Chapter 12: Void Training [2]



"Next." Amon's emotionless voice echoed in the void.

Strangely, he felt a surreal and joyous feeling pass through his body at that moment.

But since there was a bigger matter at hand, he ignored it for now.

Digging his sword out, he shot forwards in the next moment, towards the incoming stampede of monsters.

Two crane like monsters at the front screeched with rage as he approached near, one of them opening its mouth and quickly bring it down, to snap his neck.

The second one flapped its wings with force, intending to create a gust and force Amon away from them.

He, however, remained unperturbed in his approach.

Arriving under their gargantuan bodies, he quickly shoved the pommel of his sword into the opened mouth of the crane, making it choke with pain.

However, he was not able to avoid the incoming gust, which hit his body head on, throwing him back along with his sword.

As he flew through the air with numerous small cuts grazing his body, another skill influx immediately impacted his brain.

It took no more than 2 seconds for it to pass, seconds in which the monsters thought, nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, they were proven wrong when a wide smirk planted itself on Amon's face, and he quickly threw his sword towards the gust crane.

Not expecting the sudden move, it was unable to dodge the incoming heavy odachi, that hit it right in the middle of its long neck.

Now weaponless, he had nothing to defend himself from the stampede of monsters.

Seeing their chance to march forwards, the monsters increased their speed, leaving the sword stricken crane behind.

Amon did not move at the sudden charge. Rather, he waited for them to close in until the last moment.

And just when the horde was inches away from his body, he disappeared from their sight once again, leaving them utterly confused.

It was only a few seconds later, when they heard a sharp scream resound throughout the air, that their heads turned back.

Only to witness another death as the boy dragged the already stuck sword down the neck of the injured crane, ending its life.

Again, just like before, an inexplicable and cherishing feeling rose up in his chest, one that he couldn't ignore this time and he looked down, finding a strange system window that he might have also missed before.

[The Void inside you grows larger..]

'Huh?' He abruptly thought, only for it to be a grave mistake as in the next second, his body was rammed by giant bull like monster, sending him crashing into the buildings.

Blood splattered out of his mouth as pain overwhelmed his whole body.

Amidst the countless pile of corpses, shrouded in cold crimson bloody fog, the boy who was responsible for all this bloodshed, sat down tiredly with his back to a wall

With one eye missing, one arm completely bitten off and one leg dangling due to a gaping injury at his waist, the boy's body was mushy mess of blood.

With his head lowered, Amon gasped with deep and large breaths.

So many times he had come face to face with death, and even though he knew it was just training, a deep instinct inside him told him to keep fighting.

Fight for his life. Fight for his life.

And at some point, the lines inside his head changed.

Fight for blood. Fight for blood.

However, they did not last long because the last remaining creatures finally died down to his

blood.

Now, sitting with his back against the building, a victorious smile crept up his face.

He had done it.

He had killed all 100 Void Beasts.

He had emerged victorious.

And in the next second, he fell unconscious.

Unaware of the space molding around him back to what it was before, and also unware of.....

The two warm hands that cupped his face and brought him close to their chest.

"You did well, my dear."
