Chapter 183: The Fall of Leader
[4 seconds remain for 'Double Assault']
Stark and his clone, seeing that Leader was going on a frenzy swinging his 'snake' arms everywhere, which sent hundreds upon hundreds of snakes in all direction, knew they needed to get this over with quickly.
They had already lost enough precious time, and the others must have already leveled up a lot, and possibly already are on the verge of finding the key to the next exit, so he needed to be quick and catch up to them.
And the only thing blocking his advance… was Leader.
[But of course… he wasn't a threat to begin with =)]
"YOU PIEECCsssES OF SsssHIT…" the sect-leader that a far cry from his usual composed self, and Stark could only laugh as he imagined the usually confident Leader talk to his religious followers in the crazed state he was in.
If he had his phone, he would have surely recorded it, but now all he needed was to eliminate him.
'Operation Stun-Chain… BEGIN!' he gave a thumps up to his clone, and both of them began to run around Leader again, who repeatedly, at incredible speed, began to smash all his surroundings.
The movements of both parties were so fast you wouldn't be able to see them by your naked eye.
[3 seconds remain for 'Double Assault'], and only one second had passed as Stark had made at least 4 turns around Leader.
"GO!" he shouted, and his clone immediately backed away.
~FWISH, VIOUM…~
And then… he threw the two [Crystal Stun] potions he had in hand toward Leader.
"…!" but the long-haired man had heard the signal, and also noticed the movements of the clone and the potions, so he obviously knew he couldn't allow them to hit his body or face directly.
And so…
"NICsssE TRY!" he used one of his giant snake arms to block both potions, who exploded on it upon impact.
~CRACK, BOOM~
The potions released the white mist on Leader's arm, and suddenly…
[Leader's right arm was stunned!]
His arm was made of semi-living snakes that Leader had summoned from who knows where, so it meant that they were also affected by the arrow, and the mist spreads extremely easily, resulting in Leader's right arm to be completely infected, and thus stunned.
~CRASH~
Hundreds of snakes fell unconscious on the floor when Leader couldn't attack with that arm anymore, letting it hang there as it would be useless for a while.
"AURA SMASH, CRIMSON SPEARS," and to add to that pressure, the clone kept sending projectiles toward Leader, who was forced to block using his left arm as to not receive damage.
"SERPENTILE CHARGE," he summoned not ONE, but TWO giant green circles, one for each enemy he had.
~VIOUM… PAW!~
The dark green snakes that came out of the giant circles, their eyes full of whitish aura that left a trail behind, were much bigger and powerful than any other one Leader had sent before.
'Emotions do matter in the usage of aura, it seems…' Stark thought as he saw that, it had been true that Leader got stronger the angrier he got.
Was it why his clone was so strong? Or maybe… something else?
In the end, it didn't matter much.
~BOOM~
The snakes, at least five times the size of the two humans (well just one to be honest), rushed at them both, ready to kill them in one strike.
But…
"INVINCIBLE DODGE!" they both rolled away at the last second.
[Perfect Dodge x2!]
They both got a perfect dodge, and it even showed it on the panel with the x2 sign.
[In the case of a double 'Perfect Dodge', time moves much slower than before!]
And just as expected, instead of being able to see Leader's body slowly go up after the attack, it was now so slow that the movements wouldn't be visible if you didn't REALLY focus on them.
But this also meant that Stark could get more time to think.
Well… he didn't really need it tho since… operation 'Stun-Chain' was going exactly as expected, actually it was going even better.
"=)" the clone now just stared at Stark, its expression so sadistic that even he could feel how some of the others felt when seeing it.
It just looked at Stark, after all it didn't have anything else to do: the plan now completely depended on what Stark did.
And so… he decided to finish it.
"CRIMSON BALL TRANSMISSION," there was only a five minutes cooldown between each ball, so he already got it again and summoned it in hand.
~FWISH~
The world retrieved its normal colors (since perfect dodge turns it to black and white), and time began to move normally again.
But instantly…
~FWISH, THROW~
Stark threw the crimson ball perfectly, and [Focus] actually aided him as much as possible this time, even going as far as drawing the perfect line which he needed to throw the ball at.
And so… he did it.
The crimson ball perfectly lobbed over Leader's body while he was still trying to throw attacks at Stark and his clone, which they all avoided even though it was becoming harder and harder to do so.
"WITH THIS…" Stark's aura took over his entire body, hiding his figure by surrounding it by crimson aura, with only his eyes and mouth being white, making him look like his creepy clone, although his expression was totally serious, "IT'S OVER!"
~SNAP~
He snapped his fingers when the ball was right behind Leader's head, and he already positioned himself to throw his potion from the location he was in.
~FWISH~
He instantly teleported behind Leader, now able to see his small head from behind as it was normally mostly covered by the snakes and his giant body.
"Good fight," Stark acknowledge Leader's strength before the fight even ended, this was just how confident he was in his final attack, "You were strong."
~THROW~
As said before, he had already positioned himself to throw the potion, and so the exact moment he teleported, he was already in the position to throw the [Crystal Stun] potion, which he did immediately.
And it hit Leader's head.
~BOOM, CRACK~
"H-HUH?!" Leader looked back to see Stark smiling while floating in midair, "I GOT YOU NOW!"
He moved his left arm and threw a massive fist that would surely kill and poison Stark if it hit.
But right at that moment…
"Huh… I… can't move my body?" he couldn't move his fist, or any of his body parts at all in that regard, resulting in the attack not hitting Stark, who just fell to the ground and landed graciously.
[Leader has been stunned!]
"DOMI-CHAIN!" the final part of the plan was executed, and Stark threw the massive crimson chain around Leader's body while he was stunned, and all he could do was watch in horror as the chain wrapped itself around his legs, then his torso, then his arms… and after less than thirty seconds… his head.
"N-NO, PLEASE, NO STOP, I-" Leader was now begging for mercy, something he had never given to any of his opponents, something he himself loved to hear from his enemies.
And now… he was put in such a lowly position.
"Pathetic," Stark shook his head as Leader's entire body was taken over by the chain, his aura and life force being absorbed.
And now that he couldn't do anything…
[Leader was knocked out]
The [Ultimate Fusion] skill as well as the [Symphony of Snakes] both deactivated, resulting in both the giant snake body to disappear into thin air, but also his original one to transform back to its human form.
And so Leader fell to the ground from that height, while his aura was deactivated.
~CRASH, THUD~
He splashed onto the ground in a sickening thud.
"-99999!"
And so, just like that, Leader, the all-powerful sect-leader, died.
