In this world according to the mother. every powerful transcendent. Had their own unique weapons that define their fate. ranks and future.. but deruth only had a gloves.. that was even not a weapon.
And right here right now. he will make his own fate. Even just for a moment many armed enemies was using an advance weapon are advancing to the 18th floor of the tower they didn't know whats up ahead.
deruth Takes ruru bag and drop the smoke bomb to the stairs. And immediately hide in 19th floor. For an ambush. He planted the bomb smoke everywhere.
Deruth start to think about the plan. In this mode. Deruth was stronger only in the tower. With additional buff when he has no allies. His stats was increase the more enemies he had. But with this boss power..
Was roo risky that there's a chance it turn deruth into a corrupted creature and die. He gamble his life.. just for this moment. The enemy start noticing the smoke but it's too late. Immediately deruth attack the one enemy who's checking the smoke.
The enemy fire its. magic gun. Deruth black it with his hands the enemy continue firing the gun until deruth reached him. Deruth grabbed the mag and pull it out *click* the sound of gun stopped firing explosive bullets.
Deruth use the mag to smash the enemy face and throw it to another enemy whos about to come inside the 19th floor. The enemy start advancing inside the room the dropped bombs in the floor was about to explode. Deruth jump off the window.
Using his piano wire's to land in the 17th floor *Bannng* a massive explosion. Completely destroyed the 19th and top floor. After landing in the 17th floor deruth. Killed three enemy's in the window a row with his fast and calculated movement.
The tower was making a beautiful sounds. The Statue was moving to perform a beautiful sounds. *Bang bang bang trill* sounds of magic bullet crushing the walls. Deruth dodge over and over. The enemy was starting to be afraid of deruth.
"What.. what the fuck are you!!"
"Im just a weakling."
Deruth crush the enemy head with his fist. But the fight ain't over yet. *Bang bang bang bang* sounds of armored enemy coming from the top. Fully armored and close combat enemy was coming from deruth.
Deruth dash towards the stairs he Dodge their guns and swords. While dodging deruth leave some bomb behind annihilating the 17 and advance to 13th floor. Deruth jumped again in the window. Circling around the tower using his piano wires.
When it's tied enough deruth pull it with his strength cutting the wall. Thats enough to make 13th to 9th floor fall. After the floor fall in the ground deruth was in 12th floor thinking the fight was over.
a huge dragon pass by in the sky. And dropped a huge brute demon. In front of deruth.
"Its a brute demon holy shit!! Are they serious!? im strong but not strong as that.. they brought a f#kin demon here.. this is a professor level creature"
The demon dash towards deruth not giving him time to dodge. Because it didn't attack but grabbed him. Its adapting to deruth's pattern. He grabbed deruth bypassing his dodge.
"Is it adapting to me?"
The demon attack being so coordinated. But Deruth dodge it all but only because of the *shirayukime style* he can't fight the demon with *herma. style* deruth was getting tired.
The demon stare like him it's eyes. Are shining red. Looking down from him.
Deruth attack the demon but his hands are blocked by it huge hands. throwing deruth like its nothing. Deruth stand up like a zombie. He sigh.. and fixed his gloves.
"I still haven't give my all.. you know. You're in my territory."
Deruth one eye started flaming again like what happen in the top floor. Using this power can blind him but. Its worth a gamble deruth the tower start making beautiful musical sounds again. His body can't handle more he was tired. But he didn't stop.
"It might be the last time ill do this. So give me all you be got!!! Let's settle this. Ill show you my all. nothing but blood and violence. Ill show the art of genocide. This tower is my canvas and ill paint it red with your blood.."
The brute demon understand deruth. It smiled. the armor of the huge Chimera demon was changing to it's full potential. As deruth energy started to change.. the demon turned into metallic Chimera
"You think youre the only one had transformation.. this is my all.. its time to right my wrong.."
Deruth. Gamble his life more for the love of the game. Using the skill he got just earlier deruth charged a skill immediately "the dance of death" this two creature dashes towards each other. in the other place. Ruru whos already far away looking back from the tower..
"Deruth."
Enemy and allies felt the unknown energy. The top students felt the power. they never felt. An absolute killing intent from the tower direction. Because of this attention the attack and the fight supposed to happen. Was extremely reduced.
All the enemy's attention was in the tower. Most of the top students ain't given a chance to fight. The enemy didn't reach their location. The faction leaders. That was far far away. They're in the hideout watching.
"Oh impressive who's that might've."
"No no no no no is my creation okay? I felt it got hurt."
"Then make a new one.."
"Ohhh my im so turned on what kind of energy is that"
"..."
"Pls anyone keep it done the invader was there he will handle it alone"
Back in the tower. The brute demon was totally destroyed. Many tentacles and head was cut. Blood fills the tower. Deruth starting to feel the ability side effect. Making him unable to even stand. an unbelievable pain and memory loss. Erasing lil bit of memory.
Before deruth collapse Kyle catch. Deruth the backup was arrived and finally the fight was over. Enemy was retreating. After knowing the backup has arrived
"Good job my only student"
The dark faction only Launched many armed minions, one strong apprentice. the undefeated invader and brute demon. But enough to commit such a massive destruction. The attack didn't kill anyone but they only injured random students also chesire, Caroline, stella and raku.
After a few days deruth wakes up no one was around. The place feels quite and people are busy because of what happen. Deruth tried to remember. The mother explained everything. She told him deruth lost many things that this ain't count as win.
"So that's what happen. I gamble my life just to save everyone and stopped the progue accident... But causing me to forgot most of the skill i gained.. damn such a waste of efforts.. but. Im glad there's no death"
Deruth takes a deep sigh. He tried to think why the dark faction tried to attack the academy. For what reason. The dark fiction doesn't just attack random people unless they had the orb of calamity. Deruth suddenly realized
"Wait could it be.. the academy has the orb."
Knowing that the dark faction caused an accidental just to put their focus on it. Deruth immediately rush outside. His abilities was halved. Deruth only has passives herman style, shirayukime style, eye of the wrath and area control.
"Damn. I got tricked i give my one time use life worth power up just for that.."
Deruth only go where's theres no much people in the academy. His instinct was telling him that the orb of calamity was there. But theres many library in this huge academy he tried to focus his head. Using his all he known about the manhwa he know
"I get it now.. the light and dark!"
He immediately go to the book where magic book are there. He immediately found the book when he touches it. a secret passage was open. The book story was from an old tale hero and demon king. Like he predicted.
"Jackpot."
Deruth use the shortcut. To find the orb faster than the dark fiction he find some guards. Deruth snapped their neck killing them. There's no choice.. he had to rush. He kill every guard who sees his face. A strong aura coming from the other room.
"What is this."
Deruth found a strange orb. Its not the orb of calamity that give a power. He find something far more valuable. The orb of self. Deruth slowly walk toward the orb. He raise his hand to touch it. Its calling his name.
The moment he touch it the orb reshaped as bone jaw mask. The mother says it change a shape defend on someone who made a contact to it. And deruth can die. And became one of it.
"Mother do you trust me."
The mother send a nodding gesture using text that yes she did trust him.
