Five years later,
"So it's like telekinesis, but you can only affect metals, am I right?"
"Yeah, but it's not like telekinesis. It's different. Look at this."
Arnold took a sword and applied some kind of magic to it. The sword started attracting other pieces of metal around it, but since Arnold wasn't strong enough, the magic easily wore off.
"Wow! Yeah, I haven't seen or heard anyone with telekinesis do this."
…
Thirty Years Later,
'Why did that bastard do this? And why are the elders allowing this?" Arnold was fuming with anger. He had become bulky and had grown to an abnormal size.
"Calm Down, Arnold. He may have started it all, but we will end it."
"Leader! Now that you are here, we won't have to fear that bastard."
"How many times have I told you not to call me the Leader, I am not the Leader. Brother Hyakki is our Leader. Even though we haven't seen him yet, he is our Leader."
…
Two Days Later,
Three men were standing on an asteroid, looking at their planet being slowly destroyed. Those three men were Arnold, current vice-leader of the Black Tears, Boke and the current leader of the Black Tears, Kisado.
"Why would our own leader backstab us? We could have easily won the war…" Boke said with an ashen expression. He couldn't believe it. The one who started it all was their Leader, and they were counting on him.
"Let's go. We should live up to the expectation of our elders. Even though he stole all our hard work, we can still start over in a new place." Kisado had a flash of resolve in his eyes.
"Where are we going Leader?"
This time, Kisado didn't object to Arnold calling him the Leader.
"We are going to the Greenway Planet. This much Mana Stone should be enough for us to reach there."
...
Present Time,
Electricity started forming around Arnold. His body worked as a Magnet, and the weapons s around him worked as a coil of wire. He then channelled the electricity into his trident and shot the trident towards Mizar.
Mizar jumped the trident by a hair's breadth. He didn't know how he could possibly penetrate the defence of Arnold. His defence provided him with a shield and produced the power for his offence.
Mizar's long-range attack couldn't damage Arnold even if it hit him. The only field that Mizar had a slight advantage was on speed, and he thought of a plan to use it for his advantage.
He remembered that when the system gave him rewards for collecting souls, he had gotten a skill called 'Death Strider.' He didn't know why the skill wasn't listed on the skill panel. He nearly forgot that he had that kind of skill.
The skill increased his speed by 1.3 times for every kill. If he managed to kill ten people in 9 seconds, he could increase his speed by 13 times for one second. He didn't have to do that though, 13 times the speed would be overkill, and in addition to that, he wouldn't be able to control himself at that kind of sudden speed.
He climbed to the top of the highest building and took his bow out again.
"Haven't you learned your lesson? It won't do me anything. Hahaha… Get ready to die!"
Trident charged with Lightning came towards Mizar.
Just as Arnold released the trident, Mizar also fired his Bow. But the arrows fired from the bow wasn't intended for Arnold. The relaxed peoples that were watching the fight had arrows going through them. Just before the trident approached him, he got away.
"Run! What is this madman doing?"
'This bastard is getting suicidal. Does he want to make all the people here his enemy?"
Some of the people were ready to attack, but they suddenly stopped.
Some low-level mages of some factions were killed, and those factions were expecting other factions to make a move. No one wanted a strong guy like Mizar to be their enemy; more so than that, they wanted to recruit Mizar after seeing him fight.
Although Mizar hadn't done anything significant in this fight, just the sight of Mizar being able to take on Infant Mage Monarch and fight without getting significant injury was enough. They didn't want to make an enemy of such a guy for the sake of some low-level insects.
"What?!" Arnold was shocked at Mizar's sudden increase in speed.
As the people kept dying, his speed increased. It started to become increasingly tricky for Mizar to control his speed and the direction he wanted to go. The air felt like blades against his body. If his speed were any more than that, he would slam on a concrete wall like air.
The speed slowly decreased as it reached the level he could control. Now that he could control himself, he dashed towards Arnold.
He struck, hoping to break past the barrier of weapons, but what he got was an electric shock.
"FUUUCK!"
Mizar hadn't expected that. The electric force threw him back with great power, and the dagger fell out of his hand, on the ground. The magnetic field didn't affect the dagger at all.
Getting the opportunity, Arnold shot his trident towards Mizar, intending to kill him.
At first, Arnold just wanted to teach Mizar some lesson, punish him, but not kill him. But he felt threatened by Mizar halfway through the fight and decided to kill him.
"Am I really going to die like this? Hahahaha..."
Mizar didn't know why, but he found the situation incredibly funny, even though he was about to die.
Just about the Trident was about to hit him, someone stopped the trident.
…
"Do I really have such powers?"
"I have never told a lie in my Life. And you have seen it yourself, haven't you? That is why you are here."
Clement was speaking to a shadowy figure, and the things he learned from the shadowy figure a past few minutes were mind-blowing.
"If what you say is true, then I promise to help you."
The Shadowy figure went away, taking the mask that Clement had with him.
'Hmmm. Something's odd with this mask. Why is there a vibe of celestials within it? This could be serious. Has the plan already set in motion?'
