Sora pulled out the Five-Seven and aimed to where Sinon was shooting to.
Squinting his eyes, Sora shot five bullets, aiming at the five figures far in the distance.
…
"That's… aren't you too broken?"
Sinon looked at Sora, unsure about what to say about his skills. She knows about amazing people with great skills, but not skills like Sora's. It was as if Sora had broken through the limits of using firearms and became godly at using them.
If she knew that even the worst cultivator can pull off something like this, Sora wondered what she would think.
A cultivator strengthens their body at the beginning stages of cultivation before continuing into the essence. When the body is strengthened through cultivation, the mind is enhanced, reflexes, strength, speed, accuracy, and eyesight. With just this, the average cultivator can easily master using guns in just a day.
"Not that I know of," muttered Sora as he holstered the gun.
Looking at Sinon for a second, Sora instantly noticed that she was going to go through a scary experience in real life. Without letting Sinon notice, Sora lifted his arm and pointed in the air in Sinon's direction before making use of the Mystical Source Manual on Sinon.
Sora pressed a few acupoints on Sinon to increase her strength and her durability temporarily. This way she could protect herself from what's bound to happen according to her fate.
"You're suspicious, did you know that," mumbled Sinon unhappily as she looked away from Sora with a tiny blush on her face.
Continuing to remain waiting, Sora decided to familiarize himself with his Heavenly Body, which took only a second, before continuing his meditating.
Sora and Sinon remained seated where they were, Sinon occasionally looked through her sniper, looking for other players. So far she has seen no players at all despite the fact that they were in the open.
Time passed ever so slowly, surviving through the dying players. Soon it was just down to four players, Sora, Sinon, Death Gun, and some other player that was taken down by Sinon the instant he crossed her.
It was just then that Sora opened his eyes and pulled out his gun at lightning speed.
Bang-Clink!
Sora shot to the top of a building, saving Sinon from near death. When Sora shot, he didn't aim at the player shooting Sinon but at the bullet making its way to her.
Looking back up to the building, Sora squinted his eyes at the familiar figure in the distance.
"Looks like XaXa came over personally," muttered Sora as he looked at the masked figure.
Putting away the gun on him, Sora pulled out the photon sword instead since he wanted to get rid of this sword wielding player with a sword. Showing him the most modicum of respect as a sword user.
The figure on top of the building descended down through the stairs on the side of the building.
"Stay back Sinon, this will get dangerous," Sora warned Sinon, not wanting her to enter between the fight of Sora's and XaXa's.
Capable of easily taking down XaXa with a single sword move, Sora was willing to let XaXa make the first few moves before ending him.
Sora and XaXa slowly made their way to each other, their swords out and ready for virtual bloodshed.
"I didn't expect to see you here," muttered Sora as he gazed at XaXa with a cold gaze.
"Makes me happy you recognize me," said XaXa with joy within his voice despite shaking in fear before Sora.
XaXa knew of the stories surrounding Sora, including the one where the players Sora had killed within the game had died within real life with sword wounds on their bodies.
It was one of the mysteries that the entire world was still investigating since the players had spontaneously died right before the eyes of some people. A single sword wound on their body, covering the hospital room they were in with their own blood.
"How could I not remember you? You're one of the three players that ran away from me with your tails between your legs."
Sora coldly smiled at XaXa, lifting his sword and pointing it to XaXa.
Gnashing his teeth in anger from behind his mask, all of XaXa's fear disappeared. Lifting the skinny sword in his hands, XaXa quickly replicated some movements from the rapier skill tree.
Shooting Star!
Sora watched the attack coming straight at him before casually deflecting the attack and punching XaXa in the abdomen.
"Guh…" XaXa glared at Sora, his eyes turning bloodshot. "Your punches are so weak!"
Crucifixion!
Looking at the sword shooting over to him at slow speed, Sora casually tilted his body and let the sword pierce right by him, missing him by a hair.
Sora looked at XaXa languidly as he dodged every attack and occasionally fought back with either a punch or a stab with his fingers.
"Rraahh!! Stop moving around so much!"
XaXa looked at Sora with great anger, his eyes turning even redder as he attacked faster but with no form.
Smirking, Sora just lifted his sword and placed it in front of XaXa's face, pointing at him with the photon sword. Staring into his eyes with his dark cold eyes, Sora lost all emotion on his face as a formless aura busted out of his virtual character and shook the virtual reality space.
Pointing!
Fighting back without attacking the body but instead the mind and will.
XaXa's face lost all color as he felt immense danger and pressure from Sora and his sword. He felt a large blow had begun dealt to him just then as he fell to his knees and his body was covered in cold sweat.
Looking up at Sora one last time, XaXa squinted his eyes in anger before falling to the ground unconscious and disconnecting from the game.
…
"Hiii-k!!"
Gasping for air, XaXa, real name Shinkawa Shouichi, had left GGO the instant he had fallen unconscious.
Shouichi was just looking for some time to rest before leaving his temporary apartment in fear of being caught. However he found that he couldn't even lift a single finger as he woke up to searing pain.
"Argh! How does he do it?!"
Shouichi yelled in pain as he struggled to even move a single finger, but it was like he was completely paralyzed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Police! Open up!"
"Damn! How'd they find me so quickly!" Moving his eyes over to the door, Shouichi cursed in shock.
Knowing that he had finally been caught, Shouichi cursed Sora from the depths of his soul with great anger. A single tear fell down the side of his face as he knew what awaited him at jail.
"Damn it all!!!"
…
"Now it's just you and me kid," said Sora as he turned to Sinon.
With a smile on his face, Sora lifted the photon sword up in the air before winking at Sinon.
"I didn't come here to win this game, so I will go out in style!"
With a beautiful flash array of colors, Sora performed a charming sword dance with the glowing white photon sword. The sword dance went on for only a few seconds before Sora all off a sudden disappeared.
[Heaven has been eliminated.]
[Congratulation!]
[Sinon is the champion!]
"..."
Sinon gazed at the spot Sora was at with wide eyes, not sure what had just happened. She felt touched at Sora's actions and felt her soul tremble at the majestic aura of the sword dance Sora performed.
She was so absorbed into the sword dance that she had failed to notice the entire dilapidated city disappear after Sora's sword dance. The ground was littered with sharp and thick sword marks.
The entire city has disappeared and the only thing remaining were Sora's sword marks on the ground.
Sora had performed a self destructing sword dance that brings out a ferocious power from the user and the sword, bringing them to their death.
…
"Hais~."
Removing the NerveGear, Sora sighed before jumping off the bed and removing the nodes taped to his body.
Sora quickly wore his clothes and got rid of all the machines in his room. He cleaned his room before heading out and setting Natsuki on her lunch break.
"This whole thing ended earlier than expected," said Sora as he greeted Natsuki and sat in front of her.
"Ah… yes…" muttered Natsuki with a shocked look on her face, not expecting to see Sora so quickly.
"I will be heading out in a bit, so feel free to stay or leave whenever you feel like it," said Sora, ready to finally meet Hayato.
Sora was finally ready to know what Hayato knows about the Grand Master realm. He wanted to know the secrets hidden within the seemingly inconspicuous realm.
His eyes lit up and his muscles twitched in expectation. Anything, no matter how small, that will make him strong is anything Sora looks forward to. As long as he can become stronger before the ending phase of the Heavenly Rebirth Realm.
Only then will his strength no longer exponentially increase. So he had to make use of everything now before everything ends.
Sora still had many pills he hasn't taken to increase his strength greatly. A total of 11 pills that Sora still needed to take. From the medicinal pill 1 that increases strength by 10% to the second of 20% all the way to the 10th pill that increases strength by 100%.
Then the 11th pill that increases the strength by 5 times. The pills don't add up together, for example 10% + 20%.
Instead it increases the previous total, 100 + 10% =110 then the 20% would make 132. The strength increase would be exponential once he reached the peak!
It would only be a matter of time when that is achieved. This isn't even including the passive given by the Nature Qi and the fusing of the mind, body, and spirit.
"Before you leave…. I have to tell you something you need to know," muttered Natsuki, looking at Sora nervously and with fear.
"Oh? What may it be, Natsuki-san?" Sora looked at Natsuki with a light smirk on his face, already knowing what Natsuki wanted to say.
"I…" biting her lower lip seductively, Natsuki took a deep breath in. "I raped you."
Sora stayed quiet for a second, stopping himself from laughing out loud. He took in a deep breath before giving a light chuckle, "I know."
Natsuki blanked out for a second, her eyes turned blank and her body froze on her.
"... What?"
"Yeah. I have a strong connection to my body, so my mind is sensitive to everything my body feels. It was quite a nice feeling whilst playing," said Sora as he gazed deeply at Natsuki with a small smile on his face.
"But…"
Sora lifted his hand, stopping Natsuki from continuing. His face turned serious and his eyes squinted, "However, if you continue this, then I may need to punish you. I will punish you in which ever way I wish to."
Lowering his hand, Sora maintained the serious look on his face as he grabbed onto Natsuki's hand. He slowly rubbed her hand and intertwined his fingers with hers.
Natsuki began to feel some mixed feelings with what Sora was telling her and what her hand was feeling.
"You will be receiving many types of punishments," muttered Sora. He took a pause, using his thumb to caress Natsuki's thumb knuckle. "Like this one."
"What do you-" Just as Natsuki was about to question Sora about what he meant, she felt Sora press onto her thumb. The moment she thought he was going to break her finger, Natsuki felt a sharp wave of pleasure wash over her body and deliver her extreme pleasure.
Her legs slammed against each other as she unconsciously wished to prevent herself from orgasming. Ending in a futile attempt, Natsuki wet her nurse uniform and the floor.
"If you continue 'raping' me, then I will have to do this to you," muttered Sora as he let go of Natsuki's hand.
"Now. If you'll excuse me, I have to head out somewhere," said Sora. 'It's time I find out what causes people to die when they listen to the secrets of the Grand Master realm.'
Sora headed over to his room and changed into some plain and stylish clothes. A white shirt paired together with some black pants and a pair of white shoes with black sole strips.
Once Sora wore the clothes, he strapped the Inverse Dragon Swords before leaving the house and heading straight to Ryozanpaku.
