In the middle of the nightwing forest, under the ethereal moonlight a bizarre scene was unfolding, a young man with a silvery dagger on his hand, surrounded with multiple shadowy black creatures was commanding them as if he was their king.
Following his command, the black creatures rushed out towards the deeper foliage like black lightning bolts from all direction with him as the center.
POV
I commanded my soldiers to scout the area as they scattered away
It felt as if it was a dream or maybe that's what it was supposed to feel like but instead, I felt a strange calmness, although surreal, ever since I went through the character key activation, it felt as if my body had experienced all of jinwoo's memories during the red gate arc but the weird part was that my mind didn't inherited any of jinwoo's memories...as if i just took over his body...?
"Wait...what if?" i hastily put the silver dagger in front of me and as the moonlight reflected from it, my reflection quenched my doubts.
Without a doubt, this was what jinwoo looked like during the red gate arc, I further looked at the clothes i was wearing which had been ignored by me all this time and indeed, A brown winter coat lined with white fur and a grayish blue formal shirt paired with a black formal trouser.
"Indeed, not just looks but i even got his clothes. I looked just like him when he was inside the red gate...The character key is no joke."
I was excited, my heart beat increasing.
It was about time i test my other skills. I riled up my mana and-
*Boom*
I jumped with all my strength, the ground exploding below my feet as i rose high into the sky, it felt as if i could touch the moon, for a moment which felt like forever, i was floating in the sky, levitating even, I could see the beautiful full moon which looked way bigger from up here and in contrast, the ground and the trees looked tiny, I could tell i was in the middle of a forest with trees and mountains spreading towards the horizon as far as my eyes could see.
The moment ended and i could feel my body plummeting towards the ground but i wasn't done yet, I used my other skill, the ruler's hand on myself and accelerated towards the ground at a ridiculous speed, covering a huge amount of mana on my right hand so much so that it started glowing blue while releasing blue mana vapors, I flew into the ground and punched it!
GENERAL POV
In a quiet unassuming night at the nightwing forest
*BOOOM*
The ground exploded as dust and debris were sent flying towards all direction, a huge dust cloud spanning tens of meters rose up towards the sky as the shockwave shook the ground and the trees within a 100 meter radius.
As the dust settled, a crater many meters deep was revealed with a young man at its pit.
Jin's POV:
I was flabbergasted, the amount of destruction it caused was way beyond my expectation... excited I closed my fist.
" This strength is mine" I whispered to myself.
I then jumped up from the crater and was again surprised by the destruction caused by my punch, the ground was destroyed to pieces, large chunks of it laying there broken for tens of meters around me.
The dust had mostly settled in but some still remain signifying what it had been before. I marveled at it for a few minutes then-
"Well time to check my other skills"
[Quick silver: Increase movement speed by 30%]
*Boom*
I ran and it immediately broke the sound barrier, within less then a second, I had travelled more then 500 meters, it was an unbelievable speed but what was even more mind boggling was my acceleration, almost immediately, I had accelerated close to my top speed, to a bystander, if the sonic boom didn't happened then it would have felt as if i had teleported!
Of course I could see things clearly as I ran even with quicksilver just like how a normal person sees when he is sprinting, the only difference being I was faster then sound!
*Boom* I activated the skill again and disappeared along with the sonic boom, running without an aim, I soon decided to run in circles and immediately created a tornado which uprooted a nearby tree.
" hahahahaha " Laughing like a fool, i decided to stop running in circles and ran straight again to activate my final skill.
[stealth]
although I couldn't see it, I could feel I had became invisible. Even the air pressure created by my speed almost became negligible along with my body, sound and even mana.
even though activating these skills and maintaining it cost a sum of mana, I had plenty left but then I noticed a sudden drop in my mana meter.
It could mean only one thing...
Some of my shadow soldiers were destroyed.
