Chereads / System in an Apocalyptic World / Chapter 30 - Chapter 29: The King of Harmony.

Chapter 30 - Chapter 29: The King of Harmony.

A bloody head was laid on a tablet with a star like symbol connected with lines. In the middle was a crist of a uneven circle.

After the head was laid down a screeching noise of rocks  rubbing against metal could be heard. It was the sound of a door that had been closed for a millennium being open.

Kris stepped inside the room that the door concealed. His left hand was left in blood of a human and was dripping as he walked into the room.

Inside the room was blank without any decorations or designs. The only unique structure in the cave-like place was a stone throne with human sized statue seated on it.

"I guess this is the King of this place? What am I suppose to do here?" Kris inquired to himself with a hint of confusion.

Suddenly the sound of stone shattering and crumbling engulfed a section of the room. The statue was falling apart.

Actually it was uncovering its hide that was bound against it for centuries. Inside the hide was a metallic figure. It was like a robot, but was a blank figurine that would be used to show off clothing. With diamond-like skin that shined in-between the rough.

"It's emitting Mana?" Kris muttered once again.

His golden eyes were activated. He saw purple, glowing lines moving about in its body. What was strange and unique was the other colors that were secondary in length. Cyan, brown, green, blue and red.

Spirit - Cyan.

Insect - Brown.

Human - Green.

Monster - Blue.

Demon - Red.

Calamity - Purple.

It was emitting the energy of a Calamity-Grade creature and Kris knew it without looking at its Status and Attributes.

Kris frowned even further than he already had.

He said, "A another easy foe-?" But he was then cut off.

In an instant, a being held his face with a mighty grip that threaten to crush Kris entire head.

From the throne came the King of Harmony.

"What? This thing is Calamity-Grade?"

The King than lifted Kris off the ground and then slammed him into the floor. A large crater was formed with debris flying into the air

"And it is overpowering me at that?!"

The metallic body of the King shined as bright as it could in the poorly lit place.

[-6,002 HP]

[Health Points: 35,993,998/36,000,000]

"Arghh!" Kris then groaned as he coughed out blood from his mouth.

The King without wasting time whined up another legal blow aiming towards Kris's head. Before it launched the attack, it empowered it fist.

[Passive Skill:

True Omniscient Soul Appraisal - Mystical/Level 2 → 3]

[Warning]

[Active Skill:

God's Aura - Legendary/Level 5 (MAX)]

Kris quickly got up to his feet and tried to retreat.

He was too late as the King lined up the punch and tossed it at his head accurately.

[Active Skill:

Instantaneous Acceleration - Unique/Level 5 (MAX)]

Kris speed then increased as he ducked and then retreated.

He had to activate his Skill to barely dodge the attack.

After the punch missed, a after math occured. Without making any impact to any surface except the air, it managed to leave a devastating shockwave that still managed to hurt Kris.

[-11,000 HP]

[Health Points: 36,004,998]

"Damnit. I dodged but still managed to take damage?" Kris inquired to himself plainly.

The King twisted its head towards Kris, then charged at him at full speed.

Kris pulled back his hand and then strike the King on its chin, sending its head upward. He then followed up with Efriet slashing at the left side of its neck and Eden at the left. He then kicked the King in the stomach, sending it staggering back a little.

"No dice?"

All Kris's attacks seem to be pointless as now look to do major damage. Not one slash made a scratch on its body but it would still affect its Heath.

Kris didn't back down. He dashed towards his target and landed a kick to the side with his right foot and followed with a powerful knee strike to the face.

The King taking advantage of Kris being airborne first gripped him by the thigh and then slammed his upper into the ground. Then the King smashed his face on with a barrage of heavy punches, killing him.

But that was not the end.

[You have died!]

[+1 All Stats!]

[+1 Attributes Points!]

In the void, Kris was shocked, though he didn't show it physically. Fighting such a powerful opponent would have given him more Points that would aid him in combat.

"The hell?"

[You are alive!]

"What? How can this thing be Spirit-Grade and is releasing Mana as a Calamity-Grade creature?" Kris inquired to himself with a full expression and a hint of confusion.

***

Stat Oblivion.

A skill that the System doesn't grant the user but the user grants to themselves. Like a cheat.

This Cheat can be unlocked by utilizing the numbers in ones Attributes. In return, turning zero into one and turn one into ten, and turning ten into a hundred, etc.

This can only be achieved if one understands their own Stats and utilizes the System instead of the System utilizing them.

The reason it is called Stat Oblivion instead of Stat Understanding is because one would have to destroy the structure of the System made and create their own. Turning a blind eye to what system was already set in place, forgetting about it.

It was one of the three sub-branches that made up the Cheat Status Immersion.

Kris couldn't achieve this at the time because he didn't entirely believe that the Attributes he had was his own.

[Warning]

[Passive Skill:

Eternal Armor - Mystical/Level 5 (MAX)]

After a while, the King's body was engulfed into an even more majestic hide that masked its already diamond-like skin. Its body was now releasing a divine aura that suffocated the room with its dominance and power.

"Bullshit," Kris said plainly.

He charged at the King. This time with a new approach.

[You have returned x2 Daggers (Eden & Efriet)]

[You have extracted x1 Katana (Transcendent)]

"Since my daggers can't cut your skin, I use this to cut you to debris."

[Active Skill:

Instantaneous Acceleration - Unique/Level 5 (MAX)]

Kris paced sped up.

He slashed the King on his chest with which made a shockwave that make the room crumble slowly under the pressure of the power clash.

The skin of the King than cracked and broke off as Kris dragged his weapon off its Skin.

Kris then unleashed a series of a slashes on to the Kings body, each increasing in power. The last and finally blow cut right through the Kings armor and sliced the entire cave into half.

It seems as if Kris has yet to fully utilize the power of his own Weapons.

"Finally, some results," he said.

The King then raised his hand and flicked him away simply as if he was a fly. Kris crashed into the walls behind him without stop. This fight was being carried even further underground.

[Active Skill:

Zone - Legendary/Level 5 (MAX)]

[Active Skill:

Speed Power - Mystical/ Level 5 (MAX)]

The King's power and sovereign increased as it activated its first Skill - Zone - which increased its power by two hundred percent for three minutes without special requirement to active.

The King then appeared above Kris as he was flying away in the rough. It strike Kris with its knee but Kris managed to block it with his Katana.

"Ow," groaned Kris sarcastically.

[Passive Skill:

Weapon Guard - Rare/Level 1 → 3]

The impact still manage to damage Kris and it sent him even deeper into the rough.

He then emerged in another cave after he was knocked out of the rough and landed harmfully on the ground.

The King also emerged. He grabbed Kris by the face and dragged him against the ground without stop while running.

[Active Skill:

[Active Skill:

[You have extracted x2 Daggers (Eden & Efriet)]

"Time to turn up the inferno and the frost."

Kris's blades was empowered by the elements that they possessed. Efriet blazed with flames as Eden was engulfed in ice.

[Active Skill:

Instantaneous Acceleration - Unique/Level 5 (MAX)]

[Active Skill:

Divinity of Brawn - Elite/Level 2]

"You think you can kill me, asshole?"

Kris proceeded to stab the creature in the arm with Efriet, making it burn up in flames. Then he strike it with Eden in the wound on its chest, making a frost cover its body.

He then followed up with a couple more strikes.

[Active Skill:

Trillion-Blade Swing - Unique/Level 1 → 2]

After the trillion hits he landed on the King, he then kicked the King, making it release its grip.

"Well fuck you."

[You have returned x2 Daggers (Eden & Efriet)]

Kris got up to his feet and gathered a concentrated flame in the middle of his palm. While do so, he stationed floating ice into the air, ready to strike.

The King - who was engulfed in blue flames and a frost that was eating away at its skin - charged paying no mind to the defenses.

Kris launched the attacks.

"Take this."

The icicles hit the King straight in the face but they seem to do no damage as the scattered into one big heep of ice.

Suddenly from both sides came an avalanche of ice. The ice crashed into the King. After the ice subsided, it was realized that the King was held in cuffs in the form of ice.

Kris, looking down at his opponent, said, "It is now time for the main course."

He released the flames that was concentrated in his hands at his foe. The flames hit directly and a mist of steam appeared.

"I'm *Huff* out *Huff* of  *Huff* stamina," Kris said while breathing down the place.

The from the mist came a silhouette. It was the King with repaired skin. It was like it suffered no damage.

[Warning]

[Passive Skill:

Eternal Armor - Mystical/Level 5 (MAX)]

"Fuck. I'm beat," Kris said with his voice fell with strain.

[Warning]

[Instantaneous Teleportation - Unique/Level 5 (MAX)]

The female King of Harmony suddenly appeared by herself. She saw the former King and Kris - who was beaten.

"Aww~" she said.

[Warning]

[Active Skill:

Supreme Mergence - Legendary/Level 5 (MAX)]

The former King's body suddenly began to turn to most as it flowed towards the female King. The former King put up no resistance as it was absorbed in Ava's body.

"Guess I'm the real King of this place."
