2025-02-18 01:19:38Christopher cracked his neck and he dashed in once more. While Christopher charged towards Oliver, Oliver noticed something in his movements.
Unlike before when he moved at tremendous speed, Christopher's pace seemed to have decreased and it took longer to close the gap than it did earlier.
Christopher finally arrived in striking distance and he swung out his clenched fist towards Oliver.
"It's not just his speed that has reduced. His attacks have also seemed to slow down." Oliver pondered internally as he lifted his two arms to block the incoming punch.
BAM!
Oliver managed to block the punch with his arms,but even if he did blocked it,it felt like he did nothing and the punch still deal lot of damage and shattered the bones in Oliver's arms. The force behind the punch also pushed Oliver few steps backwards.
"What the hell? The attack was quite slow and sluggish,how then was it able to harm me this much?" Oliver pondered internally with a shocked expression as he glanced at his arms that were now broken badly.
Christopher swiftly closed the gap before Oliver could recover, and he sent out another sluggish punch towards Oliver's head.
BAM!
Oliver was still yet to recover from the previous strike,so he was unable to dodge the incoming punch. The punch connected neatly to Oliver's face and caused him to spit out blood,and the brute strength behind the punch lifted him off the floor and sent him flying backwards.
Oliver landed on the floor with several bones in his body broken. Blood seeping out of his mouth and trickling down from his nose as he struggled to stand up from the floor.
"The passive skill won't kick in unless I'm injured badly and my HP is below 20. Dammit!" Oliver lamented internally as he heard the sounds of footsteps as Christopher began to walk towards him slowly.
Christopher grabbed his long pitch black hair and pulled him up slightly before connecting his knee to his face, shattered his nose,and knocked him down to the floor. Christopher kept kicking Oliver really hard on his chest,face, stomach, and the whole of Oliver's face was now covered in blood and even the whole floor was filled with Oliver's blood.
"You might have defeated my friends but you are no match for me! And here I was thinking you had it in you, but it turns out you are a weakling and a trash after all!" Christopher mocked with a sinister laughter as he kept kicking Oliver nonstop.
"What you don't get is that as long as I have the system by my side, I can never run out of luck." Oliver huffed as he grabbed Christopher's leg and stopped the kick in the last second.
Christopher's eyes widened in shock after Oliver caught his leg at the last second.
"He's badly injured, how is he still able to move so.. " Christopher's eyes widened the more after noticing something. "Impossible."
Right in front of his eyes, Oliver's injuries were healing up at a superhuman rate,and his once exhausted appearance was now filled with energy.
What Christopher didn't know was when he kept kicking Oliver in the chest, his Hp kept reducing, and when his HP went below 10, his passive healing skill activated and all his injuries healed instantly.
Oliver let go of Christopher's leg as he rose to his feet and spawn around slightly, delivering a flying tornado kick towards Christopher's head. Christopher was still dazed by what happened, so he just stood there like a statue as the kick headed towards his head.
Oliver's heel connected neatly with his head and he got sent flying backwards. Before Christopher could crash against the wall nearby, Oliver activated his Sprint ability and dashed forward, appearing behind Christopher.
He joined his two fists together and brought it down in his head like a hammer. Impact was made, and Christopher got knocked down to the floor, unable to move.
[Congratulations, you have shown bravery and defeated your enemies]
Oliver stood over Christopher’s motionless body, his chest rising and falling with adrenaline-fueled breaths. The system's message still flickered in his vision, but he had no time to bask in victory.
A sudden movement.
Christopher’s fingers twitched.
Oliver’s instincts screamed at him to react, but it was too late.
Christopher's eyes snapped open, glowing with an unnatural red hue. A guttural roar erupted from his throat as a violent shockwave blasted outward, sending Oliver skidding backward.
[Warning: Your opponent has activated "Berserker's Wrath."]
Oliver barely had time to process the system’s alert before Christopher was already on him. The sluggish movements from before were gone. Christopher moved with terrifying speed, his fist colliding with Oliver’s ribs.
CRACK!
The impact sent Oliver flying like a ragdoll, slamming through a nearby pillar. Before he could recover, Christopher appeared beside him, grabbing him by the throat and hoisting him into the air.
"You thought that was enough to beat me?" Christopher sneered, his voice distorted with raw power. "Let me show you why I’m called a monster."
He tightened his grip, squeezing the air from Oliver’s lungs. Oliver gasped, struggling, but Christopher wasn't done. He spun and hurled Oliver skyward.
Before Oliver could even begin to fall, Christopher leaped after him, twisting his body midair and delivering a devastating kick to Oliver’s gut.
Oliver crashed into the ground, creating a massive crater.
[HP critical. Passive healing reactivating...]
"Not this time." Christopher landed next to Oliver, stomping down with full force before the healing could take effect.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Oliver coughed out blood, his vision blurring. The system's recovery was being interrupted. He needed to move—now.
Christopher reared back his fist, preparing a final blow to crush Oliver’s skull.
But Oliver grinned through the blood dripping from his lips.
"I was waiting for this," he whispered.
A violent blue aura exploded around him, catching Christopher off guard. Before Christopher could react, Oliver’s hand shot out, gripping Christopher’s wrist.
Then—BOOM!
A surge of energy blasted Christopher away, sending him tumbling across the battlefield.
Oliver slowly got up, his body crackling with raw power.
[New Skill Unlocked: Limit Breaker.]
The ground trembled as Oliver’s eyes gleamed with newfound strength.
Christopher staggered to his feet, disbelief flashing across his face.
Oliver smirked.
"Round two starts now."

Chapter 315. The Watchers
The next day felt different. It wasn’t just the glances. It was the silence that followed him everywhere.Conversations stopped when Oliver entered a room. Laughter dimmed when he passed through the halls. Even the teachers, who used to look through him, seemed to hesitate before speaking his name during roll call.He had become something else, someone people whispered about but didn’t dare approach.The System’s faint hum was ever-present in the back of his mind. Its interface flickered from time to time, little digital sparks dancing across his vision like static.[Warning: Observation detected.][Source: Unknown.]Each time, the words vanished as quickly as they appeared. By lunch, Oliver was starting to feel the weight of those invisible eyes. Every corner of the academy seemed to breathe. The cameras on the walls. The students whose gazes lingered too long. Even the shadows under the stairwell seemed to watch him.It wasn’t paranoia. He knew it. The System didn’t lie. Someone,
Chapter 314. Sparks Of Defiance
The memory still burned. It wasn’t just a single moment, it was a wound replaying itself every time Oliver walked down the corridor. The laughter. The sneers. The way they had knocked his books to the ground and kicked them across the floor as if his dignity were something to toy with.The worst part wasn’t the pain. It was the look in their eyes, like he wasn’t even worth hitting seriously. That day, something inside him broke, but something else… woke up.The morning sun spilled through the academy’s tall glass windows, painting long stripes across the polished floor. Students hurried past, chatting, laughing, and pretending the world made sense. Oliver walked alone through the crowd, his steps quiet, his eyes fixed ahead.He had changed, though most couldn’t see it. His hair was slightly longer now, falling over his forehead, his back straighter, and his expression calm, too calm. Inside, the System whispered, faint like wind brushing through his mind.[Physical energy resonance
Chapter 313. The Return of the Lost
The battlefield was quiet. Too quiet. The Crown hung in the air, black and still, like a dead star. Its once-blinding light had vanished, leaving only faint ripples of energy that shimmered like heat above the shattered ground. The wind no longer screamed. Even the mist had fallen, curling in thin, dying streams around Grelich’s boots. He stared at the floating relic with hollow eyes. “Mara.”Garrick limped closer, his armor cracked, blood trickling from a wound near his ribs. “She’s gone, isn’t she?”Grelich didn’t answer. His throat felt tight. His hands, once alive with runes, were dim and trembling. The runes had burned out, empty vessels now. The price of too much magic.He sank to one knee, clutching the dirt. “I told her not to go that deep. I told her.”The ground trembled before he could finish. A pulse. Soft at first, then heavier, like a heartbeat made of thunder. Garrick spun around. “What was that?”Grelich looked up. The Crown. It was moving again. Not spinning, breath
Chapter 312
The mirror Mara stared into rippled like a living thing. Her reflection grinned, wide, confident, wrong. The crimson glow in its eyes pulsed in time with the heartbeat that still thundered through the air.“You always wanted to be strong, didn’t you?” the reflection whispered. Its voice was her own, only smoother. “Strong enough to save him. Strong enough not to need anyone.”Mara backed away. “You’re not me.”“Oh, but I am.” The reflection stepped closer to the glass, movements perfectly mirrored. “I’m the part that didn’t cry when you thought Oliver died. The part that liked killing the Wraithborn. The part that knows power feels good.”“Stop talking.”“You can’t stop what you already are.”The mirror’s surface began to bulge outward, like something pressing from behind. Her reflection’s hand reached forward, fingertips pushing through like water. The glass cracked, spiderweb fractures racing across its surface. Mara took a deep breath, tightened her grip on her daggers, and whisp
Chapter 311
Mara woke to the smell of dust and burned air. Her body ached; every breath felt like broken glass. The dawn sky hung pale over a field of gray glass that stretched to the horizon. No birds. No wind. Just stillness.She pushed herself upright. Her palms stuck to the surface, it was warm, faintly pulsing under her fingers. “Oliver…” she whispered. The name came out raw.A few steps away, Grelich knelt beside the sword. It jutted from the ground at a perfect angle, wrapped in a faint halo of gold and crimson light. Around the hilt floated the half-formed crown, spinning lazily as if it breathed. He didn’t look up. “Don’t touch it.”Mara staggered toward him. “What is it doing?”“Listening,” he said.She frowned. “To what?”Grelich finally turned. His eyes were bloodshot, the skin beneath them bruised. “To us. To him. To whatever is left in between.”Garrick stood farther back with the few surviving rebels, weapons drawn but useless. The air around the sword felt thick, like invisible
Chapter 310
The air in the void cracked with every movement. Oliver swung his sword through another reflection, splitting its chest in half. It dissolved into smoke, but before he could breathe, two more appeared, one with eyes of fire, one with chains of shadow winding around its arms.They didn’t roar or speak. They simply attacked. The clang of metal echoed across the glass plain.Each hit burned Oliver’s skin with heat that wasn’t real. Every strike from them felt like fighting himself, same stance, same weight, same rhythm.He parried a slash, countered with a knee, then pivoted and brought his blade down through another’s shoulder. The light burst outward, searing his face. “Enough!” he shouted, voice echoing through the hollow world. “I’ve had enough of ghosts!” But the reflections didn’t stop.They circled him, hundreds now, their glowing eyes watching, waiting. Each one looked more distorted than the last. One had horns, another wings, another a mouth filled with black flame. They wer
