Let's recap what has happened up to this point;I found out about Will, Onyx died awakening my Will, I made an Imperial Arm which against Heaven's Will and it sent me to a dungeon called Ragnarok. I kept my new Imperial Arm, the adventurer armor set and a note from Heaven's Will. I got disappointed that my phone was gone, but I did get a note from Mira describing the dungeon itself.
[Hey Rook, I hope its okay if I call you that, your currently in Ragnarok a dungeon that was created from the end of the world, you've been thrown into this dungeon because you defied Heaven's Will which I'm proud of you for. Its called a dungeon which means that there are stages and only 5; this is the end of the world I guess people would call it. The only way to get out is to survive this war by destroying the 5 beings of Ragnarok with rest of the Mobs, their names will be floating above their heads. I believe in you Host!😤]
"She always has such high standards of me." I say getting up to walk while wearing the adventurer set. I run around trying to find this world of war Mira was talking about when I see it or should I say them; Fenrir, Jormungandr (World Serpent), Surtr (A flame giant with a flaming sword), Cerberus, and Atlas.
They were terrifying beings which makes sense why they could bring forth the end of the world. They were gigantic the smallest one among them was about as tall as a 8 story hotel. I didn't want to move at first thinking if I did they would sense me, I had observed them for about an hour after I sat down crossing my legs. Then something miraculous happened they split up to go to their floors I guess, this helped out me in so many ways that I wanted to yell, but remembering where I was I kept my excitement inside when I notice demons tormenting the humans so I ran to help after the 5 beings had left.
When I looked back to find my sword I realized that this was my modified Kirito sword not the Imperial Arm I had forged. I grabbed it anyway heading to the village that was in ruins and when I had arrived I could see the demons in the sky as well as people trying to fend off the demons in the ground trying to eat them. I noticed a little girl holding a stuffed teddy bear with a demon close behind her, I waist no time as I bolt over to the demon stabbing its back. When it had finally saw me its agro was drawn to only me and not the girl. It first tried to claw me, but missed every attempt which was due to my passive ability, Evolving Weapon's Physic, growing due to Onyx's swordsmanship.
The demon had horns, black skin, wings, claws, so basically your usual demon I guess. I side step the monsters next attack and cut its head off with a little trouble at first. I turn to the girl making sure she was okay besides her child-like innocents which I had just ruined, I pull her to a group of humans where she would be safe I hoped.
I ran back to the battlefield drawing the agro of all the demons by using a technique called 'hit and run', doing that pissed the hell out of them, the ones that were flying casted spells such as fire balls and lighting bolts which I find ironic, the ones on the ground chased after me ready to claw and eat me to death. When I was a fair distance away from the already ruined village I turned around as I full sprinted to the demons.
"Come and get me you assholes!" I yelled irritating them some more. I jumped as high I could go slamming into the middle of their demon army surrounding myself with at least 100s of demon beasts ready to rip me a new one. "Now are we gonna talk like girls all day or are we gonna fight!" with that they rushed towards me.
'Maybe I went a little overbored. Eh- its to late to back out now.'
I swingy sword killing the first demon in front of me while dodging the next demon which tried to attack, the next attack injured my left shoulder and after that they hit my back, the worse part of it all was that the ones flying above were casting spells at me so when I dodged I would get hit with shrapnel. This battle was not in my favor in anyway, but I have to preserver through this no a matter what. My sword felt heavy the more I swung, my muscles were being pushed to their limits and with every moment passing by my brain was getting strained.
*CRACK*
'Shit, at this rate my sword will break and I'll be defenseless!'
I jumped onto the demon closest to me as I cut of its wings then I hopped on to the next and did the same repeating this process over and over till they had all fallen, I jumped back down doing a spinning attack downward slash killing 17 demons, with each dodge I became faster and with each slash I felt stronger. Unexpectedly a demon caught me off guard with a punch sending me flying until smashing back to the ground making a small crater, they demon that hit me seemed to have relished in its attack enjoying it even.
'I gonna lose at this rate.'
I tried to stand up only to fall to must knees ad I see the demons were running towards me again this time with a sense of enjoyment in their eyes. I could tell they were gonna tear me apart slowly just to savor it, knowing this pissed me off making me stand back up in my fighting stance.
'I'm gonna win this battle and that's my resolve so I must see it through!'
I felt something rising from within me, not in the sexual way, more like a sense of power growing inside me again I say not in any sexual way. There was a blue light enveloping my sword and body almost like water that was dripping upside down especially on my sword. My entire body became lighter, my senses were sharper, my mind was less strained and my skills felt enhanced or improved in a way.
I swing my sword in the air as a blue wave of energy was sent towards the demons disintegrating them one by one. In just single swing I had killed half of the demons which put them all on edge it looked like. They looked to be in awe of the power I produced with must one swing, must be thinking I was holding back this power, I took advantage of this opportunity and swung my sword again creating another blue wave of energy which again disintegrated the rest of them this time.
The blue energy slowly calmed down with the feeling of power going down. I wondered if this has something to do with my Will which Onyx awakened, I didn't expect it to that strong. My head started to hurt as images of sword movements flooded my head, this was most likely Onyx's swordsmanship he left for me to learn. The swordsmanship mainly focused on using Will to empower the attacks, but they could be performed without it, though they wouldn't be as strong. They were basic attacks mainly because the purpose of this swordsmanship is to help the owner of Will get used to it until they can form their own swordsmanship.
I cultivated Will in order to understand the fully understand how it works and so far I got this; Will's purpose is to amplify power, but the key to activate it is to reach deep inside oneself and bring out their desire to push on, if the user gives up easily then their Will will become weak. I memorized each movement to master this swordsmanship I have to increase my understanding to its peak. When I had finished I went back to the village to make sure they're okay at least.
When I had arrived again the village was completely destroyed I stopped about 10 yards away from the village, I saw people were gathered at the entrance while others were mourning the deaths of their loved ones, I wanted to say something, but decided its best if I kept to myself, I'd done the best I could I didn't want to think of what may have happened if I got there quicker, I won't push the blame onto myself unless I deserved it. After I had confirmed they were okay I ran to find a new weapon because the one I had now was soon gonna break before I could get a new one.
Three Hours Later...
I've been traveling for short while looking for another village or any sign of life really.
"This is boring as hell and I can't even listen to music, when I get out of here I'm gonna beat the heaven out of Heaven's Will!" I yell aloud. I continue to run when I see a knight fighting 4 demons or more like holding back, I decided to get a little closer if only to hear what was happening.
"You wretches of hell!" the knight said swinging his sword. The knight was gonna run out of stamina and eventually lose to the demons so I decide to help, I threw my sword at the demon piercing its hand as it screeches like the bitch it is. I didn't give the demon time to recover, I bolted to one of the other demons punching its face slamming it into the ground, turning around I grabbed my sword from its hand doing a spin-slash cutting its head off, the other two were scared out of their wits and ran away.
"Wh-Who are you?!" the knight asks yelling at me. When I tried to get closer the knight went into a fighting stance.
"You don't have to worry, I'm not gonna hurt you. I was just passing by and wanted to help." I said starting to walk away.
"Halt and state thi name." the knight said. I stop walking away and turn back towards the knight. I didn't pay enough attention to the knights armor to notice that the knight's looked similar to the Elite Knight armor set from dark souls 3. The sword was a common a long sword that you would see in any medieval age time so that didn't impress me one bit.
"My name is Rook and you are?" I asked back.
"My name is Aurora." the knight said lowering their sword.
"How about you put that sword away, take your helmet off and we can have a civilized conversation before something else comes our way." I said sheathing my sword and putting both my hands up for the knight to see. She did what I asked by putting her sword away then taking off their helmet, I see locks of reddish-brown hair fall from the helmet, dark brown eyes, freckles and white skin; she had taken my breath away with just a look.
"Wow-" I let slipped out of my mouth. She notices my stairs and starts to blush.
"What are you looking at." she saids sternly making me avert my eyes. We sat their in award silence until I thought about a topic for us to talk about.
"Excuse me, but do you know where I can find a new sword or a smithy?" I asked and she thought.
"I don't know where you could find a working smithy, but if you want a weapon just go left that way and you'll see a battlefield full of weapons." she said. They would be in bad shape and most likely be either rusted or broken do I dismissed the idea.
We chatted for awhile until we decided to go our separate ways; I traveled towards mountains where she said a huge three-headed dog lives and ironically also told me to stay away from it at all costs.
I wondered if developed a crush on her because I can't seem to stop thinking about her beauty, she probably a more tomboy than anything else, that only attracted me further.
"I got to stop thinking about her a d get my head in the game." I said sharing my bead at the sight of a huge steal door. The area which the door was in had claw marks and dried stained blood around it, the door had a depiction of a three headed dog that had a spikey collar, the door would lead me into the biggest mountain in this location. "Well this is subtle."
I push the door open walking inside into the dark room; there were columns of rock with symbols on it, I start to hear the sound of gnawing of flesh as well as cures of a demon which I knew all to well due to me killing a lot of them. I creep closer to the screeches when I see a huge demon being eaten by Cerberus. The dog had black rubbery skin with muscles that made its skin glisten, its teeth were huge looking nearly unbreakable, the dog heads looked the same with their completely white eyes. It also had a tail the size of a dresser.
The demon was as tall as a 5 story building and getting destroyed, it was a bigger version of the smaller demons with a steel mask that looked like the statues on Easter Island. The demon's arms were being eaten by the left and right head while the third one was starting from its neck, holding it down, in a way I felt bad for it, as far as I could tell Cerberus liked to play with its food first. I was unsure if I could beat Cerberus by just looking at the way he was eating that demon while it was still alive.
I steel my resolve preparing to fight one of the hardest monsters I've ever faced to this point, I ready my sword in a stance to stab the Cerberus(middle head) left eye. I charge to the eye stabbing it while the Cerberus was distracted.
*Grrrr*
The Cerberus growled when it noticed my presence, letting go of the demon, it then charged at me using its right head to slam me into a column. The column begins to crumble which seem time make the mountain shake, the Cerberus froze seeming scared of the shaking. I take the chance to charge at him again while he's holding still to attack again. I slashed at his main body leaving deep cuts yet it seems unfazed by them, I stabbed my sword in between its spinal bones twisting my sword as I push it down deeper the Cerberus takes notice of me and now considered me an enemy.
I ran away from Cerberus while it followed behind me gunning me down hard, I turned around using a spin-slash to utilize the momentum to jump over Cerberus onto his left head in an attempt to stab its head, but failed due to the middle head snapping at me throwing me off balance.
I'd fallen to the ground when Cerberus started to smash me into the ground relentlessly to no end, when it finally did stopped my upper body armor was broken and was now showing my bare chest as well as my scars. Blood was flowing from my head down to my eye forcing me to shut it, Cerberus was closing in on me about to ravish me like it did that demon, Cerberus was ready to dig in when l heard the sound of cutting flesh.
"I knew I was right to follow you!" a familiar voice yelled. I knew that armor from anywhere, it was Aurora, she landed between me and Cerberus trying to protect me which I felt was cute. "The moment I told you about Cerberus I could tell you were gonna do something idiotic!"
"Well well well, It seems someone just wanted an excuse to follow me or could it be that you've fallen for me." I teased her. She puffed her cheeks starting to blush like a tomato before turning around towards me.
"I just didn't want to have your death on my consciousness and who would fall for a stupid imbecile like you!" she yelled pulling me to my feet.
"Then why could I feel your presence following me?" I asked pulling her face closer to mine.
"Tha-thats because, yo-you probably mistaken that presence for some monster.".she said frantically while blushing.
*Grrr*
Cerberus was snarling at the two because it had never been treated like he didn't exist, every human that has entered his domain would piss their pants must by seeing Cerberus so it was extremely pissed off when the two in front of itself were acting like he was t there.
"Sorry, but our three-headed is getting cranky it seems." I said to Aurora turning her around as she readies to fight. I take my stance as well, we charge at Cerberus full force, I slash its legs to slow it down while she went underneath it stabbing its internal organs. We slash, stab, strike, and fucked up anywhere I we could, when I notice that Cerberus wasn't moving anymore, the suddenly a massive shockwave bursts from Cerberus as its entire body is coated in blue flames.
The flames vanish soon after leaving a single-headed dog with a zebra like mane made of blue flames that went down its head to its back, it looked way stronger than before, Aurora and me took some caution as we approached it. It opened its mouth shooting out flames until it completed a circle of flames around us leaving us nowhere to hide from what happened next. It jumped inside shaking the ground when it landed knocking Aurora and me off balance and onto our knees, Cerberus used its front paw to smash me against the wall out old the blue ring of fire when it loomed at me with a look I couldn't ignore, it was a 'I'm gonna enjoy this' type of look. It turned towards Aurora who was still recovering from the shockwave, Cerberus opened his mouth gathering flames with the purpose of unleashing it on one target and I already knew who it was, Aurora, Cerberus unleashed all the flames onto her as I heard her screams until they stopped.
I looked up at its satisfied grin, it made my blood boil. My sword was on the break of shattering and my body was in terrible shape, but even so I charged at Cerberus stabbing its left eye and in return it shook me off and held me down with its paw, it leaned in close with its mouth drooling and bitted down on my left arm viciously pulling it off and swallow lying with the same satisfied it had before.
'Mira, I need a Regen Pill!'
Nothing happened.
"Mi-" I stopped myself almost forgetting why I'm in this mess. "I can't believe it happened again; someone protected me and they were killed, I was helpless that time and even now. I promised myself that I would make sure it never happened again!" I yelled with tears rolling down my face as well as blood.
{If you don't want to be helpless then become strong enough that you can defeat anything that tries to dominate over you! - 1st Dad}
'Yeah, that's right if I don't want to be helpless ever again then I have to become strong.'
A familiar feeling started to grow from inside me, it was Will, my body was coated with blue energy. The energy twisted around the area that left arm was and formed a translucent blue arm, I could feel like it was my original arm and the energy started to make the scars all over my body glow blue as well.
"Its pay back time you bitch!" I yelled grabbing the sword in Cerberus left eye pulling it out and stabbing the paw he used to hold me down.
*Awoo*
It moved its injured paw as I prepare to do the technique I had developed using the swordsmanship Onyx left
"Will Swordsmanship: 1st Form - Blockade Will!" I yelled. I rushed towards Cerberus doing a spin-slash upwards creating a huge wall made of Will that slams Cerberus into a pillar, but I don't stop there. "Will Swordsmanship: 2nd Form - Raiding Will!" I yelled performing another technique. While Cerberus was recovering 100's of swords made of Will were floating in the air, Cerberus took notice of this and suddenly became scared because the first attack was enough hurt it which meant this attack was most likely enough to kill it.
*hmm*
"Stop whimpering don't you know the saying; 'an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth and evil for evil'." I said smirking a more evil smirk than the Cerberus had made. I raised my sword and slowly bring it down so that's its pointing at Cerberus, the swords started to spin and shot like bullets attacking Cerberus from every direction and every possible place they could, till Cerberus wining couldn't be heard like how Aurora's screams couldn't be heard because she died and now so did Cerberus.
[You've beaten Cerberus, the watch dog to the Gates of the Underworld!]
[You've received the skill: {Three Heads are Smarter than One}!]
[Now keep killing those beings!]
"What the fuck!" I said. The first thing I did was properly bury Aurora, I put on her tombstone a title that I created called 'The Conquerer of Cerberus', I left her sword in the traditional anime style grave which was stabbing her swords in the ground next to her tombstone.
I opened the doors which leaded me into Cerberus layer and what I saw outside waiting for me was what could only be described as meme which at this point would be saying 'At this moment he knew, he fucked up' because standing before me are the other 4 beings.
Fenrir, Jormungandr, Surtr, and Atlas; they were towering over me as Fenrir walked towards me and crouched slowly to be on almost the same eye level.
"We're here to make a deal with you." Fenrir said with a feminine voice.
"I'm in deep shit." I said.
