Chapter 39 The First Death in the Trial
[HP: 1/1450]
Stark wasn\'t dead, just injured and on the verge of dying, the warrior could honestly breath in his direction and he would die.
"BOXER SMASH!"
"-8371!" Boxer hit the witch in full force again, thinking that her spell had actually killed Stark.
It didn\'t look like it, but Boxer seemed to be the type that respected his teammates, even if they were strangers he met twenty minutes ago.
Plus… this was supposed to be a two versus two, so if it became a 1v2, his chances of victory were slim.
Stark got up from the ground as the chains had disappeared, then activated [Aura Smash], sending a crimson fist toward the warrior who wasn\'t paying attention at Stark anymore.
"6371!"
[Enemy stunned!]
\'Bingo,\' Stark smirked and dashed toward the warrior under Boxer\'s bewildered gaze.
"YOU\'RE NOT DEAD? HOW MUCH HP DO YOU HAVE?"
"…" Stark didn\'t reply, instead he focused on his target and punched it three times.
"-19281!"
The warrior was able to move after receiving this much damage, and tried to use [Strike] on Stark, who just stepped back to avoid it.
…
[Conjoined Witch HP: 13804/75000]
[Conjoined Warrior HP: 7554/75000]
Both the guardians were now head-to-head with Stark and Boxer.
Their HP was extremely low, and so it officially became a true 2V2, where the strongest would win.
"Fucking hell, these things just won\'t die," Boxer smirked, his hands trembling a bit.
"…" Nôv(el)B\\\\jnn
But of course, there was one last thing that could screw them…
"Buff!" the witch used a buff spell on her brother.
And…
"FINAL STAND!" the warrior used his most powerful skill other than domain, which was only here to put the enemies at a disadvantage.
The aura around the warrior completely changed now: the necklace with the purple gem around was glowing immensely, and in return his entire skeletal body was emitting that same purple aura.
It was as if he was using everything he had in this final attempt to kill the intruders.
Stark immediately ran toward the witch, not wasting time as he needed to get rid of her first before she could heal or transfer some of her life to him.
The warrior on the other hand went for Boxer, it was as if he had some unknown grudge against him since the first "Boxer Smash".
"Ah shit…" Boxer readied his gloves and fists, he wouldn\'t go down that easily.
[Boxer HP: 1700/1700]
Back to Stark, he rushed at the witch, and surprisingly, it didn\'t seem like she was looking at him at all.
He closed the distance, now in front of her, and saw her scepter glow with an eerie aura.
Thinking she was gonna unleash an attack on him, he got ready to dodge…
But that attack never came.
"-4728!" he hit her, which made her stumble.
But once she looked at his face again, he could see that both of her merged heads were smiling.
"What the?" he looked back, and to his horror…
Boxer was restrained by chains around his legs, all the while the warrior was only a few meters away from him now.
"Clone Frenzy!" Stark tried to summon his clone in front of Boxer to block the attack, but it was too far, only resulting in the clone appearing next to him, ready to fight.
This was the witch\'s goal: act as if she was fighting Stark, but instead help her brother by restraining the other human.
"FUCK!" Stark shouted and began running toward Boxer, he couldn\'t afford to lose a teammate in this hell hole, they still had three more guardians after this, so losing someone so soon wasn\'t an option.
Also, he remembered Boxer\'s face when he thought Stark was killed, and although he didn\'t feel much, he still respected him for going as far as feeling angry for his death.
"WAIT A DAMN SECOND," Stark shouted to the warrior, but the skeletal guardian didn\'t even budge.
Stark wasn\'t able to reach Boxer on time.
"-17263!" he was decapitated in a swift blow that dealt massive damage.
"…"
"Heal!" the witch used her spell on her brother.
"+15000!"
"…"
Stark was angry, he was absolutely mad.
He didn\'t know Boxer at all, but for some unknown reason… all he could see was red.
"RAAAAAAAHHHHH" it wasn\'t him that screamed, but his clone.
That scream brought him back to reality, and Stark\'s aura at that time was so overwhelming even the guardians could sense it.
"You\'re dead," he whispered to the warrior before dashing at him, closing the distance in a fraction of a second.
"-10389!"
[Conjoined Warrior HP: 12165/75000]
The impact was so strong that one of the warrior\'s heads broke.
Stark then ordered his clone to attack the witch, and it listened immediately.
The witch tried to cast a spell to restrain Stark, but…
"…" the clone grabbed the scepter from her hands and broke it in half, rendering her defenseless.
"Aura Smash!" it sent a crimson fist at her.
[Enemy stunned]
And what came afterward…
"-2262! -2626! -2918!"
It was a one-sided beatdown, and the witch could do nothing.
"-3261!"
[Conjoined Witch HP: 0/75000]
Her HP reached 0 and she fell to the ground.
But of course, Stark didn\'t forget about the [Conjoined Bond] skill, and so as he faced the warrior, who was holding his broken head, he also used [Aura Smash].
"-7381!"
The skeleton guardian was sent flying, and Stark immediately catched up to him.
~CRACK~
"-3251!"
He broke the arm that was holding the sword in half, and sent it away, rendering the warrior weaponless and with no means to defend himself.
"Skeletal Aura," he tried to use one of his skills to deal just a bit of damage, enough to kill Stark.
But of course, he didn\'t let him.
[Conjoined Warrior HP: 1533/75000]
"Goodbye," Stark looked at the monster with pure hatred in his eyes.
And at that moment, even the guardian thought that that kid was… a monster.
"-13172!"
Stark broke his head completely, and it died.
Now… the two siblings were dead.
[Dealt massive damage and killing blow to GUARDIANS, regaining 837HP!]
And just as fast as he came in this domain, the world around Stark shifted… and he was transported back.

"Prepare yourselves, we\'re gonna have to fight," Dreamer adjusted his glasses and spoke to Hero and Orasio.
"Why is that?" Hero raised his eyebrow.
"Because the monsters will be back in a short amount of time, and we\'re gonna have to finish them off."
"W-what about Chosen and Boxer," Orasio mumbled.
"Sorry to break your expectations, but I do not believe they will survive this encounter, I think they will put them at low HP, just enough for the rest of us to survive, but it is unlikely that they will live through it," Dreamer was logical, it wasn\'t that he hoped they died, it was just logic, no one could defeat such beasts in a 2V2.
Or at least… that\'s what he believed.
[Glass Guardians #1: Conjoined Siblings, DEFEATED]
It was the moment this panel announced their victory that Stark appeared in the middle of the chamber, a blank expression on his face.
