***Rev That night NoTe got back to the place late. For the rest of time I would always regret asking him if he was good. But I didn't I just went back to sleep. For that I was a horrible brother.
I woke up the next morning and went immediately to training. I don't know how to get stronger. We've been stuck in area 2 for 2 weeks. My marksmanship is already at its best. I can only get so much experience while training with NoTe. We need to quickly get to area 3.
I go up to NoTe and say. " We need to keep moving let's not stay in area 2 for too long"
He nods his head in agreement and gets up. We grab our bags and leave. We run towards the train.
In all of the areas there is a train that goes through them. The easiest way is to sneak on it instead of paying for it. However that means you gotta sleep around the dead animals and other corpses.
NoTe hasn't said anything all morning. He's probably analyzing fighting styles in his head. Since the fights in area 4 are recorded live he's already made plans for most of their fighting styles. Since he only needs to see a style once to analyze it and make a defense against it.
While we've been on the train NoTe has been trying to teach me a different way to use mana.
Forcing me to condense the flames tight enough to turn them into a high powered laser. He's also been working on using the chains to combine with his fighting style.
4 days go by and we make it to area 3. We hop off the train because the train stays in each area for 2 weeks before leaving again.
We came to area 3 for one reason only and that is to get stronger. We need more experience especially me. Beating NoTe once isn't good enough.
" How should we get experience here?" I asked NoTe.
"Find someone and just piss them off. We are in area 3 everyone here wants to kill each other." He responds.
" Let me know if you encounter an enemy you can't handle" He said.
We split are separate ways for the next 2 weeks. I grab my guns and start hunting. I walk into a bar since I know there will be bad people here.
I walk up to a dude who's almost my size and i'm 6'6. I spill a drink on him and he gets mad really mad. I guess I was looking down on him too much. He threw a left hook at me but I couldn't dodge in time so I had to block it.
However even though I blocked it the punch still sent me flying through 3 walls. I run after him and enter close combat with my guns. This dude was stronger than I thought but he isn't stronger than me.
Getting hits on him is easy but he has some crazy endurance. Actually I think he's been getting stronger every time I landed a hit.
Which if that's true then he is a berserker. Stitch taught us about them. Berserkers get stronger by getting angrier and getting hit more. However the person who uses that skill loses all sanity.
While in berserk form. I back up and go long distance. That doesn't do anything though. He blitz's me from behind and hits me with a liver kick. I knew it would hurt but I didn't know how bad. I almost threw up just from the pain. The berserker fucked up though. He let his guard down.
As soon as he let his guard down I released the condensed laser bomb I been working on. The longer I condense it the more lasers come out. The lasers eviscerated his body not even leaving ashes. It took a second to get used to the change in his stats because of the berserker trait. Maybe I should take off the 90 kg weights NoTe been making me wear on each limb. They slow me down a lot It makes the gravity feel weird. I need to be able to condense the lasers faster. I wonder if I can put multiple laser bombs in one big fire ball. I leave the bar and walk around until I see a clinic. I walk inside to see how it is since the building looks abandoned.
" Do you need health assistance?" A man in the darkness asks.
" No I'm just here to look around this was my teachers old job." I respond.
" You mean Stitch? No way your Stitch's student" He says back.
" My brother and I both spent years under his tutelage" I say.
" Well if that's true then your welcome here anytime. I'll heal your injuries for free. " The man in darkness says.
" What's your name by the way?" He asks.
" My name is Rev Doom what's yours?" I say back
" You can just call me Jack" He says.
" Ok nice to meet you Jack" I say.
I walk around the building for a while. It is pretty run down the only area that is clean is the doctors area. The only problem is the doctors area isn't separated from the rest. I start to feel jacks bloodlust leak through his aura.
So I ask him. " Hey how did you know I was Stitch's student?" As soon as I say that he attacks me but I dodge it.
" How did you know I wasn't a real doctor?" He says while moving around like a snake.
" I have no words for the dead" I respond. I take a stone pillar out the wall and throw it at him.
He seems to be better for assassination than actual combat. It's fine though. He's not bullet proof. I bring out a machine gun and start blasting.
I hoped he would be faster but he got ripped to shreds all the same. He was weak these enemies aren't strong enough. I need to walk into a lions den
