《Post-Living》Chapter 9: The Reaper!
Advertisement
Kiie: Now, all OF YOU! ATTACK ALL AT ONCE!
Nyx: Waaaaiiittttt.
Crap, if all of them attack at once, everyone will die.. hmmmmm.
Kiie: Ohoho, a death plea? Let me hear it.
Nyx: Stop! Wait, let them all go.
Haha, this won't work.
Kiie: And why should I do that, exactly?
Hmm, why should he...
Nyx: If you let these people go, they'll pretend to treat you as a hero! You would get fame and fortune, as the one who defeated the guy who literally massacred an entire city's army. Wouldn't that be nice..?
Kiie: So what, it's not like I'd get something for that.
Nyx: Fame.. and fortune. Haven't you heard what I said?
Kiie: No, I meant I don't need it.
Nyx: More fame = More men. Think about it. If you let them all go, they'll spread the news. It would be easy as long as they won't say the correct things. Which, if they do, you can hunt them for it.
Kiie's eyes lit up. He eventually let them all go while some remained. Those "some" are, of course, my team. Xiel, Reus, Vor, and the guy who almost escaped with the rest but Vor dragged him back, Chris.
What the hell is their deal? They can't fight an army, let alone hundreds of guys in robes, their dead leader, and dINOSAURS, GOD THEY SHOULD'VE JUST LEFT!
Kiie: I guess their stupidity comes from their leader.
Xiel: HEY! I'M THE LEADER OF THIS TEAM!
Kiie: You don't.. seem like one. Heh.
Nyx: Why the hell did you guys stay? This is a deathwish.. for you guys.
Xiel: Yeah, but we're only going to watch.
Nyx: What?
Chris: Oh, so we're not fighting? Woo, I almost thought we were.
Xiel: We're not going to. Probably.
Chris: Probably?!?
Reus: Oh, stop being such a pussy.
Did.. did Reus.. just say that? Damn.
Chris: Yeah, but I'm just trying to rationalize our current situation. It's like were sprinting towards a brick wall that you're pretending isn't there. So tell me, how the hell can we survive if we fight?
Kiie: He's right, you know.
Nyx: Hey, he's not wrong.
Kiie: So what now, Nyx? My people's tired of watching you argue with what little time you have.
He puts out his whip, and slashed it on the dinosaur.
Kiie: Uh oh, I guess they're all angry. What now.. Nyx?
Nyx: If I destroy all your troops, can I have the dinosaur?
Kiie: Dino..saur?
Nyx: The big beast over there.
Kiie: Oh, you mean, my Dein?
Nyx: Uhh, whatever that's called here.

Kiie: Heh, take it if you can.
Nyx: Gladly.
He ran straight ahead, preparing to charge.
All of the people wearing robes casted a fireball spell to Nyx, creating a huge explosion that can be seen in the air, also roasting Nyx alive.
Kiie: Ahhhh, such a waste. All that talk and this is what I get?! THIS IS WHAT I GET? I AM SEVERELY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THIS. COME ON, NYX, AFTER ALL THAT? What a joke, come on, we'll be rebuilding this place again. I can't afford to buy another mansion, those are pricey as hell.
Nyx: You can't afford a mansion, but you can afford a dinosaur? That's a bit of a stretch, don't you think?
Kiie: uh..uh... how?!?!
Nyx: Hm?
Kiie: You.. you WERE ROASTED ALIVE! HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE!
Nyx: Oh, you haven't figured it out?
Kiie: Hahahaha, don't tell me...
*Grins*
Nyx: Bitch, I'm immortal.
Then Nyx proceeded to punch all the wizards that he mostly encounters. Nyx was very familiar with Martial Arts, and he proceeded to beat the hell out of the wizards that attacks him.
Nyx: Hey, Kiie. Is this all you've got? haha.
Kiie: ...let's think this through, Nyx.
Nyx stopped while mid-punching the wizard.
Kiie: If you kill me, right here, right now. Do you think The Order of the 5 Knights will let you live after this?
Nyx: I hope not.
Kiie: The Order of the 5 Knights, do you know who runs them?
Nyx: I never even heard of them until now. Please, do tell me who.
Kiie: The Order is ran by the most powerful entities here in this world, the so-called Heroes.
Nyx: And I should care.. because?
Kiie: Those people control everything in these lands. They are basically the kings of the world.
Nyx: So what, I killed a king before.
Wizards are still attacking Nyx, burning him, electrocuting him, freezing him alive but he still doesn't even notice those attacks. Kiie, on the other hand, is basically grasping and is trying to convince Nyx.
Kiie: I'm telling you, they won't let you go. They'll continue to hunt you for the rest of your life.
Nyx: That's a pretty contradictory statement.
Kiie: I don't care, they'll make your life a living hell.
Nyx: Not unless no one tells them, am I right? (Skree. I guess it's time to show yourself now)
Kiie: Skree? Who's-
Kiie's hands opened up, and a dark flame engulfed him. Then suddenly, the scythe, Skree, made his debut on the battlefield.
Nyx: ALRIGHT, SKREE! DESTROY EVERYTHING ON SIGHT!
Skree: HELL YEAH!

Nyx: GETSUGA TENSHOU!
Skree: Originality, Nyx! Nice!
Every slash that Skree makes creates a black shockwave in a form of a slash. Nyx used it to mow every living thing in sight. Kiie, while trembling, laughed.
Kiie: hahhahahAHAHAHAHAH!
He lost it.
Kiie: YOU THINK YOU HAD ME, HUH, NYX?! WELL, TOO FUCKING BAD, I THINK YOU'RE FORGETTING SOMETHING.
A slash has pierced through the grounds. It wasn't from Skree.
The slash came from the mutated sword hand of a certain someone, Riel.
Xiel: RIEEEEL! PLEASE! SNAP OUT OF IT!
Her words couldn't reach him. They were several meters apart.
Xiel ran to Nyx's side, just to say one thing.
Xiel: Don't kill him, please.
Nyx: ...
Xiel: Please...
Nyx: No promises. He's dead, Xiel. You can't bring him back. Look at him, does he really want to be here? Look.
Riel's face doesn't show any emotions.
Nyx: See?
Xiel: ...
Nyx: He's like me. I need to kill him, now.
Xiel: You aren't emotionless.
Nyx: Uhh, yes, I am.
Xiel: Bullcrap, everytime I see you battle or raid dungeons, you smile. Everytime Vor gets into something reckless, you stop him. Stop wearing that damn mask, and show your true colors.
What the hell is she spouting? All I remember from this world is more suffering.
Xiel: Also....end my brother..please. It's hard to see him like this..
Nyx: Ahh, he's lucky.
Kiie: RIEL! KILL HIM!
Riel charged and slashed Nyx, but Nyx blocked it with Skree. Riel, getting more and more faster, kept slicing Nyx but Nyx kept blocking everything that Riel throws.
Riel then chopped off his sword arm, and began shooting it at Nyx.
Still emotionless, he chopped it off again, and again. His regeneration is a bit slower than Nyx, but he still uses it more effectively due to him manipulating certain structures of the body. Kinda like body enhancements and hardening, Nyx thought.
Nyx then did his earlier move, and continued slashing and slashing, forming really big shockwaves. Riel dodged all of it by jumping, but Nyx quickly jumped up and grabbed his foot, slamming him right into the ground. Nyx then aimed his scythe in his chest, but Riel, who was stuck in the ground, still blocked it by hardening his arm.
Nyx: (Damn, he's good. I need to know how to kill him, and I think I know how. His body is like liquid, but he can harden it. It seems like he can't harden his chest, or parts that are very vulnerable, like the head, that's why he blocked my scythe earlier instead of just hardening his chest. Isn't that right, Kiie?)
Kiie: Khsht!
Nyx: God, that's cliche.
Nyx then reversed time, and teleported behind Riel. Then, he grabbed his neck, and threw him in the air. Nyx then did the same move, then using his scythe, he slashed rapidly in the air. Riel tried to harden himself, but it was too late as the shockwave sliced his arm, without even him knowing it. Then, shockwaves and shockwaves of slashes bombarded Riel's whole body. The shockwaves destroyed Riel's core, ultimately ending his suffering.
Riel: ....
Nyx: Oh, how I wish to be in your place right now. At least, you can sleep now. Bye.
Like the demons, Riel's body turned into ashes.
Xiel: ....
Everything is destroyed. No one is alive, except Kiie.
Kiie: Look, Nyx, please. I could, I could help you!
Nyx: Help? Heh, like hell I would let you. Look at what you fucking did to Xiel, and to all these people. If I learned anything today, it's that I don't want you to die yet.
Kiie: Re-really?
Nyx: I want to make you suffer, probably cut your hands off, and legs. Then cut your mouth off, how's that sound?
Kiie: ....
Nyx: Yeah, too cruel for me either.
Nyx then proceeded to cut his arms first, then his feet.
Nyx: Any last words..?
Kiie couldn't speak. The sight that remained is engraved in Kiie's mind, and he said..
Kiie: The... You're.. You'RE DEATH! THE REAPER! YOU'RE NOT HUMA-
Nyx: Heh.
Nyx then cut off his head, killing him.
Nyx: Woooo, well what's done is done. I regret nothing. Alright, nothing to do here, now. Hey, Vor, come on, let's go.
Reus, Chris, and Xiel was in shock of what they have witnessed. A real monster.
Xiel: N-Nyx!
Nyx: Yeah?
Chris: P-please take me with you!
Xiel: M-me too!
Reus: Xiel, are you actually...?
Xiel: Yeah, he's the one who ended my brother's suffering. I owe him one.
Reus: Then I guess I'll join in too.
Nyx: WHO THE HELL TOLD ALL OF YOU THAT YOU COULD JOIN IN?!
Xiel: I know the passcode of that vault he keeps his diamonds in.
Nyx: Wait, seriously? The diamonds are real?
Xiel: Uhh, yeah.
Nyx: Then TELL ME!
Xiel: Ok~ay, only if you let us in first. I'll take care of the diamonds, and you just protect us. Sounds like a deal?
Nyx: *sigh* I guess. I even accidentally killed the dinosaurs, damn it.
More people to protect, more problems that will arise. Also the dinosaurs are dead.
Nyx's day ended with another loss.

The leader of the only mercenary squad capable of standing in the enemy's way would be content if his ex-girlfriend and business partner promised not to stab him again.

Ezekiel claims Dekker will responsible for the annihilation of all reality--but worse, he knows all of Dekker's secrets: that he wields an ancient, celestial weapon, was once married to a terrorist, and is the last member of the Watchmen--an ancient secret society with one purpose. At Ezekiel's insistence, and with a super-weapon in the hands of warring armies, Dekker and his team must do the unthinkable to prevent the Sun's annihilation before his archenemy can bring what Ezekiel calls "the divine engines of reality" to a grinding halt--breaking all of existence--destroying all that is, will be, and ever was!
