Chapter 282: Tortured Ones
"Rise my minions of the fire!" Xerxus screamed.
From the golden flames, hundreds of undead minions rose from death, and strangely enough, they were all clad in golden flames.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
While the golden flames were scorching hot, it didn't seem to hurt any of those undead minions, but instead helped them to become more dangerous and strong.
"Ice Breath!" Adam breathed out the cold, and created a wall of ice in front of the undead minions so they would be trapped.
However, the undead minions put their hands on the wall of ice, and started melting it with their scorching hot touch.
Xerxus jumped over the wall of ice, and with his wooden cane that was lit on fire, he struck down at Adam with all his might.
However, Adam blocked it with his greatsword, but still, the ice-covered ground under him started melting because of the insane heat.
Xerxus jumped back to the air, and swung his fire-covered wooden cane. With that swing, he created spears of fire that rained down towards Adam, setting his surroundings ablaze.
With his Kiryoku, Adam weaved through the spears of fire, and then he summoned his wings that immediately took him high in the air.
In the air, he exchanged blows with Xerxus.
It was a thunderous exchange, but shockingly enough, Adam won the exchange, and sent Xerxus flying down to the ground.
With strong momentum, Xerxus smashed through the wall of ice, and crashed in the middle of his undead minions.
The undead minions didn't like that and created their very own spears of fire. Then, after taking a couple of running steps, they hurled their spears at Adam, who was floating in the air.
With his insane speed, Adam evaded the spears of fire, and started flying down towards the minions.
"Ground King!"
As he crashed on the ground, the platform shook, and the undead minions got thrown into the air. They started to fall off the platform into the deep abyss below.
"The Magma Opys of-" Xerxus lunged at him with his fire cane, but Adam suddenly swung his greatsword, and cut right through him.
It was such a strong swing that another air slash flew out of the sword, and destroyed the left wall of the room. On the wall, there was only a mark of an insanely big-looking slash.
Xerxus crashed on the ground in two pieces. He was cut from waist down. The force of the swing was surprising even for him.
"The play time is over!" Adam shouted. "It's time for you to unleash your third phase!" [HP: 27%]

The golden flames turned black, and the air around him began to chill.
"The Torture Chamber!" Xerxus snapped his fingers, and on the walls of the platform, thousands of people appeared, all chained and screaming in agony.
It looked like those people would do anything to escape their pain.
The lower half of his body connected back to his torso, and he again climbed back to his feet. At that moment, chains shot out from the wall, and headed towards Adam. It looked like this place also wanted to put Adam on the torture wall just like the rest.
However, Adam grabbed the chains without any effort, and ripped them out of the wall with a single tug.
"What an evil technique." Adam stepped towards Xerxus and punched him across the face. The punch was so strong that Xerxus' face got pushed to the side, nearly dislocating his jaw. The punch also created a shockwave that destroyed another wall behind Xerxus.
It was part of the torture wall, and some unfortunate ones got hit by the shockwave, and died. However, as soon as they died, it looked like their bodies turned holy, and transparent with angelic wings, and they started to slowly ascend towards the heavens.
With the last murmurs, they thanked Adam with all their hearts.
As the rest of the tortured witnessed the sight, they started to beg for help, and soon, the whole boss room was deafening loud.
To defeat the last phase of Xerxus', Adam had to free the tortured, and help them to get to the heavens.
"No, they're mine!" Xerxus looked enraged, and swung his cane at him, but Adam grabbed the fire cane, and threw an uppercut that landed on Xerxus' jaw.
The force of the punch was so strong that a shockwave rippled through the room, and killed another dozen poor tortured souls who were trapped in the chains.
Like before, they all turned angelic, and started to head towards the heavens. With their final words, they thanked Adam.
However, Xerxus wasn't receiving any damage.
His health was still stuck at 25%.
It was because he was transferring his pain to some of the tortured souls.
Xerxus hatefully gritted his teeth, and summoned thousands of his undead minions all around him. They were all wielding weapons.
Then, from the ground, chains of the bones also shot out, and there weren't many places left
to stand safely!
However, Adam just grinned and threw another uppercut that just went through empty air. He felt like he was punching through the Mana Air.
It was because he could feel it solidly that he could create shockwave punches. Another shockwave punch flew throughout the torture chamber, and killed another hundred tortured souls. They turned angelic, and headed straight to the heaven's gates.
"Stop him!" Xerxus screamed.
The chains and the undead minions headed in Adam's direction.
Adam, with a grin, punched his fist forward, and created another shockwave that smashed
through the chains and the minions.
With just a single punch, he destroyed Xerxus' entire army!
"H-how..." Xerxus gasped in shock. "How has he become so strong?!"
With Little God's speed, Adam appeared right in front of him, grabbed him by the arm, and smashed his fist into Xerxus' chest.
The punch was so powerful that it sent shockwaves throughout the room.
Xerxus' eyes widened in shock, and he quickly transferred the pain to the tortured people.
Another two hundred souls died, turned angelic, and headed to the heavens.
If he didn't transfer that pain, he might've died!
"Keep going!" Adam grinned, and again punched into Xerxus' chest.
The ground shook under them violently.
Xerxus gritted his teeth, and again transferred the pain to the tortured ones.
Another couple of hundred souls died.
The number of the tortured ones was growing low!
However, yet again, Adam reeled in his fist and punched into Xerxus's chest. There was nothing he could do!
He was completely helpless under Adam's strength!
This punch was the strongest one so far, and the tortured ones died rapidly. It looked like every tortured soul was going to die from that punch, but somehow, only one soul survived. The soul looked to be in great pain, and was begging for Adam to save him.
As he reeled back his fist, Xerxus tried to stop him, but Adam just punched into his face.
He transferred the pain to the last tortured soul, who immediately died, but couldn't transfer
all the pain away, thus most still landed on him, and it hurt.
A lot!

"Huff, huff!" Xerxus collapsed on the ground, and breathed heavily.
However, his chest collapsed, and, then his eyes turned lifeless as the health reached the end.
