Chapter 7: Awakening
"Only pain reveals hidden strength, and only awakening can tame chaos. "
Bomh bomh. The impacts of the fighting resonate everywhere in the dead forest, but a confrontation is at the height of its intensity.
Ahlmaris is standing, a little injured. His green blood, that of the spirits of the woods, flows. His opponents, the Spirits of the Blade of Nothingness, are seriously injured, except for the one with the katana, who is still standing. The second Spirit of the Blade of the None, who held the sword, lies on the ground, his head exploded. He was beaten to death by Ahlmaris. The third Spirit of the Blade of Nothingness, who held the scimitar, has almost all his bones broken. Ahlmaris said to herself inwardly: "These three are stronger than the other ten I killed. I understand why ten Spirits of the Blade of Nothing appeared before me. I killed them before they killed. That's why they were weak, unlike these three. But the most powerful of them, the one with the katana, how many did he have to kill to be so powerful? I have to do it quickly. The longer I delay, the more other Spirits of the Blade of the Nothing will appear. "
Ahlmaris leams on his opponents. The other two, in a last and instinctive effort, also jump to continue their fight to the death. The Katana Spirit raises his weapon with supernatural speed, aiming at Ahlmaris' throat. The shock is deafening, the air itself seems to tear. Ahlmaris dodged the attack, then kicked. The Katana Spirit is thrown back, spitting blue blood.
The Spirit with the scimitarre advances to cut Ahlmaris being more is faster and stronger and easily he stops The Spirit with the scimitarre we give more blow. At the same time he says he is inside I have to hurry to finish this fight before others arrive. He leans towards the Spirit at the scimitarre. The fight continues. Ahlmaris, using the momentum, hits his opponent's scimitarre with such a force speed that he dodges the attacks Before the Spirit can react, the Spirit of the woods breaks the neck of the spectrum. He immediately turns to the last opponent, the one with the katana.
In another area, another fight takes place.
It is Râhenhotep who fights ten Spirits of the Blade of the Nothing, his wife Nefirâ standing behind him. Râhenhotep uses his unique ability of Domination and his class of Ancient King. By combining the two effects:
> Old King Class: Even without a title, some individuals or groups can instinctively follow their orders thanks to their ancient charisma.
> Domination Capacity: Even without conscious action, individuals close to the wearer feel a slight respect or instinctive submission.
>
Thanks to these two effects, Râhenhotep can delay these monsters, even if they have no consciousness, for a few seconds. Meanwhile, he can attack them without them dodging. At first, after using his powers, he runs on a Mind of the Blade of Nothing and snatches their weapon to use it to shoot down others. Râhenhotep understands that after the death of a Spirit of the Blade of Nothingness, his weapon disappears with him. Nine other Spirits of the Blade of Nothing want to attack him. Râhenhotep uses his ability to delay them and does the same thing: he takes the weapon of another Spirit and kills another Spirit of the Blade of the Nothing. He says: "Yes, I wasn't wrong, it seems that my assumption was true. On the Spirit of the Blade of the Nothing, if I keep their weapon, I can't kill him. If his weapon disappears, then I must use it against another Spirit of the Blade of Nothingness until only the owner of the weapon remains to kill him in the end. "
Twenty minutes later, only four Spirits of the Blade of Nothing remain. Râhenhotep is injured, because his tactics sometimes fail, but he smiles, because he has completed his quest: Mission to reach level 10 (Awake): use your ability 10/10. After completing his mission, he would have a new ability and an object. It is the Awakening, the promise of new strength.
After completing the mission, Râhenhotep unlocks his Awakening ability, which takes his dominance to a new peak.
Râhenhotep looks at the four Spirits of the Blade of Nothing without doing anything. They run to kill him. His wife Nefirâ said: "What are you doing? Use your ability and your class! You're going to get killed! But suddenly, the four Spirits of the Blade of the Nothing no longer move. They kneel in front of Râhenhotep. Their spectral forms bow, a forced deference, twisting their essence of Nothingness. Nefirâ is speechless and says: "Is this your Awakened ability? "
He answers: "Yes, it's my Awakened ability. Individuals in the radius of action feel the need to follow the orders of the bearer, even against their own interest. "Then, Râhenhotep said to the four Spirits of the Blade of Nothingness: "Serve this place until dawn. The four Spirits of the Blade of the Nothing leave to fulfill their order. When they left, Râhenhotep fell. This fight was not easy, or rather, this night was long for him. He was seriously injured and humiliated by Ahlmaris, but in the same night, he was Awake. He says: "This destiny is really strange, as it plays with people. But he never forgot his promise to take revenge on Ahlmaris, to kill him with his own hands. Then he turned around and said to Nefira: "I'm going to rest a little. Don't worry, if I'm here, who can stop me? After all, I am a king. Hhhhhh. His tone is more arrogant than before when he called himself king.
Nefirâ tightens his arms, his heart is heavy. "Why am I so useless? I can't even use my dormant capacity because of my fault. How can I fulfill my dream? ", she thinks. She looks at the powerful figure of her husband, now the Awakened King. The gap between them has widened. "I must find the solution to my defect as soon as possible: the loss of control. She says to herself: "If I continue like this, I can no longer control my pieces. Me, Nefirâ, lose against these men who are inferior to me? For me, men are just pieces that I control." she says inside you think you're superior to me Nefirâ says to herself: "Yes, idiot. You men are only my pawns. For me, I married you because you were the most powerful man, and you married me for my beauty. But when we found ourselves in this world, I understood that the power of an individual can surpass that of a group. Unlike you who seek to regain your old power, I will use my ability. And if you become useless, I will abandon you. After all, you're just a pawn on my chessboard. "But out loud, she said: "I know you can do it, darling. "
But a little further, Nameless is lying on the ground, bathed in his blood after being pierced by the spear of a Spirit of the Blade of Nothing. The Spirit of the Blade of Nothingness threw him away, thinking he was dead. But if he continues like this, he will really die. Then, he looks at the sky which is an endless fog, without any stars. Sans Nom smiles: "It seems that the world won't even let me see a sky for the last time. Hhhh. "
All his suffering ends here. All this life ends here. All his efforts and dreams end here. What an irony! Since he came into this world, he has done everything not to die, to realize his crazy dream, but death is inevitable. Who can't die in this world? Sans Nom knew more than anyone that death existed. In any world in the old world, he saw his mother die of an ordinary disease without doing anything. He saw many people die on the street when he was homeless. He always wonders how he will die. "It looks like my day has arrived," he says. "So, it's the end. I'm scared, really scared. I feel lonely with the help Please give her help, I feel really lonely. Mom. At the time of death, Sans Nom brings out everything he has hidden in his heart.
At that moment, he abandoned all his lucid masks. After all, he's just a teenager. The blacker his sight becomes, the more the noises fade and his consciousness begins to disappear. A cold void envelops him, but strangely,. He says: "Hhhhhhhhh... In the end, there is only me left... or not. "After saying that, Sans Nom saw a person. It was neither his mother nor anyone else who came to help him, but himself, but each unique and different of the billions of names he looked at and smiled: "Hhhhhhh, you're right." he said
Nameless is dead, alone. Sans Nom had no name, no family, no love. He was forgotten, with nothing. He doesn't even want a regret alone in his world
: "If one day I reincarnate, I will make the same choice he says. Hhhhh. After that, only I am left. "
Râhenhotep and Nefirâ don't even know his name. But in this final moment, he saw that his sentence was more true than ever at the time of death.
Sans Nom is dead. Nothing happens after his death: no supernatural power that saves him, nor a god who helps him, nor a reincarnation, but simply death. He's dead, nothing more. His body, tiny and insignificant in the middle of the torn forest, becomes one more shadow in the starless night. His blood flows everywhere, his body, or corpse, remains in the forest as among other corpses, nothing more. The world goes on
When everyone or the world wanted to say that Nameless is dead, something happened. It is not a hidden power or a miracle, but simply Nameless himself who says: "And then if I am alone, and then if no one remembers me, and then if I have no name, and then? And then if no one helps me and then After all, it's a possibility among others, but in the end, it only depends on me, or not. "
Nameless opened his eyes suddenly, but it was no longer Nameless. It was not a hidden demon or anything else, but another part of Nameless among others; this part is called Nameless Crazy. When he opens his eyes, he smiles and says: "If I decide not to die, who can kill me, unless I decide? He said, hhhhhhhhh. He stands up with his wounds, holding his gaping wound, and says with a smile: "Hhhhhhhhhhh, I am the only one who decides my life and my death, but even more, who can stop me? " he says. Voice out loud
He saw the Spirit of the Blade of Nothing of Ōdachi who was eyeless looking for his weapon. Sans Nom Fou smiled and said: "Hhhhhhhhhh, it's been a really long time since I took control, since the last time I beat the homeless to death, hhhhhhh. Then he looks at the Spirit of the Blade of Nothingness of Ōdachi. "The other nameless was very weak, but not me," looking at his broken fingers, he said: "The other had so much pain to break his fingers, but not me. Then he squeezes his broken fingers by closing his handle, the creaking of the bones under the skin pulling out an even crazier laugh hhhhh.
He jumped on the Spirit of the Blade of the Nothing who was looking for his Ōdachi. Sans Nom Fou began to hit him with his hand, with inhuman violence. With every blow he gives, we can see the bones of the hand. The more Sans Nom Fou feels the pain, the more violent he becomes, the more he laughs, hhhhhhhh. Without Name did not become physically stronger or unlock a hidden power, he was the same, but another nameless took his place, hhhhhhhhhh, among others without names who are him, nothing more. After crushing the head of the Spirit of the Blade of Nothingness, Sans Nom Fou notices that his hand is broken if no longer a hand, as if nothing had happened. Smiling: "Hhhhhhhhhh, being cruel to others is human but being cruel to yourself
It's demonic. "
Without Name the Fool began to look for the Ōdachi.
The Spirit of the Blade of the Naint began to bleed severely blue blood everywhere, but before he even came to his senses, Nameless the Fool had cut off his hand at the Ōdachi, laughing, heheheh. The Spirit, who had no conscience, began to feel terror. But Sans Nom was pitiful and cruel, cutting him piece by piece, laughing, hehehe. Nameless was bathed in blue blood of his enemy, but his wound continued to make him suffer. He suddenly turned in one direction. "Who will be next? He said, leaving his enemy cut off everywhere without killing him so that he would suffer more.
Without Name has not become stronger. He was the same, but his mentality changed. Sans Nom Fou is not afraid. The more he felt afraid, the more he went crazy, and the more he was injured, the more wild and dangerous he became. This is the only difference with the original Sans Nom.
