Ch 25 : Losing the last chance to save her

After it He said "Melissa, don't worry, I'll definitely make you like before but first I'll kill this bastard. He dared to did such a dangerous attack on my wife infront of me. Even gods can't save him now.

Why this is having to her. Why I am not at her place... Melissa, she just came here to save me but she is now in this condition because of me. I'll not let that filthy skeleton go.

That Skeleton started laughing and said "Its fun to see you stupids crying. One is dying and one is trying to save. I last saw this same incident nearly twenty years ago when I attacked over a couple and killed them both. They cried so much just like you too when they were dying. Trying to hold eachother's hand in their last breaths. I'll give you three chances, If you can kill me in three then you win and if you can't then I'll kill you all mercilessly"

(Isabella then came in her demon queen form and started attacking over that skeleton and giving him hard competition, the skeleton also surprised after seeing her extraordinary strength. He can hardly block Isabella's magic sword strikes with his magic staff.)

"You are not something like ordinary demon, why you have such powerful killing intent and extraordinary magic abilities" He asked while blocking attacks and because Isabella was also in anger she just ignores his questions and continued attacking.

Karthik was still holding Melissa in her arms and trying to less her pain with everything he have but he is unable. After seeing him so much worry Melissa said hardly "Master... I was just a ordinary serpent then why are you so worried for me. You have Isabella to accompany you. I never expected the person who defeated me will cry for me oneday"

Karthik then made Melissa sit with a wall and said "Melissa, I dont care about your identity, your behaviour, your mentality. I only care about you. I love you as you are. And most importantly stop talking like you are dying. Just keep trust in me, I'll definitely save you, so please bear this pain for little longer and I promise it won't take long."

Melissa then said with smile "I am already half burned, I am not beautiful like before. I can't even have love you now. Why you want to save me."

Karthik then kiss Melissa's head and said "I'll save you. I'll definitely save you"

Karthik then got up from his place and his body started emitting crimson dark aura he took out his sword and started walking towards that skeleton who eas fighting with Isabella.

While walking Karthik used a wind magic and pushed back Isabella from there and she got slightly hurt and then Karthik said "Isabella, Thanks for stopping him from being escape. Now leave it to me."

Skeleton was also in anger now so he started using his magic on high level and he started floating in air and then he created Ice and fire balls and then converted them into spikes and said "Human, what you think of yourself, you are just my dinner. Why are you so eager to die?" He released those spikes towards.

Karthik uses lift his hand forward and blocked all spikes with a magic shield and said with full killing intent "Filthy skeleton, I stayed my whole life alone, Then one day I got a girlfriend but just for name, but still I loved her but still stayed alone and when I died I open my eyes in this world. I am not from this world but I am most familiar with this world. And it's not the first time when I am killing you. I has killed you over thousands of times..."

That skeleton was shocked from inside after seeing that Karthik easily blocked his attack. Then he uses another magic attack and said "In your dreams. I am the lord of this region. I am the strongest here even you demi-gods can defeat me in my territory"

Karthik blocked his all attacks again and said "Isabella was first from one of my dear loves but I spent most time with Melissa, they are both important for me more than my life. But today you not only hurt them but also made my Melissa suffer that painful pain. I am going to give you a really painful death."

Karthik then roared like a beast and dashes towards that skeleton and that skeleton casts a spell but before that with light speed Karthik already destroyed that skeleton's power core which made him suffer a lot of pain. Due to he destruction of power core that skeleton's curse removed and he started converting into a human and Karthik was waiting for it.

At that time the system screen popped out [You successfully completed the mission. You got Mission Reward - Fifty thousand gold bars and new lover 'Claire, the princess of Ice empire'.

Extra reward - SS+ rank skill 'Love leveling'.]

Karthik then became normal and came near Melissa who was already in Unconscious state and was in middle of life and death. Isabella was sitting next to Melissa and trying to wake up her by taping on her cheeks.

"Karthik, why she is not opening her eyes,I am scared, I don't want to lose her. She was my only bestfriend who did everything for me without any selfishness. Please save her" Isabella also got tears in eyes.

Karthik started searching for healing potion and then he bought the Holy recovery potion.

[Holy recovery potion - cost 40,000 gold bars.

This is the potion created with the water of life and elixir from tree of life and was crafted by goddess of life. This potion can give life to person who died one day ago. This can also heal any type of injury and wound and even soul injuries. This is very rare and have only 0.0001 percent chance to drop after killing the world boss Megathyrus.]

Karthik then took out that potion from virtual space and said "Isabella, don't worry. This recovery potion can definitely bring her back to life."

Isabella was happy because she have a chance to save Melissa but looks like it is difficult for them. The fallen mage skeleton uses his last sneak attack before disappearing and attack over that bottle of recovery potion. And broke it.

In that attack the potion bottle got destroyed and due and got mixed with ground. The whole lava got converted into water and that all place started changing into a beautiful valley.

But Karthik was in sharp shock. He lost the last way to save Melissa and soon Melissa's heartbeat stopped and her body started getting cold.

Karthik hugged Melissa and started crying and Isabella also can't stop her years started sobbing. That Skeleton said his last words "Stupid bastard, you somehow managed to defeat me but before disappearing I am going to end your all ways to save your girl so you can remember me you whole life. Hahaha"
