Stability

"Move your body more! They ain't going to wait before getting a chance to take your head off!" 'Fuck!' Sion according to Deblis's instructions swung his body in an arch formation just before what was called a 'Dilone' a beast of clear mixed proportions flew by him at top speeds. It's hideous snout was flat against it's face as it's fangs protruded quite far past it's upper lip. It's body was that of a lizard with spikes on it as clear defence that would retract when danger was either gone or eliminated. It's wings where it's arms as it landed on a sharp rock pillars and squealed at a loud enough frequency that it would cause people hearing, sight and vision loss if not prepared enough.

"You said this would be an easy one!" Shouted Sion clearly pissed off at his panda companion who just seemed to smirk from the sidelines with his bamboo stick.

"I said that? Didn't you say that? Anyway you chickening out now after such big talk? Come on, it's nearly the arena opening time. Times are wasting." Chuckled Deblis, as Sion cursed when the Dilone launched at him again.

"You need to feel it's pattern! The way it moves!" He added on as Sion dodged just between one of the spikes on the creatures body and it's tail. The beast was extremely large, it was about a quarter of the size and height of a stadium. That compared to Sion who still very much has a human appearance was like putting a baby chicken to fight an elephant.

'He's doing much better- no that would be a lie… if anything he's insanely strong. It's been a few months in my world that I had him participating in dungeons and terrains to get his senses and more at peek. But even though I thought 3 months or so we would reach so limit to his ability to grow. No such limit has been even noticeable-' a horrid cry of the Dilone had Deblis watch Sion as he weaved in and out effortlessly after just a few minor corrections to his coordinations to his attack patterns. 'It's frightening how terrifying he's grown, that I now think I know why the God Of Mystery interrogated him awhile back. No one in his world, his dimension should of possessed such ability in the first place'.

As Deblis watched Sion sneered at him, 'he's making me do all this for a snack on bamboo! Why the hell did I get stuck with a guy that goes to nightclubs in his world for head scratches? Isn't that just the biggest sign stating "I'm easy". Not to mention this thing is so damn massive I don't know where to start-' dodging it's left arm and wing Sion cursed, even with all his abilities how was he supposed to get the upper advantage? Thinking while he ran along it's scaled back, he thought about using his ability 'Giantification' that he managed to get during the tutorials. However that ability has been extremely hard to use since he'd gotten it, in fact it's caused him more broken bones and blood shed then his enemies combined.

- Death, (cause panic and confusion to enemies for 120secs )

- Life, (Heal only the body 5 times a day)

- Vanish, (Able to be undetected for 160secs)

- nullification (pain decreased by 60%) *active*

His abilities had increased by quite a bit since the whole new interface merge. It seemed that his abilities were quite average compared to some veterans like Deblis. When he was in his own world and dimension he felt overpowered but now it's like he went back to square one. Yet Sion had one thing that he was pretty sure now one else had-

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He had two status boards, for whatever the reason for the status interface having a separate screen then the one he originally had. Sion could combine these two status's together if he really needed to. Yet he's always mainly used the new interface that the Gods had given. He felt that if he relied too heavily on his other host status he'd never be able to level up his skills effectively. Over time he'd activated new features of both his old and new Host status boards, like being able to somewhat turn off 02 when he needed too.

Only when he really needed the system and 02 did he turn on that imaginary switch. He had to admit it was sometimes lonely without the voices in his head. The other voice labelled the beast had gone quiet to a point that if it wasn't for his nightmares that he had where he'd be staring at the creatures piercing blue eyes, he'd have forgotten that thing was still there- whatever it was.

He'd done research and more on what it could be but even in the God's church where most historical and articles of everything were. Nothing, not a single thing came up with his- condition.

'Shit!' Being swiped by a limb of the Dilone Sion was stretching this out for way too long. He dropped in a crouch position on one of the sharp pillars that the creature would use to shoot itself forward at him. Sion looked at the skills he was going to use and winced. 'This, this is going to fucken hurt', breathing out his ability tab flickered as he activated his own ability 'Death'. Sion may have stopped using his other status mostly but his skills on it weren't exactly hindering him to grow. Because the creature was much more powerful than him, this skill couldn't bring it instant death or even remotely close to it. 'If what my skill before that I used being 'Foresight' was correct, then the creature should experience temporary confusion- which should be enough' coughing up blood, Sion's right arm grew 10x larger than his original body. It grew so larger that veins pulsated and burst here and there causing his health bar to go down some more.

It was a good thing he had 60% nullification as a passive skill, otherwise this would of hurt more. Not to say it didn't look bad, it looked like a horror show. Sion saw the creature as it swung at some pillars of the terrain thinking it was an enemy. His right arm grew fur and sharp claws as Sion launched himself off the pillar he was on. Now this scene looked like the baby chick got injected with steroids as it attacked the confused elephant. As funny as that sounds Sions arm was now the size of one of the Dilone's legs as Sion's eyes grew pitch black as well as some fangs protruded from his lips. He swung his body sideways so harshly using the right side of the Dilone's body to fling himself up before he barrelled down and cut it's head off with his massive long clawed right arm.

Deblis who had been on his 28th bamboo stick sighed as he made his way over to Sion who nursed his arm as it shrunk to it's original size.

'Fuck that hurt so fucken badly' he grit his teeth as he used his 'Life' ability to heal effectively and control the pain while bringing his health bar back up. It was weird with the health bar on his status's, they both went down when he fought and got injured and both go back up to full health when he uses his skill 'Life'. It was very confusing because, what would happen if his health bar from the God's hit zero but his other health bar still had at least half? Would he die or would something else happen? 'Should I test it-'

"You're becoming reckless Sion, you shouldn't use that skill until you can effectively control it." Deblis whacked Sion's back as he stood up. Sion had grown again over the months he'd been here, he was now 6'8. Deblis was only 5'11 so this height difference was effective to whack him in the back when unimpressed with his actions.

"What did you want me to do if not what I just did?" Sion retorted in slight irritation, his tempter had been getting harder to control as he grew. Even Deblis noticed that and took him to a doctor who prescribed him a medicine called 'stability'. Unlike the blockers Sion took in his world, stability was used in many scenarios. For Sion it was more effective as a suppression of his anger which would cause irrational behaviour on Sion's part. But he himself was aware of that too as he swallowed a pill and breathed out heavily as a blue aura light engulfed him before disappearing. "Sorry Deblis, it's getting harder to control-"

"I understand, ya don't need to apologise to me. We both know the effects when you don't take your suppression pills. With that said, I collected the rewards that were dropped from the Dilone. You should have everything else from the system" nodding Sion stored the items Deblis got from his kill into his inventory as the two started to head towards a portal gate.

This hadn't been a dungeon Sion and Deblis where in but a terrain and habit of exclusive Dilone's, Creptlin's and Marrow's, all equally as hideous as each other. As Sion and Deblis came out the other side after passing through the portal they ended up in a full crowded arena.

"Jesus, there's already a full house" Deblis spat as he pulled out a new bamboo stick as people chatted around them and where talking about battle plans and more.

Suddenly as it did many months ago the sky above where everyone stood cracked open, the once chatting, laughing and more died immediately as morbid faces, glaring and more where directed at the God's, Goddess, demons and more that looked down at them. Even those who where in service to one of these other worldly beings grit their teeth in disgust.
