Supreme Couple In Apocalypse: Undead King & Demonic Queen

[Dominion Flare Orbs]

_Type: Bloodline skill.

_Cost: 5 Blood Essence & 100 Mana.

_Effect: Conjure a black flare on the tip of the index finger to shoot three thumb-sized orbs at your will.

--> Each orb deals damage equal to 500% of the Magic stat + 200% of the Strength stat of the user.

The damage of this skill was nothing to scoff at as even Lex, a level 200 powerhouse with 1000 in all of his stats, suffered massive damage, dropping his Vitality by 86% and nearing death's door. His leather armor -set was also damaged, the durability of pieces decreasing considerably.

"Arghhh!!" Lex roared against burning flames as his chaotic gadget turned into a pristine blue square shield covering him.

He couldn't defend against this skill, but he had to prevent himself from taking further damage, or he would die!

"You can't win against us, Lex. Stop with your futile struggles," Erix chuckled as he grabbed Rin's waist and teleported near the temple treasure.

"Can you conjure a wormhole in his barrier?" Rin asked as she took out another offense-skill chaos gadget, eager to finish this annoying guy who was hell-bent on killing them.

"Unfortunately, I can't," Erix wryly smiled. Lex was safe until that barrier was no longer present.

'Fuck, fuck, fuck!!' Lex cursed before the flames around him subsided and revealed his charred body that was slowly healing as he gulped healing potions.

"If only I could attack freely instead of fucking relying on chaos gadgets, I would have killed you two in the previous round!"

"How many healing potions are you going to use?" Rin sneered.

The hidden suppression in this Chaos Race event was that the more potions they used, the less effective they would become. Everyone had already found that during the second checkpoint race.

Lex had chugged five potions and poured two on his body, but his Vitality only recovered to 46%.

'Rin, we have to kill him in the next 43 seconds, or he will regain his magic and mana,' Erix said. Once Lex was unsealed, his mobility would increase again.

Due to the nature of this race, this Arcane Seal Bullet had lost its value as only skills from Chaos Gadget could affect others, but Erix still had a plan, and he decided to trust his guts.

Taking out a chaos gadget, he pointed it at Lex.

"Do you even know this barrier's weakness?" Lex took out three more potions. He was half-confident and half-nervous, which was why he took out more potions to heal himself, even though it was not that effective.

"Let's check it out," Erix laughed and took out a chaos gadget.

'That blue barrier is water attributed, but the chaos skills' weaknesses are strange...' Erix thought, and his grip on the chaos gadget tightened.

But he decided to trust his guts and intuition. 'Amidst the storm of chaos, I remain the eye of tranquility.'

Erix was someone who had the thirst to study magic, and the knowledge he gained from the mystical formation that formed after chanting that verse was solidified in him, even if it was not much.

But he knew that this second verse invoked some kind of perception power on a new realm for them, and from what he understood by sensing the structure of that blue barrier, Erix felt that its weakness was...water itself.

As such, he hurled forward the chaos gadget after activating it, causing a long dark blue demonic shark with a single giant wooden horn to materialize as it shot towards Lex.

Lex's face intensely grimaced, which caused Rin's and Erix's eyes to light up.

He deactivated this defense skill and roared, all veins in his body protruding as he exerted the entirety of his physical strength and more to dig his feet onto the ground before shooting into the green forest.

'I have to escape,' Lex sweated with anger bubbling in him and maximizing his senses as he knew Erix's wormholes could send his attack right on his face anytime, and since his mana and magic were still sealed for the next thirty-four seconds, he didn't have any means to dodge the damn attack!

For the first time since his pursuit, he felt a hint of regret, which he immediately squashed as it was not his style to linger on such things.

His priority had changed to escaping and keeping himself alive.

But Erix was also determined to take his life, and he outdid himself.

In a second, ten big wormholes appeared at a ten to tens of meters distance around Lex, and Erix made sure to move them as his bloodthirsty shark entered a wormhole. Erix was fully utilizing his Space Map and wormholes by exerting the full power of his Spirit sense at the cost of pain and pressure.

'No...' Lex's eyes widened, feeling a pot of despair manifesting above him.

'Dodge or defend?' Just as he questioned this, the attack appeared from a wormhole before him, but just as he changed his direction of running, that shark also entered another wormhole and appeared right before him.

In desperation, Lex dodged twice, but Erix didn't intend to hit him with those two attempts in the first place because he intended to make Lex dance on his palm and move him toward his ultimate doom.

When Lex made a turn a fifth time to dodge, a wormhole that greeted him at his face spat out the shark, its jaw wide opened, and its dark blue water body glowing with potent water energy.

*Khraaaaa!!*

With no other choice, Lex wasted another defense skill, but Rin was prepared as she also used a Chaos Gadget, hurling an important offense skill.

The golden spear entered a wormhole and appeared before Lex while the shark entered a wormhole as Erix prevented it from hitting Lex.

Meanwhile, the golden spear's job was to destroy any defense skill. They only had one such skill, but to remove this pest Lex, Rin and Erix decided to use it.

Erix's eyes were bloodshot as he was going past his limit on controlling the wormholes.

The spear struck a triangular dark brown barrier around Lex and erased it.

The spear also vanished, but Lex's soul turned cold.

The shark appeared behind Lex from a wormhole right after his defense was erased and devoured him.
