Oxygen inside the ruins was getting thinner. Now there was only a dizziness that slowly struck his head. Even his vision was gradually starting to blur.
Not to mention if he had to face the four remaining large monsters. Finding a way out starting from now would be very difficult.
'That earlier was just my luck,' he thought with full awareness. The previous fight was won because of a very good factor.
Now he stood with a tense face. It was impossible for an ordinary person to just surrender their life like that.
His mind told him to give up, but Celis himself considered giving up a bad thing.
'I should try the previous attack.'
He remembered the slashing attack that killed the wolves in the blink of an eye. Something beyond reason was created like an abstract killing machine formed because every world's aspect had secret knowledge.
Celis prepared his spear again, the adrenaline in his chest burning hotter. Several times his hand flicked the spear with dried blood stains still clinging to the blade.
He smiled madly, whether his mind had started to resign or something else he didn't understand. Like a mad warrior who loved battle to satisfy his strange desire.
Now the remaining monsters didn't need to wait long to finish Celis. They ran fast toward him—some of them carrying weapons in the form of clubs made of hard stone.
They roared so loudly it deafened anyone's ears, not to mention this was a closed room.
Celis already stood straight waiting for the attack that could come at any time, his eyes focused on them. His chaotic mind he forced to stay under control.
This was indeed very heavy for him; in other words, there was no different choice except the great risk he had to bear.
"Come at me, you ugly creatures!" he shouted loudly so that his slightly fallen resolve would rise again.
Celis leaped quite high, then attacked one of them that was holding a weapon. The spear he held with both hands was pulled back before he delivered a vertical strike.
Instantly the spear swung powerfully—
Clang!
Sparks were triggered because the spear attack was successfully blocked by the stone club.
Celis was shocked, his eyes widened and his heartbeat beat faster and more irregular.
Added to that was the atmosphere of air that was slowly starting to run out for his body to receive.
'Damn, I'm finished,' he thought with full resignation.
The ogre that easily blocked the attack seemed to grin from behind its weapon. The mockery in its gaze toward Celis was clear with the intent to belittle.
Before he could think, the other remaining ogres began charging at Celis with brutality.
The young man understood that his current attack was in vain. He chose to retreat first.
He pulled the spear that was still stuck, performed a somersault, then used the ogre's large club as a foothold to leap.
His action this time succeeded smoothly.
"This is troublesome…" he hissed in annoyance.
"Oh right, I have a new ability—"
Before the sentence he uttered finished, a large ogre suddenly blocked his running path.
He thought the remaining group of ogres would have difficulty chasing—especially with their large bodies in a narrow corridor. But when he looked back, the world seemed to slow down because time was moving outside the laws of causality—
Now he could only think of a revised plan that had to be applied.
Because of the additional monster, their number returned to five. Same as before. Now they had the advantage in numbers… no… Celis even still had to bet his life if facing them one-on-one fairly.
Time returned to normal. Celis took advantage of this unreasonable phenomenon to save his life.
The attack from the ogre that blocked him earlier was successfully avoided. Now only he could determine the step that had to be taken.
Besides that, there was a crucial problem regarding his biological body that had already run out of energy.
"I can't hold on anymore… keugh!" He vomited a little fresh blood from his mouth. His body then fell to the floor in a kneeling position.
His face now grimaced in pain because of the force to keep fighting.
'Will death come for me?' The painful shadow of death began to appear in his mind.
The gaze that was previously bright had become empty. It was no longer worthy to continue the fight in this condition.
The five monsters there did not immediately charge at him—rather they stood and laughed at that weak little creature.
Celis's gaze now became filled with hatred; he clenched his teeth tightly while staring at them.
'You damn creatures! I will kill you all! Kill! Kill! Kill!' Great hatred began to manifest in the current situation.
'Those trash who are laughing at me must be eliminated without mercy.'
Even memories of the past full of insults directed at him began to return. Belittling gazes, cynical smiles, and their cruelty had robbed a small child's happiness.
"At least I will finish you all with this even if my body is destroyed!" he shouted loudly.
The five ogres looked surprised by that little creature. But they were very curious what would happen to the young man if torture was applied to that small body.
Kwahaaarghh!
The ogres charged with bloodthirsty intent. Now they were really going to kill the young man.
Celis stood in a fighting stance to activate the technique from the Lunar Slash ability.
The thin air in the ruins he inhaled deeply. Thin energy began to be absorbed into his body, carried by the blood cells that never stopped working.
"Keugh!" His chest hurt more as he inhaled more air. But he continued this action.
'I will slash them, 4 slashes… no—this is not enough.'
Before launching the attack, he kicked a stone rubble hard. The stone he kicked hard shattered into dust that blocked their vision.
When the ogres were almost reaching Celis, they didn't realize that Celis had already disappeared from their sight. They had lost the young man because of the flying dust.
They looked annoyed at the action of the little insect.
They roared loudly again.
Behind the loud roars, there was a small dangerous whisper that could end an existence.
"Lunar Slash…"
The voice sounded from the side of the ogres. They were shocked to see that the young man had successfully tricked them.
The ogres were now filled with rage because they had been toyed with by a stinking brat.
Celis was still waiting for the right time to launch the attack.
He slowly flicked the spear backward with the tip still straight following the flow. His movement was still not perfect. He immediately swung the spear horizontally toward the ogres.
Then a black slashing flash that flew like a crescent moon charged at them. This slashing wave was extremely deadly like endless cuts.
The ogres realized there was a wide-area slashing attack heading toward them. Before it arrived, they immediately formed a formation to block the attack. But this was the mistake that became the end.
The ogres' blocks were pierced by the wave of sharp black blades. Their bodies were split into two parts.
They screamed very loudly before finally perishing.
Celis seemed to smile, indicating that he was satisfied.
"I don't need to kill them one by one. I only strengthened the attack for a wide area range."
He laughed lightly.
"They are just stupid creatures—"
Burkk!
His body collapsed just like that because of the extremely heavy burden. He lost consciousness due to many factors affecting him.
