Chapter 98 "You Lost, Caelum"

With every inch of space around him covered by destructive beams of energy, Ryuk reacted instantly.

"Activate Frost Veil!"

Immediately, the world turned to that of rigid ice as all other beams instantly paused in their path.

Yet, they were still strong enough to speed forward toward Ryuk a bit later, albeit slower than before.

But that delay was all Ryuk needed.

His scythe flashed forward with speed around his body, ripping apart all the beams of energy and instantly carving an open path.

He burst out of the dome of beams, the entire area around him exploding as the beams smashed into the ground, sending a mushroom of energy across the skies.

Caelum watched as the mushroom of energy slowly quieted down, and he couldn't help but think:

'Perhaps I have overdone it.'

But quickly, just as the thought came, it was thrown out the window as Caelum watched a figure slowly step out of the mushroom of energy, his humongous scythe dragging down behind him on the golden sand.

"He survived that?"

"I take back my words..." Ryuk's voice resounded from the distance, yet his figure was already flashing forth with speed.

He appeared once more before Aegis, his scythe cleaving down.

Aegis instantly clasped forth his palm, a shield appearing and blocking the strike.

But in the next instant, Ryuk faded away as he appeared by the side of Aegis, his knee crashing forth and slamming into Aegis's left ribs, sending the chubby guy flying away into the distance.

Once more, Ryuk picked up his fallen scythe and tightly followed.

"Your ability is truly an amazing one. It can block attacks and also reflect them back..."

"But unfortunately, you are matched with me, who possesses the Nano-Reaper."

"You see, my little scythe here just so happens to possess the ability to draw away Apex Energy from Apex Energy constructs and use it to strengthen itself."

"All my scythe needed to do was draw away the Apex Energy that made your shield so durable and unbreakable."

"It devours the energy for its strength, and as a result, your shield weakens over time, while the scythe itself becomes sharper."

"Eventually, your shield runs out of power, and my scythe grows sharp enough to sever your unbreakable shield."

Ryuk said this as he arrived above Aegis, and once more, he cleaved down the scythe as Aegis hurriedly conjured a shield, only for it to get instantly cleaved apart, this time even faster than previously.

'How do I explain it to my family?'

'How?'

'How can I lose to a trashy human?'

'No, I won't lose!'

"NO, I WON'T LOSE!" Caelum screamed out as he stared back in front of him, hundreds of cards pouring out of his robes.

He prepared to fling them outward toward Ryuk, but then Ryuk wasn't at his front anymore.

"You fell for it..."

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!!

In the next instant, Caelum stood in shock as he felt the end of a scythe slice through his right shoulder, blood splashing out violently as his entire right arm was instantly cleaved off.

"Wh...What?"

In the same instant, a heavy force slammed into Aegis's back, as he was sent erratically flying away from the place, smashing to the ground and sent flying into the air.

Right above him in the air was none other than Ryuk, whose gigantic scythe flashed forward with frightening speed.

Caelum hastily flung the card in his left hand upward.

Immediately, destructive rays of energy erupted forth, piercing toward Ryuk.

But Ryuk made no effort to avoid it as the light beam carved straight into his body, but with him still following up with his attack.

Caelum watched as the scythe inched closer and closer toward his neck, and then...

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!!

The entire world around them cracked to pieces as Aegis collapsed onto his back, his hand firmly grasping his throat, which was slowly oozing with blood form a thin red line formed.

"Winner of the Match, Ryuk!"

The Fallen Lady's cold announcement rang throughout the room as Caelum turned in shock to look at Ryuk, who was standing just a few feet beside him.

"You lost, Caelum." Ryuk reminded him before stepping away from him, heading to his seat.

"How... How?"

Those were Caelum's last thoughts before his consciousness darkened, and he fell to the ground, blood oozing out of his right shoulder, as he was soon taken away from the hall by an instructor.
