Chapter 306 Mercury Death
Chapter 306 Mercury Death
"Ah, did I hurt your feelings?" Tyrannus touched his nose and smiled through bloodied teeth.
He then stood up with the help of his battleaxe and looked at Mars, whose body was covered in scratches and burns with tattered clothes draped over him.
"Seeing that reaction, you clearly care a lot about the talent." Tyrannus curiously said. "You need the heart for something else than just luck. Perhaps you are trying to concoct some kind of potion?
"Hmm, perhaps something to do with your lack of talent? Perhaps, perhaps."
Tyrannus pondered, his eyes narrowing in thought.
"Fuck you." Mars raised his hands and then slammed them against the ground with thunderous force. "Earth\'s Might!"
Boom—the ground cracked and split open, sending a massive shockwave through the air.
The Sea pirates were already barely able to help Tyrannus in the fight, and they were in constant danger.
Once the ground split up, the ground under them vanished, and they began falling into the dark abyss.
All the nearby buildings fell apart and fell to the same ravine in the ground, and the destruction and casualties were immense.
Tyrannus jumped over the ravine and smashed the battleaxe towards Mars, but he quickly dodged, and the battleaxe smashed into the ground.
"Uranus..." Mars lunged towards Tyrannus, and suddenly a strange forcefield appeared around his right fist. "Strike!"
He then punched forward, and once his arm straightened up and his fist landed on the battleaxe, the forcefield popped like a soap bubble and the air exploded, sending Tyrannus flying backward.
However, Tyrannus quickly backflipped and landed perfectly on the ground, as if it were nothing.
"Neptune\'s Wrath!" Mars continued his relentless attacking and delivered a sharp downward chop attack, but Tyrannus quickly blocked it with a battleaxe and swept Mars\' feet from underneath him.
As Mars was about to fall to the ground, Tyrannus quickly raised his battleaxe and hammered it down with rage.
Mars quickly crossed his arms in front of his face and felt the battleaxe smash into his muscles.
Crash—Mars crashed into the ground loudly, and the ground cracked even further, causing a large dust cloud to rise up.
At that moment, the battleaxe started glowing in bright blue light, and then Tyrannus started smashing it down with relentless fury as if he were playing a game of whack-a-mole.
On the receiving end, Mars felt the battleaxe landing on his body with a powerful force, and his bones started to break with his flesh bleeding.
It was the most damage he had received in a very long time.
His body was already screaming in pain after getting exploded many times, but now he could truly feel his consciousness slipping away into a dark realm.
He was about to pass out!
At that moment, Mars saw flashes of memories, but instead of Tyrannus being the one striking him down, it was him, and the one at the receiving end was his brother, Mercury.
"Ugh!" Mars\' eyes shook violently, and at that moment, the battleaxe\'s blade smashed into his head, but instead of slicing straight through, it bounced away as if his skull were made of metal.
"No... Mercury..." Mars\' eyes turned cold, and he loudly screamed. "You are dead, and I won\'t join you!"
As the battleaxe landed once more, Mars quickly grabbed it with his bare hands, and he then used his other free hand to throw a punch towards Tyrannus.
While Tyrannus was trying to pull off the battleaxe from Mars\' grasp, he then noticed the fist that was going in his direction.
At first, he didn\'t think much of it and just planned to tank it with his body, as it was a punch that looked rather sluggish as it was thrown from a very awkward position.
However, the fist suddenly started growing in size, and soon it looked like a fist that belonged to a giant!
\'An illusion?\' Tyrannus thought at first, but then his face paled, and he looked frightened as every sense in his body screamed of lethal danger!
"Mercury Death!" Mars screamed, and then the fist landed on Tyrannus\' face.
Boom—the loudest explosion so far sounded that it even frightened the fish that were swimming in the nearby ocean.
Tyrannus flew like a cannonball across the air, his face bleeding furiously and his body limp.
After a while, he crashed into the side of the mountain, which was the location of his castle!
With that single attack, Mars sent Tyrannus flying for several dozen kilometers from Haventown all the way to the black castle!
Mars screamed loudly and stood up from the ground, touching his broken ribs.
A slight distance away, Bonney, hidden in the shadows, wiped her cold sweat; she couldn\'t believe her eyes. She also saw the strange illusion of a giant\'s fist and wondered what the hell that was.
\'I gotta report this to Ambrose, but the fight is definitely not over yet. Hopefully they don\'t decide to stop fighting and just kill each other...\'
A few kilometers away, standing on top of a building with a pitched roof, Adam watched the scene with crossed arms.
\'This is not enough.\' Adam\'s eyes narrowed dangerously. \'They need to injure each other till they are only inches away from death. Otherwise, Ambrose and I will not be able to finish them off.\'
...
At the shore of Haventown, Ambrose stood in the middle of several corpses, holding a box.
Below his feet, the vicious-looking pirate with a long scar running down his cheek looked lifeless.
"This\'ll come to a good use." Ambrose thought out loud as he looked at the box and then put it inside his inventory.
After that, he turned to the pillar of smoke that wafted all the way to the dark night sky.
\'The sound of battles had ended. It shouldn\'t be over this quickly, but I also heard a loud crash coming from that mountain over there.
\'Someone must\'ve been thrown quite far away.\' Ambrose tapped his finger against his sword. \'I suppose I should go near the site and get ready.\'
At that moment, Ambrose frowned and turned to the ocean. The fog of the Dark Waters turned thick and started to spread towards the shore.
He could barely see through the fog and towards the ocean.
However, at that moment, a creepy echo of haunting bells filled the air, and following the splashing of waves, a certain ship emerged from the fog.
It was a strange ship that looked like it was glowing green and was somewhat illusionary. It also had tattered black sails and a dark, ominous aura surrounding it.
Ambrose frowned as it didn\'t look like a real ship, but then he noticed figures standing on the deck, and when he saw them, his jaw dropped in shock.
"The W-Wild Hunt..."
In front of the deck, a figure with glowing armor stood with a small smile on his face.
"Ah, finally here." Death King whispered and then as the ship docked in the shore, he turned his gaze to a black-haired young man that was standing on the shore with stunned expression in his face.
"Oh, I smell a familiar scent from you." Death King\'s dark eyes shone brilliantly. "You are the thief, aren\'t you?"
"Shit..." Ambrose whispered, turned around, and used his Formlessness to fly away at high speed.
The Ghosts of the Wild Hunt whistled loudly and summoned their ghost horses from the fog.
"Retrieve the heart for me." Death King said and turned to Haventown with a smile. "There are two powerful individuals in here. I\'ll go have a word with them."
