- Then detonate yourself using 70% Aura and 30 % Mana. Place meat in your mouth and prepare to feel excruciating pain.-
Multiple Scorpions launched their stingers towards Geo, the man avoided them like a high-level dodgeball fight. Onwards he ran. With a piece of antlion meat in his mouth, he traversed the forest of incoming snakelike stingers. He got sliced or stabbed but Fulgeo didn't stop. Even when one of the stingers sliced his left ear off he ran.
Eventually, he reached the body of one of the 45-meter-tall five-tailed terror scorpions and collapsed in exhaustion. While lying on the floor, Geo gritted his teeth and started to mix Mana into his Aura.
"I WILL SURVIVE! I WILL NOT DIE AAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The Mana as it entered the Aura in Geo's body started to slowly ignite and expand. Like gasses set aflame, the son of Renacida felt his body bending outward. All his bones broke and his flesh tore. The expanding Aura burst out of each pore and cell of Geo's entire frame.
"ARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Pain beyond measure, torment beyond reason, and desperation beyond all fear. The man gritted his teeth and held on. 'NOT YET! NOT YET! COME ON!!' suddenly the energies changed and shrunk inward. And then it exploded.
A cataclysmic wave of fire, pressure, force, and kinetic energy spread out with Geo as the genesis. The wave crushed all the scorpions to dust, and as it slowly expanded the Hercules Antlions all exploded into fleshes of meat. For 300 meters the waves continued.
The blood and pure energy caused the entire monster invasion to pause. Numerous Antlions double-backed and charged toward the explosion. Monsters leveled up only when they consumed the bodies of high-level system users. Thus they often searched for the bodies of powerful individuals they felt they could kill.
When the light and fires dissipated nothing was left in the enormous crater around Geo. His body lacked any limbs and had only half a torso. His hair was burned off and his skin turned black but he survived. The man silently watched the devastation he caused.
Such a scene reminded him of the battlefield Ars his third brother left in tatters. "Fuck, even all that he has more destructive power."
- Alert: New passive skill learned: Insanity [E]! -
- Alert: New Limit skill learned: Beloved of Mana [A] ! -
- Alert: New Unique skill learned: Dance of Past and Future [S] ! -
- Alert: New Secondary skill learned: Rewind [A] ! -
Unable to celebrate, Geo felt his body, or what was left of it screaming in pain. The pain was enough to drive him insane. But as the man heard the thousands of footsteps heading towards him he knew he didn't have much time to waste.
'Rewind? Whatever I hope it works.'
Power coursed through his body and like a playback on rewind blood and flesh materialized in the air and joined together as it rebuilt his body. After a few seconds, Geo found himself in one piece with even his clothes completely fixed.
As an experienced gamer, Geo knew what kind of power he just gained so with an extremely huge smile, he picked up his rebuilt swords and ran towards the enemy.
————————
Tsugumi looked at the army in front of her and smiled. "I'm sorry for this my friends, but I need to level up to get closer to my brother." The woman ran her fingers along the metallic blade of her rapier. A gift from the brother he has just met, yet for some reason, that attraction she had to him could not be denied.
At first, she believed it to be sexual in nature thus, she adamantly kept reminding herself that she did not yet know why she wanted to be by his side. When she saw the gorgeous faces of the San-Baka she became sure.
'Now that's what you call sexual attraction! But if that is the case then why do I want to be near him?'
Him being the Wolfen butcher, the woman tried to join his party to figure out why his presence called out to her soul. As Fregit Staratelj she met a lot of people over the years but no one made her feel like this.
'If this feeling is not sexual? What the hell is this?'
The more she interacted with him the more it gave her joy, him being annoyed, happy, irritated, kind, and angry like a deep thirst in her very being she wanted to see more. They bantered laughed and even had some playful jabs, but then she met the slaver which triggered the trauma from her last mission.
'KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL. KILL.'
That order kept repeating over and over in her mind. At that moment [One with Sword] Awoke.
- Designating Enemy: [1] proceeding to eliminate. -
pαпdα Йᴏνê1,сòМ [One with Sword] functioned like an autopilot for Tsugumi in order to maximize her efficiency she needed to be ruthless. The skill took reign of the body and only allowed the mouth to be used by Tsugumi. This skill removed all the restrictions on the body and turned it into a weapon.
The need to sleep, and eat would be removed and only the purpose of battling would be allowed. This automated style of combat while saving Tsugumi more than once also led to trauma. Emotional she would scream and curse at the ones she wanted to eliminate.
When [One with Sword] began, there was no stopping it until the counter hits zero. But then something happened. *CLANG* at the sound of blades, she failed to kill the target [One with Sword] and tried to overpower the enemy but failed. Tsugumi driven by hate started to rebuke Hiro for protecting the slave merchant. But then.
- [Eternity Armament] detected [One with Sword] forcefully deactivating. -
For the first time since she unlocked it, [One with Sword] stopped even if the target still lived. Of course, the thorough beatdown that came afterward hurt like hell. But once she humbled herself, the man who hurt him also healed him.
"Thank you for healing me Lord Sabacthani, I apologize for stepping out of line." The woman said out of courtesy, not respect. At that moment her mind kept thinking.
'Eternity Armament? What is that? And why does it affect [One with Sword]?'
However, the man then placed a hand on her head and rubbed it.
'Eh? A head pat? Hmm... That feels nice..'
But the surprises didn't end there.
(It is fine, you no longer need to carry all your burdens, you are under my protection. None may force you to do anything you do not wish to do. What you fear will not come to pass. This I swear.)
'What? What does that even mean?' 'Really?'
Inwardly the sword saint froze, two voices now spoke inside her mind instead of one.
'What? Who?' 'I can really not kill people? I can say no?'
Like glass breaking a cage in Fregit's mind slowly cracked.
'What do you mean say no? Who are you?!' 'Remember Fregit. Remember what we did.'
Flashes of absolute barbarism and brutality then showed themselves to the woman as she watched in horror.
'Stop. No more.' 'This is what we did Fregit.'
Mutilated bodies, corpses piled as high as buildings and the one who murdered them all was the blue-haired sword saint without a shred of emotion.
'Please. No more. I can't take it' 'This is who you are Fregit, a mask I made to hide my sins.'
