'Splendid job young master!'
Everything was still a haze for Keno as he tried to focus on anything, at the moment it seemed impossible.
'You did that without even calling upon my assistance, I must commend you sir.'
Gear spoke unhinged as if the events before did not happen. It seemed as if the AI somehow found joy in using such a destructive spell.
Keno finally felt his heartbeat and the immense pain throughout his body. For a moment he kept his eyes closed, unsure of what he might see. Finally ripping them open to survey his actions, he came across a smog. It smelt of stone and sulfur, two things that made him gag.
"Holy shit!"
He proclaimed as the smoke cleared. Before him there was a small room but as he took in the scenery, he was greeted by open space.
The walls that once stood completely obliterated and the remnants scattered about. There was no sign of Elizebith's body or presence anywhere,she was gone.
'She no longer exist sir, if that is what you may be bothered by, however you have leveled up!'
A mental screen appeared on cue, his new status presented to him.

Keno managed to get his feet under him and examine the damage more. The room was the right wing of the first tower that Made up the castle. The bottom portion of the cobblestone tower was missing, chunks of wood and stone scattered about. Keno took a few steps toward the broken wall. Thousands of wide eyes staring directly at him.
"Halt! What has happened you criminal?!
Keno instinctively put his hands up as three generic looking knights sprinted toward him. They drew their swords and pointed them at Keno.
"Where is lady Elizebith?!"
One of them called as they approached him.
Keno shrugged half heartedly as he glanced toward his previous wound. The meat on his shoulder still visible and seeping blood.
'I think its best if you run young Master, these knights are level 30. Each very much out of your range. Unless...'
A screen of the spell Extinction hovered in his head. The single word bringing unfathomable thoughts.
'No Gear! Jesus, one kill is enough right now, I don't want to become a phenomenon.'
Gear grunted in annoyance, 'That's not what you're thinking.'
He was right, Keno was gladly thinking about activating the spell and removing all options. He felt so heavy and did not have time to deal with more commotion.
"Please, I don't want anymore trouble. Elizebith attacked me in cold blood!"
His hands hung in the air as five more knights bursted through the the door that clanked to the ground with little effort. The tides were turning quick, the move he used was only a temporary solution to his problem, he never knew it would escalate.
"Elizebith would never kill. She was dubbed the Official guide of this World, a kind soul."
Keno laughed as he pointed toward the crater he left in the room,
"A kind soul that tried to murder me?"
He pleaded. The knights closed in without him noticing.
Gear talked with worry in his voice, 'Master I think it's best if we don't escalate the situation and just turn ourselves in.'
'Gear shut up.'
Their was a click in his ear as if the ability was turned off. He smiled at the loss of the annoying AI.
"You will have questions to answer criminal, come with us."
"No."
The knights looked at him in confusion,
"If you disobey the law then you will pay with your life instead."
Keno hesitated, all of the noise crashing down on his skull. He made a mistake, he couldn't take it back. No matter how much he tried, there was no way to prove his innocence. Was it wrong though, did he not just save his own life?Why did no one care to notice his words?
"That's enough, just murder the damn fool."
Two knights advanced forward aiming their swords at his spine. Was he really going to die, so soon?
"You criminal scum, you wi-"
Keno shut his mind off, the emptiness he had stored deep inside unleashing.
"Oh shuuuut up!"
<<
"Insects, animals, mystic beast, adventurer, and finally..."
The color seeped from the surrounding area and massive energy formed from his body.
"Enemy."
The entire Area went deadly quiet in a single instant, all life forcibly ripped from their existence.
