"Your future is...MARVELOUS! I WILL NOT LET YOU GO! " He shouted as he charged towards me the moment I hit the ground. I lethargically swung my sword at him, only for him to counter with a disarming move. He seized me by the head and started chanting: "I invoke the God of Fate, |____|; I will establish a connection between us. This bond will bind us from this realm to the next, unbreakable until we engage in combat aga-"
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? STOP THI-" I stopped as Lucifero punched a hole through my abdomen, causing me to cough blood.
"I call upon the God Of Curses, |_____| to place the mark of sacrifice upon Alpha, effective in his next life."
Suddenly, a searing pain shot through my right arm. The agony felt like being submerged in the fiery depths of the sun, intensified a hundredfold. My body was charred, singed, ablaze, and any other synonym for fire.
"With this, it is only a matter of time before we clash again. Next time, it will be at our strongest, our peak. Lord will reset everything, with both of our memories as she whispered to me. This mark will serve as a reminder to both of us to fight again."
Just then, a ticking sound was heard inside of me. Realizing what it was, I ripped out the bomb planted inside my body and shouted: "YOU SON OF A BITCH DR. CAR-" I protected myself with a thin layer of mana just as the bomb went off. An explosion appeared between Lucifero and me. I landed on my back at an unknown distance from my enemy. My hearing was gone, and my eyesight was covered in blood. I cursed under my breath as I even lost the strength to do that. My eyes got heavier as I struggled to stay awake.
The only thing I could think about was my heart pounding, which gradually slowed. Just as my body was on the verge of giving up, I manipulated the surrounding mana in the air, channeling it into my body to mend myself. In my final breaths, I glimpsed a shadow looming over me before surrendering to darkness.
