Chapter 292: The Eternal (2)
"YOU...!"
Mason gritted his teeth and reached his hand towards the strongest boss in the entire game.
His gray arm glow with intense green eyes and the same green light surrounded the smoke monster.
"...(no)"
/Skill has been canceled
At the monster\'s sigh, the green light disappeared as if it was never there, to begin with...
"GHRGH...!"
...but still caused a great deal of mental damage to the gray-skinned half-elf, who stumbled back and bit his lips.
"...ah...!"
Suddenly he came up with an idea.
"Kopia! Turn into that wretched woman and ask it to stop!"
He called out to the red-haired androgynous person, frozen with fear on the floor, and pointed at the indifferent monster.
"Wh-what...?! Are you insane?!"
Kopia gasped looking between the half-elf and the primordial god of destruction.
"DO YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA?! DIDN\'T YOU HEAR WHAT CARAMEL SAID BEFORE SHE DIED?! THAT THING WILL KILL US ALL! THAT INCLUDES YOUR DEAREST CLAYMORE!"
Mason roared furiously at the unwilling Kopia and clenched his fists.
"!!!!"
That was enough for a reason to push them into action.
The green light enveloped their body and began melting and molding it like clay until it became a perfect copy of the dead villainess.
"Zombie! Look it\'s me! Those fools weren\'t able to finish m..."
*STAB*
"KHGHUGH...!"
"...WHA...?!"
Before Kopia could finish their sentence using the perfectly recreated voice of the fallen villainess, the red and black whip pierced right through their stomach causing them to fell to their knees and choke on the blood bubbling up from their throat.
"...(do you all think that I still have the rotten brain title...?)"
Eternal tilted his head and asked with anger echoing in its words.
"...(...just perish already, pitiful marionette...)"
"Mashther Claym...!"
*WHOOOOOO*
With a shrug of the smoke shoulders, the flash of violet fire evaporated the shapeshifting bodyguard before they could finish calling out for their master through the blood and tears for the last time...

"Wh-what is this?! Why do those doors not open?! Your majesty what does it mean?!"
"Let us out!"
"Somebody do something about that monster...!"
Meanwhile, all of the high nobles didn\'t even think for a second about facing the horrid monstrosity that effortlessly killed the people who were supposed to be chosen by the queen for whatever reason.
They all tried to evacuate, including the queen, but none of them could even reach the door - their hands were all blocked by some unknown invisible barrier - same with all the window, and even when someone tried to break down the wall using their skill, it ended up in a complete failure.
"That\'s the same thing that happened to young lady Pride, isn\'t it?! The invisible walls! That\'s the white-haired child\'s doing!"
"Your majesty! Order them to let us out this instant!"
The nobles demanded from the horribly pale queen.
---
"...(...what is it...?) ...(Feeling trapped?) ...(Good.)"
The cold voice resounded in everyone\'s minds at the same time.
"...(once I\'m done with that trash, it will be your turn, so wait patiently just a bit longer.)"
The red and black aberration declared calmly as if it was talking about the weather.
"Who do you think you are talking to...! You freak! Mika! Radiance! Begin the judgment!"
Mason was clinging to his life with all his might and wasn\'t going to give up just like that...!
"Ladies and gentlemen! The sins of that foul creature shouldn\'t even be...!"
"...(...green-eyed.) ...(...look.)"
Yet his words were interrupted by Eternal that was pointing its finger down at the ground.
No, not at the ground.
It was pointing at a thin trail of red and black smoke extending from his foot, coiling through the floor, and climbing up the thin leg of Radiance - and ending up stabbed deep into her side.
"!!!!!"
"RADIANCE?! Why didn\'t you said anything?!"
Mika panicked and tried to tear the smoke out, but it was just that - a smoke - her hands passed right through it, and to make things worse, the smoke was digging deeper and deeper into Radiance\'s body causing her overwhelming pain - yet also rendering her unable to even make a sound the same time.
"...(...skill creation - strings of the puppeteer.) ...(It\'s allowing me to use the same powers you cowards cheated my Cranberry off of her rightful win...) ...(...say, you filthy living, how does it feel to experience being trapped like rats...?) ...(...you killed the only person that could stop me from erasing your annoying life signatures...) ...(...so it must be the outcome you wanted...)"
Eternal explained calmly, turning around to have a \'look\' at the flabbergasted people.
"...(...I\'ve changed my mind about the time of your demise...)"
It suddenly scoffed and shook its head.
"I...!"
The queen opened her mouth, most likely to make some offer to the red and black smoke monster.
"...(...perish right now...)"
*WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
"!!!!!!"
The violet light engulfed the entire ballroom, once it faded the only ones left in the completely charred room were the white-haired Radiance controlled by Eternal, the ashen-haired Mika holding onto Radiance, the brown-haired Mason, and of course, Eternal itself.
Everyone else turned into a thin layer of gray ash on the walls.
"...(...brings back memories, green-eyed trash...?) ...(...no, I guess not, your family melted under my venom, so they turned into puddles after all...)"
Eternal mocked the half-elf in a cold voice.
"How dare you?!"
Mason gritted his teeth and tensed up, activating all his skills, ready to throw himself at the monster...
/all skills have been canceled
"GHUH...!"
...but instantly coughed up a mouthful of blood once Eternal\'s body glowed with the murky red light and its skill interrupted his own.
"MIKA! I\'M GIVING YOU BACK YOUR RAGE! DESTROY THAT THING!"
Mason spat out and only his eyes shone green for a split second.
"..."
The ashen-haired girl flinched and straightened her back.
"...Mi...ka...?"
She let go of the crying Radiance and stepped aside...
"YOU! I\'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO ME AND MY FATHER!"
Her whole body let out a crimson light and she let out a bloodthirsty roar.
"...(...)"
Eternal didn\'t even turn to face her - which only made Justice\'s Wrath that much angrier.
"I\'LL LET YOU TASTE JUSTICE, YOU VILLAINOUS MONSTER!"
She roared and charged at the primordial god of destruction...
