Chapter 96: The Purple Energy(part 1)
"Illusion; World of chaos" Mystro mutters, and instantly their surroundings begin to change.
It changes into a battleground.
On this battleground, Lugard sees a version of himself fighting off a horde of high-level intelligence monsters such as goblins and orcs.
The monsters are in millions, while Lugard and his minions are less than a thousand.
Right in front of him, his minion's heads are bitten off one by one. The ones he cared for are being killed right in front of him.
His family, friends, his wife, and his current girlfriend.
Lugard clutches his head in pain as his girlfriend whom he cares for is being eaten up by the monsters while his precious siblings are being trampled upon.
All his devoted soldiers are killed right in front of him, staining the battlefield with their blood and the remnants of their bodies.
"Aargh!!!!!!" Lugard falls to his knees and begins to weep.
"Why? Why? Couldn't I save them? Why!!!!!?"
"There is only one way to save them, and spend time with them for eternity." A voice says from behind.
Lugard turns his head and sees Mystro walking toward him, clad in brown beast gears.
"How? H-How will you save them?" Lugard asks, pleading fervently with tears streaming down his eyes.
"Pick up the sword and end your life, only then can you stop the guilt of not being able to protect them. You'll be able to spend a good time with them in paradise and stay with them for all eternity. All you have to do is to pick up the sword."
"And– stab yourself…" Mystro's voice trails down Lugard's ears like silk.
Instantly, Lugard's hands begin to move towards the sword that was stabbed into the floor. Picking up the sword, a smile begins to form on Lugard's face.
Seeing the weird smile and sensing the change in the atmosphere, Mystro leaps back and raises his hands to shield himself from the sword that is now aimed at him.
*CA-CHING*
A loud sound erupts as Mystro takes the full collision of the sword on his beast's gears….
In reality, Mystro isn't wearing any beast gear, rather, he is using a body-hardening skill.
'Fuck! The bastard was able to replicate my skills! Just how much energy does he have?" Mystro curses as he parries all the swift slashes aimed at him.
Coating his hands with the draconic energy, Mystro punches forward and launches his left leg in a circular motion, landing his foot on Lugard's neck and punching the god slayer off his hand.
Staggering backward, Lugard lets go of the god slayer and snaps his fingers.
Instantly, the battlefield begins to crumble and the scenery begins to change, and then, they are back in front of the guild.
Lugard and Mystro are now opposite each other, monitoring each other's movements.
"You know, you are quite strong and have different abilities just like me, we don't have to fight each other. If you wanted my wife, you could have just walked up to me and asked, it would have only cost you a few gold coins, rather than you attacking me with a killing intent." Lugard mutters, hoping that he could strike a deal with Mystro.
"Well, the little one doesn't wish to spare you. He'll never forgive me if I let you live. You may be capable of reciprocating my abilities, however, you are nothing but a bug when I'm at my peak.
Even with this body, you are still a bug!" Mystro says in a low voice, gripping the god slayer tightly in his hand.
"Well, you leave me no choice now" Lugard replies, and instantly blood begins to drip out of people's noses and ears, drifting toward Lugard who is now combining all the blood and using it to form a floating blood sphere.
Mystro could also feel a tingling sensation in his body like his blood is waging a war against him. But he controlled the situation effortlessly. However, he could see that Lugard's girlfriend, Aurora, has long since passed out after losing a lot of blood.
'T-This man is crazy and selfish. He hurts his so-called girlfriend without remorse just because he wants to deal with me. He's a varmint who is supposed to be wiped away from the surface of this planet.' Mystro mutters and suddenly, something begins to happen to his body.
Mystro takes a strange stance, balancing his right foot on the floor while his left foot is slightly raised like he's tiptoeing on it.
'Just one strike, only one strike, because I don't think this body can handle this much energy.' Mystro thought inwardly.
Abruptly, purple-like flames begin to dance around Mystro's body and also swirls around the sword in his hands.
Lugard, who is also forming something like a cannon with the blood, is slightly stunned by the strange but familiar energy surrounding Mystro.
"He's from the Azure Dragon Clan, b-but why is he persistent in killing me? I have to finish him before they know about this." Lugard mumbles
The object he's making is already complete and it seems to be a cannon made out of the blood sphere.
Using blood assimilation, Lugard can make almost anything out blood as long as he has enough blood at his disposal.
Mystro is also ready with whatever he was doing, as his body and sword are now covered with purple flames…
The sword also has some weird lightings where the runes are carved.
BOOM!
Lugard fires the blood cannon, resulting in a huge blood ball being launched at Mystro.
In return, Mystro swiftly swings the god slayer, and then, a purple, circular arc shoots out from the sword, destroying Lugard's blood ball.
Sensing the situation, Lugard's face turns pale as he uses the blood cannon to shield himself.
However, he was in for a horrible surprise…
The sword aura cut through the blood cannon like tofu and without stopping, it continues to move forward, slashing off both of Lugard's arms before vanishing after flying a few meters away.
Right now, Lugard's shoulders are squirting out blood non-stop with his arms wriggling on the floor and his face showing a look of disbelief and regret.
"Just kill me now, what are you waiting for!!?" Lugard shouts and spits at Mystro.
Mystro simply wipes off the saliva and replies with a strange smile on his face.
"I won't kill you so easily, I'll watch you break down before you die," Mystro says, glancing at Aurora who is currently lying down on the floor unconscious.
"Don't!.... Don't do anything to her, you bastard!!! Please don't touch her!!!! Please, I'm begging you!!! I'll do anything you want!! I'll give you all my money" Lugard cries out, banging his head on the floor and hoping that Mystro will change his mind.
'Mmm, looks like this kid struck a gold mine, Fufufu…..'
"How about you unlock and give me all the contents inside your space ring? And in return, I won't do anything to her…" Mystro says, as he walks towards Lugard's chopped-off arms.
