True Force

"Sorry, but it was you or me..." I said repeating Lewis' words back to him, he realized for a moment who I was. But I had already grabbed his skull, the seed of bedevilment was already planted and quickly consumed his entire consciousness.

Taking its place, and it's various thoughts in a single swift movement. Lewis' resistant look disappeared and he had solemn respect for me, as the nerves in his body regenerated he barely knelt to me. I looked on coldly, I had always thought I would feel better if I got revenge.

But it felt empty and cold, I felt further detached from any bit of humanity I had left. I touched my face and realized I had already started to cry. Two small tears to honor the man I thought Lewis was and not who he really was.

I wiped the tears away and removed my final attachments to Lewis and the Silent Swords guild. I had already slain them with my own two hands, it was time to let it go. I processed through Lewis' mind looking for key mentions of his involvement with demons. I saw him convene with some powerful real deal knights, like Teacher Elton but a much lower level.

They instructed him to get certain materials and ship them over to Rain. The materials came from Kirin, and they had a contact who would move them. Since it was processed through the mortal world, they wouldn't notice that the uniqueness of the items. I felt enlightened about the guy I got my papers from.

He most likely handled the shipping, which was why he asked about me coming by. I looked through Lewis' mind and found that they had received the guy's suspicions about me. But Lewis was so busy that he put it off, but he was planning on investigating soon.....Had I not gotten so strong so fast, that would have complicated things. I looked through the last of Lewis' memories, I heard what he said to the black man that he would save me after I left the prison.

I smiled a sarcastic smile, cognitive dissonance; I am a good person but I need to do this one bad thing. I'll make up for that bad thing with a good thing though. That was what was going on in Lewis' mind, but I know from his thoughts that he never had any intention of helping me it was just sophistry. I am not like that though I don't need a justification for what I do beyond my own power.

I looked through the materials they gathered, Starry Ginseng, Astral Beast Soul, Celestial Larch, and so many more star based herbs. I found that Asmodeus required a massive amount of magic energy, they were planning on opening a massive dimensional gate to the purgatory realm.

Asmodeus would send an avatar down to Rain, and start the plan to get into the Ancestral Treasury using these astral powers! But these were just my conjectures with all the information I had gathered so far. Dante was pivotal because he would be doing the ritual, and just like I suspected they feel interference from the library. The library handles the protections for the school.

They planned on destroying the restrictions and, doing the ritual allowing Asmodeus to reach the mortal realm. Of course, I wouldn't make it that simple, I had already left a little gift. I took out my notebook, it had gotten old and worn out over the year. But the information in it was groundbreaking in almost every field.

Be it physics, anatomy, knighthood, magic, spellcraft, restrictions, history, and even philosophy. I ripped out a few pages and preserved them well, and wrote some more on the pages. I went into Lewis' room and took all the expensive items he kept.

I removed the items and made a little lab, I took out a petri dish of blood. I activated my elemental brandings, the burning feeling inspired a comfort I hadn't felt in a while. The secrets of the universe and magic were presented right to me. I could zoom in with my great vision and observe the blood at a high magnification.

I noticed the berserk nature of the blood, and took another sample and examined it. I took a bit of my own blood, and it was a violet color. It would corrode anything it touched, but I have sturdy materials to hold it.

When I looked at it, I noticed it was like a tide with highs and lows. But it was never truly berserk, so I took the red blood and mixed it with my violet blood. I watched and waited intently, the blood mixed becoming a deep purple. Then boom the blood disintegrated and disappeared from the petri dish.

"Failure again." I intoned in a cold tone before I could think I was given a notification of my status. I clicked it and noticed the shadow of Providence has a 128 on it now.

"Hmm, doubling in my army..." I thought interested, but I got back to my experiments

Although it failed I was able to see the interactions with magic power. So I took out more of my samples and tried the same experiment a couple more times. By the time I was done, I had one sample left and I had already gotten an idea of the magic power structures.

I started to write out a magic circle to regulate it and allow my blood to take those characteristics. It was an idea that I got from Jerome with his fey blood. Why not borrow those berserk characteristics as a hidden card in a tough situation?

I carved the magic circles into the ground continuing my tests, and observations as I detailed with to the best of my ability. When I felt tired I stood up and went out of the room, Lewis was at least able to stand up now.

"Master." He said in a cold robotic tone

"Bring this to your superiors, after that kill as many law abiding upright citizens you can find," I said as I flung the pieces of paper with telekinesis, he took them as carefully as he could. He burst out of the room following my command to the letter and rushing off somewhere.

Though it seemed unnecessary to command him to kill law-abiding citizens. I want him to be sent to the deepest level of purgatory, by engaging in a wanton slaughter. He will be killed and be sent to the deepest level of purgatory.

"You can come out now," I said as I walked back into my laboratory

Out of the shadows came the expert from Gavyn, he had a surprised smirk on his face.

"How'd you know?" He asked in a supercilious smile

"No chance that Gavyn wouldn't send an assassin. You outed yourself by using the shadows." I said with a chuckle

"That bedeviling power, it is very similar to fey. You also bent space with a special energy and you are even able to change your physical appearance. I wouldn't have been able to find you if you didn't have ties to this guild. You have some rather 'interesting' powers." He said insisting on interesting.

"A member of the Silent Swords' and cultivator of heretical powers. How would the headmaster feel about your blasphemous actions." He said as to further his argument

"Oh, you dare to threaten me?" I asked in an almost joking tone.

"Yes because I have nothing to fear from you." He said almost sneering

I released my full aura, at that moment no constraints to my full level. My stats quickly raised themselves through the roof bring my stats to.

"You.....what is with your aura." He said it with a pale face.

"That's just the start," I said as vibrant heart started to beat, and the room vibrated in turn. Along my body appeared lightning runes as they crackle into the form of a Kirin. My Sword Heart l was fully released, my disguise fell apart and the sword on my glabella released my Ouroboros Sword Intent. An Ouroboros slithered from my glabella as it wrapped along my body forming a Serpentine Armor!

They generated an even stronger sword intent, around me space was warped by my spatial energy. From my mind, I released my magical limitations, undulations of telekinetic energy were abound. My eyes started to burn with magic power.

"So fine you're stronger than I expected but not strong enough." The expert cackled as he probed for my expression. He looked at my devious grin and felt further dread in his heart.

"Who said anything ended?" I said as I snapped my fingers, and my restrictions activated! All around the room appeared glowing violet runes. They shined on us releasing their energy undulations. My blood was activated boosting my power and my True Qi and Void Comprehension increased by 1%. Two new skills appeared on my status bar, and my power increased dramatically.
