didn't exist, the secret realm would have been turned into a war zone as each sector vying for supremacy with demons spreading their corruption everywhere.

As they battled even Ross was smiling as he swung his sabre and parried all strikes sent towards him with flawless motion.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, Human give me more, more, this would be a battle of my life" the Lich said as it continued attacking in ecstacy.

The Lich changed stance instantly as it finished speaking.

It raised it's scythe upwards and gathered an absurd amount of mana together with the darkness element on to the scythe.

[Death Technique: Scythe Of Hell]

Ross also followed in it's footsteps by changing his stance, placing his sabre near his waist gathering mana and thick lightning flowing through the sabre in preparation for a swing.

[Ross Technique: Lightning Sabre Series: Fallen Dawn]

They both moved totally in sync, the Lich brought down it's scythe to rain hell here.

Ross brandished his sabre upwards to meet the falling scythe.

***Boooom** Craccklee***brrzzz**hizzz*****

Ruinous sounds of explosion and blast resounded everywhere like an echo but it wasn't an echo.

Both elements ran amok without mercy of any sort, totally displaying the reason why they are referred to as part of the rare element.

The entire graveyard sector shook as sinkholes appeared everywhere in the area.

Sinkhole appeared under Ross and the Lich's feet but none moved as they used their element to hold themselves in place as if whoever moved first would lose.

Ross was about to display another technique as he was simply enjoying this fight that boardered the SS- rank, even suprised that the Lich could unleash such attacks.

He wanted to display his own technique back to the Lich in other to see what the skeleton would send back to him in response.

They were both literally enjoying themselves without any care of what happened after this.

As Ross was about to release his next attack, the fire in the Lich eye socket suddenly went out as it became nothing but bones and fell to the ground with a *clatter*

Ross was stunned that the Lich suddenly stopped and turned to bones as they reached the climax of their battle.

He wondered if this was a trick or tactic prepared by the lich.

How could Ross know that the Lich stored it's soul in a phylactery which was hidden somewhere in the graveyard sector.

But the result of their clash simply destroyed everything and everywhere, including the location of the phylactery, thereby snuffing out the soul and killing the Lich.

After waiting for a while and nothing happened, Ross just took the Lich's bones and left as he didn't have too much time on his hands, he had to move and look for the next target.
