Chapter 18 - Friends

Each sword that came from the portals was at least 50 feet long. Yuki could very easily take on an army of giants by himself if he ever wanted to.

Each portal shrieked as it arrived into the world. Once they had fully materialized and came out of the portals, it could be perceived that red glowing chains were still holding them to the portals. All the swords floated in the air, awaiting Yuki's command. Realizing this, Yuki pointed the tip of his sword at his opponent's body. Instantly, all the blades pointed right at him and began charging onto him.

He fell to his knees as there was nothing he possibly could've done to survive. Even Yuki didn't fully understand what was going on.

In the blink of an eye, all the swords crashed into the white-haired man and killed him off.

"The world truly isn't fair. By all logic, you should've won this battle. The stat boost from each level is the same which means that all it came down to was our base stats. Your base stats were most likely higher than mine which means that you should've won without question. I want to feel sadness for you right now but I can't, all I feel for you is a pity," Yuki said goodbye to his opponent.

"Well, all that's left now is you, Demosthenes. There's nothing you can do to escape, your fate is sealed," Yuki continued even though he was extremely exhausted.

"Activate ability: 100 times multiplier"

Demosthenes began to laugh.

"You really thought the master of "INFINITE HOTEL" would show up? How foolish, well it doesn't matter anymore. For exactly 1 minute, I become 100 times as powerful as I usually am, you will die here today!" Demosthenes spoke as he laughed hysterically.

Yuki was scared. Could he really survive against Demosthenes? he thought. Just then a genius idea came to his mind. He quickly opened his inventory and drank all the positions he had bought for the battle. Now he had regained his stamina and boosted his overall stats for a short period of time.

"And next," Yuki continued.

[Set ability: Sword boost]

[Specifications: Gives a large boost to the overall damage of the golden sword he was holding]

[Draw back: Drains a lot of stamina]

"THIS IS AN ALL OR NOTHING GAMBLE!" Yuki yelled.

Yuki wouldn't have known at the time however, he didn't need to boost himself to face Demosthenes. The spatial swords were already more than enough to take him down easily.

Once again, the swords pointed at Yuki's opponent which was now Demosthenes. This time, they glowed red like the gates of hell. The amount of power they carried from all the status amplification given to them by Yuki made them unbelievably strong. They had made the ground tremble in fear.

Full of ego, Demosthenes began to rush to Yuki. Right before he could land a hit, one of the spacial swords came flying from the sky and sunk to the ground, in turn blocking Demosthenes. Before he could try to attack a second time, another one came flying and cut off his legs. One by one, each blade continued to cut at Demosthenes until his body was unrecognizable.

Once Yuki finished his fun with Demosthenes, we put his attention towards the shack.

"Since you wanted to waste my time, this is what you get!" Yuki yelled in anger.

He made the spatial swords float up to the sky once more and brought them down at the shack.

"It doesn't matter if you don't feel the pain, no matter your ability, the obvious power gap between us is undeniable. I can at any time negate your ability," Yuki continued.

Once the shack was completely destroyed, Yuki relaxed his arm which made the swords go page into their portals and ended his sword's ability.

Right as he prepared to put away his sword back into his inventory, he noticed that the red glow it once had was gone.

"I'll deal with you later," Yuki said before finally passing out from exhaustion. As he fell to the ground, a familiar hand caught him. It was Jobon.

"It's okay now, I don't know what's going on but we're in this together. No matter what hardships we face or what events will come to haunt us from the past, we'll always stick together," Jobon said.

For the next 3 days, Yuki slept like a baby. All his wounds were healing constantly. He had fought a small army all of his own and exhausted so much energy, especially since he activated the full capabilities of his golden sword.

Once he had awoken from his slumber, he was greeted with the eager faces of Katsumi, Rui, and Jobon.

"Glad to see you alive!" they said simultaneously.

"You know it's rude to ditch your friends without saying a word to them right?" Rui lectured him.

"Wait, are you guys mad at me?" Yuki asked.

"Yes we're plenty mad, in fact, I'm furious right now, but all that matters now is that you're safe and sound!" Katsumi said.

"I'm curious, I thought that you were a nobody like us but you proved me wrong. You're crazy strong! If you don't mind me asking, what rank is your sword?" Katsumi continued.

"What do you mean rank? Weapons can have ranks?" Yuki said in a confused tone.

"Yes! How are you that strong and don't know the very basics of this world?" Katsumi said.

"When you double-tap on any weapon, a screen shows up telling you everything about it," Katsumi continued.

[Open inventory]

Yuki took out the golden sword from his inventory and held it in his hand. Just like he remembered, it had lost its previous red aura. Nevertheless, he double-tapped on the sword, and just like Katsumi said, a screen popped up.
