CH. 137: Yatanic Temple ?

Officially, Akira and Doran formed a temporary party and started the trip to the Sinister and Dark Lands of the game in persuit of the kidnappers. The trip lasted a whole hour which was the most boring hour in Akira's life, but thanks to his powerful senses that detected the senth of grief and unholiness, something he's very familiar with, Akira and Doran didn't have much trouble finding the Temple.

The Yatan Temple was a huge in-game structure in a completely deserted part of the map. Facing the complex, they immediately ran inside sneakily while also paying attention to their surroundings. Time was ticking, and they needed to act quick to save the daughter.

Temples are usually Level 150 dungeons scattered in designated locations, usually the unstable and sinister parts of the world. Clearing one wasn't difficult but certainly needed a plan an coordination from all participants; these dungeons are unstable and are likely to change due to internal variables, this changing the required level from 150 up to 300 or more.

And this was what's gonna happen with this particular trip.

Inside the Temple, Akira and Doran snuck into a hiding spot, they could see the Earl's Daughter on a cement altar, tied up and cursed with fatigue and paralysis. The mysterious people around her were servants of Yatan, cloaked individuals who planned to use her as sacrifice. Doran was thankful she was still alive.

"Alright, here's what we're gonna do—" Doran wanted to explain his plan but Akira quickly moved to the center of the room. "No time Doran, I'm speedruning this quest." Akira said, confidently, leaving a confused Doran behind him with a poker face and a perplexed expression.

"Alright fuckers, hand over that chick without resistance or I'll crush every single one of you like insects." Akira said menacingly with a a tough fist pointed at them as he caught the attention of everyone around him.

[[ (S) Quest Accepted: Save the Earl's daughter from the servants of Yatan. ]]

The servants of Yatan took a step back in intimidation, "Wh—Who are you...?!" They asked in confusion.

The Earl's daughter, even under the life draining spell and constant energy draining, could see Akira standing up against the bandits and preparing to save her. In her current situation, there was nothing else she could do but hope that this man would succeed in repelling the threat of these people. Her eyes were focused on the boy and she prayed in her mind for his win.

"Bl—BLASPHEMY!! YOU'RE A HERETIC AND NEED TO DIE AT ONCE!!" A servant of Yatan shouted as he pulled out a blade.

"DIIIIIE FOR YATAN!!!" He shouted as he ran towards Akira with his blade pointed up. Irene looked at this scene with horror, she wanted to close her eyes from fear of the outcome but couldn't due to the curse which paralyzed her. Doran watched from above and waited for an adequate moment to intervene, he saw Akira's confidence and decided not to get involved yet.

"HAAAAAAA!!" The servant screamed, running at Akira, but just when he was one better away from him, time seemed to stop from Akira's POV.

Well, inside or outside the game, he was still an Outer God with boundless power, but for know let's just start with an underwhelming fragment of power.

Akira swung his hand vertically in the air, cutting the arm of the servant. Then, almost immediately, he caught his chest with both hands then applied enough stretching force to rip his body into two mutilated part. Bones, organs, tissues even cells were torn apart. Then he threw what he had left in his grip to the servants before him whom didn't dare to move after such a terrible display.

Some vomited, some started questioning their power, some lost their will to fight. But even so, they gained enough courage to launch an all out attack on Akira.

"YOU HERETIC!! HOW DARE YOU KILL ONE OF US!! YOU'RE GONNA DIE NOW FOR THE SAKE OF THE SACRIFICE!!!" They shouted.

Then, the servants of Yatan started casting spells harmonically, focusing their power on a single unified spell whichwas pointing towards their enemy.

Strange words were pronounced and the spell finally took shape, "DIIE!!" They shouted as they launched the immense fireball towards Akira.

"What a waste of time, I wish you all just die." Akira said.

"No in fact, I want you all to die now." Akira said. [Narration] took his sentence seriously and made the fireball deflect and return to the senders. Faced with their own power, the Yatan servants all evaporated before even knowing what happened as they fireball returned to them with a 100% kill rate.

None survived. Even the ones far away, in the other parts of temple or outside of the Temple died as Akira didn't specify whom was gonna die, the ones here, the ones attacking him, or all at once.

Of course, Irene was left uninjured. Even she found it difficult to understand what just happened. Also she couldn't believe the prouesse this mysterious savior just pulled out. Doran jumped out of the hiding spot and was left mouth wide open, "The [Return to Sender] spell is obtainable only at Level 237 and the attack under this spell loses a great part of its potency when affected... How did you do this?!" Doran said, perplexed and confused.

'No this isn't [Return to Sender]... This is a much more powerful attack... This guy's Level 0, but what if he's using a stealth spell... Either way, this guy's the real deal...' Doran said in his mind, looking at Akira with a serious expression but at the same time relief for the safety of Irene.

Akira moved towards Irene and untied the ropes restricting her. The curse was lifted with the death of the servants of Yatan so she could move once again normally.

"Are you alright?" He asked.
