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

"Wow, that was crazy. To kill all my undeads and still have stamina left? I an, 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," Nesis 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 ti. 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.

Nesis 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 soone. Dual Blade. That was my way of getting justice for him," Nesis said.

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

"What? You're giving up? That is rather anti-climactic if you ask . 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?" Nesis 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 ntal strain to it. Guess it's going to be a difficult final against Abyss, Kyle thought. Although sad, he had already believed Nesis had lost the battle, which is why he was surprised when Nesis talked about not having the interest to surrender.

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

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

"Dragon's breath," he said, opening his mouth and spewing hot flas. The flas were imnse, 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 Nesis to escape the flas, but it was useless. The fire spread like a ring, with Nesis at the center. This was Nesis using dragon tongue to control the flas. 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 ti, 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: Nesis of Dark Star Guild]

[Congratulations on advancing to the final]

The system announced Nesis'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 Nesis, congratulating him.

"Drop it. For soone trying so hard to kill , it's annoying to see you acting all friendly. See you in the final round," Nesis 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 Nesis.

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

"That sort of power… hahaha, I guess my ti in this ga won't be as lonely as I thought. That was one brilliant battle, if I must say," Abyss said, speaking toward Nesis. "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 ?" 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. Punishnt will be given to defaulters.]

The system warned both players preparing to fight.

"Lucky lady," Abyss muttered, returning to his seat. Scarlett did the sa. Nesis remained unmoved, sitting calmly like soone oblivious to the impending fight.

Kyle, though, continued smiling. Hmm, she's quite protective of Nesis. 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 Nesis 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 soone who would backstab others," Abyss advised Nesis, his eyes fixed on both players standing in the arena.

"And how would you know that he's dangerous?" Nesis asked, amused at Abyss's spot-on assessnt—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 soone has malicious intent toward or soone else. An instinct I developed after getting backstabbed. Like you—despite our fight, you never had any malicious thoughts toward . Truly surprising, if I must say."
