Chapter 367 The System’s Discovery
Fein didn't intend to use his abyssal sword to fight the monster. Or else he might accidentally kill his friend with his attack power.
"He's finally fighting. Let's see, my intuition is correct." Julian muttered quietly.
The Ranger's Eye team, the civilians, almost everyone's eyes were now on Fein. Because this would determine the lives of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands. If the monster didn't die, it will continue its killing free in the future.
Michael chugged down three bottles of advanced degu energy recovery potion and sat beside Gregory and Anthony.
Michael turned his head to Gregory. "Who do you think will win?"
"It's a no-brainer." Gregory smiled.
Fein stretched his left hand and caressed the tortoise shell with his palm with a heavy, deep sigh. 'I'm sorry, my friend.'
DING!
System: The system has discovered a foreign, abnormal consciousness inside the body. An entity born from mutation and negative emotions.
A sudden familiar beep rang in his head, which startled him. After all, it's been a while since he heard the system dinging sound.
'What do you mean by that? Brick doesn't really have control of his body and the one who killed the civilians isn't really him?'
System: Yes, the host.
Fein took a deep breath and closed his eyes. This means that he could finally find the proper way to save his friend! 'System, how can I save my friend?'
DING!
System: The host needs to attack the abnormal consciousness using a spiritual attack since the monster exists as an abnormal spirit.
'So I just need to obtain an offensive spiritual skill, right? Or could I use my abyssal sword to target the consciousness selectively?'
The system became silent for a second before it responded.
System: The host can do that with a killer of concepts. But you can't kill the monster at the moment since your friend's soul fragment currently relies on the monster's soul energy to survive. If the monster's soul suddenly died. Your friend's soul fragment will get extinguished.
'Then what should I fucking do!?' Fein felt desperate.
System: Please be calm the host. You can first heal your friend's soul using spiritual healing artifacts or medicine. Once his soul was fully healed, you can eradicate the monster's soul then. Simple as that, idiotic host.
'Ehh? Why didn't you say early? Well, thank you for your help again. You are really my lucky star!' Fein felt embarrassed as he heard the system call him an idiot. 'Well, since I can't kill this monster's consciousness currently, then I'll have to knock him out and imprison it somewhere until I could find an item that could heal my friend's soul?'
Seeing the system not responding, Fein could only sigh. But he was really thankful for the system's timely and valuable assistance!
Fein took a look at the tortoise on the ground and thought. 'Brick, I finally found a way to save you. Just hang in there and I'll do my best to find a way to recover your soul fragment! Once you come back, I'll smack the shit out of you for being so stubborn!'
With that, he channeled thirty percent of his power into his arms. And the tortoise's entire shell exploded into pieces. 'Opppsss, it seems I overdid it?'
Julian and the people watched this with their mouths wide open. They saw how Michael, who was a B rank degu user, and also the second to injure the monster, becomes helpless in front of the shell. But who would have thought that with just a slight exertion of the guy's palm, the shell that seems to be impregnable would get destroyed like that?
Michael, Gregory, and Anthony looked amused at the reactions of the crowd. Only the three of them really knew Fein's true power.
"Who's that guy? So he's the strongest of the group? I thought it was the first guy who fought the monster."
"Didn't you see? The first guy exhausted himself in his final attack, but he couldn't do anything to the Tortoise's shell. But the last guy made it explode with just one grip!"
"My intuition is true." Julian heaves a sigh of relief, and the worry in his heart disappeared.
As the shell exploded, the monster's silhouette was gradually revealed in everyone's eyes.
"I didn't expect you will be able to destroy my defense that easily." A black lizard man stood unscathed. "I don't know how Michael, a mere B rank, managed to heavily injure me like that. Now, I have to transform into a lizard just to enhance my regeneration speed!"
Fein felt annoyed just by listening to the monster's incomprehensible blabbering. It was like there are multiple bees in his ears.
'System, can you translate these monsters' words for me?'
System: ...
Seeing this, Fein was helpless. Then he stared the monster directly in the eyes and says calmly. "I can't understand even a single word from your mouth. But I know that you can understand me. Leave my friend's body peacefully. Don't wait for me to remove you."
𝑓r𝘦𝘦𝘄eb𝒏𝙤vel.c𝙤𝙢
"Remove me? How can you remove me? I'm the absolute controller of this body! Can you kill me? If you kill me, your friend will also perish! Hahaha!'
Although Fein couldn't understand a word, he could feel the mocking in its voice.
Before the monster could close his mouth, Fein appeared beside him with an indifferent expression.
Then he felt a strong grip on his neck and his body rose from the ground. He couldn't breathe! And he started to choke from his saliva.
Fein tighten his grip on the monster's neck and threw it to the ceiling. Then he jumped high and swung his fist into the monster's body.
BOOM!
A large hole appeared from the flooring of the stadium where the monster landed and cracks started to form.
"Although I can't kill you. It doesn't stop me from making you feel pain! Only knowing what pain is can you understand how important the chance that I gave you is." Fein's cold voice sounded, which brought a chill to the listeners' spines.
The monster felt a huge gap in his stomach and his intestines, and the other organ was in a mess.
"Remember. I'm only using five percent power of my punches. And I'm a sword user. So I now ask you. Do you want to dance!?" Fein smirked as he waited for his whole life to say this line.
