Part 1 – Knowledge Best Kept Secret
How many hours, days, weeks, months has it been since I've set foot in the Akashic Records? I do not know but there's always more to know in the books I am reading. In here I need no food, water nor sleep. I just absorb the information I want, however there is a limit to what I can know as shown by the fact that the books are piling up in my “Soul Room.” Already a tenth of my room was filled and I don't intend to completely fill it else I fear that I may not learn more when I need and desire to.
At first I went to increase my knowledge in magic which I still find to be incomprehensibly boundless. However I kept to the basics to minimise the wastage of space in my very limited “Soul Room.” As a result, I've learned a lot of things I shouldn't. The ways that magic can be used to torment others and destroy whole cities if I will but such magic and still very far for my skills. As such I wanted to gain more knowledge to better use the magicks I already know. I started with “Fire” which I was familiar with but still had work on.
There were an large number of books on the Element itself as the others as well. The Akashic Records has a useful feature that allows you to immediately search for and gain access to any book you desire. There were in total 435987 different books on what and how to use fire to your advantage in all areas. However only a mere 164 of them were related to my use and my skill level. I've read all of them which took a while and more than often had to read and understand the basics of other Elements to understand parts of “Fire.”
Then I moved onto “Ice” which was the second element that I got familiar with. Once again there were many books that involved the use of “Ice” but only a few that I could understand and fewer that I could put into practice. It took a longer time to have the same knowledge of “Ice” as with “Fire” but it was worth it.
The next Element was “Lightning” that llyfr advised me to learn before morning and indeed I will since this place has no relation to time with the outside world. There were some information on “Lightning” that blended with “Fire” and “Wind” which helped and hindered my studies at times. Eventually I've learnt enough of the 5 primary elements and the secondary element “Ice” to the point that you could consider me as am expert on its use but I don't have enough skill to use the full potential of them yet.
A handy feature of the “Soul Room” was that I could pull of any information I wanted at once from what I've learnt.
“Bring of information on Fire.”
Fire is the rapid oxidation of a material in the exothermic chemical process of combustion, releasing heat, light, and various reaction products. Slower oxidative processes like rusting or digestion are not included by this definition.
The flame is the visible portion of the fire. If hot enough, the gases may become ionised to produce plasma. Depending on the substances alight, and any impurities outside, the colour of the flame and the fire's intensity will be different.
Fire in its most common form can result inconflagration, which has the potential to cause physical damage through burning. Fire is an important process that affects ecological systems across the globe. The positive effects of fire include stimulating growth and maintaining various ecological systems. Fire has been used by humans for cooking, generating heat, signalling, and propulsion purposes. The negative effects of fire include water contamination, soil erosion, atmospheric pollution and hazard to life and property.
In Magic, Fire can be created in several ways. These include vibrating the air, through a spark, friction of an object, through lightning or anything that cause enough heat. Fire in its use in magic is more basic as it is more commonly used as a combat device for mages. Depending on the skills of the person, Fire can be a deadly weapon as it is flexible and does not have a form hence making its manipulation difficult and hard to counter.
There are also species that roam that are afflicted with the element “Fire” in various degrees. The “Fire Elemental” known as the purest form of “Fire” can absorb lesser Fire into it making it stronger. However when faced with a greater “Fire” it is instead absorbed into it. Other creatures that “live with fire” are also affected this way in lesser amounts.
The details were summarised in the text box but I could feel that I could explain everything in detail right now but I don't particularly don't want to since its a pain to say all of it. Well then, its about time to get back into the outside world though I do have some questions on how to get back in.....now I think about it, how do I get out of here? Well I can always ask llyfr later on how to get out but first I want to know something in particular. I walked back in to the Akashic Records room.
“Find books on Magic King Armour.”
There was a slight pause before a single book appeared in front of me. Hmm....so there was only this much information on it? Or is it because most of the information was sealed by the chains? Either way I think I'm lucky enough that there was a book on it right now.
The book itself looked.....well normal. Though the title of the book was scratched off. I wonder why........
I opened the book to start reading it. It was in some ancient language......damn......but I have a feeling that I can understand it for some reason. I continued reading through the book half guessing the contents. Let's see..........hmm........some history here and there..........something about how it was used.........was it against Gods or something else, this book doesn't make it clear........how it was forged........I have a feeling that no one can even with the method........materials it was made with........damn these sound really hard to get........some abilities the armour has........too many to count........Hmm? Abilities will appear that are best suited for the user and depends on their strength......so this means unless I get stronger the armour will be pretty weak? I have to read more of this.......damn it doesn't say what the conditions are for this......well I can always ask llyfr........hmm? There's another section on how to make the armour?......no this is the next part of forging the armour? Eh? What the hell is this? You have to......what?
“I believe that's enough reading Eden” said llyfr from nowhere.
Due to the surprise, I dropped the book which promptly went back into one of the countless shelves this place held. I looked back to see that llyfr appeared out of nowhere to disturb me.
“llyfr......”
“What? You didn't expect me to appear?”
His face had no apparent emotions on them. His eyes only stared into the depths of my soul....well kinda....its had that feeling.
“Umm.....about that book....”
“Don't you dare utter a word about it or else!” threatened llyfr.
An immense pressure suddenly appeared from llyfr. My legs broke down and I was on my knees begging for mercy. Sweat was swimming out of my body as if it wanted to escape destruction. It was difficult to breath right now.
You are in a state of confusion, fear and helplessness from the “Presence of the Destroyer”
Due to the overwhelming threat of something worse than death, to the point that the even the help of Gods will not prevent you from surviving, you will get a massive stat decrease in this state.
- All stats will be reduced to 1
- Mana regeneration will stop
- Mana will be reduced to 12%
- Unable to cast spells in this state
- Unable to move in this state
- Vision will be blurred
- Hearing and sense of touch will be restricted
- Pain will be amplified up to 5 times
- All magic resistance will drop to 0
- All defence will be rendered useless
- Will be unable to gain bluffs in this state
- Debluffs effects will triple in this state
Even when chained up and practically harmless I still felt scared for my life. This damn window proves it. To hell with the threat of Gods and Crysero, this person is what I have to be worried about and I've just hit a nerve.
“....”
“....”
I could barely lift my head up to see that llyfr was angry. Not the angry of me screwing something up, but the angry that I saw something that I shouldn't have. Damn I have such bad luck.....
“Naturally you will not talk about what you saw nor this place nor anything else...right?” asked llyfr.
It seems to me that he was expecting the answer 'yes' from my mouth but I can't freaking move yet along talk. It was like a rabbit standing in front of a lion waiting to be hunted, killed and eaten without any restraints.
After a minute of this....torture the pressure disappeared entirely and I could now at least breath. I coughed out all the saliva that was in my throat and looked at llyfr with discontent.
“llyfr.....NEVER do that again EVER”
I stared at llyfr like a mad dog about to bite.
“Eden its about time to leave this place and back to the outside world. Its time to put the theory you've been learning into practice.”
“Wa-wait!”
A sudden flash of light blinded me and I found myself where I was before on the bench outside of the Elder's house waiting for the thousands of men marching to attack.
Part 2 – Late night Training
I held my head in pain. They say the body and soul are connected but to think the months of knowledge would be shoved into my brain in a moment would hurt this much. Hell I was expecting that it would hurt but not THIS much.
Ding
Due to entering the Realm that no Mortal should go, the Gods are in full opposition to you.
You will no longer gain Fame and every time you kill a neutral or good affiliated person, you will gain Infamy.
What was this message? Who cares....I stared at the direction the attack will occur. I would expect them to attack on all sides but given that we were outnumbered by more than 2 to 1, they must be confident that they will succeed.
“And here we have a whole town drunk and asleep.......”
Things was not good. Frankly even if I call everyone that wasn't drunk to help the defence, there would be too much work for them to do and the others who will be sober by then will be in no condition to attack. Now I understand the pain of commanders......it takes a lot of work so your men don't screw you over.
“Well then.....I better find a place to practice what I know for the upcoming battle.......”
I think back to the places that would be good enough so I won't disturb people. I already planned the way I would stop the army and destroy them in one go. The only problem was to get used to the magic before hand. I remembered a place that was a training field near the edge of the town. It would take no more than 10 minutes to get there and I'll get several hours of practice. However the town was still partying and I could here the noise from the town even over the sound of the party in the Elder's home.
Either way I made my way to the training field which was deserted as I expected.
“First to prevent most of the sound from getting into the ears of the residents....”
Wind Formation ? Circular Form ? Area of Effect Factor ? Expand Factor ? Soundless Factor ? Sound Barrier
“Sound Barrier......”
The air around me stopped and stayed in place. There was enough circulation of air that I could breath though which however made the barrier imperfect as a result. The sound barrier expanded so I had around 10 metres in radius of practice ground in the training field. First of all I wanted to completely destroy the army that was coming in one go and for that I needed to take as many advantages as possible. I would like it to rain on the army before hand but that's impossible for me right now. Flooding the place would also be impossible for me as well. So I have to use the strongest most effective spell over and over again in the second seal release state.
Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Lightning Bolt
I looked over to the ground where I would shoot the lightning bolt at.
Lightning Bolt ? Aim Shot
I pointed my hand at the ground and the Lightning Bolt came out and struck the ground leaving a burnt mark on it. The ground neutralised the Lightning Bolt which was fine with me. If the lightning bolt was powerful enough, the ground would shatter and that would be hard to clean up. Well then...to the next test.
Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Thunder Bolt
I aimed at the same spot again.
Thunder Bolt ? Aim Shot
From somewhere in the air, the thunder bolt was created and fell the the ground.
BANG
It left another burnt mark on the ground. It had roughly the same amount of power but it came from above which made it much more useful in large scale battles. Now I need to multiply it.
Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Thunder Bolt ? Multicast(5)
I aimed at another place away from the burnt marks.
Thunder Bolt(5) ? Aim Shot
BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG
5 Thunder Bolts simultaneously struck the ground leaving equal burnt marks on the ground. It was good that I could cast the spell several times at once. But this wasn't enough. I needed more power in the spell.
Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Expand Factor ? Large Thunder Bolt
BANG
I shot another Thunder Bolt at the same place again. This time the burnt mark was bigger but I felt that the power it held was the same.
Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Amplify Factor ? Destructive Thunder Bolt
BANG
This time the Thunder Bolt had a lot of power but I couldn't really aim it properly. Well it would be fine with it hitting something. Well time to experiment with it. However I noticed that my mana was quite low for some reason.....does these spells take that much mana to cast....
“Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”
This sucked like hell!
Part 3 – Monster....
Morning dawn quite quickly as I was practising to the point that I almost forgot there was going to be an attack soon. It was time to head out along since everyone else was partying through the night and I doubt that they can get out of the town in time. Hey llyfr, can you tell how many I have to kill to repel the army?
[…]
llyfr?
[Around 2000 in total. Most likely that the two guilds “Tasters” and “Cookers” joined up to wipe the town. I'll say most of them will be melee troops so it'll be better than half the army being ranged troops]
Hmm.....then I better meet them head on.
Several Minutes later......
Ding
Guilds “Tasters” and “Cookers” have started their Invasion of the Town. War has began
- You will not get the murderer status when killing players during this war
- Fame and Reputation to the town will be given based on contribution to the battle if won
- You will be taken prisoner if battle is lost.
- Infamy will be gained if the war is lost
The area around the town was mostly plains and that made it ideal for defenders. But the defenders were all drunk. The sound of them marching was very loud and the occasional shouting made it apparent that they were here. I was located on top of the town wall while the army was around a kilometres away from the town now.
They numbered around 400 as llyfr told me before and I could easily see their formation. The army was split up in 4 groups of 100 in a line formation. The front of each group was the melee troops which had little capabilities for ranged combat. This made of most of each group as they were numbered around 50-60 in each group. Then there were the priests which were at the very back of the formation along with the mages. Archers were an independent unit from what I saw with them shattered around the army here and there. They must have considered that it would waste time if they allow the archers to pick off the few remaining people that can fight. In front of each group of men was a high levelled player which was probably in the late 200s or early 300s judging by their armour. They were probably one of the leaders of each of the guilds...which meant they were the perfect target. I doubt that, that many of the troops were actually players since it would be very difficult to convince that many players follow them in a boring battle. Well that just means that morale would be easily lost then.
“Well then lets start llyfr....First Seal Release!”
Due to new Knowledge of how the seal works, you are able to draw out more power than before and it is now stable
Releasing the First Seal gives the following benefits:
- Spell Damage Increases by 100%
- Spell Range Increase by 60%
- Mana Absorption is Activated
- Strength is Increased by 20%
- Agility in Increased by 40%
- Movement Speed Increases by 15%
- Defence Increases by 20%
- Resistance to Magic Increases by 15%
- Fighting Spirit is increased by 20%
Time Limit: 3 Hours
My skin burnt with the incoming power flowing through me. One of the thankful things I've gained while in the Akashic Records was how to better use the First Seal. Now I could actually see how the unsealing affected by body and it was more than before!
[Second Seal Release!]
Due to new Knowledge of how the seal works, you are able to draw out more power than before and it is now stable
Releasing the Second Seal gives the following benefits:
- Mana Increases by 10000
- Gives Rapid Natural Mana Regeneration of 100 mana/second
- All Skills rank up by 1
- Spell Damage Increases by 150%
- Spell Range Increase by 80%
- Strength is Increased by 40%
- Agility is Increased by 80%
- Movement Speed Increases by 30%
- Defence Increases by 40%
- Resistance to Magic Increases by 30%
- Fighting Spirit is increased by 40%
Time Limit: 30 Minutes
Once again my body got another boost in power with my mana increasing to 25000. While releasing the first seal could be considered regaining my natural abilities which in my eyes are pretty damn high even though those stats don't appear on my status window, releasing the second seal is definitely a game breaking ability. I mean look at those bluffs! And I haven't even seen what releasing the third seal could do.
Anyway according to llyfr, I can only use this once a day so if I use of the 3 hours of releasing the first seal or 30 minutes of the second seal, or the equivalent of how much my body can endure; I can't use it anymore until around a day passes. However if I can use it multiple times a day as long as I don't go over the time limit.
“Let's see.....I should aim for the one on the right first since it seems the strongest....”
Lightning Formation ? Body Form ? Amplify Factor ? Lightning Amplifier
Lightning Amplifier ? Body
Lightning Amplifier Activated
Doubles Lightning Damage to Enemies
Increases Lightning Resistance by 20%
This was something I made while experimenting on how to take out an army by myself. I thought about the possibilities of me winning and things were pretty bad. So I thought what was the easiest way of increasing my damage and that was to amplify my magic, plus it gave me some resistance to the element.
Lightning Formation ? Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Expand Factor ? Amplify Factor ? Multicast(50) ? Lightning Shower
My mana was consumed rapidly by the spell. The Lightning Shower spell costed me 15000 at once since each lightning bolt that came out of the spell costed 300 mana individually along with the other factors that made the spell more powerful. The original spell used by lightning mages at level 200 costed much less at a mana cost of 6000 which was most of the mana of the mage at that level. The reason why my spell costed more was that it was much more powerful and it wasted quite a bit of mana due to my lack of ability. I aimed the Lightning Shower at the large group on the right.
Lightning Shower ? Aim Shot
“Lightning Shower....”
SPARK
The area above the group was creating a large amount of static electricity due to my spell. After a few painful seconds, the spell finally finished and bolts of lightning fell to the ground one after the other.
BANG BANG BANG BANG......
You have levelled up
You have levelled up
You have levelled up
You have levelled up
You have levelled up
You have gained 1 concentration
You have gained 1 intelligence
Everyone in the army was panicking at the sight of the lightning shower that appeared out of nowhere....well I think some of the mages noticed but didn't tell their leader in time. I heard the screams of the poor fellas in the lightning shower.....I have a feeling if I was in there, I would die pretty easily even with my resistances to the magic.....
My mana regenerated at a rough rate of 100 mana per seconds. That means I have to wait around 1 minutes before I could cast the spell again and I think in 1 minutes the troops would be pretty close and I would have almost no mana left to deal with the other two groups that would be left.
The army itself was in shock. After the group on the right was fried to death and only 300 people were left. The 3 remaining groups spread out quite a bit to counter my lightning shower when it next comes. It doesn't look like they will retreat. Well if I pick off the leaders than the rest will crumble away soon enough. All of them were in my range but aiming so far away is.....difficult.
Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Thunder Bolt
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Thunder Bolt ? Aim Shot
I aimed at one of the leaders of the army whom was shouting some commands. Lightning quickly formed and...stuck next to him......damn I missed and now they will know that I can snipe them from afar. Hmm? An arrow?
STAB
You took 455 damage
An arrow was stuck on my shoulder. You got to be joking....there was a sniper in that army? I though they were most useful on higher grounds. Well its been around a minutes now and my mana is above 15000 now. In that one minute the rest of the surviving army was 600 metres away. They were almost half way here and were spread out as well. Mages were starting shoot their spells at me and the priest have bluffed the other troops already. Well time to cripple their support.
Earth Formation ? Ground Form ? Break Factor ? Expand Factor ? Earth Break
Earth Break ? Wall
“Earth Break!”
The ground beneath the mage and priests sudden broke apart. The ground itself fell apart to make a big hole where many people fell and died in....well mostly the magic classes and those unfortunate enough to fall in with them.
You have levelled up
I bet their morale plummeted from that as well. I can already see some NPCs running away from the battle against one person. Then one of the leaders shouted something and the rest of the troops charged at me. I should have enough to do one more lightning shower at them.
Lightning Formation ? Lightning Formation ? Bolt Form ? Air-Strike Factor ? Expand Factor ? Amplify Factor ? Spread Factor ? Multicast(30) ? Lightning Shower
This time I reduced the amount of Lightning Bolts that will hit the target to save on mana. It only costed 9000 mana now but it was still deadly and could easily kill other players and NPCs.
Lightning Shower ? Aim Shot
I tried to spread as much of the lightning shower as possible to deal the maximum amount of damage. This time I could feel that the Lightning Shower was more dangerous in various ways.....
BANG BANG BANG BANG......
“Ahh...........ahhh..........................ahh..........monster...........”
You have levelled up
You have gained 1 concentration
You have gained 1 intelligence
Due to the distance to the army, I could hear their screams now though faintly. I killed around 700 people in one go so I wiped half their army out......this was more powerful than I expected. It seemed it was a waste to use so much power in one area when it could be spread out to deal much more damage to an army. But considering a Boss Monster can tank through the damage quite easily....I would consider condensed damage to be useful. However....there's still 700 battle ready troops right in front of me and I have to deal with them all by myself.
Part 4 – Past Best Forgotten
I have to do something that will defeat them all in such a short time. I don't have enough mana to use another Lightning Shower and that spell isn't exactly effective after two tries right now. Do I use other spell? The Earth Break spell was pretty effective but I've already used it once and the benefit of surprise is gone for that spell. Fire spells would be effective but it'll take too much mana to target everyone at once and the same goes for Ice magic though I can use it to at least stall for time.....wind and water are pretty useless here unless on a large scale. What do I do? Magic doesn't seem all that helpful in this situation and going melee and suicide without good armour on me......damn they're getting closer to the town.........shit I don't know what to do. I'm just standing here regenerating my mana but I don't have a plan anymore......I have to quickly recall on what I've learnt on large scale combat.......but I don't have an army and the residents are useless right now so I only can count on myself.......do I draw them away from the town.....but only some of them will follow me and the rest will destroy the town......I have to be a large enough threat to them.....but I already wiped more than half their army by myself.....they know the limitations of magic classes.....the strongest in terms of damage but weak in all other areas......but I am stronger than that through my stats but its useless against such odds......what do I do? Damnit.....they're only 300 metres away and I can't stop all of them......they can only get in via the gate but some of them can climb the walls but most of them will head for the gate at the first go.....I can start there.....but I don't have a weapon to counter them......
[In that case why don't you use one of mine. Torrwr can handle all of them at once]
llyfr! Damn why didn't I think of that! But......I'm still kinda defenceless here......
[Then use the Magic King Armour!]
But......it might be too much to use it for the first time in combat. And besides there was no one who could control it besides you right?
[….....In that case, summon a part of it. The gloves of the armour should do for now. Just focus your mind on just creation that part of it and ignore the rest of it]
Right......
Creation Magic ? Torrwr
“Creation Magic: Torrwr”
The golden spear appeared once more in front of me.
Spear that Pierced the Heavens: Torrwr
This spear is a replica made from Creation Magic and as such does not carry the true power of the spear. However it carries a small portion of the originals power
Once lost in time and forgotten, it was said that a great Hero loved by the Gods created this weapon from the bones of his fallen comrades and imbued it with power from their souls. The result was an extremely powerful weapon that processes its own will, to help their dear friend. Many wise men in the past have glazed upon this spear and from it created blacksmithing that fused weapons and souls which was also lost in time as well. Deemed as a forbidden technique by all, it was said that the souls of fallen warriors were used to create weapons from the ones that slay them.
The spear was used by that same Hero to rip apart the barrier between mortals and immortals and thus started the war of Myth and Legends.
- Using this Spear Rapidly Drains the Mana of the one who summoned it to this world at a rate of 50 mana/second
- This Spear was ridiculously high durability and will never break or bend unless against creatures that have suppressed common sense
- Base Damage is calculated from the stats of the wielder, current base damage is 70-80
- Can change shape at will of wielder
- Owner that the Spear recognise can move the spear using telekinesis
Ho....so much information on the spear. Well I can think of it later, now to summon the armour......how exactly do I do that?
[Hmm....normally I would say to create an image of the armour in your head but you've never seen the armour before so its much more difficult for you. Well can't help it....I'll show you the complete set once for the growth of your skills]
The image of the army charging straight at me was suddenly replaced by another one......but this one was not from my own two eyes but from llyfr...or someone else. The place was definitely a battlefield and the very sky was dyed a crimson red. I looked around to see countless dead soldiers many that looked really really strong as well, at least level 600 or so. There was only a few people that were alive at this stage and they're going to face the strongest enemy yet.......wait how do I know that?
CRACK CRACK CRACK
The few survivors were looking up in the sky. I followed their gaze to see something I rather not have.....the sky cracked and 'that thing' fell out. I can't even describe it.....it was not of this world and it was most likely going to destroy the world and no one can stop it with or without the helps of Gods supporting them. Many at this point have dropped their swords in defeat but a few have not. I couldn't tell their features really well for some reason but they seemed more powerful than the rest.
There was one man the stood out from the rest. Even though the faces and features of everyone was blurred, I could tell that it was llyfr.
“Its time......the final battle approaches” he said out loud.
Meanwhile 'that thing' that was coming out started the destruction of the world. Everything....just vanished where ever it went.
Zizzzzzzzz
Static? The scene changed again and there was no more corpses on the ground. llyfr was still there but there were less people with him this time. The others I kinda remembered from the previous scene but some of them didn't appear. This time I saw a large group of refugees escaping from 'that thing' while llyfr and his companions watched.
Zizzzzzzzz
The scene changed again and llyfr and fewer of his companions stood in a field of those refugees that were all dead. I took the chance to see the armour llyfr wore since I presume it was the Magic King Armour......but it doesn't seem that great. According to Alexandra it shined some sort of light and I can tell that this armour did not......hmm.....did llyfr mislead me?
Zizzzzzzzz
Once again the scene changed. There was only 3 companions with llyfr now.....I wonder what happened to the rest of them. Well I know they died but how? What was 'that thing'? IT was something that was extremely powerful, more powerful then the Gods themselves since they can't stop it from devouring the world........
“We have to choice.........we have to use that............this is unfortunate........call down the Gods”
Zizzzzzzzz
Three Goddesses descended to the world....all three of them were coated in a white dress. They seemed to be sister Goddesses.
“You request our help?” asked one of the Goddesses.
“We cannot defeat this foe” said other one.
“For it is beyond our domain.” said the third one.
“Even the God Armour is useless against it.” they said simultaneously.
llyfr had a depressed face. Speaking of which what happened to the other three? Hmm? What was that over there? A magic circle? Don't tell me.....
“I did not call you to for that.” said llyfr to the three Goddesses.
He looked at 'that thing' and back to the Goddesses.
“What I want is....”
Zizzzzzzzz
A man was walking to 'that thing'. It was llyfr. But this time he was wearing the Magic King Armour. I could tell since it matched the description Alexandra and Viv gave me. He summoned a golden spear and threw it at 'that thing' and pinned it to the ground. A bow came out next and countless arrows fell from the sky to hit 'that thing'. But it was useless. 'That thing' was not affected by the attacks at all. Then llyfr summoned the sword and charged straight into 'that thing' chopping it to pieces. 'That thing' quickly regenerated and counter-attacked. The attack was deflected by the armour he wore.
Several magic circles appeared on the armour but it did not affect llyfr at all. From what I can see some elements of the magic circles involved breaking armour and disconnecting the power of Gods.
“Fool! Did you think your attacks would break this armour?! You may easily destroy the God Armour but this one, equal to the God Armour yet forged by man is not affected by your foul magic!” shouted llyfr.
The armour glowed more powerfully and llyfr summoned back the spear, dual wielding both of them. He repelled 'that thing' easily and it started to retreat.
“This is the end Devourer!”
llyfr started to chase the thing known as the Devourer through the cracks in the sky and ended up somewhere in there.
Zizzzzzzzz
llyfr was standing along in a place that had no life anywhere. Was this the place the Devourer went to and llyfr chased it there? No....these mountains...this was the same place as before! What the hell happened here? His armour seemed.....different as well. Its glow was....sinister for some reason....completely different from the glow it had before. llyfr was just standing there doing nothing.....and yet everything...even the ground itself was dying around him and llyfr was becoming stronger......
Rumble Rumble Rumble.....
An army that was in the tens of thousands was approaching llyfr. He just stood there as they advanced on him. Was he not going to at least defend himself......then I saw what happened. One by one the men in the army died. They were sucked of all their mana and then their lives. In a few minutes llyfr killed an entire army without lifting a finger. As time passed more and more of the land was dying, being absorbed into llyfr. Some other armies came to kill him but they died before they could even get close and soon the innocent were being killed as well. Dropping like flies as they tried to cling to life from something they couldn't comprehend.
Zizzzzzzzz
Twelve flashes of light descended from the heavens, each one representing an element and each one taking the form of a beast. A Lion, Whale, Penguin, Monkey, Bird, Mole, Turtle, Elephant, Goat, Deer, two Dragons that were white and black appeared and surrounded llyfr whom did not move at all. From the feeling the twelve gave me, I knew that they were at least on the level of avatars, the servants of the Elemental Lords. Each one was powerful enough to take down a continent single handedly.
[It is unfortunate llyfr....]
[Yes......we had high hopes for you]
[To think the one who would guide the world would.....]
[The Devourer was a creature that was immortal in more than a few ways]
[Even Gods cannot touch it]
[And yet you........foolishly charged straight into its lair and fought....]
[And this is how you turned up.....after the battle that all could see but none could interfere]
[One neither can guide......and one that cannot devourer all....]
[You have become strong.......too strong......]
[To the point that the world rejects you and you reject the weak world....]
[We have come here to purge you.......for the stack of Creation]
[For you are the Destroyer that consumed the Devourer, the Destroyer of Gods]
“Fools.......do you think you can defeat me? I'm thankful that you've come here.......AS MY FOOD!!!”
Zizzzzzzzz
llyfr was standing over the white dragon, stepping on it. The others were....all shattered and their life essence was being absorbed by llyfr.......it was about time that the white one died as well.
“ROOOOOOOOOOOOAR”
The Black Dragon shot out its breath and it was blocked and absorbed as well. A spear pierced its neck and the black dragon well to the ground dead.
[Impossible......for you to have this much power............]
“Oh? You're still alive?”
[llyfr......you must stop before....]
STOMP
llyfr killed the White Dragon before it could finish. His armour glowed even brighter than before and some parts gave off the energy that was recently absorbed. I looked around and found that the land was destroyed beyond recognition. The last thing I saw was the armour that glowed in the destruction of all other.
Part 5 – Finishing Blow
I was back.......the army was no closer than I remembered it would be but I felt like I was watching a long movie. What just happened?
[Eden! Create the Armour!]
Oh....right.
“Magic King Gauntlets.......” I muttered under my breath.
I still had the image of the armour in my head quite clearly. I created the image of the gauntlets over and over again to the point that it may as well be in front of me.
FLASH
I looked down on my hands to find that the gauntlets have appeared. It had a similar design to Alexandra's one but in my opinion it looked a lot cooler.
Gauntlets of the Magic King Durability: 50/50 Defence: 20
Gauntlets of a Tyrant that once rebelled against the Gods. Its power over time has waned and it is only a shell of its former self. However its still one of the most powerful things in the world being made from a substance stronger than the legendary Helium and possesses unknown powers.
Options:
- Drains Mana when worn
- All Stats increases by 5%
- Less chance of being Critical hit.
- Able to parry using gloves
- Increases Weapon Speed in exchange for Mana
This was.......kinda good and bad at the same time. Normally I would kill to get such an awesome pair of Gauntlets since it had good stats for my level but considering its from the Magic King Armour....it kinda sucks. But since the skill is at Beginner Level 2, I'm not that surprised that it isn't as good as I originally thought. Well its time to kill the rest of them. They were only 100 metres away.
I lifted the spear above my head using two hands and I swung down at the army.
“ENLARGE!!!”
BOOOM
The spear become extremely large and smashed the ground killing many people in one blow. I shrunk the spear and positioned myself in a stance that would allow me to swung horizontally and wipe the army out in one blow.
Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuush
“ENLARGE!!!”
BOOOM
The top layer...nay, several layers of the ground was pushed aside with the army similar to how you would cut the skin off an apple. The bare earth was exposed and the army completely destroyed.
You have levelled up
You have levelled up
You have gained 1 concentration
You have gained 1 Domination
Ding
Invasion of the Guilds “Tasters” and “Cookers” have been repelled
Due to the influence of opposing Gods, you will not gain any Fame or Reputation with the town
“Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!”
Damn I didn't get any fame?! What the hell is the meaning of this?!
[Hmm......maybe the Gods recognise you as an enemy and so they don't want you to gain any kind of fame in this world]
GOD DAMNIT! THIS IS COMPLETE BULLSHI-
WACK
You have taken 15 damage
I turned around still pissed to see that the residents of the town have waken up......except that they were armed with spears and rocks against me now......the elder wasn't in sight so I can't do anything about it. But they looked weird for some reason. It was like something else was controlling them.
[It looks like the Gods have started outlawing you from the world]
Yeah.......this is going to be a uphill battle from now on.
“Monster.....” muttered one of them.
They had the eyes of a rabbit that had fallen in the den of a dragon. Completely powerless, unable to think straightly and bares their fangs at anything and everything including the dragon itself. I don't blame them. I blame those piss ass Gods that have denied me of Fame and Reputation.
[I thought you didn't want much exposed to the world]
This and that is different. I pain stacked repelled an army and I don't get anything in return. Me lazing around before this damn quest appear was fine with no one recognising me for my achievements. Think about it, if you did something good for another person, you would want that person to recognise that you did something good. What these Damnable Gods did was deny me that right. And that's why I'm going to take it out on Alexandra. But before that I have to leave....now!
Earth Formation ? Ground Form ? Break Factor ? Earth Break
I de-summoned the spear and the Magic King gloves and placed my hand on the wall that I was standing on. It was a low standing wall made of stone but it still came from the Earth.
“Earth Break.”
The wall under me started to break apart. The residents ran away when I did this which saved me some time. Now to contact those two....are they STILL sleeping?
- Eden, we're at the other side of the town. Get here now before the town lynches you
Ah.......wait why the hell are those two on the OTHER side of town when they were suppose to be helping me?!
- Go ahead for now. The town has already started their lynching but ran away quickly. I'll catch up later.....and also, Alexandra...we need to talk later
- What? Are you going to confess to me?
- HELL NO!
llyfr can you seal me?
[Second Seal activate!]
Second Seal has been activated
Now then....First Seal Activate!
First Seal has activated
“Man.......how far will they get before I catch up to them......we are heading North right?.......man its going to be a pain to find them”
I sighed and started running North to where my comrades on the other side should be heading as well.

Author's Notes:
- To summaries the whole chapter, Eden kills an army. The end.
- 7500~ words long
- On another note I'm going to this Uni orientation day camp thing tomorrow, from Monday to Wednesday (I no no fucking clue why my Uni has this in the first place) and cannot write during that time. This means I can't finish that other series I've hiding before Uni starts (Not that it matters since it already takes me a several days just to write one chapter and I only finished the first two)....anyway this is becoming more and more like a rant than notes....
- Anyway if you're confused on what happens with llyfr, then don't worry! It gets worse later on and will make you even more confused. I noticed this a while back and didn't bother to change the plot around that part.
