Fear

"What was that flame?"

"Tribal executioner flame, I got it from the family catacombs. We use it to get rid of bodies."

"Based on their screams, it's rather painful."

"Yes, extremely it should be a worthy music for master." Cyra didn't say anything patted Jade's head.

Well, at least I won't be bored anymore, but this girl isn't exactly sane. At least she won't be complaining about me killing her family.

Cyra took away Jade and began ascending towards her next target to get even more [Frost Blood].

In the meantime, she taught Jade a technique that she modified in her free time, [True Path] from the [Left Path]. The modified version is capable of increasing all three stats together.

After Jade learned it thoroughly, Cyra began feeding her with blood that she took out from her storage.

The blood was Jade's family legacy as she was drinking their gods and Kir's blood. It helped her to advance from [Lesser Prime] to [Prime] in no time.

Upon arrival at level 1568, Cyra sent Jade to play in a school while entering the research facility.

Since the book of Earth was directly inside her body, she could fuel her body with everything that she had at her disposal.

After making her preparations, Cyra disappeared from her previous localization and appeared right before the research facility.

From the surrounding terrain, hundreds of turrets risen and lock onto her.

-Identify your self or we will be opening fire-

-Identify your self or we will be opening fire-

-Identify your self or we will be opening fire-

-Fire-

Even though the weapons weren't that advanced, they had the advantage of numbers, also; in this distance, the turrets had a rather big spray.

Even so, the firepower that they displayed was overwhelming, and in a matter of seconds, an entire city was missing behind Cyra.

As the rounds screamed past her head, Cyra began to wonder how long till everything stops.

The missile turrets always exploded in her face and unleashed even stronger explosions; Everyone could feel the shock waves across the whole level.

Eventually, getting bored of the fireworks, Cyra began walking in the air towards the entrance.

Once inside, there was no one blocking her way. All she could see is the red lights.

She eventually reached the door connected to the vault; 5 Awaken kir-s stood between her and the [Frost Blood].

The system shows me the Kir-s strength.

[As you wish, Host]

[Kir] [All stats: 51 000]

[Awaken Kir] [All stats: 52 000]

[Golden Kir] [All stats: 54 000]

[Crowned Kir] [All stats: 56 000]

[Emperor Kir] [All stats: 58 000]

[Conqueror Kir] [All stats: 60 000]

Oh, then it's okay.

"Move."

"Sorry, but we cannot let you pass; this is an important item for our Widow family."

"Being too proud is a bad thing?"

"Oh, why is that?"

"If you didn't tell me where could I get more [Frost Blood] right away, you might have lived a little longer."

"Now prepare to die!"

Before they could react, one of them has already bitten the dust. Cyra completely lifted her body's limits, and her power climbed up from Conqueror God to Awakened Kir.

She was walking without any limitations. The power she was wielding was getting stronger by the minute as each of her waves carried more power than the previous.

"Impossible! You were just a god, how did you do that?!"

"Nothing is impossible!"

Cyra was unstoppable as another Kir fallen and the other three couldn't do anything to stop her.

With each passing second, her senses became clearer; she could no longer understand what their opponents were staying as the world became almost entirely standstill as if time itself has stopped. Her strength once more climbed higher, and she became a Golden Kir.

One by one, each of her symbols has lit up with a golden color, her military clothes have torn apart and transformed into a loose hood, and comfortable clothes that allowed her to move much more freely, with the symbols unleashed, she became a Crowned Kir.

As her body is broken through its limits, she was surrounded by a dark blue mist of blood, as the [Frost Blood] already painted her blood color to blue, and her strength was at the peak of Crowned Kir.

This time I have taken it so far, yet for some reason, I'm craving for more. I want to fight more.

The next time Cyra took a breath, the three conquerors Kir-s next to her directly vaporized. As Cyra looked at them dying in slow motion, she realized that she was expecting too much; she still had a long way before her.

She slowly calmed down and returned to her original state, slowly but steadily, her body loosen up.

After cleaning out the research facility, Cyra broke into the vault and gained 50 liters of [Frost Blood].

After obtaining the blood, she quickly fled as she didn't want to face more of them. If any stronger ones came, she would be in trouble as she couldn't enter that state. For now, she needed to eat.

She eventually decided to consume the [Frost Blood] first as it seemed to be a curse to keep such an item at hand.

[Frost Blood] [50/200]

After reaching a quarter of the required amount, Cyra began to experience a sudden change in her body.

Her blood became even darker, yet it was glowing with a slightly neon blue color.

[Frost Blood] [70/200]

Hmm... I should pick up Jade.

Cyra headed towards the school where she left her to play, wondering what kind of surprise will her discipline give her this time.

The moment her eyes fell on the school, she immediately realized something has changed. It was complete silence.

When she pulled out a knife from a student's chest, the body fell to the ground; she already knew what has transpired here; it seemed to be target practice.

While she was following the corpses mountain to find Jade, she also enjoyed them as she still needed to eat.

She found Jade in the pool of the school, she drained the blood from the corpses and filled the pool with it, while she was enjoying the swimming some students were forced to join her.

She killed one or two every once in a while while she was happily singing, "Killing, Killing, Killing, Killing, Killing, Insects."

"I see you enjoying yourself."

"Master! Welcome back!"

"Thank you."

"Did something happen while I was gone?"

"Um, I don't think so... Why?"

"Just curious, that's all."

"Oh yeh before I forget. Catch!" Cyra threw Jade a backpack full of explosives.

Jade instantly knew what she had in her hands. She attached the explosives to the still breathing students who were too scared to enter the pool and told them to jump in the pool after she lit the fuse on them.

The sounds of explosions stuck the school as the students exploded "Boom, Boom, Boom." Little by little, the number of survivors decreased.

"Hmm, that's isn't quite what I had in mind, but it's also fine good job."

"I can feel it! I can feel it in my veins!! My blood is pumping like crazy..." Jade laughed while the survivors fell into despair as they bleed out.

"Ah, sigh... I lost her again. It looks like we need to look for a police station."

On the way to the police station, Cyra once again let out snow to play with Jade.

"Jade."

"Yes, master?"

"Do you know any other place where I can get more [Frozen Blood]?"

"The Club demons should trade it, as there are huge demands for it from the higher levels."

"Where is that club?"

"On level 3000."

"Little more specific?"

Even now, the levels become big enough that Cyra's senses weren't able to detect everything.

"The entire level is a giant club; there are no living quarters that I know off on there, only fun and life!"

It was then that Cyra stopped in her movements; she picked up both Jade and Snow threw them inside the book of Earth. She began massacring a small group of people with her waves and stored them away, then ascended to a higher level.

It's been a while since she felt fear, but now she did. Something was looking for her. All of her instincts told her that she had to leave as soon as possible or she will die.

No matter how far she tried to run, the presence just kept getting closer to her.

In her last hopes of avoiding a disaster, she used force control to reduce her stats to a mortal, then activated reflection and fake death.

Soon seconds passed, she still saw a black dot bursting through her level before entering her sleep.

Second, soon became minutes, minutes became hours, day and night she waited motionlessly.

....

"This is weird. Where did that guy go?"

"Brother Karon, is everything alright? You seem to be worried."

"It's nothing; remember when I said that someone had massacred one of the families that were under my protection?"

"Yeh, I think I do. What about it?"

"I think I felt the presence that I could feel all around their ancestral house, but the moment we entered this floor, I lost him."

"Maybe they used a speed technique, let's go give it a chase."

"All right, the rest of you search this floor for anything unusual, if you don't find any deity's come after us!"

"Yes, Senior."

"Good, Let's go, brother Zoan."

"I will be right behind you."

After the 2 of them left, the others spent around one week scouting around, but after they didn't find anyone, they went after the others.

In the meantime, Zoan and Karon continued chatting.

"Do you think the invaders will try to stop us?" Asked Zoan.

"Why do you always have to bring up those maniacs?"

"I'm just wondering, that's all, no need to explode."

"Look, they are just dumb machines."

"Yet, they could kill you!"

"They could, but they won't, there is a limit how strong a machine can get, same with our flesh, luckily the flesh wins as such they won't dare to offend our masters."

"You don't think they can get stronger?"

"No, I don't unless they find a stronger material to rebuild them self's, but it's also doubtful so let's forget about that."

"Alright, look, we are about to reach home."

"I wonder if we missed that guy."

"I don't think so; maybe it's for the best that we didn't catch up to him."

"Maybe your right."

"Finally, home, it's good to see the sky again!"

.....

After a week or so, she awakened and slowly raised her strength back up; since she no longer felt that presence, she let out both Jade and Cyra and continued her journey upwards.

System what was chasing me?

[Based on host fear, something that is stronger than Host unleashed state.]

Why would it chase me?

[If I have to guess again the unleashing, that old monster must have taken to heart that someone as healthy as you entered his territory and probably wanted revenge. This scenario probability is 20%]

What are the other 2?

[40-40% than an Expert from the Lake Family or the owner of the research facility that created the [Frost Blood]]

Oh.

The rest of their ascending was rather eventless as Cyra was, after all, a conqueror God; if she avoids pissing of old monster, she should be fine.

Her new rules are simple not exterminating families and solving problems with money instead of force. She didn't need that much [Frost Blood] anymore, so she was more than willing to pay.

After all, she was a beast; she wasn't bullying the weak as she found her fun in killing itself, unlike her discipline Jade who liked to torture the weak.

Upon reaching the Club demons, Cyra unleashed her Force control to envelope the entire level. She also saw people descending from above, so Cyra mimicked those who came from above and wore a fancy dress that took Jade shopping.
