Chapter 95: The Birth of Demons
🔥 The Aftermath of Brutality
The training room was a wreck.
✔ Metal shards scattered across the floor.✔ Dismembered AI combat bots lay in piles.✔ Bloodstains painted the steel walls.
💀 And in the center of it all… stood two monsters. 💀
Kozuki Renjou, breathing heavily, wiped the blood from his lips. His knuckles were torn, his body bruised, but his eyes burned with something terrifying— rage-fueled euphoria.
Kozuki (grinning, voice hoarse): "Heh… I could keep going."
Rei Kurogane, barely standing, adjusted his cracked glasses. His entire body ached, but his mind? Sharper than ever.
✔ Every movement.✔ Every attack pattern.✔ Every weakness he exploited.
💥 He had memorized them all. 💥
🔥 Graves stepped forward, clapping slowly. 🔥
Graves: "Took you long enough. Now, let's crank it up."
💀 More machines activated. 💀
✔ This time, no joints to exploit.✔ No weak points to target.✔ Just pure, merciless killing intent.
🔥 The final test had begun. 🔥
Phase Three: Killing Instincts Unleashed
💥 The Berserker Mode Combat Simulation 💥
10 AI War Machines. No limiters. No shutdown commands.
✔ They moved like demons.✔ Their fists shattered steel.✔ Their blades could slice through tanks.
And Rei and Kozuki?
💀 They had to survive. 💀
🔥 BOOM! 🔥
A machine lunged at Rei. Its fist, the size of a sledgehammer, shot toward his skull.
Rei (thinking instantly): "I can't block this. I can't dodge fully. So—"
✔ Instead of dodging outright, he shifted.✔ The punch grazed past his cheek, missing his jaw by millimeters.✔ Rei countered with a palm strike to its balance point.
💥 The machine stumbled.
That's when Kozuki exploded into action.
🔥 CRACK! 🔥
Kozuki's knee drove into the machine's head, shattering its core processor.
✔ One down.✔ Nine to go.
💀 But the real horror was just beginning. 💀
Phase Four: The Monster Within
The next wave was relentless.
✔ Kozuki's body was screaming in pain, but his strikes got faster.✔ Rei's mind was overloaded, but his calculations got sharper.
🔥 They were evolving in real-time. 🔥
But it wasn't enough.
Rei dodged a blade—too late. It sliced into his shoulder.
Kozuki blocked a hammer strike—his forearm cracked under the force.
💀 They were breaking. 💀
🔥 And that's when it happened. 🔥
💥 Rei snapped. 💥
For the first time, he stopped thinking.
✔ No calculations.✔ No hesitation.✔ Just instinct.
Rei: "Tch… if I can't analyze my way out of this..."
🔥 Then I'll fight like an animal. 🔥
💀 His vision sharpened beyond human limits. 💀
He moved before his brain processed it—
✔ Duck.✔ Counter.✔ Disarm.✔ Break.
His body flowed with predator-like precision.
🔥 The hunter had awakened. 🔥
And Kozuki?
✔ He grinned, blood dripping from his mouth.✔ His heart pounded. His mind was blank.✔ His fists moved on pure survival instinct.
💀 They weren't fighting like humans anymore. 💀
🔥 They were fighting like monsters. 🔥
The End of the Trial – Aether's Two Demons
🔥 Hours later...
✔ The war machines lay in ruins.✔ The entire room was silent.✔ Rei and Kozuki stood in the center— battered, broken, and grinning.
Graves (watching them, voice serious): "…You two aren't human anymore."
💀 Aether Academy had just created two demons. 💀
🔥 And the world would soon learn to fear them. 🔥
