The Awakening Unknown

Chapter 11 - 11: "The Crystal"

"The Crystal"

The giants began to walk toward us, the ground trembles beneath their feet. Their breathing heavily escalating. Shoulders bumping against each other, and a smell so horrendous it can make you vomit. Wind howling, blowing through our hair.

Anja ties her into a ponytail, she firmly grabbed her spear, and dashed at the giants, I backed her up with a Shadow Slash. She launched her spear into one of the giants eyes, then pulled out a dagger and ran toward Kramer, my Shadow Slash sliced the other's leg off. 

Anja swung her dagger at Kramers throat, he stepped back and barely dodged. She then kicked Kramer into the air, and proceeded to grab him by his red tie, and knee him into the face. I hear muttering behind me, the rest of our members are behind me. I kneel to the ground, as I run out of my last chi.

[System Update] 

       "Chi Consumed: 140/140"

Do you wish to restore 'Chi' [YES or NO]

   

         Cost: 34000 gold."

I stare into a blank, lost in my thoughts I take some time but choose Yes. "YES, I commanded." My energy all returns to me, I no longer feel fatigued. I slashed another Shadow Slash at the giants head, then proceeded to eternally burn both giants so they wouldn't heal. Anja is sending a barrage of kicks, Kramer can not block or dodge in time. [Precognition activated] he tries to use god hands, but I grabbed Anja and stepped onto his face. He covers his face, he suddenly burst into laughter. 

"This is becoming interesting."

He dashed for us, suddenly crushing the heads of one of our members, a girl who had blond hair and dull blue eyes. He then leaps into the air and draws a knife, and threw it into another's eye. My precognition won't show what he is planning on doing. Anja ran to her spear, "Abis, get me an opening to his torso." I quickly grasped the situation and instinctively ended up behind. I grabbed both arms and used Shadow Creation to chain his arms together. Anja engulfed the tip of her spear with my black flames, and hurled it into the middle of Kramers abdomen, barley missing me. I hear a loud shattering sound, his eyes widen, and eyes grew dull. 

He fell to the ground with shards of glass following behind him, [Perception activated] when I stare into the hole and can see many lost souls some finding peace some not. When I stare at Kramer his body begins to fade. 

Anja approached me and handed me a card. "Here this is yours, you earned it." When looked at it, it's a soldier card. Its relatively used as an ID, Credit Card, free VIP into place, things like that. 

[New Mission]

    "Defeat the lost souls."

When I turned around, I have come to see a man of average height and souls swarming around him, his skin representing magma, as if his body was made of rocks and lava. Using perception I can see the incredible numbers of angered and lost souls attached to his body. Every footstep he took a distant scream from within. Whenever his mouth opened souls emerged. 

"Anja do you see what I see." 

"Yes" she responded, "Lost souls." We turn to face the Lost souls, "Let me fight them" I said.  I approached him with yami in my hand emitting Shadow Touch. I blitz toward the lost souls making them believe that I was attempting for an attack. [Shadow Creation] I then wrap him in chains. Engulfing my legs in Shadow Touch I kick him meters away. He stood back up, and slammed me against the ground.

I rolled to get past him, and kicked his head clean off his body. Before he could regenerate, I punched him in the abdomen. Grabbed his left arm and tossed him. I then punctured his head so he can't be reattached. He come flying in, punching me meters. Once I came to, he was standing over me with his head attached. He builds force to punch me, almost knocking me unconscious. Anja appears behind him, and attempts jabs with her spear. He then grabbed the spear and attempt to punch her, I grabbed his arm and with all my strength shattered his bone.

He turns and kicks me in the nose, causing it to bleed. I cover my face with my hands. He lifts me by my neck, strangling me. Anja pierces his spine, suddenly a burst of souls surrounded us, and his hold on my throat grew tighter. [Shadow Travel activated] he escaped taking Anja traveling away from the scene, regrouping with our group.

I heal everyone around me, and I fall into a deep thought. How do we stopped him from regeneration? Then it hit me, he isn't a real person, just lost souls we have to get rid of their regrets or something.

[Soul of Collection] unlocked

          Skill: Ability to collect souls, into your being.

Convenient time to unlock this. Seems like the system responds to my needs. Anja stares at me with her eyes widened, "It's the same thing as before, what do they mean by Souls of Collections", I gazed into her eyes she can tell if I'm lying, " It's my ability, I'll tell after all of this ." I teleported to him with Shadow Travel, and grabbed his arm [Soul of Collection activated] his movement stopped, the sky reverted to normal and the souls vanished.
