Chapter 72: The Fate of A Traitor
"Right! Even if you're Nergal, you're only alone. And all of us are more than enough to kill you!"
Ryan didn't reply at all.
"To be honest, if it weren't for those resources of yours then I wouldn't have discovered the secret behind human cloning." The Eclipse proudly said as he felt that he had won this battle, "Why are you silent now? Where is your pretentious attitude? Come on Nergal don't disappoint me, I want to see your miserable face!"
All of his clones emitted their powerful killing auras. Then they all laughed in unison.
"No matter how many times you clone yourself, ants are still ants." Ryan casually replied. He didn't hesitate anymore and lunged toward one of the Eclipses.
Seeing that Ryan was already on the move, the entire Eclipse clones immediately surrounded him. They began to leap and attack from all directions.
The war god Ryan broke the collarbone of the Eclipse in front of him with one blow while dodging the attack from his left.
Suddenly, three people immediately attempted to attack at the same time. Ryan immediately flipped through the air, avoiding the combined attack. But just as he was in midair, a knife shot and hit Ryan's shoulder.
They didn't need to rush in killing Rya. Their aim was to erode his stamina and make the guy die from exhaustion.
Ryan's heart started to clench. The Eclipse's attacks came from all directions and felt like it was never ending. No matter how he smacked them, they would immediately stand back up.
"Hmmm ... strengthening medicine?" It was clear that they already had sufficient preparations to kill him today. Their goal was to tire him out and end it at that.
The only way to end this was to kill them all!
At this time, Ryan had already killed 5 people. However, Eclipse's attacks still came from all directions in an endless stream. This made Ryan tired because his internal energy was running low. Moreover, he also had to endure that mysterious power.
Suddenly, he had an attack on his back. Eclipse saw doubt on Ryan's face and managed to hit it. The attack was very fast, so just one second off guard, Ryan could get hurt. The man had done his best to kill anyone who approached him, but another Eclipse would immediately attack his blind spot tirelessly. They were willing to lose one clone if it could hurt Ryan!
Whoosh!
A knife cut Ryan's shirt, but unfortunately the attack was not deep enough. When Ryan avoided him by jumping backwards, a flying blow was already aimed at the back of his head from behind him. Ryan reacted quickly and grabbed the hand and slammed the person.
Ryan started to run out of breath. The mysterious power in his body seemed to be pounding on the door of his consciousness, about to engulf him whole.
Cold sweat started pouring out of his forehead and the Eclipse clones around him started laughing.
"Hahaha you will be finished in a moment!"
These clones felt that they had succeeded in making Ryan exhausted, so they enjoyed this precious moment.
"Die!" At that instant, one of the Eclipses lunged and kicked Ryan. When that person threw his leg, Ryan just stood still and stuck his fist toward his crotch. In an instant, the Eclipse collapsed while clutching its genitals.
It turned out that they are still that naive feeling they could beat him easily.
"As the saying goes 'Tigers die from their stripes'— today hell will welcome you!"
Some of the clones immediately lunged back and Ryan painstakingly switched at defensive mode while enduring his mysterious power. He then felt his five senses lose their function and the Eclipse's attacks had hit him from all directions.
He felt that his chest had been hit and when he was bounced off by the momentum, he was kicked from behind. The Eclipse struck him in the ribs at the same time from both left and right and they were closed with a kick aimed at his face.
However, the attacks didn't stop. An elbow strike that hit his chin made Ryan fall on the ground.
Pain from outside and inside his body put him on the edge.
He even felt the presence of a God of Death nearby!
Was this the end of his life? Was there really no other way?
"Hahaha even an elephant will lose to a herd of ants! You really are pathetic!"
The sound of annoying laughter echoed in Ryan's ears. But he had decided something inside his mind. He couldn't die— at least not by the traitor's hands!
However, the pain he felt was truly tiring in his soul. He struggled to his feet with difficulty.
"Wow, well, haven't you given up on this rancid bastard? Come here if you're still strong, don't you want to kill us all?" When the Eclipse saw Ryan trying to stand with such difficulty, he thought he had the upper hand. Another wave of attack came charging at Ryan.
"I can't die!" Ryan who fell back on the ground continued to instill his determination.
He kept saying these things to bring himself to his senses, but the pain was starting to overpower him.
Was this the end of the journey?
Just as he began to accept this fact, an idea came to his mind.
Didn't his grandfather give him medicine? The one that he should only drink at critical times?
Without hesitation, Ryan tried to take the medicine while continuing to endure the attacks of the Eclipse.
However, the combined attack made it difficult for Ryan to take the medicine in his pocket. Not to mention that his mysterious power was eating him from within.
'I won't die by these traitors!'
Ryan bit his lip, trying to think of a way to find an opening for him to take the medicine. The only way was to fake a hit and fall back down, because the Eclipse was busy laughing at him at that time.
DUAK!
Ryan received another blow to his chest and fell back down. The Eclipse grinned at the sight even more.
It was at this time that Ryan took the medicine and swallowed it with great difficulty.
Seeing that Ryan took something out of his pants and swallowed it, Eclipse ignored him and laughed, "Why? Did Nergal forget to take his diarrhea medicine? Ah I forgot that you were actually sick. But soon you won't have to suffer anymore."
After saying so, the Eclipse's clones took out their knives, "It is time for you to die!"
Then some of them lunged forward. At this moment, Ryan felt a tremendous amount of energy entering his body. The power was met with mysterious power and fought intensely.
Thanks to the medicine, Ryan's mysterious power had calmed down again and his body felt no pain at all. However, that was not how Ryan felt at all. He felt that his inner strength soared to abundance!
In an instant, Ryan recovered to his prime state. His injuries began to dissipate and his body was overflowing with internal strength.
In the midst of this shock, several knives had flown towards him.
Ryan quickly slapped the ground and stood back up. He disappeared into a wisp of smoke and charged forward. He swiftly parried all of the floating knives.
Ryan's awakening took the Eclipse by surprise. Now, the man was back in their midst.
"Time for you to die!" Ryan said it with a cold tone and overwhelming killing aura.
Eclipse shivered at the words. He felt that this Nergal in front of him was different from the previous one.
Ryan turned back to smoke, and quickly charged towards the clones with the knife in his hand. The last thing the five Eclipses saw was the glint of Ryan's blades, for all they saw afterwards were their heads rolling.
Fast and clean!
Ryan then threw the knife and killed one of the clones as it hit the chest. By the time the knife stuck, Ryan had already broken the neck of another clone.
The Eclipse clones tried to escape but it was all useless. Ryan's current speed and strength were different from the previous one and it was truly terrifying. With just one step, the man took his life.
Ryan, now the real incarnation of God of War, one swing from him was enough to decapitate their head!
The current Eclipse was completely silent.
'Where was your courage earlier?'
In an instant, all of the Eclipse clones died at Ryan's hands.
Now only Ryan was standing alone, his face and clothes covered in blood.
When the War God Nergal burned in anger, not even a thousand deaths could satisfy his wrath.
Ryan stood alone amidst the pile of Eclipse corpses.
Looking around, he could tell that the ones fighting with him were all clones. The real Eclipse couldn't possibly have put his life in danger, and Golge wasn't here after all.
