Chapter 243 - Burn

Name:Hero Cultivation Author:AMonarch
"So this is what you plan to use to stop me? I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed, I would have expected more from one of the comrades of my final enemy. Nevertheless, I'll just take care of it like I'll be taking care of you and then your leader," said the biologically modified human before activating a secret art of his own once again.

<<Secret Art: Endless Burn>>

Using this secret art, he was able to start and never ending flame which started in the core of the folding forest before it expanded into the outer layers as it completely destroyed it in just a matter of minutes.

"See, I had already warned you that you would be no match for me. Although I can't blame you. You must still think that you're responsible for being the knight in shining armour for yo ur leader. Well I have some news to tell you. Both you and your leader will be dying by my hands in just a couple minutes so start saying your prayers," said the genetically modified human as he prepared to take his first step forward as he wanted to kill Spike now and get the battle over with so he could move on to his main battle, that being with the real Julius who was sitting down without a care in the world as he looked after Rosie.

When loomed at from the genetically modified human's perspective, it in fact did seem like Julius had placed all his trust into Spike. This would come in useful as Spike realized that Julius didn't seem even the least bit concerned which let him know that his leader trusted him. Realizing this, Spike let out a gentle smile which looked more like a smirk to the modified human. Seeing as Spike felt complete, he allowed his secret art to take affect.

"Fall," said Spike as he pointed his index and middle finger towards the ground which directed his heaven's blade to fall from the spatial gate in the sky towards the body of the modified human as it hit Spike's enemy with the force of at least a thousand elephants.

"Now you can finally shut up now," said Spike as he saw the blade sink into the body of the genetically modified human before sinking itself ever so deep into the group which allowed Spike to come to the conclusion that his battle had come to a close. However that was far from the truth.

"Where do you think you're going now?" the genetically modified human asked in an exhausted tone which made Spike turn around which revealed that the modified human was in fact very much alive however he was severely injured as his right shoulder had been cut off completely by the blade and blood continued to gush out of his body like a waterfall.

"It's already over. You know you can't defeat me in the state you're in. So why do you keep bothering to stand up? I can tell that you're nothing more than a puppet. However even a puppet master should recognize when their puppet is of no use any longer. You must be going through hell itself right now.

allow me to do you a favour and end your life as swiftly as possible," said Spike as he was exhausted himself and didn't have the energy to push himself more than he already had. However due to the modified human being part robotic, he had no choice but to continue fighting. 

Even so, the modified human couldn't really do much as at the rate he was going, it would only a matter of seconds before he died from blood loss. As such, he planned to us his ultimate and final attack which he could only use a single time. This was due to the fact that his attack killed the user and as such, it was a suicide attack.

"Forgive me. This was not the way in which I intended to defeat you. However desperate times call for desperate measures. I guess I'll have to take you all with me to hell," said the modified human as he pulled up the sleeve of his left hand to reveal a red button on it. After doing so, the kiddies human used his chin to press the button and closed his eyes as if he had accepted his death. However to Spike, it seemed like the modified human had done nothing and was simply bluffing about using a final attack which would not only kill Spike but Julius and Rosie as well.

...

After exactly 3 seconds of pressing the button, a large explosion could be heard all across the country as it all originated from the spot Spike had been fighting the modified human. 

All across the country, people could feel the impact of it and it was the second area of their world to have suffered large casualties as there was no warning given that an explosion of that size would take place and as such kill so many people. What was surprising was that the explosion caused by the suicide of the modified human was much greater than that of the explosions created by the nuclear weapons which were sent out to target Julius when he first arrived in the regular side of the world.

"Dammit! I knew I should have stepped in! I wish they didn't come to recuse me! Now they're both dead because I couldn't react in time to defend them! But wait... how am I still completely fine?" Julius asked himself with a confused voice as he realized that there was a force field that protected not only him but Rosie as well. A force field the same colour as the one that Spike had used the previous time to protect them. Realizing what had happened, Julius grit his teeth in regret and shame.

"Once again, I couldn't be of any use to my comrades. Another one of them died due to my inability to sense danger.. It's always my fault," Julius said as he blamed himself for the death of Spike.
