INFINITE MONEY - I Will Buy Everything

"What's with that creepy smirk?" Delmar's heavy voice could be heard from one corner of the battlefield.

Nile felt a chill run down his spine as he heard the voice. Recognizing it as belonging to the bald bastard, dread quickly set inside of him.

He glanced toward where he thought his body should have been but saw nothing. Then he looked around for the source of the sound and found the man who is the owner of the voice.

Indeed, Delmar stood there, sporting his signature smile and colored lens sunglasses that added a certain charm to his dangerous demeanor. As he looked at Nile like he was looking at someone very foolish.

With a mocking tone, Delmar said to Nile, "You really didn't think that you could kill me off just with that, did you?"

"Forget about the force behind those blades, not even the edge of the blade was sharp enough for it to harm me."

"But it was sharp enough for a good scratch though."

Nile furrowed his brows at those words. As annoyed as he was, he had to give credit to the man for surviving that barrage of attacks.

Anyone that he had used those attacks on either are dead or are in a very damaged state. So it was astonishing to see someone who not only survived it but also didn't get injured at all.

Nile wanted to know how Delmar had dodged those strikes, so he asked, "How did you survive that? I was sure those attacks hit you."

"You want to know, right? Then how about you make me," Delmar replied, his tone as mocking as ever as he took a punching stance.

Nile realized that the monster was not going to answer him directly, but he still tried to find out if there was any weakness in Delmar's strikes or if there was something special about him.

So, Nile responded in a mocking tone as well, "Yes, why don't I do that." Nile's also responded to Delmar's stance with one of his own.

Nile's didn't realize it, but he was losing the anger that had consumed him a moment ago. As time passed, he actually felt more exhilaration as he fought. The warrior spirit inside him was awakening more and more.

"And not just that, but I will also make you tell me the location of that child too."

Delmar, realizing that the man in front of him might have information he was curious about, asked, "Oh! So you know about the kid. Mind telling me more about him?"

"Why don't YOU make me!" Nile retorted and shot another barrage of attacks. This time, instead of swords, they were spears that shot toward Delmar, who dodged them just in time.

Delmar looked at the spears with a glint in his eye but didn't say anything. "Come on! I just want to know more about the brat who brought me so much trouble. Help me out here," Delmar said, trying to divert Nile.

Nile understood what he was trying to do but still spoke, "Like hell, I will. And how can you say that after you brutally killed so many of our members?" Nile shot another barrage of spears as the previous ones ended.

Delmar had a thought as he saw the incoming spears and moved towards them. Nile watched the scene unfold, slightly shocked by what happened next.

Instead of dodging, Delmar caught the first spear that was about to hit him and used it as a weapon to deflect the others. He used the spear's head to deflect some spears and its body to deflect those that had gotten too close, with quick, masterful swipes.

Nile watched the scene, which seemed straight out of a movie. The monster before him used the spear as if he had mastered its art for many years, deflecting all but a few spears that was not going to injure him.

After Delmar was done deflecting them, he looked at the spear in his hand and then at Nile.

He didn't let Nile fire another barrage of weapons. Instead, he threw the spear with sufficient force toward Niles.

The spear shot toward Nile at breakneck speed. Instead of dodging or using any defensive spell, Nile just stood there, waiting for the spear to come at him. Just as it was about to hit him, it automatically burst into red mist.

The red mist surrounded Nile and momentarily diverted his attention.

In that momentary lapse, Nile knew he had made a colossal mistake as Delmar came blasting through the red mist and punched him straight in the face at point-blank range, sending him flying with much more force this time.

Nile flew and flew until he crashed through a few buildings in the city. Only then did the impact's speed slow down, and he got stuck in a community building.

The buildings hit by Nile's body shook violently, causing their inhabitants to think a beast riot had occurred. And they packed their bags and fled in panic.

The force was so great that the surrounding buildings also felt the tremors. The residents of those buildings also left, but not before a few of them informed the royal force about an impending beast riot.

Delmar stood from where he had hit Nile and saw that the force of the punch had sent him straight into the apartment community.

Delmar thought, "Shit, the guy flew straight towards the city. I shouldn't have hit him so hard. Now I'm sure the royal forces have already been informed."

"I have to quickly take care of this guy and leave this shithole of a city."

He ran for a while to gain some momentum, then made a big jump. Despite his humongous body, he flew through the air and landed two buildings behind where Nile was stuck.

Delmar made one more jump and landed straight in front of Nile. The building felt another shockwave and began to slowly crumble beneath their feet.

Delmar looked at Nile's face and sighed deeply.

Nile's face had morphed into a hideous state. Most of his skin was gone, and what remained was a jaw hanging loosely connected to a few blood vessels.

His left eye had popped out of its socket and hung there until it suddenly fell in front of Delmar. His head was almost non-existent, with only a half-blown-off brain remaining, contained by a crumbling skull.

As Delmar wondered that couldn't get any information from this piece of meat, he suddenly heard a sound. He looked back at Nile and saw that he was still alive, evidenced by the shallow breathing coming from him.

Delmar closed in on the man's half-head and saw that he was indeed still breathing. Astonished by the man's resolve to survive in this state, Delmar gave a dark laugh.

"HAHAHA! Wow, never have I met someone like you who even in this dire state has the will to live."

"But as bad as I am, I'm not cruel enough to let a man suffer by living in such conditions."

He slowly readied his hand to strike the final blow and said his last words to the persevering man.

"Know that you have my utmost respect, as only a few have gotten before they too died."
