Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

0160 The Wrath of Gyarados-Kai!

The ship of Contestants existed no more.

A giant whirlpool had appeared where the galley once had been, devouring all pieces of wood, metal, and flesh.

Kai landed in the sea with a booming splash. Gyarados Transformation had enlarged him by a full size, it seemed. He felt fuller; physically, mentally, and spiritually. But, more so than anything, he felt powerful. It wasn't even a buff. It was raw power.

Gyarados-Kai floated waist-up in the sea using his finned tail.

He looked at the notification hovering in front of him, then, notifying him about the killing an Order's Contestant.

However, in the very next moment, he frowned.

Only 1 Kill? Kai realized.

Boom!

Kai didn't even get time to think about dodging it.

The massive Iron Man boomed out of the sea, hugged him, wrapping its metallic arms around his waist, and flew up and up. Two powerful jets were hissing out from its legs, propelling the two of them with a stupendous acceleration.

With the boosted effects of devouring a fresh Magical Creature gone, Gyarados-Kai struggled to escape Charles' inhumane grasp.

He dared not use Telekinesis anymore.

He did have one Ability, though.

Kai's breath rattled as he used Emotions Manipulation to suck out Charles' hope and happiness beyond the metallic layer.

Crack!

Suddenly, thin bolts of electricity snaked around him as the Iron Man let out a massive electric discharge electrocuting Kai. His eyes almost rolled back in his skull, his teeth rubbing against each other, making an eerie sound.

With every foot of height they gained, Kai felt short of breath, losing his senses.

Air was blasting against his ears, and all sounds felt distant. Only a mechanical laugh resounded inside his head, telling a tale of victory.

"No matter what kind of abomination you are," Charles said, his grin tightening around Kai. "You will pop like a balloon upon the impact. Now that would be a sight to see, wouldn't it? Never imagined I would kill a Contestant with Blessing."

Charles had seen Kai flying already. So what he intended to was to double down toward the sea and let go of Kai just before the impact, not giving him any time to survive. With the Mark 1 armor protecting him, the 5th-floor Contestant didn't fear any mortal injury.

Kai knew this very well, too.

The thing was, he couldn't use a Skill anymore. The use of Hyper Beam had sent him in a Cooldown of 5 minutes. He couldn't use any Skill granted by Glitch before that. Not to mention, Kai didn't have any Skill of its own.

All Hidden Missions grant Skills, master, Meg had told him. That's why Contestants accept them despite them being a grade higher than the Main Mission. The only reason I can think of, for you not getting a Skill as Hidden Mission's rewards is, your Luck.

However, it didn't matter anymore.

Even if Kai had possessed a Skill of his own, he couldn't have used it at this moment. Hyper Beam made sure the next activation of any Skill would fail while consuming all the required Mana or Spirituality. This was the price of the power to destroy anything in his path.

Suddenly, Kai brought out his Fangs and clenched the blades between his teeth.

He didn't intend to attack the Iron Man with them. No. It was just to let them remain near the armor.
