Chapter 262: All in [1]

|[Morris… listen to me! There has to be another way okay? You’re already at your limit anymore and… and…]|

[She’s right we need to escape]

(I agree master this isn’t worth it)

’Oh, why hello there… fancy seeing you at this moment ain’t it? Well, you might have some questions like how did this happen and all that. Buddy, I don’t even know how I got here, you could say I got forced by a guaranteed way of surviving the long run,’

’I’m not even given a choice…’

Half an hour and ten minutes ago

|[Morris can you hear me? It’s done… everything is done on my end of the plan. I’ll open up a path for you so get out of the ruins unless you want to die]|

“Yuri you fucking idiot!!!” Even before he could move Mikhailov threw a bomb the moment her message was received

The rubble cleared and due to Morris’s active blessing he managed to avoid the speeding debris. But Pike wouldn’t allow him. Christoper was taken by surprise when he pounced at the right time and the two collided with the ruins. To ensure his survival he used a large amount of mana to amplify his fist and smash through the rocks

“Diabolus now!!!”

[Diabolus Ex-machina: Due to a loophole you managed to summon the demon of machinery to your side!

Status: The effects of this temporary space have severely weakened the abilities of Diabolus Ex-machina

Outcome: Mimicry has been established! The machine will now copy the wielder’s stats and capabilities. Optical capacity has been improved due to the active blessing]

“Why hello there,” Diabolus burst from a distorted space originating from Morris’s chest and the first thing he did was attack

The sudden burst that came with Diabolus’s arrival gave Christoper the edge he needed to escape. As Diabolus prepared to attack from the air Morris pricked Lawrence’s acupoint which rendered him immobile. In that brief moment, the eyes of these two intertwined and their plans took a drastic turn

“I’m ready, my lord!”

[System: Unique link has been detected! The player’s combos are now chained to ’Demon of machinery’. Each 10th combo will increase the critical rate and damage of the chained attacks]

“Batter up!” With a kick to send Pike off his body would connect with Diabolus’s supercharged fist

[Combo: 2!]

“Things are just getting started,” Pike’s body was then redirected to the ground after Morris successfully connected his kick

[Combo: 3 → 4!]

In the direction, Pike was about to fall Diabolus intervened and sent him flying toward Morris with a raging fist. “Isn’t it time that we increased the speed, my lord? Don’t tell me you’re already tired. Why don’t you sit this one out?”

[Combo: 5!]

“Aren’t you a little too cocky?” Once the two ultimately reached their necessary range the two began to freeze

[True sight: You’ve chosen to shut down other optical abilities except ’Analysis’ & ’Processing’

Status: Due to the empty slots, you can maximize the effectiveness of the present functions… you’ve chosen to amplify

Outcome: ’Analysis’ & ’Processings’ feedback to the user has been increased by a hundredfold]

“It’s ass-whooping time ya hear?” It was just a second but for them, it was enough the preparation and execution were in their rightful place

([Rewrite system: Alert we’ve discovered a main quest–])

[Combo: 6 → 7 → 8 → 9!]

Though he heard the system notification, Christoper’s entirety was concentrated on landing another blow. “Not now you shitty system! I don’t need any annoyance. Mute!!!”

([Rewrite system: Due to the author’s request the message will be postponed for 10 minutes])

[Combo: 19 → 20→ 21→ 22 → 23 → 24!]

Blow after blow after blow, Diabolus and Christoper kept swinging either fist or foot as they juggled Pike in the middle. “Mana overlock… speed enhancement, strength amplification, durability up, recoil decrease,”

[Combo: 36 → 37 → 38 → 39 → 40!]

Amid their onslaught, Yuri manages to pinpoint their destination, and as she arrives she notices Pike. Though it was faint she saw him slowly recovering from Christoper’s acupoint and his numbness began to diminish. Before he could do anything she readily aimed her rifle but her focus was thwarted by the sudden shout of her companion

[Dont!]

“Tamamo I told you this isn’t the right time to chit-chat–”

[If you don’t want your friend from dying then by no means can you intervene… he might look tired but this specialty of his is something you mustn’t doubt. I’ve seen movements like these it feels like every punch and kick he swings is timed and planned out]

“What do you mean?”

[… your friend hasn’t asked for your help. He’s steadily swinging with his all. If he did then he could’ve given you a signal by now, but he didn’t. I’m certain that if I didn’t stop you he would’ve been dead lying on the ground. A single offset to his flurry of attacks will mean the end of his own]

“You bastards! I had enough of you–”

[Combo: 50!]

Diabolus steadily sends a roundhouse kick and in return, Christoper goes in for an uppercut. That brief second was enough and the distance between these two shortened even further. Whenever Lawrence would make any moves on each one the other would intercept leaving them vulnerable to an attack

’One thing I learned from spamming Mirage is the possibility of obtaining something like this… but it never happened. Why? It’s not that my mastery is low but my skill rank is garbage. I still need to control them so it’s hard to pull something like this off. But my fight with Vandrake shows how synchronized the two of us are that it’s nearly perfect,’

“Diabolus contract,” Their range went even smaller, and their bodies were but a hair away from being attacked by Pike

“You have a lot of guts–”

[Combo: 67!]

Everything they did even down to their breath had a hint of disrespect whatsoever. Punch after punch, kick after kick, there’s even the occasional stab when they found an opening to apply another wound. Whether it was avoidable or not these two always went for his nuts to annoy this towering lump of meat

“I had it with your tricks– Urghhh!!!”

[Combo: 75 critical!!!]

Christoper swung a fully charged swing in his abdomen and said. “It might be dirty… but you have to admit it’s working. If you have a problem then move god damn it!”

Following Pike’s departure from Morris’s punch he flew to be met with Diabolus awaiting his return. His scarred back had their defenses put to the test when he lunged forth with a chainsaw at hand. The roars permeated the room the clacking of the chains grew louder and the blades pierced them so

“Welcome to hell!” Morris pushed him further and his back was chipped if not torn to shreds by the mere power of those blades

[Combo: 96!]

“That’s enough!!!”

After everything he’s been put through Pike finally found a way to escape from their attack once and for all. In their onslaught that seemed to never end, he stored his mana until the very last second and released it all. The resulting outcome created a powerful wave of mana knocking the two from his side or so he thought

“See, what did I tell you? I knew he had something up on his sleeve. It’s a good thing we had some spare chains,” Below Lawrence’s waist lies two chains tied separately in his foot where the two held tight with their all

[Combo: 98!]

Lawrence finally choked for the very last time and without his remaining mana his fate was unavoidable. The two tugged the chains and it continued their attack but not before charging for the very last time. Mana which they carried so on in this tiresome battle was now being fully emitted in their palms

[System: Master-servant synchronization has finally reached 100%. Your actions are now perfectly mirrored. Your next attack will prove to be even stronger as two have finally become one]

They clench their fist control their breath and look straight ahead at their target slowly hurdling in their way. They weren’t hesitant nor were they hurried in landing the finale of their combined force. Eyes blank, fist bleeding, yet the overwhelming desire to live has yet to depart

“Twin reversal jab!!!” Their fist struck his chest and though it didn’t show any external mark it left a lasting impression on Lawrence’s flesh

The residual force permeated Pike’s body bypassing his thick and iron-like skin and bursting with such ferocity. His blood returned to his heart, his bones shattered, and his chest cracked where a drizzle of blood appeared. They have yet to hear to completion and Diabolus’s body breaks down whereas Christopher’s fell

“This guy has a third phase?” He pants with no sign of stopping anytime soon and instead of his mood getting lighter it eventually grows dark

“What the fuck is this?” After he read the notification another disturbing reminder appeared before his eyes

[System: Congratulations you’ve finally dealt the required damage to the 50th boss!

Status: Upon reaching 25 or below health the nightmare boss has entered its third and final phase

Alert: The 50th-floor boss acquired the unique ability (Berserk)]
