Christopher 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."

    Behind Oliver, Billy wiped sweat from his face. He tapped his cracked tablet. "Yes, boss. The mathematical paradox loop. It is ready. But I need a hardwired connection to upload it. I need to plug it directly into the Overlord’s nervous system.""I am the connection," Oliver said cleanly. Oliver turned his burning red Wraithborn eye toward the clone. "You think you control the board because you control the bomb," Oliver told the clone. "But you forgot that I am already part of your system."Oliver stepped forward. He did not run. He walked slowly toward the platform. The clone frowned. "Stop walking, Oliver. If you touch this platform, I will crush your soldiers.""You will not crush them," Oliver said. "Because you are going to be too busy doing math."Oliver reached the edge of the fleshy platform. He raised his black metal right hand. The glowing purple veins in his arm pulsed brightly. He slammed his dark metal hand directly into the thick, glowing purple cable that connected

    The massive green lines on Oliver’s sonar visor pulsed brightly. The walls around them were breathing. The floor beneath the thick purple ice was breathing. They were standing inside the throat of the Overlord. Sergeant Miller stepped forward on the ice. He looked around in the pitch blackness. "Commander. What do you see? Why did we stop?""Do not speak loudly," Oliver commanded. His metallic voice was a tiny, cold whisper. "The cavern walls are biological. We are inside the enemy."The human soldiers froze. Private Davis dropped his rifle slightly. His hands shook. "Inside him? We walked into his mouth? Boss, we have to go back!""We cannot go back," Oliver stated flatly. "The entrance is miles behind us. The ice will not hold forever. We must go forward.""Forward into its stomach?!" General Vega hissed. "The Overlord’s core intelligence must be housed centrally," Oliver explained cleanly. "If we are inside his physical form, we have a direct path to his brain. We will cut it ou

    Commander Oliver stood at the very front of the leading metal boat. It was a heavy, armored skiff. The boat drifted slowly across the deep, freezing water. They were entering a place called the Sunken Maw. It was a massive, flooded cave system miles beneath the surface of the planet. The darkness here was absolute. It was so thick it felt like a heavy black blanket wrapped around their heads. "Flashlights are useless," Sergeant Miller whispered. He stood behind Oliver, holding his heavy plasma machine gun tightly. Miller clicked the bright white light on the side of his gun. The beam hit the pitch-black water and simply stopped. The dark magic in the thick fog ate the light immediately. "Turn it off, Sergeant," Oliver commanded. His voice was smooth and perfectly cold. It echoed faintly across the black water. "Light makes us a target. We move in the dark."Miller quickly turned off his flashlight. There were three armored skiffs in the small fleet. They were tied together with t

    The perfect clone floated above the broken bone bridge. Red fire poured from its eyes. The Overlord controlled this stolen human face. It raised the black glass spear, ready to strike Commander Oliver. "I will erase you," the clone whispered. The dark voice shook the massive cavern. Oliver did not speak. He did not draw his gun. He did not run complex equations out loud. He simply watched the clone’s shoulders. He looked at the red mist swirling under the clone's boots. The mist was lifting the clone into the air. The mist was the power source. Oliver drew his sharp titanium combat knife. The clone lunged forward. The black glass spear stabbed straight at Oliver's heart. It moved incredibly fast. Oliver did not block the heavy spear. He stepped exactly three inches to the left. The deadly glass weapon passed right by his ear, slicing a tiny cut on his cheek. Oliver did not blink. He stepped smoothly inside the clone's guard, right into the red mist. With his black metal right ha

    The wind screamed like a dying animal. It pulled everything down toward the massive, open iron door at the bottom of the dry river. Commander Oliver fell through the dark air. He was diving straight into the giant vacuum. He did not wave his arms. He pointed his body like a perfect, black arrow. Below him, his mother, Elise, tumbled wildly. She cried out in pure terror. The black hole was only fifty feet away. Oliver did not blink. His mind saw the distance. His mind knew her exact speed. He reached out with his right arm. His arm was made of smooth, black Wraithborn metal. The purple veins under the alien steel glowed brightly in the dark. He caught her. His metal fingers clamped around her wrist like a vice. The sudden stop jerked his shoulder hard, but the alien metal did not break. With his human left hand, Oliver pulled a silver Anchor disc from his belt. He slammed it hard against the stone wall of the canyon as they fell past it. A massive wave of anti-gravity pushed upw

    Boom. Boom. Boom.The giant rusted metal door at the bottom of the empty riverbed shook. The sound echoed heavily across the dark underground cavern. Commander Oliver stood on the high stone bridge. Half of his face and his entire right arm were made of smooth, pitch-black Wraithborn metal. In the very center of his chest, the alien black coin pulsed. Suddenly, the coin flared. A sharp, burning heat spread through Oliver's ribs. Oliver closed his eyes. The purple map inside his head grew a hundred times clearer. It was not just glowing lines anymore. He saw deep through the dark rock. He saw hidden rooms. He saw glowing red traps waiting in the shadows. He saw massive staging zones packed with thousands of sleeping monsters. "The coin is speaking faster," Oliver said smoothly. His metallic voice was perfectly calm. "It is giving me the complete blueprint of the enemy's world."Lira, the pale-eyed ghost woman, floated beside him. "Do not listen to it! It is showing you too much! It
