Tyrant(2/2)

Sparks flew out of my Sharpened nail I struggled to hold back the attack sent by the Soul Master. My nail began to break down from the pressure I began to panic 'What can I do!? Maybe Integration can consume the attack?' I thought.

[*Integration can't consume attacks.*]

'Damn it...Wait I have a plan it's finally time to make Gello useful.' I thought. I stopped attacking and jumped up the heat emitted from the attack made me start sweating. I used Gello on the floor the impact of it hitting the floor made me fly upwards.

Gello has enough strength to dent metal it couldn't break it but the force was enough to launch me due to my size and weight.

Excursion: "HAHAHAHA! I'm like a fucking cockroach you can't kill me!"

The Soul Master fired five attacks at me I was quick to react I weaved through the orbs dodging them completely. 'Alright, how do I escape? Maybe I should get him to weaken one of the walls.' I thought.

Soul Mast- Actually he should be called Soul Tyrant as he was physically stronger than his past self due to the overflow of soul in his body. So Soul Tyrant had a look of agony as his body showed injuries.

No bug should be able to handle that much soul and that was still true for the Soul Tyrant. The soul in his body was looking for ways to escape and when it found no openings it started to make some.

The Soul Tyrant launched himself at me I ran at him too. When we were about to collide I moved to the side Soul Tyrant hit the wall denting it he shook his head and summoned ten orbs.

Instead of firing them, he moved around the area while they circled around him. I weaved through some of them but one hit me in the chest. For some reason when it hit me there I felt excruciating pain it was like I was having salt poured on a wound but a thousand times worse.

I held my chest and watched as a small head peeked out from it. This was Gello's head I was curious as to why it was still there even though I couldn't use the item. But I had to push that curiosity to the side as the Soul Tyrant sent his orbs to me.

I dodged five of them and jumped over the rest making them hit the wall. I could see some light leak through a tiny hole I ran across the squishy dead bodies with haste. I looked at the small hole in the wall and looked at the Soul Tyrant.

He smiled he probably thought that I was cornered. He charged at me if I could I would've smiled at him. I jumped upwards as the Soul Tyrant hit the wall breaking it open.

The Soul Tyrant was getting up I ran to a manhole lid and opened it by stomping on it five times. I went down the hole and the horrible stench filled my nose I ran through the sewers. 'Alright, I will just hide here for a bit and let the Soul Master forget about me. Damn, I also got to find a replacement for my Sharpened Nail.' I thought.

'Tsk, what does that bug think he put himself in a corner.' I thought as I charged at him.n My victory was assured for I was a God he was only an insect. However, I might not be a god for long. The amount of soul I took in is starting to strain my body I had to keep my mouth shut in fear of the soul escaping my body.

I was closing in on that insect when he jumped over me and made me slam into the metal wall. My head was spinning but I could see him hopping into the sewers. My vision returned to me and my anger couldn't be described in mere words.

Soul Master: "I'LL KILL YOOOOOUUUU!!!!"

A blinding light came out of my eyes and mouth it flew up into the sky. 'All of that soul wasted...Years of collection bugs and draining them just to be wasted.' I thought. No insect went near me while I was angered.

Soul Master: "Curse you... You humiliated me, took away my chance at Godhood and Immortality. I swear on my name I will kill you!"

I started to fly and looked at my building. It was filled with holes from our battle 'This will take a while to fix.' I thought.

Around the City Of Tears, many citizens were informed of the battle from the newspapers. Many were left with questions 'When will things be normal again?' 'I wonder who was that bug who fought the Soul Master?' many were left without answers.

The Pale King sat on his throne with his hands on a newspaper he read it slowly. 'Hmmm?' He thought as he looked at one part of the newspaper. It talked about a strange bug who fought with the Soul Master. Usually, he would shrug this off but he felt like this was important it was a gut feeling.

He continued through the newspaper and saw an image of the bug drawn by a witness. The Pale King widened his eyes in surprise he looked at one of the guards beside him and said.

Pale King: "Prepare a ride."

The Kingsmould nodded and left the room the Pale King looked at the paper one more time and thought 'To think that Herrah lied to me. I guess it can be expected from a person raised by savages.'

The Pale King stood up and looked at the small figure beside him and thought 'We don't have that much time left the Radiance is appearing more and more in my dreams. She is getting more powerful.' he thought.

Pale King: "Follow me."

The small bug had no emotion he just followed the Pale King like a robot.
