[End Of Information]
I stared hard at my information and realized that I was royally screwed.
โWhat the hellโฆ shit!โ
What an unfortunate error I had made. Even after all the time I had used to restrain myself, after the great length I withheld myself several timesโฆ thanks to the bizarre occurrence that caught me off-guard I was now stuck with an Alignment I didnโt want.
โNeutral Evil, eh? Damnitโฆโ
It even has the โDepravedโ qualifier beside it.
Just as there was the โPenitentโ qualifier for people like Daniel, showing how much they had changed and the reasons for their switch, the โDepravedโ one signified oneโs descent into a more malevolent Alignment.
โI had this coming for a while, butโฆ I made sure to use the loopholes wellโฆโ
If it hadnโt been for Danielโs sudden attack, thenโฆ
โShit! How did he even show up in the first place?โ I growled and stomped the ground, causing it to quake.
For a moment, I totally forgot about the presence of Lily who was kneeling beside me. My brainwashing process hadnโt been finalized on her, so she just kept looking at me blanklyโin utter confusion.
At the moment, I was in no mood for attending to her.
โThat golden light that came from Danielโฆ I didnโt know he had any ability similar to that!โ My mind rang as I tried reasoning what the cause could have been.
I was aware of the three Skills that came with the โKnightโ Job he chose, and none of them actually resonated with the overpowering ability he had just displayed.
Not only did he completely resurrect, but his powers were also nothing like before, and if I didnโt have <Automatic Summon> on, there was no guarantee that I would even be alive at the moment.
Whatever abilities he displayed were too overpowered to be called a Skillโespecially when we were still in the beginning phase. Even Gifts werenโt as bizarre as this.
To have multiple overpowered phenomena occurring simultaneouslyโฆ that was unreasonable!
โPlus, what was with the feeling it gave meโฆ?โ
Something about the golden energy resonated with me. It felt so familiar, like I had seen it before. Other than the strange sense of affinity with the energy, it also commanded a great deal of fear and reverence from it.
I almost couldnโt even recognize that the one who was within the light was Daniel until he got so closeโeven though I had an extremely sharp vision.
My senses would have picked him up and registered him as Daniel, but the one I sensed on the penthouseโthe strange being that destroyed the Camp building and charged at meโฆ he only looked like Daniel and sounded like him.
To my senses, it was as if the resurrected boy had become a completely different being. Judging by the fear it commanded in me, and how the vague sense of powerlessness caused me to panicโฆ it was almost as of I was facing God himself!
โTchโฆ what the hell is happening? I have no idea!โ I growled again, stomping the ground harder and harder, causing the environment to take damage and shatter apart.
โA-arhโฆ y-youโre hurting meโฆโ A shrill voice came from the ground, and I sharply turned to see who spoke.
It was Lily.
She had snapped from her daze and was now staring at me expectantly and with a tinge of fear in her eyes. Apparently, my violent movements had somehow caused her a bit of hurt.
โAh, I seeโฆโ I murmured, moving close to her.
As my eyes watched her, I slowly began to calm down. The gentle expression she had, and the oblivious smile plastered on her face as she looked at me awkwardly melted all my anxietiesโwell, some of them.
โIโm sorry, Lily,โ I whispered, drawing closer to her.
โThatโs right. Thereโs no need to overthink thisโฆ Iโll figure this out as I goโฆโ My thoughts trailed as I caressed the girlโs cheeks with my hand, feeling the softness and smoothness of her skin.
No matter, I had already killed Daniel and gotten rid of my current adversaries. All that was left would be to secure a bit more (G) Karma Points to Level Up my [Subspace], see if I could find any more Grade 2 Boss Monsters, and gain more loot.
Yes, those would be my major goals for the moment.
However, for nowโฆ I could just relax a biโ
>BZZZZZZZTTTTTZZZZZZZZ<
>ZTTTTTZZZZZZTTZZZZZZ<
>WHUUUUUUUMMMMMMMM<
I suddenly heard glitches, as if a million bugs ran through an electrical device. My senses felt a great distortion in space, and I felt a heavy pressure, none as I had ever experienced before.
My body shivered, my heart beat faster than ever, and my eyes couldnโt even blink for the fear that I would open them anymore.
Saliva formed in my throat as I sensed the great anomaly occurring behind me. Even as I faced Lily, the bizarre ripple in space grabbed all my attention.
It felt like if I turned behind to look, I would instantly die! That was how powerful the presence behind me was!
โWhat is it? Is it Daniel? I killed him already, though!โ My mind rang in a panic.
No, this feeling was different from the golden light. It didnโt feel as familiar, but the oppressive feeling they both commanded was similar.
The light from earlier carried a more overwhelming force, but thisโฆ this feeling I currently had as whatever being who was behind me emerged was completely terrifying!
