Chapter 283 The Awakening & The End (Part 1)

Time slowed down as a powerful and unique feeling erupted from within Mako's body. His pain completely disappeared as he felt very light. The strain and exhaustion on his body were non-existent as Mako could feel his muscle fibers physically getting a lot stronger.

Mako's tiny green bubble that had contained his poison aura had completely burst with the aura now leaking and spreading throughout his entire body with his eyes glowing a bright neon green.

An array of prompts flooded the holographic screen in front of Mako's eyes which were now glowing bright in a neon green color; however, Mako paid no heed to the incoming prompts as he added them to a massive folder of unread notifications that he had still yet to open and read.

Who knew how many rewards were waiting for him in his notification box the rewards wouldn't be applied until Mako acknowledged the prompt by reading it from the notification box.

Mako could feel his poison aura that was now freely flowing throughout his entire body and could sense that it was at a far greater level than what he had it before.

Without wasting a single second, Mako placed his hand on top of the wound once again, this time his entire arms were covered in the hazy green aura which quickly began to push into her body to try and influence the remainder of the poison that was still lingering inside her body and was causing more destruction.

Mako watched with shock and wonder as every single droplet of poison that was spread throughout her entire body quickly began to migrate back toward their origin which was the stab wound on her back.

Within seconds, Mako had amassed a decent-sized blob of bright green liquid that was half the size of a baseball.

This was the entirety of the poison that was injected inside Angela's body via the dagger that Victor had stabbed her with.

Mako extracted the poison from the wound with ease and discarded it by throwing it far away from Angela's body.

As soon as Mako removed the poison from her body, the invisible force inside of her started to take control of her body again and establish self-healing.

Mako had his system that had the emergency healing feature that would begin healing him in exchange for energy if he was to be close to zero HP, but Angela didn't have such a thing, so Mako was amazed to see that her body was also performing emergency healing all on her own with her also receiving aid from the healing pill that Mako fed her earlier.

Mako continued to observe Angela's organs and vitals, scanning her internals several times to make sure that he didn't miss any small droplets of poison that might have escaped his control the first time.

However, after scanning her several times and Analyze confirming that Angela was no longer poisoned, Mako's eyes slowly began to lose their bright neon green color as they dimmed and reverted back to their original color with Mako passing out moments later and his body couldn't go on for a second more or else he would have actually died from such extreme exhaustion.

*Ding!* *Ding!* *Ding!*

Several more prompts flashed in front of him, but he was too tired to make sense of any of them and they too got transferred to the unread pile in the notifications tab, awaiting for Mako to read and acknowledge them for them to take effect.

Mako collapsed alongside the recovering bodies of Angela and Leon, contempt that he had given his all to make sure none of his teammates died on his watch. He just hoped that whoever Leon had called for help would arrive soon and give them all proper medical attention and hoped that the rest of his team would be able to deal with Victor Voss.

He was still unsure of Iris' condition as she still hadn't appeared but hoped for her to be alright as well and with that last thought, Mako finally became unconscious again.

Meanwhile, the occasional thud and shaking of the ground that Mako could sense from the dark passage told him that a fight was still going on and two powerful people were clashing head-on.

*******************

Bill grabbed Victor by the neck and smashed his face onto the steel table inside the little room where they were initially imprisoned.

*Smash!*

Victor's whole body was covered in blood and was heavily injured but that didn't stop Bill whose body was still glowing with those tattoos to continue bringing more pain to Victor.

Victor was a very skilled fighter and a person who was very strong both mentally and physically and yet right now, he was on the verge of tears as he couldn't deal with the pain anymore. He continued to wonder where had he made a critical error to be now put in this position.

*******************

After Victor was smashed into the ground by Bill during his entry, both Bill and Angela rushed forward to defeat him once and for all; however, Victor wasn't completely out of tricks just yet.

He had an emergency dagger on him that had been gifted to him by his current employer as an offering of peace and gratitude for him and his team to be carrying out this mission in the village.

The blade was laced with a special poison that was extremely strong and could kill any fighter up to the Alpha rank.

Using the fact that he had taken a critical blow from Bill and was without guard, Angela didn't suspect Victor to recover so swiftly and stab her in the back just as she was about to unleash her strong fire ability.

The reason for Victor's smooth recovery was that he had used his own wind ability to cushion the blow for him and he imitated his body being lodged into the earth but in reality, it was just his wind ability that had made that crater.

Bill was able to respond swiftly to Victor's sudden recovery, but Victor was already too quick as he had picked up his rifle and blasted Bill into the dark alleyway using an air bullet.

Seeing that Angela wasn't a threat anymore and would die eventually as well as seeing his elite guards each engaging in battle against one of those pesky brats, he was confident that he wasn't needed here as he had to make sure to neutralize Bill before he recovered because as of now he wasn't very sure how many of Bill's he could avoid as he was definitely physically stronger than him at this point.

He grabbed his rifle and charged through the dark alleyway that led back to the two rooms that were constructed at the very end. His main office where he had stored all the main valuables that he had stolen from the village as well his own tech and plans while the other one was the prison room where he had enjoyed torturing Bill and the other for an entire hour.

Using the light emanating from his rifle, Victor illuminated his path as he continued to dash forward hoping to catch Bill off guard and quickly finish him off.

*CRUNCH!*

However, in an instant, the walls of the passageway came toward each other at insane speeds, crushing Vinctor completely between the two slabs of earth.

Blood gushed out of Victor's mouth as his body was barely able to stop itself from being completely squashed flat.

Soon the walls retracted back into the walls as if they hadn't moved at all and the disfigured and hurt figure of Victor Voss came face to Bill's figure that was giving off an extremely dangerous and ominous aura as the glowing light from his tattoos and eyes was the only source of light that gave off a general outline of his body.

"Did you really think you were the only one that could fake getting hit by a strong attack?" Bill as he reminded Victor of moments ago when he had fooled Angela by tanking one of his attacks.

Bill had done the exact same thing as he had purposefully taken the hit from his rifle to be launched back into the passageway where he was sure that Victor would follow him.

A narrow space, surrounded by the earth on all sides.

"I was already going to pay you back a thousandfold for what you did to Iris, but now I realize that this is far too little of a punishment for someone like you who doesn't think for a slight second before killing or hurting anyone," Bill stated as he planted his feet firmly on the ground and the tattoos that were on his body began to appear and illuminate all over the walls around them.

"Prepare yourself!" Bill shouted at the frightened figure of Victor Voss as he was ready to go all out against him in a domain that favoured him quite heavily.
