Awakening of the Mind Sovereign-Chapter 24: =-Absolute Madness-=

The arena was destroyed.

The air was thick with dust, and the cracks in the ground told the story of a terrifying battle.

Kyber... was panting!

Yes, Kyber, who had increased his power from 1% to 120%! Kyber, who had been relentlessly striking Elliot!

But now... he was breathing heavily.

He looked at Elliot, who was swaying as if he were about to fall... but he didn't.

Why didn't he fall?

How was he still standing after all this?

Elliot's gaze... wasn't human!His eyes were empty... yet at the same time, they burned with a terrifying madness!

His pupils widened... his lips curled into a cold smile, but it wasn't a human smile.

Then... in a dead voice, the voice of someone who had lost everything, the voice of someone who no longer cared about anything, he said:

"Heh... do you want me to show you my power?"

His voice was filled with madness, yet it was weak... as if he were on the verge of death.

He slowly raised his head, then turned toward the Sect Master. His gaze was... strange.

"What about you, Sect Master...?"

Then he looked at the elders, then at the disciples... then directly at Kyber.

"What about you... elders...?"

"What about you, Kyber...?"

His smile widened even more... but it wasn't natural!

Then... in a whisper-like voice, yet one that filled the entire arena, he said:

"Hahaha... It seems you will die today."

Kyber's eyes widened, but he couldn't move!

Elliot started laughing... but his laughter wasn't human!

It was the laughter of a mad creature!

"Hahahaha! It seems I've gone insane! Hahahaha!"

He repeated the words... his voice growing more terrifying!"It seems... I must kill... Hahahaha!"

"Kill... kill... kill... kill... kill...!!"

At that moment, all the disciples felt a shiver run down their spines!

One of them took a step back... another felt his legs could no longer hold him up!

Even the elders... some of them began sweating profusely!

The Sect Master?

He was smiling!

Then... something inexplicable happened!Elliot... slowly raised his hand.

Then, he spoke softly...

"Alright..."

"I will show you my power."

"Alright..."

"Watch closely... you weaklings!"

"Watch... what a weakling like me can do!"

"Watch... what a mere seventh-rank beginner disciple can accomplish...!"

Then...

He said it.

"—Vanish—"

The moment no one could comprehend!No one realized what had happened.

There was no sound.

There was no movement.

There was no warning.

Just...

BOOOOOOOM!!!

Kyber... collapsed to the ground!

Unconscious!

A deadly silence!Everyone stood frozen in place.

One of the disciples opened his mouth, but no words came out.

A powerful elder was about to stand, but he stopped halfway.

Even the Sect Master... his eyes gleamed with unprecedented interest!

"..."

No one spoke.

No one understood.

No one believed!

What... happened...?

How did Kyber fall...?

What did Elliot do...?

Kyber lay on the ground, unconscious.

Everyone... was in shock!

But Elliot?

Elliot was... still!

He didn't move.

He didn't speak a word.

Even his breathing had become unnatural.

Some disciples began whispering.

"Why isn't he moving?""Is he exhausted?""No... something's strange..."

The elders exchanged glances.

But the Sect Master?

He was smiling...!

Then... something unbelievable happened!—Ding!—

[Mission Completed!][Reward: Seventh-Rank Skill – Megas' Voice!]

At that moment...

His eyes widened.

He could no longer hear anything around him.

He could no longer see anything around him.

Everything froze.

Not out of fear... but out of shock!

"What?"

A system window appeared before him...

Then... he read the description.

[Megas' Voice]"You can kill anyone in the Spiritual World or the Primordial World... just by thinking about killing them."

"..."At that moment... Elliot felt something he had never felt in his life!

His pupils shrank... his eyelid twitched... sweat began pouring down his forehead!

"This skill... what...?"He wanted to make sure he hadn't read it wrong.

But the description was... crystal clear!

He could kill anyone just by thinking about it?!Was this... even possible?"..."

His thoughts clashed violently!

This wasn't a skill!

This wasn't an ability!

This wasn't something that should even exist!

It was simply... absolute power!

But... why did he receive it?

Why now?

How could he possess something like this?

He didn't know...

But he felt something strange...

Something he wasn't supposed to feel...

The feeling of power!

Everyone was looking at him!But they didn't know...

They didn't know what had appeared before him.

They didn't know what he was thinking.

=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-

=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Elliot didn't move.

He remained standing in the center of the arena.

Beside him... Kyber lay on the ground, unconscious.

Sweat was still pouring down his forehead... but not from exhaustion.

It was from something else.

Something... unnatural!

Then... he burst into laughter!"Hahahahahaha!"

He laughed maniacally!

He raised his head to the sky and spoke in a loud voice:

"Since the system granted me a seventh-rank skill just for completing this mission..."

He paused... then smirked mockingly, his eyes gleaming with madness.

"What if I challenge an elder?"

"Will the system reward me with something greater?"

The arena erupted!

The disciples were stunned!

Some of them started laughing.

"Has this disciple lost his mind?"

"He's just a mere seventh-rank beginner! How can he challenge an elder?!"

"This is pure madness!"

Some laughed.

Some mocked.

But others... felt an inexplicable fear.

Why?

Why wasn't there any fear on Elliot's face?

Why did he look... so confident?

Why wasn't he looking at them... but only at the Sect Master?

Then... a strange smile appeared on the Sect Master's face."Alright..."

"Who do you want to challenge?"

At that moment... Elliot slowly lifted his head.He stared directly at the Sect Master.

Then, he spoke clearly:

"I want to challenge a fifth-rank spiritual elder!"

"..."

Silence!

A terrifying silence covered the arena!

Then... mockery exploded!"Hahahahahaha! Is he an idiot?"

"A mere seventh-rank beginner wants to challenge a fifth-rank spiritual elder?!"

"This isn't arrogance... this is insanity!"

But... not everyone laughed.

Some of the stronger disciples didn't laugh.

Instead... they felt uneasy.

Why?

Why didn't Elliot show any fear?

Why did he seem... so certain?

Why wasn't he looking at anyone else... only the Sect Master?

Then... a mysterious gleam appeared in the Sect Master's eyes."Alright..."

"Your request... is accepted!"
