Book 1:Chapter 32: Killing Spree
"Here's the plan you can weird your saber right? If not why do you have it. Anyway they might be camping from where we came from. So let me go in first. Support me from the unseen attacks if you can't handle one okay?"
"I can fight them, if it's not that many it's also easy for me. I'm not new to gore and blood I had my fair share of experience."
Mingyun said proudly but meekly because he knew those experience are laughable only preying on weaklings.
Mingyun was hesitating looking embarrassed but also from the glint of his eye.
"What is it? Are you having a nature call but can't tell because it's embarrassing?" I asked while grinning.
"I saw you fight but never saw you use skill, or spell. Does your spell need chant like other that's why you can't use them?" He asked cautiously.
'Damn it, even I don't know why I don't have an active spell. But I do have spell and god? I don't worship I even knew only those three in legends.'
"I do have skills but they're not active it help my battle sense and stats, as for the gods I don't worship or knew any" I replied.
'Now that I think about it, the Emperor's Domination should have work due those hostile aura, so many of the enemy that should be easy. There's something wrong'. I thought which made my mood sour.
"You said they're sensitive in fresh blood right? So as long we don't bleed we won't attract that much. Their own blood isn't fresh plus it's unattractive to them right?" I asked and as expected Mingyun nodded.
...
After preparing and recovering they once again enter the mist.
As expected some Liuoybruch is still there around 20 meters away from the actual mist, it still numbers in many but not that many this time.
'Well this is great it's still many and few of them are now scattered. Unlike a flock of ants giant ants to be exact.'
Charging with taken the initiative I summoned the scythe, this time I hit exactly one of the numerous eye.
This time he saw it due to less pressure and less screeching he saw a skill activation.
[Domination (Passive)] Your stats rising exponentially>
*One Hostile aura detected overall stats +10%*
[ DOMINATION (Passive) ]- A skill that let's you dominate your foes, the more the enemy you face the stronger the monarch become!
For each hostile unit towards you the user of this skill overall stats grow by leaps and bounds. Grows 10% of your overall stats for each hostile aura in your perception range.
Domination effects on allies.
•If you consider them subordinate or they submitted to you, they will gain % Stats boost of their primary stats depending on the position or title you've given to them. Can also grant unknown power to an extremely devoted follower.
Example: A knight submitted to you and his primary stats is STR. You assigned him as Knight division captain which increase his Primary stats by 25%
1000 STR+25%=1250 STR.

-[ CALM INFLUX ]- Activated
'Is it only by attacking them in the eye will make that mob angry? So even if I scratch and tore flesh as long as it's not the eye it's not hostile? Why does it move like it want to devour me tho?'
Thinking while parrying hands and striking a counter attack with optimal chance.
'Don't tell this state of them attracted to us are their only instinct? Instinct to devour life form. So it's only hostile while I attack it in those weak spots. I didn't even notice the notification last time due to the sheer size. I have calm mind but I don't have the time to look at the notification that time.
This make sense! I only realize the weakness almost halfway through during my first fight and the one I attack with weak spots I tend to finish them fast. I see the +10% or +20% overall stats helped me that time.
I didn't get greivous wound and at the middle of the fight when I'm getting exhausted I can easily dodge by only a hair away.'
Regal then starting dashing towards one Liuoybruch after another only attacking them once at each eye, making them berserk.
ScriaaaaAAAah! ScriaaaAAah ScriAaaaAAAah
MINGYUN'S POINT OF VIEW:
Mingyun while looking over almost jumped from shock and his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
'Is he gone crazy this time? Is this how we will be done? Should I run, This is pointles..' Before Mingyun finished his thoughts standing frozen still he noticed Regal's getting faster and faster also the strike he's done becoming more deadly and deadly.
Blinking rubbing my eyes to confirm I'm not going crazy, it's the same slapping myself hard
PAH!
"DAMN IT! That hurts f*cking sh*t!" Of course it's intentional that I slap myself it even got swollen at the unintentional strength I out in to wake me up. It's true he's getting stronger and faster.
REGAL'S POINT OF VIEW:
'This is it! Why didn't I think of it earlier? So being calm and clear headed doesn't make me smart I'm so stupid it's embarrassing.' I said to myself.
DOMINATION (Passive) Activate-

"Mingyun this is your chance, attack only the one I've attack already and no matter what you do don't attack the eye. That will be our plan. You can kill them easily remember the only one I attack. That's the only one you can kill!" I shouted
While doing this process again and again while the Liuoybruch keeps yelling and agony from rage I still continue to do hit and run tactics. But as the time goes on my dodge doesn't look narrow anymore in fact the monsters are getting more rampant, but they can't catch up to me.
*One Hostile aura detected overall stats +10%*
*One Hostile aura detected overall stats +10%*
*One Hostile aura detected overall stats +10%*
...
This... Even I got absolutely shock on how absurd this skill is.
'There's no limit? I can't even count how many monster I attacked and even as I continue my stats rises, but the downfall as I kill them the stats drop over time.'
Looking over Mingyun he keep attack an isolated berserk, Liuoybruch catching up to me swinging it's hideous arms.
There's still plenty of time to watch the surrounding this time, and since this place is special the skill [ CALM INFLUX ]. Always activate, and I'm always clear headed whether I try to panic a soothing sensation that wash away those thoughts. I can't even panic even if I want to in this place.
Still this isn't a bad situation for me. But if I start killing them I can't do this hit and run tactics I'll get tired eventually.
Thinking hard I decided this will work, alright.
I nick my finger at the sharp edge of the that cut it lightly enough for a drop of blood to form. I let the blood at the handle of the scythe, but seeing that before the blood permeate some of it's essence the scythe absorb it.
So no choice this must be a bad idea but put some of my blood in my clothes, then run towards the scattered Liuoybruch pack. Of course due to their sensitivity from living and fresh blood they got berserk. But only in instinct means they don't have hostile thought, like consuming life form are a good thing to them even falling to the category that they love their prey. No hostility at all.
"Scary no hostile aura yet the thought of them devouring you like a barbeque sends me shiver down my spine!" Well who cares their EXP to me anyway.
Bending my knee a bit I jump as hard as I can, using a bit of gravity going with the momentum I slash downward splitting a Liuoybruch in half.
Slain
-Gain 10 Points.
In one hit without interference like knife cutting through butter.
But still not enough to one shot without the momentum and gravity.
"Fine then I will provoke more till I can kill the others in one shot!" Deciding on this Regal sprang into action, faster, faster, faster! Regal got faster and due to the blotting size of this oversized unidentified overgrown hairy centipede.
Numbers of enraged monster grew the screeching grew louder the pack grew enough as the eye can see.
But Regal still isn't struggling, the one struggling is Mingyun. But he already killed a few in this scenario being treated like rocks and the scratches he deals is ideal for Mingyun.
But still pathetic yet he's happy easy EXP and Points.
*One Hostile aura detected overall stats +10%*

...
5 minutes almost all the eyes can see are these chaotic abomination monsters rampaging.
This time each strike allowed Regal to cut through the whole body of the Liuoybruch like it's air, hitting even multiple target one slash kill!

Due to how many angry and hostile aura towards him, the domination skill now racks up +8710% overall stats. Means the hostile aura around him numbers in 871 already.
A simple movement of Regal isn't even a movement but more like teleportation, disappearing one place to another.
"Damn this is what it feels like to feel powerful, this mobs are like ants too bad it's temporary, but damn it's still too op. This skill is AWESOME!" I said while enjoying the slaughter. No pressure at all, and my one swing kills more than one mobs. Of course the one I'm targeting are the one who's not hostile.
Of course Regal isn't so sure if the mobs he killed are hostile or not. But the one he's killing the most are the one in front of him, while leaving the monster he damage to catch up to him. Since the smell of fresh blood in him let the Liuoybruch detect him more. The more he ran the rampaging monster that got provoke gets left behind. Mingyun killed more than a few already, cleaning up a lone struggler at the horde.
Still this helps him give a lot of points and EXP.

Killing left and right leaving corpse in his wake.
By this time Mingyun was too shocked that he got numb, like if there's a god that descend he won't even be surprise seeing Regal bath in blood but not his own blood, enemies blood.
Continues sound of popping EXP Points, The hostile monsters keep rising up and down. Regal keep leveling up and down.
Mingyun also killed quite a few, tho a pitifully few compared to Regal, but by "Normal" Standard this monster Hunt's already a feast for him.
Corpses continue to pile up, number of monster still many but it's not as blotting the sky. Regal by this time still rampaging spree, but this time he ignored the continues to fight like a robot. But Regal decided to minimize his movements, being efficient as possible.
'I'll use this as practice wasting mindlessly killing, I'll hone my battle instinct because I have and Overwhelmingly high stats. This isn't even a matter of fight."
Closing my eyes breathing calmly focusing my sense, of course my perception is cut of from this place. Standing still Regal home his instinct like a stone he doesn't even activated his instinct this time. But nothing like senses and tingling or ringing.
But he felt nothing he even felt the wind and hearing an object or rather a hand smashing towards him. He got hit but it did nothing, like he's a rock.
BAM!
Of course it's because of Vitality risen to an absurd level. It felt like a small pebble hit him not even moving his position an inch.
'This won't work why doesn't my sense work? The stronger you are the higher your senses and battle instinct right? Why I feel like I'm alone in a pond.'
Mingyun saw that the worm rampaging stop but started climbing at one another, and he saw Regal standing tanking the impact but did absolutely nothing.
'A monster a certified monster of monster! Well this isn't a bad thin free bus! They stop running perfect target practice EXP EXP EXP!'
Mingyun thought to his mind, of course Regal doesn't know what he's thinking but he started moving random and almost bumping to a Liuoybruch making that monster tumble, due to Regal's current raw strength.
'Why isn't it working? Damn it! This won't work I'll just kill you all.' After deciding the slaughter began again, 30 minutes, an hour, two, three hours all the way till 6 hours. Forming a ghastly sight, all forms of flesh corpse blood from the monster all around as the eye can see.
The seemingly endless monsters now only a pitifully 20+ few monster moving amongst the mountain of corpse. Not even an exaggeration calling it a mountain by being compiled.
Regal now back to his normal state he still has the domination but not that strong as earlier he only had +20% Overall stats.
But this time he felt it! The tingling sensation, the body warning to dodge this side. The sensation of danger.
If other knew what he was thinking no doubt they will think I'm a lunatic for wanting the feeling of danger.
'But for me this is training, I must not forget this feeling even if I'm as ridiculously strong like earlier.' This is it remember the feeling trust myself to the instinct.
Mingyun was now only watching Regal a long time now, he was already tired of 3 hours of straight running and killing also dodging. But nonetheless a big harvest that made him smile and jumped in joy, but being so tired like a beaten dog body slump at the ground watching Regal.
'What is he doing? Closing his eyes? Did he go stupid all of a sudden? He will be hit damnit.' By now Mingyun has his idea that Regal is stronger the more enemy he faced, but also weaken if the enemy is few. It means if he fought a crowd he'll massacre but if a single powerful entity even I don't know what will happen.
Of course he got this conclusion because he saw Regal slowing down, from one slash slay 3, to one slash to cutting a big wound only.
While still standing Regal still has his eyes closed. Then upward on him and his left and right flank a strike incoming without a way of dodging then.
BOOM!
