Chapter 45 - fixing the system (8/9)

"damn..."

Finn stared at the large clearing that had a deep crater that was still smoking. Finn watched the smoke rise to the sky with a blank look on his face. he then thought he may have possibly gone a bit too far. he was extremely tired right now but then remembered that he had placed Marv into his [void of silence]. he tried to think of different things on how he should address the issue. Finn had reverted to his lean figure and black pupils. his clothes had been stretched to amazing lengths but didn't tear, fortunately. he thought of killing Marv but then realized that something was off. his pants were sagging slightly as he shifted his gaze to look at Alyssa. he had decided to take the body out of the way and just kept it with him...he wasn't sure of what to do.

he then thought it was probably best to kill Marv after all Marv had seen too much. Finn loved his secrets. Finn then decided to head into his own [void of silence] to kill Marv. he then started his chants that caused the air to slowly rise in temperature. he was not really in a rush so after a few moments, he cast his skill [void of silence]. the snow around his feet had already melted but was now turning into vapour as a small cyclone of golden flames was forming at Finn's feet. it expanded and even had Alyssa within it as it started spinning around them. the golden flames had reached high temperatures and shot high into the sky. forming a large tornado of golden flames.

after a few moments, the golden tornado dissipated and Alyssa and Finn had disappeared.

***********

Finn had arrived within the [void of silence] and looked around a bit. his eyesight then fell upon Marv who was standing a bit far and was focusing on something. Finn had a tired look on his face as he snapped his fingers. Alyssa's body had repaired itself and was now floating next to Finn's right side. her skin was pale and her body limp but Finn didn't mind too much. Finn walked over to Marv with large wide strides. he had already reached behind Marv's back and was now just yawning a bit. after yawning he tapped Marv on the shoulders drawing his attention.

"huh!?!"

Marv was stunned for a bit as he turned to see the tired Finn, but when he saw Alyssa's floating corpse his face turned dark as he realised he had abandoned her body. Finn didn't have the energy to stand for theatrics and just let his thoughts be known to Marv.

"Hey sorry if this reunion is sensitive for you...but I brought this body with me because it seemed she was killed by some type of strange beast. her body was cleanly cut in half by some type of thin sharp claw. something the ice devil didn't have while the ice spirits had all taken the forms of snow owls...although it could just be some type of misunderstanding on my part what really killed her?"

Finn wanted some questions answered before he killed Marv just for the sake of it. Marv explained everything about how Alyssa's body was killed by a high-tier ice spirit. he still didn't mention anything about his system and just tried to keep a calm face as he talked. Finn after hearing Marv's story slowly nodded his head in acceptance as he sighed subtly.

"well...I guess it was insensitive of me to ask that...anyways, Mr Marvin, I think we both realize what you had seen before I brought you into this space. Unfortunately, I can't let you live after seeing me use my skills."

Marv was caught off guard by this and didn't react in time as a large golden longsword pierced through his chest.

it was quick and painless and Marv felt himself losing blood at a rapid pace.

he looked at Finn with scared eyes before he coughed up blood. his intestines felt twisted.

Marv fell to the ground unconscious as Finn just looked at him before looking at Alyssa's body. he wasn't too interested in her but he knew that her family would probably worry about her. he just walked away from Marv's body with Alyssa in tow as he was starting his chant to break the [void of silence].

it was at this moment Finn felt something was off. did he turn his head around sharply only to feel his hand...gone? he looked down to see his right hand on the ground and blood gushing out of his stump. he was shocked for a bit but not scared. he simply just injected some of his magic presence into his body and activated [saint's blessings] he felt the excruciating pain of his bones reforming and silently cussed a bit. all the while he stared at Marv who was now standing back up. the golden longsword had disappeared and a wide gaping hole was now on Marv's chest. the armour had been damaged and had cracks as blood constantly dripped and formed small streams as they flowed to the ground. Marv was now holding the crimson scythe in his hands with his eyes completely pitch-black.

Finn had his curiosity piqued as a wide grin appeared on his face. he knew what was happening right now. he had seen this skill before and it was called [death mode] only a select few could use this power and they first had to be...players.

{guess...I've got my answer on whether he has a system or not.}

Finn was not scared in the slightest as he formed a golden longsword in his now healed right hand. he made sure to watch Marv closely as he gripped the longsword's handle tightly. the longsword had a long wide blade that shone golden while there were a few carvings along the centre of the blade in Latin. Finn was not really that strong but if he activated his inheritance skill he could match the strength of a seven-star swordsman. but the requirements were that when he did he must make sure that all who witness it keep it a secret...if not he would permanently lose the skill.

so he mostly just killed them.
