Alexia

I feel my blood flowing out of me and covering my chest, stomach, and armor around it as I feel the wolf jumping upwards in an attempt to knock me off. And I barely manage to hold onto the thing without falling.

For the first time it bucks. For the second time I end up flying off due to my strength rapidly fading from me.

But I purposefully make it so that I’m sent flying towards the red heart.

Luna flies forwards to attack the wolf as I fly before I land right beneath the red heart, simply trying and failing to get up due to my wound. An incredibly painful wound that both burns and stings at the same time. Like it’s damage to my entire soul instead of just my body.

I grit my teeth and cough out more blood while turning my attention towards Luna and the wolf, both of whom are currently fighting on the other side of the chamber. Then I try to push myself to my feet while pulling out a potion. An incredibly rare one that was made by the Quantum Architect himself.

And the only potion that seems to work on my body.

The thing doesn’t actually recover any soul. Instead it begins to repair my body.

But even as I pour it over the wound, the only effect I see is that my soul begins to drain a little bit slower.

The wound doesn’t heal.

It just keeps bleeding out, making me grit my teeth at the sight.

Well this isn’t going according to plan. Not that anything in this battle necessarily went according to plan, but still.

The pain continues to flood my mind as I watch my soul decrease. But as Luna distracts the wolf for a bit, occasionally taking a hit herself but healing the damage in her own way, I wait for my wounds to heal a bit. Because I’ll need to be able to move to pull off what I want to do.

To pull off my last resort for this battle.

Long before any progress is shown on the wound healing, though, I find the wolf turning its gaze towards me.

So I decide to pull one last card out in order to prolong its attack.

I let out all of the power stored up in Observation Effect Absorption, sending a powerful blast of energy out all around me. A blast that I make sure misses Luna.

But even after the blast fills the chamber, I still sense the wolf’s continued approach.

Meaning it didn’t do shit to the parasite.

Well, so much for that.

I grit my teeth and try to force myself to move as hard as possible, making the pain I’m feeling flaring and increasing by the second. More and more blood gushes out of my wound as the wound even begins to open up wider, albeit without the glitchy edges of it spreading. Some sort of effect from my attack no doubt.

Then, right when the wolf is about to pounce in my direction, I teleport straight up.

Right in front of the glowing red heart.

And, the wolf having already prepared to leap forwards, with it still being blinded by the Observation Effect blast, it leaps straight at me. Arriving before I’m even able to teleport away and swiping one paw straight at me and the red heart, cutting me halfway through my legs and armor seconds before I teleport.

I let out a cry of pain as I flop down to the ground, bleeding out even more than before and seeing my soul rapidly dropping.

Then the last sounds I hear before everything goes dark is a shattering sound, a squelch, and a loud roar of anger and pain as everything begins to shake.

All Across the Dimension

Wars rage on across dozens upon dozens of Dimensional Blocks as the battles over territory continues. Meanwhile many of the Dimensional Blocks unrelated to these wars proceed to advance in both technology and power, gradually making their way back to where they were before the Reset, even if they’re still relatively far off depending on the society.

All while the top powers of each Dimensional Block unrelated to the wars participates in the Ten Year Events for their Blocks.

As more and more people grow stronger and stronger through the events. Or as they gain new equipment. Or new Authority.

Some of the Ten Year Events by now have already been completed, yet others are still running. Some are in a halt, with some people still inside despite them technically having ended, and others having already finished their business in the events and left.

However, regardless of who they are or where they are, every last person within and outside of the dimension pauses when a Legendary Feat notification appears in their vision. Even the quantum beings pause for a moment when they see the name of the user within the notification.

Legendary Feat – The Nightmare

Alexia Knight has slain the Tier 4 Boss monster known as The Horror and therefore also its protector, the Tier 5 Lupin Parasite of Cataclysm, with no assistance and while at Tier 4 herself!

And it doesn’t stop there as before they’re even given time to react to the first notification, a second one appears before them.

Legendary Feat – The Dungeon Hunter

Alexia Knight has become the first user within the System to clear a Tier 4 Dungeon!

After seeing the two Legendary Feats obtained back-to-back, the fame of The Reaper grows ever stronger, and every powerful user within the System shows a different reaction.

The Ancestral Dragon simply smirks and lets out a brief puff of air through her nostrils as she flies through the air in her true form.

The Hound of the Apocalypse chuckles as he slams his fist straight through the head of a monster within a dungeon, uncaring of the blood that covers it in the process.

The Devourer smiles with a hint of longing on her face. Longing to see her daughter. But she doesn’t stop her hunt for a spatial affinity Class S being.

The Reaper’s sister grins herself, having fully expected this to happen. Only for her to focus all of her attention on the problem she herself faces in front of her. A problem that may very well turn into a boon instead should she surpass it.

And the Lord of Vampires accidentally kills several of his thralls in his fit of rage upon seeing the messages.

Thus marks the end of the second era of the dimension post-Reset.
