Deranged Writer's Afterword

'Clang'

Several beastpeople watched in awe as Max and Adam fought toe to toe, the fight wasn't something out of the world, these people were just starved for entertainment.

To Max, it felt like they had been fighting for a long time. The both of them hadn't used their skills till now and the extended fight was taking a toll on their bodies....well on Max's body.

" Adam.....this doesn't need to happen.....just stop."

Adam ignored him and once again thrust his spear forward.

Max swerved to avoid the blow but the spear managed to graze his shoulder making him bleed once again. Swiping away the blood, the frown on his face deepened.

Max has always found it hard to control his anger and right now...Adam was pissing him off.

'I need to beat him, Max thought switching to the offensive.

Adam might be physically stronger than Max, but Max had a whole array of skills and not to mention a top-notch technique as well.

Max took in a deep breath and steadied his rapidly beating heart, he couldn't lose focus while using this technique...

Max's mother was an S-class Hero, The Blood Queen.

The Blood Arts was an ancient technique that she acquired from a dungeon, its basic form allowed the user to use their blood to form attacks. But as the user became more proficient in using the technique, they would learn to use the blood of others and be able to manipulate it at will.

It was a formidable technique that made his mother famous.

Right now, Max could only use about 30% of its true power, he hadn't learned to control the blood of other beings as well, but Max knew that he would succeed...all he needed to do was work hard.

But this was not the only gift his parents had left him.

Max's father was an S- class hero just like his mother.

The Rolling Thunder.

That was the name his father went by, his father may have been strong but it was painfully clear that he had a trashy naming sense.

Anyway, his father left behind the technique he practiced as well.

The name of the technique was, [Thunder Void].

Just like [Blood Art], it was an extremely powerful technique that allowed the user to conjure and tame lightning. It was a rather straightforward technique, but when compared with [Blood Art] it was much harder to learn.

Right now, Max could bring out 15% of its true potential.

Through intense effort and godly luck, Max somehow managed to fuse these two techniques to make his very own technique,

[ Ouroboros ]

But Max could only use it as a last resort for now since it was too much for him.

As Max opened his eyes, he was strangely calm.

Max knew what he had to do, he was going to knock Adam out and run away from this shitty place.

'Clrzz'

As Adam thrust his spear once again, he failed to notice the small sparks that endowed Max's sword.

As their respective weapons made contact, the sparks quickly traveled to Adam, reaching him through his own spear. Adam tried to let go of his spear, but it was too late.

'BRRZZT'

Max smiled as Adam fell, smoke rose from his body because of the action of the small spark.

[Stun] was a basic form of the [Thunder Void]

As Adam slowly got up, Max wasted no time and cut himself with his sword, resulting in blood pouring down from his body. The blood that came out flew up into the air and together the blood droplets made a sphere of blood.

Max had become quite pale now since using [Blood Art] did put a slight strain on his body.

The sphere of blood split repeatedly to form small needles of blood, they were all aimed at Adam who had finally managed to stand up.

[ Blood Art: Red Needle]

Max once again wasted no time as he charged at Adam.

Their weapons clashed causing sparks to fly up, but these sparks came right back down and once again attacked Adam,please visit

[ Thunder Void: Stun ]

Instead of falling down, Adam somehow managed to hold on but sadly for him, the needles that had been hovering in the air came rushing down to greet him giving him no time to catch his breath.

" ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Adam screamed as several blood needles pierced his body and this time he did fall helplessly to the ground.

" Let's stop this...….you can't defeat me, Adam.", Max said preparing to knock him out.

" Y-you're right.....I can't defeat you right now....", Adam said as he surprisingly stood up once again.

" You know Max, sometimes when I get angry about you and my sister, I fantasize about fucking your mother."

...

Silence prevailed as everyone became shell-shocked at Adam's abrupt proclamation.

" I grew up jacking off to her.....she was truly my ideal type. It's a shame that she was killed."

.....

" If I saw her right now, I would ***** **** and then I would **** ***** **** ***, huuuuuuuu, just thinking about her is making me horny. Maybe, I should pay her grave another visit...."

....

As Adam continued on, the image of his mother's smile cracked in Max's mind.

" YOU.....YOU.....YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT !"

As Max rushed toward Adam, he cut himself again leading more drops of blood to join the sphere, the sphere had become quite large now.

Max knew that Adam was purposefully trying to tick him off.....and it was working.

Max let go of his sword and raised his hand high up in the air, the sphere of blood gently levitated above his hand and started to change its shape. It slowly changed into a huge scythe.

Sparks of electricity enveloped the scythe adding another layer to the blood scythe.

[ Ouroboros: Serpent Scythe]

Max swung the scythe, going in for the kill.

…for the kill?

'Kill ?'

The scythe vanished as Max realized that he was about to kill Adam.....

' I need to calm mys-'

'Thump'

Max fell, his body was sore and everything hurt.

" You really are.....foolish.", Adam said looking down at Max, his grin wider than ever.

Feeling that he needed to run, Max tried his best to run away but all he could do was crawl slowly, Adam slowly walked behind him as if he enjoyed watching Max struggle.

Out of nowhere, the old wolf yelled,

" The trial is complete...Adam Creed is the winner."

Max was out of bounds...making Adam the victor.

'I'm alive...at least...", Max thought consoling himself.

" I'll see you on the other side."

That was the last thing Max heard before he...no the entire arena was engulfed in black flames. As the flames disappeared, the crowd was astonished by the extent of the damage the flames had caused.

Adam Creed only remained within the arena.....which could mean only one thing-

- Max Reynolds, the protagonist....was dead.
