Walking out the gate, 7 black constructs flickered over. Creating a massive crater that devoured the gate and some of the wall. The other students were protected by the world system due to the "duel" function. A transparent shell covers them as they run to escape from the area.
The system protects them from physical and magic attacks, but they can still die from internal factors. If they were held immobile, they can be starved to death or suffocate. As the dust cleared up, 7 unfamiliar figures stood surrounding me. A smile of confidence graces my face. Dispelling my barrier made from [Abyssal dome] 's sub skill [territory creation], stakes of darkness burst from the surrounding ground, swallowing the 7 figures.
Retracting the stakes, the 7 figures reappear unharmed. Figures, it was going to be difficult. Too bad, that wasn't all I have, I'm not magic oriented after all. Unlike uncle Vadim, these guys didn't have greed to boost their agility into the sky. My normal speed was more than enough, forming a scythe out of [manipulate shadow], I lunged at the closest figure. Predicting my move, the figure escapes.
Try predicting this speed next. Injecting energy into my legs, I jumped to the the furthest figure. "Fuh~, didn't think I have to get serious. That was a thousandth of my max speed, it was a billion."

'She can go to a trillion?!'
'It must be a lie!' 'Then explain that grin filled with bliss!' 'It must be augmented! This is her max, she's just tricking us!'

Hahah...so many more fun battles like this are going to happen in the future! I look forward to it. To them, it must have looked like I just jumped past their colleague. Collapsing on the ground, the figure in black started leaking a pool of blood. Scrutinising, there was a fine cut that went through from head to pelvis, cutting him completely in half.
Using an item to conduct telepathy, the leader speaks to his subordinates again.
'... This is the path we chose, in order to improve our lives we sought a high risk job with high pay. If you guys were intimidated from that, I suggest you leave right now. I will continue to fight.' Unobservable from the outside, all their expressions changed under their black mask. Their plate armour rattling as they took their subordinates sacrifice in their stride.
Their leader's words still resounding in their head, they hardened their resolve as they laid their eyes on their goal. Seperating, all 6 remaining figures disappeared from their spot. An instantaneous technique? Well my agility is still faster, my reaction speed would still eclipse theirs. Instantaneous movements jsut transported you instantaneously, your reaction speed was still decided by your agility and your will power. Using such things will give an opening equivalent to how long it takes from them to think after use.
Twisting the muscles in my whole body, I spun around, red flowers bloomed into the air as 4 blades impale my stomach. "*KUGHH!* Hahahaa, as if something like this could get me down after all I went through. Thanks to your 3 subordinates sacrifice, my evasion skill tiered up." Flashing a toothy grin with blood dripping down my lip, I walked out of the 4 blades.
Their pupils shrink as I walked out of the blades basically unharmed. 'How...? Only level 900s can achieve this level of immortality. Where did she get those skills from?!' Taking this opening, I swung my arm holding the scythe at maximum speed. The air around detonates along with 2 more crimson flowers blooming in the air.
With another swing, the smoke blows away as the last 2 enemies activate every skill in their arsenal. An immense pressure clouds the area as they prepared to launch their strongest attack. "[Final hit: Tears of blood]" (Both) All 5 corpses disappear as strange capes adorned the last 2 individuals
I inspect their status:
Monster:High vampire lord
Level: 784
Monster:High vampire lord
Level: 743
Tch, more trouble. Lunging at my max speed, the air exploded creating a smoke screen. Landing my left leg next to the high leveled one, a crater formed in the ground as I swung the scythe and my whole body with my right hand. Infusing mana into the shadow scythe, I stuck the blade into his back. The whole body evaporated leaving the head, using [Shadow step], I teleported above the head and used the gravity effect to mash it to a pulp.
Grey matter splattered over the ground as the last enemy closes in. Too bad, you guys were just too slow or you would have won. Just as his fist pushes through the air, creating a heavy pressure, I raised my palm right exactly at where the fist was going to land. Don't misunderstand, I'm not going to catch the fist. "[Void beam]." Erasing the surrounding area, a second craters forms inside the first one.
[Physical immunity-tier 2 —> tier 3]
[All element resistance-tier 2 —> tier 3]
This wasn't pointed out by the world system, but my scythe mastery reached tier 5 as well. Walking towards my new territory, I used 'wrath' to reverse all the damage. Right now I can't revive the dead since there's literally no trace of them left. Let's say they left a limb, if the rest of the body doesn't exist, turning back time won't do anything. It's basically a superior version of regeneration that can help recover from blood lost.
Inspecting the mansion left behind by the Vadim clan, I make a mental note on the outlines of the place with [shadow memory]. Going into the dungeon isn't effective for leveling anymore, leaving me stuck at level 700.
The only possible way to level without taking years now is to kill high level humans. Unlike monsters, humans have been gathering experience the moment they were born instead of being born at a high level. Experience is basically super condensed mana that only forms when monsters die and release their mana into the air. Humans have much denser experience, making them the biggest exp packs.
Of course, leveling was now secondary. I may have become insensitive to blood after killing so much, but it isn't exactly fun either, I've had my fill of fun leveling in the past. I'm willing to bet that there are more strange powers out there that are like 'sins', my goal would be to gather them and rechallenging the king.
Walking into my new bathroom, I set [abyssal dome] to cover the whole mansion to track intruders. It's main effect was to boost my attack power and accuracy, but if it was something as simple as feeling mana fluctuate, it grants me a small boost to that as well. If the territory breaks, that would be a big sign as well, but I doubt it would happen if someone is trying to sneak in.
Dipping my foot in to test the water, I sunk my stiff body into the tub. Ah~, what an exhausting day. I'll think of what to do tomorrow, I should rest for now. Done with the bath, I collapsed on the bed and slowly nodded off to sleep.
