Chapter 5; Helmut

Pack with a newly built body, vanitas stood up and walked like some kind of newborn child. Though In pain the boy still walked, the chunks of flesh that peeled off his body were falling one by one as he walked.

The ground trembled, and the loud sound revered throughout the area, the boy ran. The boy, vanitas, knew what was coming after him. Soon the large body of an abomination was seen from afar, and Vanitas who was careening while running at a fast pace whitened.

RROOOOAAAARRR!!

The abomination let out a powerful roar. There's no way in hell it's going to let the prey it finally found after a long search, go. 

It opened its maw, and a concentration of powerful energy was slowly forming in it.

Vanitas seeing it, grasped and started forming plans one by one.

The energy inside him was overwhelming, and forcefully controlling it would result in unpredictable events. So he tried to guide the energy from his chest to his arms.

At first, the energy is rejecting him, but because of what's happening at his back, vanitas has no choice other than to look for another way to get away from that attack. He looked at the area, and the place he was at, and he started calculating the probability of him being able to dodge that attack.

"Just once"

He murmured, the hopelessness that was happening was too much for someone like him. 

Boom!

He was startled not because of the noise, but because of another monster that came underground, the monster jumped In front of him. It looks like an armadillo with a giant cannon at its back. Its sharp fangs and protruding long claws are letting out a menacing, scrapped noise. Even though it looks like the death has finally cornered him, his face says otherwise. He smiled as if the world had finally given him hope his been looking for.

The armadillo monster jumped upon him, with its claws above its head, and with its menacing smile as though it was laughing at him. The boy squinted his eyes, just a few seconds away, he took a step back.

DOOOMMM!!!

The noise, the beam in the monster's mouth in his back, let out a gnashing sound of terror. Vanitas couldn't help but feel as though his soul had shaken to its very core along with his heart that was drumming non-stop.

The world slows down, and vanitas moves at a Disgusting pace in normal people's eyes, even in the monster's eye. But from his point-of-view the world slowed down. 

His skill Helmut has activated, The first thing he noticed was the grey world, devoid of any color and the place that had grid lines all over the area, from the air down to the very molecules.

BBOOOOOMMM!!

Vanitas sidestepped, and then he lowered his body and crouched. His stance was unwavering, without any slightest hesitation he retrieve his sword in his storage ring.

then he brought the sword in his hand and raised it above his head. He concentrated the energy in his chest to his hand, his inside was burning and a mournful cry was wailing on his side, it felt like he was being burned alive. The mana was too much for a body that was so fragile, sadly the body that was being destroyed in the inside, more specifically his mana circuit, was also being heal by his vitality.

WEEEEEIIINNGG!

The sword let out a mournful cry and once again, he slashed his sword downward. He followed his instinct and slashed toward the biggest grid visible. Just like that, the attack that could wipe his entire being was cut in a half, the monster in his back didn't escape his attack. Everything near him and the monster he intended to attack was sliced in a half, without any resistance. The world with grid lines around it shredded into pieces, and then the world with the devoid color came back to life.

Everything turned back to normal in a blink of an eye.

The place that was full of roars and cries disappeared, what's left is the place scattered around from the soil to the monster around.
