MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online - Chapter 273

Chapter 273: Rain of Blessings
Against impossible odds, Adam managed to dodge all the falling arms and even landed a beautiful counterattack!

The Originals grew wild with their cheers.

“Come on!”

“How the hell did he dodge all of those arms?! He is crazy!”

“Go, kill that bastard, please!”

With the cheers growing louder and louder, Calamity snapped his head towards Adam and wiped the blood off his mouth.

“You have surprised me, Adam, but still, you’re inferior.”

Calamity pulled out another katana from his inventory and swung it, but Adam sidestepped to dodge. The katana missed.

However, Calamity continued swinging the katana, and after each swing, the katana’s speed increased until it was a blur of silver in the air.

Missed, missed, and missed.

It was as if Adam knew where the katana was heading before Calamity himself knew and dodged each strike with room to spare.

At that moment, Adam reached out his hand towards the sky as if he were summoning something.

Without allowing him to do that, Calamity rushed at him and stabbed his katana worth, but without moving from his spot, Adam just slightly twisted his waist to the side and made the katana miss him by mere inches.

A greatsword then came crashing down from the sky and fell straight down towards Calamity.

Calamity sensed the incoming sword and dodged out of the time, just in time as the greatsword only a second later embedded itself into the ground where he had just been standing.

Snap!

Adam snapped his fingers, and the greatsword moved up, hovering above the pavement like it was hanging from some invisible strings.

He then wrapped his fingers around the greatsword’s hilt, and pointed its tip towards Calamity.

As Calamity’s eyes narrowed, Adam swung the sword up, barely, but an invisible slash landed a cut across Calamity’s face, leaving a thin trail of blood in its wake.

“?!” Calamity jumped away and clutched his bleeding cheek, stunned by the unexpected attack.

‘How did he manage to hit me from so far away?’

The cold sweat rolled down his face, and once again, he put his katana back to his inventory.

While he would’ve liked to keep battling with katana, it was too risky, as it seemed like in terms of swordsmanship, he was outclassed!

‘I just have to keep using my Transformation Magick!’

Within the depths of his mind, he checked the condition of his mana ocean, and while he still had some reserves left, he knew he had to conserve them wisely.

Instead of creating arms this time around, he created hundreds of fingers on both of his hands and shaped them into sharp claws that could pierce through flesh like butter.

‘Good…’ Adam thought to himself. ‘The illusion worked.’

Without Calamity realizing it, he’d put him under an illusion. It was a very simple illusion. He made it seem like he was standing further away from Calamity than he actually was.

It was so that it would look like he could cut Calamity from further away to give off the wrong sense of strength.

He didn’t want to do a sword battle with Calamity.

He wanted him to keep using Transformation Magick, even though Calamity was clearly stronger in the fight when he was using it.

The hundreds of fingers extended outward and approached Adam from all directions. It looked like hundreds of tentacles trying to snatch him up.

With his greatsword, he slashed through them but couldn’t all of them, and the rest of the fingers grabbed onto him.

“Ice Breath!” He breathed cold air and made all of the fingers turn into ice.

Then, he just flexed his muscles and managed to break free from their grip.

Within Calamity’s right shoulder, more arms sprouted, and he then jumped forward and slammed his punch forward.

Adam placed his greatsword in the way, and once the several punches landed, the ground quaked, and a shockwave rippled outwards.

They exchanged a glance and then entered an explosive fight.

With greatsword cutting through arms, more arms sprouted, and their fight rocked the earth and changed the weather.

The rain started falling as if the world was reacting to the battle between two S-rankers.

In the entirety of the Mortal Online, fights between two S-rankers were extremely rare. These Originals had no idea just how rare of a treat this was.

Any mercenary would pay large sums of money to witness this battle!

While there’d been many sparring matches between S-rankers, a proper deathmatch had never happened before!

Adam and Calamity stopped fighting for a moment as the rain drenched them, both looking up at the sky in awe.

While none of the Originals knew the meaning of the rain, Adam and Calamity knew.

It was raining season, so it shouldn’t be surprise that it rained, but this rain was different.

It was only raining around the area of the fight.

The rest of the city stayed dry.

“Haha, the world is indeed blessing me!” Calamity allowed the rain to soak him as he just laughed.

It was a rain of blessings.

The fight had now been blessed, and whoever emerged victorious would be rewarded.

‘Blessing…’ Adam tightened his grip on the sword.

“Whoo!” Calamity flexed all of his muscles, and from his back, hundreds of arms sprouted that soon resembled some grotesque wings.

“The Wings of the Monster!”

Adam also made his wings reappear, and he then put his greatsword back in his inventory.

In this fight, he needed speed, and his greatsword would hinder him.

Calamity grinned.

Adam looked stoic.

At the same moment, both men rushed forward and slammed their fists together.

The ground cracked and tipped over likeshattered glass, sending debris flying in all directions.

…

With the hours flying by, night soon fell over the city of Sevenfold, and the fog of the mountains rolled in, cloaking the streets in an eerie mist.

On top of the Observatory building, some of the Originals were getting some sleep despite the constant sounds of battles that sounded like thunder was rumbling in the distance.

However, most of the Originals stayed awake and kept watching the fight unfold.

“They had been fighting the whole day now.” Otis said. “And it seems like the fight is far from over still.”

Agnes walked over to him after putting their children to sleep and said, “I don’t think any of us will be getting any rest tonight.”

“As long as the fight lasts, I won’t sleep.” Otis said. “If Adam can’t sleep, neither will I. It would be disrespectful to rest while he’s still fighting.”

“How do you think Raquel is doing?” Agnes asked worriedly as she looked towards the scene of the battle.

Around the battle, every building was in ruins, except one. The one where Raquel was staying.

“I don’t know, but I’ve got a feeling that Adam had been protecting that building just because Raquel is there!” Otis said.

“He is able to do that while also fighting?” Agnes asked in shock. “Those shockwaves could easily destroy that building, but none of them reach it!”

“Yes, because Adam is steering those waves of shockwave away from that building somehow!” Otis said in amazement. “He’s just full of surprises!”

Agnes took a deep breath, leaned over the railing, and shouted. “Adam, you can do it!”

“Calm down, you’re going to wake up our children.” Otis said with a wry smile.

Agnes blushed slightly in embarrassment, but then said. “This frustrates me. Is there nothing we can do to help him?”

“Unfortunately, there isn’t.” Otis said with a sigh. “It is a battle between gods.”
