There was no benefit from begging the abuser to save your life, Isiah knew that the hard way, not only would the hits continue, but so would the harsh words.
No words, or gestures, tears, or even yells that guarantees a free pass from pain caused by another person.
'They don't care, unless it is caused by their body they wouldn't even care to listen' Isiah repeated inside of him when he captured the look on their faces.
They were all looking at him waiting for the perfect moment to attack him, they weren't reckless like the first attempt when they thought he was still sealed, this time they thought carefully of the possibility of his contre attack.
Rivok was still hesitant about doing the first attack towards Isiah, but he thought of the crowd that he was deceiving, he had to do it for their acceptance and approval for his leadership.
He walked a few steps from where he was standing, then said:" Isiah Duncan, do you have any last words? "
" Do you ? " Isiah replied despite his feeling of pain all over his body, because of the punches he took from the other man.
" Yeah, you chose to continue joking till the end, i see, let's wait now and see if you are going to continue joking when the pain is unbearable" Rivok answered.
" Hmm, bring all you got"
' ah, i am going to be fucked up right now, why am acting ? with this attitude they are going to fuck me, they are now putting high expectations of my powes, when in fact i am still the weakest person in delwias island, shit , i need to do something, i cant let them discover that i am still the same…shit …shit …i have to do something…even my divine energy is messing inside of me, it is not stable at all, and to use it i have to be extra calm'
Isiah's thoughts were going wild, yet he kept his face straight to the point where Rivok began to feel triggered by his calm nature.
Any delay was only going to damage Rivok reputation, that's why he raised his arm in the sky and automatically a yellow circle appeared with one rune inside of it, Isiah read the rune from afar, it was translated to chain, seconds after that, a metallic chain appeared from that circle moving like a serpent in the air, Rivok smiled then pushed it towards Isiah Immediately.
Isah tried to stay still and not get afraid of his summoning spell, yet Rivok rolled that chain around his neck tightly and started to suffocate him.
" How are you feeling now, bastard? " His smile widened a second after another .
Isiah was struggling to release himself yet he couldn't, he was coughing hardly, his tan face turned red, his eyeballs too.
Rivok wasn't going to back off when he reached this point.
' I am not going to die, this is not going to happen, i am going to survive, i will practice magic, i will level up, damn …shit …this is definitely not my end' He kept on thinking when everything turned black around him.
Pain was not the problem, even death was not his worst fear, the most disturbing part was the acceptance of death, only to feel the last shred of soul to be extracted.
That last breath that refuses to get out, that attachment with the tiniest line of life. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novel⟡fire.net
' I refuse to die' He said when remembered the oblivion phase.
' What would I do in that place? Can't go there? Maybe i went there as Seth Johnson, but not now..not in a world full of magic'
Isiah was grabbing the chain in his neck trying to remove it.
The bruises on his neck made it impossible for him to feel the heat, he didn't even notice the heat coming from his hands, that metallic chain was so hot.
If he was not now using magic it would have cutted his head off OF his body but now, that heat melted the chain, not completely but just enough to the point where it became malleable.
Isiah used his force to break it despite the shreds of skin that were stuck on the chain.
"Aghhhhhh " Isiah yelled the moment he broke it off of him.
" We should run away …"
The crowd was going crazy at that moment, a few of them actually ran away when they saw him break the chain in that way .
Isiah wasn't in his clear state of mind, he wasn't feeling pain anymore yet the state of his body was not cured.
Rivok was speechless when he saw that his companions were enraged, they all attacked him at once with wind spells .
Isiah fell on the ground, his body weakened due to the instability of Emperium divine energy.
The fall was not expected after such a scene. That is why Rivok raised his hand again and shaped a new circle and from it, he summoned a sword this time and headed towards Isiah.
Rivok was so scared but for the sake of his plan he had to get closer to him to finish him already .
Rivok looked at him for the last time, before he raised his sword to the sky then stabbed him with it in his chest.
" Now, you bastard, now show me what you can do, where is all that confidence ? Where are the powers of your demonic family? I can't believe that we had to wait for this whole time just to finish your existence"
Rivok didn't pull the sword from inside his chest, he just turned around and started to yell and say: " Yeah …yeah …my people ..i told you that i am going to remove whatever that is threatening your life, i am not going to let anything harm you, not him, not the people from region two, we are going to level up no matter what, just like now i am going to lead you to safety, this is only the first step"
