Adolf woke up abruptly in the middle of the night when he heard several loud sounds, he quickly came out of hiding and the scene that dazzled in the distance made his body numb, an army made up of dozens of burned knights from >< cleaned everything in their path, Adolf could see how the body of a goblin was instantly reduced to ashes by the burning knights.
Although Adolf possessed the tenacity of a cockroach, this only applied if there was something to heal!
'While it's true that I have the confidence to survive almost any injury... This is too much! It wouldn't last even a fraction of a second before there would be nothing left of me.'
Adolf made a quick decision and packed everything he could and needed before running off in the opposite direction of the burned knights, but wherever he went he was met by dozens of burned knights.
Although it hadn't been long since he came to this new world, Adolf had the confidence that he knew the outer ring of the city he was in very well, so he was able to move easily in the outer ring but compared to the burned knights. ..it was simply an insult to burnt knights to be compared to Adolf.
In addition, Adolf noticed that these did not seem to be the usual burnt-out knights, they were usually hunched over and had a not very energetic appearance, but at this moment it seemed that they had taken drugs, they were all surrounded by a deadly aura and the strangest thing was that as much as their armor and weapons burned slightly, but in the dead of night they looked as if they had come out of hell itself.
Adolf noticed that the burned knights were going from the farthest end of the outer ring to slowly approaching the intermediate ring of the city, with that Adolf could only flee in the direction of the intermediate ring, it was only a matter of time until they cornered him and ended his life .
His brain worked on him as fast as possible to find a way out of his situation but there weren't many options and the ones that were...were surely a different form of suicide.
Adolf grew more and more nervous the further he went into the city, along with the messages from the Gods that made his nerves stand on end.
[The Gods are amused by seeing your situation]
[The [Ruler of the Underworld] watches everything with boredom]
[The [Light of Eternal Glory] pray that your soul rests in peace]
Nor was it useful to see how the hundreds of burned knights closed more and more the distance that existed between them.
'Shit, I can only rely on that ability!'
Then Adolf stopped completely and then whispered the name of the ability, when that happened his body began to writhe as the change began, his skin turned grayish as it became rough, then his body began to shrink and shrink. be compressed
During this entire process, Adolf only felt that his body was transforming into something totally different, but he could not pay the necessary attention to discover what it was transforming into, since the pain he felt was immense, if it were not for "that" or crazy dare to use that ability.
After a couple of seconds Adolf had transformed into a small piece of rubble about 10 cm long and 5 cm wide, it was all due to a skill he had acquired along with his class change.
[The skill [Jester's Mischief] has been activated]
[The user's lifespan will be spent continuously while the skill is active]

[Jester's Pranks (Rank 3 - Level 1)]: Fun, games and jokes... mocks reality.

[Jester's Pranks] was a skill that Adolf had gotten when he class changed to [Nether Mage], it was an extremely powerful skill with enormous versatility but....the cost was also huge since Adolf's life was needed to activate it and keep it active.
It was truly a huge price but... if Adolf could continue living, what would a few days or months of his life be in exchange for being able to continue living? Looking at it from that point of view, it was a reasonable price for "cheating" reality.
Since at the end of the day everything in life carried a price, it was just that some were much bigger than others.
Adolf couldn't see or hear anything but he could feel the vibrations in the ground, he could feel how there was a great deal of activity in the usual silent city, he just stood still waiting for everything to come it will happen.
- - - - - - -
[The skill [Jester's Mischief] has been disabled]
[The skill was active for a total of 20 hours, 120 days will be reduced from the user's lifespan accordingly]
After the ability will stop being active, Adolf returned to his original form, but he felt that his body was strange, with difficulty he found a piece of iron where he could see his reflection, there he could see that he looked more emaciated and a little more malnourished, also something I hadn't noticed before that her eyes were no longer brown in color but were purple in color.
'Was it due to the class change or an unknown effect of the [Jester's Mischief]?'
Adolf could not find the answer.
But when it came time to read the system messages Adolf made a frustrated face, but no one could blame him for feeling that way since he had just lost almost four months of his life at any moment, it would be really impressive if Adolf I didn't feel anything and could stay calm.
After calming down Adolf began to explore the city, with what happened the night before there must have been changes in the outer ring, but the more he walked he could only find mana stones on the ground, Adolf immediately realized that they were the mana stones that the goblins dropped.
'There weren't even any traces of the goblins left other than the manastone...?'
Adolf could feel his scalp go numb at the thought.
The more Adolf explored the more he realized that almost nothing had changed in the outer ring apart from some debris scattered on the ground there was no difference, Adolf just in case continued exploring to find out about all the changes that happened in the outer ring without no matter how insignificant they are.
But while he was investigating he heard a sound with which he was very familiar, he quickly hid behind some rubble and after a dozen seconds a figure appeared in his field of vision, it was a burnt knight carrying a great ax but the more Adolf looked at him the more strange it seemed.
In her memories, the burnt knights always had an intimidating and oppressive aura around them, their gait although it seemed careless did not show the slightest openness and it showed that it was capable of reacting to any attack, but at the moment none of that could be seen. , the intimidating and oppressive aura was not present and his walk seemed weak and limp, Adolf could see several openings and also noticed that the burnt knight would find it extremely difficult to react to a surprise attack.
Adolf wondered why behind this but when he saw his name he knew why.
[Burnt Knight of >< (Level ???) (Weakened)]
Seeing this, Adolf came up with the idea of progressing in his mission granted by the [Ruler of the Underworld], this was an opportunity that could not be seen for a long time and Adolf naturally thought of seizing it.
'Although my body was not in its optimal condition, it is still better than that of the burned knight.'
With that Adolf took a few breaths to calm down.
When the burn knight was in the place that Adolf wanted, he launched a surprise attack, the burn knight noticed the incoming attack and tried to move his body as usual but failed to do so, Adolf's attack hit his helmet and forced him back. Two steps.
Adolf took advantage of this to create a suitable distance between himself and the burned knight, they both looked at each other for a couple of seconds before both ran towards each other.
The burnt knight swung his ax towards Adolf's head, Adolf upon seeing this stepped back a few steps out of the ax's reach but at that moment the burnt knight loosened his grip on his axe, it was in the blink of an eye. in front of Adolf's head.
Adolf's pupils trembled violently at the same time that they contracted to the size of a pin, at the moment when he was going to impact Adolf directed his gaze towards the burned knight, more specifically in his hands and there he could see him, the burned knight holding with a single hand on the "fist" of his ax handle.
At that moment, a fleeting thought crossed Adolf's mind.
'Isn't that the same technique that spearmen use?'
Adolf knew that sometimes spearmen would hold their spear in the "fridge" for longer range but he would never have imagined the knight would employ the same technique but with his axe, Adolf could only curse his lack of experience as the top half of his head it was sliced.
The cut was extremely clean and the burnt knight believed that he had finished everything but mysteriously Adolf's body moved and grabbed the burnt knight's arm to later throw, the burnt knight fell heavily on the ground.
Adolf raised his leg and was about to launch an attack when the burnt knight's helmet moved his hands and hit Adolf's other leg, Adolf lost his balance and fell to the ground right next to the burnt knight.
The burn knight could watch as the [Chaos Bugs] finished healing the top of Adolf's head, Adolf's bloodshot eyes stared directly at the burn knight for a couple of seconds before both of them rolled in opposite directions.
When Adolf got up he noticed that the burned knight had already prepared to launch his next attack, rather Adolf noticed that the burned knight was making his next attack.
Adolf clucked in annoyance before closing the distance between himself and the burn knight, the burn knight noticed this and deftly changed the trajectory of his ax without losing the slightest bit of strength and power.
Adolf's eyes were tinted with disbelief when he saw this because he knew that this was impossible, if someone abruptly changed the trajectory of his attack he would lose almost if not all of his strength and power, what the burned knight just did was simply unthinkable.
Seeing that the ax was getting closer and closer to impacting his body, Adolf stopped and when the ax was close enough, he hit her on the side, diverting its trajectory, but that was not all, since after that Adolf grabbed the helmet of the burned knight to later hit him with his knee in a jumping attack.
The burnt knight staggered but did not move back and instead grabbed Adolf's leg, when Adolf noticed it it was too late, the burnt knight lifted him up before letting him fall hard against the ground again and again, Adolf felt that his body was destroyed but couldn't care less, his mind was totally focused on finding a way out.
Suddenly an idea flashed in his mind and without delay he executed it, he used his free leg to gain momentum and turn to then hit the burnt knight's helmet, he released Adolf's leg before taking a few steps back.
Adolf fell heavily to the ground after not being able to land correctly, his gaze went to the leg that the burned knight was holding, it was pointing to a place that it shouldn't at the same time that its appearance was the same as a spring, Adolf looked at it impatiently for a few seconds before it will rotate and return to its original appearance.
When Adolf was about to stand up, he felt that they were holding his head, before he could even process what was happening, a knee connected perfectly with his face, Adolf took advantage of the momentum to get up and walk away a few steps. .
His nose had been fractured, then he spat out a small amount of blood that contained several teeth but in less than a second all that damage had healed.
The burned knight did not think to give Adolf time to recover and immediately swung his ax diagonally, Adolf was able to react to the attack but his body was not fast enough to dodge it and a large wound that went from his left shoulder to the right side of his waist, the wound was so deep that the bone could be seen and a large amount of blood was constantly coming out.
But just like the previous times the [Chaos Bugs] wriggled inside Adolf's body and in a second his wound had disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place.
This time neither the burnt knight nor Adolf took another step as they were sizing each other up.
'I knew that even though the burnt knight was in a weakened state it would not be easy to deal with but this is too much, could it be that he had underestimated his strength or has my pride and arrogance grown?'
This fight would be quite difficult if Adolf hadn't completed his class change, because thanks to this some of his skills mutated and one of these skills was [Chaos Bugs].

[Chaos Bugs (Rank 1 - Level 1)]: Chaos Bugs originate from the abyss, their origins are mysterious and there is no record of how or when they were born. Like their birthplace, the chaos bugs are considered heresy. Chaos bugs will be hostile to anything but the user.
*To heal wounds, [Chaos Bugs] will use the user's muscle mass as a medium.
*The amount of muscle mass used is proportional to the wound.
* Weak points such as the brain or the heart will cease to be so.
* As long as you have muscle mass you can heal any wound.
*Health increases by 30 points
- - - - - - -
In exchange for losing the attached skill [Undying Body] the [Chaos Bugs] gained the ability to heal any wound as long as Adolf possessed muscle mass, theoretically as long as Adolf possessed muscle mass it wouldn't be strange to say that he was immortal.

As much as the "fist" as the "regatón" are the parts of their respective weapons.
