MMORPG: Rebirth of the Mortal Online

Chapter 276: Adam vs. Calamity



"Alright, my men, kill him." Calamity laughed.

Instead of standing still, Adam jumped over the army of men and landed in an alleyway between two destroyed buildings.

He walked backwards, into the alleyway.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Follow him!" Calamity ordered.

Since the alleyway wasn't that wide, only three men were able to stand side by side. The rest had to trail behind in a single file line.

Calamity knew what he was attempting. Attempting to pick off the men one by one as they followed him into the narrow alleyway.

However, he didn't care about that, as they only needed to land a single hit.

As the first men launched their punches, Adam blocked them with his shield and redirected the impact of their punches to the side.

When he blocked the punches with the shield, he was able to masterfully parry their attacks. It was one of the basics of being a tank, but Adam's parrying skills had reached the top of the world a long time ago!

After parrying the fists, Adam swung his greatsword and hacked the heads off the men. However, the heads grew back again, and the men kept rushing forward.

This was why Calamity was so confident.

The men couldn't be killed so Adam only trapped himself in the alleyway!

Adam didn't show any sign of defeat but instead jumped against a wall, then used it as a springboard to jump over to the crumbled roof.

The men, who filled the alleyway, wanted to climb after him but couldn't climb the smooth wall.

With a smile, Adam pulled out several poison bombs from his inventory and tossed them into the alleyway.

As soon as the poison bombs came into contact with one of the men, they exploded and covered the entire alleyway with the poison gas.

Instead of dying right away, all of the men collapsed and began writhing in pain on the ground.

It wasn't poison that would kill, but instead it was a powerful paralytic poison that would last from a few hours to an entire day!

Calamity's hundred-man army had been completely defeated!

"What?" Calamity frowned. "He has prepared poison?"

This was not what he expected and took him completely by surprise!

Adam jumped off the roof and landed at the bottom of the rubble, then gazed back up and looked deviantly at Calamity.

"So, a tank now uses poison?" Calamity frowned. "I am disappointed."

"Like I said, I am not your usual tank." Adam said and placed his shield in front of him. "However, I will defeat you as a pure tank."

"You sacrificed your speed over strength. A big mistake!" Calamity screamed and summoned hundreds of arms from his back.

However, immediately his head started aching and his nose started bleeding furiously.

His mana ocean had been completely depleted!

'It's depleted?!' Calamity's eyes widened in shock. 'I'll need to finish him off quick!'

'Finally,' Adam smirked.

This was his plan all along!

He wanted to push Calamity to use his Transformation Magick, and because of his arrogance,

he forgot that his hundred-man army skill was so taxing that his mana ocean emptied almost instantly!

Now, whenever he used more of his Magick, it was going to hurt him badly!

[-5 HP!]

Slowly, Calamity's health started to drop.

"Fuck!" Calamity waved his hand, and the hundreds of arms flew forward at Adam like a swarm of angry bees.

"Whoo..." Adam moved his shield and greatsword in perfect synchrony.

It looked like they were mending together.

With the arms swirling around him, he suddenly swung his shield and parried several of them away as he sensed with his Kiryoku that they were going to attack him soon.

However, immediately after, dozen arms attacked him from behind, but he quickly spun

around with his greatsword and cut through those arms.

Without giving him even a second to rest, the rest of the arms rained down on him

relentlessly.

Yet, the shield and the greatsword moved in perfect harmony, and he kept blocking, blocking, and blocking!

Not a single one of the arms managed to even touch his clothing!

When he finished blocking, the greatsword came in like a whirlwind, cutting through the arms with ease.

This was peak Adam fighting, and his current skills were even surpassing his old self with the shield and sword!

The Originals cheered till their voices turned hoarse. Since they were so loud, not a single Original was able to sleep, so they also came to watch the fight.

"You can do it!" Otis screamed.

"Adam!" Raquel screamed.

"It's going to hit!" Davy flinched, but then relaxed after seeing that Adam managed to defend

in time. "How is he able to keep up with all of those arms?!"

Agnes held her children's hands, and her heart slowly swelled with hope. She was able to see something others weren't.

While defending against those arms, it looked like Adam was slightly smiling.

'Is he going to win?'

The corner of her eyes was filled with tears.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The greatsword smashed through the arms, and an opening to Calamity opened up right in front of him like a door.

Calamity's eyes widened in shock, and he wanted to summon more arms as he noticed that there weren't many left, but immediately after, he felt like his head was splitting in half.

Adam jumped through the opening and appeared right in front of Calamity.

With the last remaining drops of mana ocean, he summoned one last arm from his back and launched it at Adam with all his strength.

However, Adam tilted his head to the side, allowing the arm to just fly past him, and then he swung his greatsword up.

The greatsword came up, and as Calamity had his real arm raised to summon another arm, Adam's greatsword sliced cleanly through his arm and severed it from his body.

"Ah!" Calamity coughed out in shock and watched as his arm fell to the ground with a

sickening thud.

This was his real arm, not like those fake arms!

Thus, losing the real arm hurt much more than he had ever imagined.

Calamity was stunned. His mind was empty. He knew that he had to do something, but he

didn't know what because his mind stayed empty!

With another swing, Adam sliced across his chest, leaving a deep gash that poured blood

across the ground.

"?!" Calamity coughed out blood.

With one more attack, Adam reeled in his greatsword, and stabbed it through Calamity's

chest, through his ribcage, and into the heart.

The greatsword exited from his back and nailed him to the ground.

It all happened so quickly.

"Wha..." Calamity looked at the sword in his chest, scared and shocked. "No, this can't be..."

On top of the Observatory building, everyone turned silent as their words got stuck in their throats, but their tears of happiness continued to flow.

Adam also felt emotional as he watched Calamity's life slowly leave his eyes.

This was a moment he'd been dreaming of for the past year, every night of every day.

With his body finally stopping moving, Calamity's eyes turned lifeless.

One of the S-rankers.

One of the greatest talents in the history of the Mortal Online.

Calamity Black of the Death Mercenaries had died!

Ding, ding! Adam heard the dinging and thought it was just usual notification about his kill, but no, it was

something that he had never seen.

It was something that no one in the world of Mortal Online had seen yet.

Across the skies of every dungeon floor and the New World, a strange announcement appeared

in the sky for the first time.

[WORLD ANNOUNCEMENT: Player Calamity Black has been killed by Player Adam Palestar!]
