My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

Chapter 120: Poison Against Death

-----

Frank's mind seemed to have blacked out.

The pain of crushing his own heart was immense, even as an Undead.

Even Hades knew that this might be a dangerous move.

But why?

Even when he was capable of healing any wound on an Undead through Death Gift, an undead-healing Death Attribute Magic Spell, why would destroying his own Heart be so dangerous?

The pain that he was able to perceive was dulled as an Undead Progenitor.

However, when crushing his own heart, he was bound to feel the pain, nonetheless.

And even more, as he would certainly die if he converted back into the living.

Frank predicted that his heart bursting out would cause enough pain to make him blackout, so he had asked Hades to take over his body.

He knew that Hades was able to do such a thing, after all, both of them were fused as a single soul.

Hades only needed Frank's permission.

And as Frank's rage began to boil, he burst his heart and created an opportunity out of nowhere, making even a psychopath with immense strength as Wasp lower his guard.

I mean… Who would actually survive bursting their own heart?

Frank's consciousness felt adrift in a sea of eternal darkness.

He seemed in a deep slumber.

But his aquamarine eyes opened amidst the darkness, glancing around.

"Where am I?"

Frank slowly began to dive through the eternal darkness, recalling what was happening.

"I… have to go back… I can't let Hades handle everything! I have to take the souls of my parents, and recover their corpses quickly…!"

Frank tried to escape this darkness and go back to reality, but he was not able to.

He dived and put his entire intent into it, but it was futile.

But he could not give up, he had to keep trying.

He had to grasp the opportunity at hand.

Hades was experienced, but he was not accustomed to handling the body of Frank, even less his powers and System.

This is why Frank could not leave everything to him.

He had to go back.

Just recalling the horrible scene of his parents brutally murdered, filled Frank's mind with boiling rage and terrible sorrow.

It was an odd, and grotesque combination, that not even his mature mentality could easily take on, it was twisting him, changing him.

And then, someone, or something, spoke.

"Is that everything you want?"

The small voice of something, something that transcended Frank's consciousness emerged amidst the darkness.

Frank swam through the darkness, reaching where the voice came.

A dim flame.

A red flame.

Burning furiously, containing a powerful and uncontrollable presence.

Frank seemed surprised, but he knew what this was.

Just before passing out, he saw it.

As he contemplated what was happening to him, something began to boil on his head.

It started small and insignificant.

But through rage, it became bigger.

It feeds on his sanity, on his rage.

And it was born from it.

Wrath.

"Is that all you want, I am asking you," it said.

"How could a Skill speak, to begin with?" wondered Frank.

"I am not a Skill. I am the embodiment of your Sin, part of you."

"Part… of me?" asked Frank.

"All Humans are sinful, but only a few can acquire the power of a capital sin."

"How did I acquire this?" asked Frank.

"You're more special than you think. Especially your rage, and your soul, they're delicious."

"Delicious…?" asked Frank.

"Will you survive before I completely consume you?"

"You…"

"Do you want to simply run away? Is that all you want to? Or do you want to unleash this rage within you? This Wrath?"

"Ah…"

"I am more than a Skill, I am you. I am the part of your soul that contains all this rage. I've used this energy to materialize into something you can use to fight back."

"Fight back…"

"So, will you keep babbling about, or will you take my power and the risks that come with it?"

Frank did not say a single word, as he extended his ethereal hand towards the burning red flame.

"I am not going to succumb to you. You will become my power," said Frank, his personality, emotions, and nature had suddenly shifted.

He had now become heartless.

And wrathful.

Frank was enveloped in the burning flames of Wrath, as Hades fought in the real world.

Wasp Glanced down below, as Frank's body had suddenly 'come back to life'.

His eyes glowed not in crimson red, but an eerie purple light.

And alongside this, purple and blue flames emerged from his entire body, covering Wasp's legs.

Everything happened in a single second.

The girl right beside him disappeared, falling inside the shadow of Frank.

Meanwhile, three figures emerged out of nowhere, as if someone had used Spatial Magic.

"Oi, is this a joke?" Wasp muttered, raising his feet.

CRASH!

A powerful kick hit Frank's face directly, sending him flying into the walls.

BOOM!

"My lord!" cried Nezhit, raising his arms as he enhanced his body with a Death Attribute Aura, clashing his enormous fists against Wasp'.

Clash! Clash! Clash!

However, Wasp raised his stinger tail, using it to intercept every fist from Nezhit, while infusing enormous quantities of poison that began to melt his arms, which quickly fell into the ground like bloody liquid.

"Nnghh…!"

"How interesting, that poison should have killed a blue whale… An Undead, huh?" said Wasp, using his tail to hit Nezhit's face, throwing his head away!

Clash!

Only half a second has gone by since then, as Ruby and Zhulong braced themselves.

"Graawr!"

Flames emerged from Ruby's mouth, as they covered Wasp's entire body.

Flash!

At the same time, she conjured the Fire Attribute Spell, Fire Whip, and combined it with the Fire Wyrm Technique Heat Wrap, trying to wrap Wasp into flames!

"What an annoying little lizard… Oh, it actually looks like a seahorse now that I think about it!"

"Roar!"

Zhulong came by immediately after Ruby, releasing a powerful breath of thunder and several lightning strikes that drained Wasp.

As Wasp was being showered in elemental attacks, Frank or Hades, quickly glanced at its side.

"Now!" he thought, as he used his perception to finally see them!

Two small flames of a yellow gold color.

Frank's parent's souls were still within the house, crying in agony.

Hades extended his soul into a claw, grabbing the two souls and immediately storing them inside his shadow while extending his shadow into the corpses!

"What are you doing?" laughed Wasp, as he began to rotate his tail around, dissipate all the flames and thunderbolts while sending Ruby and Zhulong flying through the air.

Boom! Boom!

Both of them hit the wall, as large pieces of it began to fragment and fall, the house was barely standing at this point.

Flash!

Wasp appeared within less than a millisecond near Hades!

"Nggh!"

Hades' shadow was then stepped by Wasp's feet, as the shadow struggled to free itself, slowly going back below Hades.

"How interesting, you can survive bursting your own heart? So you're really an Undead…"

Hades was not standing while glancing at Wasp, he was actually moving.

However, Wasp moved to such a speed that his movement seemed… slow.

"How should I kill you?" wondered Wasp, as Hades released purple flames once more.

Flash!

"These funny flames won't work," laughed Wasp, flashing towards Hades as he put his hand over his face.

CLASH!

Hades' head hit the ground, as he even heard that his own skull cracked a bit!

"Unnghh! Y-You!"

Hades roared, releasing an inferno of Purgatory Flames!

Flash!

Wasp counted by creating a purple barrier and becoming completely immune to them, his stinger danced around excitedly.

"Hmm… Maybe impaling your face?" he said with a wicked smile.

"Shit, this guy is serious business! Without Frank, I cannot use his Skills or System properly! I can only use Death Magic and the Skills he acquired by fusing with my fragment…! Wake up already, kid!" thought Hades, sending waves towards Frank's consciousness, as he shrouded himself in shadows and flames.

"Haha, let's wrestle a bit, you're actually taking my hits, most people would actually have their skulls exploded… Hey, that's right! Maybe we can fight until you burst into pieces!" said Wasp, as his eyes began to glow eerily.

Flash!

Wasp moved towards Hades with an incredible speed, the God was barely able to grasp his movement in time to move a few steps back, evading a punch nearing his face!

Boom!

The punch created enough shock waves to make an enormous hole in the wall, as Wasp smiled maliciously, moving his leg towards Hades stomach.

CLASH!

"Unnghh!"

Hades vomited a mouthful of blood, as he was sent flying into the air, crashing against the ceiling, and falling.

And as he fell, Hades began to conjure something.

In fact, he was conjuring it the moment he was hit by the kick into his stomach.

"This magic… not even Frank know about it! If that brat were to at least hear me out when I told him…! The runes are incredibly complex, but that is because the power of the spell is just as intense…! This monster… I don't think we can even defeat him, at best, this will create a distraction by making the whole house fall off!" thought Hades.

Flash!

Wasp glanced above him, as an enormous magic circle emerged.

"Eh?"

"Death… Cannon!"

Hades gnashed his teeth conjuring a spell that not even Frank knew, using almost his entire pool of mana into a gigantic cannon of concentrated Death Attribute Mana!

BOOM!

The cannon hit Wasp directly, as the entire floor began to crumble, the house falling into pieces!
