I Picked the Useless Class… Turns Out It's the Most Broken in the Game-Chapter 38: Lio’s Anger.

Muscles swell, veins start burning as rage amplifies the force.

The massive axe of his crashed down in a straight, overwhelming arc. Aren and others jumped backwards as they dodged the swing.

The axe made an impact with the ground, and it made the ground fracture outward, releasing a violent shockwave.

Aren clicked his tongue, muttered under his breath. "We are evenly matched... it’ll not be as easy as I expected it to be."

Aren dashed forward towards Lio, the speed of his movement was enough for his body to create afterimages.

When he reached next to Lio, both of them collided once again. The collision produced a huge shockwave, which made the nearby sand shoot upwards in the sky.

A huge smirk appeared on Aren’s lips as he took his right arm backwards and threw a cross to Lio’s jaw.

The punch wasn’t able to land, he dodged it by moving his head to the side at the last second, but the knuckles still brushed against his cheek, which left a small scar.

A scream left Lio’s mouth as he swung his axe towards him, creating a large arc. "I’LL KILL YOU, AREN." He said, shouting his lungs out.

Aren jumped backwards before the axe landed. He shrugged slightly as he pointed his thumb at his back. "I’m not a main character, you see?" Voice was firm.

Lio’s eyes drifted towards the direction where he was pointing his thumb, eyes of his eyes widened.

The temperature around them had started to increase at a rapid pace, and fire was being produced next to Synthia’s hands.

A magic circle had appeared in front of her palms, layered with complex runes that were burning with crimson red.

She directed her hands towards Lio, and a blazing mass of flame shot out through her palms and travelled straight towards him.

’I have to dodge it.’ Lio was about to dodge the attack by moving a bit far, but before he could do that.

He heard a voice that came from behind, and a shadow blade appeared in front of his neck.

"You think I’ll let you dodge that spell?" Leon’s voice came, firm.

Sweat welled up on Lio’s forehead, but he tried to convince Leon by manipulating him. "H-hey, listen. If you don’t let me move, you’ll die too. It’ll be nice for us to move right now." He said.

Leon didn’t reply to him, he went quiet for a moment.

’This fool is taking my words seriously?’

He gagged once, and then twice. His blood shot out through his mouth, and he raised his hand as he touched the liquid with his fingers.

His gaze switched to his fingers, crimson red coloured blood was on his fingertips.

’My blood? How?’

His gaze then shifted towards his neck, and he noticed that the neck of his shirt had been pierced by a shadow blade from the back side.

He turned his head backwards, trying to eat Leon in his grasp so that he could kill even one of them.

’I’ll kill you at least, brat.’

But Leon wasn’t there anymore, he had moved from there after piercing his neck.

Lio’s sclera turned crimson red as if the blood just passed through it whole, a scream left through his mouth. "YOU MOTHERFUCKERS!!" He said out loud.

The fire spell, which was coming towards him, hit him head-on. The flames swallowed him whole, and the impact of it erupted in an explosion.

Smoke started to get produced after it made impact with him; the smoke engulfed him.

Leon and Aren both went near Synthia. Leon had a small smile on his face.

Aren smiled brightly, hands of his hands were resting on his waist, he said loudly. "That magic was so strong, you’re so reliable, Lady Synthia."

Synthia gave a small, weak nod, a tired smile appeared on her face, and her voice came out low, barely audible. "Yeah, you both, too."

Smoke finally started to fade away slightly. Lio was still there on his knees. His axe was kept next to him, his left arm was completely severed, face was completely soaked through blood.

He gathered the last bit of strength that was left inside his body, muttered his words. "H-how did you all survive our first attack?" He said.

Leon’s eyes shifted from Synthia to Aren, who was sitting on the ground. He took one step ahead.

Aren made his way towards Lio’s body, leaned slightly inwards, and said. "It was so easy to fathom what you and Josh were planning."

"That lady over there," he pointed his finger towards Synthia and continued. "She made it easier for us to travel instantly from the carriage to the sand hill."

A tired, nervous smile crept on Lio’s face, voice came low and shaky. "P-please... let me go. If I die, I’ll lose 2 levels." He said.

Leon’s eyes remained fixated on Lio. ’Yes, the rules of Eternal Descent are harsh. You’ll lose two levels when you die. As a newbie, it’s nothing. But as a ranker? That changes everything.’

Aren let out a small sigh, closing his eyes slightly as he rubbed his finger on his temple. "Now with this, you’re making it like I’m a bad guy." He said.

"But I don’t care about it," he said as he lifted his fist up in the air and shot it downwards towards the head of Lio.

The notification about a player kill popped up in front of Leon. The panel was not of the usual colour anymore, it was made out of crimson red rays, flickering continually.
