~BOOOOOM!~
An intense beam of light erupted, rising into the sky as soon as the Chaos Blade awakened.
The tremors ceased, and everywhere went still.
It was as if the world itself was holding its breath as this display of sheer power was wrought.
Jet raised this powerful blade up high so all could witness it, his eyes glowing with a spark of purple. His dark robe danced around him as the celestial lights sparkled in all their majesty.
Even the Monsters halted to see the beautiful sight of a miracle unfolding.
Then—
"Now, Lux!"
"Wind Constraints!" The female Mage yelled out, causing an incredible surge of wind to manifest all in an instant.
The winds took form, turning into several translucent chains that bound the stationary targets that were too stunned by chaos' beauty.
Once all the Monsters were bound, Jet concentrated all the light to his blade's surface and edges, creating the perfect aura around his weapon.
"Britta… it's time." He glanced at the stunned lady, and she nodded at him that very instant.
With no hesitation, he closed his eyes for a moment, muttering the name of his A-Tier Skill.
"[Ascended Godspeed]."
~BZZZTTTTTTZZZZ!~
That instant, his entire body was coated in flashes of red, blue, and white lightning, while also bursting with immense energy.
The colors merged in perfect harmony to birth a new hue—purple.
Layers of purple energy and lightning shrouded Jet, and his previously dark hair turned silver white that very instant.
"Here I go…"
~BOOOM!~
The ground beneath him shattered as he charged at the first target like a blur in the wind.
~WHOOSH!~
Faster than the eye could process—indistinguishable from teleportation—he reached his prey, flying straight towards its tall face.
"Rahhhh!" With a powerful yell, he sent his blade high up, slicing through the neck in one move.
Britta saw this from her distance and yelled "AMAZING!"
She had never seen anyone slice off the head of an A-Tier Monster in one swing, and so quickly for that matter.
~BWUUSH!~
The force of the strike sent shockwaves flying around, but it didn't distract Jet from his mission. Instead, he allowed his body to flow with the wind, propelling him towards the next A-Tier Monster who sent their fists flying towards him in a flurry.
~SWISH!~
One swing turned the creature's fist into mincemeat, and the next swing went straight for the throat, severing the head from the body with unstoppable momentum.
Yes… just like that, the next Monster was down.
~WHOOSH!~
Using the corpse of the Monster as a platform, he charged at his next opponent like a streak of lightning.
It seemed like the Monster was attempting to use a Skill, but before they could activate anything, the blade in his grasp enlarged into a much larger sword—twice as tall as the man who wielded it—and sliced the Monster's body in half.
As one would expect, it resulted in the beast's instant death.
~SPLOOOSH!~
Blood sprayed from the corpses of the three Monsters at the same time, as Jet landed on the ground and sloshed aside the blood that stained his blade.
In just the fraction of a moment, before Britta could even take down one Monster, he was already done with three.
It was an amazing sight—enough to force tears out of anyone's eyes.
Anyone who saw the Monsters toppling behind Jet as he approached the next foe would see the potential of humanity at its finest.
Even the skeptical Britta, who once scoffed at the young man's dreams, couldn't help but feel something tug at her heart.
She had a sudden thought.
'Maybe he can do it…' As her eyes witnessed the impossible, she couldn't help but tremble in wonder.
Britta finally embraced the possibility of what she considered impossible.
'If anyone can surpass Jet Zephyr… it's him!'
**********
"Huu…"
Rey released steam from his lips as he did his best to control the excitable energy that filled his body.
'Holding back like this is a lot more difficult than I thought.'
He was currently using the S-Tier Skill[Ascended Godspeed], but since such a thing was impossible by normal human standards, he had to slow down a little inorder not to freak out the spectator.
If he really went all out with that Skill alone, all the Monsters around would be cleared in an instant.
'Everything is so slow, and I'm moving so fast that it's exciting!' He thought to himself, sighing even more. 'That's why this is so frustrating.'
He had to control his movements and stop at intervals so he wouldn't display too much of his power.
'At least when I pretended to be a weakling to my classmates, I wasn't using any Active Skills, and I turned off most of my Passive Skills. It was so much easier then…'
But this was literally torture.
~SPLOOSH!~
As he killed the next A-Tier Monster, he felt no resistance at all. His blade just smoothly cut the flesh of the Monster despite the creature boasting an incredibly dense skin and strong bones.
Rey already knew the reason for that.
'I'm using [Aura Sword] mixed with the new Item I made using the remains of that S-Tier Monster and the high-quality materials we got from the Elves.'
Normally speaking, even if [Aura Sword] was a B-Tier Skill was a mere B-Tier Skill, Rey's sheer volume of Mana and monstrous Stats already made it on par with an A-Tier Skill based on effects alone.
Then, adding the effects of the Chaos Blade—as he chose to name it—which essentially took on whatever form he desired as long as he projected his intentions to it… he was pretty much playing on easy mode.
Granted, the mass of the Chaos Blade was limited, so he couldn't make it absurdly large. His limit was about three times his length, but that would stretch out the blade and make it thin-layered.
'I also can't create overly complex constructs, like guns and stuff. At least, not yet.'
However, Rey was optimistic about this weapon's potential—
especially since he still had one or two more in his stockpile, as well as the materials necessary to make more.
'Alright. Let's test out more of what you can do!'
