Mr.Nobody: I am inside a webcomic?!
Chapter 95: How to Beat an Immortal?
CLANG!
CRASH!
BOOM!
The ruined city continued shaking as Nobody and Mr. Somebody exchanged blows. Purple flames burned across the streets. Collapsed buildings crumbled further with every impact.
Nobody swung his crowbars.
WHAM!
The strike connected for a brief moment.
Then....
Mr.Somebody grabbed both crowbars.
Nobody’s eyes widened. "Oh no."
The clone’s burning hand tightened. Purple hell flames erupted.
FWOOOOOOOSH!
The metal immediately began glowing red. Then orange. The heat spread rapidly straight through the weapons.
Straight toward Nobody’s hands. "AAAAARGH!" Nobody immediately let go. The burning crowbars fell onto the street.
SSSSSSSSSS!
The ground beneath them melted.
Nobody jumped backward. Shaking his hands. "Okay! You’re just trying to literally grill me now!"
The clone remained silent. The purple flames continued burning around him. The melted crowbars slowly twisted. Bent and destroyed.
Nobody immediately summoned new ones.
CLANG.
CLANG.
Fresh crowbars appeared.
The clone rushed.
BOOOOOOM!
Nobody barely reacted.
CLANG!
Their weapons collided. The shockwave shattered a nearby building. Chunks of concrete rained from the sky.
Nobody slid backward. His boots carving trenches through the road.
The clone advanced relentlessly without an inch of hesitation. Just destruction.
Nobody blocked another attack. Then another.
Then another.
Each impact felt heavier than before.
"Dang it! This guy doesn’t stop!"
Mr.Somebody swung his burning crowbar. Nobody ducked. Purple flames barely missed his head. The heat alone scorched his t-shirt.
The clone immediately followed with a kick.
THUD!
Nobody flew backward.
CRASH!
He smashed through a broken wall. Dust filled the air.
The clone continued approaching.
Step.
Step.
Step.
Like a monster that already knew the outcome.
Nobody slowly stood, panting. His body hurt everywhere.
The clone looked untouched. Every wound healed and every injury vanished.
Nobody pointed toward the system window. "SYSTEM!"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[YES?]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"WHERE ARE ALL THOSE DANGER-TIME SPECIAL SKILLS YOU KEEP GIVING ME?!"
The system paused.
Then a new notification appeared. Bright gold, unlike anything before.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Nobody blinked. "...Huh?"
The system continued.

Nobody stared. Then stared again. Then pointed at himself. "...What?"
The system repeated itself.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody looked horrified. "What the hell am I supposed to do with those?!" He pointed at the approaching clone. "My enemy is an immortal freak!"
The clone casually regenerated a cut across his chest. Just to prove the point.
Nobody pointed again. "SEE?!"
The system immediately responded.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[USER IS DUMB AS HELL]
(ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"..."
"...Excuse me?"
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[DUMB]
[VERY DUMB] (ㆆࡇㆆ")
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody felt offended.
The clone continued walking forward. Purple flames burning brighter than ever.
Nobody stared. Then at the clone. Then at the elemental powers. Then at the ruined battlefield.
Then suddenly the pieces connected. His faceless face somehow radiated pure mischief.
A grin appeared. "Oh....Ohhhhh. Now I get it."
The system immediately became interested.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[FINALLY]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody pointed dramatically.
"System."
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[YES?]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
"Can I use Infinite Crowbars here?"
A brief pause followed.
Then....
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[NOW YOU’RE TALKING]
( ≖‿ ≖ )
[YES]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody laughed. It was a dangerous laugh. The kind Ren would’ve immediately recognized as trouble. "Perfect."
The clone rushed. Purple flames erupting around him.
Nobody pointed at him. "Let’s cage my immortal knock-off version."
Mr.Somebody swung. Nobody teleported.
FLASH!
The attack destroyed another building.
BOOOOOM!
Nobody appeared above the battlefield. Then raised both hands. "INFINITE CROWBARS!"
The sky darkened.
The clone stopped. Even Mr.Somebody looked upward.
Then....
WHOOOOOOSH!
The first crowbar fell.
Then another.
Then another.
Then twenty.
Then fifty.
Then hundreds.
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
CLANG!
The battlefield transformed into a metallic storm.
Crowbars rained from the sky like a natural disaster. Like Nobody had finally lost his mind. Well which was probably true.
The clone immediately started smashing them. Destroying them, burning them.
But there were way too many.
100.
101.
102.
103.
The numbers continued increasing.
Nobody looked directly at us. Then pointed toward the battlefield. "Yeah guys. You guessed it."
The crowbar rain intensified. "I am planning on trapping this dude."
The clone continued fighting. Purple flames erupted.
Crowbars shattered. Yet more kept falling more and more.
And more.
The ruined city slowly disappeared beneath mountains of metal. Entire buildings vanished, roads vanished. Everything became buried. Eventually....Mr.Somebody disappeared too. Completely buried.
A giant mountain of crowbars now occupied the battlefield.
Nobody slowly landed. Then looked at the gigantic pile. "...Okay. Step one complete."
The pile suddenly shook.
CRRRRRRACK.
Purple flames erupted from within. The clone was trying to escape, trying to regenerate. Trying to break free.
Nobody immediately raised one hand. Red mana gathered.
The system recognized his intention.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[FLAME MAGIC ACTIVATED]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody grinned. "Let’s cook Somebody."
FWOOOOOOOOOOOSH!
A gigantic sea of flames erupted. The mountain of crowbars began glowing Red, orange. The metal melted slowly. Then rapidly. Liquid metal flowed everywhere.
The clone’s silhouette became trapped inside. The more he struggled the more metal surrounded him.
Nobody increased the flames. The ruined city glowed bright orange. The heat became overwhelming. Even the air distorted. The mountain transformed into a massive pool of molten steel.
The clone remained inside trying to escape and failing to do so.
Nobody pointed. "Still immortal?"
The clone answered by screaming. Purple flames erupted again. The metal shook.
Nobody immediately raised his other hand.
Blue energy exploded outward.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[ICE MAGIC ACTIVATED]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
CRAAAAAACK!
The temperature plummeted. The molten metal cooled instantly. The glowing liquid hardened. Solidified and locked. The entire mountain became a giant metal prison built entirely from crowbars.
The clone’s arm briefly emerged. Then froze.
Nobody folded his arms proudly. "There."
The battlefield became silent. The clone stopped moving. The metal prison remained completely intact.
The system appeared.
Several golden notifications filled the sky.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[FINAL BOSS DEFEATED]
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody froze. Then immediately looked upward.
The notifications continued.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Mr.Somebody Defeated
꧁⎝ 𓆩༺✧༻𓆪 ⎠꧂
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Stage 8 Cleared
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
All Tutorial Stages Completed
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody’s eyes widened.
The next message appeared.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Reward Granted:
FACE
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody froze.
"..."
"..."
"...WHAT?!"
The system continued.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Reward will be granted
upon return to user’s world.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody stared. Then screamed. "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSS!"
His voice echoed throughout the ruined city. The sky itself seemed to shake.
He jumped. Then jumped again. Then pointed triumphantly toward the giant metal prison. "I DID IT!"
The system remained silent.
Nobody pointed again. "I BEAT THAT IMMORTAL SOMEBODY!"
The system finally replied.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
[CORRECT]
(⸝⸝> ᴗ•⸝⸝)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Nobody laughed.
For the first time since entering the tutorial the pressure disappeared. The fear disappeared. Everything was over.
The centipedes, the brain monster, the slime king, the golem kong, the demoness, the Skyblader, the muscle Bob. Mr.Somebody, all of it.
He at last survived and cleared every stage.
And somewhere far away, Ren was probably smiling.
Nobody looked toward the glowing sky.
Then raised both fists. A huge grin spread across his faceless face.
"Tomaa!!"
"I’m finally coming back."
