Finality Arm

The skintight aura dissolved, and Nux immediately collapsed to his knees while breathing haggardly. He had been running on sheer will power and adrenaline since he ran out of Mana. And though he had regained some of his Mana, he had used it up immediately to stamp Runes on the floor, and make Darius fall for his trap.

The fight, albeit shorter than the one he had with Gregory, was harder. He had run out of Mana since the beginning of the fight therefore taking a hit on his stamina, and if he hadn't been helped by his Beast Soul, he would have lost.

'What was that aura by the way?' Nux asked himself.

Darius, still frozen in the same position, looked down and saw blood dripping from his forearm.

"How?" He asked in disbelief.

"Just treachery taken to the next level." Teacher Joseph said loudly, hands akimbo, and a bright smile on his face. "He has won the battle since, and was just waiting for blood to eventually come out of your injury."

Darius lowered his arm with a deep frown writ

    The name was successfully changed, and Nux immediately moved on to the next thing on his mind. World Runes.'Teacher Joseph speculated that the Gauntlet has a Sharpness Enchantment, making it's cutting power unholily sharp.''It was so sharp I was able to injure Darius without actually touching him.' Nux thought, still not completely believing that was possible. He still seemed to be underestimating the strength of the Arm Of Finality.He stared at the Arm Of Finality with Rune Sight activated, and all sorts of colours reflected in his irises, making him see some odd Runes that he had never seen before.There was a Red Rune that looked like liquid which flowed smoothly and calmly, but exuded great danger. The Rune was positioned at the claws of the gauntlet, and at the sharp elbow point, two damage dealing points. Also there were Inscriptions, consisting of Brown and dark Pink Runes, within each hole at the back of the hand. Other types of Runes of various elements floated around the

    Nux didn't stop when he heard those words, instead he seemed to pick up speed and buy the Spells faster.One table... three tables... ten tables, in just fifteen seconds.'Shouldn't they be here by now.' Nux thought, turning around, and for the first time since he started purchasing Spells, he stopped."So I'm not the thief." He subconsciously muttered. He didn't dilly dally for a second more and resumed action immediately.'But who was that though?' He thought to himself.The few seconds he had used to look back and check out what was going on was enough for him to picture everything.He could see a small sized female student struggling in the hold of two senior male students. The girl was so small she barely had any impact when she kicked around and tried to free herself. Her long black hair had blades at the their tips, her lips were black and thick, and she had several ring piercings on her face along with black bags under her eyes. Adding all this features along with her tight,

    "I need to learn Crafting." Nux said out loud. He wasn't just purchasing the Quills and Inkwells for no reason, he planned on becoming a forger so he could make is own Armors and equipments anyway. This Fans Gregory used plus his own Arm Of Finality, had made him want to learn more about Enchanted Equipments. If he could create something similar to his Arm Of Finality, then his strength would increase by a huge margin. "There should be a place like that here." Nux said. "Teacher Clark hasn't progressed to that level with us yet, and I doubt he'll make an exception for me to teach me more about Inscriptions and Enchantments."Nux stared at the jungle below him and the paths with a few students walking in it. "Or I can just learn it myself." He thought. "But that would take too much time, I don't know where to start from even."Nova soon began to descend, throwing Nux out of his thoughts. Everywhere was still dark, so visibility wasn't very good, and as soon as Nux landed in the cle

    'He died.' Nux thought. 'He died... just like that... because of what?' Nux closed his eyes, breathing deeply, and by the time he opened it, there was a spark in his eyes that betrayed fear and horror. The first day he reincarnated into this world, one of the first things he saw were dead bodies, the bodies of warriors who had been killed because they were doing their job. Even the body he resided in wasn't spared and was killed, an eighteen years old. Nux had come to know that people in this world were scums, once they had an ounce of strength to back themselves up. And true, most had the right to be cocky, they must have been through a lot to gain their strength, so if someone went against them and insulted their pride, it was okay to get a bit angry. But what he didn't like was for those with power to pick in the weak just for the fun of it. He hated those bastards! The expression on the students rotten face was was wiped away, and no one would be able to guage what was on h

    Nux's head snapped in the direction of the room where the twins were, and he could still see them staring at the gauntlet in his arms with furrowed brows. 'I've taken care of the Beast, so what next?' Nux thought warily. 'I definitely can't fight Krad, and if there are two of him, I don't think I stand a chance.''I need to escape!' Nux stared at the dome, searching for a weak point he could exploit. The dome had Whitish Runes on it, and Nux had a vague feeling that he wouldn't be able to break out of it easily. Still, he moved towards it with the Arm Of Finality raised."There's no need to worry about anything, you've just defeated the Beast and would be let out now." Krad's voice drifted into Nux's ears. Nux speedily turned around and shot Krad a serious stare. "What do you want?" Nux asked, wondering how Krad had gotten in there with him. "..." Krad stared with a confused look on his face. "What.. do you mean by that?..."Nux stayed silent, observing Krad's every movement wit

    Nux watched the two beasts duke it out, going full throttle from the start. He was still baffled about the Ability to bring out ones Beast Soul and was thinking about all the possibilities with that Ability, so he didn't even notice when the Beast's eventually stopped fighting. The next fights were epic and destructive, with the dome covering the stage cracking sometimes, though withstanding the pummeling it received and recovering itself. Nux saw several types of Beast Souls going at it with full power, and he was able to witness some crazy powers being displayed. A Beast Soul that looked like the beautiful image of a woman with wings, showed it's crazy Ability to control shockwaves. At first Nux thought it was damage reversal, but when he saw that it's injuries weren't being transfers over to its opponents, he scratched that idea. He thought it was sound too, but he later came to realise that it was controlling shockwaves! This Ability, no matter how crazy it sounded, was a

    Whispers and mummurs spread quickly, and information was diseminated at a shocking speed. "King's Decree!" A student exclaimed. "That's the Spell taught by Teacher Jessie and Tony. "Oh, you mean that powerful Spell that lets you control things with words!" "Yes that one." "They said those are the classes most of the new students are in, and I also heard most of them have been in those two classes for almost a week now, learning all they can." "It's normal actually, that Spell is very hard to learn and takes time. And if it wasn't for the Teachers not allowing the students to get a copy of the spell, everyone would have had one and would be studying it constantly." "It took me two years to learn Beggar's Plea!" "Sigh! At least you learnt something, I never got shit from the spell even though I studied it for two years too." "Haha! I remember when we too slept in the Class for a whole month as freshers, trying to learn the Spell to no avail." A student who looked to be drunk an

    The loud shout of the hooded individual quickly brought attention to them, and Nux found himself in an open circle with the hooded individual, surrounded by the students. "ACCEPT MY CHALLENGE AND FIG...""Shut up. I accept your stupid fight so can you quit ranting like a retard." Nux interrupted with a bored look. "And that's a new match up!!" The announcer's voice echoed in the arena, and the students once again began another round of cheering. The hooded individual, though, was gritting his teeth hard and clenching his fists. 'You will pay dearly. First you humiliate me and ruin my looks, and now you humiliate me even more!'"Both contestants should please proceed towards the Duel Post to get the stakes written down and signed officially.""And while that's being done, the next match between Happy Harpy and Silent Siren would begin!..." Meanwhile, Nux was staring a piece of paper with the stakes and rules written on it.His opponent, who he knew was Gregory, had signed it, and i

    Nux could see several Red/Black Runes floating around the his right arm. They moved in accordance to his arms movement, as if they were attached to it in someway. It should be known that Nux and the Shark King were both standing with their hands raised up. One was pushing and the other was pulling, and because of this, Nux hadn't seen his arm in time and didn't notice those Runes until now. 'Those are definitely Flames, I'm sure of it!' Nux claimed. 'But what Variant are they?'Nux's mind spun, and his thoughts flowed from one point to another. He thought back to how he had gotten the Arm Of Finality to actually be his arm. Natalie had explained to him that his body was filled with a red fog, and was deconstructed, before being rebuilt. He thought back to how his shirts were destroyed when he tried to put them on, and he thought back to the Apostle of Destruction's rusty Red armor. 'Are they perhaps, Variant Destruction/Fire Runes?' As soon as Nux had this thoughts, the Runes arou

    Nux slid between the Shark King's leg and popped back up to his feets, then he turned around and kicked at the spot behind it's knees with force. Though it might be heavy, sturdy and incredibly strong, weakness were still weakness. The Shark King, the name Nux had decided to call it, buckled from the kick and almost went on its knees, but before that happened, it straightened itself back up like a spring, and smashed the ground behind it's body with it's tailNux weaved out of the way and punched at its knees again, aiming for the same leg. This process repeated itself until Nux felt that his plan was ready. The creature, in it's rage, spat out flames again, and this time, Nux let it hit him. The Shark King seeing Nux fall to his knees got more confident, and it's took heavy steps forward, making sure Nux was at the hottest parts of the flame. 'A little more...' Nux thought, waiting for the Shark King to get closer. Nux's Fire Immunity was passive, so he couldn't turn it off...

    Shark King

    The Shark Queen glowed brightly as the Red and Gold rocks entered her body. The light turned so blinding Nux had to squint his eyes. The phenomenon occuring was one he hadn't seen before, and he therefore didn't know if it was dangerous or not. He considered retreating and reporting his sightings to Master Joe, but something in his mind was telling him to stay, and so he did. The Shark Queen let out a loud noises one last time and suddenly exploded. The explosion wasn't destructive, and the shockwaves, flames and rocks that shot out did little to no damage.Nux stood all through the explosion, only his pants and long black hair ruffling while he stood unmoving. When the explosion was almost over, all the particles, rocks, flames and whatnot that were pushed back by the explosion suddenly paused midair, as if time was stopped, and they began to flow in reverse, going back towards the origin of the explosion.Now Nux was truly intrigued. The fire first condensed to form a humanoid f

    Nux stayed shocked for just a second before he acted out, punching out and shooting flames around. The Orange flames lighted up the cave for a second, and he was able to see around, giving Nux a vague idea of where he was. He wasn't a hundred percent sure, but he wasn't in the Beast's belly yet, and he also wasn't in it's mouth. He didn't understand how that was, but all Beasts came with their own unique mutations, quirks and mind-blowing Abilities. Nux, after falling for some seconds, finally landed on a soft squishy part. Goosebumps erupted over his skin as his phobia for soft, wet and squishy things came up. He reigned in the urge to step away from the place he stood on and clenched his fists. His arms lit up with Orange flames, and he raised them up, pointing it around and looking for a clue that could help him escape from the place he was easily, without blowing the Beast up. He noticed, after a while of searching, that the ground was pulsating, further agitating his phobia.

    Burn

    Nux knew that he wasn't fast enough, and the terrain wasn't to his advantage. His opponents were aerial too, further worsening the situation. "Doesn't mean I'll loose though." He acknowledged. He came to a grinding halt and turned around in one smooth motion, he faced his palms towards each other and placed them by his side, close to his hip. Fire began to charge in between them, and as the birds got closer, he compressed the flames that had gathered and threw his palms out, unleashing a beam right at them. Large swathes of them dropped to the ground, dead, but a large number of them remained. Nux didn't slow down after that first move and immediately attacked again. His punched out, and a short burst of flame went out and killed some birds again. The birds were weak individually, and their strength lied in their large Numbers, so each burst of flame took out at least two to three birds. Some seconds later, Nux realised that his efficiency was lacking, and his Mana was draining

    "Now that you've successfully learnt the Spell, I want you to perfect it and be able to apply in battle, so keep casting the Spell until you run out of Mana. In the meantime... Natalie come out!" Master Joe called out. It took a few seconds, but Natalie finally came out shyly, her head lowered, and her hand behind her back. She had been hiding there for quite some time now, and she had been spotted by Master Joe. "Your training would begin now, and I want you to give your all." Master Joe said and went ahead to begin teaching Nux and Natalie from that day onward. Nux was taught some of the Spells he had purchased from the Limitless Sea Academy together with Crazed Arrows, the Spell he had won from Gregory. He was also taught some Techniques that could be used in hand to hand combat, and he easily learnt them.Nux didn't slack off for a second. Though this period was supposed to be a time for him to rest, he didn't neglect his training either. And so time passed, and Nux was able t

    "Rising Pillar seems like a really good start for your training." Master Joe said, a toothy grin appearing on his face. Nux knew this was trouble, he had been with Master Joe long enough to know when he was up to something. "Lets start with the basic." He jumped to his feets and dragged Nux outside. They moved through the small town they were in, left through the gates and entered the forest ahead. There they found an open area they could stay in and began their training. Aegis hovered fifty meters above their heads and began to spin on his axis, generating Mana in the process and forming a dome that covered the surrounding hundred meters."Rising Pillar is quite a simple Spell to be honest, and the aim of the Spell is to create a pillar of fire beneath your target. But first..."Master Joe went ahead and performed a movement sequence, then he suddenly stomped his foot on the ground, and out of the ground, five meters away from him, a pillar of Blue and Green energy rose up, shovin

    Nux and Natalie traveled together with Master Joe, as Nux was forced to call him. Their journey was purposely made long and smooth, perhaps by Master Joe's will, or for another reason. Either way, Nux enjoyed it. They made some stops at Inns and Taverns to eat and clean themselves up, and this routine seemed to calm Nux's mind. It felt just like a holiday break, giving him the necessary rest he didn't know he needed. It wasn't up to a month since he joined the Limitless Sea Academy, hoping that he would learn a lot before leaving for the Heavenly Brutes Academy. But he ended up not learning exactly what he wanted and instead had to deal with annoying people most of the time, Nobles to be precise. He had learnt a little bit of Inscriptions and Enchantment, and he had a Quill and Inkwell, but... he hadn't had time to learn Inscribing itself, all he knew how to do was control Runes he had affinity for, and stamp them, which was very dangerous. He had missed most of the classes, not i

    Nux spotted Natalie and walked over. He placed a hand on her shoulders and flashed her a brilliant smile."Are you okay?" Nux asked. She hesitated for a moment before finally nodding her head. Nux's smile widened and he proceeded to ask her what really happened while he was passed out. Natalie told how Teacher Joseph had come in and saved him, defeated the Apostle of Destruction easily while protecting him at the same time. Nux was surprised by what he heard, and he felt that something wasn't right."You said he saw you right, but he didn't say anything to you?" Nux asked. "Yes.""That's strange, does he not know?" Nux soliloquized. He didn't think for long and turned back to Natalie with a serious expression on his face. "You know you can't stay here anymore right?""Yes, and that's why she'll be going with you." Nux and Natalie looked up, and they found Teacher Joseph hovering right above them. "I assume you're ready to leave at this moment, No?" Teacher Joseph asked, going s
