A lot has occurred throughout the short span of time for Anabella. Battles that were far more cinematic than any movie that she has ever seen, or heard off. The instant death of thousands of repulsive zombies beyond the grace of God. The various dances between life and death that she experienced. The helplessness brought out by absolute fear and dread. The introduction of the high and mighty novaks, who were now nothing but background characters because of Jason's presence. Technology far beyond humanity and its future aspirations. A lot, to be honest. And she, herself, believed that this was all just the beginning. More were still to come, just like the creature standing before the barrier. 'What is that..? A monster? A demon?' She thought, subconsciously clutching Bella's Charm tighter. The last time she met a demon, was when she almost died, for the nth time in a single day. And she dreaded the possibility of this creature being a demon as well. The creature was just strange. B
Bang~!! Anabella let loose another bullet, and it tore through the air, leaving behind a trail of flames and flew straight towards the demonic creature at lightning speed. The creature froze, and hurriedly canceled its ability, avoiding the bullet instead. Yet to its dismay, those actions, gave fenrir a couple of seconds to cover the distance between them. "Yiiiii...Yi, yi yi, yiii..!!" The demonic creature panicked, and cried out to its brethren lying down on the floor half dead, who failed to respond due to its condition. At the same time, it created another fissure before fenrir, only for fenrir to fluently avoid it with expertise. Bang~!! At the same time, another bullet flew through the air, immediately forcing the demon to hurriedly avoid it instead of retaliating once more. It was completely trapped within a state of panic, and fear, cornered like a rat. "YIIII..!!" And thus it cried out instinctively, an attempt to show fenrir that it was a threat as well. And attempt to
Yet Anabella remained silent. Her hands on the magic gun slightly trembled as she set her eyes on the target. On the creature desperately hugging the corpse of its brethren for any hint of warmth, of comfort, still prevelant within. "..." She watched in silence, her heart sinking even deeper into her stomach. She grit her teeth and raised the magic gun to aim, yet could not find the courage to pull the trigger. No matter how much she convinced herself, she did not have enough strength to pull it off. Her aim was also quite unstable, as her body continously trembled. Her shot, would probably miss by a large margin. 'Is this... the right thing to do..?' She thought, her determination wavering. They were indeed monsters, true, but wouldn't she be a similar monster were she to release the trigger? Her heart wavered along her determination. Is this... what I truly want? Her thoughts began biting back at her. Her determination, her resolution, her desire, they all bit back at her. Bea
"Huh..? No, I mean, uh, Thank you!!" Anabella, though greatly shocked, was still joyful at being praised. And the praise wasn't even the most important, the meaning behind it was. 'I managed to be of help.' She thought. "Anyway, it's time to leave. So anyone, aside from Beatrice and number two, should gather around me." Jason said, "There's a place I want to take us to. I've finally found the coordinates of a place we can hide at." He added. 「What..?」 "There's a place I want to take us to. I've finally found the coordinates of a place we can hide at." Jason uncharacteristically repeated himself, his words startling everyone else within the barrier to silence. Salvation aside, why did Beatrice and number two remain behind? That was the question everyone else had in mind. And taking into consideration his love for her, it made it all the more doubtful. Even Joe had to agree. "I don't understand the reason as to why you would leave behind Beatrice? I would understand if it was anyon
「He said you have to activate your barrier as fast as possible. Maybe right about now?!」 Number two exclaimed out in shock at the last sentence, as the gigantic entity forcefully stomped its foot down, creating a powerful shockwave that swept everything within a certain limit of altitude. The hills, the mountains, and even themselves, they were all swept from the ground and sent flying into the skies. 'Such... such power?! Have they grown up to this extent?!' Number two thought in shock. At the same time, Jason appeared within the air, and hurriedly caught the both of them, gliding through the force of the shockwave to travel further away from the hoarde. Meanwhile, the duplicate he sent out to collect the talents of both demonic creatures, immediately activated the "Demon Slayer No.1" artifact. It activated both the remaining two uses, and let the shockwave sweep both itself, and the artifact, away. 'The suicidal game... just began.' It thought, before dissipating. ~~~ Meanwhil
Silence pervaded throughout the ancient forest, as one man, a young human, had immobilized almost a hundred combatants with a single move. He did so, so effortlessly, every one disarmed was left shocked and fearful. Not only them, even the other humans froze in stupor at Jason's actions. They didn't expect his anger to spread out towards every novak within range. But it had nothing to do with them, thus they watched in silence. 「...Young human, what is the meaning of this? What is it that you're trying to do?」 The lieutenant commander let out a weary tone of caution. Yet unlike he others, he was not fearful. Even if he died today, they deserved it. He deserved it for raising such incompetent subordinates. Thus he was also at fault. "Jason..." Joe also called out, yet not saying anything. He wouldn't want the boy he was raising to become a cold blooded killer. But if such a path was taken, he also wouldn't say anything to stop him. Every person had to make their own choices, and
To hell with his games. The one left behind was the duplicate, which also used Force Effect to stabilize itself against the strong shockwave from the foot stomp. '...This is going to hurt.' It thought, taking out a small bottle containing ten pills within. Jason's command were to test the abilities of this son of a god, and see to what extent their threat was. Even if it knew that it would lose, it still chose to fight back, because it had the resources to. [ God Pills ] (Blessed) [ Rank: 14 ] [ Function: For short duration of two hundred and eighty seconds, a single pill can increase the stats of a person by 280% (The higher the Rank of the pill taker, the more pills their body can consume per session. Duration also stacks, the more pills taken) ] These God Pills could previously increase 2,8% stats for twenty eight seconds. But thanks to [Blessing of Fire], their effects were increased by ten times. And with its current Rank, the duplicate could take in nine god pills, but si
Unfortunately for Jason, and the duplicate, the damage output was indeed obscenely powerful. So much that indeed, weaker gods would fail to respond to protect themselves. But they failed to take into consideration the required time for the domain warp to take place. And however little the time was, it was enough for the stella nightmare to grab the duplicate's corpse by its collars, and powerfully yanked it towards the sky, with all the force it could call forth within its body. "..." The duplicate's corpse flew through the air at insane speed, cutting through space and instantly arriving outside the influence of the world of stella. And here, one could see clouds that stretched over vast distances. Clouds that stretched out for Infinite distances, with multiple worlds similar to the one that the novaks reside within, anchored on them. Some large, some small, some above, some below, some on the sides. Countless worlds were anchored and connected by the endless clouds that stretch
