Chapter 89 Sensei Josh's death
"I... I never thought it would go this far. He... he should have died after I stabbed him, but somehow, he..." Sensei Josh's voice trailed off, his sentence unfinished as his horrified eyes widened. The rock he had been hiding behind was lifted effortlessly into the air, tossed aside like it weighed nothing.
"Found you," Silas's voice was cold and unfeeling, each syllable carrying the weight of finality. He stood over Josh, his eyes glowing with a malevolent light, his expression twisted into something dark and menacing.
The aura surrounding him was almost suffocating, a mixture of bloodlust and eerie calm that made Josh's heart hammer against his ribs. A shiver raced down Josh's spine, an instinctive reaction to the predator standing over him.
Sensei Josh's throat felt tight as he swallowed, instinctively trying to scramble backward, his hands pressing into the dirt as he attempted to crawl away. But Silas matched his every move, taking slow, calculated steps forward. With a sudden motion, Silas reached down, grabbing a fistful of Josh's hair and yanking him to his feet.
"AHH!" Josh cried out, his scalp burning as Silas's iron grip forced him upright. He struggled weakly, but his body felt drained, the illusionary energy he had expended leaving him on the verge of collapse. Silas's strength was overwhelming.
"You brought me out here to kill me, didn't you?" Silas's voice was low, filled with cold contempt. He tightened his grip on Josh's hair, the pain making Josh's vision blur.
"Then why are you crawling away like a scared dog instead of fighting back?"
Josh's breath hitched, his face paling as he tried to break free, but it was hopeless. Silas's grip was unrelenting. The sinister grin on Silas's face only deepened as he spoke, "Seems you're out of stamina. You've got nothing left. But me? I could do this all day."
With that, Silas released Josh's hair, allowing him to fall to the ground. Just as Josh was about to catch his breath, Silas's fist came swinging towards him with deadly precision.
*BAM!*
The punch connected with brutal force, sending a shockwave through the air. Josh's nose shattered instantly, a sickening crunch filling the silence as his face twisted from the impact. The force behind Silas's punch sent Josh flying backward, his body skidding across the sandy ground until he crashed into a nearby rock. Blood poured from his broken nose, staining the ground beneath him.
Gasping, Sensei Josh tried to push himself up, his hands slipping on the blood-slicked sand. But before he could gather himself, Silas was already there, looming over him, grabbing him by the hair once more.
"You really thought this would end differently, didn't you?" Silas hissed, his voice dripping with disdain. "Your son... that pathetic excuse for a human being was nothing but a waste of space. I did the world a favor by getting rid of him. And now, I'll do the world another favor by taking you out too!"
Silas released Josh's hair only to deliver another powerful punch, this one aimed squarely at his face.
*BAM!*
The impact sent a shockwave that rippled through the ground, causing nearby stones to tremble and dust to rise. Josh was flung through the air again, slamming against a second rock before crumpling to the ground, his body battered and broken. He lay there, barely able to breathe, his vision swimming with darkness. Yet even in his pain-ridden haze, he felt the cold hand of fear grip him as Silas approached once more, his footsteps slow and deliberate.
*[Soul Points: 150/200]*
*[Soul Points: 190/200]*
*[Soul Points: 200/200]*
The system notifications kept popping up as his soul points replenished, his strength returning with each passing second. But the drain continued, the extra soul energy beginning to fill his reserve.
*[Soul Reserve: 50/100]*
*[Soul Reserve: 70/100]*
*[Soul Reserve: 100/100]*
Once his reserves were full, Silas pressed his claws deeper into Josh's skull, a sickening pop echoing through the silence as Josh's head split open. There was no blood, no sign of life left in the husk that had once been Sensei Josh. His body was nothing more than a petrified shell, his soul fully absorbed.
*DING!*
The system notification flashed in front of Silas's eyes.
*[Congratulations, host has completed the compulsory quest. Rewards: +10 attribute points]*
Silas read the message, a faint scowl forming on his face. "Really? That's it? After all of that... just ten points?" he muttered, feeling a bitter edge of disappointment.
Before he could dwell on it further, a loud rumbling from behind caught his attention. The realm began to shake, rocks tumbling as the ground began to collapse. Dust filled the air, obscuring his vision as the landcape crumbled.
"Ah, that's right..the realm is collapsing. Time to get out of here," Silas mused, a slight smirk on his face as he turned away, his steps quickening as he dashed through the collapsing realm, leaving the remains of Sensei Josh behind in the dust.
