28 The Serpent!

Kill one person, you became a murderer.

Kill a million, a conqueror.

Kill them all, a god.

But right now, in front of the Duel Fencer Academy a person is just fixated on killing one person.

The person who is fixated on killing, is the principal of the Duel Fencer Academy, Mr. Vrama Lascot.

And the person who Vrama wants to kill is none other than Dreamer.

After Vrama asked Dreamer about how he would like to die, Dreamer became scared.

He didn't even dare to joke like he did inside the academy. But he still kept on thinking logically and asked a pretty logical question in return.

"You can't kill me! If you kill me then how will you get your S rank sword? What will you say to the people who are inside? Think twice before doing anything!"

"Hahahaha! Do you seriously think that I didn't know all these things that you are saying right now! Your friend probably has the sword with him right now.

And now that you are stuck here with me, I will make sure that you spill the location of the S rank sword by tormenting you.

And I don't care about the people who are inside the academy as if I can make them leave the academy once, then I can do it again. You just worry about yourself!" replied Vrama in a sinister manner as he revealed that he wants to torment Dreamer.

Dreamer on the other hand was not feeling very well.

'I am screwed! He will kill me for sure. The only saving grace I have with me, is my plan. Let's hope for the best.' thought Dreamer in his mind as he hoped for the best to happen.

"So, boy! Do you remember when I said that I will show you something when all the people will go inside the academy?" said Vrama in a playful tone as he walked towards Dreamer in slow steps.

"Yeah, I remember it." replied Dreamer in a cautious manner as Vrama was getting closer.

"Good! But before showing you, let me tell you something." said Vrama and continued.

"You know, this appearance of mine, these glasses, this robe is not my real appearance and in this appearance I am one rank weaker than my original rank.

For example, I am originally a Pro Soul Knight rank individual but in this appearance my rank is just at Pro Grandmaster rank.

I can easily kill you in this appearance too, but I will still show you my true form so that you regret your decision to come here and steal the sword.

No one knows about this and no one really saw my true form and I want to keep it that way. So I waited for everyone to go inside and left us alone because my real form is a secret and I don't want to reveal it.

Now, enough talking just consider yourself lucky and behold my full strength!" spoke Vrama in a tyrannical tone as he stopped walking and stood still. He also broke his glasses after saying this.

Dreamer was also watching very intently and with a sweat on his face.

And in just a few seconds, Dreamer started to notice some changes around Vrama.

The air around Vrama started to blow more fiercely, his white hairs started fluttering by the air. The white snake which was situated around his neck also started moving and surprisingly it went inside Vrama's chest.

After the snake went inside Vrama, he started fidgeting and soon Dreamer noticed that Vrama's skin started shedding itself and new skin was coming into view.

His old brown skin shedded itself and a new grey skin made its appearance.

Then something unexpected happened which made Dreamer's hair stand. Two hands came out of Vrama's rib cage area and now Vrama has four hands in total.

'It's still not over!?' exclaimed Dreamer as he saw Vrama's face changing and his hairs disappearing.

Then a new face came into view and it was way more scary than the previous one.

'Is it over!? asked Dreamer to himself but continued further. '...or not!'

Dreamer said this because he noticed some changes in Vrama's legs too. His both legs were getting combined with each other and in just a few seconds, Vrama's lower body became just like a snake's lower body.

Dreamer was awestruck by Vrama's true form as he was now looking like a force to be reckoned with.

"You…done!?" asked Dreamer in a cautious manner as he was scared that Vrama would attack him anytime now.

"Not yet! Boy." replied Vrama in a more heavy voice than before.

"What!?" exclaimed Dreamer as he became really scared when Vrama said he isn't done yet.

Vrama didn't answer Dreamer's shock and just took out three swords from his space bracelet and held them in each of his hands.

He was already holding a sword in his one hand so he only took out three swords for his other hands.

"Now! It's completed." announced Vrama as he slowly opened his eyes and showed his true form to Dreamer.

Dreamer was unable to say anything after seeing the completed true form of Vrama, he was speechless.

His four hands and head were covered in red and black scales and his lower body was covered in grey and black scales. He also acquired a tail and it was red in colour.

Right now, if anyone sees Vrama in his true form then they will run away without a second thought and they will hope that they never have to encounter him as their opponent.

In short, Vrama was looking like a true monster.

"What the hell is this!? You completely changed yourself from head to toe?" exclaimed Dreamer after seeing Vrama's true form as the aura that was coming out of Vrama was so strong that it was pushing Dreamer back.

"Hahaha! Right! Be scared boy, just like that. Regret your decision!

In this form, my speed is like lightning, my movements are smooth and my attacks are lethal because these swords are coated with poison and that too with my own poison. I call this form.." spoke Vrama as he laughed like a maniac and continued in a sinister manner.

"Gilgamesh!"

'Like I care about your true form's name! I am scared for my life here!' thought Dreamer in his mind but he didn't show it to Vrama.

"Nice name!" commented Dreamer while adjusting his footing to stand steadily as the aura of Vrama was pushing Dreamer back.

"I don't care about your opinion! But boy, I must say that you are courageous. You could have ran away while I was transforming but you stayed. Still! Your death is inevitable." iterated Vrama as he again started to move towards Dreamer.

But before Dreamer can reply,

"Now tell me where is the sword?" asked Vrama while moving towards Dreamer.

"It's…with…my…friend.." said Dreamer in a difficult manner as he wasn't able to speak properly because of the pressure Vrama was emitting.

"Good! Now tell me where your friend is?" asked Vrama as he moved closer to Dreamer.

"I…don't…know…aaaaa!..." shouted Dreamer in pain as when Dreamer said that he didn't know Vrama moved very fast and cut down Dreamer's right hand.

"You…idiot!...aaaa.. dammit…!" screamed Dreamer in an angry tone as the pain was too much to bear.

And there was one more reason for his anger and that was,

[ Host has been infected with a lethal poison! ]

[ Host will die in just 5 minutes if nothing is done! ]

"Listen Boy, you have been successfully infected with poison and only I have the antidote. So just tell me where your friend is!?" asked Vrama in a more grim tone and in a louder voice.

"I…don't…. know…aaaaaaa!!" screamed Dreamer again as after hearing Dreamer's answer Vrama cut down Dreamer's left leg.

After Dreamer's left leg was cut he fell on the ground and started breathing heavily.

[ Host has been infected with a lethal poison! ]

[ Host will die in just 3 minutes if nothing is done! ]

'Just 3 minutes, I can't even use my one and only attacking skill, Fire Arrow, he is just too fast….!' spoke Dreamer in his mind.

"Dammit…..aaaaa! You bastard…!" cursed Dreamer in an agitated manner as he was deeply injured and poisoned.

"Hahaha! Scream more boy! More! Hahaha. Now again, where is your friend?" asked Vrama again while enjoying Dreamer's screams.

"Fine…!..I will….speak but you have to…come closer and…stand in front of me..then…then only I will….tell..!" uttered Dreamer while lying on the ground.

"Hahaha! I knew it. When people see their death they become like this. Hahaha. Fine. I am coming and I knew it all along that you would lose. Hahaha" spoke Vrama as he moved towards Dreamer like a king.

"You are…right! You are right in….everything! You are right about me….seeing death, you are right about me….being afraid, but….you are wrong in just….one thing and that is….I won't….lose.." spoke Dreamer as Vrama finally came and stood in front of Dreamer.

And after seeing that Vrama is standing in front of him, Dreamer with a smile shouted.

"Come out!!"

And then a white light came out of Dreamer's chest and stood between Dreamer and Vrama.

But before Vrama could comprehend what happened the white light faded and a person came in his view and that person was holding a sword which was glowing red and that person just struck the sword through Vrama's throat and then the blood started to ooze down from Vrama's throat and Vrama was looking at all this with his eyes wide open.

"How…how..is.. this…possible..!?" asked Vrama while stammering and holding his throat as the blood was continuously coming out of his throat.

"Vrama! You know…when a snake becomes too poisonous and difficult to control, a serpent is called to put it on a lease…" spoke Dreamer with a smile and he continued in a triumphant manner.,

"And…this person…right here…is…the…serpent!!"
