10 I guess this is why its called the Cancel System, huh?

Zhu Jianyu stood up. The bigger goblin stood in place swinging the club wildly towards him. Zhu Jianyu looked around and saw two more smaller goblins walk up. They all looked at each other, and started charging all at once towards him. Zhu Jianyu strafed towards one of the smaller goblins and picked it up by its neck. The huge goblin went to smash Zhu Jianyu, but he had used the smaller goblin as a shield.

"Aaargh" The goblin yelled out as it got mashed to smithereens.

Zhu Jianyu chuckled. He charged up two more fireballs. The other small goblin took him by surprise and slashed him with a small knife. It chuckled and Zhu Jianyu fell to the ground. He tried standing up and moving the best he could, but to no avail. 'Dammit! They must have poisoned me!' he looked at his system menu and identified a small box in his system labeled "Poisoned". He looked worried as the two goblins approached.

'Wait...This is actually bad...' Zhu Jianyu thought as they got closer and closer. He couldn't move, all he could do was watch as they got ready to beat him to death.

"You're not going to give up yet are you?" A strange voice whispered to him. He glanced over at the cart. 'It wasn't PVL like in the past, this voice sounded different'.

"You've used these features of your system but have yet to use its true feature." It said to him.

Zhu Jianyu saw as menus and text from his system flashed in his vision. Finally, a message popped up saying,

'Activate Key ability: Cancel?'

The no option was greyed out, so Zhu Jianyu had no choice but to press yes. The second he did. The voice rang out to him for a final time.

"Your system is called the Cancelled System for a reason, you have to powerful ability to cancel almost anything! Use it to cancel the poison running through your veins!"

Without a second thought Zhu Jianyu used this new ability. 'Cancel the poison' he thought, and a blue glow radiated out of him. The goblins jumped back in fear from the light. Zhu Jianyu stood up and looked at his body.

"It worked! It actually worked" he said. His gaze went back to the two goblins. He tightened his fists and fire radiated around them. In a mere instant, he dashed in front of them. First, he and put his fire magic into his left hand, to punch a hole through the small goblin. He ripped his hand out and threw the dying goblin onto the road. After that he moved onto the bigger of the two. It struck the ground to intimate Zhu Jianyu, but his confidence didn't waver. He ran at full speed and jumped up high. His legs were wrapped in flames as his body slammed into the big goblin.

The towering goblins body collapsed on to the ground, raising dust into the air. It slowly raised up. Scorch marks covered the front of its body and clothes. Zhu Jianyu and the goblin both were off their feet. They both rushed to stand back up to make the next attack. Zhu Jianyu started making another fire ball, but this time he aimed it at the goblins club. The club ignited in flames and the goblin backed up from it. It started running towards the nearby forest. Zhu Jianyu finished getting up and wrapped his hands in fire again. It immediately went out this time.

"Huh? What happened to my fire?" He said as he watched the goblin slowly run out of sight. "Darn, I haven't practiced enough with this magic stuff to be good at it..."

Zhu Jianyu walked up to the cage, where the remaining villagers were left. After receiving many thanks from the villagers, he met back up with his friends who got captured.

"Persephone, where is everyone else?" Zhu Jianyu said, as he realized she was the only one left from the Survival Sect.

"The rest managed to slip out the cafe and run towards a nearby city, hoping to get help, they would have died, but I sneakily shot one of the goblins so it wouldn't go after them." she responded.

"What city would that be then? The only one close to here is...." Zhu Jianyu said as he looked at his map, "New Gutou?" He looked at Persephone, who gave a slight nod. "Then it's time to visit the big city!"

He called for his Flying Harper once again, but this time it didn't come. Zhu Jianyu read a small notation next to the skill, which read, "Cool down: 23 hours remain". He looked at the horses towards the forest.

"I guess the horses that ran into there might be useful." He said as he had remembered that they had ran into the forest when he broke the carriage. He told Persephone the plan, and they began exploring the forest in hopes of finding the horses. The sun began to rise, and send its rays through the forests trees. They began losing hope on finding the horses, until they heard a scuffle near them.

"THAT HAS TO BE THE HORSES!" Zhu Jianyu said as he ran towards the sound. He found the horses, but he also found the big goblin he fought. But this time it was different.

The goblin chuckled creepily. A dark aura started forming around it. Persephone caught up and was surprised at what she saw.

"That dark aura...It's a side affect of selling yourself to the Demon Lord!" She immediately jumped in front of Zhu Jianyu. "Stand back, I have to destroy him before he hurts anyone!" She said as she dashed in front of the goblin and went to attack it. The second she went to punch it, it dodged. Even Zhu Jianyu couldn't keep up with the speed of the punch, and yet it managed to dodge it without hesitation.

The goblin grabbed her arm and immediately threw her body against a nearby tree, shattering it instantly. She yelled out in pain as she collapsed to the ground.

Zhu Jianyu was scared shitless. "Persephone! You were supposed to protect me!" He quickly looked at tried making a fireball. It was weaker but he had a little bit of energy left. 'I got like 30 seconds left of power' He thought. His thinking process was immediately interrupted by the goblin being inches away from him. It went to swing at him.

"Oh shi-" He yelled as flames wrapped around his arm to block the hit.

The goblins swing smashed against Zhu Jianyus arm, but to both their surprise , it didn't send him flying. The flames cushioned the attack. The goblin started to raise his club again, but before it had a chance to do anything, Zhu Jianyu was ready to counterattack.

"If the Demon Lord gave you those powers, I'll just have to take them away! Cancel!" He yelled as he threw what seemed to be an invisible attack at the goblin.

The goblin chuckled. Nothing seemed to happen. He reached towards Zhu Jianyu but he started trembling. The aura around him started fading away. The aura completely vanished from the goblin.

"Power Split" Zhu Jianyu yelled as he sliced towards the goblin.

Zhu Jianyu jumped into the air, and struck the goblin. It immediately went to block the attack. But it was too late. Blood gushed from the goblin. It dropped onto its knees and collapsed .
