You know. I used to think Dying was painful. having my head sliced off, back stabbed. reduced to meat paste. you name it at some time I felt pain. That stopped when I felt something that hurt so much more. I tried to prevent it however No mater what I did the pain kept coming back. I tried warning Kate about it. she does something rash and dies. I tried asking the Conner's help, he is the Headmaster so maybe he knew something. but nothing helped. I alone can kill 3 of them when I know the exact locations they will be at however the android amongst them kills me. I tried using my Bloodlust to level 2 however all I remember was that I died because of the android they have. I did so much that I ended up just doing something and waiting to see if Kate died or not. no emotion behind it... Then I found something out. I found something that could save Kate, Ruby, Victoria and Isaac. however there is a cost.
[Michael: 834207? is there even a way?]
[Me: I found one, however it will take a few tries to get to work]
[Michael: ok, try your best]
"Well you are acting all high and mighty in the morning. anyway yes..." Kate said however I raised my hand to stop her from talking.
"The headmaster is out and you want me to go to a super cool VR gaming room" I said while Kate looks at me with shock
"How?" Kate asks confused
"I came from the future and I am here to warn you that the power is out over there so don't bother going. I on the other hand need to go to the library, you catch up on sleep" I said as I walk to the door
"wha? ok then... the power is out?" Kate said doubting and confused. she looked VERY disappointed however she gives up knowing I would not lie to her with such a straight face.
"Its ok, I will be right back" I said with a smile as I exited the room, now to make sure Kate is safe, the rooms are very close together and normally would not have enough space to fit them by looking at the doors. however they are in a safe pocket dimension that Conner controls. So to make sure Kate is safe I just need to destroy the room from the outside, trapping her inside another dimension, that should be safe. Conner can get her out when he gets back.
"Dragon Claw" I activate dragon claw which reduces the door and everything behind it to dust. I did not put much power onto damage and more onto range meaning the room, was gone.
Now for the hard part.
"What did you do that for?" ???
"To make sure Kate is safe, it turns out there are 9 pests running around trying to kill her so I thought I would challenge all of you to a duel. if you beat me, the door gets fixed and Kate is yours, however fail and die." I said turning around to see 8 people there. some taller, some smaller, all of them with illusion magic making it impossible to tell who is who. except for the fact the android is not amongst the ones in front of me. I can tell because of level.
"Follow me if you want to die" I said as I walk in the direction of the arena where Michael and co are waiting.
[Michael: Everything is set, are all 9 with you?]
[Me: No, the level 1000 is not here, he is the android I cant beat]
[Michael: Got it. so we handle the android while protecting your friends with one foot in the grave, easy enough]
[Me: I am counting on you]
With this we reach the Arena. all 8 people behind me get ready to fight. I cant beat them all at once so may as well go for information and limiting their options.
"So... before we start I have a question or 2 you should answer" I said with them obviously about to say 'Why should we?' so before all that why waste the time.
"and the reason why you should is because you are targeting my friends and if you had a reason It may be easy to correct. Money? I have tons, Fame? I can get that for you. Obligation? no need to walk into an early grave" I said with a straight face however that last bit I put a small amount of bloodlust into. I see a few shiver. maybe it is because my bloodlust is growing a lot.
"interesting, you seem confident, beat one of us and we may tell you", said one of the 8 as he steps up into the arena ring.
"Sure" I said standing up and moving to the ring. as soon as I get in the ring I reduce him to dust thanks to my left eye which I open for a second then close it.
"so. why would you be here?" I asked with a cocky expression looking at them as they are obviously shocked. One of them steps forward.
"Obligation. we have to be here. It is not a matter of desire as killing the 4 targets was an important job given to us. if you want more information beat me." Said one of the 7 remaining as he put up a Mana shield. that bastard. he then walked into the ring.
"Obligation huh? you die for someone else's cause? there own personal reasons and you are happy with that. I protect my friends and you are attacking them. screw this, why do I have to face the weakest of you, bring out your strongest" I said with a tired expression.
"grrr... you think you can beat our strongest?" the person in front of me in the arena said with a angry tone.
"So that means you are not the strongest? I thought you said you would not give any information... ha." I said with a mocking smile and cruel eyes staring daggers at him... screw that this guy has killed Kate 7399 times. He dies tonight.
"GRR" he made a annoyed expression as he charged at me, however left him self right open as he forgot to keep his Mana shield on and switched it over to a physical barrier that does not block Mana. The fact it is this easy makes me furious that I had to watch them kill Kate over and over and over again. with a little side dish of rage for everyone else they killed.
This book was originally published on Royal Road. Check it out there for the real experience.
"So, now for my next question. "under who's orders did you come here today?" I asked looking at the 6 remaining monsters as they back away looking at me as if I was the monster. cant anyone kill people 100 times his level?
"I did"??? said as he walked over to the arena.
[???]
[Level 1000]
[???]
The android. he chooses to fight me. damn it I cant beat him. Anyone? Jump in at any time and assist or I will have to restart at my last save. please?
"Hold it. you will fight me" Kieran said from behind. And I was terrified. When did Kieran get that strong. screw strong, THAT is over powered
[On This World I Walk Alone]
[Level 999,999,999,999]
[???]
Why did I not ask his help sooner? Why did he not help sooner? WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THAT LEVEL??? Kieran looks at me and must have heard I can see the name tag more clearly.
"John, I will explain later, just leave these people to me and then after that let me know why the Michael asked me to help save some people from being killed" Kieran said as he walked over to the android. "You however. Have caused a lot of trouble. remove your Illusions or I will personally kill you instantly" Kieran said calmly.
"Fine" The android said and he released his Illusion.
[Living Robot]
[Level 1000]
[Walter]
the others had their illusions taken down and they all had the same thing
[Living Robot Failure]
[Level 384]
[Walter]
why are Living robots after Kate? I will have to ask Conner... Wait, Conner is a living robot himself. "is the reason you are here something to do with Conner" I asked making sure I got the news right. As soon as I said this He looked Livid. Anger comparable with my Bloodlust Aura 1 stage.
"Conner? Yea he is the reason why we are here" he said with a smile... But.... Conner isn't here... Unless he only wanted to make Conner suffer by killing Kate...
"Kieran, kill him" I said to Kieran who gave me a funny look, "He came here to kill Kate, Victoria, Isaac and Ruby. All because Conner is not here." and like it was the magic word 6 heads hit the ground leaving only the [Living Robot] Standing before us.
"John, the honor of killing him is yours, I am sure you would want it" Kieran then stood back and then Walter vanished into a void, I walked into it myself. It was just darkness. all around. I don't even know how to describe it however I did not care. WALTER HAD TO PAY... and he was paying with his life.
"What? They sent you? HA. you cant kill me, You are just... just... j..." he could not complete his statement because I activated something I needed to get out of my system for to long.
{Bloodlust Aura Stage 1]
"Scary aura, so what? you still cant w..win" He said stuttering
[Bloodlust Aura Stage 2]
"...f...y.." He could hardly talk under the weight of my Bloodlust. he killed Kate by making her Meat Paste 20,003 times he was also the one who killed Kate the first time, I found out by making sure on the 4832 retry.
"Die" I said with anger, however it was not enough, I still had TO MUCH ANGER built up.
[Bloodlust Aura Stage 3: Requires more anger then any normal person can acquire throughout a lifetime. Multiplies strength by the amount of anger you are feeling]
[Corrupted Soul Aura: By having your aura reach a certain level of corruption it will now make you feel angry regardless of surroundings until you can get an ability that counters this effect. If you give into your rage Corrupted Aura will activate and the effects are inconclusive]
Kieran's Point Of View
John is now in a place he can unleash all of that built up anger, however he wont be coming back the same, Michael will have to prepare a memory seal. I will just go and check on... oh my what happened to John...
Michael's Point Of View
John had to watch so many deaths that he could not help, Yea I am preparing a Memory Seal for that. for now I will... Oh that is not good... that's ... not... good ... at ...all............
Conner's Point Of View
that finished faster then I thought, best head back now and... Oh please don't tell me that is the 3 Fists Academy. I can feel the Bloodlust from here, Did John try touching Kate in a naughty place? he he he... no.... that is Johns Aura... this cant be good.
John's Point Of View
"not enough. GET UP!!!" John said to a blood stain across the floor. " I AM NOT DONE YET" John said as his aura grew more wild and dark, "I WONT LET YOU GET OFF THAT EASY!!!"
[Aura: Corrupted Soul]
--------------------------------------------------------
Yes I know I am having John get very angry but can you blame him? he had it rough. I took this one for the people who respawn over and over trying to Kill a boss that just wont die. This is how it feels for the person who remembers.
