Bro, I'm not an Undead!

(A/N: Bonus Chapter).

THUD!

The heavy armoured body of Revia fell to the ground.

Her figure looked pathetic as she lay down in her worn armour that was riddled with cracks and burns.

Her face looked tragic with her once pretty and clean visage that had beautiful grey eyes along with thin lips and soft skin being sullied by dirt and dried blood.

A lifeless darkness could be seen behind her eyes as she squirmed weakly on the ground, the many wounds she had over her body not having healed but bled out instead as in her body, not even a bit of blood remained.

A raspy breath crawled out her mouth as she looked before her where three figures stood, looking at her without even a shred of sympathy while the same true for six that were changing endlessly around her.

Ever since that day when she had fought with the man in the green and white mask and lost, her life, if it could even be identified as such, had become a miserable wreck.

Pain and anguish were all she could process as she wished that her sister Elita would somehow come and rescue her.

Yet, Direction was a bitch.

None of that was destined to come to pass.

The words of Valis kept ringing in her mind as she wondered if this was really what her life was supposed to be.

Were her parents’ and brother’s death’s really necessary?

Was the path she had treaded a wrong one?

Was this really the plan of the Deities’ over her?

For her to now live in the purest form of Undeath, as the man in the green and white mask had said?

An undying woman.

An immortal who was bound to scream for a normal death and yet fail to find it for the rest of her unlife?

As she twisted on the ground, dirt infiltrating her mouth and staining her teeth, she felt hollow inside as something she had struggled to keep, had finally been ripped from her just now after a week and some days of resisting.

She had tried her best to keep it within herself but she had finally run out of the strength to do so.

“The blessing has finally been stripped from her…” a man with dark hair and golden eyes said with a solemn look as he looked at the giant formation that floated in the air behind Revia.

It had a bright red hue, continuously spinning with its circular shape as it seemed to assimilate a golden white streak of energy that tried to resist being devoured.

On the ground that everyone stood, large groves were traced, carving out a massive, complex array in the well lit and enclosed space.

This was the Extreme Formula.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.271).

An etching over the earth that was said to be the central binding which kept the Deity Boron away from the rest of Aigas.

It was always unguarded and not even hidden as only a few years after searching was it found by the Evenfall.

The formation in the air thrummed as it finally swallowed the streak of golden energy, the power of the blessing that Revia had wielded.

The source of her immense speed.

The formation glowed with a bright golden red hue for a few seconds before it sent a stream of similarly coloured energy into the Extreme Formula below!

VWUUUM!

The energy dropped over the array and for a moment, a white light prevailed over the enclosure space.

Then…

Nothing.

The man with the combed over dark hair and golden eyes frowned.

“Not even an inch of progress?” he said with wrath building up slightly within his voice.

Actuass who stood with Fulina and Cyne saw the dismal result and questioned.

“Problem?”

The dark-haired man shot his gaze towards Actuass and spat out a begrudging reply.

“Of course there is a problem! The Formula isn’t showing any reaction at all! The blessing was quite potent. There should be some manner of progress!” the man growled.

Actuass sighed.

“I lost one of my proxies for this, you know?” he said.

“Do you think I care for that right now? We need more Champions! It seems even the power of the 5th ranked Champion is not enough!”

Fulina and Cyne creased their brows.

“We’re not your lapdogs,” Fulina said. “That request of yours would require another transaction. One more favourable for us than you this time.”

The dark haired man looked at the woman with intense hatred. Right now, he could give a damn about all that.

This collaboration wasn’t built on friendship. As far as he knew the Green Neolists couldn’t back out as they needed them as well!

This collision was built out of necessity!

He opened his mouth to refute Fulina’s words.

“Naturally, we will oblige. This is an engagement built on convenience for both sides, is it not?”

It wasn’t the Evenfall leader who spoke however as even he, as he had been about to spout his rage, looked towards the source of the voice.

A figure appeared a distance behind Actuass and his crew who immediately raised their guard.

“Surely that is an extravagant expense we can spare. Right, my dear Leader?”

As everyone turned, they saw a man with purple and black hair appear from the dredges of this space.

He walked confidently, his grin oozing of a mysterious confidence.

Actuass and the others didn’t know who he was but the those from the Evenfall sensed something familiar within him.

While they didn’t know him personally, they identified him as one of their own.

A blessing was within him, much like most of them with a familiar energy signature.

The mam with the dark hair narrowed his eyes as he then addressed this new entrant.

“Who are you?” The Evenfall leader asked with a deep frown.

Guissepo grinned as his eyes showed a luminous light of revelation that made everyone even more hurry.

“I am but a messenger with an EXTRAVAGANT message from the Master…” he replied.
