Book 1:Chapter 25: First Anima

Tower of Demise.

Adam within his library was watching the scene unfold.

"I wish this is the right decision that you made my friend, your son should be living a happy life with you and her. Yet you choose this path for your son." Looking at the screen in front of him he sighed.

...

"Damn why do I have to be so useless! It's not like his fault that he got to this situation! Hey dude can you help him? After that I'll gladly answer your questions, I don't want to owe someone and turn a blind eye and bite the hand that feeds me." Mad monkey said

"The predicament is hard I can save him one time at that barrage, I do have interest in him also." Swift Schwert said.

Mad monkey felt a chill spine the 'Interested' Word his face unsightly brows furrowed.

At first Swift Schwert didn't notice but when he realized he quickly exclaimed.

"I'm interested in where did he get the scythe and what's his class. And I need to confirm something, well let's talk about that later."

With that he dashed out almost vanishing in an instant from his spot

"Wind Glide Lv2!"

"Speed Multiplier Lv3!"

"Zero Time Gravity!"

"Time Burst"

While running extremely fast towards regal's location he used many move buffs and short blink movements to arrive in time.

...

One meter away from the axe Regal made up his decision to put all of his Stat point to VIT!

The system showed up in front of him without hesitation.

"All remaining stat points to Vitality!"

(Are you sure you want to put 147 Stat points to VIT?)

"YES!" Regal shouted. Even if he can't move he can think or talk

Vitality: 654

Suddenly a swell of power inside him, he felt that his skin got firmer and sturdier but there's no outside changes.

"MOVE DAMN IT! ARGHHHH!" Even after he put the stats on the VIT he never stopped pushing his will power to move. A few inches above his head is an axe.

Boom!

A small booming sound after the slash hit Regal, the grassy field and the soil around him cave in a few inches deep.

He manage to move his head sidewards dodge the axe from cleaving his head into two. But that doesn't mean his body can move, only a hair away from getting his head chop but the slash continue to descend. Cleaving his shoulder.

The slash continue to descend two inches into his shoulder to his chest but the axe stopped.

"You're pretty sturdy kid I give you that. But let's see how sturdy you are! Remember in you next life that I Guffa cleave you into two." With that he intended to add more force to cleave down regal.

"HAHAHAHA Cleave me so what? You'll die with me anyway. Bless your luck I can't move or else I'll chop your head off look behind you at let's see how you'll survive that" Regal said to Guffa.

Hearing Regal's word he was stunned some rationality kicked in and he look at his back and above him.

"SHIT! Goddamn of course I'm not the only one who's driven by greed at this moment." He cursed when he saw the barrage of attacks coming to his and regal's direction.

"INDOMITABLE WILL!"- A skill that allows the user to maintain their health at 30% and wouldn't allow it to go down for 12 seconds.

Drains the user's mana.

Cool down: 24 Hours

Guffa used this skill to get some distance from this onslaught for him cleaving Regal just take a few seconds, and he can get away with the remaining time.

But something unexpected happen.

A blur figure suddenly appear in the middle of Regal and guffa! It was none other than Swift Schwert!

PING!

He slashed his golden cuphilt rapier upward making the axe that embedded on regal's body to flew up a few inches blood spurt from Regal but he didn't care he still can't move.

"Roc Sweep!"- Roc Sweep let's the user have the power of the roc knocking back the enemy and stunning them. Damage is based on the Main stats. Knock back measurement is based on STR Stat.

With a spinning kick using his left foot guffa was hit directly at his ribs the damage was insane! No one knew Swift Schwert level only he himself.

Even tho Guffa is level 130 A bit higher than regal's previous opponent Tan!

Guffa flew sidewards a wooping eight meters from his initial location.

"Don't struggle I'll save you and let's talk right after this is over, only a few minutes before Mino arrive we just need to hold on." Swift Schwert said he then place his hand on regal's back.

"Blink!"

They then both vanished and a few seconds after they reappear 20 Meters away from their initial location. But Swift Schwert put a gray dull cloak and he said "Activate Cloak ability! Banishment"

Then Regal vanished as well as him.

While all the projectiles arrows skills made an explosion on their previous location, explosion after explosion. It takes more than to explain but all of this happen extremely fast.

Guffa was constantly sent tumbling due to the impact and him being near the explosion.

But thanks to the indomitable will his HP doesn't drop.

"DAMN IT! THAT GUY! He's strong I'd be dead if I was a second too late. Damn greed, that guy is slippery as a loach. I'll report this to father I want that Scythe." Guffa said.

After the explosion subsided a big patch of smoke rose, but after the smoke vanished Regal was gone, but the scythe still floats above and the Quasar keeps on expanding getting bigger and bigger.

"Arrghhhh! Bleeech" Regal vomit a mouthful of blood.

"Don't move focus on recovering we only need to stay still for 10 minutes and the floor guardian will be back." Swift Schwert said.

"Who are you? Why are you helping me?" He was grateful but still vigilant after experiencing how can possessing a treasure can humans be consumed by greed he was thoroughly awake. That in this world power is the only thing that you first needed.

"Don't worry If I want to kill you I should have done it a while ago. My name is Felnarx Neviro Armol. Just call me Felnarx, why did I save you? Well I do have a few questions for you and your friend. How about we form a team?" Apparently Felnarx is Swift Schwert's name.

"You're right in normal circumstances, and I can't still move even if I don't want to. I do have many question also you seem knowledgeable. How about I answer your question and you answer mine? Forming a team cam be decided later." Regal said.

"Alright that's more like it. Is your friend their said he's from the planet called earth?" Felnarx asked.

This time Regal was shocked furrowing his brows anxiety written all over his face.

"Don't worry I asked because I also came from that planet, at first I was just saving him out of boredom, but when I realized he knew the language I used earlier and that language came from our planet." Felnarx patiently explained.

Regal was silent for a few second, after organizing his thoughts he decided to tell. First both him and Mad monkey owe him, plus he can pretty much deal with the both of them.

"He said that he did came from planet earth,I accidentally stumbled and met him at the forest after saving his life. You came from earth also but why are you so strong yet he didn't even have the power of the system? And are you sure we're safe here? If they saw me they'll attack again." Both Regal and Felnarx is only in a parch of grass they're behind a large tree with tall grass around their surroundings.

"This cloak is called Vanishing cloak, basically activating it consumes 20% of your Mana Pool. If you don't move you will be remained hidden your aura blending to your surroundings, but you can still move while the effect is on. But it will constantly drain you MP if you move. So don't move I activated it initially and let you use it. That's why I need to confirm if your friend is also from earth, I can help him activate the system. For now stay here and just watch, people who came from earth needs a certain criteria to awaken the system. And I'll help your friend do just that, in any circumstances don't interfere or he won't get another chance." Felnarx said and he started walking away leaving Regal in that location.

'I don't know if I can trust this guy, but what can I do? What's happening to the scythe' Looking at the floating Majestic Scythe.

'Being that hopeless, again and again being unable to do things.

"First I'm save by father damnit! If only I'm strong I didn't put father in danger. I hope they're alive. No, They're definitely alive! Father, Mother wait for me to find you. And my biological father and mother someday I'll find you and protect you from anyone that will harm you in this world.

now this being saved by a man I don't even know. Pathetic! Power! Being invincible. By only being invincible can I do anything I want without being helpless, I can even protect whom I value. People around me will be hurt by my own weakness someday. Even if I have to kill then I will if needed, I don't want that there will be a time that I'll lose someone due to my own indecisiveness.'

[FEELING HELPLESS, ONLY WATCHING THYSELF BEING CLEAVE, HOPELESS. BEING WEAK BEING ATTACK BY EVERYONE YET YOU CAN'T EVEN BEG. NOW TELL ME WHAT IS YOUR DESIRE. IN YOUR HEART WHAT IS IT THAT YOU WANT]

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

"I WANT TO BE INVINCIBLE! NEVER TO BE TRAMPLED, HAVING THE POWER TO PROTECT MY LOVE ONES, PROTECT MYSELF, MY PRIDE, MY DIGNITY, HAVING THE POWER TO BE ABOVE ANYONE ELSE!" In Regal's heart this is what he was shouting his heart pounding.

[I NEMESIS, HEARD THY DESIRE, WALK ON THY PATH OF INVINCIBILITY, I REPRESENTING YOUR FIRST ANIMA AS THE EMPEROR!]

EMPEROR ANIMA-NEMESIS.
