"How are you not dead?" Carnage asked as he realized that Karl was moving.
"I am quite durable, in all honesty. However, having a hole punched through my chest was a bit more than awkward. It's just that dead and 'dead' aren't always the sa thing."
The demon laughed as Karl dismissed the Epic Golems.
"You know, I've never seen the distraction technique work before.
Many have tried it in many different ways, even to the point of trying to run away to run out the clock. But none have actually made the tir before. Is that why you saved your valuables? You knew that you could win the wager?" Karl shook his head. "No. I just wanted you to have a chance to fight for a little bit. The prisoners said that you're getting a bit tense and pent up without a proper chance to let loose and have fun these days.
If you need more paynt for the fines, I have more loot, or I can make sothing that's worth the sa."
Carnage laughed and waved his hand. "No, you've paid well enough. I will send you back to your ho world, once I find out where it is."
Karl stood up and shook the Demon's hand.
"No need. I can see myself ho with a portal. It's been a pleasure to et you in person. I t that clone of you in a System Trial set by a System created by the World Dragon. I've been interested to see what the real one was like for so ti."
Carnage smiled at him. "You know, I forgot how damnably fast Oathbreaker is if you don't use an area damage skill to hit him. Most of the ti, I would have just used a Fire Domain, but I was having too much fun today and I forgot."
A legendary rank fire domain definitely would have put an early end to the fight.
In fact, Karl didn't see Carnage use a single skill the whole ti, he was only fighting with his base strength and speed. If he had enhanced himself to fight soone of his own Rank, it would have been an entirely different story.
The big demon patted Karl on the back and waved at him in a dismissive gesture.
"Go away now, or I'll never get anything done. Next ti you find one of my prison cells set loose, just send a ssage, and we will co get it without the trespassing charge."
"Thanks, I appreciate that.
As much fun as it was to talk to the inmates awaiting trial, I really do have other things to do. Now, perhaps I can give you a parting gift. It might be sothing you like."
{Cannot Grant Skills that are already known} [Behemoth's Vitality] transfer failed.
Damn. Carnage knew Thor's skill for reducing damage? As old as that demon was, would anyone even be able to harm him anymore? It would likely need a Divine skill that ignored damage reduction to even put a scratch on him.
No wonder he loved to fight so much, it was literally impossible for him to lose. Carnage laughed. "You are but a re Immortal Avatar of the World Dragon, I am an old friend of the World Dragon God himself. Don't feel bad, there is little that he has not been willing to share with if it makes my life more interesting."
Now that was an interesting bit of news. Carnage knew the World Dragon. The actual World Dragon. How often would you ever have a chance to et soone who had spoken to your Deity, much less enough of it to call him an old friend?
"In that case, I will make you sothing to keep your life more interesting. Give just a few seconds."
Karl took out a fire elental stone at the Immortal Rank, knowing that Hawk would complain later and he would have to replace it. But it was the best option, and Karl began inscribing it with the runes to make a Summoning Stone to activate the [Epic Golem] spell.
With the runes finished, Karl held up the stone in front of him and activated [Breath Of The World], to finish the process.
{Item Created} [Golem Summoning Stone] Peerless Grade, Immortal Rank. Summons two Epic Golems of a type known to the caster.
Karl tossed the stone to Carnage.
"For you. If you get bored and need a fight, those should be better than nothing. Sorry that I can't at least make them Supre Ranked, but I'm a bit low on the power scale at the mont.
Give a decade or two, and I'm certain that I could do sothing better for you."
The big Demon laughed as he stared lovingly at the stone.
"Oh, this should do just fine. The guards take too long to heal, and they start running away during work hours if you vent on them too often. But the Golems, they will fight every ti"
Karl nodded. "That's the idea, anyhow. Oathbreaker rembers things that he shouldn't, so he might get a bit odd after a while. But if you switch it up, you'll be fine.
The stone is based on your knowledge, so every Epic Grade target that you are familiar with is a possibility for the summoning. For , it works on creatures and demons I've seen as Dungeon Bosses, but at your level? Who knows what
all will count.
You might need to do so experintation to figure it all out."
Carnage nodded. "I will find the perfect sparring partner eventually. And then I will find you when you are Supre, so that you can make a Legendary
Artifact to spar against."
Karl laughed. "If you're not a Demigod by then."
Carnage shook his head. "Don't you worry about that too much. I will be a
Legend forever. The Carnage who wants to be a God is already a God."
Karl nodded slowly. "So, are you like Oathbreaker then? You rember things
that happened to other versions of you?"
Carnage laughed, "No, I was talking about my father in law.
Now it's ti for you to go before the prisoners start getting ideas about escaping while the guards are distracted."
