Difficulty: Gold
Priam burst out laughing as he read the notification. All he had to do was kill three people and he'd finally have information about his family. Thoughtfully, Priam theorized that the System's rewards should be tailored to the user.
However, the Baron was under no illusions. The reward would be hard to come by. The Revenant Generals might be scattered over several domes or even the entire Moon. But that wasn't important. The war between him and the Revenants had become too personal, and he had too much to gain. The Revenants had started this war and the System was giving him every reason to finish it.
Priam closed his right fist and clenched it. [Threat Killer - Bronze] offered eleven extra Strength points and Priam took a few seconds to get used to his new strength. His Dexterity helped him control his body perfectly, but thanks to Micro, he realized he was no longer entirely in control of his body. Priam constantly used his Supremacy to get used to his body, but this increase in strength was artificial.
When Priam gained Strength points with a skill, the increase was gradual and his body adapted naturally to his new physical strength. STR +1' was simply a System notification informing Priam of his new status.
"I wonder if it's the System or the aether that's improving my body..." wondered Priam.
"Aether and training," replied Sphinx. "The System simply shows you the best way to progress. Your progress is faster thanks to it, but it's mostly the aether that works its magic."
Priam squinted. "Even for the Titles?" he asked.
Sphinx remained silent for a few seconds. "I don't know..." She looked lost and Priam took her in his arms before pondering the problem. Understanding this new world and its rules was paramount if he was to become the best. Not the best player, but the best cheater...
Reflecting on his next fight against the Lord of Viracocha, Priam saw two possibilities for improvement. Firstly, stealing Anatole's urn to use the Corrupted Tear. Secondly, he hadn't forgotten that [Heartless], [Brainless], and [Axolotl or Hydra?] were ready to evolve and just needed a catalyst. The Evolution Token would do for one of them. But which one...?
"You've still got some progress to make, but I suppose it's a start," said Sphinx as she watched the dust from Albin's crystal blow away by the wind. Priam shrugged.
"You know, Sphinx, I've just started wielding the aether. For humans, it's quite normal to make progress. At first, we're rarely at ease, but with perseverance, we eventually get good."
Sphinx looked at him with eyes full of curiosity. "I understand... You're weak initially but strong in the end, right?"
"Right."
Sphinx looked at him for a few seconds, then said worriedly. "But you're still weak, Priam. When will you be strong?"
The young man blinked in a stupor. After a second, he answered, "I'm already the best of the humans. And it only took me about ten days," he said, puffing out his chest.
"I've only got three days and I'm stronger than you though," Sphinx replied innocently.
Priam looked at her for a few moments. Sphinx was messing with him. "You've got to be..."
Thunder echoed in Priam's skull. The world blurred before disappearing as the Baron was brutally struck on the chin. His body flew from its place, crashing a few meters away. The cathedral's roof was steep and Priam began to slide down it, half sliding, half rolling. As he reached the roof's edge, his body toppled over into the void.
On the way down, his head fell back and blood rushed to his brain. Oxygenated again, his brain woke up and Priam opened his eyes. The pain was intense, but Priam was focused on survival. Almost automatically, he used [Kinetic Control] to halt his fall. He hadn't seen the attack, so the opponent was good and a trap potentially awaited him below.
Five meters from the ground, Priam threw his body sideways with a kinetic charge, landing three meters from his initial point of impact. The cobblestones exploded where he should have landed. Priam raised his head in time, and his inhuman Perception picked out a sniper on a rooftop over two hundred meters away.
Without thinking, Priam charged forward. The pain was driving him insane and he wanted to hurt the sniper - he wanted revenge. Micro managed to calm his pain, but it sometimes overcame his control. Using [Kinetic Control], [Athleticism] together with [Art of Movement], Priam dashed. He was no longer thinking about Sphinx, the Revenants, or his own safety. He had been attacked and the enemy was going to die.
Priam was much faster than his mist, so he couldn't teleport next to the sniper. The sniper wouldn't have waited when he saw the mist advancing. It took Priam just under six seconds to run the two hundred meters. With a gigantic leap, Priam found himself on the roof of a hotel that had served as the sniper's hideout. Under his considerable weight - his Constitution increased his mass - the roof cracked.
Lvl Up: [Athletics] lvl 18
AGI +1
Instantly, Priam felt his skill and Micro develop a new bond. Priam could already feel every part of his body. Now he could also individually influence each of his muscles to use the desired energy. Smiling, he decided to put his new skill to the test.
He took a few seconds to search the corpse before rising to his feet. Priam took one last look at the dead man. It was the first human he'd killed. The revenant who had arrived at the Dome didn't count. She wasn't human, but more importantly, Priam had been emotionally wounded and tortured a few hours before. He'd had no empathy for the murderess.
Conversely, he had empathy for the soldier. He had fought for his family and Priam respected that. He'd killed the man in self-defense, but he had no regrets.
The absence of a tongue and lower jaw prevented him from uttering a few words, but Priam knew he wouldn't forget the dead man. He wouldn't forget the sniper's weakness. He had been weak - that was his true mistake.
Someone could always kill me to get ahead on his own path. If I want to be free, I have to be the best...
Turning his gaze to the second sniper, Priam stepped forward and straddled the mist.
Priam stood in front of the snipers' hideout. After killing the second sniper, he'd heard a walkie-talkie crackle. He'd never been able to find the rest of their team, but Sphinx had come up with something. She'd watched his karma for a second before declaring that she'd discovered the enemies.
Priam had followed her for two kilometers before arriving in front of a building resembling a Roman bathhouse.
Shrugging, Priam entered and Sphinx followed in silence. Her little tail was dragging on the ground. She seemed sad that she had failed to protect her friend and had sprouted adorable-looking claws. However, this lovely picture was shattered because the claws easily sank into the ground.
Priam would have liked to comfort his friend, but pain prevented him from finding the right words. Even if he had the words, he still lacked the tongue to speak.
I'm a fool. I'm weak. But that will change...Priam promised himself. Sphinx looked at him for a moment before nodding. She understood him.
The interior of the building was quite empty. Sphinx took the lead and Priam followed. After walking for about ten seconds and down a flight of steps, they came to a door.
"They're behind it and there are three of them," said Sphinx.
Priam nodded, then lifted his leg before kicking the door open. He dashed inside without waiting for the debris to hit the floor. His eyes adjusted instantly to the dim light, and he spotted three men around a table. On the table was an impressive display of firearms.
Priam lunged at them as they each reached for a weapon. Priam threw his spear at one of the men and pierced his head. He reached the second just as the latter closed his hand on a gun. An elbow to the ribs took his breath away and Priam snatched the weapon from his hands. He wanted answers.
The third man hadn't had time to move before Sphinx had decapitated him. His headless body was still sitting on the chair and Sphinx was sitting on the table looking at the weapons.
The man Priam was holding whispered, breathless. "You're going to die. You don't know who you've provoked."
Priam's gaze was fixed on the back of the room and he barely heard him. In the darkness were five open crates filled with hand grenades.
Priam smiled. Santa Claus.
