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 397
The academy felt colder after the Envoy’s attack. People walked the halls with quiet steps, as if afraid the walls themselves might crack from the weight of what they had witnessed. Oliver felt the change in the air the moment he stepped out of the infirmary. Everything seemed dimmer. Every light hummed with a soft static. Every shadow felt too still. The world had changed, and everyone felt it.The Traveler Guild began investigations at sunrise. Scholars filled the citadel, their robes brushing the marble floors as they hurried between labs and archives. They spoke in low voices, clutching rune tablets, arguing about energy signatures, gravitational distortions, and ancient theories once dismissed as myths.Oliver sat at a round table in the research wing, staring at the holo-screen in front of him. It displayed the Envoy’s last known energy pulse, a violent spiral of black and white flames woven together like a twisted sun.“This pattern,” one of the scholars whispered, “it match

The earthquake struck just before sunrise. It started as a faint vibration under Oliver’s bed, like someone tapping the floor from beneath the world. Then it grew, rising into a violent tremor that shook the academy tower from its top floor to its deepest vaults. Windows rattled. Bedframes groaned. Books fell in heavy thumps across the dorm halls.Oliver shot upright, breathing hard. Another tremor rolled through the room, stronger than the first. The air hummed with static. His System flashed into view without being summoned. The text glowed blood-red.[Global Alert: Spatial equilibrium breach detected][Source: North Meridian Faultline][Rifts emerging across all regions]Oliver’s eyes widened. “Iris,” he whispered.He grabbed his coat, hooked on his boots, and ran out the door. Down the hall, Iris burst from her room at the same moment. Her hair was tangled, her breath shaky, but her eyes were sharp. “The ground won’t stop shaking,” she said. “What’s happening?”“The System thi

The weeks after the Crisis broadcast passed in a strange haze, as if the whole world stood on the edge of something huge but refused to look down. Meridian rebuilt its broken streets with trembling hands. Construction drones hummed day and night. New barrier pylons rose where old ones had fallen. Civilians wore smiles that never reached their eyes. Travelers patrolled the city in pairs, weapons glowing, waiting for the next alarm.On the surface, life looked like it was returning to order. But under that thin layer of calm, fear moved like a silent current.Oliver walked through the newly restored plaza with Iris and Billy at his side. His long coat brushed lightly against the ground. His steps were steady, but his mind felt heavy, as though someone had tied a stone to his chest. People bowed to him when he passed. Some whispered his name with awe. Others touched their children’s heads as if blessing them with his presence.Oliver never stopped for any of it. He simply kept walkin
Chapter 394
Morning arrived weakly over the ruined plaza of Meridian. The once bright city that had stood proud against the Rift for decades now felt like it had been hollowed out. Cracked tiles covered the ground. Barrier pylons lay shattered, their crystals flickering with dying light. Smoke drifted into the sky like thin black strings being pulled by invisible hands.Oliver stood in the plaza with his unit. Their armor was patched with cloth. Their faces carried exhaustion that no amount of sleep could erase. The world felt quieter than it should have been. Even the survivors walking through the streets moved with slow, careful steps as if afraid the ground might open beneath them at any moment.The Traveler Guild had called for a public announcement at sunrise. For now, a few hundred people gathered in the damaged plaza, while thousands more watched through projection screens across the city. The air buzzed softly with the drones broadcasting the scene.Iris leaned against a broken pillar,
Chapter 393
Morning crept over the Arcanum Desert like a trembling breath. The air was cold, too cold for a place once famous for its blazing heat. Travelers stood scattered across the battlefield with hollow eyes, watching the sky as if expecting another nightmare to step through the Rift.But nothing moved. The Worldcore Rift still pulsed darkly at the horizon, a giant wound stitched with black fire. Its surface rippled like the skin of a sleeping beast.Oliver stood on a shattered dune of melted glass. His coat was torn from the fight. Dust clung to his hair. His hands wouldn’t stop trembling no matter how tightly he clenched them.The Herald’s last laugh still echoed inside his chest.Iris knelt a few steps away, her staff planted into the ground for support. Her face was pale, lips pressed tight as she tried to control her breathing. Billy crouched beside her, trying to joke to hide his fear, but even he was shaken.No one spoke for a long time. Then the sky cracked. It sounded like metal s
Chapter 392
Night fell over the Arcanum Desert like a curtain of ink. The dunes glimmered faintly under a silver moon, but the sky above them churned with something unnatural. Small Rifts flickered across the horizon. They twisted open and shut like blinking eyes, releasing bursts of pale fire that died before touching the sand.Travelers across the desert halted their transports and stared upward. Something in the air tasted wrong. Even the wind moved strangely, carrying a low hum that rattled bones.Oliver stood at the front of his strike unit, boots sinking slightly into the glassy sand. The heat still radiated from earlier Rift surges, making the ground shimmer. Iris stood beside him, staff in hand, sweat dripping down her forehead. Billy checked the charge on his gauntlets, trying to hide the tremor in his fingers.Behind them, dozens of Traveler squads formed a wide arc facing the largest Rift. The portal spun like a black sun surrounded by blue lightning. Every second, it grew wider. T
