MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online - Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon
The citizens watched as the winged young man soared across the air.

Calamity’s eyes kept widening more and more as the winged young man kept approaching him.

It only took one second for him to fly from the balcony to the stage.

With the greatsword in hand, Adam put the strength of his very being on the first slash, smashing it down towards the red-haired man without holding back even the slightest!

On Calamity’s left hand, shield appeared out of nowhere, and it was immediately clad with deep purple color.

He was using Kraft immediately as he realized the danger of this strike!

After swinging his shield towards the sword, they collided, and the stage below them shattered and broke.

A strong shockwave traveled across the ground and knocked the citizens off their feet. As soon as they returned from their shocked state, they all started running away in panic.

“How did you find this place, Adam?!” Calamity asked in rage.

“Secret!” Adam gritted his teeth and smashed his sword down once more, but it slid past the shield and smashed into the ground with a thunderous impact.

Calamity used the shield’s smooth surface to deflect the blow!

“You attacked me, why?” Calamity asked with a mixture of confusion and anger.

“To kill you, simple.” Adam said and lifted his sword back up, then rested it against his shoulder.

“Why?” Calamity was full of questions.

“The citizens of this place aren’t very happy with you.” Adam said. “I thought about giving them a hand in exterminating you.”

“Those ungrateful bastards!” Calamity screamed. “I’ve done nothing but protect them!”

“Protect from who?” Adam asked.

“From other players!” Calamity screamed. “If they find out about this place, it would become just like the New World!”

“Then who will protect this place from you?” Adam asked.

“THIS IS MY PARADISE!” Calamity rushed in and threw a straight punch. “I WON’T LET YOU RUIN THIS PLACE!”

Adam blocked the punch with the large blade of his sword, but the ground behind him still cracked and shattered because of the impact.

Back at the balcony, Otis’ breathing quickened, and he quickly said. “We need to leave! This place will turn into a battlefield!”

Agnes helped her children put their coats back on and quickly led them towards the exit.

However, Otis then saw that Raquel wasn’t moving and said, “Royal Princess, we should really leave.”

“I want to keep watching.” Raquel said. “I want to see him die with my very own eyes.”

“This is a battle beyond our control,” Otis said, trying to reason with her. “You’ll risk your life for nothing if you stay.”

“If I die, I’ll be reunited with my family; I am fine with it.” Raquel said and looked at him. “You should go to protect your family.”

Otis clenched his fists, but eventually nodded and ran after his wife and children.

Raquel took a seat by the balcony and watched as the fight raged on.

“Please… kill him.”

…

Calamity made his shield disappear and summoned a sword to his hand. It looked like a katana with a curved blade, and its hilt was adorned with spades.

As the heavy-looking greatsword came crashing down, Calamity sidestepped past it and cut through Adam’s waist.

It was a very nice and quick move.

However, at that moment, he noticed the lack of blood on the katana’s blade and then noticed that below Adam’s clothing, there was nice-looking armor that was clad in purple.

‘Purple Kraft?’ Calamity frowned. ‘Hasn’t it been only one year since he came to the game, and he has already achieved such a feat? His Kiryoku and Magick must be weak then, so I must use them to my advantage!’

He switched his sword grip. He was now holding the sword in a reverse grip and slid the katana’s blade inside his scabbard.

With his one hand on the hilt and the second on the scabbard, he slowly said.

“Quickdraw of Rage, Rage, Rage!”

When the first rage was spoken, the katana started glowing. When the second rage was spoken, the katana transformed into a blazing sword of fire, and when the third rage was spoken, the sword emitted a deafening roar that echoed through the city.

Adam turned over to look at him, and a slight hint of green appeared at the depths of his eyes.

With a lunge, Calamity moved as fast as fiery fire and cut through Adam’s Kraft, through the armor, through the body, and through the soul.

Behind him, Adam got caught in a fire and was consumed by the flames.

“Disappointing.” Calamity said with a smirk. “I guess you really were a fake S-ranker.”

However, since his back was turned on Adam, he didn’t notice that the burning man disappeared into thin air, as if he didn’t exist.

In that moment, the greatsword stabbed through Calamity’s back, causing him to cough blood in a panic.

As the sword headed towards his heart, Calamity quickly moved his heart just a few centimeters to the left, which was enough to avoid the lethal blow.

However, the sword still went through his entire body.

‘I didn’t hit the heart. He managed to avoid it?’ Adam stared in disbelief.

“Ember Spark!” Calamity coughed and turned into embers before Adam’s eyes.

A slight distance away, Calamity appeared on top of a roof and immediately gulped down a flask to heal the massive wound on his chest and back.

However, the damage was still done.

[Calamity – HP: 1005/1650]

By the balcony, Raquel trembled in excitement. “Yes, yes!”

Running across the streets, Otis heard some commotion among the other Originals and also turned around to look towards the fight.

He just managed to see the confrontation.

“H-he actually wounded him!”

The Originals looked at each other with an equally stunned expression. They started hoping. Could it be that their days of pain and suffering were over?

Agnes teared up and covered her mouth. “Little Adam is actually doing it.”

However, at the grand balcony of the crimson castle, three rulers of the underground looked incredibly displeased.

After Calamity’s speech, they were supposed to have a meeting to discuss the future of the underground business.

“What the hell is Calamity doing?” Khashifa, the Queen of Pleasure, asked in anger. “If he falls here, we fall!”

“And where the hell is Fakhir?” Waleed, King of Bloodshed, asked. “He should be here by now!”

“That clearly doesn’t matter now!” Yusriyah, The Queen of Gambling, said. “Another player has clearly appeared. If Calamity loses…”

“What if that second player also wants to work with us?” Waleed asked. “The underground business is making more money than ever before. He might be tempted.”

“True, this fight might be about the throne.” Khashifa said. “Whatever happens, we’ll need to secure our future. If Calamity loses, let’s talk to this player.”

“Sounds like a deal.”

At the fight, Calamity shook his head. “No, no, no, no!”

On his hand, the katana still burned, but its blade had already turned black, and its power was fading.

As soon as the flames died down, the blade turned to ash and fell through the gaps of his fingers.

“Hahahaha!” Calamity jumped off the roof and pointed his right arm randomly towards the right.

‘Don’t lower your guard!’ Adam said to himself. ‘This is Calamity, one of the greatest talents to have ever been born. He’ll be now more dangerous than ever before!’

Within Calamity’s right arm, his muscles started to twitch and turn a deep shade of crimson. Under his mortal flesh, hundreds of arms started to sprout, making his right arm look like a horrifying monster from a nightmare.

“Transformation Magick, Thousand-Arm Monster of Armageddon!”
