42 Rise and Death of Geniuses
Seeing the 'Red Blood Demon Trinket' on Benedict's hands, Rosella's expression turned serious. She knew what kind of treasure and what effect it should bring to its wielder.
"Honey, let me handle this. His trinket is a 'Rare Quality' Treasure named Red Blood Demon Trinket that can only be obtained in a Class B dungeon at Sunless Twin-Plateaus. When activated, by borrowing demonic powers from the trinket, the user's attack power will multiply three times the original for 1 minute. It's only disadvantage is that after using, the user's body would be weaken drastically for almost a week."
"Mm. Don't worry. It's alright. There's no need for you to do that. I can still handle this."
Yan's also turned serious seeing Benedict transforming in front of them while Rae kept her cold expression. She knew things had gotten complicated, but she didn't fear anything for Yan is by her side.
"Are you sure?"
Rosella was dumbfounded, not completely sure about Yan's words. Seeing her beautiful face staring at him, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Of course! Don't you believe at your husband's abilities at all? The things I can't do can only be counted by one hand but simply defeating him is not one of those."
Not far from them, Benedict's muscles are becoming larger and larger as blood vessels continuously popped out, power was overflowing in his body. His skin was staring to rip and fall off. Only his red muscles can be seen.
His original 7 feet height now turned into almost 12 feet tall. After finish transforming, he laughed wildly.
"Now you all can only despair. HAHAHAHA!"
"Oh. This is interesting. Well, even if you multiply your attack power ten times, you're still too far to contend me."
Yan kept his casual smile. Rosella's grave expression turned into shock by his declaration. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She didn't know where did he get all his confidence. She can only sigh in submission and prepare for the worse.
Even with all the power running his body, Benedict still kept most of his sanity. When he heard Yan's boastful words, he couldn't help but get more furious!
"Fool! You overestimate yourself! You think your puny strength, you can defeat me? Now that I have absolute power, I can slaughter everyone of you!"
"Kills us? Let me experience this so called 'absolute power' of yours. You three, step back. I'm going to show this muscle-brain what real strength is."
Rosella and Rae let go of Yan's arms and proceeded to follow their husband's instructions. All of the sudden, they heard thunder and lightning started to converge in the sky.
Crackle!
The original serene weather drastically changed as dark stormy clouds started to gather and cover the sky above them.
Hong!
Power surged on every cells on Yan's body. He was using all his powers to the limit. Purple lightning spewed out his eyes. With his current level, he can now tap 5% of Mjolnir's power.
The last time he had used all his power was when he was first reincarnated in this world, on his first desperate battle with wolves.
Right now, he was going all-out not because of the transformation of the enemy's strength but to show off his powers to his wives. With his learned passive skills, holy energy extruded all throughout his body.
? Skill: Holy Aura Level 5 - Will increase the attack power of all skills holy attribute exponentially. All demonic powers in 10 meter radius will be weaken by 10%.
In the eyes of Rae and Rosella, Yan right now looked like a god descended in the world. Rosella had now only knew that all his words before was not just boasting. He certainly had the strength to say so!
Rosella had even fallen more in love with Yan. While Rae on the other hand was not shocked. For her, his big brother and husband could do anything.
Snow at the rear was howling joyously. For him, the stronger his master is, the prouder he become.
Benedict felt cold sweat running in his back. Even with the help of his trinket, he still felt suffocated by the pressure coming out from Yan. The kid in front of him was not even half his age but had all the things he ever dreamed of. He had youth, beauty, strength, and women! Right now, he was going crazy with envy. He's starting to lose the grip of his sanity.
"You...bastard! How can you be so strong?! Ahh! I should have all those things! It should have been me! It's should be mine! Mine! I'm gonna fucking kill you!"
Benedict charged Yan with his full power. Yan, while Mjolnir in his hands, also charged towards Benedict. They crossed weapons with their full power!
"Coup de grace!"
"Maelstrom!"
BOOM!
Snap!
Split-seconds after the initial clash, another combination of explosions was heard.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
All of the sudden, a hoarse scream was heard.
"Aaaaargh!"
When the dust settled, two figures was seen. One was valiantly standing while the other was 20 meters, lying on the ground. Yan was standing while Benedict looking half-dead on the ground.
After the initial clash, Benedict was overwhelmed by the attack power of Yan. The attack was so strong that his beloved sword snapped in two.
Without Yan letting him have a breather, Yan attacked his two hands and lower body.
Benedict looked like an deflated balloon. The borrowed power from his trinket was now gone. His two hands and his lower body is mangled flesh. White bones were sticking out and some parts of his body can be seen anywhere. His blood flowed continuously, like a large red puddle.
Yan never showed mercy to him. If it was the other way around, he would suffer the same fate, if not much worse. He would be killed while his family be hanged and raped. This world is where the strong preyed the weak. If he wants to survive this world and protect his loved ones, he should never show mercy to his enemies.
Rosella looked at both men with complicated face. He looked at Benedict who was a Human Race genius a long time ago. But after the clash, he was nothing more than a dead person. Death had already latched onto him. She looked at Yan, her future husband, with the same expression.
Her husband would normally looked funny, gentle and perverted but now, he looked like the god of death. It would be a lie if she didn't felt slight fear looking at him but she quickly dispelled it in her heart. She was also curious with the weapon Yan's using. She didn't know if it had something to do with his parents or maybe something else that made him this strong.
She was very happy with the result of the battle. Her husband survived and won the fight! She knew today was the start of the rise of his greatness. Even someone as strong and as talented as she still love to have a strong husband to lean on. The stronger they become, the faster they achieve their goals and dreams.
"No...no...please...save me. I...I can't...I can't die. I'm a genius. I'm...a...Tudor...a Tudor..."
At this moment, Benedict Tudor had spoken his last words. A death of a Human Race genius happened today.
