There was a large misconception with the Deleter that was known as Kush. Unlike others, although he was from Alterian, he wasn’t a mage. He was a man that used to research the appearance of portals and beast crystals.
Figuring out the uses of their powers and what they could do. He was part of the team that had even figured out that beast crystals could be used as a source of energy and even as a replacement for mana.
It had unlocked a number of uses for the crystals, and further uses for how they could power things in Alterian. It was what had expedited the research and the amount of funds into portal traveling, or at least that’s what people thought.
Kush, being there when everything took place, knew that a large amount of research was going into these portal dimension openings even before they had found full use of the beast crystals. He didn’t know why, as his research in portals had led him to Pagna.
Thankfully, Kush had some crystals on him when he had arrived in Pagna, and using those crystals he was able to create a few things called beast weapons. Weapons that could utilize the strong power of the crystals to become items like those which were enchanted.
There were advantages and disadvantages to this. One being that the way Kush made his weapons, the beast crystal would be visible on the item he was using. So there was an easy weak point.
Also, at times the power didn’t integrate well into the weapon and one couldn’t try to match it to the way they thought. For Kush, he had created his special staff with a powerful earth beast crystal.
It allowed him to control the earth just as good as an eight-star mage, and also summon golems made from the earth itself. Its power had to have come from one of the strongest beasts in one of these dimensions.
As for the ability to see through the creations he had made, that was crafted with the help of Alter. Using one of those items, Kush had a fake eye. With his power, Kush was somewhat safe on Alterian before being picked up.
However, he hadn’t been picked up immediately, and he had discovered the cruel life of the Pagna warriors fairly quickly. Getting on the wrong side of a warrior who had beaten him to near death. At the time, he didn’t carry his staff everywhere due to how ridiculous it would look.
Then, there were those around him who had got hurt. The few friends he had managed to make in the markets and other such places. The frustration had eventually led Kush to a breaking point, and he had used his powers to fight back against the clans without them ever knowing it was him.
Due to the large amount of golems that had attacked the clan, they had believed that it was a portal break, when the truth was it was Kush all along. This first large attack of Kush’s was what had brought the attention of Alter to him.
That’s where he had met Heino. He had figured from the words and rumors as well as the reports that this had to be the doing of a mage, when he had found Kush he was quite surprised that it wasn’t the case.
Heino, in many ways, had become fascinated with Kush’s research and brought him into the main base of Alter fairly quickly. Unlike the others, he wanted to keep Kush close to him to help him with various projects.
As a gift of their relationship, that was when the special stone had been given to him. One that could allow him to see through his creations. It was an artifact that Alter had, but holding onto it wasn’t very practical.
Things weren’t always perfect at Alter. There would be arguments and disagreements among members. This was partly the reason why the Deleters had been created, to have a structure and create fear within the group.
In one such situation, a group of Pagna warriors that were working for Alter were frustrated and had attacked the base. In the attack, Kush had gotten hurt. Inside the base, there wasn’t much earth for him to use, in fact there was none.
And without it, he was pretty much useless in battle. Due to the attack, Kush had ended up losing one eye. On top of that, there was one more thing that had grown in Kush’s mind. It was his hatred for Pagna warriors.
From the day he had come to Pagna, it wasn’t the regular people that ever gave him trouble, he had even made friends with many of them. It was always the Pagna warriors that were ruining his life. The thoughts had already planted a seed in his head, and now being directly affected by it, even in Alter himself, the hatred had grown immensely.
The hatred had grown so much that Kush even wished to leave Alter, and was ready to dedicate his work to destroying the clans all around Pagna. Of ridding the place so the regular citizens could live, and he would do it all with his staff.
Instead, Heino proposed something else. He altered the special item given, so he could input it into his left eye. The damaged eye, now not only could he see, but he could see through his golems and creations.
It had increased his power exponentially, and it had increased the relationship of the two. In return, he would continue working for Alter, but no longer so much as a researcher but instead as a Deleter.
Whenever there was a case or task assigned that needed Pagna warriors, and especially a large amount of them eliminated, Kush would be sent for the job. This was Kush’s journey into becoming a Deleter, and how he had happily accepted the job, of eliminating as many of the Demonic Faction as possible.
Rising his body from the ground in the middle of the battlefield, Kush stomped his staff, and several more fissures had broken out.
“I’m going to get rid of them all, and it starts with the Demonic Faction,” Kush said as he leaned both hands on the staff and pushed it into the ground.
