As soon as I thought those words towards Justice, the sword began glowing brightly.I unsheathed it and many new messages appeared on my status menu.{Manual class change activated by: 'Justice'. Arcane Executioner > Arcane Fencer(T)}{New skill(s) gained: J.Justice Strike LV.EX, J.Punishing Stab LV.EX, J.Blood Price LV.EX, J.Judgement Thrust LV.EX, J.Righteous Execution LV.EX.}{New abilities gained: Justice Form Two: Chain Weapon, Justice Form Three: Guillotine.}"Iris, you might want to step back..." I said.Isabella and Iris both watched in awe as I read the runes on Justice."JUSTICE, HEAR MY CALL! HE THAT JUDGES THINE ENEMY IS THE JUST ONE!!!"There was an powerful burst of magic as the runes glowed bright crimson and my arms were covered in spiked chains.Interestingly enough, they weren't causing me any harm.But I knew what these chains were capable of. I decided not to activate Guillotine right now as I had no idea what that would do. At the same time, I dispersed the chain

As we sat down outside the training facility deep underground, I toyed with my status menu and immersed myself in meditation.I wanted to make the status menu more efficient while also seeing what types of spells I could use right now.First, I gave myself infinite skill points.Then I realized I didn't need to do that and didn't bother fixing it.After that, I checked the skill activation system.I modified it so that I didn't have to shout out skill names anymore. Although, there was a setting rooted to the base of the entire system that increased their power by a fair margin if I shouted the skill name.I decided that I would continue to call out skill names for now. At least until I figured out how to modify it. If I had to kill someone without people noticing, this would be a huge help.I also didn't bother tampering with Isabella's status menu until I had perfected mine.She was completely okay with this and instead, spent her time trying out new ways to make barriers.The Archm

"Excuse me?" I said."Yeah, you two are taking a vacation to Nexus soon. Should be fun!" Michael said."Isn't that incredibly dangerous?" Isabella said."Of course it is! But you two are more than capable of handling anything they throw at you. Although, I haven't said everything yet.""Then please continue, Michael," Isabella said."So here's the deal, last time Iris went over there, Novak told her that if she showed up again they would kill her. Normally, that's a hollow threat, but... They actually have the power to do that now using the Abyss Engine.""Again with that thing?" I said."The Abyss Engine neutralizes her power as a goddess and renders her vulnerable. If Iris dies, the Enforcers go with her. Except you two, that is. You two aren't sustained by her power. The divine energy sustaining you comes from somewhere else. All Iris did was activate it within you and manifest your Aspects.""Very well then, tell us the plan," Isabella said. "The entire region of Nexus has been o

The next day we began settling into a new routine.We had to practice our abilities, so Rune offered to spar with us.She was extremely efficient in battle and held the Advanced Aspect of Telekinesis.Although being an Attendant meant she only had one Aspect and its power wasn't very high. Nonetheless, she used it well as a means of assassination with the many small throwing knives she held.She was incapable of hitting me, though. I even allowed her to utilize actual firearms...with some convincing, of course.Rune also learned of the futility of conventional weapons against Isabella's barriers.Her personal defense wasn't quite as immense as it would have been with Bravery, but it was still very high with the combination of Honor and The Centurion. Actually, it was still higher than when she had Bravery in the past.At some point, Rune accepted that she wouldn't be able to scratch us and went all out.It was also important for us to know that she could be trusted to help on the fiel

The first thing I noticed upon reaching solid ground after teleporting, was how much magical power it actually used.Teleporting myself was one thing, even mildly long distances.But more than one person? I would need to think carefully before trying this again because I felt exhausted for a few minutes after we landed.Alice put her hands on my arm and looked at me. I couldn't see her face due to the mask, but I knew she was worried."Are you okay, Tyranus?" She asked quietly."I'm...fine... Let's just get moving."There weren't any living people around, but we remained invisible and kept our masks on. Once we reached the fence, I reluctantly teleported us a short distance to the other side and we ran into the forest.Alice made sure to restore my strength so that we could escape."What's the plan, now?" Alice asked."Well, we need to get to the capital. So let's go to the nearest city and see if we can get on a plane.""Understood."* * *After that, we spent the next few days trav
