MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online - Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Silenced
Koil screamed like a wild animal and swung his long hammer around with reckless abandon.

Adam jumped over the ferocious blows and landed a few small strikes of his own.

A few scratches appeared all around Koil’s body. The scratches stung, but only served to fuel his rage further.

At that moment, he raised his hammer way above his head. He was only holding the hammer at the long handle’s end.

“Ground King!” Koil shouted out his skill’s name and then brought the hammer down.

‘That skill looks familiar!’

Adam thought quickly, and then used his skill—Little God—for a brief second and jumped away with increased speed.

It helped him gain a sizeable distance.

At that moment, the hammer landed on the ground and shook the ground with its immense force.

Everyone else started stumbling and falling to the ground.

Ground King was a Rare skill that was often used by Tanks to disturb enemies and gain focus on the enemy’s aggro. It was a very destructive and chaotic skill.

In the hands of more powerful mercenaries, it could cause catastrophic devastation.

Adam landed back on the ground after escaping the Ground King skill successfully.

He was also in possession of this skill in his previous life. It surprised him that Koil was in possession of this skill.

‘It is quite hard to learn, but I guess it helps that Koil has a strong body I didn’t expect to find someone with Rare skill here…’

“Shield Charge!” Koil, immediately after, used another one of his skill and rushed after Adam with his heavy shield, acting as an offensive weapon.

Adam wanted to dodge, but then his feet started hurting. It felt like he just stepped on a bed of sharp rocks.

‘Rgh, it’s because Little God…’

Koil bashed his shield into Adam and sent him flying through the air.

Adam crashed into the tree, feeling the impact reverberate through his entire body.

“Agh!”

[-50 HP]

[-35 HP]

‘Shit… that shield is also a pretty good weapon that can do even greater damage than my sword…’

Adam slowly climbed back to his feet, blood dripping from his mouth.

Without giving him any time to rest, Koil rushed in and brought his hammer down.

Adam quickly rolled out of the way, and once the hammer smashed through the ground, he pulled out his steel shortsword and sliced through Koil’s knees.

“Ah!” Koil dropped down on his knees, which were bleeding heavily.

Adam slashed his sword towards his neck, but Koil quickly blocked it with his hammer’s long handle. The sparks flew as their weapons clashed, creating a shower of fiery embers.

“Argh!” Koil started overpowering Adam with his immense physical strength and pushed the sword back at Adam with his hammer.

“Tch…” Adam clicked his tongue, and then his eyes started glowing with a hint of green.

He used Little God’s illusion ability!

Koil’s eyes shrank in shock as, in his eyes, Adam suddenly vanished into thin air.

‘W-where?’

However, Adam was still there, just invincible in his eyes. It was an illusion that would only last one or two seconds.

Since Koil didn’t see him anywhere, he stopped pushing his hammer forward.

Adam pulled back his sword, grabbed Koil by the back of his head, and sliced his sword through his neck. Blood spurted out like a fountain.

Koil gasped in shock, and then the illusion stopped, and Adam appeared right in front of him.

He quickly pushed him away and started holding his bleeding neck.

“R-Rae, I-I need help…”

With great struggle, he shouted for help weakly.

“Tch!” Rae clicked her tongue in irritation.

She wasn’t in any position to help anybody else.

Knoxx followed after her like a possessed demon. However, every sword attack of his missed the target.

Rae nimbly and effortlessly evaded each strike.

‘User of Kiryoku… troublesome…’ Knoxx thought with a scoff. ‘However, she can’t win just by dodging. Using Kiryoku drains her of stamina.

‘She needs stamina to use her spells. So, the more she keeps dodging, the less energy she’ll have left for any offensive moves!’

‘Annoying…’ Rae thought and saw a few rocks lying on the ground.

She had an idea, and she quickly waved her wand.

“Weak Telekinesis!”

It was one of the skills that was fastest to cast.

She started to manipulate the small rocks on the ground and then made them levitate.

Then, with a wave of her wand, the rocks flew straight towards Knoxx like bullets.

“Hmph, Atom Slasher!” Knoxx slashed through the rocks with incredible accuracy and speed.

However, without realizing it, the moment it took Knoxx to slice through the rocks allowed Rae to gain the desired distance between them and execute her next spell.

A whirlpool of wind started to appear in front of her wand.

“Wind of Madness!” She quickly chanted her incantation and waved her wand in a circular motion.

‘Not good!’ Knoxx planned to dodge, but at that moment, he remembered that Hana was behind her.

He couldn’t just abandon her and let her face the spell alone.

It would mean the death of her!

‘Shit!’ Knoxx put his sword in front of him and braced for the impact.

“Hmph, fool.” Rae grinned and then did a final wave with her wand.

Swoosh!

At that moment, a flash of silver appeared from her peripheral vision, and a sharp blade cut straight through Rae’s wrist before she could finish her spell.

The hand that was still holding the wand flew through the air and then landed on the ground, right beside the campfire.

“A-ah… ahh…” Rae began screaming in agony as she clutched her bleeding wrist.

Knoxx looked surprised and turned to look at the person who attacked her.

It was none other than Adam.

‘B-but, wasn’t he fighting just now…’ Knoxx turned to Koil, only to see him lying on the ground with a blank look and a pool of blood around him.

Koil had been defeated and killed!

“H-how…” Rae quickly backed away from Adam with a frightened expression. ‘I couldn’t sense his attacking intent? How!’

“Adam!” Hana exclaimed in excitement.

“Not looking good, isn’t that right?” Adam said to Rae with a cold look.

‘W-where are others…’

As she looked around the campsite, she realized a terrifying truth. They were losing horribly.

‘How are we losing? We had two Ordergivers and a number advantage… What in the world happened?’

After seeing the rest of her subordinates die, she realized there was nothing else to do.

She gritted her teeth, and with her last remaining hand, she took out a bottle of Forgot Powder.

‘I’ll need to make everyone forget first before using the bomb… I can’t let any one of them remember a thing!’

“Not happening!” Knoxx suddenly came and sliced through Rae’s last remaining hand.

The bottle of Forget Powder fell to the ground and spilled everywhere.

“Aaargh!” The handless Rae screamed in utter pain.

Even though the pain wasn’t as severe as in real life, it still hurt like hell to lose a limb!

However, she didn’t need her hands.

She opened her inventory and made everything spill out. It included the bomb that was hidden inside a box.

‘Her attacking intent is at an all-time high. Does she have another plan?’

Adam thought with a frown, but he didn’t plan to allow her to do anything.

He moved to her and sliced through her legs with his sword. Now, even her legs were rendered useless, and she was unable to move.

“No…” Rae fell head-first on the ground and tried to crawl towards the box, planning to use her teeth to open it.

“What is this?” Adam picked up the box and curiously checked it out.

“G-give it back, fucker!” Rae screamed.

“Quiet.” Adam casually slashed his sword down and cut Rae’s head off.

With that, Rae was silenced.
