Fake Regressor Apocalypse

Ruins (3) - Dáinsleif

After finishing my preparations, I opened the iron gate and entered in.

Entering through the gate, What came in front of me was the Purple Fog that covered the whole area, and as soon as i inhaled it, my mind started getting dizzy.

[ Host is getting affected by the Mind's Fog. ]

[ Host is recommended to operate Mind Cleansing with mana Or Host will suffer from Hallucinations and Drowsiness ]

" System, Activate auto mind cleansing and continuously purify the Fog with mana "

[ Automatic Mind cleansing activated ]

Suddenly, I felt a warm current of mana washed over me and my mind got cleared.

The first thing i noticed was the same passage as before, but this one in front of me was split into three separate ways, Left, middle, and right respectively.

The restrictions on the sight were lifted here, but the purple fog was still obstructing my view a little, serving the same purpose as the restrictions in the previous passage and I could still only see for about 5-10 metres ahead with my night vision.

" System, mark the correct way to the core area according to the map in my memories "

This was the map that the Regressors had in his memories.

When the Regressors heard the story of this ruin in his previous life, he also saw the map of this maze which the Slayers found in a Room after wandering here for more than 2 days.

[ Route marked According to the map in the host's memory. ]

A faint thread of Red silk unfolded before my eyes, extending straight towards the depths of the foggy middle path in front of me.

This was the path, the slayers who came here, in the Regressors' memory walked.

Without them, it would be much harder for me to traverse through the fog. After all, if I didn't have a map, I would need to go around in circles over and over again to find and reach the actual core of the pyramid.

Of course, it was also possible that i would never find it.

However, I never even considered looking for a map or anything of the sort, that was too troublesome.

Since those Slayers worked so hard for me, wouldn't I, ( Noah Balckstorm ) be doing myself a disservice by not picking their fruits of labor?

'According to the path they took, the core of this pyramid should be deep underground. And if everything those Slayers said was true, then the [ Dáinsleif ] should also be there… '

This is a path that was specifically found for me! Those Slayers were such nice people... '

I couldn't help but chuckle. If those Slayers could know my thoughts at this moment, They would most certainly spurt blood from their mouth and wish to grind their bones into dust

.

.

.

Walking through the maze, I came across many monsters and beasts, but without the Mind Fog affecting me, I was able to easily kill them with my abilities.

If a Normal Slayer was to Cleanse himself from the mind Fog, they first needed to have the knowledge of the proper technique and then, they have to shift half of their attention and focus on maintaining the mind cleansing technique.

However, these all restrictions doesn't apply on me, as i had the system to do the hard work for me this time, and i was easily able to beat the Monsters that i came across, as they were of only rank E or E+.

.

.

Blood splattered around as I slashed a living golem in front of me in half, and then looked at the entrance of a nearby cave with a smile on my face.

Entering the cave i could see a straight passage going underground and the walls that contained murals, patterns, and paintings that recorded the events that transpired in the history.

" System, Scan the records and Descipher the content " I commanded the Sytem in my mind.

[ Scanning in process... ]

[ Analysing the Language with the System Data Bank ]

[ Would you like to transfer the results directly to your brain ? Y/N ]

" Yes "

I accepted the request and the Desciphered content was transferred directly in to my brain.

"This is a land created to seal something; not only does it contain great opportunities, but there are also great horrors that dwell within it!"

" The creator of this Ancient Dimension is the Great Emperor, with an extremely ancient origin dating back to immemorial times…"

' Immemorial Times ? Interesting.' Fiddling with my chin, i thought and an amusing smile crept upon my face.

The sword was said to be of king Högni in Viking Mythology, but this ruins origin dates back to the immemorial times. This was interesting, the more i found out the more interesting things were becoming, raising many questions in my mind.

.

.

" Let's think about it later "

I said to myself as i couldn't get any answers to my questions immediately.

Shaking my head, I removed all unnecessary thoughts before moving ahead.

Soon, I descended through the passage and arrived underground.

"The mana density here is getting stronger and stronger. According to the map, the core should be in the depths of this place, and the sword should also be in there…"

Arriving Down, i could see a Bronze gate covered with ancient engravings, that stood tall in front of me like a giant, blocking the way to the innermost area.

" System, Record everything in extreme detail "

[ Task Recieved. Recording through every senses and methods, activated! ]

Walking to the right side of the bronze gate, i shifted the head of a small eagle stone statue, that i knew was the mechanism to open the gates.

~Roar!

Soon, a huge noise rumbled around, and the bronze gate of the palace opened. At the same time, an Overwhelming wave of mana burst forth from the depths of the inner area, and I felt as if i was standing before a wild storm.

"Is this a Throne Room ?"

The sight in front of me shocked me

The place was a big Throne Room you could only see in Movies.

It looked like an ancient structure with all sorts of furniture, arts, ancient wooden sculptures, chandeliers above, and a big royal red carpet on the floor.

Focusing my mind, I swept my gaze across the hall. A light of satisfaction appeared in my eyes when my gaze landed on the [ Dáinsleif ]. It was the reason behind me coming to this Ruins, after all.

Once I obtained [ Dáinsleif ], I would have the strongest weapon in the world and another trump card to rely on in future, and especially for the time when i go to the academy,

~Sigh!

" Now, I wouldn't need to spend so much effort on schemes and underhanded means. " A sigh escaped from my lips thinking of the future.

The [ Dáinsleif ] is a good weapon that's only gathering dust in here. It's a weapon meant for slaughter, yet people sealed it here, away from the world, I can't help but feel some heartache over it's fate.

Looking towards the Sword, I didn't get anxious but i calmly started looking for the shortest route towards the sword.

I know that there was a last obstacle remaining in the hall, which was a single attack, capable of obliterating me in an instant.

And the only way for me to survive that, is the sword in front of me.

Memorising the shortest route towards the sword i took a deep breath, got ready and,

~Swish!!

I ran like Madman at the full speed my body could handle by even activating [ Velocity ] to its maximum.

~Boom!

As soon as i took the first step forward , A terrifying amount of mana surged in the palace, as if a savage beast had awakened, and violent rays of light burst out from the ground. These rays of light gathered in the air, and condensed into a ferocious sun, ready to obliterate me.

This was the final obstacle and the mightiest blow that i had faced till now, and even Slayers of Rank D wouldn't be able to survive after taking a hit.

A terrifying pressure that could shake one's very soul descended upon me, giving me a feeling of an ancient god looking down on me, but I completely ignored it and keep running.

~~Hum!

Suddenly!

An even stronger pressure descended upon me, and I wondered if it was the mana left behind by the creator of this Ruins before his death, or the might of the previous owner of [ Dáinsleif ]? Either way, I felt as if the pressure alone could obliterate me.

However,

"You are late…"

This all happened in the blink of an eyes and before the attack could even charge up and the pressure descends upon me, i was already in front of the Throne.

I glanced at the upcoming attack, and then pulled the [ Dáinsleif ] from the Throne with a bang. At the same time, I swung the Sword, and a pitch-black light surged through its body and condensed at its top.

An incredibly indescribable and turbulent might as vast as the ocean spread around from it, that dispelled all the pressure upon me.

Sure enough, the [ Dáinsleif ] wasn't hailed as the mightiest weapon since ancient times for nothing. It had the strengths of the other major weapons, while also being even more fierce and domineering then the others — it was an unparalleled weapon!

Without wasting any time, I slashed my palm and let my blood drip on the blade of the sword.

~Bzzzzz

The Sword trembled and the ferocious Mana coming out from it stirred my Heart, and I felt a deep connection to the sword.

" Finally "

[ Dáinsleif ] was finally now mine.

Shifting my gaze to the attack that was still getting charged up, I swung my sword [ Dáinsleif ] with full force and activated the first technique of my sword art.

//Formless Lightning (First Style) - Thunder Flash//

Taking the stance of raising my sword above my head, I guided my mana towards the sword according to the sword art.

My mana turned into blue Lightning that suddenly turned black as soon as it travelled from my body into the sword, which gave me a pleasant surprise.

A terrifying might erupted, and the void around me rumbled with the swing of my sword and a moon shaped arc of black lightning flew out of my sword.

The condensed blow of light and patterns that looked like a sun slammed towards me, but My Thunderflash collided with it first

~BOOOM!!!

and all the patterns and light vanished into thin smoke without a trace.
