Chapter 60: The Cleansing Pill and the Kinetic Bludgeon
[Quest Completed Successfully!]
[Your spatial awareness remains perfectly calibrated and highly accurate.]
[Distributing Rewards: +20 Strength, Skill ’Kinetic Shockwave (Upgraded)’ Acquired, 400 Shameless Points.]
A sudden explosive surge of dense muscular power flooded his body elevating his total Strength to an astronomical one hundred and fifty points.
The upgraded Kinetic Shockwave skill burned its advanced mechanics into his brain granting him the ability to violently project concentrated tremors through solid matter rather than simply stomping the ground.
Beatrice sailed gracefully through the oppressive dark air perfectly bypassing the chaotic skirmish zone. Leon’s flawless trajectory deposited her directly onto the plush velvet steps resting right at the base of the Patriarch’s throne.
She landed softly and immediately scrambled up the stairs driven entirely by her fierce unwavering loyalty to her master.
Her pale cheeks were burning with a furious dark blush from the incredibly shameless launch tactic but she tightly gripped the wooden pillbox and focused on her mission.
The Grandmaster narrowed his dark eyes beneath his ornate silver mask. He instantly recognized the small wooden box in the maid’s hand and realized the ragged servant was attempting to cure his primary target.
"You truly are a deeply irritating pest," the Syndicate leader hissed coldly.
He raised his hand intending to send a sprawling shadow serpent to impale the Head Maid before she could reach the poisoned nobleman.
Leon did not allow the mercenary to shift his aggro.
He materialized directly in front of the Syndicate leader projecting his Minor Kinetic Domain to violently push back the suffocating dark gravity pressing against his skin.
He drew his ironwood practice sword and infused it heavily with his kinetic mana. He swung the dense wooden weapon in a devastating horizontal arc aiming directly at the mercenary’s neck.
The Grandmaster scoffed and did not even bother moving.
A thick wall of jagged black shadows instantly materialized to block the wooden stick expecting the pathetic weapon to instantly shatter upon contact.
Leon grinned a dark predatory smile.
Raw magical elements like fire or ice could be easily absorbed by the shadow domain but pure physical kinetic force operated on entirely different mechanical principles.
The kinetic infused ironwood collided with the dark magical barrier.
The sheer monstrous force of Leon’s one hundred and fifty Strength points combined with the raw repelling nature of his kinetic aura violently disrupted the shadowy composition.
The wooden blade did not shatter. It aggressively pushed entirely through the autonomous defense and heavily struck the Grandmaster directly across the left shoulder.
A loud sickening crack echoed through the study.
The Syndicate leader was violently blasted backward sliding roughly ten feet across the ruined marble floor before digging his boots in to halt his momentum.
His elegant dark robes were torn at the shoulder and a small trickle of fresh blood leaked from beneath his silver mask.
Commander Vance who was currently leaning heavily against a shattered bookshelf stared at the ragged attendant with absolute pure awe.
The elite Master tier knights had exhausted their ultimate techniques and failed to scratch the mercenary yet this mysterious servant had just casually bludgeoned the mercnary using a basic wooden training sword.
The Grandmaster slowly stood up straight and wiped the blood from his chin.
The cold sadistic amusement that had defined his demeanor entirely vanished replaced by a furious boiling murderous intent that caused the entire room to violently shake.
"You are going to suffer a thousand agonizing deaths for touching me you magicless filth," the Syndicate leader promised in a terrifying echoing roar.
The crystal bell chimed frantically in Leon’s skull projecting a glowing pink text box right amidst the swirling violent shadows.
[Emergency Combat Quest Issued: The Bug Bites Back]
[Context: The arrogant Grandmaster believes physical fighters are pathetic insects unworthy of sharing his air. He is preparing to unleash a highly lethal area of effect attack.]
[Objective: Use Kinetic Repulsion on your own boots to boost your speed, bypass his shadow shield using pure brute force, and punch him directly in his ornate silver face.]
[Reward: +20 Mana, Skill ’Aura Manifestation (Fragment)’, 500 Shameless Points.]
[Failure Penalty: The Host will suffer a violent localized explosion in his trousers rendering him permanently entirely smooth down below.]
Leon read the penalty and felt a massive surge of primal adrenaline flood his nervous system.
Losing his most prized masculine asset to a magical explosion was absolutely out of the question.
He dropped his ironwood sword and raised his bare fists preparing to wage a highly desperate brutal war of attrition.
The Grandmaster raised both of his hands and the dark shadows swirling around the room aggressively converged forming dozens of massive jagged spears of pure dark magic floating menacingly in the air.
He thrust his hands forward unleashing a relentless devastating volley of shadow spears designed to completely obliterate the entire quadrant where Leon was standing.
Leon activated his Silent Casting skill and directed a highly concentrated burst of Kinetic Repulsion directly out of the soles of his leather boots.
The invisible blasts acted like magical thrusters violently rocketing his body forward at a speed that heavily strained his own enhanced muscles.
He wove through the deadly barrage of shadow spears relying on his Danger Intuition and his terrifying Agility to narrowly avoid being skewered.
A stray spear grazed his shoulder violently shredding the fabric of his tailored tunic and drawing a deep line of fresh blood but his Minor Pain Nullification kept his focus razor sharp.
He closed the distance and materialized directly inside the Grandmaster’s personal guard.
The autonomous shadow serpents aggressively surged forward to defend their master but Leon channeled his upgraded Kinetic Shockwave directly into his left fist and slammed it into the dark barrier.
The localized tremor violently shattered the magical defense creating a tiny fleeting opening.
Leon coiled his right arm utilizing every single ounce of his massive one hundred and fifty points of Strength and delivered a devastating straight punch directly into the center of the Grandmaster’s ornate silver mask.
The sheer kinetic force of the impact sounded like a detonating artillery shell.
The highly enchanted silver mask instantly cracked down the middle splintering into jagged pieces that aggressively dug into the mercenary’s face.
The Grandmaster let out a deafening roar of pure agonizing pain as he was violently launched completely off his feet crashing heavily into a towering mahogany display cabinet and reducing the expensive furniture to useless splinters.
