Red s.h.i.+ning eyes were s.h.i.+ning through the mask and dark smoke came out of the mouth of the skeletal being as it was breathing. And as Sc.r.a.ppy was only three away from this strange creature, its eyes seemed to suddenly focus on him as if Sc.r.a.ppy wasn't noticed before that. The creature swung its arm in Sc.r.a.ppy's direction and a strong Wind filled with dark smoke reeking of death and rotten meat stopped sc.r.a.ppy in his tracks.

Sc.r.a.ppy nearly was blown away by that wind but he just couldn't take his eyes away from this magnificent piece of sc.r.a.p that was s.h.i.+ning through the bones of his enemy´s rib cage. Completely made out of purple metal that pumped dark vapor through invisible veins. Sc.r.a.ppy just had to have it, this magnificent one of a kind piece of sc.r.a.p, so he used all of his strength and resisted the Wind of death.

Sc.r.a.ppy never encountered such a situation, usually he would just take all the sc.r.a.p he wanted but this time he just couldn't reach the piece of sc.r.a.p his heart was craving for. Sc.r.a.ppy had no choice he had to have this piece of sc.r.a.p so for the first time in his life he started to strategize, he looked around and saw the sylphids and Junky still slammed against the wall bound by this strange dark energy.

There was still a high amount of sc.r.a.p lying around so Sc.r.a.ppy couldn't see the whole room but he could still see a giant decorated door on one of the walls. But as Sc.r.a.ppy was looking around the room and thinking about a strategy his enemy was still locked onto him, the skeleton screeched with an ear-deafening sound grabbing the nearest piece of metal it could find and threw it at Sc.r.a.ppy when it noticed that it's dark magic didn't work on Sc.r.a.ppy. But never did the skeleton imagine that not only was throwing metal pieces at sc.r.a.ppy not effective but also this strange metal being started catching and collecting every single piece with glee.

But now the dark skeleton seemed to p.i.s.sed as it grabbed the nearest blunt object it could find, an ornamental scepter to be precise and walked in Sc.r.a.ppy's direction while something was clackering behind the mask. The skeleton swung this golden scepter at Sc.r.a.ppy and even Sc.r.a.ppy thought that it wouldn't be a good idea to be hit by that. Sc.r.a.ppy quickly evaded by jumping but still used the chance and started snipping away from this skeleton with his adamant.i.te tin-snips.

The skeleton howled in pain as Sc.r.a.ppy even hit its heart once leaving a tiny wound behind and blasted sc.r.a.ppy away with a strong burst of death wind while it turned around and walked to the giant door. It pushed the door open and surprisingly several creatures were chained to the wall hanging on their arms. Some of them were dead with a big hole in their chest that was cut open by something very sharp, but about half of them were still alive and trapped in some kind of stasis.

The skeleton walked to one of the humanoid creatures that were still alive and raised its arm, suddenly dark flames gathered around the hand of the Skeleton and it rammed its fist right into the chest of one poor creature. The dark flames seemed to melt the flesh and bone away before the skeleton ripped something out of the chest of its poor victim. The flame around the hand stopped and Sc.r.a.ppy could see a beating heart in the hands of the skeleton while the victim seemed to have woken up as it started mumble strange words like it was praying.

The skeleton held the up to his face and squashed it with his fist, the heart transformed to some kind of dark vapor that flew into the purple heart of the skeleton, every wound the skeleton took was instantly healed and the dark flame that was just encompa.s.sing its hand, flared up and was now around the whole body of the skeleton.

But the skeleton wasn't finished before Sc.r.a.ppy could react it already reached its next victim and also ripped out the heart while the intensity of the flames increased. Sc.r.a.ppy knew that he could come near the skeleton anymore because of the fire but he could also feel the burning desire in his magic stone heart to obtain the purple heart. But now sc.r.a.ppy had to evade as the skeleton started throwing dark flames after him, Sc.r.a.ppy was evading for several minutes when he noticed something strange. He was just evading one of the fireb.a.l.l.s and it would have hit the ceremonial dagger lying on the strange stone pedestal in the middle of the room they hit an invisible wall.

At first sc.r.a.ppy didn't think much about it but when a second and third fireball were stopped in the same way he slowly evade so that he would reach the stone pedestal. The skeleton suddenly noticing what sc.r.a.ppy was doing started rus.h.i.+ng to the pedestal too. Sc.r.a.ppy reached it first grabbed the dagger and stabbed after the skeleton, unfortunately, the dagger just lodged itself into the shoulder of the skeleton and got stuck.

The skeleton screeched in pain and angrily tried to grab sc.r.a.ppy, but sc.r.a.ppy ducked down and the skeletal hand missed him but went right into his bucket. Sc.r.a.ppy quickly pushed the skeleton away, which flames intensity was drastically reduced after it was. .h.i.t with the dagger. But Sc.r.a.ppy´s heart sunk when he saw what the skeleton was holding in his hand. Most people would call this random piece of metal, trash or sc.r.a.p but to sc.r.a.ppy, every piece of sc.r.a.p that he collected was precious to him that's why his heart was aching when this piece of metal melted in the hands of this skeleton.

The molten metal dropped onto the floor and unforgiving rage overcame Sc.r.a.ppy, and suddenly sc.r.a.ppy felt a power surging up in his mana crystal heart. Several pieces of metal that was still laying around started to float up, they started to melt and a giant ball of molten gold formed behind sc.r.a.ppy following every move of his. Even the skeleton seemed reluctant all of the sudden but it couldn't evade the giant ball of molten metal that sc.r.a.ppy threw after it.

The skeleton was completely bathed in the hot metal, its accessories started melting and its bones were glazed by the gold as it solidifies. But even though it was hurt badly insurance wasn't as intimidating as before it could still move. But Sc.r.a.ppy was sick of this skeleton that dared to hurt his precious sc.r.a.p and quickly used his fist and ripped out the purple heart while watching how the skeleton started screeching and dark flames melted the gold again while every bone vanished into dark mist until there was just a puddle of molten metal left. Sc.r.a.ppy looked at the purple heart and threw it into his bucket which started to rumble a bit as it entered.

Sc.r.a.ppy wanted to take the dagger too but when he picked it up it snapped in half and a tiny black gem was floating before sc.r.a.ppy. Sc.r.a.ppy knew that he had already seen such a gem and he thought real hard about it when he remembered that the same type of gem was embedded into his Bucket. Sc.r.a.ppy was happy and grabbed it not expecting that it was still extremely hot so it melted itself into his hand making it impossible to ever get it back without melting the complete arm of sc.r.a.ppy.

Naturally sc.r.a.ppy wanted to get it out and waved his arm around when there suddenly was a hole in reality where he accidentally drew a small circle with his hand. Sc.r.a.ppy froze on the spot and reached into the hole with his arm suddenly hearing a noise behind him. Sc.r.a.ppy looked around and saw how his hand was ten meters behind him and had knocked down a piece of metal, Sc.r.a.ppy was intrigued he grabbed the piece of metal and pulled through the hole into his hand while the hole closed after nothing was in it anymore. Sc.r.a.ppy started happily drawing circles in the air grabbing every piece of sc.r.a.p on this room with even moving...
