Chapter 96: You know what, I'm splitting.
1049 Words
"Hm?"
In the midst of our journey, I feel something that I feel like only I can feel. Because no one else other than me is reacting the same way as I do. It's something sinister yet inviting. Meaning, it's a fight. Someone strong is waiting for me. The reason why I can detect that has to do with me being the holder of the Royal Capital Key...
"Alright guys. You guys go straight ahead. I'm going to take a scenic route for a bit."
I said that and everyone immediately understand what I meant by that. It's an opponent that they cannot detected yet I can. It's way above their current league and if they were with me, they're nothing but a burden.
"Oops, There's enemies right ahead too. Finish that off as we're finishing this, OneSec."
Since everyone understand that. I immediately activate my Godspeed and dashed straight toward the enemy that's been observing me. It doesn't take long for me to get there, and I think the creature understand that I'm coming toward him at a speed that no one can actually see...
From a far, I can see the creature clearly. The creature that's been exerting an aura to call me out is similar to that of a knight. It's holding a shield and also a sword. It's standing tall and proper. There's nothing that can faze the knight from the look of it.
I can also see that his eyes are following every single bit of my movement.
That's definitely bad news. I didn't think that there's something that can detect a full speed OneSec.... I'm the fastest person in the game right now. To think that a being is capable of doing that means that it's not going to be an easy fight...
The Knight started to make its move the moment it knows that I know him... Which is terrifying... He just pulls his sword out and pointed it straight at me...
The moment I blink, the Knight has cut the distance in half. I stopped moving and observed him more carefully as I draw my King's Daggers...
"You are dangerous huh. I can feel a certain death feeling from you. It's thicker than anything I faced before."
It's obvious that I'm putting a very heavy intonation on my guard. Because this opponent that I'm facing, is not a normal NPC...
"Naturally, It's like that. The Royal Guardian is a being that guard the Royal Capital from pests that's going to come in like you. But I felt the presence of Royal Capital Key from you. Hence, I shall see it for myself. Whether you are a true holder or nothing but a pest that steals the royal key."
"Alright. That's a good enough reason for me to fight you..."
It's risky to fight him without any back up. But at the same time, everyone would've been dead the moment we actually fought.
The Knight started to reveal his identity toward me.
"My name is Ewing. I am One of the Two Royal Guardians of the Coggs Villa. I am the Heavenly Knight. State your name, key holder!"
"... I am OneSec! A Blood Phantom. Nice to meet you!"
Without any hesitation... I immediately throw my Lethal Torture straight toward Ewing. Several was shot straight toward Ewing direction, ready to shred him into pieces so bad that he's not going to be recognized once he's done being shred...
Ewing recognize the danger and immediately put his shield up and let one of my Saw hit his shield. He uses that momentum to push himself back a bit. Since my Lethal Torture is set in a certain place, he essentially dodged it all by just using his shield to push himself...
"Is that all?"
Ewing look at me with belittled eyes... He is not impressed by what I just did. In fact, he seems... Disappointed. Which makes me feels something that's not supposed to be felt... It gets me somehow angry...
"You're chatting s**t out of your ass for someone who just block my attack."
"It's not blocking. I'm just too lazy to show you my movement. I deemed you not too worthy to use my moves on."
Ah, I get it... This is that type of scenario huh...
"... I didn't like to use it so soon. But, since you force my hand. I guess I'll let you see it for now..."
Since Ewing forced my hand so soon... I guess so be it... I put my mask on and immediately relaxed all of my muscle... I couldn't care less to show this to the game master...
Back to some time ago...
In the lab where I got experimented on... I sat alone with Hanami talking about something that is not supposed to be talked about in public...
"Remember well, Shiro-boy. Even though your base movement is now the same as in the game... I decided to put a limiter on your in game. It's so that you can decide for yourself when to use your full power."
"Huh? Putting a limiter in the game? How is that possible?"
"It's just something that I've been preparing long before this project... After all, your ability would be too far out of this world. An outstanding ability would surely broke the game in an instant. But at the same time, you need to have the ability to broke the game in an instant because you are my project. So, Shiro-boy. When the time comes, don't hesitate to release your limiter. After all, I'm just someone who unleashes your potential."
When I heard that, I remember smiling big and feeling the most thankful I have ever felt in my entire life. Releasing me of my reality limiter... Is not an easy feat, in fact, it's impossible if it's not for the Tech Queen doing it.
Now back to the present.
"I'll show you, Ewing. What my friend did to me. Something that is so impossible that no one would believe that I'm capable of doing it."
As I'm doing my monologue explaining stuff to Ewing... My aura started to get heavier as times goes on... Ewing shivers nervously when he noticed it...
Hanami. I'm doing it...
"Go Forth..."
I chanted something that releases my ability.
