Another World Mall-Chapter 739: Death

"It is..." Mara looked Clovis in the eye.

All of a sudden, he could feel chills down his spine. Even the smell of blood permeated the air, reminding Clovis of what had happened previously.

"This is..." Clovis widened his eyes and looked around. The ground cracked again, and the tree snapped. Blood was gushing out of the trunk, filling the soil. The sky turned red as though blood had dyed the sky.

"!!!" Clovis panicked. He didn’t know why Mara suddenly activated this ability. "What are you—!"

Suddenly, Clovis felt a powerful presence in the sky as though death itself was hovering above him. He couldn’t help but raise his head.

It was there he could see a massive eye.

This eye stripped him of everything: his emotion... his body... even his entire being.

’What is this...

’An eye...

’I can’t feel my body anymore...

’No... Am I even breathing at this point?

’Scared? I don’t know. Can this even be considered scary? My heart doesn’t feel anything... It is as if I don’t have a heart anymore... fгeewebnovёl.com

’No. Do I even have anything left?’

Clovis was just staring at the sky. It felt like his entire body was gone, as though it had been crushed to oblivion. The only thing he had left was his consciousness, which gradually disappeared as well.

He was scared, but that fear was so powerful that it numbed his heart, making him wonder if this was even fear to begin with.

He couldn’t do anything... moving, twitching, or even breathing... It was as if death had come for him.

Fortunately, he snapped back to reality after hearing Mara’s voice. Her voice was like an icy cold wind seeping into his bones. "When you gaze at the abyss..."

For some reason, his instinct was just to continue that sentence, as it was also the reflection of what he was currently experiencing.

"... the abyss stares back at you..." Clovis muttered before the entire illusion vanished as though it didn’t exist to begin with. The blood smell, the red sky, or even the eye in the sky... all of them disappeared without a trace.

"Haaaa. Ha...!" Clovis dropped to his knees as he gasped for air. "A... Ahh..."

He tried to speak, but his tongue was still paralyzed.

"The last one is also where the name also comes from. Abyss Time. This is the true identity of our unique ability.

"I’m going to have you learn these three things. Our unique ability is an ability that can harness killing intent.

"We incorporate that killing intent in our affinities, which is what you currently are capable of right now. But I want you to be able to activate only one affinity by the time we finish our training.

"Then, the second one is manifest that killing intent in the form of a beast, giving life to your own technique by infusing that killing intent.

"Last but not least, the domain-like killing intent. You have been accumulating the killing intent the whole time.

"The reason why you think you lose your rationality is simply because you are unaware of this fact and try to control the killing intent. That’s what takes over your mind.

"Although I don’t know if you can do the third one or not, I will train you to that point. As for your future achievement, it will entirely depend on your ability.

"Besides, it looks like you have another unique ability in your body. So, my path might not be perfectly suitable for you. You might be able to combine them in one way or another.

"That’s why you should search for the answer yourself."

Clovis took a few deep breaths to calm himself down from gazing into the abyss earlier. He couldn’t call this the Perfect State anymore. Instead, he should start calling it by its proper name, Abyss Time.

Clovis nodded with a serious expression. "I understand. I will do my best."

Mara nodded. "There might be a reason why the me outside this world let you experience that unique ability. At the very least, I know that she wants you to receive it and master this power.

"That’s why I will do it. There is a chance another notification will appear once you’re able to manifest that power."

Clovis nodded. "Yes. What am I supposed to do now?"

"It’s as simple as training both your body and your mind. If you want to control that killing intent, you need a stronger vessel capable of withstanding the killing intent.

"In that case, I just have to make you strong enough to withstand the pressure from the killing intent. Once you’re able to resist it, you will be able to activate and deactivate this power whenever you like.

"Well, we will also be moving around. You are going to fight the beasts."

"Yes. But do you mind if Reolf stays with us?" Clovis pointed at Reolf.

"He is a part of your ability. So, be it." Mara nodded before turning to Reolf. "As long as your training is not interrupted, do whatever you want. You can play with him or even call your friends during your free time... if you can afford to do something else aside from resting during that time of course."

Clovis smiled wryly. "I will do my best."

Clovis turned to Reolf while smiling, "Isn’t that good, Reolf? We can be together. You, too, need to get stronger."

"Waaf!" Reolf replied with a happy face. This was also the reason he followed Clovis in the first place.

He wanted to become strong enough to fight those overlords. As long as he followed Clovis’ footsteps, he had the chance to aim for the peak, which was Tier 9.

Of course, no one really knew whether the beast also required a unique ability or something to become a Tier 9 or not.

Nevertheless, this training would create that foundation.

Clovis closed his eyes for a moment, recalling everything that had happened so far. He had met so many wonderful teammates. Although it was going to be a while, he promised to reunite with them and once again lead them to the very top.
