Elementalists
Chapter 218 - Veni Vedi Vici
Timothy staggered backwards while holding the front of his body, a long, blood-soaked slash mark visible from his left shoulder to his right waist. Blokhin cleared away the patches of red liquid on his axe and shouldered it back, his eyes focused forward where Timothy concentrated on stopping the bleeding.
“Why....?”
“You can't control my weapon? Simple...” Blokhin slowly removed the blackish covering cloth around his arm.
It turns out that there should be a wooden handle for the axe eye grip there is a clean white bone arrangement, not just that. Even the sharp part of the sharp object is also made of a sharp flattened human skeleton.
“This land...” growled Timothy wrathfully.
“Are you aware of my identity? I am an executioner who makes art using the former limbs of my victims, so you are not able to control it like iron – iron belonging to Caesar's soldiers before.”.
Timothy's feelings were mixed, there was a great desire in his heart to come forward but his common sense held back. The frontal way is so difficult to succeed especially the opponent is very experienced and strong, in the middle of – emergency conditions his brain continues to work to find a way out.
‘Come think...what would the Captain say if he were in this situation?...’
Blokhin seemed to be getting bored because Timothy was still silent, he lowered his axe from the shoulder and stepped lightly, then the spark of ideas flashed in Timothy's mind as if the connecting cable of his – cell finally fused.
Only a split second did Timothy make preparations, when Blokhin arrived before him and took up arms about to cut off Timothy's neck. A silvery shield floated curling towards Blokhin's nape, but the surprise attack failed as a result of the man's lightning response.
“You think child boomerang games – kids can mengela—“
BRUAKH....!!!
The loud sound of a rock being hit stole Blokhin's attention, apparently finished capturing Ladon Timothy immediately keep the distance continued to hit the strong – cliff where both are with his iron hand.
“Sial!?—“
Timothy's actions just succeeded in causing Blokhin's footing to disappear because there was a large enough gap under his feet, he almost fell from an extraordinary height if he did not have time to connect his axe between the two sides of the cliff.
“Hah...hah....hah.
“Bokah didn't know it was lucky!? Just wait for you!?”
Timothy tried to catch his breath, everything going according to his plan. Just to give the final touch and pray for maximum results, Blokhin is struggling – hours to try to get out of his desperate position but the size of the body, weapons, weapons, and the hole is too tight aka narrow so it is difficult to move.
“Do not think you can beat me this easily..”.
“Silver Virus..”.
“Ap—“ Blokhin chokes on his own saliva when the entire cliff on the left or right turns hard like metal.
“Arrivederci Signore.....HYYAAAA....!? Performance dei Piatti!!”
BANGGGG...!!!
Timothy clutched firmly on the cliff face, his – muscles began to tighten indicating how hard he was working. And finally with one powerful jolt he reunited the crack, smashing the cursed bone axe along with its user into a pulp.
“One fell...” Timothy whispered right before fainting.
------><------
“Woaaa...!? Seven hundred and twenty-nine multiplied by four hundred and sixty-one equals—adudududu.
“Hei? Relax, you lost a lot of blood..” a heavy voice caused him to turn his head.
Timothy's vision was still a bit vague at first, after trying to focus for about a minute, the sighting of Julius Caesar sitting noticed clearly. The old man was on a rock with a chin.
Timothy examined the incision wound on the front of his body that ternayata already dried due to the help of Caesar, then he noticed the surrounding well – well. Timothy tried to remember – remember the incident a while ago when fighting Blokhin.
He was not on the cliff anymore but close to the fortress, the black sea before also seemed to have receded. Caesar watched the young man's behavior continue to laugh and shake his head in surprise.
“You're relaxed once yes...”.
“Hmmm....? Ahhh.so if you intend to attack me from the beginning there should be no need to treat my wounds, thank you. After all, when you passed out earlier, you can finish me off at any time, but you wait until I wake up...” Timothy presents his analysis.
“Then? What's your goal?”
“Ludum Mortem...” Caesar said while flicking a finger.
CTAK....!!!
Instantly the scenery of the surrounding area changed completely, filled with flickering – space stars. Both seem to have just been thrown to the end of the galaxy, but there is something strange that bothers Timothy. The object is neatly arranged in front of him ready to play.
“This.....giant chess board....”.
“To be exact, we will play it but with special rules....”.
Caesar began to describe everything, in fact the game was nothing more than chess in general just after the players gave up their blood. Each time the pawns of both were killed, the more damage the bodies of Timothy and Caesar suffered, the higher the rank of pain increased. The highlight of it all is when the king is killed then the heart of the owner is certainly destroyed.
“How? Simple, isn't it?” Caesar interrupted.
GLEK....!?
Timothy gulped heavily, if the rules are so then each – steps must be carefully thought out. Not even when sacrificing something, but like lucky he can beat Caesar unharmed then catch up with Arya and Kevin, Timothy is quite confident in his ability to play chess.
“You ready?”
“Iya...” Timothy said following Caesar dripping blood on the chessboard.
There was a kind of connection between Timothy and the black-colored pawns, the entire movement was arranged by him. Eventually the game begins, less than ten steps Timothy must acknowledge Caesar's superiority as well as regret his decision.
He continues to be pressed, organs – organs in his body scream in pain. I don't know how many times Timothy spewed fresh blood through his mouth until his head felt light, after being given time to recuperate Timothy saw only four pawns left to escort the king while Caesar's property was still complete.
“Only so? You said you knew me before, right? Then you know the words Veni, Vedi, Vici...” Caesar stared across casually.
“Ahhh...I came, I saw, and I won....”.
Finished replying to Julius Caesar's question Timothy's knee hit the ground, his entire limb felt heavy. Forcing her to fall asleep, as she closed her eyes the figure of Arya appeared out of nowhere.
‘Oi Timothy? You want to know how not to be easily read?’
‘How?’
‘Be a blank sheet of paper...’.
‘Hah!? Meaning?’
‘Think of yourself, this world is cruel. What did you expect?’
BRUAKHS!!!
Timothy managed to prop himself up so as not to fall, the faint memory shadow of – Arya's back left him while murmuring – a murmur resuscitated him against something. He got up then took a deep breath –, trying to clear his mind.
Caesar raises his eyebrows, thinking Timothy has reached his limit. But Caesar's prediction missed, as Timothy stared ahead his gaze turned blank. The game flow changed by one hundred and eighty degrees.
He managed to promote one of his pawns into a queen then slowly gave a counterattack, killing one by one Caesar's pawns to checkmate. The struggle caused his enemy to smile warmly acknowledging Timothy's ability before his heart broke.
As soon as Caesar was killed his space manipulation magic evaporated, confirming Timothy's return to the fortress where they first met. Timothy's vision was disturbed due to blood coming out through his eyes, he walked smoothly until – arrived lost his footing and fell towards the ravine near there. Instead of shouting he instead heaved a sigh of relief, as he was finally able to rest.
“Captain? I managed to become a blank piece of paper, you just want to say that I'm thinking too much about stepping, right? Hihihi..
YOKO....!!! WUSH....!!!
