Chapter 155: killing the mimic

Using both his hands he slammed the ground, propelling several clones in front upwards. With a swift motion the creatures arms elongated. Moving with a mind of it’s own,making several slashes in an arc motion.

Thud! Thud! Pieces of the clones bodies rained to the floor. With a wide grin the creature moved from spot, swiftly moving with such fluid motion. That made one question the laws of gravity.

It’s dark claws partly dyed with a shade of red, from the clones blood with it’s teeth.

Splash! Slashing a clone into two another cline suddenly held it’s leg. Along with several other clones holding down parts of his body pinning him down.

Swoosh! A clone moved fast with the scythe in his hands, attempting to behead the entity.

Roar! It’s aura burst out with several spikes potruding from it’s body. Plunging into the clones bodies, immediately killing them. Stretching it’s hand the creature grabbed the clone, stopping it in it’s track. Using the other hand he squeezed hard on the clone head.

Pop! A sharp pop sound was heard, as the clone head exploded into a pulp. Unable to keep up with the intense pressure. The body slowly slipping from the creature’s hand, to the floor.

Bang!

An explosion sound erupted along with a jetski of dark red flames, directly hitting the entity in the chest. Sending it backwards crashing into a pillar, destroying it. While still being pushed back by the flames.

Die you abomination! The mimic roared with a crazed grin plastered to his face. His hands stretched forward, with the blazing flames shooting from the mimic’s palm.

Roar! Stomping it’s foot it tried to evade the flames but the mimic wouldn’t let it. Forming a flame whip wrapping around the entity’s leg.

Get over here! The mimic roared pulling the flame whip along with the creature down. The whip slithering like a snake wrapping the entity’s entire body.

Running the mimic dragged the creature across the floor swinging his hand slamming the creature into a pillar. Destroying it still continuing to slam into several nearby pillars.

This place is going to collapse. Kyle muttered seeing the building threatening to fall from the havoc unleashed.

It’s gone. Looking down he could see the shadows holding his leg disappearing into thin air. Seizing the opportunity kyle shot like a bullet his grip on the katana firm.

Reaching the mimic in no time he slashed at his arm. But the latter intercepted his attack countering it by shifting his body just in time. Twisting and sending out a kick to Kyle’s gut. Gritting his teeth Kyle stomped his foot to the ground stopping him momentarily.

I can’t afford to distance myself from him. The latter inwardly thought not giving up and continuing in his attack.

You don’t learn do you. The mimic frowned a second flaming whip appearing in his left hand. Which he didn’t hesitate to forcefully swing at Kyle.

Jumping to the side Kyle avoided the first strike but he wasn’t safe there. As the mimic continued on releasing a barrage of multiple hits.

Bang bang bang!

Each time the flaming whip hit an object it made small bang noises. With sizzling sounds and sparks if flames.

His fluid with the whip just like falcon. Kyle thought deflecting the whip with the katana. The force made from it was equivalent to a trailer ramming into a building.

Looking for options the whip was struck straight at his head. Leaping from spot he landed on a pillar, just in time as the attack created a small crater.

Stop running! The mimic yelled in frustration stomping his foot shooting upwards. With the whip in hand he swung it at Kyle.

Who’s the fool now? A sly smile tug to Kyle’s lips letting himself fall. Seeing this the mimic was surprised at first but continued with his attack.

[Shadow walk activated!]

Before the mimics eyes Kyle’s body turned into a shadowy figure. Passing through the flaming whip, but not without a price.

[-10hp]

It was a sacrifice he had to make. Seeing no other way to manuever the flaming whip without suffering severe backlashes.

Thud! He softly landed besides the entity writhing in pain. Quickly using the frozen katana to attempt to cut the whip.

Get away! The mimic roared descending downwards slashing the whip at Kyle. Stretching his left hand he shot out a dark ball with spikes. Heading fast and clashing with the whip at midair.

It cancelled my skill? There were hints of shock lingering in the mimic’s eye seeing his flame whip dispelled by Kyle’s hit.

Bam!

But he didn’t have time to think as dark chains potruded out of thin air moving with life straight for him.

I can’t be beaten. He frowned another flame whip materializing in his hand. Which he didn’t hesitate to use furiously slashing at the chains destroying them.

But it didn’t matter cause more dark chains appeared from thin air to replace the fallen ones.

Argh! The mimic grunted as a dark chain wrapped around his left leg. Swinging the whip he destroyed it but another wrapped around his other leg clinging deeper into his skin. Pulling him down crashing into the ground making a small crater.

Along with other chains wrapping around his body pinning him down. Draining the life from him slowly and painfully.

It’s working. Kyle thought seeing the ice buff from the frozen katana finally having an effect on the whip. Slowly freezing it with just the right amount of ice to enable the entity break free.

Roar! The creature roared already up on it’s feet loose from it’s bondage. Ignoring Kyle and instead swiftly making it’s way to the mimic.

Pouncing on the wrapped individual furiously swiping it’s claws at him.

How is this even possible? Kyle stood in awe, watching the creature dissemble the dark chains with ease.

He didn’t think it was possible to break as even the mimic himself struggled with it once caught. But the entity effortlessly tore through it like a hot knife through butter.

N-no you can’t - giving him no chance the entity stabbed it’s two claw hands into the mimic’s chest. Some black goo transferring into the mimic’s body turning him completely black. With dark hollow eyes and black veiney like substance running along his neck.

[He died just from getting in contact with it’s toxins. Incredible..] snow abruptly spoke.

She had been quite during the fight and Kyle could tell she was just as intrigued as him.

Grr.. the creature let out a low growl abruptly stopping. Swiftly lifting his head and turning, it’s white eyes locked to Kyle’s.

Shit it felt my stare. Kyle inwardly cursed knowing he was caught.

Dropping the lifeless mimic the creature then slowly started walking towards Kyle. Tilting it’s head in a coordinated motion as if recalling something.

M-mom? Dad? Are you there? He called out slowly taking some steps back. The katana was in his hands but he knew he couldn’t compete with this monstrosity. Even if he transformed into his demon form.

Leaning up against a wall Kyle prepared himself if a fight was going to occur.

I can’t feel any negative energy coming from it but still, I can’t take any chances.

Lifting the katana up he pointed it to the incoming creature. As a warning sign to halt which the creature ignored. Still walking to him with curious eyes.

That’s it. Now just 3 meters apart he swung the frozen katana at the beast. Which was easily stopped, caught with just a hand.

Reaching out the creature gently tapped Kyle’s head. Softly brushing his ruffled hair with it’s hand.

K-kyle.. it muttered in a distorted voice forming a creepy smile.

Phew.. I thought I had lost you guys there for a minute. He sighed in relief glad to know his parents were still in there.

Calmly walking over to the mimic Kyle could tell he was truly dead. Not feeling a pulse or heartbeat. But still he had a sickening feeling the latter wasn’t truly dead.

Too bad I didn’t get the kill. He sighed a bit disappointed his parents killed the mimic. He knew he would get insane rewards from killing this foe. According to the system logic which was the stronger the opponent the greater the rewards.

[Check his heart for a core.] Snow blurted out stopping Kyle in his tracks.

A core? I know all living things had one but aren’t the possibilities usually very rare?

[They are but in most cases higher beings tend to develop cores faster than lower beings.]

Crouching down he carefully made a cut with the katana. Inserting his hand into the dead man’s chest. Searching a bit he ucane up short.

Guess even he wasn’t that far advanced to develop a core. Shaking his head Kyle turned about to leave seeing the creature had now reverted back to his parents.

Weird.. I didn’t feel anything. He thought not feeling an aura, a change in air. Nothing at all from his parents reverting back.

We.. go? Xia was the first to speak to which Kyle nodded.

Come. She gestured and like a command the dead mimic got up to his feet.
