The Rocaloi Academy's First Victory (2)
"Shit, he's only at the 6th stage, but get him dow-" The middle-aged man, almost going bald, was just starting to shout to Ciemnosc when the latter became blurry and thereafter turned into a figure that simply dashed forwards with nobody able to witness when what or how. On the other hand, Ciemnosc had just made a step with his right foot, but that was enough for these people to become overly overwhelmed.
Step! Whoosh, plaaank~. Whooshh- swish, tshing~- CKRSHEERR.
Ciemnosc’s body only made his image after ‘impossibly’ stopping just before the 2nd woman, who had her left arm against the back of her chair’s backrest, which was all too unthinkable in the others’ mind but just a simple hop from Ciemnosc’s part.
Ciemnosc took the 2nd woman’s left arm and swung her backwards with all prowess just as she, the other 2 women, and the other 2 men altogether enhanced their bodies with their own Power Energy out of fear, instinct, and by just being fucking afraid of even being looked at by this monster that despite his ‘low’ battle prowess, they couldn’t help but feel as such.
Thanks to her own Power Energy protecting her body, her left arm wasn’t pulled off of her body, and she became a profusely bleeding out one-armed beautiful woman. But she was still flung backwards all the way. She and everyone who watched as her body also moved at a speed impossible for their eyes, by Ciemnosc’s body nonetheless and forcefully at that, with Ciemnosc’s left hand holding her left wrist and his right hand had a thin Mortal sword ‘descend’ from his hand and aiming diagonally at the floor.
Just when the 2nd woman was feeling the incorrect information about Ciemnosc and just wanted to go ahead and yell it out of her heart but not before saving her own life first, she was pulled back in with her feet aiming 90 degrees at the opened door. Her body ‘flew’ back to Ciemnosc, whose right-handed Mortal sword softly moved up to meet her forehead, nose, lips, and chin head on with the edge of his sword.
Everyone watched, with the brusque movements of just Ciemnosc’s left hand, yet with only such a hand making a cultivator almost an entire realm and a half above him being flung around with her not being able to resist for a single moment… When her body began to be divided into two as ‘it passed through’ the sword.
Even as her body was fully covered by her Power Energy, her head was easily becoming 2 and her eyes directly fell from their sockets while the rest of her body continued to be cut into two. Ciemnosc held his right-handed sword with his right hand holding its handle right below his right chest and aiming at his 9 o’clock while making a slight diagonal cut forwards.
His whole left arm was flung backwards but no longer grabbing anything else, his fingers relaxed and the left arm of the woman had already been flung for about half a meter without him needing to pull on it still, just having needed to pull once and that was it.
After her head was her neck, which the bone even with the flow of her Power Energy and her blood boiling, still had no chance to meet the thin Mortal sword head on with that… dark… Power Energy covers its whole blade.
After her neck, her collarbone split into two without the slightest of damage done to them, simply and flawlessly, smoothly cut through by the Mortal sword covered by the dark. Then came her chest and whole torso, from which her breasts separated, becoming bags of not even having any contents, for her body kept on ‘flying’ after being cut as if by nothing itself and hence not deterring her ‘flight’ in the slightest had the contents of her upper torso become completely empty.
But her organs were still there, only her breasts became disinflation, while her stomach remained ‘joint’ as if cut through by the hottest of lasers and her body became a disgusting piece of art. When it came to her lower abdomen down to her crotch, her body was finally divided into two entirely. But as she finally began to fall down against the table, crashing onto it, some organs such as her eyes, her skull, and her hair began all falling around without control.
Thump, roll roll roll, bugsh bugsh.
“...!!” - “Huff, huff huff!!” - “What the fuck was that?!”
The 2 men were the most affected, the middle-aged one simply shell shocked and the other one couldn’t hold it as he shouted while holding his dear life with his hands clutching his head, his eyes so widely open they didn’t seem human or reasonable anymore.
“Hit the array! Blast it open! Don’t let him near us, he-” The middle-aged man, as well as the others with their survival instincts kicking in reacted and at last woke up. The former reacted with his hands flinging around, making the other man start attacking the barrier-array thingie that entrapped them along with himself while the 2 women faced Ciemnosc.
Pshift!
A gust of Power Energy came from the 1st woman as she stood up alongside the other tall woman on top of the dark wooden table, their feet somewhat stepping around where the rests of the 2nd woman, now deader than dead, rested but they semi somewhat ignored them and pointed their hands’ gestures at Ciemnosc.
A windy breeze went about as Ciemnosc saw a little arrow formed by just pure air conveyed together into the shape of just that an arrow as it then shot towards him from the 1st woman’s right hand. The 3rd woman had both her arms snaked around by a tongue of Power Energy that then became several different needles, shooting without much sound towards Ciemnosc, except that he was able to so clearly hear each one of those shooting at his torso.
Whooosh- puk, tak. Swish swish swish swish- fwoosh pah.
First came the arrow, which was not only faster but also more agile than simply a ton, even up to several dozens of needles all shooting rigidly to Ciemnosc’s torso. The arrow on the other hand aimed at his heart, and it rapidly arrived at its designated spot. But Ciemnosc had seen it coming as if it was a shy child finding the superhero actor of the movies standing right before him.
When the arrowhead clashed with Ciemnosc’s uniform, it opened up a little gap in his uniform. But it had clearly penetrated, a spot of his slightly pale skin showing while the rest of the arrow quickly became thinner and thinner when its tip managed to reach Ciemnosc’s skin.
According to what he was feeling and seeing, the Power Energy of that arrow technique was meant to, if in case it didn’t penetrate through, focus all of its Power Energy into one and send it all to one single point, the very tip of the arrowhead, which in this case also happened to be the only one to ever meet Ciemnosc’s skin after penetrating through his uniform-like armor.
It was doing nothing to his sin though. It was being misused as it could’ve at least focused that Power Energy into the rest of his clothes, and another few whole would have at least been made by it. Instead, all it did was not even grant Ciemnosc the feeling of being touched at the very least. If anything, a slight windy sensation at that hole and the arrow produced a bit of wind with all that Power Energy’s undulations.
On the other hand, Ciemnosc’s right arm was raised a bit forwards as if to slap at the air or at someone. And just as the needles shot right at his torso, just a few milliseconds after the arrow, the mere move of his right palm slapping ahead of him in the air made the impact with the wind and of the space in front of that slap so harsh that the needles were immediately dispersed and were diverted from reaching Ciemnosc’s body.

“!” - “!” It wasn’t that Ciemnosc was afraid of them. But the sensation of having several projectiles flying at oneself was not nice. On the other hand, these 2 women were insanely taken aback, their eyes wide open and trembling when seeing Ciemnosc step towards them still after not even putting effort to deal with their attacks!
The previous thoughts and ideas of continuing on with even more attacks and techniques were slipping out of their minds as the 2 men continued on banging at the barrier with all they had but to no avail!!
Step, step, step… swish~. Thump, pum pom- whoosh rustle, ckrsheerr.
Ciemnosc stepped up onto the poorly kept wooden table, his steps were steady but not slow, just steady, and his right-handed Mortal sword swung back and forth with its tip aiming at the table. Like a knight wearing the heaviest of armored boots, Ciemnosc’s steps were heavier in the women’s hearts when they reacted a bit, just a bit, and woke up to try to just survive on their own!
“Gah!” The tall— third to have spoken —woman roared simply, her mouth opening in what seemed a large square shape with all of her Power Energy condensing at the tip of her right index finger as a murky-like brown ‘vein’ or ‘snake’ within her left arm moved from her shoulder which couldn’t be seen through except with Spirit Sense or simply with Ciemnosc’s eyes; all the way until the tip of her right index finger to meet with the rest of her Power Energy.
As soon as both the ‘vein’ or ‘snake’ of a murky brown color under her skin and the Power Energy coming from all over her body to the tip of her finger met, she seemed to age several times, gaining wrinkles only at the corner of her eyes and her forehead becoming visibly older.
Then, suddenly coming out from her right index fingertip that was still as youthful as always and whatever else, a ball the size of half her head appeared hovering in the air right before it. And after just 2 seconds it had appeared and with Ciemnosc’s right foot about to step down once more, his eyes narrowed and uncaring, but watching this all happen - it imploded!
Several strands of ‘things’ came out from it, looking like the snakes or veins that were under her skin, moving as one, but now there were many of them. And each was the size of her forearm but with the ‘head’ which was just thinner, of her right index finger.
Immediately, those things began to, all at the same time and in slightly arched trajectories, shot right towards Ciemnosc’s head, heart, and crotch after the ball of murky brown imploded. Their speed was so great it reminded the first woman of the prowess she could muster even if exchanging a few years of lifespan in the process.
Hence, the 1st woman began to do just the same. But just as she was conjuring her Power Energy between her fingers as her palms were put close together but without touching, she instinctively turned to look at Ciemnosc who was already being ‘barraged’ by those filthy things.
Ciemnosc, just like before, simply took a step forward, not giving any fucks about the snakes or veins that moved to connect with his body. His body quickly advanced forwards, too fast for those things to reach him, and quickly passed under them. His body simply stepping forth and avoiding most of those things was a shocker for the 3rd woman, who could already see his left foot stomping against the ground with all of the dark wooden table beginning to have its splinters flying all about at the same time, in a slow motion and everywhere.
But just as she thought the aftershock would make her fly about towards an angle, she felt just right above her crotch being hit hard at, only to lower her head and see Ciemnosc’s right foot connecting to her body. As soon as she saw it, Ciemnosc retracted his foot, his right leg lifted and his right hand holding the Mortal sword uncaringly without a care for it.
Then the foot slightly separated, allowing the 3rd woman to see how mushy and inhuman her pelvis looked, it was hellish for she even felt her bones gone… made into paste!
“A- ah, aahh…” Then, still in midair and with splinters flying all around, now 2 meters above their heads already and their bodies beginning to fall down, she was too hurt and turned into an imbecile from her injuries that she forgot to fly. A fist suddenly came to her, upper punching her square on the jaw and with her teeth breaking altogether while her lower mouth became one with her upper mouth, the sound exciting Ciemnosc’s calm and serene eyes.
After his left fist hit her body, he retracted it, just in time for his right-handed Mortal sword to come swinging with ease as his left hand grabbed at her hair and pulled her below towards his right. His right-handed sword held finely in a slightly diagonal pose, and so did the third woman’s forehead became the first part of her body to be cut into 2.
It had to be said that the willpower Ciemnosc demonstrated to not go Claws Out and start feasting then and there was more than commendable. This time, however, the body of his victim was only cut down to her belly button, with a fierce cut of his sword in a crescent motion from below to above, ending with his right arm lifted high up backwards.
PLANK, crash crash, bo-poom….
“Aaagh!” - “Kyaa- ughk!” - "AAAHH!!” The rest of the room finally went exploded with splinters flying all around, hitting the unprepared men who were using their full Power Energy to hit the barrier. And Ciemnosc could see cracks finally appearing all around the barrier array formations of his Steel Array Snakes, which was indeed concerning.
Meanwhile, the 1st woman was already terrified, her Power Energy between her palms had gone awry and she suffered a backlash, which Ciemnosc could see from her mouth becoming bloody all around and even up to the bridge of her nose.
Thud… Step, step, step. Step… Swing~ phhshk.
The 1st woman’s bum fell flat on the floor, splinters entering her derriere, thighs, and palms before she picked up the last ones and looked up at Ciemnosc, who was closing in on her as steadily as before and with his right-handed bloodless Mortal sword still held by his right hand without care.
Looking up at him, Ciemnosc could see slight blood mixed with her tears, still forming part of her backlash, his face expressionlessly content as she cried. Looking down at her, she could see him looking at her face and each of her dropping tears as she slowly raised her arms, trying to keep her head safe from any more danger to her body.
But Ciemnosc, who looked down at her, already imagining how much would these 5 do to his cultivation to start solidifying his foundation to an extreme to begin with; simply took another step with his right foot. His right sword raised up at a regular speed before chopping down at her head.
Her arms posed no resistance whatsoever for as soon as they were cut through, they even flew about with great speeds due to inertia with the tiny shockwaves of the Mortal sword’s pure might. Using the sword just right, Ciemnosc cut through her skull only up to half before stopping it, then let go of it with his right hand and turned half around to his right.
His left hand went over to pick up the handle of the sword, now left-handed. While the corpse fell backwards on the floor with half its head opening into 2 and showing all that existed within; brain matter and juice for some reason were all cleanly expelled from the head and began dirtying the floor.
Tshing.
On the other hand, Ciemnosc’s right hand had another Mortal sword appear, as thin as the one from before. And with both hands holding a Mortal sword, Ciemnosc left the third corpse on the floor, while the remains of the 2nd woman’s corpse had already mysteriously disappeared. And the 1st woman’s corpse still at her spot with half her body cut into 2 farther away.
Step, tap tap tap~, step, tap tap tap~.
Ciemnosc’s footsteps resounded even more in the men’s ears. They could only crazily keep on going for a little more, sending palms and techniques with their Power Energy out of their bodies to attack the barrier a little more before coming to a halt. It was a sudden, but expected, sudden halt that surprised not even them as they slowly turned around for they had been feeling their backs as if a pair of devouring eyes looking at them all along...
“...” - “...” Both men looked at Ciemnosc and noticed the corpses of only 2 women of course. But Ciemnosc’s image standing right in front of him with a calm facial expression on his face and yet with blood all over his hands and neat shoes was the only thing they could see.
“Let me try this with you. I’m so close to deciphering it. It’s amazing!” Ciemnosc said, his face turning quite cheered up for the sake of science and knowledge. The men were confused. In return, but they had not a chance to even blink. For when they felt like they had actually unconsciously blinked when they tried to open their eyes, it was all still dark… and only distant steps echoing within this… ‘world’, continued to sound.
Step~~... step… step… step… step…
“AAH, AAH NOO! I CAN’T SEE, I CAN’T SEEEE!!”
“Guwaaaaah!! Open, open, open, OPEEEN GODDAMMIT!!”
Crrreeesshhhhkk, crreeshhk crreeshhk… … Ckrsheeeeeerrrrr, ckrsheerr ckrsheerr… … CRREESHHK, CKRSHEERR…
