A mere couple of seconds after that, the pain disappeared completely, and was replaced by an extremely itchy sensation throughout his body.

It was worse than the pain.

"HEEYAAAAAARRGHHHHHHH!!!" Damien Bloodbane screamed once more in utter agony as an incredible wave of itchiness bloomed in every single inch of his body, including from deep within his organs!

He wanted to scratch them all, but he didn't even know where to start! 

[Regenerating body]

[Brace for extreme itch]

Damien Bloodbane couldn't find it in him to curse the damned system for its super laggy warnings. 

He was in too much agony!

His whole body spasmed violently as his organs and muscles quickly closed up and healed. Even his left hand which was destroyed earlier started to regrow at an incredibly fast rate!

Mercifully, the entire process took less than twenty seconds. 

After that, Damien Bloodbane was left lying there on the pile of rubble gasping for breath, his mind struggling to catch up to the massive changes that had happened to his body. 

But he didn't mind not knowing the changes to his body just yet.

Because before he did anything else, he had to do one very important thing.

Curse the god damned system, of course.

God damned retarded system! Who the hell designed such a crappy product?

God damned laggy system! What's with all the belated warnings? 

What the hell did you do to my body? What's with all the pain and the itch?!

God damned idiot system!! Which bigger idiot designed you and left you in my body?!

Damn it! Damn it all!!

[Stage one body cleansing completed]

[Please note that this body cleansing is not free]

[You will begin with a debt of 1,000 Gold]

[A fifty percent annual interest rate will be applied to your debt]

[Congratulations on achieving a Bronze Grade Death Body]

[Please work hard to pay off your debts and increase your strength]

Black lines appeared on Damien Bloodbane's face as he read the words in his mindspace.

Bloody hell! Loan Shark! Greedy Bastard! A**HOLE!

Debt?! You were the one forcing the body cleansing on me! Why do I have to pay for it, and even pay interest on the debt? 

And what the hell is with the goddamned fifty percent annual interest rate?! 

Bro, are you a system or a loan shark?!

"Damn it." Damien Bloodbane cursed one last time before turning his attention to his body.

And when he did that, his irritation with the loan shark system evaporated completely.

Mana.

Glorious, glorious mana was gushing into his body like never before!

At that moment however, his brain registered a quick movement from Rick Bloodbane.

Shing.

Rick Bloodbane swung his sword lightly and let its sharp blade rest on Damien Bloodbane's neck.

"What the hell was that? Tell me now." Rick Bloodbane said rather breathlessly. 

He had witnessed something beyond amazing. 

High speed regeneration! One that could even regenerate a severed hand! Not only that, there was also body cleansing! 

It was beyond rare, not even the most valuable treasures of the Bloodbane's Clan could be traded for something capable of doing that. 

If he could get his hands on the secret behind it, he would definitely rise meteorically in rank. He might even become a full General!

Rick Bloodbane's greed shone brightly through his eyes.

But he had no idea that his fate had just been completely sealed by said greed.

[Threat to life detected]

[2 Urgent Missions Issued]

[Avoid Injury - 10 Gold]

[Eliminate threat - 20 Gold]

"Tell you?" Damien Bloodbane's lips slowly curled into a cold smile. "Why would I do such a brainless thing?"

He slowly pushed against Rick Bloodbane's sword and stood up straight to stare at him in the eye.

Fuaa!

Rick Bloodbane unleashed his Fire Energy into his sword and caused it to burst into flames

The fiery flames burned angrily on Damien Bloodbane's neck!

"Tell me your secret, or die with it." Rick Bloodbane growled softly. 

As a Major in the Bloodbane Army, Rick Bloodbane had no lack of decisiveness.

He would rather kill Damien Bloodbane than let anybody else live with its benefits!

"What was that again that I have, Death Energy?" Damien Bloodbane thought to himself as he raised his hand out toward Rick Bloodbane and channeled his powerful new energy into the only spell he knew - Energy ball. 

"What are you doing? Put your hand down before I-" Rick Bloodbane frowned in annoyance and started to threaten Damien.

But alas, Damien Bloodbane did not allow him to finish his sentence. 

BZZZZZZTTTTTTTT!!!

A crackling ball of violent energy the size of a table tennis ball appeared on his palm and shot out instantly at incredible speed towards Rick Bloodbane's chest. 

SHREEEEDDDDDDD!!!

Damien Bloodbane's eyes widened in complete shock at the sight that was unfolding before his eyes.

The small Deathball pierced through Rick Bloodbane's chest like a 1000 degrees celcius ball bearing piercing through a pack of butter!

Rick Bloodbane's eyes widened in utter disbelief as blood started to spurt everywhere from the clean hole that had appeared in his chest where his heart was.

"You… Akh. Kh. Khh." 

Rick Bloodbane crumpled to the ground and quickly bled to his death.

[Threat eliminated]

[Congratulations on completing your missions]

[You have received 30 Gold]

"Holy smokes." Damien Bloodbane was very impressed with the power of his Deathball.

A fireball the size of a tennis ball exploding could at most burn a big hole in his shirt and bruise Rick Bloodbane's chest.

Mana Awakened human beings were, after all, augmented physically and could better resist the power of the very elements they awakened within them.

But the Deathball had cleanly pierced through Rick Bloodbane's chest like it was nothing!

"It must be because Death Energy is particularly powerful against life forms." He hazarded a guess.

He was right.

Death was the antithesis of life! And as such, his Death Energy was particularly powerful against all life forms.

Damien Bloodbane lifted his head and looked through the myriad collapsed structures.

He could see the clear blue sky, and the shouts of many people slowly getting louder. 

"That spell is freaking awesome!" Damien Bloodbane smile widened and his eyes were filled with awestruck wonder even as his subconscious mind which was paying attention to his surroundings screamed for him to depart the area. 

The enemy's soldiers were closing in, awestruck wonder can wait!

However, his mindspace started to flash at that moment as a series of information appeared.
