Gods' Impact Online

Chapter 345 343- At Death's Door

　　Zach, who was approaching Cerberus with heavy yet slow steps, sensed the presence of the monster and stopped on his track. He looked back to see the monster, but he didn't react to it.

　　The monster charged up and shot a laser beam at Zach, but instead of dodging, Zach opened his mouth and ate it. Even after five minutes, the monster didn't stop shooting the laser beam, and Zach had devoured it all.

　　Then, he raised one hand in the air and summoned hundreds of portals above the monster. And when he lowered his hand, the portal shot a black laser beam and obliterated the monster with hundreds of holes in its body.

　　The monster died after a few minutes, and Zach received 10% of the EXP he received the last time for clearing the floor.

　　[...] Cerberus watched the whole fight and, deep down, hoped that the monster would overwhelm Zach and make him weak enough to stop him.

　　After defeating the monster, Zach jumped and landed in front of Cerberus. He raised his hand to summon the demonic version of the cursed dagger.

　　Cerberus had seen how he killed the soul eater rip-off in one shot and waited for his death. He had no regrets except for leaving Zach in such a state. But there was nothing he could do.

　　He tried his best to stop Zach but failed miserably, and now he was at death's door.

　　He closed his eyes and accepted his fate, but he never felt the pain of dying.

　　One second passed, ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed. Before he realized it, a minute had passed. Another minute passed, and then 5 minutes passed. Ultimately, ten minutes passed, but Cerberus could still sense his body and feel alive.

　　With no other choice left, he reluctantly opened his eyes and saw Zach passed out on the ground with an unknown figure lying beside him.

　　[...] Cerberus recognized the figure as he had seen it before.

　　It was Thomas' Chick whom Zach had used necromancy on.

　　['What is she doing here? And what happened to my liege?'] he wondered.

　　He tried to get up but couldn't move his body with a big hole. However, Cerberus' IG was higher than any other monster.

　　He changed his size to a mini Cerberus and turned even smaller than it. His current size is the same as a puppy, and because of that, his wound has completely vanished from his body.

　　He walked to Zach, but to reach him, he had to pass through Thomas' Chick, who was also lying unconscious beside Zach. So he walked all the way to the side and stood in front of Zach's face.

　　[My liege…] he uttered in a very low voice, and even his voice had changed to a very low pitch because of his size.

　　[Can you hear me, my liege?]

　　Cerberus wanted Zach to wake up, but he was also afraid of him waking up. Zach was still in his demon form, and he didn't want him to go insane again. Still, there was no other choice.

　　After calling out to Zach a few times and not getting any response, Cerberus decided to risk it and tapped on Zach's head with his tiny paws. But suddenly, he was grabbed from behind and raised him in the air.

　　It was Thomas' Chick. And she was snarling and glaring at him with golden eyes.

　　Cerberus was so small and weak that he couldn't break free from her grip.

　　[What are you doing, you lowly servant! Let me go!] Cerberus yelled furiously.

　　Even though he was the one being overwhelmed in his current state, his haughtiness had no bounds.

　　Thomas' Chick kept glaring at Cerberus while he continued to break free from her grip.

　　[What are you glaring at me for?! Unhand me this instant, or I will burn you with my fire, you lowly servant!]

　　Cerberus shot fire from his dragon mouth, but only smoke came out.

　　[I… I will forgive you for this once! Now, unhand me!]

　　CRACK! CRACK!

　　Cerberus heard a cracking sound and thought Thomas' Chick had rushed his bones, but the sound was coming from beside him.

　　He and Chick looked at the side and saw Zach's body had begun to break apart. The cracks grew rapidly as his horns, wings, and tail turned into ashes.

　　His skin and fangs returned to normal, and the marks on his body slowly started to disappear. His claws turned into hands, and the rest of his body had become normal.

　　His demonification either failed, or it was stopped by Thomas' Chick.

　　[My liege!] Cerberus was now more excited than before as he was now sure that everything was fine now.

　　[My liege!] He kept yelling Zach's name while Thomas' Chick stared at Zach with a dazed expression on her face.

　　Zach's eyelids moved a little, and he opened his eyes a few seconds later.

　　"...."

　　His vision was blurry, but he could hear Cerberus calling his name. Seeing someone sleeping beside him, he rubbed his eyes to clear his vision.

　　He sat up while grabbing his head and glanced to the side to see Cerberus' puppy form and Thomas' Chick staring at him with an innocent look on her face.

　　SIGH!

　　Zach curled up and hugged his knees while his body tried to heal itself from the cracks of the damage received from his demonification.

　　[My liege, are you okay?] Cerberus asked. He was still in Chick's clutches and constantly trying to break free.

　　Zach raised his head and glanced at his surroundings to see the destruction he had caused.

　　"I… failed to stay sane… I don't remember anything after activating the Demon King's blessings…"

　　[My liege… I have something important to tell you…]

　　"Yes?"

　　After a brief silence of suspense, he said, [Can you ask this lowly servant to put me down?!]
