" Jessica, have you heard anything from him before he slept? How did he come to be like that?", After Steven got down the stairs he asked his wife in an exhausted tone.
He got somehow anxious about his son's unnatural change. Capability aside, he was more uneasy about his interior transformation such as his disposition.
Leo was the TYPE who would constantly and fearlessly go directly into people's problems to help, even though he didn't reach the level of being a meddler, he was very near to that, although not in a bad way.
if there is a fight he would be the first to make an effort to stop it, not caring about the possibility that he may get hurt while doing so.
When asked about this, he would say "If I hadn't been confident of being able to get away from the fight safely, I wouldn't have involved myself.", he may not have realised that what he was proclaiming was not the truth, He would certainly got himself in danger, even if he can't ensure his safety. This is his nature And the true essence of the human called Leo lancer.
His motto is "Save those that are in front of you, that can be saved".
But, today he was unlike himself. Steven could swear, he felt a powerful murderous intent erupt from him, potent enough that it was about to materialise physically, or so he felt.

my friend Kein and other neighbours felt it as well. This had made them terrified of him, this again confirmed my thoughts.
"yes, he told me some of what occurred to him on his way here" Jessica too had an uneasy look on her beautiful face as she said this.
After a long stillness, she sighed then said in a soft voice, to not wake Leo upstairs, "Although I didn't figure out all, from what I heard he used his skill to gain the abilities of the ancient warrior "
"ancient warrior, something like a legacy?"
"yes, something like that," Jessica replied
"but that doesn't justify why he transformed like that, that bloodlust can't come out of nowhere!"
"as you said, it can't come out of nowhere." after taking a breath she said "When he inherits that warrior's abilities, he would also experience all that the warrior had gone through to get them, be it training, hunting, or even slaying. But for an individual who lived in a semi-peaceful period like this, these experiences were too much for him to deal with. That's why Leo's personality had been deformed a little like that"
"so he is now resisting his skill consequences", Hearing all that. Steven abruptly felt fear that what may come later of that room was not the son he had always known.
Jessica was also shaking since she seemed to have come to such a conclusion before he did.
He tried to cheer her up a little but he wasn't able to since his face revealed his true feelings.
So they only prayed that when he woke up he wouldn't become someone else, " but even if he changed, we can only accept that as he would always be our child no matter what happened to him. "
-------REIGN'S POV-----
{What the hell. I am witnessing right now. How can such an anomaly exist?}, Reign pondered as he saw, the Two-meter tall monster with jet-black skin, black horn and boulder-like muscles in front of him. That is also a lot physically stronger than even those who drank the level 2 potion, but that is the least of what is concerning him now.
Gun bullets, sniper bullets, rockets, tanks every kind of weapon won't work on him, no matter the number. this is also not the largest problem!!
As that monster proceeded forward a spiral domain followed him that grew with every step he took.
that domain transforms his surroundings to the shape of the star he came from obliterating Earth's natural texture.
Those who attempted to go to the other side found that with that transformation, the basic structure of the planet is changing, For instance, the oxygen content In that area could kill a human being in less than ten seconds. There may be other differences but that was the only thing that was realised now. Also, strangely only cold weapons can work against that monster.
A man named Kamal, who had gained the skill "Strength amplifying", felt the delusion that nothing could stop him, he prided himself as the strongest of those who attained a skill, he was not wrong at least FOR now, he was the strongest physical fighter.
when he saw the minotaurs he took a huge sword with him to fight.
The good thing is that even though he was fighting in that brown space domain that surrounded that monster, he wasn't poisoned by the high oxygen content as what was predicted, but that didn't make us happy for long.
It may be because the fellow only got his skill and strength in a very brief time, he didn't have, the technique to fight someone stronger than him, even though it was only a monster who didn't have a style or technique.
their weapons didn't even clash once, as all he did was run away, from the very fast and strong huge axe swings that were in the monster's hand.
After a short struggle, he was sent to his maker, as the monster had divided him into two parts.
The policemen and the soldiers who saw that couldn't help but turn their heads at the gruesome sight, some even puked what they had eaten before.
{ What the hell should we do now? }, I thought as I glanced at this scene.
{Guns, tanks, rockets and now, even our hope the strongest skill user had gone as well, without achieving anything.
whats next should we use? An atomic bomb!?, Not to mention how much humans would die from that, but the question now is, would it even work on that monster? 🤔"
The only thing that shows effect in harming that thing, is pure physical attacks by weapons like swords, and axes…., But even those are not very useful, they only leave him, with some small scars, as his body was strong enough to tank those attacks.
when it came to hot weapons, he wasn't just merely strong enough to ignore them, but before the attack, like that of bullets reached him it lost all its strength two meters near him, and then the bullet itself ceased to exist, so there is no proof, that the same wouldn't occur to an atomic bomb.
{But what should we do now? Even if that thing does not kill anyone in his way, as long as he walks and changes the world's basic structure or texture, we will all die.
This town at first, then the city, the country, the continent and eventually the whole world. At that time mankind will cease to exist. An answer needs to be found in a hurry otherwise, other nations all over the world will hear of this. and when they do, they will surely send all their mushroom bombs toward our heads, even if the likelihood of killing that monster is very tiny. But first, we need to withdraw from here. }
As we withdrew, I wanted to inspect one last thing I caught a glimpse of before ."Roy, come here for a moment", a young policeman, tall, with short brown hair, came after I shouted.
he is one of those who already drank the level 2 potion, and the skill he earned was [swiftness enhancement] as he came in front of me he saluted and then said "What would you like commander reign?" (roy)
Taking a deep breath, I said with a solemn face, "Roy, I would like to send you on a very important task" (regin)
"as long as I can do it commander I wouldn't hold back, so what do you require me to do" (roy)
{shouldn't you be saying times like this, something like, "I will do anything leave it to me commander", should I say youngsters these days are cunning, hahaha}, I thought as a smile couldn't help but emerge on my face, that faded very quickly when I recall what kind of condition we are in now.
"Listen well, Mr Roy, what I would want you to do now is to go there," I said, as I pointed my finger toward the minotaurs-looking monster.
"huh?" hearing my words, he looked dumbstruck. "Commander reign, can you please repeat what you have said, it seems my ears had failed me." (roy)
"No you didn't hear me wrong." (regin)
"If I didn't hear you wrong, then what? are you trying to send me to death?, even that man couldn't do anything, even though he was our strongest, would I do better than him?, let's even say that I did better than him, I would at most clash weapons with THAT thing once or twice, then die, my death will be meaningless " (roy)
"ah, stop..stop you should at least hear me out to the end, you are jumping to conclusions on your own" (regin)
"what do you mean?" (roy)
"Have I even asked you to fight That thing?" (regin)
"Thinking about it now, No, you didn't.but what should I do there if not to fight him?" (roy)
" When Kamal was about to fight before, he made a negligibly strange reaction, if one is not very concentrated, he wouldn't see that reaction" (regin)
"When? I didn't see anything?" (roy)
"It was before he penetrated that domain that encircled THAT thing, he unexpectedly looks at the air as if he got some status notice" (regin)
"so what you are trying to say, is that I should go there and see if whatever you saw was not only your fantasy right?" (roy)
"That's true, you can do that, with your ability, right?" (regin)
"yes if it's just that I can do it, running away is the only thing I am confident I will not lose to anyone, humph" (roy)
"don't say, like it's something to be very proud of idiot!" (regin)
"…" (roy)
"pfft-hahaha-haha", After that, we burst out laughing.
"...hahaha, then go. we don't have a lot of time to lose "
Roy didn't take long before he moved.
As he approached that monster, he also reacted identically to Kamal.
{ so something is going on there after all}, I thought as I examined Roy's reaction, which confirmed my prior theory.
After that, he evaded a few attacks from the axe, while using his skill to its full power. not long after, he fled toward me as the minotaur walked again as if nothing happened.
{it looks like it doesn't care about slaying at all, rather, its only purpose seems to be moving onward and wiping out everything that hinders this goal out of its way}, Is what I deduced after examining the monster's behaviour.
If it was another time, we would happily let him do so, but the more he advances, the faster we will all die.
When Roy appeared before me, he had the complexion of someone who saw the end.
Figuring out from his look that he didn't bring any good news, I braced myself and raised a question." what did you see th..."
Before I could say all that I wanted, he interrupted me with a crazy look in his eyes, "We are dead, it's the end."
"what do you mean?" (regin)
"We can't win against that thing no matter what we do, even an atomic bomb wouldn't scratch it"(roy)
"what the hell are you talking about, how is that even possible, tell me first what you saw"
after hearing all he had to say, I too couldn't help but say, "We are done for, this time for real."
