Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Null the Executioner

*Null was falling from the sky, but he just crossed his arms and legs and waited impatiently.*

Null: "This isn't funny anymore,"— he said in exasperation—. "Falling from the clouds is my new hobby now."

BOOM!

*Null falls backward onto the ground in the middle of a meadow, creating a large crater around him. His limbs are twisted and his neck is broken, but in a few seconds everything regenerates, and he recovers quickly.*

Null: "Well, let's go find that corrupt spirit," he said as he got up as if nothing had happened and began walking across the meadow.

*After walking for several minutes, he hears a scream and runs at the speed of sound toward the source of the scream.*

Null: "It must be one of those spirits attacking innocent people," he said as he prepared his sword. "Not in my presence!"

*Null grabs his sword and cuts through a wall of logs with one stroke. He jumps and uses wind magic to propel himself at high speeds, and then a window appears, like a system window.*

Null: What is this? It's like a video game, —he says as he checks the system window while dodging obstacles— So if I execute the spirit, I'll level up, he smiles and tightens his grip on his sword. Now I'm even more motivated!

*After a few minutes, Null reaches the source and sees a giant spirit absorbing the vitality of its surroundings. In its other hand, it carries a person who is now unconscious*

Null: HEY! —He stomps on the ground, cracking it to get the corrupt spirit's attention— I sentence you to death!

Spirit: HAHAHA! You? Don't make me laugh —the spirit drops the woman on the ground and stands up, its size is 7 meters— an ant like you can't even touch me —it starts running towards Null—

Null: That's what you think, but you're in for a surprise!

*The spirit throws a punch at Null, creating a huge crater in the ground, but Null dodges it by jumping up and with one hand delivers a powerful punch to the spirit, knocking it into a nearby lake.*

Spirit: Damn you! You won't defeat me so easily!

*The rebellious spirit emerges from the water and begins to throw celestial spheres directly at Null, but he begins to jump through the air, and the spheres chase him.*

Null: "Tsh, how annoying," —he says as he begins to change the angle of his movements—.

Spirit: "You won't get out of here alive!"

*Null begins to jump zigzag in the air with his wind magic until, with a sudden impulse, he jumps at high speed toward the giant and barely grazes his face before jumping away*

Null: You must be careful, he said, laughing.

Spirit: What the hell!

*The spheres hit the spirit in the face, causing him to stagger until he falls to the ground.*

Null: It's time for the sentence, he says as he grabs his sword. Say your last words.

Spirit: You won't kill me!

*As the spirit tries to get up, chains appear, wrapping around his entire body and immobilizing him completely.*

Null: Sabaki no rensa, you won't be able to escape from there no matter how much you resist. These chains bind not only your spiritual body, but also your magic and energy, even your essence. You won't be able to move no matter how hard you try.

Spirit: No, no, NO! I won't die here!!

*Null pulls his sword completely out of the sheath on his back. Null's sword is imbued with materials from stars and the essence of the cosmos and contains divine runes that form an engraving "死刑令状,(Shikei reijō)"*

Null: Megakuramu —the sword emits a purple aura— Shikei

*Null swings the sword and cuts off the spirit's head with one blow, whose body now begins to disintegrate*

Null: Yasuraka ni nemuru

*Null sheathes his sword and quickly goes to the unconscious person*

Null: Thank goodness the spirit didn't absorb much of their vitality.

*The system window appears in front of his face*

Null: "You completed the mission. Your reward is a key to unlock the stats menu." STATS! —he said, so surprised that he let go of the person— Damn it —he manages to catch the person before they fall to the ground— Phew, that was close.

*Null accepts the key and unlocks the stats menu as he starts walking*

System: Your current stats are:

Null: So little!? I have a long way to go —he laughs self-critically— Oh, there's another menu —he presses a button on the menu—

Null: I have a legendary item but I'm poor —he said with exasperation— but hey, I'm not complaining, I have a legendary item.
