Whimpers are heard in the said valley.
Three million canines are being killed again and again, and this sight can be seen as a carnage.
The basin, which is the lowest part of the valley, is now having blood that is ankle deep.
And is still rising because of the dead bodies being strewn upon the floor.
And what made the place better were the items that were floated above the blood.
SPLASH!
A single footstep sent waves to the blood and the items, sending them aside.
His red dagger is dancing in misery, while his blue dagger draws bwautiful arcs in the air.
Veins can be seen on his body as he made movements
These movements were so sharp that if a normal canine was hit by this, they will be shred to pieces.
His teeth are gritting against each other, his face too determined that if a normal person saw him, they will get scared.
But that's just how stressful this circumstances are for him.
The last ten seconds feels like an eternity for him.
He has already cleared three fourths of the place.
[00:09]
With one step, he folded the space.
Forward Rune!
And with that, almost all the straight lines became dots.
He stepped again, and his daggers were like skewers for him, and the dots are the places he has to put those skewers on.
[00:08]
Finishing the dots, he leaned down as he jumped again.
There are still line above him that he still hasn't cleared yet.
[00:07]
Slash, hack, cut, stab.
Multiple attacks were made.
His attacks looked like wildflower that even the carnage became a work of art.
[00:06]
The numbers had now dwindled down to just a hundred thousand, the number he started with, but this time, he won't let them have their mitosis.
He will kill them all.
He can kill them all.
And he can take everything here for himself.
Yet suddenly...
[00:05]
His Zen Mode ended.
Although it is just a state of mind, he has used it for almost ten minutes already.
His brain is craving for the colors it once saw, and was dying inside his skull.
So, in order for it to function, and see the art again, it shut its zen mode itself.
[00:04]
Even with his orifices bleeding, Zypher still took the lines.
Thrust, sweep, and spin.
He didn't stop from performing, but his breath is now too erratic that he has to slow himself down to not miss any lines.
And there, he found it.
The only violet point he saw.
[00:03]
The population is now at it's last straw, and is preparing for a final stand.
Their desire to get revenge to Zypher is higher than the actual fear of the hunter before them.
And he did not miss that.
With one move, he cut down more than half of the population.
[00:02]
The last move was enough to make his resources to the brink of being empty, but Zypher did not care.
He still has others to kill.
And now, the lines became so erratic, sparse and varied that he got stressed just by looking at it.
He needs to kill them all at once.
[00:01]
Pushing himself to the limit, he made his final move.
Forward Rune.
Two runes overlapped.
All the lines now began to intertwine, and create a single line.
Zypher, with all the folding he did, is on the verge of collapsing, but the last second is holding on.
And in the final fold, where all the lines became one fine violet line, Zypher did not hesitate.
He slashed both Fero and Nitor, clearing the last line, and he arrived at the purple dot, where he needed to stab both the daggers.
BOOM!
[Transcension has ended.]
A huge wave of fatigue washed over him as he flopped down the valley.
The blood is now covering his cheek, and his front body is soaked in it.
His back has also some occasional blood splatters, but a huge sigh of relief escaped from his lips.
Suddenly, waves of notifications came over to him.
[Congratulations! You have killed one million enemies alone! Title obtained!]
.....
In the end, he got three titles, four skills and upgraded abilities.
First, are the titles.
His One Man Army became Human Nuke, which lets him have 120% of his Attack, Defense, Speed and Intelligence stats.
He also gained another title: Dagger Master. This title lets him have a 15% Attack, Dexterity and Speed boost when using daggers. It was upgraded a few times, and is now at Dagger King, which is at 45%. He knows it can also be upgraded, but he will experience this kind of hardship again.
And the third one is: Blade Master. Like the dagger, it also has levels, but this was only upgraded to Grandmaster because he did not use so much of the blade attacks. This one is better for he has already 40% from just being a grandmaster, giving him a solid boost to his stats if he uses blades.
The skills he got were the skills he used in the fight.
Slash Lvl. 10
Sweep Lvl. 10
Stab Lvl. 10
Thrust Lvl. 10
Level 10 means that the attack is now mastered and with those, he unlocked their corresponding abilities.
The Ability: Stab, is different from the Skill: Stab.
The Ability gives it a boost. Each stab made is having a 20% of Critical Strike Chance, and is faster than regular stabs. The Skill is its use: he stabs the target.
So, if Zypher dueled someone, and both their stabs are at level 1, he can still win because of the title, for he is faster, and has a 20% Critical Strike Chance.
Slash now deals 30% more damage, Sweep has 50% more area, Thrust now can be done in high speed, or even without preparation.
These were what Zypher came here for. These skills will be hard to level up outside, but here? He did it in just hours.
And now, he has another set of rewards.
