Chapter 273 Ranged Abilities
Truth was Relative, and so was understanding.
All of which was based on firstly perspective, and then available information.
And of course, emotions would forever play a part in the tumble that was decision making.
But Human beings had a general habit to carry obsessions that are tagged personally as ‘Values’ or personal ‘Truths’.
For most, these values are held so high that they limit the possibility of change as a result to the introduction of new data or information.
Clouding the senses and restricting the true possibility of growth.
In one form or the order, human beings all carry a bit of this syndrome.
In Hector’s case, it was his belief in the pride that his parents were willing to carry with them to their graves.
Going as far as to not fear leaving him behind.
It would have been easier if he never had them in the first place, but to have them, and see them willingly submit their lives for such a thing, the mental blow was thus of significant long lasting impact.
And now, even as the love of his life slowly drew closer to the the jawless Chasm that was evenly designed with rows of blade offering teeth, his judgement, based on a scar left by those that claimed to love him, formed a barricade about his mind.
No! He would not do it.
No! He would not ask for help.
His father’s last words continually rang in his head, pushing any willingness raising it’s ugly head to call for help.
And now, a prompting for the whispers had once again began.
“Don’t worry, I am a part of you. It is you who will gain greater strength. It will be your power. Yes! You will be able to save your lover and defend your PRIDE!”
As Hector slowly lost this tug of war, his eyes turned towards his loin cloth were he had kept the devil pill.
“Yes! Just one. All you need is just one pill, and strength will flow through you, far beyond imagination.”
Hector did not notice that it was his fleeting thoughts that was making him lose this unannounced tournament.
Just then, Athena managed to open her eyes a bit.
However, the sight of rows of teeth before her eyes and the massive headache assaulting her head, made for her to be unable to move out of place.
An action that meant she was to be eaten alive in the next second as the worms saliva was already dropping on her body.
However, just when those teeth were to be her ‘Final Destination’…
*Slash!* Slash!!*
Swift sword sounds were heard.
And the worm beast’s head was cut into uneven parts.
The heavy body of the worm fell to the ground, dead.
Lenny stretched a hand to Athena, “come on!”
She nodded as she took it to rise.
This was something that Hector of course saw.
He frowned a little at this. However, he was indeed grateful for her life.
He ran up to her, “are you okay?”
However, as he attended to her, the Worm suddenly wiggled about as it slowly came back to life.
It’s wounds were healing at an alarming rate.
Negative Magic littered it’s injuries, healing them.
Subconsciously, Lenny and the other two took some steps back.
Lenny could see that this worm was just like the cow. Negative Magic was it’s strength.
Just then, Both Crusher and Perseus ran over.
They had managed to bring both their opponents down.
However, with the rate at which these things healed, it would not a problem for them to come back for them.
“We need to get out of here! These fuckers are not dying.” Crusher stated.
Lenny frowned at this as he waved his sword.
Suddenly, his sword went up in white flames.
*Boom!*
He kicked against the ground and into the air.
His sword dropping down like judgement from the stars on the sinners of the earth.
Once more, he made slashes on the giant worm, easily turning it into Sushi chops.
This time around, it went up in white flames.
Every part of it, never to heal again.
Just like that, it was gone.
<+2 Magic Points>
At this time, the dog was also rushing forward.
Lenny rushed for it too.
He flipped in the air, just as he was upsidedown in the air, his sword shot down like a meteorite.
His blow destroyed the beast from its center.
<+2 Magic points>
Next, was the cow.
Just like before, he also darted for it, instantly killing it.
<+2 Magic points>
All the creatures that had plague them had been instantly destroyed. πππ€ππποΌππ€π’
<Alert>
<In respect to the amount of Magic points gotten from Consuming the Ruby eyes of Negative Spirits and killing Negative beasts, Host has unlocked Range attacks>
<Range Attacks unlocked>
<Please pick a basic range attack>
<1. Spear Throw
2. Fireball
3. Fire dart >
“Hmmm!” Lenny nodded at this.
He had never thought of it before, but it was true.that he did not have anything for a long range fight.
The system bringing this up now was a great thing.
In fact, if only it had come up in his fight against Spring town, he might not have needed to use the exploding…
Lenny intentionally stooped his line of thought there.
He did not want to think about it.
“It was for the greater good!” He reminded himself.
He concluded that absorbing a certain level of negative Magic triggered a part of the Satan System that he was most unaware of.
Lenny looked at all the options he had been presented with.
Each was unique in its own right with difference when it came to damages.
It also had some difference when it came to precision and the kind of damage it could cause to an opponent.
Spear Throw as the name signified, allowed Lenny to make a spear with his white flame.
Each spear that was made and thrown was equal to 200 Magic points…
