PATH TO ORIGIN

CHAPTER 11: CHAOS IN SOMBRE PART 2

LOCATION: BATTLEFIELD IN NORTHERN CASTLE OF SHUJA

"Who are you, kiddo?" Austin asks.

"Austin, please help us… no, please help me. I am Cody from America. Those GOUMAN tribe members massacred thousands of our people while we were just trying to help them in the annihilation process of NAN OGRES in the fields. I don't know why, but now these GOUMAN PLAYERS are trying to kill us. All my friends are already dead. Please help me escape from here," says the human PLAYER while begging for Austin's help.

Austin listens to him while staring at Vasen and his soldiers with fierce eyes, gripping the axe that was previously thrown by Vasen. Suddenly, the axe began to crumble into multiple pieces.

"What… What did you do?" Cody panics.

"Kiddo, get out of here; I'll stay here," Austin says, taking out his giant black hammer and resting it on his shoulder.

"What about you? They will definitely kill you," says Cody.

"Kill who? Me? Hahaha!" Austin laughed, his voice echoing like a thunderous roar.

Even the PLAYERS from the GOUMAN tribe are scared by the scene.

"That man is definitely dangerous. Everyone, be alert to his actions," Albo alerts everyone.

"HEY YOU HUMAN! YOU LOOK QUITE STRONG. YOU WILL DEFINITELY BE GREAT EXP MATERIAL! HAHAHAHA!" Vasen laughs at Austin with a mocking tone.

But surprisingly, Austin also laughs at his remark.

"Hahhahaha, I wish I could say the same for you, kid," Austin replies with a confident smirk.

"You dare! Soldiers, attack!" Vasen charges at Austin with his army.

"You American kiddo, run away from here and come back later to collect the bodies of your dead friends," Austin urges Cody, forcing him to flee the battlefield.

Once Cody leaves, Austin stares into the distance from where the GOUMAN PLAYERS are approaching. As the PLAYERS close in and surround him, Austin begins to analyze his surroundings and speaks.

"Hmm, 10... 20... 30... 50... 100... 200—228 to be exact. Quite a fascinating number you've got here," Austin says with a grin.

"Human warrior, you dare not take us seriously?" one of the GOUMAN PLAYERS retorts.

"We are from the warrior clan, the swords of the great king of SHUJA. You better not try any funny business here," Albo says with a prideful expression. At his remark, Austin merely smiles.

"You dare laugh at us? Soldiers, attack!" Albo orders.

At Albo's command, the soldiers charge at Austin from all four directions, leaving him no room to escape. Suddenly, the surroundings around Austin begin to distort; the ground and trees within his 10-meter radius start to crumble into pieces. Upon witnessing this, Vasen is shocked. "This power…"

All the soldiers panic and maintain a distance from Austin.

"Soldiers, don't be scared. This is just a facade; it's because of a skill. We can counter this with our skills. Don't be afraid to attack!" Albo encourages.

As he speaks, all the soldiers charge at Austin. Despite their fear, they have no choice but to trust their commander.

As they approach, Vasen suddenly realizes something. "NOOO... DON'T!" But it is too late.

All the soldiers charge at Austin, and as they enter his 10-meter radius, their bodies begin to sustain injuries—from scratches and slashes to bone fractures. As they draw closer to Austin, they start to lose their morale and will to fight, ultimately surrendering.

Seeing their broken spirits, Austin retracts his aura, which had been destroying the surroundings, and says, "You weak kids, I understand the burden of being pressured by your master, but that doesn't mean I will sympathize with you. You shall pay the price for your deeds."

"Shut up, you bastard! Just die!" Albo shouts, charging at Austin, who stands in the middle, surrounded by the soldiers who have collapsed or lost their will to fight, giving the impression of a one-man army.

"Oh, you poor soul," Austin says, pitying Albo as he grabs his spear and crumbles it into pieces. Seeing this, Albo quickly maintains his distance.

Suddenly, a huge wave of water surrounds Albo's body, and he shouts, "I was trying not to use this skill on you, human, but now you shall die! YAAAAAHHHHH!" With a quick surge of strength, he launches himself with a wave of water toward Austin.

But Austin only smiles and releases his aura again, only to find himself fully captured in a cage of water.

"Hahhha, human, now you will definitely die! I, who was favored by the gods, received this ultimate skill: KING OF HYDRO(S), and now you will die by my hand!" Albo laughs, seeing Austin trapped in the water cage.

Suddenly, a hand emerges from the water cage and quickly grabs Albo's face, smashing it into the ground. As a result, Austin is fully freed from the water cage.

As Austin stands free, he looks at Albo and scoffs, "Favored by gods, huh? You're quite a funny boy."

"What the hell are you???" Albo shouts, coughing out blood.

"I don't think it will matter now since you're going to die anyway," Austin says with a grin before crushing Albo's head into pieces, bringing the fight to a conclusion with Albo's death.

{ WARNING } { WARNING } { WARNING }

{ YOU HAVE KILLED A PLAYER FROM GOUMANA SPECIES }

Austin then stares at the collapsed soldiers, releasing his aura once more and starting to kill them one by one. Vasen is furious but powerless to stop Austin. Suddenly, he calls other troops from the castle to gang up on Austin.

Austin is on his last kill.

{ PENALTY IS UPDATED. YOU MUST ACCEPT IT }

"DECLINE," Austin says while finally killing the final GOUMAN warrior.

"STOPPPPP!! STOP, YOU PLAYER FROM ANOTHER LAND!" Suddenly, a voice calls out, and a cute rabbit appears from nowhere. The rabbit is adorable, wearing a black blazer, a bow tie, and a hat.

"Now, who are you?" Austin asks with a grumpy voice.

"YOU!!! YOU CAN'T KILL THESE PLAYERS! DIDN'T YOU READ ABOUT THE PENALTY? STOP THIS INSTANT OR ELSE…" the rabbit exclaims.

"Skip," Austin interrupts.

"WHAAA?" The rabbit is baffled.

"LOOKS LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW ME! I AM THE HELPER OF FIRST FLOOR PLAYERS! MY NAME IS…"

"Skip," Austin interrupts again.

"YOU HAVE TO LISTEN TO ME! MY NAME IS RABBIT, THE ADMINISTRATOR AND HELPER OF FLOOR 1! STOP AT ONCE OR YOU'LL FACE CONSEQUENCES!" the rabbit insists.

"Looks like the God who created the tower didn't even put effort into naming you. Why should I take you seriously?" Austin smirks.

"Lord Rabbit, we'll stop that Player from another land for you. You should rest easy," Vasen shouts from afar, leading a huge army.

"PLAYER VASEN, THANK YOU! PLEASE STOP HIM UNTIL I PUT HIM UNDER PENALTY!" says Rabbit.

"Stop me? What a cute dream," Austin replies, holding his hammer.

Suddenly, the army behind Vasen starts running toward Austin. But Austin doesn't flinch and quickly releases his "Passive skill: Area of Destruction," causing the area around him to break apart.

"Ohhhh, looks like you have a bigger army at your disposal—a whopping 1000+ soldiers," Austin remarks.

"THIS WILL BE YOUR END, HUMAN!" Vasen shouts from afar.

"Huhh, we'll see!" Austin smirks, and in an instant, he is surrounded by hundreds of soldiers to block any resistance.

Ten soldiers charge at Austin with the intent to kill. Austin quickly reacts, grabbing two soldiers by their necks and shattering them into multiple pieces before they can react.

"Ohooo, looks like you are significantly weaker than those previous Players he killed. It would be a speedrun, I guess," Austin smiles.

Immediately, Austin begins killing all the soldiers. Whenever they attempt to touch him, they are shattered into pieces due to Austin's Cosmic skill.

Vasen's face distorts as he witnesses the horrendous view of his brethren's dead bodies.

"Don't make that face; you started this and…" Austin says from afar before jumping at Vasen.

"NOW YOU SHALL PAY!" Austin shouts with a thundering voice.

On the other side…

"Khushi, what are you saying? We can't leave you alone; you didn't level up even a bit," Sankalp says with a worried expression.

"Young miss, why are you asking us to leave this place first? What do you wish to accomplish?" Aslan questions.

"President, why are you asking us to leave first?" another Player from Khushi's party asks.

"Please don't worry about me. I just wish to collect information about this world since I haven't killed any monsters or anyone from the tribesmen. I'll try to ally with this world's people for the future. Even now, hunting Nan Ogres for your progress is not an efficient way, since they are not giving that much EXP that they once did. After hunting for days, you weren't able to grow from level 9 to 10, which means there is a huge gap. It would be better if you guys took a rest, and I also have some tasks that can only be done in our real world," Khushi explains.

"And what is that?" Aslan questions.

"Assert dominance and take over the whole Player market and artifacts," Khushi replies.

"That's fine, but don't you need a bodyguard since you are only level 1?" Reyansh, who is still injured, asks.

"Did you forget who the president is here?" Khushi says with a smile.

"Hahahaha, apologies. We'll leave for now, but I will definitely come again to level up more," Aslan laughs, and after a while, Khushi's party starts leaving the tower.

After they leave, Khushi departs as well and eventually reaches a cave on the east side of the jungle.

Khushi begins to enter the cave, and at the end, she sees a crack in space itself, which is red in color, and it is a…

"GROWTH DUNGEON, huh? Looks like every world possesses these," Khushi says with a smirk.
