Chapter 16

「Congratulations You have created a new Skill」

「What would you like to call this Skill?」

A notification has appeared, similar to the one that appeared during the creation of my 「Inventory」skill. [I think I should call it Comet]

「Name:Comet. Skill type:Magical/Physical. Mana consumption:3200」

["Mana consumption:3200" yet I don't need any to use it... How Funny]

I stand In a crater brought forth with my powers, I start to remember my father's words:

[Destruction always comes at a cost Mir, but Creation will cost more than anything. there was a saying "To Create one must first Destroy". To pay the price for Creation you'll first need to Destroy and then pay some more]

[Do you know about the Ice Giant, Mir?] asked my father when I was 8.

[It's one of your Mothers inventions, the Gigantic War Robots, that I recently put up in the market. Soon every Planetary Union will have at least a million of them.]

I was always confused by my parents, they always loved life, and its beauty. and yet they created and sold killing machines. that was why at the age of 11, they were taken away from me by their own creations.

I always though that their love for beauty was a lie and they only loved destruction..., but now I understand what they were thinking.

As I stand there tears streaming down my face, I laugh, I laugh at my stupidity for thinking that my parents were crazy.

and that's when an arrow collides with the back of my skull, yet I laugh even harder

[seems like my comrades don't like what I did]

A full force Sword light strike came rushing at me from Maika, but it was all for naught. the Sword Light collided with my neck and suddenly twisted around it like a scarf and dissipated.

I take my silver gauntlets out of my 「Inventory」with the boots and equip them, yet the attacks don't stop.

At the moment Maika was the closest to me, thus I used a combination of 「Void Slice」and 「Curse Flame」to create the black flaming claws on my hand, then using air magic I create a spiraling vortex, for maximum speed.

As the attack left my hand, suddenly Maika's left arm was missing... turned to mush, with her shield.

As Sal freezes for a millisecond, I take out my backup clothes, to look good when I deal with them.

Lukas heals Maika from the rear, whilst the pale-faced Zack just leaves.

As I take a look at the formation of my ex-teammates, they seemed to realize that I was thinking of taking out their healer first.

As Sal and Maika rush back towards Lukas to protect him, Lukas himself creates a magical barrier, that stopped attacks from going in but they could come out, that's why Sal kept showering me with arrows.

I am all up for a war of attrition, but I just don't care enough for that at the moment. thus I use my new 「Comet」skill on a small scale, using way less 「Acceleration」runes than my previous one, and only localizing it on my left gauntlet. as the gauntlet left my hand, I use「Horn Charge」to give it a smooth flight.

as the gauntlet gets closer to the barrier, I try to open up a hole in it with external mana manipulation, in the last moment a perfect size hole opens, but Maika uses her sword to deflect it, sadly the gauntlet's fingers break but so does the sword. but the knuckles and the arm brace continue on their path colliding with Maika and knocking her into Sal.

As the two were bunched together, I used my Space magic and 「Dark roar」 to create a vortex that swallowed them, leaving behind a spherical indentation on the ground and a tiny ball of I don't want to know.
