When I was moving down, I saw a couple of plants, dying, but still alive down here in the underground. How were they even alive? I don't know. I just saw some of the green still there surviving within the withered branches and leaves.
Anyway, as soon as I activated that ability, a certain connection formed between me and those plants and I found out that it wasn't just them, but many more plants were hidden within the area. Not just those hiding in the corner, but those within the ground and some in the walls themselves.
And when the connection started developing, I got something unexpected in front of me
[The connection to the plants has been established. Total control of the surrounding plants has been relinquished to you.
The plants have near zero energy to move or propagate, so you have to provide them with the energy to move or grow. The powers of the plants are no longer equal to you. They will be depending upon how much energy you are providing them.]
Looking at the message, a smile formed on my face as I muttered,"Is that so?"
The blood around me started converging as spikes began to form around me and they tried piercing me from below but
[Time Rejection!]
First, I stopped the incoming attack and then
"Rise," I muttered with a deep look in my eyes as I poured as much energy as I could in the plants, immediately creating a luminous flowery field around me. Since they were night plants, they had some ability to produce luminescence, so I just amplified that part and made the entire area shine brighter.
The UV-lamp was helping much as well.
All his blood field and energy… I slowly began absorbing it with my eyes concentrated… no, at this point I had closed my eyes and used my 'plant' senses to look around. Using the senses of the plants, I was calculating the entire space around me.
That guy had already noticed that something very wrong is going on and thus, for the first time, he jumped at me to attack me but
[Time Rejection!]
Instead of jumping at me, he jumped into a field of plants that contained vines that rapidly absorbed his energy as soon as he touched them. Using his blood ability, he destroyed those vines easily, but with the energy I was supplying. Heh. Too slow.
Earlier, what was an eerie path? What was an eerie underground station? Was now being transformed into a beautiful night garden with flowers and trees in full bloom all around.
Bloodborne was trying his best to get away from the plants, but with the infinite energy I was providing the plants… It was only a matter of time before he succumbed to it.
Slowly his body started withering as I saw the surroundings start decaying faster.
"You… will pay," he spoke in the same way he did before. With that strange voice that echoed throughout the entire place,
-BOOM!!!
I saw him reaching behind me and punching as hard as he could, but
[Time Rejection!]
I did that, and I saw him not punching me but simply jumping behind me and vanishing. Then he appears in front of me and
-Boom!
Punches again… and once again
[TIme Rejection!]
It misses.
Though he didn't give up, every time he missed, he tried again. Every time he couldn't connect the punches, he just tried a better move. His head was breaking, his body was breaking. He was dying a slow painful death as he struggled with every breath he took.
I could see him flying around, crawling like a cockroach, finding the best path, and as soon as he jumped at me
[Time Rejection!]
It was a futile attempt.
With [Eyes of the Time Keeper(Foresight)] it was impossible for him to launch a sneak attack and with [Time Rejection!] it was impossible for him to hit me. It was powerful all right, probably the strongest after Kira, the most powerful one that I had fought up until now.
But there was only so much he could do…
For the next 2 minutes, I guess? He kept trying his best, giving it his all to reach me, George, Walter and Irene, but even still he failed miserably.
He tried a multitude of skills that at many times were groundbreaking or what not, but within the plant domain of mine, it was a kind of waste…
And soon… I saw him withering as he spoke,
"Who… are… you?"
Unlike the previous prideful voice, this time it was a scared, obnoxious voice as he looked at me.
All this time he fought and tried, not once I saw him trying to escape at all. He kept trying without giving up.
At the very least, I could tell him my name
"Michael Aroa," I spoke as I looked at him and immediately his smile widened as he started muttering something before a notification appeared on my System Screen
[A certain life-threatening curse is being put on you!]
[Because of your Ethereal Blood, the curse has failed to penetrate!]
[The source of the curse has been found: Bloodborne Zombie!]
[The source of the curse has been deemed dangerous for the user! The Universe is angry!]
[Removing the Bloodborne from existence immediately!]
And then… I saw that Bloodborne Zombie slowly levitating in the air as he started flapping around like a fish out of water before his form started changing… from an S-Grade Zombie to A-Grade and then to B-Grade. Then to C-Grade. D-Grade. Soon going down until he became a Lesser E-Grade… though it didn't just end at that…
My eyes widened as I looked at him… he was soon changing back to the human form in front of me. A normal average human guy, probably the age of 35 or something… and the sooner he started deaging. From an adult man, he turned younger and younger, becoming a teen, then a kid, a child and finally a baby before his body returned to the embryo stage.
A bone chilling wind brushed past my body as I saw him slowly vanishing into thin air before a message appeared on my screen.
[The threat has been removed from existence! The Universe is satisfied!]
'Huh?' I thought as I looked at the whole scene with a stupefied face. What the heck just happened now?
And also… What about the killing reward?!
'Those were fucking… fucking 1,500,000 Exp points!!!' I almost shouted out as I just saw my ability getting on its last timer… but this isn't how I am letting it go…
"Kill every fucking zombie here," I commanded… most of the zombies here would be worth at least 1,00,000 Exp and there should be at least 400 zombies still remaining…
So…
My vines spread in the entire underground station at a rapid pace as they filled the entire area. I let go all of my energy as I absorbed the entire zombie horde within this station at once, except at once place… where the other S-Grade was supposed to be…
Though…
Now that I have gone in and done it…
I feel like I have overdone it
