[Revive Token used since host is dead!]
[Stark has been revived!]
Stark instantly opened his eyes, his body hurting all over.
"Fucking hell…" he slowly got up, sitting on the ground as he observed ahead and held his head as it felt like it was splitting in two.
Even though he was revived, in comparison to the one of the [Chosen One] talent which didn't hurt one bit, getting revived by the [Revive Token] was actually quite painful.
mories of everything that happened so far went through his head: the warden's act, his sudden transformation and calm deanor, then the fact Stark saved Sora by taking in the chain instead of her since he needed her to defeat the boss.
"…" the more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and the darker the vortex in his eyes beca.
He played all those monts in slow motion in his head, over and over and over… until he was tired of seeing them.
His entire body was surrounded by crimson and holy aura now, an aura so powerful even the warden would fear it.
"…=)," and… Stark smiled, "Alright…"
He tried to stand up, but his legs actually gave out before he could, aning that being revived is actually much more of a hassle than he thought since his body still needed to adapt after LITERALLY dying.
And so… all Stark did was watch the fight between Sora and Warden, his piercing eyes on them.
"…?"
"…"
The two felt a shivering sensation on their backs, but were too busy fighting to actually look back: what would there even be there, Stark had died after all, so what was the point.
"Prisoner Chain," Warden lifted his right arm again while blocking yet another [Elents of Nature] attack using his harem, truly showcasing that he could have done that since the beginning by simply tanking the energy balls created from the flowers Sora summoned.
For the second ti, a chain ca out of the tal ceiling and rushed toward Sora's neck.
[Behind you…], but the white flower that whispering in her ears already inford her now that she was fully aware of her surroundings.
"EVERGREEN RESILIENCE," Sora focused on her skill, and the ground underneath her began to radiate with a vibrant green aura.
Her surroundings in a ten ters radius suddenly grew green grass on the ground, aning that Warden was actively walking on it.
~SNAP~
One of the blades of grass moving slowly to the rhythm of the wind suddenly grew, becoming extrely sharp as it deflected the chain.
And then… without notice…
~SLASH, SLASH, SLASH~
A dozen more of these blades grew and rushed at Warden to pierce him.
"Oh…?" he was actually surprised, the reason… well… it was because it was actually impossible for him to avoid this attack.
~SLASH, SLASH~
The blades of grass all pierced his body, and one of them managed to actually slightly crack his armor, it was a [Legendary] skill after all.
"-4727! -3839! -4221!"
.
.
"-42819!" by the end, she actually managed to deal good damage, although that wasn't enough to even make the warden budge.
"Alright, ti to end this," the big boss sighed as he used one of his hands to grab the [Sculk Necklace] around his neck.
And then…
"ULTRASOUND AURA," the room suddenly reverberated with a deafening sound, and a powerful wave of energy erupted from Warden's body.
Blue rings ca out of the necklace and rushed toward Sora, who couldn't avoid them because of the noise.
"Akh…" her head hurt like hell when the rings hit her, and she had a hard ti using her own aura while holding her head…
In the midst of the chaos, Sora felt her body being pushed back by an unseen force, struggling to stand against the overwhelming power.
And while she was busy trying to regain control…
"Hamr Slam," Warden closed in the distance in a re instant and swung his hamr sideways at her, reaching her sides before she could even realize it.
'…!' while holding on as to not faint because of the sound waves of [Ultrasound Aura], Sora only managed to see the hamr once it was re centiters away from hitting her.
And then…
~SLASH~
[Evergreen Resilience] was still active around her, and with her last willpower, she summoned a dozen blades of grass to minimize the impact of the hamr attack.
~BOOM~
The [Hamr Slam] obviously destroyed the blades of grass, but they were actually successful in blocking it slightly, since when it actually reached Sora…
~SLAM~
"-51362!" without that, she would have definitely died.
[Sora HP: 4476/84000]
Still, the impact was so strong she was sent dozens of ters away, slamming into one of the walls of floor 0.
"…" blood was pouring out from her nose, mouth, head: her entire body was in bad shape.
~SWISH~
And as to plunge her into even more despair, the warden closed in the distance and arrived right in front of her as she got up and placed her body against the bloodied wall, her head staring at the ceiling above and her eyes drowsy from the blood tears.
"He… gave… … a chance…" Sora didn't know how could this end like this.
She was always confident in her abilities, even more so Akira, and there was absolutely no doubt that she was way stronger than he was.
And yet… in front of this boss… they all seed like bugs.
Was this why the "mastermind" of the domination trials wanted them to kill each other? Was this why one of the perks specifically asked for only "three" to remain alive?
Maybe it was because… even if three or five people fought the warden, they would have still lost.
This trial was from the [Death] difficulty, she knew very well that it was the hardest one and that no one had ever completed a trial from this category, her previous being a [Godless-Level] trial.
But… she didn't know just how bad the difference in difficulty would be
Maybe those first levels were actually to deceive them into thinking it would be easier than they thought or that they were actually strong…
And yet… before THAT thing… they were nothing.
"Are these your final words?" the warden shook his head, the sculk on his body taking over his armor, arms, and hamr as he lifted it up, ready to smash Sora.
"He… gave… … one last chance… to show my powers… and to win…" she repeated as she used her final strength to use one more skill.
"Regenerative Drop…" her head tilted to the side, and she was losing consciousness more and more.
A flower ca out from beside Sora and grew into a magnificent purple lavender, its tip standing right above Sora's head and actually facing her head from above.
…
[Skill: Regenerative Drop]
[Rank: Legendary]
[Description: Summons a lavender that will, after thirty seconds, create a single purple drop that will regenerate 50000HP and heal all status effects, plus replenishes stamina]
[Flaw: if soone stops the lavender from growing, then the skill won't work]
…
This was her final chance, her last hope, and if it doesn't work, if the warden sohow manages to still defeat her afterward… then it would truly be over, and she would join Stark and all the others.
