Universal Power System

Mako quickly selected “YES” and felt a moment of weakness as the energy was sapped out of him and then a cool and refreshing feeling which was the instant recovery of his body to its peak state.

His fractured bones instantly healed, his internal bleeding stopped, and his broken bones were quickly put back together.

The cooling sensation was refreshing for Mako, but now he had to think fast as pulling this kind of feat would be utterly impossible for a cadet, and he would be subjected to interrogation and could be blamed for fraud and cheating if he removed himself from the boulder, in a completely healed state with no explanation.

Mako knew that this was a critical injury and that patrolling officer would rush to eliminate him any second, so he didn’t have time to come up with an elaborate plan.

So instead, he just resorted to doing something which couldn’t be explained and use that as a disguise for his miraculous healing.

As for what kind of unexplainable move he would do…

Well, it just so happened that, Mako had been receiving a lot of physical attacks from the regular Terra Beetles, and then he took three very massive physical hits from the Beetle King without ever actually physically countering back.

This led to a very specific skill under a certain title triggering by itself and it was slowly building up power with every physical hit Mako received, with a huge amount of it contributed by the Beetle King’s extremely strong three hits.

Mako quickly opened up his titles tab, and right there a red bar filled to the brim was displayed in front of him with the following prompts.

[Rage meter 100% full]

[Does the user want to enter rage mode?]

[YES/NO]

A pulse of energy erupted from Mako as it quickly spread out in all directions. The patrolling officers and even the Terra Beetle King who got hit with it paused for a moment as they were confused about what had just happened.

‘Why did an energy pulse just erupt from Mako’s embedded body and why didn’t it do anything to them?’ These were the thoughts of both of the patrolling officers who were stopped after that pulse crossed their bodies.

[At the military headquarters] 𝑏𝑒𝘥𝑛𝘰𝑣𝑒𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Master Sable and the main commander were clenching their fists tightly as they saw the live feed of Mako getting absolutely demolished by the Terra Beetle King with no patrolling guards coming in time to intercept the attack.

All the other officials knew to keep their mouths shut at this intense moment as both the main commander and Master Sable who had just arrived were unconsciously releasing their aura from anger while focusing on the live feed being displayed.

They watched with anger as the patrolling officers quickly came on the scene and split, with one trying to reach Mako, while the other distracted the Beetle King.

However before anything could happen, they witnessed the pulse being released from Mako’s body that made the officers and the Beetle King stop in their tracks for a moment.

This was something completely unique and new as neither the main commander nor Master Sable had ever seen a move like this but were quite confused and surprised to see that the pulse didn’t do anything besides momentarily distract the officers and the Beetle King.

Neither of those could have expected what happened next as it was truly a scene that unless you saw it with your own eyes, you wouldn’t believe no matter what.

*************

[Rage Mode had been activated]

After that moment of confusion, the Beetle King was about to resume dashing towards Mako’s barely living body regardless of the patrolling officer trying to intercept but then suddenly all of them started to feel intense pressure being put on them as if they were in the presence of being with superior strength to them.

The patrolling officers were even more confused as all the patrolling officers were of the same rank, so who could have arrived on the scene that was oppressing even them?

They tried to sense the origin of this pressure and it was then that they realized and were completely shocked and embarrassed because the intense amount of pressure was actually being emitted from Mako.

Before any of them could do anything, they observed Mako’s entire body erupting in flames that didn’t completely resemble flames but were quite close and red in color.

Mako removed his arms from the embedded boulder and used them to push his head out of the boulder as well.

As soon as his head emerged from the boulder, his face became visible as his eyes were glowing red with anger and what followed next was an incredibly loud and mighty roar that was louder than any other Mako had ever produced announcing the reactivation of Mako’s strongest skill.

After finishing his roar, Mako quickly and wildly removed himself from the boulder completely and jumped back down on the ground to be greeted by three beings, the two patrolling officers and of course the Beetle King.

[A single target has been selected]

Mako’s body was completely healed and there was no sign of any injury on his body. His military uniform was completely torn at this point and he quickly ripped his shirt off his body, revealing his well-built bare physique to everyone.

The patrolling officers were left absolutely speechless as they couldn’t believe what was happening in front of their eyes. They had never seen such a skill used from what they believed was the fire elemental skill tree that could provide the user with such a great boost in power and heal all battle injuries.

The entire round table circle had their jaws dropped open as they witnessed Mako’s miraculous recovery and a brand new skill that none of them had seen before.

However, in his current state, Mako wasn’t in the mood to show off or play games as after affirming the Beetle King as his one and only target, he let out another battle cry and dashed with insane speed toward the Beetle King.

Mako completely ignored the patrolling officers and ran straight past them toward the Beetle King who gulped from the terrifying pressure that Mako was releasing and quickly got out of sight as their obligatory duty was denied as the cadet was healthy and still able to fight.

The Terra Beetle King had a sense of intelligence but it wasn’t enough to actually understand the severity of the opponent that was about to face as it also rushed forward with no fear, to face Mako head-on in a physical clash.

The Beetle King utilized the same move it had used a few moments ago which had launched Mako into the boulder, using one of its stronger limbs to swipe straight at Mako.

However, this time, as the limb came down to strike Mako, Mako actually grabbed the limb itself and blocked the attack. The Beetle King’s attack was still quite strong that pushed Mako back out 10 meters but it didn’t do any significant damage to Mako as his own double strength has canceled out most of the Terra Beetle King’s strength.

Mako could see the surprised and shocked look on the Beetle King’s emotionless face, but he didn’t care as he quickly ran back for another strike.

The Beetle King tried to attack again, but this time…

[High Jump has been activated]

Mako launched himself into the air, dodging the strike completely, and was now at the face level of the Beetle King. The Beetle King extended its mandibles to shop Mako in half, but as soon as it did that, Mako reacted by propelling himself a bit higher by releasing his fire aura.

The mandibles missed Mako by just an inch and now the Beetle King had overextended and was vulnerable to attacks.

Mako landed on its mandibles and then activated Dash to quickly scale the mandibles and reach its ugly face. Without any hesitance or remorse, Mako clocked back his punch and smashed it into the Beetle King’s right eye.

EEEEKKKKK!!

The Beetle King screamed out in pain as one of its eyes was completely crushed by Mako’s great strength; however, the pain was just starting as with his hand still stuck in its eye cavity, Mako activated his red fire aura and released as much fire straight into the Beetle King as he could.

The Beetle King screamed in agony as its inside was starting to get cooked by the intense fire that was getting pumped into its body.

It tried to shake Mako off, but Mako was clamped onto its face determined to kill it in the most gruesome way, by melting all of its inside.

With desperation kicking in, the Beetle King released all of his Lightning aura to the mas and covered its whole body in it. This wasn’t a skill or anything. It was a pure level 7 Lightning aura that was circulating throughout its body and it also entered Mako’s body which was connected to it.

*ZAP!*

A crazy amount of electricity flowed through Mako’s body and even though he had a decent resistance to it, prolonged exposure would start to pile on the damage and ruin his nervous system, forcing him to release himself from the Beetle King’s body and escape.

Mako landed back onto the ground and without wasting a single second covered his fists in the red flames, copying a move from Mikhail’s book and rushing back in to delete the Beetle King from existence and finally claim victory.
