Chapter 27: The Drunk Snake

Chapter 27: The Drunk Snake

In the dark world of the mirrors, it felt nice. Like I was covered in comfortable, warm wet towels. But not long after, I came to reality and was next to the black egg demon.

Without hesitation, I swung my sword at its leg.

Clang!... Metal rang, and my sword snapped in half. "Shit!"

How?! His limbs were supposed to be weak!

Whatever else came to mind stopped, a fist was heading toward my face.

The average human reaction was around 0.20 seconds, for someone who awakened Ord it would be around 0.10 seconds. Warriors had half that, around 0.05 seconds. In my Perfect Me state, my reaction time would be close to zero. My special ability used all my knowledge to make the perfect move. Since I saw from a third point of view, Perfect Me used that knowledge to perfection.

A split-second difference in reaction time wasnt something big. That is what most people would think. But in a battle that small difference felt like an eternity.

Perfect Me was an ability created with the thought in mind that I would one day not have to use it. Since I would grow, gain experience, and fight as well as I would in that state.

No, the difference was too big!Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

By the time the fist was already in front of my face, I had leaned back an inch. Nowhere near enough to dodge. It hadnt even been half a second!

If the attack landed, I knew I was a dead man. But there was nothing I could do about it. With Perfect Me activated, I might have had a chance. Sadly, abilities like that have very powerful restrictions.

But despite all that, I wasnt scared. Because deep down I knew, there was a monstrous genius on my side.

A mirror manifested in front of me, like a shield. The demon immediately stopped the attack and backed off when he saw the mirror form. "You won't get me a second time with tricks like that, brats."

I jumped back and breathed a sigh of relief. Thanks, Sei.

He nodded. We both knew that if the demon hadnt been so cautious, I would have died. The mirror Sei created wasnt within a two-meter distance, so it wasn't an Absorption Mirror.

Oh shit! I almost died!

The realization of how close I was to death finally dawned in me.

Holy shit, I only survived because of a bluff!

Cold sweat dampened my clothes, making them stick uncomfortably to my body.

Your ability is versatile, I complimented Sei.

A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek. Sei wasnt that aloof logical exorcist that he would become. He should be tired by now. Just how tired? I don't know for sure.

It was then that an idea hit Sei like a lightning bolt. That was it!

As the demon rushed at them, Sei smiled and pointed his hand at the creature. The closer the demon, the more excited it seemed to get.

But once the demon was within his range, and was about to take another step. As the creature was about to touch him, a mirror formed below its feet and the creature sank. Its lower body entered the mirror world, while the upper body was still out.

You bastard! The demon grabbed the edges of the mirror. Stopping it from falling into the mirror world.

Sei cursed under his breath. If only he had enough Ord to have made the mirror bigger!

The demon spread its wings and was about to fly. Sei tried crushing the mirror or forcefully closing it.

But it was to no avail. His ability didnt have any direct attack powers.

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

For the first time in his life, Sei felt inadequate. Was this it? Was this all he would ever amount to?!

As thoughts of self-doubt started conquering his spirit, the demons shadow moved. The shadows twisted and formed a wolf's head. The shadowy beast bit down on the demons left wing, chewing, and destroying it.

You two annoying weaklings! Die! Yelled out the demon, as he slammed to the ground. It ripped off one of its own arms. Throwing it to the ground, causing a purple smoke bomb to bust out.

Sei knew he was too weak to dodge fast enough. But he felt someone grab him by the back of his shirt and pull him away. It was Kon, and he had a frown on his face.

Noooooo! Dont die on me! Please! Agons agonizing screams pierced through. Sadly, he and his friend were poisoned. Sei knew they would likely die soon.

Kon pulled Sei away from the poisonous cloud that was about to engulf him.

Agon dropped to the ground, dead after extending all his energy on that last agonizing scream.

Hehehe seems like things are finally going my way, the demon chuckled.

Not for long, Kon muttered under his breath.

Sei was curious about what he meant by that. But his curiosity didnt last long.

A dark purple evil energy settled around. It was such evil energy that it seemed like it would destroy the world.

Crawling, poisonous, twisted, it was something that didn't belong in this world. the sound of a thousand snakes hissing rang out. Bringing a chill down the spine of anyone who heard them. It felt as if the God of Poison and Snakes had descended.

What was this?

For the first time in his life, Sei felt absolute terror.
