Chapter 9:

Tower Of Combat (Part 5)

World Quest: Escape To Reality


(After hours of ongoing battle and endless excitement from the fans, a local journalist was currently taking photos while she was ecstatic on the current warriors within the Tower of Combat.)

"Kyilei: Excuse me, you seem to be very hyped about the Tower.. Are you part of a news team?"
"Cornelae (Race: Human | Worldly Conquest Journalist | B-Type): Why of course I am! Cornelae of the Worldly Conquest's most popular news source, The Old Realm Post!"
"Anaconda: Ah, I find your news source quite delectable with juicy information!"
"Cornelae: I'm grateful you find our company to your liking!"
"Kyilei: This is actually the first time I'm hearing of the Old Realm Post."
"Imani: Your great-great grandfather was once an executive of the Old Realm Post before he stepped down."
"Kyilei: Wha???"

(As a powerful gust of wind comes from the tower, Cornelae and the others immediately turned their attention to an ongoing fight between Yinlong and Solar Magician. Yinlong's speed began to increase as Solar Magician was casting offensive magic then summons a golem of crystals as Yinlong blasts through in his 1st form of his Human Awakening.)

"Solar Magician (Thinking): Who the hell is he...?! He's blasting through all of my attacks...!"

(Solar Magician then flies on his staff to gain advantage in the air as Yinlong then pressures his feet onto the ground, jumps high into the air and throws three roundhouse kicks, releasing powerful water bullets towards Solar Magician. In an instant, an magic barrier was generated to nullify the water as Yinlong then quick steps behind Solar Magician and immediately punches him directly into the ground, creating a medium sized crater as the audience was now noticing Yinlong on the more offensive side rather than defense.)

"Kyilei: Wooo!!! Keep on fighting!!!!"
"Imani: ..."
"Primus: He's going to kill the damn guy..."
"II Fupol: And if he does... will he be disqualified...?"
"Primus: ...Possibly. Who knows?"

(Solar Magician then picks himself back up as he then was now bleeding from the head but understood he was now in trouble.)

"Solar Magician: D-Damn it... He's not only fast, he's dangerous in melee...!"

(As Solar Magician immediately switches weapons, Yinlong's aura began to grow as he was now ready to strike him down within a large radius. Suddenly, Yinlong was then blasted in the back with a stray energy beam by the already eliminated Wing Lord as Yinlong's power then depletes as he was in pain, he'd quickly heal himself as a barrage of beams was then attacking Yinlong as Trirae returns with a sinister cackle with the thirst of revenge. While Yinlong blocks the attacks, he then notices Heishe and Haiwei approaching him at high speeds.)

"Heishe: You're not getting away from me, Yinlong!!!"
"Yinlong (Thinking): Crap..! How could I let my guard down...?! Now I'm in a bad situation here..."

(Yinlong then finds the smallest opening and escapes the energy barrage as Wing Lord angerly orders the remaining Heroic Crusaders to surround and ambush him. Yinlong quickly reactivates his Human Awakening along with Eyes Of Fortune then leaps, dodges, avoids and countered any incoming attacks, along with dodging melee attacks defensively. The audience were then confused on why Trirae and Wing Lord has returned. As many fans were then considering their break-ins a cheat, Yinlong continues to fight defensively while continuing to suffer countless of attacks while being pushed to the very edge of the fifth floor of the tower.)

"Trirae: FALL, YOU MISERABLE LITTLE APE!!"

(As Trirae then charges and throws the same paralyzing bomb as before, Wing Lord then manipulates the atoms of stone into exploding stones and launches them towards Yinlong whom was still being pushed back by the Heroic Crusaders. After an explosion of the two attacks colliding, Yinlong was launched across the tower floor as he was nearing the edge while now sustaining injuries which frightens many bystanders and spectators on their feet as Anaconda in the stands then begins to make an early leave while Kyilei was then in shock on the situation.)

"Anaconda: It was fun while it lasted."
"Kyilei: Yinlong... No..!!!"
"Imani: It's a tight situation for him..."
"Spectator (M)#1: Can he even make it out of there...?!"
"Spectator (M)#2: This is unfair!!! Get rid of those two!"
"Spectator (F)#3: You can do it, Yinlong!!"

(As the tides were now turned towards Yinlong, Kyilei noticed as Primus was sensing a stronger power hidden within him.)

"II Fupol: Hm?"
"Primus: Fupol, do you sense his power level?"
"II Fupol: ..! I do... But what is that..?!"
"Primus: I heard a theory. When Update 27 came out, for Worldly Conquest, Humans were given a secret update that was not heard of until Update 30."

(Yinlong begins to stand back on his feet as his foot gives away he was one step away from falling to elimination. As the reunited Heroic Crusaders, Solar Magician, Trirae, Heishe and Haiwei surrounds Yinlong, he'd have no choice but to activate his fourth awakening of the Human Race's abilities.)

"Primus: "When the player's health is below 15%, the fourth awakening of the Human Race can be activated, granting said player the immovability and power needed in case of crowd control or pvp combat."
"II Fupol: ...! You mean he's a-"
"Primus: Superhuman."

(As his enemies were now noticing a change in power, Wing Lord aggressively flings sharp stone bullets towards Yinlong as they were impacting his body but his injuries were no longer affecting him as many spectators noticed the gusts of wind growing strong as Yinlong's body then bursts a bright yellow light and reveals Yinlong with his right eye's pupil revealed to be the shape of a fist, his aura surrounded by a silhouette of the Greek God, Hercules and next to him is a forgotten Vampire Empress as his familiar.)

"Vampiress: ...Hm.. One. Two. Three.. I could handle them myself, master."
"Yinlong: How much blood do you need?"
"Vampiress: mmm... Just enough for my powers to return."

(As Yinlong then slits his neck purposely, blood oozes from as the empress then helps herself and drinks every last bit she could as Solar Magician acts fast and fires ongoing magic towards the two as Yinlong's silhouette blocks any incoming attacks for the empress to restore her powers from her old era. As the empress then snaps her fingers, she'd awaken her 1st awakening of the Vampire race as she then summons the Vampiric Scythe, a 6 star weapon and was prepared to battle.)

"Wing Lord: ..! CRUSADERS! GET THE VAMPIRE!"
"Empress: Kneel before me, peasants."

(At the echo of her cold words, the Crusaders were forcefully controlled to kneel at her feet as Heishe quickly charges to Yinlong which triggers Yinlong into offensive fighting. As the Empress handles with the rest of the attackers including Solar Magician, Yinlong and Heishe battles in hand to hand combat as Heishe's body was beginning to gain bruises from Yinlong's melee attacks dealing thrice the damage than before.)

"Heishe: D-Damn..!!"

(She'd quickly separate to create space as Heishe then fires one Angel arrow which divides into thousands of arrows while multiplying in damage. Yinlong then pressures his weight onto the ground, leaps into the air and closes in on Heishe, leaning into her ear to whisper:)

"Yinlong (Whispering): We'll talk, when this tower is finished."

(Without hesitation, Yinlong punches Heishe out of the air and into the ground, following a seeable wave of wind forcing her down as a medium sized crater was formed after the crash, revealing Heishe was still conscious as she then activates her Angel Race's Third Awakening, allowing her fast healing and increased offensive damage for thirty seconds. As Yinlong was aware of Heishe still awake, he'd then charge directly towards her as Heishe draws a 6* sword, the Savior's Prayer which allowed her increased combat stats by 10%. As Yinlong and Heishe battles in an all out brawl, the unnamed Vampire empress was effortlessly handling the rest of Yinlong's attackers as Wing Lord begins to manipulate the blood matters of the Vampire empress to weaken her but was proved pointless.)

"Vampire Empress: Foolish... The Guardian Scepter is powerful to manipulate limited amounts of matter... But it cannot manipulate something a master has more experience with."

(With a glare in her eyes, a blood spike from underground launches Wing Lord into the air as the empress returns with her pointy heel smashing the Guardian's Scepter in half, forcing it to dissolve and become inactive as Wing Lord was then stomped on repeatedly before being kicked down through the tower once again through a new floor.)

"Vampire Empress: Oh. And stay out of the tower when eliminated."

(With a side eye, Trirae rockets towards the empress and fights in melee combat as she then throws the same attacks as Trirae to mock and irritate him further.)

"Trirae: You and that pitiful monkey are BOTH going out of this damn tower, even if I have to KILL YOU TWO AT ONCE!"
"Vampire Empress: All bark, no bite. You new generational players are quite embarrassing..."
"Trirae: WHAT?! YOU... BASTARD!!!"

(As Trirae generates enough energy to explode the surrounding area between them, the Empress backed away in time before the explosion as Trirae then enters his Beast race's third awakening to battle the empress more seriously. Meanwhile, Heishe and Yinlong were fighting all across the fifth tower floor, grabbing the attention of many fighters as well. As Yinlong then backflips to the ground, Heishe immediately fires an arrow, Yinlong dodges, summons a 1 star spear and launches it towards Heishe to catch her off guard for Yinlong to his a special move within his combat style. As Heishe turned around, she was then caught in an onslaught of punches, kicks and strong wind gusts harming her Angelic body. Yinlong then delivers a strong slash from the same sword he has eliminated Trirae with and sends Heishe away in five times the astronomical pain from the demonic presence eating her alive due to her being an Angel.)

"Heishe: AHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"Haiwei: HEISHE!!"

(As Haiwei immediately rushes in and catches her partner, she'd catch Heishe and quickly exterminates the demonic presence from her body. As Haiwei was now worried, she'd notice Heishe was unconscious and stares down Yinlong with tears in her eyes who rushed over back to fight Solar Magician. Haiwei then jumps out of the tower with the unconscious Heishe in her arms, worried about her life more than the tower event. As the empress and Yinlong regroups, fans were hyped on their feet for the ongoing fighting as Trirae was covered in bruises and bleeding cuts while the Vampire empress was unaware that her dress was ruined and revealing parts of her breasts and thighs.)

"Yinlong: Empress."
"Vampire Empress: Hm? Yinlong, the status on the two Militia contestants?"
"Yinlong: They both left."
"Vampire Empress: Excellent."
"Yinlong: Solar Magician is mine, you can do whatever to the others."

(She then chuckled menacingly as she then activates her Vampire race's 4th Awakening, giving her a powerful boost in all her stats along with her activated passive, "Screech Of The Queen", gifting her the ability to summon nearby Vampires to fight alongside her.)

"Vampire Empress: If they die, I'll blame you~"
"Yinlong: Solar Magician dies only, keep them alive."
"Vampire Empress: Oh boo...!"

(Yinlong then flashes at the speed of sound to Solar Magician who immediately by instinct dodges a yang charged punch which was faked to follow Solar Magician as a barrier of yang energy was thrown to encase Solar Magician. As the barrier was dispelled, Yinlong closes in to connect a powerful left hook, a overhead right handed axe and swings Hell's Excalibur after resummoning to connect and throw Solar Magician with a wave of negative spirits into the top of the fifth floor.)

"Solar Magician (Thinking): I-...I can't move my body... I can't.. s-save myself... This guy... is hellbent on.. killing me... w-who.. are.. you.."

(As Solar Magician's life was flashing before his eyes, he then collapses onto the ground, motionless as Yinlong approaches his unconscious body, ready to kill him until Yinlong was then warned by the Grand Wizard whom was watching.)

"Grand Wizard (Game Notice): Killing off other players within the tower is strictly forbidden, this is your first offense, Sir Yinlong."
"Yinlong: ...Tch.. Damn it."

(As Yinlong then abided to the rules, he'd throw Solar Magician out of the tower as he falls towards elimination then alike all the contestants whom has fallen, was protected by a gravitational system to prevent them from falling to their deaths and safely exit the tower arena. As Yinlong then smiles at the fact Solar Magician will not achieve his dream, he'd then notice the Vampire empress has eliminated the remaining Heroic Crusaders as Trirae remained, pissed off on the fact he was made a fool of by a Vampire and a Human.)

"Trirae: ...Tch... I swear... I swear... You haven't SEEN THE LAST OF ME..! I WILL COME BACK AND KILL YOU BOTH!"

(As Trirae then uses an energy bomb to get away from the Tower, there were no more enemies after them as Yinlong at last can deactivate his Human Awakening and ascend to the next floor. Until, the Empress next to him noticed one more challenger.)

"Vampire Empress: There's one more."

(As Yinlong turned around, he'd notice the strongest within the Tower staring him down and knew immediately, he could not defeat him with his fourth awakening on the verge of deactivating by itself.)

"Yinlong: ...I can't win."
"Vampire Empress: ...?"
"Yinlong: The others I could handle no doubt... But this guy, would kill me right here and now if he was allowed to."
"Vampire Empress: ...You're right... His level is high and his abilities are insane... Yinlong, he won't let you ascend without a fight."
"Yinlong: I know. That's why I have no choice."

(Yinlong himself then deactivates his fourth awakening for he was now in base form and prepares to fight with a martial arts combat style.)

"???: Hmm...."
