"Answer me!" I said while glaring at Vassago.
'I just completely lost my will to fight.... I thought of him as a family, someone I 'should' take care of and 'should' help him unconditionally, I felt like I had someone, someone whom I could call a family, but... Vassago ruined it, the family I just had shattered in front of me.... completely....'
'F**k! Why did I have to remember them now?'
I remembered of 'my,' Eshwar's family from before I transmigrated to this world, though I don't remember their faces, I definitely remember how precious they were to me, though they are now only a memory...
'let's take out the 'only' because that memory is too precious to be called 'only'... Though, now the same precious memory hurts unimaginably....'
"Haa..." I sighed and looked up to hold back the tear that threatened to be shed.
"Hahaha... A family my a*s." I chuckled at my own stupidity.
'Why would 'I' have a family? Why would anyone...' I tried to cut my thoughts off because I suddenly remembered their panicked faces which were frozen into a light blue crystal which I had to strike down and bury them with my own hands to give them a proper rest and..... how many times I did the 'same' thing...
Suddenly, a thunder bolt struck in my head, I snapped my head down to face Vassago who was trembling, slightly.
"You! You used your authority." I glared at him.
'The authority, I granted him, the authority of kindness!'
"Hahaha, f**k! I'm so sorry, I didn't know it would feel like this..." I looked up, covered my eyes with left hand and apologized for the characters that had to go through this because I created it.
Though nobody has been through that yet, I still felt guilty for creating that stupid authority. Because unlike traits and skills, authorities can't be resisted by normal means. To resist an authority the other should also have an authority of the same level or higher.
"If I could, I want to get rid of you right now, but one of my 'kids' is your host, so I can't even do that...." I mumbled with a sigh.
"Hahaha, should I just get rid of him? I can't believe you made me remember the memories I'm trying to forget...." I snapped my head down and glared at him through the gap between my fingers.
HISSSS
The massive snake coiling around me hissed in response to my call, and my intent to kill had reached the halfway point because I hoped to keep my sanity and not go berserk.
"Frosty skewers." I muttered.
SHING (6x)
Light blue ice spikes protruded from my feet, heading towards Vassago, who dodged by sidestepping.
The only reason I muttered out loud is that the type of skill I'm going to use is to make it sturdy, work, and move the way I want it to. Because the greater the strength and clarity of the imagination, the greater the skill produced.
"Though, slaughtering stronger opponents has its own fun, it doesn't work for me when there is only one opponent, so you better go all out or the moment I get bored is the moment you die." I said while glaring at Vassago.
"Frosty step." I muttered and took a step, freezing the ground with every single step.

SWOOSH (3x)
With each step I took, a knee-length octagon-shaped foothold formed beneath my foot as I walked up. I opened my hands wide as pale purple mana flitted around them before dagger-like blades materialised, which I clenched and threw at Vassago. With each release, they created a circle of wind pressure while leaving a wind and white trait behind them.
"Ack! F**k!" Vassago grunted as one of my ice daggers pierced his right shoulder and another only left a cut on his cheek because he dodged it by jerking his head to the right.
KRAT-KAT-TAKKRAT (2x)
Black lightning flitted on both of Vassago's arms before he launched them at me, I dodged the attack by jumping in air.
ZKRAT-ZRAT (2x)
WHOOSH
"I guess not all strong people are smart! Because you can't dodg...." Vassago started to talk with a wide grin, but I cut him short.
"Because I can't dodge in mid-air?" I scoffed at him.
"You!" He glared at me as six small portal-like disks of black lightning formed around him, 2 above his head, 1 on each shoulder and one on each elbow.
ZZZZING-ZZZZAP (6x)
KRAT-RAT (6x)
Six arrow heads appeared above the black lightning discs and shot out at the speed of sound, with chains lengthening the attack's range and speed increasing the damage caused by both weight of magic and materialization.
ZZWWWOOOSHHH (6x)
BAM- CRACK (6x)
Air around me thickened and turned visibly white as I stepped on it and dodged while taking a step to dodge every single one of them, I was about to land and run on the black lightning chains, but realized that they, too, were made off of his magic and I would be damaged if they touched me.
I, abruptly, waved my left hand before landing on the chains, materialised snowflakes beneath my foot, and jumped forward before making any contact with those chains. I glared at Vassago while lunging towards him, but he suddenly grinned as he held out his left arm out and clenched it.
"Boom." He mumbled.
Only then did I notice that his left hand had healed; I definitely broke his left forearm, but he healed it? He was getting used to Vinny's body and it would be dangerous if he gets too comfortable with Vinny's body, which means that his control and the void's restraints on Vinny were getting stronger and that Vinny was getting comfortable in his slumber.
CRA-CRACK (8x)
I noticed that the mana cruising through the chains was overloading and would explode if I wasn't quick enough, so I took a step, sidestepped, and turned around to run back, but before I knew it, I was already coiled in between the black lightning chains.
"Well sh*t!"
KRATZ-ZRAT (5x)
BOOM
