Chapter 858: Welcoming Death

It was likely not going to change anything.

There's no way he could help Enigma defeat this Undead. The parity was just too big.

Varian knew it. But he still wanted to try.

It didn't matter if things failed after he tried. But to run away without even trying was something that he couldn't accept.

'Enigma, I'll support you from behind.' Varian's voice sounded in her mind when she was in the middle of dodging the Undead's attack.

Enigma flipped in the air and teleported to a mountain. Her mind was blank for a moment before she erupted in fury.

p<anda> 'Do you think you can make any difference here? You're too weak!' She said coldly while jumping off the hill.</anda>

A blurred silhouette crashed into the hill and the next second, the giant hill exploded as dust and rubble flew out.

And not just the hill, the ground surrounding the hill for fifty miles sunk as if it was clay.

Even though he was far away from the attack, Varian could feel its horror. But he still persisted in his decision to intervene.

The Undead didn't yet realize Varian had left the ghostship. He set his sights on Enigma standing in the clouds and kicked the ground.

Like a rocket taking off, he shot up and reached Enigma.

Enigma's darkness powers engulfed him as they 'suppressed' his powers from high level 9 to mid level 9. But in doing so, Enigma had to spend all her dark mana and couldn't use any for herself.

Enigma's mind power pushed his brain to stop the attack. So, his instinct overruled his mind and continued the attack involuntarily.

Enigma used her gravity power to create a repulsion shield to protect herself. Even though the Abyssal had been weakened to mid level 9, it wasn't enough.

However, she had a problem that she could no longer ignore.

"Argh!" Enigma's wounds refused to heal no matter what.

Her injuries were all covered by patches of black energy. Even though Enigma noticed them long ago, she couldn't neutralize them due to the ongoing battle.

They sucked her vitality, and with each passing second, Enigma grew weaker.

Even if she could survive this battle despite being the weaker party, she couldn't survive this vitality loss.

Under these circumstances, the Undead's punch reached her.

Enigma steeled herself for another injury when the Undead suddenly paused.

The space around his neck fluctuated without warning and a metal needle pierced appeared.

Propelled by an invisible telekinetic energy, it pierced his neck, spilling out green blood, only to be stopped halfway due to the extraordinarily thick skin. The chi of the Undead also flowed through his neck, preventing any further penetration.

The attack only succeeded because of the surprise element in the first place.

But it failed to cause any major damage to the Undead. The Undead had sensed felt Varian's location and decided to kill this 'bug'.

Before that, he reached for the needle with his hand and was about to pull it out to prevent any accidents.

However, a weak but intense psychic energy attacked his mind and caused the fingertips that were about to take the needle to halt for a moment. This halt was also supported by the sudden and literal freezing of his fingertips.

Despite being significantly weak, these two powers managed to halt the fingertips because they were heavily concentrated in a small area.

However, the strength disparity was obvious as the Undead's fingertips broke through the control and reached for the needle. This time, a large amount of Chi was flowing in the fingertips to prevent any mishaps.

But the thing that happened next wasn't to fingertips but the needle itself.

The special needle—made from a very rare and famous alloy known for its conductivity—was struck by lightning.

The jolt of electricity rushed into the Undead's neck and for a brief moment passed through his body and causing the Undead to twitch violently before his chi reacted instinctively and blocked out the electricity.

The area around the Undead's neck was charred and a roasted smell filled the air.

Three inches deep of flesh melted under the attack!

If a human was inflicted such damage in their neck, they'd have died without a doubt because half of their neck would be destroyed!

But the Abyssals, while humanoid in structure, had much larger skeletons than Humans. This Undead, like many Abyssals, was nearly 8 feet tall.

For such a structure, his neck was also much thicker. So, despite the brilliant attack and extraordinary damage, he wasn't fatally wounded.

But if the attack was done by lightning 100% more powerful, he'd have died for sure!

And the current injury, while not lethal, was by no means small!

"You rat!" The Undead stopped his attack on Enigma and turned to Varian who was standing on a faraway hill.

Varian sighed in disappointment. He concealed his presence and sneak attacked. But that'd only work once.

And that one successful attack wasn't enough to turn the tides in their favor.

"Varian!" Enigma was also shocked by Varian.

Even though his every attack was weak, when used together, he did more damage to the Undead than her!

Of course, that was mainly due to the surprise element. But still, it was remarkable.

Unfortunately, the current situation meant they had nothing to celebrate. Even Varian's brilliant intervention wouldn't change the final outcome.

Enigma used her artifact and teleported in front of Varian.

Looking up at the Undead with caution, she said. "Let's leave. There is no hope."

Varia looked at her injured, bloodied, and frail back. She wasn't Sia. But he didn't want her to suffer anymore. Because of his decision, she already risked her life. It was enough already.

Besides, he did his best and confirmed the final outcome wouldn't change. "Yeah, let's retreat."

After consulting her on her condition, he asked Enigma to teleport them to a particular location for a safe escape. The two appeared on a plain and the ghostship appeared behind them.

"You're both staying here forever." The Undead spat and shot towards them.

The ghostship's door opened up behind Varian and Enigma as the distance between the Undead and Varian continued to shrink at an astonishing pace.

The ground was split into two as the Undead almost reached them at a breakneck speed.

Varian had already stepped into Ghostship and Enigma was just a single step away when the Undead's reached her.

"NO!" Varian's heart sank as he realized that his calculations went wrong.

Enigma should've entered the ghostship by now and the door should've closed. Once that happened, even if the Undead punched it, they'd be safe and could quickly escape.

But an error occurred!

The Abyssal's speed was within expectations. But Enigma…she was much slower!

Varian noticed the dark energies floating around her injuries and Enigma's pale face as the reason flashed in his mind.

'That energy, the death energy!'

He did consider this issue in his calculations. But he underestimated how detrimental it could be to the victim.

Enigma too realized her predicament. The safe plan Varian told her had failed.

She's going to die!

'Finally, huh.'

Watching the fist that inched closer and closer to her, Enigma felt a sense of relief.

This was the kind of death she always envisioned.

She'd no longer be burdened by finding a purpose in her life. She'd no longer have to ask herself where she belonged. Who she was. And what was she even living for...

'But Sia won't die with me.' Enigma urged 'Her' to wake up.

Everything would here.
