Util was late. He did not see it. Nixxin had already destroyed the first tower.
Meanwhile, Kael unlocked his second gate. The gate quickly told him everything. After dying six times and reaching his seventh spawn, Kael opened it.
He raised his middle finger in front of the enemy's face. Behind him was the Depraved Gate Wrath, Ira, appearing as a small gate under his shirt.
"Andrenaline! F*** off!"
The gate activated.
It had two power sources.
First, Andrenaline. It released an insane amount of energy into the user's body.
Second, Ignore. With unmeasurable focus on the enemy, Kael ignored all damage in his body.
Red smoke spread around Kael.
The enemy pointed his gun at him.
Kael ran forward, but the enemy ran inside the tower.
Kael followed.
Before entering the tower's radius, he activated it.
"Run, motherf***er! Ignore!"
The tower fired. The enemy fired.
It was useless.
Kael kept running.
Before the enemy could blink, Kael had already made a hole in his abdomen with his hand.
When the enemy respawned nearby, the first thing he saw was Kael's hand.
This lane was all about attack or die.
Kael focused on the enemy so much that he killed him nine times.
But he had a limit.
He did not notice it.
Andrenaline and Ignore ran out.
Minions stabbed Kael in the chest. The enemy fired a shot at him. The tower finished him.
Kael died.
And he ended up in the same spot again for the seventh time.
"Shit, I did not know that passive skills have cooldown. Alright… contracts."
Kael appeared in a void. He saw all the contracts available in the scrim game.
"Hm… I think I need something that speeds me up, reduces my cooldown, and increases my life."
He read one contract.
"Wow… this is flight? Why would I need flight?"
He continued reading.
It boosted speed, reduced cooldown, and increased life.
"But why would I need flight?"
He paused.
"Hm… it only activates when I am running. I think it is pretty good."
"How much blood… ninety trillion. Storage… how much do I have?"
A bag appeared.
"You have one hundred eighty trillion blood after killing the enemy nine times."
Kael looked back at the contract.
"Alright, I will sign it."
He signed it and moved to the next contract.
"What the f***… there is a contract like this?"
It had a five minute cooldown.
It revived the user mid fight without respawning.
Kael started planning.
"Well, the last contract has three minute cooldown reduction. My life can last one minute inside the tower without the flight buff. Total of four."
He continued thinking.
"I will activate revive, then flight, then run into the tower. Then I will revive again. After that, I will activate Ignore, which lasts around two to three minutes."
He frowned slightly.
"But I will be distracted by Ignore. I will only focus on killing the enemy."
He nodded.
"Before I die, I have to regain focus so I can activate Andrenaline. Then activate Andrenaline, which reduces damage and heals me over time. It lasts the same as Ignore."
He smiled.
"Then I will have revive again. I will spawn camp him inside the tower. He will die over and over again."
Kael signed the contract.
Eight hundred trillion.
Then he signed another one that gave a movement boost every time he got hit, stacking up to fifty percent.
Cost.
Ten trillion.
Kael returned to his body and rushed toward the enemy.
The enemy lured him inside the tower again.
Kael died.
But the revive passive activated and brought him back on the spot.
He activated the flight passive.
It gave him sixty percent movement speed. His healing depended on his speed, and his cooldown was reduced.
He already had eight stacks.
He ran through the tower.
He quickly ended the enemy's life.
But after that, he could not stop running.
Not everything went according to his plan.
He had one solution.
Stop running, lose healing, and die.
Or activate Andrenaline for more energy.
He chose.
"Andrenaline."
"Shit… I already used Andrenaline."
He healed twice as fast and gained energy.
"But this is only for three minutes, and it has a ten minute cooldown. It does not reduce while active."
He tightened his grip.
"I can only kill him about seven to nine times before it runs out."
Kael grabbed the enemy's head and crushed it.
The enemy respawned.
Kael folded him like paper.
The enemy died eight times in three minutes.
Kael finally stopped running.
He ran out of energy.
He was ready for the damage.
But he was surprised.
The damage was gone.
The tower was destroyed.
The minions had taken it down.
Kael fell to the ground.
Before he could react, the enemy shot him in the head.
