I think I have mentioned this before but… Noah was… is a Genius.
[Guidance!]
-Whoosh!
"What the-!!"
-Slash! Slash!
[You have killed a Dark Mage!]
[You have killed a Dark Mage!]
An assassin of perfection who was well versed in all sorts of things. There was little that he couldn't use as a weapon. A gun? A knife? A pencil? Be careful of him even if does not hold any weapon.
He can kill you before you can even realise.
"KILL HIM-!!!"
-Slash!
[You have killed a Dark Mage!]
He is efficient, quick and knows how to turn the situation in his favour.
"Dark Arrow!"
-Whoosh!
Given his superhuman reflexes, accompanied with the over the top stats of this world, he can now even go beyond what was capable of.
"This Fucking worm! How is he doing that! Kill him- HUH?! STAY AWAY-"
-Slash!
[You have killed a Dark Mage!]
Noah moved in between the dark mages at rapid speed, running faster than they could react. Using the weak points that the skill [Guidance] was showing him, he was killing them one by one before they could even realise what was going on.
If you try to move you die. If you try to cast a skill, you will be probably targeted next. If you somehow succeed in casting a skill, he will dodge it and then target you. A small space like this, and the combination of a close combat fight was a nearly perfect set up for Noah to display his prowess.
[You have killed a Dark Mage!]
It wasn't that they were weak. No, they were quiet capable… just that their weakness, no matter how well dressed, were blatantly naked in front of Noah as he killed them all in a single slash. Minimal movement, minimal effort. Maximum output.
[You have killed a Dark Mage!]
"You… Monster! Just who are you!" One of the last two men standing, the receptionist, looked at Noah as if he was looking at some ghost. He has seen many killers in his life, but none were as precise as he was. It wasn't absolute or absurd power that he used to witness among the monstrous peoples of this world. Nope… it was utter perfectionism that made him rethink about this kid in front of him.
-Whoosh!
-Clank!
The other man, who seemed to be a carrying a knife moved in to parry Noah's knife but the first parry left his entire body vulnerable before Noah's knife easily slashed his neck, killing him in one sweep just like the other dead bodies in the room.
"Wait! We can talk! What is it that you want? You came here to learn dark magic, right?" The receptionist worried, tried to reason with Noah but Noah simply moved forward at a rapid speed, moving in for a kill.
"YOU BASTA-" and the receptionist shouted trying to get in a punch before his neck fell down on the ground leaving Noah alone in the silent room.
[You have killed a novice Dark Mage!]
[…] (Noah)
{…} (Ameliana)
And within a single minute, all the dark mages were dead, unable to protect themselves against one single teenager who could barely cast a spell not too long ago.
Slow breathing as Noah calmed down before he saw another message popping up in front of him.
[Duty Fulfilled! +200 Karma!]
"It's almost terrifying… but then again, passion like this is the bare minimum if you want to stay alive in this world."(Lucas)
Lucas entered the room, his eyes looking at the dead bodies, checking for anyone alive before he turned to Noah as he continued," but… given your report… Are you really Elios?"
Noah looked at Lucas with a slight sigh before speaking,"I just… don't like people who mistreats children."
It wasn't the answer that Lucas wanted, but somehow, he felt satisfied with that. He simply nodded at him before speaking,
"Your work for the day is done. You can meet Amelinana to earn your share."
Lucas spoke before vanishing from there while Noah simply nodded and then started walking back towards the temple area.
[You okay?](Elios)
'Why? Can't you see through me already?'(Noah)
[Is that so? Then it's fine.](Elios)
Elios didn't ask anymore questions after that. Noah was a bit scary with how he dealt with those dark mages, but then again, their end as decided to be like that even if Noah hadn't done anything. Lucas was there to watch over him, after all.
Still, Elios was a tad bit curious about Noah. The kind of life he lived before this, what did he do… and who exactly was he in his own world.
But there was something more exciting for Elios than this right now.
[Skill: Active Mana Regeneration(F)
Effects: Allows the user to gather 0.1MP per second if he focused all his mind into it
Cost: 200 Karma Points!]
It was something that Elios was looking forward to because he wanted to experiment with it. Especially since both he and Noah can access to the system without hindering each other.
[You have purchased Active Mana Regeneration(F) for 200 Karma Points!]
[Your Side Job Reacts!]
[You have unlocked a new type of Energy! Death Energy!]
[Death Energy will be directly proportional to the amount of Intelligence you have!]
[Total Current Death Energy Points: 0/13]
[Death Energy can be used instead of Mana when using all attributes except Life and Light! The skill effects will be increased by 10 times of all skills when Death Energy is used!]
[You have received a new Skill: Active Death Energy Regeneration!]
[Active Death Energy Regeneration (F)
Effects: Allows the user to regenerate 0.01 DE/sec when the user is in complete concentration!]
Noah almost paused for a few seconds before he continued walking. His eyes focused on the information presented in front of him, while Elios was rather taken aback with the string of information presented to him.
[A new stat? Death Energy? That's… scary almost. I guess I will be busy tonight. Hehehehe…](Elios)
For an Acolyte who deals with healing people… Elios was rather enthusiastic with this new ominous type of energy. Noah simply sighed before reaching to the temple and meeting Ameliana where he was supposed to get his share for the work…
But…
"Why do you have traces of Death Energy on you?!!"(Ameliana)
