Forsaken in a Dying World

Chapter 11: Golden Duel



As Kai stood staring at the skeleton which was walking towards kai,

The skeleton took a stance, Kai thought

"This is the skeleton is using a boxing stance?.... Wait I also can do that [Child Of Chaos] Also gives me martial arts knowledge"

Kai takes a Muai Thai stance, His brain thinking of countless martial arts and every move he can do and what will be the most efficient

"This [Hyper Calculation] Is such a good skill"

Kai Kicked the skeleton in the head but The skeleton dodged and punched kai in the face

Blood dripping from Kai's Nose Kai punched the skeleton, It tried to block the attack but Kai's Attack broke its right arm.

"Yes one arm done Now I will break his other arm. It really hurts to punch bones my knuckles feel numb"

The skeleton punched Kai, But Kai read his movements and Kicked The skeleton's leg

It stumbled a bit and got back up The skeleton ran towards Kai It did another jab as Kai was slipped The skeleton punched Kai again

"An overhand hook. I can dodge it"

Kai Dodged the attack and kicked it on the chest

"F*CK IT HURTS WHY IS HIS ARMOUR SO STURDY EVEN AFTER SO MANY SLASHES"

Kai's right leg got red

The skeleton ran towards kai and punched him

"Another Jab?"

He tried to dodge but it was an uppercut

Kai's Mind was clouded with random thoughts

Kai got up and thought

"F*CK I KEEP GETTING DISTRACTED. I NEED TO END THIS AND QUICK"

The entire place was filled with the sounds of rattling bones

Kai and the skeleton kept exchanging blow after blow

Soon Kai coudnt keep up with the skeleton. The skeleton landed another blow this time to his abdomen

Kai spat blood and was struggling to keep his footing.

The skeleton continued with a barrage of punches

Kai fell to his knees he heard a voice

"As User Has taken A Significant amount of damage Cathedral shall now be closed"

Kai's face became pale

"N-No No please one more minute I can still win"

Soon Kai saw He was back at the cave. The skeleton kicked Kai in the face, Kai fell to the ground as he was losing his consciousness he heard something

"You did well. Now rest let me take over"

Kai drifted into slumber

Alice Now facing the skeleton

"I must admit Kai you are absurdly strong but my blessing [Universal Prophecy] tells me to not inquire about you trust you and follow you..... I never saw it acting like this"

After a while she added

"So you Bone Head Stabbed me huh you made me use up my last heal stone."

She ran towards the skeleton and swung her sword

The skeleton easily dodged

"you are quite fast huh but that is all[Speed of Wind]"

Alice and the skeleton exchanged blows Alice Faster than ever stronger than ever.

The skeleton on the other hand was being overpowered as it had lost one of its arm its leg cracking and unarmed.

Wolstrofe spoke

"You Foolish Human what did you do to the skeleton What even happened everything went dark. I SHALL NOT LET THY DESTROY MY CREATION"

Alice smiled and said

"I also don't know but I don't think you can stop me I am going to destroy that puppet of yours"

Her sword started turning red Her armour glowing a bit

"Oh the great lord of Ashes grant me the strength to burn anything that stands in my path [hellsfire]."

Soon a halo burning crimson red appeared and started floating above her head

She swung her sword In a flash The arm and the left leg of the skeleton broke into millions of shards

"Guess he really is sturdy"

Alice catching her breath added

"This skill really makes me tired I shall end it now "

Wolstrofe Screamed

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

In the next instant Alice was standing behind the skeleton.

The skeleton got sliced in half

Alice panting

"Its finally over. I am so beat I will take a quick....nap..."

Alice lost her consciousness

The voice of the system was heard

"Alice- Exp received-48exp,item drop-None

 Kai-Exp received 15,345,item drop-Mask of The Clown"

After a while the system added

"Kai has now turned into a gold rank hunter His level is currently 34"

Alice was the first one to wake up.

"Ugh.... My entire body hurts I used chanted [Hellsfire] for an entire minute. That explains why I feel so tired"

She slowly got up and looked around

She saw Kai Lying on the ground nearby.

"I cant remember what happened Why did Kai suddenly vanish from the cave with the skeleton and just teleport here with many injuries"

after a while she added

"The skeleton was badly damaged. Just what Happened while I was unconscious?" 

She looked at her battered up armour

"It cant be used anymore Might as well clean up before Kai wakes up"

Saying that Alice went outside the cave towards the river

The sun was right above the head after Alice was done taking a bath she returned to the cave

She saw Kai sitting on a rock.

"You are awake? Hungry? We can cook some of the wolf meat"

Kai looked at her and said

"Y-yea I just woke up... I have a headache I will eat a bit later you can eat ahead of me..."

Kai knew why he had a headache

Earlier he heard the system say

"[Hyper Calculation] Blessing Has caused you a lot of mental stress. You will have a headache for 18 Hours"

"Good Job. But Kai" After a while in a serious voice RON spoke again

"What actually happened? Everything went blank after the skeleton pierced Alice. You vanished I cant sense You as a Living Creature.. I am worried Please Share it with me what happened"

Kai thought

"I-I actually got more blessings from someone His name uhh Ah yea Xa-"

As Kai tried to say the name of The forgotten King

HE vomited blood

His heart felt as if it was being crushed

His lungs felt like it was on fire

His eyes started reddening

Blood came dripping from Kai's Nose, Eyes , mouth, ear .

Kai Screamed in pain. He rolled around the ground Screaming

Alice noticed Kai and immediately ran to him

"WH-WHA WHAT HAPPENED [Lower Heal]". Soon a golden light was emitted from the palms of Alice's hand

Kai became unconscious.

Alice tried to think what happened

Ron thought

"WHAT THE F*CK JUST HAPPENED WHY DID KAI SUDDENLY GET SO HURT .I-I DONT GET IT JUST WHAT IN THE WORLD DID KAI DO?"
