MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 306: Overpowered



As the fist came crashing down, the air around Lionel tightened, and it looked like the space around him was moving in strange ways.

It seemed like everything was spinning around him.

'This might've been a mistake...' Lionel thought and closed his eyes.

BOOM!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The fist smashed into Lionel's armadillo shell, and the island started to fall even further.

Whatever was keeping it aloft before was desperately trying to stop the island's falling. It seemed to work as the island soon came to the stop, but it had already dropped ten meters from its original spot.

After the dust cloud cleared up, everyone turned their gazes on the spot where the fist landed.

They hoped to see Lionel still standing, but when the dust cleared, the broken pieces of the armadillo shell could be seen scattered around the ground.

Among them, broken limbs, separated from the body, lay in twisted and unnatural positions. The blood was oozing from multiple wounds, staining the dirt a deep crimson red.

Lionel was more than dead. His body got destroyed beyond recognition.

"No..." Adam gritted his teeth. 'His 'Serious' attacks are far more powerful than 'Ordinary' attacks. I didn't expect the difference to be so enormous. If I were at Lionel's place, I would've also died.'

Sepheron collapsed on his knees and coughed out some of the black blood. The sickness was slowly killing him.

"Sorry, boss..."

When he looked ahead, he saw Orion's face smiling back at him. He was trying to say something, but Sepheron couldn't understand a single word coming out of his mouth.

"I can't help you to become the king, after all."

At that moment, Nerezza touched him on the back and injected him with some of the healing magic.

The sickness got slightly suppressed, but it was still looming over him like a shadow of death. "We need you," Nerezza said. "We must make a run for the exit."

Sepheron wiped the blood off his lips and stood back up. "Alright. I'll try to slow him down for a moment."

Nerezza nodded, and she then turned to Adam. "You ready to start running?"

"Yes..." Adam replied, but he didn't stop looking at Rawkshawn.

Standing like a god of the old world, Rawkshawn seemed unfathomable, endless, and utterly terrifying.

'To think that he is the weakest warlord.'

"Now!" Nerezza shouted, breaking Adam's trance, and then grabbed his hand.

"Blue Winter!" Sepheron threw a frozen snowball at Rawkshawn, which ended up cracking against his chest.

The full power of the Blue Winter struck Rawkshawn, but he only shrugged it off as if it were minor inconvenience.

Sepheron also grabbed Adam's hand while ignoring the pounding headache that came from doing another Blue Winter attack.

With Little God's speed and his wings, he took flight and started heading towards the exit as fast as he humanly could.

He also used Gravity Force to make Nerezza and Sepheron lighter.

THUMP! THUMP!

At that moment, the ground started shaking.

When Sepheron turned around, he saw Rawkshawn running after them with a grin on his face.

He didn't look like someone with a runner's physique, but because of his gigantic frame, with each step, he was able to cross a very large distance.

Quickly, Rawkshawn neared them!

Adam saw the steps getting closer and closer. It would only take a couple of seconds for them to reach it!

From his feet, phasing through his boots, small stars flew out and appeared in Rawkshawn's path.

"Strong Force, Star Allignment."

However, Rawkshawn just charged through the stars, and as the stars exploded, he came out of the explosion cloud completely unharmed.

Strong Force's incredibly ability for destruction had zero effect on Rawkshawn!

"He is getting closer!" Nerezza shouted.

"Shit!" Adam swung his arms and threw Nerezza and Sepheron towards the stairs.

They landed on the stairs, rolling a couple of meters before coming to a stop.

After turning around, Adam smashed straight into Rawkshawn's chest and used his wings to slice and slash at his chest, hoping to tear through his skin.

However, it was like Rawkshawn's skin was made out of steel. No single scratch appeared.

"We must go!" Nerezza tugged on Sepheron's sleeve and started running away.

Sepheron quickly followed after him, but then a large shadow fell over them. As they turned to look above them, an enormous hand started falling towards them.

"No!" Adam tried to lift Rawkshawn's arm to stop his attack, but it was to no avail.

"Ordinary Smashing of the Ants!"

Rawkshawn's hand came down on Nerezza and Sepheron, crushing them effortlessly. It was like he was just taking care of some ants he found crawling on his kitchen counter.

When he lifted his hand up, Nerezza and Sepheron were dead on the stairs, their bodies

crushed and lifeless.

Adam's eyes shook, and he collapsed on the ground.

Everyone, except him, was dead.

"I won the game," Rawkshawn chuckled. "You failed to protect them, mister protector."

"Huff, huff..." Adam closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stood back up.

The weight of the failure hung heavily on his shoulders.

At that moment, someone grabbed him on the leg.

He quickly turned around and saw mangled Nerezza grabbing his leg, and as her legs were crushed, she had to crawl the distance to do so.

Rawkshawn's smile froze over. "She survived? Hmph, barely alive. She will die in a couple of seconds."

Adam quickly picked up the Flask of the Rising Moon and the Flask of the Setting Sun from his

inventory.

He crouched in front of Nerezza, wanting to pour them into her mouth, but at that moment,

she picked up a knife from her inventory and started stabbing Adam's leg.

Spurt!

The blood spurted out like a geyser, staining the floor red.

"?!" Adam frowned and watched as she kept stabbing his leg for some strange reason.

"What're you doing?"

"P-please..." Nerezza coughed out black blood. "Die for me, please..."

"Why do you want me dead?"

Nerezza's vision turned hazy.

...

A few days ago in the Blind Sea.

A ship smashed through the tall waves, its black sails billowing in the wind. The crew was frantically moving around, some of them using buckets to dump the water overboard, others

trying to repair the damaged hull.

Sitting on the railing, Nerezza watched as they neared the heart of the storm. There seemed to be some kind of tornado in the middle of the ocean, and they were heading straight towards

it.

The water of the ocean was spiraling around the tornado and heading towards the dark cloud above like a scene from an apocalyptic nightmare.

"You should go indoors, Miss Nerezza." The yellow-haired man said. "It's not safe out here with that storm coming."

"Mm-" Nerezza looked at him and then followed him inside the captain's quarters.

The yellow-haired man put his coat hanging from a hook, took a seat by the captain's chair,

and turned to face Nerezza with his legs crossed.

"What is the mission?" Nerezza asked while looking at the paintings on the wall. "It must be

something important~"

"We need you to kill someone." The yellow-haired man said. "His name is Adam Palestar."

"Oh, why would you need him to die?" Nerezza asked with a chuckle.

"You don't need to know that." The yellow-haired man said. "You shall participate in a

certain mission as Battle Maidens representative. Adam should also be there."

"Does it matter how I kill him?"

"It would be preferable if you do it discreetly." The yellow-haired man said. "From what we've gathered, the mission itself should be easy enough for all of you. Take your

time, try to find Adam alone, and then swiftly finish him off.

"If you succeed, we will help with your imprisonment."

"Alright, it should be easy-" Nerezza grinned like a little child.

...

"I don't know..." Nerezza said in pain and dropped her knife. "Someone wanted you dead..." "Who?" Adam narrowed his eyes. "Nerezza, stay with me. Please tell me."

"I don't know..." Nerezza said, and as Adam was about to offer him the healing flasks, she

pushed them away and said. "Don't wanna..."

Adam put the flasks down and asked. "What can you tell that could help me?"

"A yellow-haired man..." Nerezza coughed out blood. "I think... I think..." "You think what?" Adam hurried with his words as he noticed that she would die in a couple

of seconds!

"Conspiracy...

"You coming here was all planned... Who told you to come here?"

"Zephyr..." Adam frowned.

"You should ask from him..." Nerezza said weakly. "He might know more... I was in the Black

Keep... Only someone very powerful could free me...

"They said... they can free me from my prison in the real world as well... someone influential...

"Someone... like... the King..."

With that, she let out her final breath before collapsing on the ground.

'Like the King?!' Adam frowned and stood back up.

THUMP!

Rawkshawn suddenly sat down on the ground, and it caused the whole island to shake. He

lowered his head so low that he was right in front of Adam, staring at him with his one,

enormous eye. "You don't look like someone who has given up yet. You want to keep fighting?"

"Yes, I do." Adam picked up his sword and pointed it at Rawkshawn's enormous eye. "I don't

think every body part of yours is indestructible. Such as your eyes."

"Haha." Rawkshawn let out a lazy laugh. "Do you know the feeling of being overpowered?"

Adam frowned.

"Haha, silly me, of course you wouldn't." Rawkshawn sat straight and embraced the air

around him.

"There are only a couple of people in the whole New World that are overpowered; I am one of

them.

"Being overpowered is strange feeling. I know that I can win against all of you mercenaries so easily. It feels weightless, as if I am floating.

"I know that with a single punch I can kill all of you. That's why I am always holding back.

Thus, it feels weightless."

Rawkshawn let out a deep sigh and turned to look at Adam. "I really don't want to hold back anymore. I want to fight without holding back!"

Adam looked horrified as the aura of Rawkshawn's powers locked into him. "However, I know that if I stop holding back, you would die in an instant." Rawkshawn sighed. "A dilemma. I don't want to end this fight so soon, but on the other hand, my body is trembling. It wants to release this pent-up strength within me!"
