Floor 16
An army in front of me… or more like four armies of SS Grade Monsters fighting amongst themselves. If I were to estimate, then the total number of monsters was around 40 to 50 thousand.
"Well. Let's recharge our power, shall we?" I smiled wickedly as I looked at my Deaths of Duality.
Then…
I began walking towards one of the soldier monsters before dashing towards it and slashing it from behind as my sword began absorbing it.
A miniscule amount of energy flowed into the sword, half of which I absorbed into my body.
Then I moved on to the next… and next… and next…
After about 15 minutes of continuous killing and absorbing, I finally ended up gaining the attention of all the monsters there.
My strength was recharged to 20% from the previous 10% and since I had enough power…
"Blood Sacrifice: First moon," I muttered as my eyes turned red and my skin turned a bit red. My eyes observed the complete area with a chilling look, making everyone take a step back away from me.
-Slash!
I slashed the air with a bit of my strength, killing 10s of them at once.
"Hmmm… Now that it's at this stage," I muttered as I observed the area and spoke,
"Breath Fragment: Absolute Breathing."
I wanted to try it. I wanted to see it. How would Amon's Fragment work… though the only thing I can think of was… to reduce the function of breathing from my body and let the fragment handle that.
With my breath out of my way, the energy used by my body is decreased a lot. The concentration too increases, and so does precision.
"Light Fragment: Ablaze Enchantment," I spoke as I tried to enchant the Deaths of Duality with a fire element.
Normally it wouldn't have been possible, but… since we are talking about a Guardian's Fragment, maybe…
I then noticed my blades glowing a bit before it turned dark again.
'So did that work or not?' I questioned as I tried to take a good look at my blades, but still couldn't find any difference.
"Well… worth a try," I thought before giving myself one last upgrade.
"Blood Sacrifice: Dance of the Death Reaper," I muttered as I began releasing a portion of Death Energy from the blades as well.
Taking my stance, I muttered,"Shadow Style: Curse of the Berserk," before I let my body run into the fray, in the army once again.
-Slash!
I slashed slightly and… the effect was that…
The entire area in front of me was raised in the air. Everything was burning with a dark fire and soon all the energy started flowing into my blade.
About 20% of the army was gone with a single attack…
'What did..?' I thought as I checked my blades.
It wasn't the Deaths of Duality's ability. The Breath Fragment's effect was to boost my concentration and it really did that. Though that shouldn't have been enough to do this much damage.
"The Light Fragment," I muttered, as I believed only that could increase the strength of the blades that much.
'With this… I could at max take about 3 General Parasites at once… Royal Parasite. I don't think I can take on a Royal Parasite with this much upgrade…,' I thought as a small smile formed in my face.
This was a nice 'small' upgrade.
With that many monsters killed and absorbed, my powers rose to 40%. I then began to do a couple of more similar slashes and…
The entire army on the ground was erased in an instant. Soon, another army began forming out of the ground.
And I saw multiple portals opening out of which thousands of soldiers were arriving.
Another 10 thousand were coming from the sky above.
"That's a lot more than before… hmmm, is it related to me wiping the entire ground at once?" I questioned, as I couldn't make any sense out of it.
Last time, it was harder to kill the army but with time I ended up killing 80% of the army. At that time, as soon as the number fell below 20% or something, the floor changed.
The SSS-Grade monsters began coming out of similar portals to this one. Though the monsters from the air,
The S4 Grade Monsters.
They only appeared after I killed the rest of the SSS-Grade Monsters.
'Hmmm… seems like they are… yup, they are. Guess I am to blame myself for that,'I realized as I observed that all the armies were coming at me rather than fighting amongst themselves.
"Well… makes it easier for me," I smiled before I jumped at those monsters too with a slightly wicked grin.
-Dash!
They too came at me, both the SSS Grade and S4 Grade Monsters, though like moths flying towards flame, they just burned before getting absorbed into my blade.
For the next 20 minutes, the massacre continued as I ended up killing each and everyone of those monsters.
At the end of the fight, I was standing there at the center of the empty field.
The entire army was massacred and there was nothing in sight as far as one could see.
Dark Aura was overflowing out of my body and blade as I had absorbed too much of Death Energy in this fight.
"Rejection Fragment: I reject the wastage of the Death Energy from my body," I said, as a little less than half of the energy vanished in an instant.
Though the rest half stopped overflowing from my body. While half of the energy was vanished, it was still at least 10 times more than I can store in my body.
Though something happened…
All that energy which couldn't escape started flowing into the blade slowly getting settled at the top. The energy slowly solidified, becoming a part of the Deaths of Duality.
"Hmmm… never knew it was possible," I thought as I observed the Deaths of Duality.
However, before I could concentrate on them, my eyes shifted to the 5 entities slowly descending in front of me.
Each of them had a power of about S5, with the middle one looking like an S6 to me.
'Well, I guess… I should have anticipated this as well,' I muttered before preparing myself for another round.
