The four handed Astral knight saw Johan grabbing his lower leg shaft armour, and disintegrating into small molecules. The whole atmosphere shifted, marking the change in the cold pressured air as Johan used [the Atomix skill].
The knight bent and pulled his body upward and threw him straight in the direction of the golden throne. The gate with the rings of gold pattern behind him glowed as Johan bleeded. The iron gate glowed randomly, it looked more like it has synced with the heart of Johan Anderson.
Glow,..glow
Johan's head was in rooping position, his face filled with blood stain, just because of the grip of the knight!
The knight fainted towards him, the time froze for a second, everything stopped, the blood dripped, the running knight, the sparks of fire that came under the foot of the Astral knight, the glow from his armour, everything just froze for a second
Ding!
[The sympathy has been provided for the Gocher]
[The Great ones are doubting you]
[They are asking your will]
[Are you willing to quit?]
[Yes/no]??
Huff,huff,huff..
His eyes were in a half closed state, he thought of reasons he could come up in order to quit.
I have born as a weak, lost my parents in a very young age. The world has offered me nothing. I had no choice back then. This dried heart has once gained the joyful beat again, I created Becker Company..Johan's eyes turned moist as he spoke, my new world was shattered and I don't think this system will help me to go back to earth. I am in a place of nowhere. I have no knowledge about this world. I lost my only brother like friend, my close friends, i can't face others anymore, I have no choice in this universe and yet...there is one before my eyes.
"[Yes]"
"..." The time resumed
Flick!
Johan moved his head to left as the knight tried to punch through his head. It suddenly used its left lower hand to give a upper punch. Johan used his right hand and suddenly,
Bam!
The Astral knight armor shifted to his hand like symbiote moving to the host with the best lifelike transition. The molecules burst and combined in his hand forming a perfect fabric with consistent pattern and the strength of the arm armour of the knight to his right hand.
Ding!
[You have used the The Atomix skill]
[The temporary acess to the fragment of knowledge(FOK) expired]
[You lost the title temporarily: the Molder]

.....
Under a dark cave like area,
Wearing a old gold rimmed monocle in his right eye and sitting In a wooden chair, a man with some visible wrinkles near his eyes saw a man with heavily armored with metal plates that looks like it came old Japanese shogun era. Even though the armor on his body is light, he wore only normal plarts along with sword sheath.
The half samurai like young man had neatly combed hair, he looked more like a European less Japanese, speaking in terms of "arthe planet", he looked more like Cequean less Pomyuse.
He heaved to pull out the 5 huge sack bag from ground and placed them on the big cashier-using wooden desk infront of the monocle wearing man. "Mr.Eye, this is the new result of our crew's hunt at the Tis woods. They got the heart of Mijuan for your Organization. I know that you only take what's on the bounty board and not more than that. Don't you think, it's a bit stupid of Rijan Order. The name itself holds legacy. But...the infrastructure and behaviour towards non-Rijan order members who are mutually co-operating is like acting bit cheap."
"It's all the new Deacon's decision. Nowadays they are not sane. They planning something, I don't where this will go but he is going to bring some change that we didn't witness past these years. All I wish is the growth of Rijan Order, the bounty is pounds for the hearts of Mijuan you brought.Young man, you have grown much compared to past months. You know much now, But Tortuga you should still work on gaining more efficient and versatile equipments. Just saying, I don't know about your budget and your responsibilities.Better the equipment and thr weapons, better the hunt, better the safety" Mr.Eye cared for Tortuga and stayed calm during whole speech.
"Hmm..well next time. Captain Hilchmen said that he will reward us for the performance at the latest hunt, I will inform you once I got my reward" Tortuga who has just undergone exploring the ruins near the tomb at Tis woods explained the part he played during the exploration and about a mysterious symbol that resonated with him. He included that he touched the symbol and it went normal...
"Anyway did you chance upon any artifacts you took secretly,?even keeping that from your crew members, its okay. We are looking artifacts and relics here at Rijan Order. Tortuga, you can bring that sorta things anytime." Mr.Eye wanted to ensure if he still wants to sell something to him.
"No Sir, I didn't encounter such things, Captain took all the relics in a safe case. Then, how much does that goes for?"
"Hmm.."
"100 rupas(1 pound) for damaged heart 200 rupas(2 pounds) for undamaged heart, further calculating.... it's 200 pounds, and my commission 15 pounds, subtracting that,..it's 185 pounds for you."
Mr. Eye took the money bills from the suitcase in the drawer under the table. And registered the amount of money in a note. Then he took a black pouch with rope on it to tighten it or loosen it, and putted the money into it.
"Here, take it"
"Thank you, Mr.Eye, I will take your advice seriously and act accordingly"
....
After 40 minutes,
After leaving the dark space, "I actually got a mirror but..I don't wanna reveal that to anyone, it's only a small piece of face mirror after all,...but I don't what use It has for me." Tortuga Berg mumbled his inner thoughts after he came out. He decided to go to the inn at the outskirts of western Ceque Kingdom and take a good shower. He wanted to greet his friend at the Moshey City just near the Silverian city, actually a south part of it.
.....
At the hall of clanging sound,
Clang,clang,
Johan put forward his life on the line and fought the four handed knight bravely. He used and remembered all his martial techniques, skills that he learned during his experience to fight the knight. He used his right hand continuously to doge and block the knight's incoming attacks.
Woosh!
Dodge. Johan moved his hips and legs very cautiously to escape from the Knight's punches. The knight didn't use all its hand to fight but it always placed the hand in a fighting pose behind it. But the potential of using the two hands itself is traumatizing to him.
Bam! Dum!
A punch straight to the stomach,
"Again?", cough
Cough
[You are trying override the system]
[Refrain yourself from using the Molder's powers]
"Now, this system is fearing! I am constantly thinking about transferring the armor particles in hand to my low torso, I think it caught that, which means I have the innate potential to use this powers. It's just locked in me"
[You have succeeded in overriding the sytem by your will]
[The Gochers of the Universe are amazed by your resilience]
[Restarting the system in few minutes]
[Dimensional Laws will be applied soon]
The golden sentences floated in air, Johan had not cared about the messages that popped. The particles broke from his arm transferring itself to his torso. A punch with armour-less arm. The arms bled with violet blood as the arm shattered when Johan modified his torso armour to a sudden spike.
Blood gushed out of the Astral knight's arm.
"How can you still use your powers..that's impossible, you are supposed to be powerless and beaten in the worst way possible, that's the script here"
With blood stained face, bleeding body, Johan opened his mouth.
"That's not happening today, cockroach!"
"Cockroach?!!" Mesich yelled.
[SYSTEM restarted, the Molder's powers are locked]
[Mesich, the astral knight had gone Saint mode]
[Caution required]
[Anomaly has appeared in your trial]
[Defeat the Tomb boss to pass the second trial]
