Unwavering spear [2]

[System: The skill [Sound manipulation] & [Illusion] has been conjured within the targeted area!!!

[Sound manipulation]: The caster can manipulate the sound to increase or decrease its amount. Anything within the vicinity of the targeted area will be affected which last up to 30 minutes

[Illusion]: The caster can project any form of imagery into his targeted area which can fool anyone who hasn't trained their eyes

Status: Every nook and cranny of the museum will have its sound decrease to its lowest option. None shall be able to hear any voices, or even if an explosion will occur. The ruins of the museum are overshadowed by the lifelike illusion projected by the caster himself]

'Those two seemed to have made such a ruckus within their second encounters with one another. It's too early for you to meddle with the Vermilion circle, Neon. As the oracles substitute I'll make sure you'll never get caught at the very start. However, this is by far the only thing that I can bestow upon your journey. If I were to meddle any further than this it'll negatively impact the vision of the great oracle,'

Just to be sure there wasn't anyone who'll try and make their way to the museum, he made a direct call

[Chief of police: Hello im officer Gregory Smith, who am I speaking to as of now? I'm currently occupied with our most pressing issue~

Felix: Officer Greg, it's me, Felix Sinestrou. I've already cast a wide area search within the vicinity of the Evergalze. I'm not detecting any other terrorists apart from the ones who attempted to wreak havoc upon our streets

Chief of police: Is that so? Then I'll continue with my investigation. One of my men has apprehended an unfamiliar face~

Felix: There's no need for the interrogation, that guardian whom you've taken custody of is one of the mercenaries I requested. It's best if you don't do anything hastily, or else will get in trouble with the guardian association. You and your crew did a job well done, I'll be there in a matter of seconds, before I arrive I want the guardian uncuffed

Chief of police: Will do... Officer Gregory out!]

"Aura manifestation, Halberd frontal assault," The museum soon fell to ruin as every structure which held it standing was no longer present

"Childish tantrums won't amount to anything. Now that you've lost focus you can't even predict my moves. Also, I suggest you shouldn't shout your skill activation, it makes it easier to predict your attacks. Elemental sharpening, Darkness," His aura changed from a brilliant glow to an ever-devouring blade shadow

With no source of light, his weapon became unperceivable along with the transition of handling his sword. He held it with both of his hands and raises his blade and performed a downward slash. The surface was split in between, but his enemy manages to escape his overwhelming strike

"Shut up, shut up, shut up!!! What do you think you're right about whether or not I've correctly performed my attacks? You're just a soulless monster who only knows how to kill..." His spear became lighter and his thrust became faster along with its force became increasingly fierce

His anger continues to grow violently and it began to affect his judgment. Neon parried his full-on assault which became increasingly predictable with his eyes. When Sakkari disappeared from his view he swung through his back and front and he ended by swinging from his left to his right. Sakkari's speed overlapped the capacity of his sight, but his sheer hatred lit the pave the way for Neon's blade

"What makes you believe that you're right? You don't know anything about me!!!? My pain, my sorrow, and even loneliness I carried after your people murdered my family!!!" He appeared in Neon's back and used the blade attached to his spear and performed a horizontal slash

His attack was parried but its force was far greater than Neon could've ever taken and his body flew throughout their battlefield. The tight and narrow room they fought in can no longer withstand their strength. When Neon recovered from his fall, he finds himself near the entrance. Its structure was spacious and the pillars which held this building altogether were used as Sakkari's stepping stone

"Advanced spear arts, Empowered throw!!!" Like a skilled sniper, Sakkari jumps to another location upon executing his powerful shot

With the use of his skill 'Return' his spear appeared in his hands and he performs another attack. Neon was a sitting duck and he could only parry whilst his enemy would continuously use the pillars to his advantage. But in the end, his body was pierced, it wasn't due to his speed but in their fight Sakkari only held a single spear

He never thought he'd hidden another one from their battle and Sakkari slowly made his way to his prey. But something was in the midst of their battlefield, a being that he couldn't sense was within the pillars. Before that enigma could reach him, he hasten his movements, and when he reaches his goal, the victor reigns supreme

"You finally bit the cheese, little mouse," In that spacious part of the entrance, Sakkari's body limbs were eviscerated in due time

But that wasn't the thing that broke his spirit, that voice, the voice he'd heard was the same as the one he struck. When his body reaches the surface he turns and sought his target, but the thing he sees filled his eyes full of dread. The target whom he thought was his foe was nothing but a shadow that attained a vessel similar in shape, height, and aura. The dark hid its true nature when he couldn't perceive its appearance

[Twilight arts:

(Living shadow) Summon - What makes the living fear the dark is not its pressuring aura, the counterpart of light, or even its true nature. The living fears the darkness for the things which lurked, things beyond their knowledge, beings full of mysteries. One of its denizens is the living shadow, a being who mimics their summoners

Stats: 25% of the guardian's overall stats

Cost: 40 mana

Special effect: If cast in the dark, this will attain a sentience and 25% of the caster's overall stats

__________________________

Magic damage: 20

Cost: 30 mana

Special effect: If cast in the dark, the length of the thread will be increased by 50% of its maximum length]

"Damn you~ Uggh..." He passed out upon losing a large amount of his blood which escaped from the gaping hole of his severed limbs

[Status: The guardian weapon [Twilight blade] has awakened!!! After calculating the guardian's merits, its form will be based on the requirements you've fulfilled

[True form]: All the sword techniques of the 'Twilight emperor' can be utilized. If there are a bunch of skills that are locked, you'll need to gain a higher grade

Bonus: The guardian is detected to already possess the skill 'Twilight arts' the weapon's first requirement bonus will be changed. Instead of attaining the skill, your skill 'Twilight arts' increased from (C+)-> (B-)]

'That's strange, im certain this place hadn't been enchanted by the spell illusion and sound manipulation. Did someone try to lend me a helping hand...? They must be the vigilantes I've heard about from the news, do they think im one of their own?'

'It doesn't matter to me who's the one behind this spell, at the very least I leached off from being mistaken as their own. But now that I've found that cloth, it seems that I can no longer pretend to be sightless from the truth. There's a conspiracy that's about happening in this country,'

'Whatever it is I got myself involved in its entirety, but I'm no longer weak... My armies are vastly growing and instead of four talents, I've found the one who'll be the fifth. Since your life is nowhere near its end, I can't turn you into one of my own. However, I can still do this little trick which I haven't yet tested on a live test subject,'

[System: One of the guardian's special abilities has been triggered!!!

[Manipulative hivemind]: From all the catastrophic monsters which appeared, the hive mind was different. Instead of a tall towering beast, it came in a form of a malicious virus that spreads through the populous. Those infected will become a new vessel for a single being who harbors many vessels]

"Those who lost to me in battle shall serve as my pawn... The victor takes all whilst the loser kneels in his presence. I cast the manipulative skill Domination," A large black liquid gathered Sakkari's limbs and soon it mend his wound, and the liquid took root in its new home

[Statys: Manipulative hivemind skill [Domination] has been successfully applied!!!

[Domination]: Once a being has been branded of this ability their now shackled by the judgment of the caster. Domination is an inferior form of the skill 'Conquest' which will turn your targets into perfect emotionless soldiers. Do you truly wish to grant your target freedom even after they become your slaves?]

'There's no need to turn Sakkari into a mindless puppet... Even though hes branded as a slave for life he'll never suffer and gain bountiful benefits if he complies. Yawn... I'm tired since im about to go home, how about I drop off my slave at the police department. Homunculus shift, Draconic wings,'
