MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 219: Adam Vs. Victor



After crawling through a tunnel that spanned several kilometers, Victor returned back to the surface covered in dirt and sweat.

The entrance of the hole was around five hundred meters away from the wall, and they dug for several kilometers.

It was a long and important operation, but it horribly failed.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Victor walked over to a dead-looking tree that was the only tree in sight. There were three horses and one black camel tied to the tree.

He untied his very own black camel from the branch of the tree and hopped on it to start his return journey.

At that moment, he heard some strange noises coming from the hole near him. It sounded like someone crawling.

"The guards have already caught up to me?"

Victor's eyes turned cold, and then he used his sword to kill the horses so the guards wouldn't have any means to catch up to him.

With a squeeze by the reins, the black camel started to gallop towards the looming mountains on the horizon.

Victor kept glancing backwards and then saw a person jump from the hole. It wasn't any guard, but the person he fought earlier that day.

"That guy..." He whispered in surprise. "He is actually chasing me? I thought he would have second thoughts after I unarmed him with such ease. Why is he going to such lengths?"

After that, he remembered that it didn't matter that he killed those horses-that bastard had wings!

With eight-petaled wings, the person soared into the sky and started chasing him with a terrifying speed.

It was clear that the black camel was outclassed in terms of speed.

While in the wasteland, the black camel was one of the fastest creatures, but it was no match for this winged person.

However, in terms of endurance, the black camel might come out ahead, but Victor doubted that it would be enough to make up for the speed difference.

With a swoosh, Adam soared over him and landed in the ground ahead of him, facing him with a sword in hand.

Victor pulled on the reins, but it wasn't enough to stop in time as Adam slashed through the black camel's legs.

The black camel fell forward, and Victor quickly hopped off and then rolled out of the way of the falling animal, narrowly avoiding being crushed underneath it.

At that moment, Adam leaped over the dead black camel and smashed his sword at Victor. Victor quickly drew his sword, then tried to parry the heavy strikes, and he was somewhat successful, but he stumbled and lost his footing on the uneven ground.

With a lunge, Adam rushed back at him and swung his sword without stopping. Victor matched his energy, and their swords clashed together with a loud clang.

It was constant clanging as their swords clashed hundreds of times in the span of the minute.

Under the scorching sun, their fight raged on, both fighters showing no signs of backing down.

When another clash ended, Adam used the Little God's speed, and while he was fast enough to be almost invisible, Victor still managed to parry the blows.

Clang, clang, clang!

The wasteland around them stretched for kilometers in every direction, the only witness to their epic battle. It was barren, dead, and eerily silent except for the sounds of their weapons clashing.

"You shouldn't have chased me." Victor said with a deadpan voice, but something inside him clicked, and his strength started to grow once more.

Adam's expression turned serious, and he was forced to step back as Victor launched himself forward with renewed power.

With the new power, Victor pushed Adam's longsword aside and then cut through one of the gaps in the Deceased Paladin Armor, slicing into Adam's flesh.

While it wasn't serious enough to be life-threatening, it was definitely painful.

"Now you'll die, and for what?" Victor asked and tackled Adam to the ground, then, with a swing of his sword, knocked the sword out of Adam's hand.

Victor placed his sword at Adam's throat, centimeters away from ending his life.

"I would like to know why." He said. "To risk your life like this. It can't be because of that fake family right there, right? They're creations of code, so why does it matter what we do to them?

"Their feelings, their thoughts, their existence-none of that exists."

Adam smiled and said. "I am from the future."

"Huh?" Victor frowned.

"I've seen what kind of person you'll become, and knowing you're capable of such cruelty, it gives me pleasure to know that I can stop all the things that you will do."

"What nonsen—" Victor was about to say, but then with his black-clad gauntlet, Adam slapped his sword away from his throat and hopped back on his feet.

With a straight jab, Adam punched Victor in the chest and shouted. "Chi Strike!"

The Chi Strike brough through Victor's defenses and caused havoc in his chest.

"Cough!" With a bloody cough, Victor almost fell on his knees.

Without stopping attacking, Adam headbutted him with such force that it broke Victor's nose.

"Argh!" Victor swung his sword at Adam, but to his surprise, his blade went right through Adam's face, as if he were a ghost.

"What?!"

Motionless!

Adam threw another straight jab, and Victor was knocked back a few steps, barely able to stay

on his feet.

When he was about to slash again, Adam grabbed him by the wrist of his sword and kneed him

in the chest.

With just a few attacks, Victor's whole body was screaming in pain.

'How can't I react to any of his moves? It's not like he is moving fast either!'

Without realizing it, he was currently under Influence!

Influence-it makes a person hesitate about everything they do, and that allowed Adam to continue landing easy hits.

It was mental warfare that Adam had mastered!

"Pull!" Adam summoned his sword back to his hand and then stabbed into Victor's chest, the tip of the blade barely inside his flesh.

"Argh!" Victor looked at the sword and coughed out blood. "Why... why aren't you finishing

your strike?"

"What was the reason for coming to Ebonreach?" Adam asked. "If you answer truthfully, I'll let you live."

"Hah..." Victor smirked with bloodied teeth. "No, you won't."

"No, I won't." Adam slashed through his body with an upward slash, splitting him in half

from his waist up.

With that, he collapsed on the ground before his feet, lifeless and defeated.

"..." Adam sheathed his bloodied sword and started heading back.

He wasn't happy about his victory today because he had a feeling that this wouldn't be the

last time he met Victor.

He was talented enough to reach his current level of strength in a few years and could easily catch up to people in his tutorial group if he put his mind to it.

However, no matter what, Adam didn't plan on allowing him to catch back to him.

When Victor peeked his head from his hole, Adam planned to smack him down again.

...

As the night fell over the Ebonreach, inside a cramped and empty house, Adam climbed out of

the hole and looked around the abandoned place.

'It looks like they left this house. I don't blame them for leaving in a hurry.'

Adam shrugged his shoulders and stepped out of the house, stepping back into the dark

streets of Ebonreach, the cold air of the night on his hair.
