Chapter 6 - first rift (cero morado)

『thank you for 3k views』

"thank you for you're help granpa" I say hugging him "of course. it's only natural I help my grandson on his first few rifts, besides usually F-ranks need a supervisor at least D-ranked, and it'll be fun watching my grandson do something wrong for the first time" leo giggles "here take this ring, if you put some mana into it it'll open, it has some basic gear and potions in it" he says pulling a ring and and tossing it *zip* it zooms to my hand the instant it goes into the air "look at you and you're fancy soul techniques" he smirks " I just wrapped the ring in reiatsu and pulled, you can do the same with mana" I shrug as I feel the texture of the gem

"you have an abnormal amount of control kiddo" he says as he makes a ball of mana In his hand "lets see who's is better" I make a ball of soul energy, at first it started with basic shapes, then it developed into textures, people , vapor, and moving it back and forth freely, I decided to try to one-up him by pushing reiatsu through my heart and veins. he loses control of his mana the instant he sees this, after a couple minutes i open my eyes to see him stareing at my heart "kiddo, I gotta say, you are a monster. I've never seen someone learn soul and body fortification so quickly, and without help" he says as he pours mana into me "remember this feeling, if you can control it it'll be all the better for your techniques" I close my eyes and embrace myself in the feeling,

we arrive at a public rift that's bustling with stands and shops spread out "you're first rift is the one recommended to all beginners, its simply called goblin forest, don't show too much but don't look useless " he pats my back lets meet you're team now".

"omg it's leo" "look at that, an A-class mage escorting, just what did that kid pay him?" "I bet it's a favor between the kids dad and leo" gossip like such flew fast at the sight of a 60 year old A-class mage escorting a emo looking teen who's only looking at a expensive looking ring, he was following leo's magic signature based on pure instinct, trying to find the technique to control mana. after 10 minutes I finally grasped the method to control mana •skill learned, Mana manipulation 5%• 'hey system shorten all manipulation skills to control' •success•

"here we are kiddo" he pats my shoulder "hi I'm Daniel, I'm a E-ranked warrior" the teen in front introduced "I'm alma, a F-ranked cultivator" I respond with a light bow "im may, a F-ranked cultivating warrior" a teen with blue eyes and a turtle neck bows in response "im marcus, a F-ranked mage" a small timid looking boy responds "and im leo your supervisor and a A-class mage and B-class cultivator" leo bows respectfully " I look forward to your performance" ' an A-class mage? just how good are this alma kids connections?' Daniel thinks.

after we entered the rift granpa disappeared. 'system, im gonna call you as sage' •affirmative• 'sage, activate concealment of the lowest hollow' •success• "don't be surprised but my soul body looks a bit demonic" I warn as I sit cross legged in the forest "sure, just dont use a berserker skill" may warns *sha* I separate my soul "you gonna freak out like last time?" I ask as I pat her shoulder, she spins around and *pow* I'm sent flying into a local tree "ow, what is with you people and attacking me, I even warned you beforehand" I complain as I get off the ground "holy shit man, don't scare us like that, I thought you were a corrupt soul" Daniel responds, realizing I was the "hollow" they attacked

" let's try this again...hello, I'm alma nueva, a cultivator and a hollow, I was trying to warn you beforehand as my appearance is quite shocking at first sight" I bow once again "also it's not nice to attack on first sight, first on the street then in a rift, what's your deal, little turtle?" I ask as I approach the group

"you're not human so I don't have to follow any human laws regarding you, besides I might even get rewarded for killing you" she says as she pops her knuckles "what are you saying?" Daniel asks confused. "he's a vasto lorde, he stole somebody's body and ate their soul, isn't it obvious?" he even showed me his panel" she called out as she charged a orange energy in her fists "race open"•race:Vasto Lorde [transcendent]• a deep rumble filled the air as reiatsu gathered "cero" *pow* after they dodged the cero i ran behind Daniel with the footwork of sonido and slammed my heel into his head, even without the speed boost, it was still at least twice as fast as normal "stand down" I say as a cero the size of a softball gathers in each hand and point them at the split group, with may alone and Daniel and Marcus at the other "calm down now, let's not act rashly" may says as she raises her hands "dont move, move again and I blast everybody here to pieces" I respond coldly as a third cero gathers in my chest cavity "you swung first so dont blame me for this" I gather mana at the cero in my chest, it turned purple with red and blue stripes " hey leo, you don't care if I bind them right?" I shout openly *shhh* "I don't mind, as long as you all come out alive" leo replies as he appears behind me "I cancel he cero pointing at may, the instant it goes out she charges at me "cero morado" I whisper "you'll pay for that. weighted strike" *THUD* her hand strikes heavy on my neck

"HAHAHAHAHAHA, wow, ¿realmente detuviste tu propio corazón por mí? Estoy complacido, te dejaré experimentar este poder." everyone looks in shock as the purple cero fired right through my own heart, leaving a gaping black edged hole in its place"déjame mostrarte cómo uso este cuerpo" *POW* may is sent flying and Dan and Marcus, Dan shoves marcus and dodges *dun* "deberías mirarme a mí, no a ella" *Pow* dan is sent flying into marcus "vamos, incluso me contuve. ¿Eres tan débil? y aquí estaba yo, esperando una pelea REAL" he sends dan may and marcus flying back and forth like a game of badminton.

after they were covered in bruises and had a couple broken bones he knocked them into a group again "please forgive us, we were ignorant of your power" the two of them begged, he left marcus alone for the most part as he was too timid to do anything, only leaving him with a bruise from when Daniel shoved him, as I point at the three of them a red ring appears around them "SELLO DEL REY" the red ring contracted until they were all snugly squished together *dun* "marcus, you know a healing spell right?" he ask as I grab the ring "y-yes" he nods "good, then heal me" I pull him out of the ring by the arm "it doesn't need to be fully healed, just non fatal" I gesture to my slumped body that only just started bleeding "I was able to continue the blood flow with reiatsu but its not perfect, if you heal me till it's non fatal you go free" he immediately starts chanting, a circuit of mana was manifesting infront of him, "now, let's get this over with.

○30 minutes later○

"i-its done, its n-no longer fatal" he stutters " thank you, and "reiatsu sanar", reiatsu flowed into him and his bruise faded as if it was never there "lets hangout sometime" I lined up with my body "t-thank you" he bows, he was aware that the goblin forest should have been more full, I kept most of them away while he was at work "here's my granpas number if you need help, and mine if you wanna hang or you're getting bullied" I say handing him 2 slips of paper

□outside the rift□

so how high are you at? leo asks the both of us "5%" I respond looking at my panel "3%" marcus answers with his head low "good job, most people don't even get that at a rift, mostly because they try splitting the load between too many people" "makes sense, also he killed 3 goblins, most of his exp was from healing" I respond pointing at my mostly healed heart that was clearly visible as the shirt around it was destroyed in a perfect circle "so why is the injury so big if you had a healer?" he asks seeing the destroyed area

"I activated a berserker skill, but the condition was that my heart stop beating, I couldn't keep 2 cero and manually stop it, so I blew it out of this world" I shrug again "I call Sella of the forest to heal my target, weak heal" a faint light wrapped around my chest, the next moment the skin was healing at a visable rate "thanks granpa, oh before I forget it I healed marcus, could you evaluate?" after using magic to analyze "good job you were able to learn faint heal this quickly" he nods "I didn't learn faint heal, I made a skill called reiatsu sanar" I say as I project the new skill too him

•reiatsu sanar: 5% turns the reiatsu in your body into blood or organs, at the highest level you could bring sombody back from the dead even if all that's left of them is a fingernail•

"damn kiddo, that's one hell of a trick" he nods "lets head back now, if you still want to attempt the rift then find a open instructor" he points to the instructor break building, then he shifts his hand to the bound up teens "what about them?" "after all my reiatsu is recovered it'll disappear, that's why i fired cero before leaving, I didn't need to use it to beat the rift" I say as I pull a knife out of the ring "though it would have been easier to use this to solve my problems" I borderline brandish the knife at them " thanks for the help Marco I'll be sure to call when I do my next rift" I wave as he stares at the numbers I gave him.
