[ ✧System has detected an opportunity for awakening. ]

[ ✧Iris has been unable to successfully Awaken, due to this System would find another way for Iris to awaken. ]

"For real!!! After all this commotion, how useless can a system be," Alka grumbled. "Why can't Iris awaken? I thought you told me she can awaken in a near-death-to-life situation," she recalled as she was leaning on her hand on the table before her.

[ ✧System also had that probability, unfortunately, it seems as the Black Diamond is a higher tier Goddess the awakening won't be so easy. ]

"Guess as much," Alka sighed, "Well is there another way around this," Alka looked up at the screen before her and asked.

[ Indeed, System has detected the process by which humans awaken on this planet. And also the summoning of the second Jewel shall begin. ]

"Oh, that sounds cool. That Ability thing I've been hearing about. Okay, then let's go with it," Alka nodded in agreement before she realized, "Did you say a second Jewel?!!"

[ ✧Process shall begin now in 3,2,1….. ]

[ ✧Awakening process would take some time to complete, 5%]

______________

On a dark empty planet where the land was paved with many crystal shards of all colors and the sky was dark as the stars shone brightly. The three moons reflected their glorious light onto the earth, revealing the pile of dead bodies all over.

A crystal skinned man stood on top of those dead bodies as he devoured the rainbow crystal heart in his hand. On his brown skin, he wore tattered clothes which were stained with blood. His long black crystal hair flowed with the wind and his dull dark red eyes stared at the dead bodies of people who looked like different gems molded together.

"I guess this will end this batch of regals," the man stated dully as he touched his small beard.

"You traitorous bastard, how dare you kill your fellow race, Kaguya!!" A woman stood there as she glared at the man.

Her skin sparkled like gems and was a mixture of black green and blue gems. A rainbow hoop was over her head and her rainbow eyes glared at the man before her.

"In order to become stronger, I'm willing to kill and devour anything, even if it's my damn race!!" Kaguya stated and gave the woman a fierce look.

"I'll kill you and present your head to the higher Regals!" The woman yelled, and her body began to glow as she dashed towards Kaguya. She immediately slashed her sword, and the land around them immediately turned into minced pieces of rocks. Kaguya blocked her attack with his fist and also dashed toward her and punched his fist at her. Her face met with his fist and she crashed into the ground causing a massive crater on the planet.

Kaguya looked at the crater dully and the woman flew out of the crater, her face red with rate and her body started to deform. Her hands grew larger, and creepy-looking wings filled with faces on it appeared on her back.

She laughed hysterically and dashed toward him, and the planet they were on was slashed into half and then into pieces.

Kaguya jumped away from the rubble and made a stance. His left foot was back, and his right foot was in front and launched multiple punches through the air. The woman tried blocking his attacks with her swords and could see the mass destruction his punch caused. The surrounding worlds had fist marks on them until they cracked into pieces.

"Hahah!" The woman laughed seeing they were no injuries on her, but seeing Kaguya's smirk made her think again.

The woman looked at her hands to see many cracks, before she looked at him and gritted her teeth. Her body then turned into dust and Kaguya reappeared and grabbed her rainbow heart and devoured it.

"And for you think a weakling like you can kill me? Regals and our annoying prideful behavior," Kaguya chuckled to himself. He closed his eyes and reappeared on a planet filled with people who all wore chains. They all looked at him nervously, but one asked, "Are they dead?"

They all looked at him eagerly waiting for an answer and Kaguya nodded.

The people in chains began to cheer loudly and many cried tears of joy as they hugged each other. Kaguya snapped his finger as rainbow-colored powder flew around their planet, destroying the chains that bound the people. They had different shapes, colors, and sizes. But the one thing they had in common now was that they were finally free from their torturous days.

"Thank you for saving us from the Regals, god," a man said and bowed, and everyone present too followed.

"I'm no god, just a wandering man passing by," Kaguya gave a faint dull smile as his dull eyes stared at them.

He waved at the people and began to levitate, and later began flying and took off into space.

After a while of him flying through space, he saw a little girl standing there and his eyes turned fierce.

The girl had purple crystal-like skin and purple silky hair.

"You're the one," she grinned as a bright purple light appeared from her hands.

Kaguya dashed towards her, raising his sword high to slash at her sensing extreme danger from just her presence. But before he could do that, he was already consumed by the purple light. The girl looked at everything around space with a smile, and her body quickly broke down and turned into dust.

Tael quickly teleported to Isakawa's house as he was floating in the sky.

Reading on Amazon or a pirate site? This novel is from Royal Road. Support the author by reading it there.

"Hah, what the hell is this?!!'' Tael grunted as he looked at the strange blood pillar.

"Hmm, so this is what Sir Isakawa was talking about." He stared at the strange sight in front of him. Not knowing whether he should be surprised, scared, shocked, or happy that there is another strange person like him.

"I better hurry up and get things done quickly," he said to himself with a bored expression.

"That boy is here already!!" Mark mumbled as he noticed the young boy in the sky.

"This is going to be fun," Tael smirked.

Tael stretched out his finger from where he was in the sky and pointed it at the bloody pillar.

"It's good that I'm in the sky, I can see those blood monsters roaming around. This is interesting."

A huge dark magic circle started to form beneath Tael and under the pillar.

"[Dark flames Devour ]" Tael cast his spell.

A huge black skeleton covered in dark black flames appeared from the magic circle as it opened its wide jaws and ate the pillar. Sally, who was on the other side, could do nothing but shake in fear. The pressure alone the young boy was exerting was terrifying.

However, that wasn't the end. The skeleton started to shake intensively and in a moment, huge spikes of blood bursted out from it, cracking it into pieces.

"What! This thing was actually able to destroy my skills, this is going to be fun." Tael said happily as his eyes widened.

"Punishment of death [ Alpharosiet ]" a black flame started to surround Tael's arm and a long dark scythe appeared. It had some dark skeleton engraving, and it released a powerful aura, moreover, it was entirely black.

Tael quickly jumped off his magic circle as he was falling straight to the blood pillar.

[ ✧System awakening has reached 43% ]

"Dark slash!!" a wide arc of wind covered in Darkness was directed at the pillar as it slashed half of it apart.

Tael landed gracefully on the ground as he smiled proudly.

"Like I said, piece of cake," he shrugged.

Tael was stunned again when he realized the blood pillar formed back up again and the blood knights noticed Tael's attacks and headed toward him.

"Take it easy, you ugly monsters," Tael teased as he dodged the attacks.

"Rooooaaarrr!!!!!!" The monster released an ear-splitting scream and in a mere number of seconds, it was in front of Tael.

"It's fast [ Shield ]" a prism of dark aura appeared around him and he blocked the massive slash attack from the blood night. When the Knight's sword and Tael's shield made an impact, it caused the whole house to shake and tremble.

"Well done…. You've managed to piss me off," his cool face turned cold as he grabbed the knight by its face. Tael held the monster’s face tightly as he was floating, and he didn't look happy.

For his new watch, it got destroyed by the impact. Tael gripped the monster's face tighter and tighter until it smashed and turned into the blood it formerly was.

As Tael was done destroying one knight three more knights were formed from the blood pillar and dashed toward Tael in rage.

"This is going to take some time," he sighed before he spinned his scythe.

"This is getting boring," Isakawa yawned as he got up, and he took his coat from the chair, walking out of his office. As soon as he got out, a group of men in black suits were stationed outside Isakawa's office, and bowed down.

"Good Evening, Sir Isakawa," they all greeted with their utmost respect.

"We're heading to my home now," Isakawa said with a cold gaze as all of them could do nothing but obey. They were never forced to join Isakawa; they followed him out of their own will, knowing how important and strong he was. The only question they had in mind was, "Why was he not a professional hero?"

Isakawa is indeed strong, but no one actually knows how strong he is.

Isakawa immediately teleported himself to the top of the skyscraper as we looked in the direction of his home. "If I'm right Jennifer is not home since I can't sense her there, so then it's good." Isakawa stretched out his arms as his eyes began to glow and chains of blue electric sparks formed around him.

"It's better to stop that thing before it gets out of control."

[ ✧System awakening has reached 75% ]

"As Iris is inside, I'm certain that thing would do its best to protect her, so then everything is ready." The electric blue spark around Isakawa began to get stronger and all were directed to his finger stretching out and pointing to his house.

"[Over boost Magnetic Explosion ]" as he used his skill, a bright blue light flew to his house with intensive speed and couldn't be easily heard, but its pressure could be felt. At that moment, as the spell was heading to his house, one thing everyone could feel was DEATH!!!! Their hearts would stop for a second and they would sweat profoundly.

The Blood Pillar also felt this intense pressure from a spark like an arrow directed at it. It wasn't easily fooled. As Isakawa predicted, it drew all of the monsters {the knights} around it back inside and used everything it had to stop that thing from hurting Iris. The maids and the butler himself were alerted and started running away from the pillar.

[ ✧System awakening has reached 97% ]

"Isakawa you crazy piece of shit," Tael cursed as he quickly knew that he had to escape before he got caught up with Isakawa's skill.

Once the two collided, it became a huge explosion surrounded by bright blue flames. The explosion was quite unique; it didn't explode its surroundings, but rather only its target.

[ ✧System awakening has reached 100% ]

[ ✧Congratulation Iris has managed to awaken the Gemaris Class Soul Eater. ]

[ ✧Congratulation Iris has managed to awaken the Gemaris Class Death master. ]

[ ✧Congratulation Iris has managed to awaken the Gemaris Ability Eternal ]

[ ✧Congratulation Iris has managed to awaken the Gemaris Ability Abnormality ]

Iris was caught up in the middle of the explosion, luckily Teal quickly jumped in to save her. He placed a shield around them as he protected himself and Iris from the blast.

"Hah, all done. Don't worry, Iris, I will be home soon enough," Isakawa muttered.

Tael landed on the ground gracefully due to the help of the dark shadow on the ground.

"Now to finally see who I was fighting," Tael held the girl in his arms, but she wasn't as Isakawa described her.

The brown-skinned child opened her eyes to reveal her heterochromia eyes, one purple and black that shone like gems and half of her hair was purple, and the other half was black, and it grew longer.

Tael stared at her for a while, thinking about whether to kill her or not in case she was an imposter.

"So you are the one causing all the trouble," he said as he pinched her small nose.

Sally quickly launched at Tael as she pushed him away and held Iris. "Get away from her," she growled as she held Iris tightly.

"So that's how it is," Tael glared at her as she shivered.

All the maids and servants of Isakawa's household never liked Tael one bit. He used to be a child that Isakawa saved and was helping around the house. But he did some unforgivable things, but they couldn't forgive him even if Isakawa did. And also, once they learned of his ability, even the people. Isakawa's household who are claimed to be evil looked much better like saints.

"Go away, you [ Necromancer ] child!" Mark barks with fury as he stands in front of Sally.

Tael chuckled, "So the old metamorphosis bastard is alive. I thought you would have probably died from the last time we met," he said with a smug face revealing some past memories.

"Leave," Mark said menacingly.

"I do what I wish, old man, and I'm fully aware that you know Isakawa sent me to save her. If I wasn't here sooner, you'd probably be all dead!!"

"Tch, since your job is done, you can go now."

"Fine," Tael rolled his eyes as he walked away. A cloud shadow covered his entire body and he disappeared.

Mark frowned, "How dare he come back after killing Annie?"

"Mark, that doesn't matter right now, Lady Iris isn't answering me," Sally cried as she looked at Iris's heterochromia eyes which looked almost dead.

"Iris, please wake up," Those were the last words Iris could hear from Sally before her mind was blank.

"What were all those strange messages?" Iris thought to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

Tina watched from afar and decided to leave quickly before anyone caught her. Right now, their plan to kidnap Iris has failed, and she's the last survivor, so she must make a report to her boss.

"It seems like a little rat is hanging around."

Tina was alert and turned to find her opponent, but in a flash, mana was shot through her eye which caused her immense pain, causing her to stumble back. "I'm not going to die!!" Tina

bit her mouth and she used her teleportation device and quickly disappeared.

"I better report this to Isakawa when he comes," Tael said as he stretched his arms.
