Cherreads

Chapter 50 - Reward

Burst.

It is a rune that makes something burst apart, or boost

And for Zypher, who always uses his mind, this rune is worth learning for this fight.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Suddenly popping sounds can be heard inside the valley.

These popping sounds originated at the belly of Cerberus.

The fangs then started to be driven deeper inside the belly of Cerberus.

"ROAAAAR!"

It roared furiously, but it cannot do anything. Another round of small but many damages ran across it.

But, it didn't took long because the fangs disintegrated, due to Zypher's Gray Chain.

As the fangs disintegrated, Zypher sighed in relief.

Seeing this, the Cerberus was confused.

But then, it happened.

BOOOM!

The belly that was riddled with holes, exploded, and all of the blood inside went out of those mini holes.

Another set of explosions were heard, and the body of the Cerberus was sent into turmoil.

Bark, whimper and roar exchanged as the explosion inside the body was getting louder.

But, how did Zypher, a person with the Frozen Seal in place, have the energy to make a boss explode?

The explanation behind what happened was simple.

He did not use his own energy.

Zypher, knowing every single rune from his past life, had experimented about it a few times and discovered this set up.

There is a rune he always used, and it's name is Resonance.

Resonance is a rune that resonates with the energies within the body, or with anything.

In his past life, it is used to create fake items with fake mana signatures, and it was the biggest scam of his past life, until he found another use with it.

If an energy resonated, then it can use that energy without the player even using his own energy.

Then, he used it to a test.

Resonance, then he put an Energy Gathering Circle, then a Storage Magic Circle, and it worked.

The energy was resonated with, it was gathered by the gathering circle, then it was stored.

Seeing this, Zypher decided to be bold, and added another rune, which is a Form rune in place of the Storage Circle, and it created the form Zypher wanted it to take.

This created a eureka moment for Zypher, that made him use it to automate many things.

But, the sudden discovery happened as he was playing with his first prototype.

The Resonance - Gather - Store one.

It was steadily eating energy in a the spot it was stored, so it has more energy inside itself.

Then, something happened that surprised him.

It overloaded, and exploded in his face.

Although it was not a big explosion, this made him see the potential.

So, he added some more circles inside, namely Amplification and Multiplication.

Amplification is a percentage growth, while Multiplication is repeated growth of the energies.

And, that's not all.

He then designed a Pseudo-Storage Circle.

It can store five times the Storage, but it bursts out when it is filled, and the explosion is also five times stronger.

But that's not all.

He added the final touch to it.

The inferrence made was - what if, the overflowing energy, has an outlet?

And that's where he worked - he added the final circle - Chaos Rune.

This Rune becomes elemental attacks when there is energy for it to combust.

This combustion creates a powerful explosion. When Zypher tested it in his past life, one was enough to wipe out a platoon of enemies.

This was one of the main reasons why they made it up to the Fifth Great Guild, but was taken down by the other four.

But now, Zypher hasn't unlocked the Chaos Rune, but what he has, is the natural body of the Cerberus.

The heads panicked as they couldn't take anything to help themselves, and was just left dying.

As the explosions continued, it drowned out the sound of their whimpers and barks.

Until it all died down.

Seeing this, Zypher sat on the ground.

Seeing his bloody hands and body, he can't help but be amazed at himself.

A week ago, he is still a baby, crawling down every time something happened, but now, he is a fully grown man, and wings will sprout behind his back if he just do more things.

As he was ready to get the loot, a low bark can be heard from across the smoke and dust that was creating a visual screen so he did not notice.

"WEAK POINT!"

Suddenly, spots of weak points appeared behind the curtain of smoke.

"What?*

This were the first words Zypher said, and he was so shocked that when the smoke came cleared, he saw an army of the trio.

Hyena, Hounds and Foxes all came rushing to him, all of them has a crystal above their heads, and they were rushing towards Zypher.

"Those guys! They didn't tell me about this!"

As he said that, he started wielding his two fangs.

He decided to start slaughtering these dogs or whatever they may be.

In his mind, was chaos.

Because, he knows that his friends from his past life won't hide something like this from him.

Or, they hid it because it's totally embarrassing to say.

Or, they hid it because they want him to be challenged when one day, he will enter the Knights Exam.

"Those guys must be laughing at me from the other life."

He said as he brandished the fangs, stabbing every enemy that comes to him.

[Congratulations! You have stabbed 10,000 times. You have obtained a Skill.]

[Skill - Stab.]

- a high-speed stab.

3 Second Cooldown.

Zypher smiled as he saw the panel.

"Way to go! So simple."

He had already stabbed ten thousand times, from yesterday, until today.

And what's making him rush, was because it was already morning, and he hasn't got what he needed.

He was delayed so far, that his schedules has been mixed up.

But, he won't let it be chaotic more than this.

He opened his hands to let go of the fangs, and once he did, his hair started turning white.
