The Gamer's System

Chapter 165: All of Zeke's Skills

There was one thing which Zeke was sure about. On Mythos, job classes were limited. In fact, there was only a limited number of jobs based also on the race of a person. As Humans were scarce in these lands, they had the most underwhelming number of job classes. Indeed, Zeke has already gone through all the history books. All the instruction materials. Even some of the [Ancient Text]. But none of them ever mentioned about [Conjurers].

Thus, there was only one explanation which Zeke could come up with. One was rationally made by his deductive skills and the [Gamer's Mind]. 

Z was him. Rather, the enemy used his real body. Constructed using Gallio's blood. So much so that, the king's skills were also infused on it.

"Okay. I think this is all the explanation I need." Zeke said, preparing his fight against one thousand [Conjured] monsters and soldiers.

"Surrendering is not an option anymore. I will make sure to give you the most painful death possible. That is, after my king has done interrogating you." Z said, proud of his summons which only had light blue flames on them. Entailing that they weren't as strong as Zeke's [Conjures].

"Plus, there was something else which Zeke knew. Summoning conjures required mana, and to summon a thousand would take a person all of his reserves. Yet, his opponent still had an overflowing amount of mana. In fact, Z used the skill two more times. Creating 3,000 [Conjures] for Zeke to fight.

"Now suffer." Z said, with all his monsters coming for the gamer. Yet, there was only a smile on Zeke's face as he used the same move.

"Conjure."

"What? How can this be possible?" Z said, getting the same sensation as when he himself used the skill. 

There was black mist forming all around them. The air turned underworldly cold. With blue flames rising from the ground. Then, three of the 12 [Conjured] knights of the round table came out.

Arthur.

Mordred.

Gawain.

Zeke only summoned these to the scene. Although already undead, the knights were more than thrilled on the number of enemies around them. They were just about to run out of enemies to fight. So, being sent to an area with thousands to slay exhilarated them. Gaining the same bloodthirsty crimson glow of their owner's eyes.

"HAHAHAHAAH! And here I thought you were actually going to summon as many as I have." The count said, entertained by the display. To him, it was nothing more than a puny party trick. One which any of the normal summoners on Elysium could perform.

"This is the biggest and stupidest bluff I've seen in my life! What are your creatures going to do against my monster?" He continued, roaring in laughter.

"Kill them my army of thousands!" Z ordered, with his army of [Conjures] coming in for the kill.

Meanwhile, Zeke simply looked at Arthur who nodded at its master. The creature took off its great sword, strapped on its back. The weapon began burning in the same color as the [Chaos Black Flames]. Arthur stabbed the ground with his weapon, digging up the earth which immediately spread [Chaos Flames] around the area.

This damaged the [Conjures] created by Z which immediately got taken down. Their numbers quickly decreased as the flames only continued burning stronger. When the attack ended, Z was unable to muster any strength for words.

"Now there's only a thousand." Zeke said, receiving the fury of the Count who [Conjured] even more while going in to attack Zeke.

The gamer was sent flying to a weaponry area. He got up and shot bullets at the count which were only dodge.

Z then continued releasing an onslaught of [Decimating Slashes] more powerful than before. With [Ultimate Berserker] active, the attack reached its peak power. Zeke dodged all of this by running around the area. He then released a fire spell which immediately melted all the ice. Steam rose as a result, clouding the vision of the king.

"Here." Zeke said, appearing right in front of the count.

The gamer had a punch about to land. Z was about to counter this using his sword to slice Zeke's arm yet, the gamer simply used [Shadow Dive] reappearing at the enemy's back. Zeke's attack landed a clean hit yet, the [Count] was only moved a few centimeters by the attack.

"Ahh I knew it wouldn't be enough." Zeke said, receiving a quick retaliation as the count used his elbow to hit Zeke. 

The gamer found himself on another destroyed building. Getting up from the blow which sent him there. Then, Zeke heard the sound of wind seemingly getting ripped. Out of the steam came more [Decimating Slashes]. Zeke jumped up only to find the count waiting for him there and punching him down. The blow was so strong that a crater was formed just by the force of it.

The combination didn't end here as more [Decimating Slashes] came raining down. This time, Z knew that he dealt some damage to his enemy. Ending it with the sky darkening in color as he called forth all the lightning on the heavens. Activating a skill as he uttered:

"Storm Dragon's Roar!"

The attack was so quick that, it would take an insane amount of reaction speed to dodge it. In fact, never was it known that the attack could be dodged. But the count also knew that his enemy wasn't normal so he got down immediately to inspect. 

There, Zeke was kneeling as his body was beaten half to death. There were burns all over and, one would not expect much from it anymore. The count however, showed no mercy as he punched the gamer on the face. Zeke met the dirt quickly as it dug a kilometer's worth of length because of the blow's force.

"You think you're such a hot shot? Think you can beat me?"

"No. Please, I only wanted to know who you actually were." Zeke said, limping on the ground as he tried getting away.

"Nobody can beat me! I am the strongest!" His enemy continued, creating two slashes which destroyed the limbs of his enemy entirely.

"AHHH!" Zeke screamed, with blood coming out like a torrent from his body.

"Please. I don't want to die." The gamer continued, crying like a bullied child.

"Ahh. But you are about to die now." Z continued, standing just in front of his prey. There was no retaliation anymore. He knew that the battle was already won and so, he decided to give his victim what was wished for.

"Fine, I shall tell you who I really am."

"Really?" Zeke said, shivering.

"But all of that can only be found under my stronghold. Unfortunately, you won't ever each it! HAHAHAHA!" Z continued, preparing for the final strike. 

But then, Zeke smiled. 

The count could hear his own laughter resonating on the whole area. Then he noticed something peculiar. The steam was still there. The same steam which was created by his enemy didn't disappear ta all. 

"DIE!" He said, decapitating his enemy as he breathed heavily.

"NOBODY MOCK'S THE ZEKE ELWOOD!" The doppelganger proclaimed.

Then, the corpse stood up. Holding its head and continuing to laugh as the other body parts stood beside the chopped-up Zeke. These then began creating their own body parts which soon turned into complete copies of the gamer.

"How"

"I think its time for me to end this beautiful dream of yours." Zeke said, dispersing the steam which shocked the count even more.

He found himself in the middle of the battlefield where his [Conjures] were supposed to be. Yet there were no traces of his summons anywhere. The only ones that stood there were Zeke's three knights, with dark red lines appearing allover their bodies Symbolizing that they've gone and entered [Undying Loyalty] and [Undying Fury].

The creatures then fixed their sights on the [Count]. The fighting only lasted a couple of minutes as Z was still disoriented from everything that as happening around him. 

He didn't know that; the steam was actually infused with [Cloud of Dreams]. This same trick allowed Zeke to make his opponent hallucinate. With the Count imagining that he was fighting and winning against Zeke. When, in fact, the gamer was only watching the whole thing as he controlled the hallucinations of his opponent.

He needed to extract every bit of information possible from his enemy. Unfortunately, he also knew that this same enemy has his loyalty set to Glade. That was the only explanation on how he climbed the ranks while also having such an immense amount of power. 

Thus, Zeke resorted to making it look like he lost. He made it look like he was a pitiable opponent who couldn't handle his own against the "greatest count". He enjoyed every part of it, especially because Z was as cocky as Gallio. Yet it also annoyed him a bit because that same cockiness was placed on his body. 

Zeke's [Conjures] also finished the fight in a matter of minutes. And, as soon as Zeke got the answers he needed, he finally dispersed the skill. Allowing Z to be brought back to reality. At the moment, that same reality proved to be terrifying as the three knights completely destroyed the count.

No matter what Z did, they didn't go down. In fact, they only continued attacking and beating him up. Placing wounds after wounds until, Z was in the same position as Zeke's illusion. With both arms amputated and his legs limping. 

"No, this can't be. I am the strongest!" Z said.

"Arrogant bastards like you always blabber unnecessary stuff into the fight. It's distasteful with my face plastered on top of yours." Zeke continued, shattering all spells which Z was trying to chant.

"No. It can't end like this!" He said with his heart getting stabbed through by Zeke's blade.

"What do you know. He actually had one." Zeke said, seeing his enemy finally die. 

Or so he thought. 

The quest reward for the [Key] was still not showing. He then came back to look at his enemy who was gathering so much dark mana that, there was none usable for Zeke anymore. 

He knew what was happening quite well. He was the first one to use it before. A skill which he was supposed to use against Gallio as a trump card. 

Yes. At that moment. Z activated [The One Who Cheats Death].
