I Own EVERY Class in This World: Life Set to HELL Mode! - Chapter 153

Chapter 153: Silent Killing in the Darkness
“REAP SPIRIT, ETERNAL DARKNESS,” after Soulayer entered [Enraged] mode as Stark tried to hit the jar between its neck, it suddenly activated two skills.

…

[Skill: Reap Spirit]

[Description:] Soulayer can harvest the souls of fallen foes to strengthen itself during battle, however there is a limit to that, and the backlash it receives can be very high if it uses too much power

…

[Skill: Eternal Darkness]

[Description:] Plunges the world into darkness, giving it an incredible advantage as it is used to fight in the dark because of the [Soul Graveyard] rift.

…

‘Soul Graveyard…?’ was what confused Stark the most, doesn’t that mean this monster was in another much more powerful rift, yet came to this one and became a boss.

In the end, he didn’t have the time to think too much about it since…

“REAP SPIRIT,” Soulayer kneeled down, then put both of its arms inside of the black water.

~FWISH, FWISH~

Souls started rushing toward it like a black hole, swirling around its arms before entering its body.

The aura around it also steadily began to go from crimson to full on greenish.

The ground beneath them trembled slightly as the souls were being absorbed at an alarming rate.

And once it finished that, its body emitted waves of soul aura that could make most classifiers at its level faint.

Then without wasting a single second…

“ETERNAL DARKNESS!” Soulayer’s muffled and incomprehensible voice echoed through the area as everything around them was engulfed in pitch-black darkness.

Everything around Stark became pitch-black, and it was truly impossible to see even one centimeter in front of you.

Basically… this battle was now in full-on darkness, where none of the opponents knew where which one was, and where attacking from behind could grant you immediate victory.

‘CLONE FRENZY!’ as soon as he was engulfed by the darkness, Stark summoned his three clones, positioning them around the area.

He couldn’t see them because of how dark it was, but he could sense their auras, and it also gave him three additional pairs of eyes as they would alert him if they saw the boss.

[Focus] didn’t work, and he couldn’t sense any aura from the boss, this skill was certainly something he’d never faced before, but he had to adapt quickly.

But as he thought of that…

“DEATH’S EMBRACE!” Stark had a bad feeling, but when he looked behind, he found nothing.

‘…?’

~SCRWITCH, SLASH~

“-83719!” it wasn’t him that sensed it, but one of his clones, and it died.

…

[Skill: Death’s Embrace]

[Description:] Do not let him catch you in the darkness.

…

For a moment, Stark froze.

The loss of one of his clones was unexpected and unsettling, especially since Soulayer was supposed to not be able to see as well, right?!

~SCRWITCH, SLASH~

“-90310!” yet another one of his clones was caught by Soulayer and killed.

But this time…

“AURA SMASH!” Stark sent three fists in the direction the clone had died.

~BOOM, BOOM, BOOM~

And all three hit as Soulayer was too busy holding onto the clone, thinking that it was Stark.

“-32812! -34019! -33124!” over 100K points of damage in one go, and this made Stark smiled: he still had one more clone, and it meant one more opportunity to deal damage.

From the short amount of information he got from his clones though, it seemed like Soulayer had actually dropped his greatsword, or just unsummoned it, as he didn’t have it equipped, instead he was just using his hands to catch his preys in the dark, almost like some horror movie villain.

It was a game of cat and mouse in the dark, where the mouse could only fight back using the little information it had available to it.

[Death’s Embrace] combined to [Reap Spirit] massively increased Soulayer’s speed, stealth, intelligence, and the aura around his hands was extremely overwhelming, small souls floating around it.

And now… it was looking for Stark, the real one that is.

‘Hahahahahah…’ Stark’s grin widened as he knew exactly what to do.

He immediately dashed in the opposite direction to where the Soulayer and his clone were, making to stop right before the gray mist that could kill him.

And then…

‘TRANSFER,’ he focused his aura into his body, then his eyes, and sent all of it toward the eyes of the clone that was still in the mist.

And when he opened his eyes again… he found himself in the body of the clone.

‘Nice…’

He knew that leaving his real body alone, with no way to know what would happen to it, but he put all the chances to his side when he knew that Soulayer was mostly in the area of the third clone, meaning it would be very unlikely for it to go toward Stark.

But just as Stark was about to start looking for Soulayer… he felt an intense aura right behind him.

[He is behind you…]

‘=)’ but this didn’t scare Stark in the slightest, instead it actually was exactly what he wanted.

~FWISH~

Soulayer raised his soul-filled arms and tried to grab Stark’s clone body to kill it from behind.

“INVINCIBLE DODGE!” but he just backed away, pinpointing the location of Soulayer as to not lose track of where he was.

And then…

“AURA SMASH… MERGE!” Stark began to charge up his crimson fists, forced to hold his right hand’s wrist as to not immediately explode since the clones didn’t have enough power or aura to actually send the attack.

But it didn’t matter to begin with, since… Stark planned to do a [Clone Suicide]… this was his plan to deal massive damage.

“…” even through the darkness of it all, Stark could somehow sense Soulayer getting closer and closer, attempting to take the boy from behind again.

He was like a true assassin, and so it did make Stark wonder just what the hell happened inside the [Soul Graveyard] rift for a monster (or possibly human?) to turn into a rift boss…?

‘…’

~FWISH~

Soulayer was already behind Stark once he charged up his [Aura Smash] attack to its maximum, any more and it would explode.

‘GOTCHA!’ was what Soulayer must have probably thought as it reached to grab Stark’s torso and began to tear it apart.

But…

“IDIOT~” Stark turned his head toward Soulayer, a grin so malicious and wicked on it that even the boss trembled slightly when seeing it, sending a shiver down its spine.

And then… what had to happen happened.

~FWISHHHH~

Even though the clone’s body was being thorn to shreds by the soul hands of the boss, its body suddenly became to bloom with an unimaginable aura, an aura that could blow anyone away who was unlucky enough to be caught in the radius.

This was [Clone Suicide].

~BOOOOOMM~

The boss was sent very far away, and some of the bandages around its body parts were burned by the sheer power of the attack.

In addition to that, it couldn’t defend itself much since it prioritized putting its arms in front of the jar to protect it.

“-192713!” the damage was out of this world, and even Soulayer was affected by such an attack, forcing it to deactivate both [Eternal Darkness] and [Reap Spirit].

Suddenly, the arena went back to normal, and the Stark that was hiding in the corner woke up again as the consciousness of the real one took over again.

[Soulayer HP: 64663/420000]

It truly was the final showdown now, and Stark felt confident as he still had a bit of time on his hand.

Or did he now…

~DING~

[Classifier B has reached level 50!]
