Digitize: Rebirth of the Silver Death God

Within the royal chamber, Red Rain and Mia had both fallen onto the ground; their faces pale as the effects of their short-term power-up had a faded, returning them to their normal state.

With a cough, Red Rain wiped the corners of his mouth that flowed with a strange kind of bluish gold blood, her face even paler than before as she looked at her trembling palm that had markings that wriggled as if they had a life of their own.

'My backlash might last a little while longer than the norm. It seems that forcing open a weakness into something beyond my level is truly too taxing. I hope that at least Wild Silver was able to land a hit...'

Red Rain thought to herself as her eyes shifted towards the scene in front of her; Mia also shared similar thoughts; through using her ancestral blood, she had ignited her true potential before its authentic awakening. Thus, she wasn't feeling much better.

"Sister will be mad...'

Mia thought as she recalled using her lifeline; she sighed, thinking that it couldn't be helped in the end, focusing her attention on the battle once more.

At this time, a bright series of baleful crimson arcs fired towards the neck of the Master of Horrors, who eyed them with a cold glint in his pupils. The world seemed to have fallen into slow motion as he could clearly see that behind these countless arcs of crimson rays, Nero's indistinct figure was twisting at alarming speeds, chopping his scythe at curved angles while each of his swings hurled more arcs of baleful energies towards him.

'Foolish boy, even if weaken, my power is still beyond your imagination.'

The Master of Horrors thought with a sinister glint in his eyes that shone in a red ray when he prepared to counter attack, raising his large arm as his elongated claw-like fingernails gleamed in sharp lights.

Nero, who saw this, had a stern look on his face, but he didn't dare to let up as he continued to push his Blood Reaper's Stance to his limit.

In moments, both sides collided, the sound of metal hitting metal resounding as in what seemed like a series of flashes and blurs. The Master of Horrors arm easily repelled each of the baleful red arcs of magic power scattered about the room, cleaving a deep scar into anything it contacted.

"So meaningless..." The Master of Horror teased as he casually bounced away Nero's baleful blood-red scythe energies.

Once this happened, Nero was forced out of his stance, appearing from the endless cluster of red rays as he landed on the ground, sliding backward by a few meters.

Nero gritted his teeth as his eyes completely glowed in red light as he is pushed himself further to his limit; he yelled, "I will cut you today! Killing Field!"

Instantly a blood-red field formed around both of their bodies, increasing Nero's speed and offensive capabilities while similarly weakening the Master of Horrors by a tiny extent. He then once more charged forward to attack, almost moving like a blur as he spun and swung his now glowing red scythe with full force, launching another barrage of crimson energy rays of his Blood Reaper's Dance.

"A domain from a low-class artifact? Another pointless attempt..." The Master of Horrors said again, parrying another one of Nero's attack, it was clear that he could easily defeat Nero, but he was holding himself back for some reason.

Curiously though, one of these scarlet rays was repelled in a direction away from the others, headed towards a familiar arrogant looking young man who glanced at it in shock.

"That darn Nero, he's thinking of pushing his attack towards me, such a bastard!"

Delkan shouted in anger as he hurriedly jumped out of the way, narrowly avoiding the assault, but sadly, a few of his lackeys failed to notice; the arc of light crashed into their bodies severing them into two halves.

"Ahhh!" The lackeys cried out as they fell onto the ground; Delkan looked at them and scolded, "Be quiet! You're acting as if you're going to die, hurry and use those things to leave the dungeon."

The lackeys that remained conscious with only severed limbs gritted their teeth. Enduring the pain, they then used the unique treasures needed to level a dungeon, but right when they invoked the command, a bright light shone to the heavens before vanishing.

Delkan looked at this in confusion and anger as he spoke, "What are you idiots doing? I said to hurry and leave!"

A few lackeys had a look of panic as they spoke," Y-Y-Young lord, it's not that we didn't try to, but we can't! It's not working!"

"What?" Delkan exclaimed as he stared in their direction; he suddenly had a dark feeling as he stared at the scene around them with a look of horror in his eyes as he thought to himself.

'J-just what the hell is going on?'

With Delkan finally beginning to get a clue, Nero's battle and the Master of Horror's seemed to be reaching its tipping point.

With each of Nero's rapid scythe slashes that devasted the area, the Master of Horror's treated it as if it was nothing, easily using his arm to swat each strike away. Soon, his eyes narrowed as he spoke with a hint of annoyance in his voice, "How weak... it looks like what I'm waiting for won't happen in the end, fine, I can force that soul of yours to awaken in another way."

When Nero heard this, his eyes widened in shock as he didn't expect such words; Adult Nero had a severe look in his eyes that glared at the Master of Horrors.

'How could he know about that?'

Nero thought, but before he could even finish, the Master of Horror's had already acted. With a swoosh, his figure vanished, appearing directly in front of Nero's body. Nero's heart shook when he saw how easily the enemy got within his range.

'Not good, I have to esc---' Nero inwardly said as he contemplated escaping, but sadly, it was already too late.

'This isn't good; I have to help him!' Mia thought with a look of worry on her face. She tried to move but ended up collapsing to her knees with an even paler expression due to her backlash.

Red Rain also had a similar outcome, the markings on her body seeming to have entered a berserk state forcing her to sit in meditation to recover. However, it was clear that she was a bit worried due to the current look on her face.

By now, the Master of Horror had already acted, he clenched his fist tightly and struck it towards Nero's stomach, but before it made contact, there was a change.

"Heart Piercing Flash!"

A voice sounded from his unguarded side, followed by a bright light which fired at a speed many times faster than even red lights released by Nero.

"Hmm?" The Master of Horror uttered in surprise as he turned his attention towards the light source. But as he did so, the light had already arrived at his chest region.

Instantly, it formed into Lily, who pushed towards him while holding her lustrous dagger directly in front of her, aiming for his chest.

"Hmph! You insolent girl, get down!"

The Master of Horrors cursed in anger as the arm he raised prior swiped out towards her, crashing into her side with a blur due to its immense speed.

'Nero, I've done my part...' Ivy inwardly said as she pushed all of her offensive magic power into defense, but sadly, it was not enough to completely resist the enemy's might.

With a loud smack and a pitiful cry, the arm sent Lily hurling towards another corner of the chamber where she crashed into an uprooted pile of rubble, crushing it to bits as she laid down unconscious.

"Li...ly!" Mikan said in a weak voice as he struggled to lift his head, but as he couldn't move, he could only watch from afar with a look of weakness.

Elly was also in such a condition; she glared at the battle scene with worry, even more so when she saw the Master of Horrors then prepared once more to down Nero.

"De... Delkan! What are you doing? H-Hurry and help Nero!" Elly struggled to shout at the top of her lungs; she and many others had noticed Delkan's arrival.

Her voice echoed, but Delkan merely stared at the disaster before him with sweating rolling down his face. Not daring to stay for a second longer, he rushed away no different from the wind, not even looking behind him.

'You want me to die with the lot of you! You can forget it!'

Delkan thought as he rapidly escaped the room, not even caring about his injured lackeys. Once he found out they couldn't log out from the scene prior; he had naturally come to a terrifying conclusion. Hence, he decided not to risk his life any more than necessary.

"You... cowardly bastard!" Elly cursed in a weak voice, struggling to stand up, but sadly she couldn't move due to her weakened state.

Crazy Blade and the others who had now regained their consciousness had cold looks on their faces, but none of them said anything. They pushed their all into trying to recover their strength.

The Master of Horrors naturally noticed Delkan, but he didn't even pay him any mind as his eyes once more turned in Nero's direction.

"We've played long enough; it's time for you to sleep."

With that said, his fist struck towards his stomach at great speeds. Seconds after, Nero flew backward into the air with a loud bang due to the fist's collision. He then coughed up a bit of blood; his body now seemed no different from a punching bag.

"Ah!" Nero cried out as his body soon after crashed onto the ground, crushing a pile of rocks. Even his scythe had fallen out of his grasp, landing on the ground in front of him.

The Master of Horrors had a cruel smile on his face and took another step, vanishing and arriving at his side in a flash. He then looked down on his sorry figure with a cold look as he slowly reached his hand down while speaking, "Human, it's over."

"Nerooo!" Elly cried out from a distance, too weak to do anything.

"Damn!" Crazy Blade cursed, hating his current state.

Thunder's Daughter and the others also made similar angry cries, but the Master of Horrors merely chuckled as he spoke in a resonant voice, "Huhu.. so foolish, you'll all be joining him soon, I shall let each of you know true despair."

Feeling the weakness of his body and the danger above him, Nero felt weak; he knew that no matter what he did, even if he somehow had the strength to get up again, he was vastly outclassed. He strugglingly raised his head and glared at the Master of Horror as he thought to himself.

'Damnit! He's... too strong...'

As Nero said those last bits of thoughts, his consciousness started to fade into black while the giant arm descended towards him, but right at the very last second, when all seemed to have ended, there was an unexpected scene.
