Destroyer

  Nothing happened over happened over the next few days until Onex got a letter. It was from Akari, telling him that she accepted his offer to become allies.

  Onex sighed in relief; he was glad he at least got one ally from the meeting. Even if it was just one.

  After a bit, he got up and went to his bedroom. Ready for some sleep, he flopped down and quickly drifted into sleep, and he started to dream once more.

  He was in a realm made of every color, kind of like the Base. But it was a place this time. There were also giant structures, also small structures, and structures in between.

  A feeling of peace washed over him. He suddenly saw people, but they weren’t people, they were the Gods. They all chatted, joked, and made plans in this infinite realm of vastness.

  But suddenly, a dark bubble appeared in what seemed like an infinite distance away. It grew and swallowed the infinite realm of vastness. The bubble continued to spread, three beings that Onex could not see, having wings, appeared at the growing bubble, but did not try to stop it.

  It only stopped when the God of Justice appeared. He cast a halo of light around the black bubble, stopping its growth. He then looked at the winged beings, and sent them into the objects, calling it ‘punishment’.

  As soon as the winged being were thrown into the abyss with the halo, Onex woke up. His breath was uneven, and his body was so sore it felt like he did 200 reps of 200 different exercises.

  Onex scratched the back of his head as got up. He was a bit confused by the dream, never having dreamt of anything like it before. But he didn’t feel like dwelling on it, it was only a dream after all!

  …

  Akari walked through burnt ruins. Soldiers following behind her, they each carried a sword and shield, which their shield’s each had a symbol of a burning flower. As they walked, they heard a creepy, unsettling laugh.

  They froze. And started to look around for the source until they finally found it.

  A tall, pale, skinny to the bone figure appeared. He was mostly bald with just a few long strains of very thin hair. His nails were long and chipped, his eyes were wide and his pupils were dilated.

  He gave a wicked, twisted smile, “Solders look at Folly. Solders look hostile.”

  “Who are you? You don’t look like the conquer.”

  “Folly’s master is away! Folly is Folly.”

  “And who is your master?”

  Folly violently scratched his neck, “Master is at…. Master is…. Folly doesn’t say.”

  Akari let out an annoyed huff, “Talk normally.”

  “Me speak like Folly speaks, because I am Folly.”

  Suddenly, one of the soldiers spoke up, “What should we do with him, your majesty?”

  “Lock him up. The size of this island is massive; it’s right behind the 12th overlord. So, any information that we can get about his master will be for the better.”

  The soldier was about to agree, when Folly interrupted as his face twitched in anger, “F-Folly cannot be locked up! Folly doesn’t like falling.”

  “Falling? What are yo-” Akari was interrupted as Folly’s hand came flying at her neck, which she barely avoided.

  “Folly won’t be locked up! Folly won’t be locked up!” He yelled, over and over again while swinging at Akaria.

  Onex was in a new library that opened up in his city. Looking through some books, though the selection was quite small, for some entertainment when there was nothing to do.

  Eventually he found a book and checked out. Then he walked back onto the brick road, which has recently been instilled in the city. He followed the road, past all the houses and saw familiar faces along the way.

  John and Yeno were sitting at a newly opened pub, chatting and getting along. The former leader of the Zoi kingdom was sitting down, doing nothing. And Anna was leaving her place to go buy more medical supplies.

  Soon enough, Onex got back home and began reading his book. It was a simple story, with simple characters. He read it until he got to chapter 6. After that he got up to get some food.

  Soon after finishing a quick snack, Anna walked in, while glancing outside.

  “Hey, there’s someone on a very small island that holds one person. They are demanding to see you, we aren’t sure what to do because it’s just one person.”

  Onex sighed, “Alright, I’ll go check it out. Lead the way.”

  He gestured to Anna as she started to walk, which he followed suit.

  Onex was led to the outskirts of his island. Where he saw a man in a white coat with a sword standing on an island, with no one else on it. The oddest part was that this man showed no signs of being a conquer.

  “You wished to see me, yes?” Onex asked.

  “I did, I have come to destroy you, king of X.” The man said, unsheathing their sword.

  Onex let out a nervous chuckle, “Destroy me?”

  The man did not respond. He simply lunged at Onex with inhuman speeds. If it weren’t for his sword acceleration ability, he wouldn’t have been able to block it.

  Once he blocked it, Onex jumped back a few feet.

  “We haven’t even introduc-”

  Onex couldn’t even finish his statement as the man's sword thrust towards him, which Onex could barely parry in time.

  After realizing that the man would not negotiate, Onex entered a bind with his opponent, controlling the man's sword to thrust his own at the man's chest.

  But the man was agile and managed to duck under. Then he swung his sword down, cutting Onex’s stomach, causing him to stumble back.

  Onex grit his teeth as he parried another attack. The blood loss making him feel dizzy and made his sword feel heavy, but he used his acceleration ability to keep on moving, faster and faster.

  But the man kept up with his pace, he seemed to still be full of energy, without a scratch.

  The man sent a strike, Onex parried and swung on his own. But the man would void the attack and send another attack.

  Onex started to feel tired, he was, for some reason, unable to hit this guy.

  The more the battle went on, the more Onex’s movements became sluggish and less precise. His vision was getting blurry and he felt like he was going to pass out.

  But suddenly, the man's sword cut through Onex’s mask, causing it to fall to the ground in two pieces.

  “Huh?” Onex stumbled backwards, looking at his broken mask with a dazed look.

  You are no longer a conquer.

  Because Anna was the co-conquer of this nation, she will be the new conquer of this land. Now renamed the Spike Kingdom.

  Onex’s eyes widened at what the void just said. Had he really just lost his conquers ability? But his sword was still here.

  But Onex was given no time to think. As the man suddenly kicked Onex off the island, into the void.

  He instantly felt his body being pulled in every direction, just like last time. Though it was much worst this time, he was injured.

  But he didn’t hear the laughter this time. He heard mocking voices, though he couldn’t hear what they were saying, they sounded like they were mocking him.

  His mind tried to fill the darkness, resulting in hallucinations of horrifying creatures. The mocking tones he heard did not help either.

  Onex’s mind began to scatter as his thoughts slowly became mush. The pain, the Visual and audio hallucinations were becoming too much to handle. But they all came to sudden halt as Onex hit ground.

  He was suddenly on another island, once again, just smaller, much smaller. But Onex couldn’t think, his mind felt like mush, and all his thoughts blended and mixed together, he couldn’t even move.

  But soon enough, his mind relaxed and he could think again. He panted for air as he clutched the slice in his stomach. That’s when he heard the voids voice, once again.

  You have survived the “Fall of the Void” event for the second time.

  You have become a Destroyer.

  You have received a new item.

  A long black coat appeared on Onex. As text for the item appeared.

  [Destroyer Coat]

  [Level: 0]

  [Key Abilities: Destroyer of Conquers]

  [Unique abilities: None]

  Onex carefully read the stats of this new item while wincing in pain. He slowly leaned back as he realized what he was supposed to do in this new role he was given.

  So, I’m supposed to destroy conquers instead of conquering them. Just like what that guy in the white coat did to me, man…this really sucks, I wanna go back to the surface already!

  Onex thought as he tore a part of his shirt off and bandaged his side up. He then laid fully on the hard ground and looked up into the void; he could still hear the mocking tone and see the hallucinations.
