Chapter 9 - Chapter no.8 Mask

(AN - I changed the clothes design a bit, made it a bit more monochrome)

Just as the meeting ended I immediately left, and headed to the forest and going into a cave that had a giant metal door, as I entered I took a black rock from a bag I had on my waist, and as I took it out the rock began exuding a hateful aura, it was something called "Demon Quartz" it was made after a large amount of negative emotions were gathered around stone, that was all I was able to find out using my status as equipping it hurt my soul and I immediately unequipped it, the equipping mechanism I found out about recently, it allows one to find out about the equipped item, for example when I have my swords in my hands I equip them, moving back to the Demon Quartz, I found it in the bag I had it in, it somehow was able to suppress it's aura, and as such I took out a knife and started carving, even though it was painful I was excited, it may have been my race's instinct, but this kind of battle was exciting, it felt so good trying to best something out of my league, out of my area of expertise, and so I carved the rock and carved my cares away, even if my arms felt weak, and my knife was degraded, I sharpend it and continued, I felt it's power, and wanted to take it down and as I carved, and my soul was in pain, it all went away, the pain was healed and my hands refreshed I heard

[Acquired new resistance, ]

"? for that to be my first resistance is kinda funny"

I said but then I heard the voice again

[Acquired new skill, ]

"Well the skill is quite good for what I'm doing right now"

I said and continued to carve, and as what felt like days passed, and determined to subdue the stone I crafted a mask it was a white mask because the inside was surprisingly white, the mask could cover my entire face, and the bottom of the mask had what looked like an upper set of teeth, it had two eye holes that exactly fit me, it was a flat mask that made the person wearing it look faceless, and so I started painting it, and what would I paint it with? Well what do you think I should use for the mask to recognise me, my blood obviously, I cut my wrist with my sword and started pouring it into a bucket, I made a spike like stripe that reached the bottom of the mask going across the left eye hole, and a line going across from the right side of the mask, going across the eye holes, making a really cool red cross and used my air control to dry it, and as if the hateful aura was never there it disappeared, and it seemed to accept me and when I put it on I fell asleep, knocked unconscious, I awoke in a dream, I was in a shed it looked very creepy and ugly, like someone just pulled the space and ...twisted it, it was as if the prospective made the dream in the bed above me was a cup that looked giant when I sat up in the bed just normally but when I tried to grab it it was incredible close, it messed with my head, twisted space and everything mattered on perspective, when I uncovered the window, I saw an empty abbys of pure white, the house consisted of the room I'm in, and only that room, and as I was about to open the door I heard a voice different form the one that announced my skills

"....ke up"

"Wake up!"

"WAKE UP!"

As the third one came the house disappeared, and I was in the white abyss

"WAKE UP PLEASE"

"PLEASE, DON'T DIE THIS EARLY"

as this finished I heard irregular thums and beats, and was overwhelmed by a hateful intent

as came the intent I was suddenly awake I saw Rimuru in relif and then in complete shock as if questioning my actions almost a mix of confusion and shock

================Rimuru PoV===============

I just ran over because my son hasn't returned for a day, sometimes he does go out like this but it usually is only for half a day experimenting, but this time I found him in Veldoras cave, he was there asleep, wearing a mask full of hateful aura, passed out, I screamed at him to wake up, thinking he was going to die, but when he awoke I was relieved when he seemed to still be alive, but that immediately changed to complete shock when he woke up, his eyes were pure black as if they were not even there, and shouted out

"WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR EYES?!"

but I failed to get a response, it was as if he was mute, he just sat there confused, tilting his head witch made him look dead

And after a minute he asked in a low voice

"what do you mean? where is my mask?"

I just pointed at it, not making a sound and he said

"Okay, that is one answer, now what about the other one"

and I responded

"y- your eyes, are pure black"

then for a moment as if looking at something in front of him he answered

"I think it's a new skill"
