Path of Carnage

Erik pushed open the unlocked door, stepping into a long corridor. The system's voice echoed in his mind.

<There are multiple hostiles detected on the other side of corridor. It looks like they're setting up another ambush.>

<They never learn, do they?> Erik said.

<Apparently not. It's like they have a collective brain cell, and it's on vacation.>

Erik chuckled. He reached the end of the corridor, a heavy metal door barring his way.

<Another one…>

This time, he would not play it subtle. He channeled his mana, the A-rank brain crystal was pumping mana like never before.

<Ah, this is what it feels like. It's much more easy.>

<Right… There was a reason why people despise weak brain crystals.>

Erik directed the mana towards the Frostwind Fire Tempest's neural links.

"Time for some fireworks."

The air crackled with frost and flame, and the temperature fluctuated wildly.
