Chapter 56: Burst

[Vicente's POV]    

     "I won't die that easily!!" I had to wake up with something that would lighten up the mood a bit. Chloe, and George are gonna give me an earful for almost dying. 

     "Vicente, man I thought you were dead." Oh shit, George has some actual tears in his eyes. It was nice being alive again, Chloe is going to absolutely murder me.

     "Vicente?" The voice was somehow sweet, cold, and familiar. I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die.

      "Yes?" Instead of being transmuted into some worm to be stepped on, she hugged me tightly as I could feel some tears on my clothes. 

     "Promise me you won't die….promise me…." I live another day, "Of course, I promise I won't die." We stayed like that for a good few minutes before preparing for the rest of this battle. Dean and everyone else appeared, so we had everyone here again.

     "Thank you, Dean." I gave her a hug which seemed to confuse everyone. Chloe suddenly got this cold aura which made me want to hide on the other side of the planet.

     "What's all that about?" I guess I was wrong, I would only live for another few minutes.

     "She was in my dream." Wait no, that's not right! Chloe, calm down please! Don't kill me!

     "Wait, that's not the best summary/explanation! While I was unconscious I went to the Judge's domain. It helped me control the Corruption, but I had to see you, George, and Dean either die or almost die. I lost my memories, while in there so that Dean helped me out. Now don't kill me!" Chloe seemed to have calmed down, but she still went out of earshot with Dean. When they came back, Dean was pale and shaky. I don't want to ask what just happened. 

     "I'm a bit scared too man." George and Shiro whispered to me.

     "Yeah…..same here." We continued on with no more incidents happening until we reached where most of the commotion was. Sun, Odin, Thor, and Dante were all fighting against monsters that looked really strong. I want to fight them too, but not now. They seemed mostly fine aside from a few scratches and small blood stains. This is actually the first time I've seen Sun injured even if it's just a bit like this. Odin and Thor seemed to be fine too while Dante just seemed like a battle maniac while fighting. They finished up and went to our location. 

     "Kill him son!" Thor charged at me and soon I found myself on top of him.

     "Why did he attack me?" Dante looked at me along with Sun. Sun ended up just whistling while looking at my body while Dante actually observed it. 

     "He has Corruption! We must kill him! We looked over it before since it was minor, but now we can't! Look at his eyes and feel his energy!" Odin yelled.

     "He's right about the Corruption, but it's different from the other Corrupted Ones. Vicente can you tone down the Corruption?" I haven't exactly tried it, but I can give it a shot.

     "Use skill: Corruption Manipulation."

     Message: Corruption of soul and body [20%].

     "There he has control of it, and he's stronger now. Your little boy doesn't stand a chance against mine now! AHahahahahaahhaha!" Don't rub it in the face of a literal god. 

     "It appears so," I can literally feel the lightning on my hands. Stop insulting Thor right to his face.

     "That's so cool, your eyes became black and then red again!" They did? That explains the black cracks in my eyes that appeared after my first use of Corrupted Conqueror Style. We still need to find out what they're attacking for. My eyes are turning black, I should try and bring it down to 0%. I have to level up this skill to control the Corruption better. I have a lot of work to do, but I still have to figure out what they attacked here for. I can't wait to beat the shit out Jonathan and stop whatever the hell his dumbass plan is. 

     "Odin, where do you keep all your important treasure? That's probably where we'll find what Jonathan is looking for." Chloe stated, Odin nodded before taking us to his treasury. It had a lot of things that I was tempted to take since it all looked super valuable and strong, but in all honesty they weren't too powerful. Dante on the other hand just wanted to piss Odin and Thor off since they did cause a lot of problems for him in the past. He grabbed a bunch of things and put them on even saying that they were too small for him. He made a whole bunch of comments until this monster of a person came at us. It didn't have a face or anything that would suggest it was human, but it gave off this sense of power I've only ever felt from Sun. It came at all of us and it took both Odin and Thor to hold back its attack. 

     "Use skill: Conqueror Style- Doble Conquista del Infierno." My attack did some damage, but it regenerated the damage and punched me to the other side of the room. George charged at it with a Hell Laser ready, but even this didn't do much damage. Everyone threw their attacks at it, but no one had much luck. Sun couldn't even do more damage than what we did.

     "Why don't you all just….burst?" I wasn't sure what happened, but I saw an image of everyone in this room bursting. I came back to reality to see it standing over me.

     "Use everything you have, peasant." Everyone attacked its back, but it just stayed still for a bit before countering. 

     "If you don't, then I'll just kill you here." I smiled at it before punching it's face and standing up. 

     "Don't tell me what to do. Use skill:-"
