Imperishable Night (Part 5)
Reisen: "Eirin, I... I messed up."
Her voice wavered slightly as she admitted her failure to Eirin, her eyes downcast with shame.
Eirin's expression softened with concern as she regarded Reisen.
Eirin: "What happened?"
Reisen: "I... I encountered an intruder. I tried to handle it on my own, but I couldn't."
Eirin shoots up from her seat while remaining stoic, but has a small sense of urgency in her voice
Eirin: "Where is she?"
Eirin's sudden shift in demeanour caught Reisen off guard, but she quickly responded
Reisen: "Its not a she, but I have him right here"
Reisen drags Richards stiff and upright body towards the door so he is visible to Eirin. She is quick to notice how unresponsive Richard is and deducts that he is under Reisens illusion
Eirin: "He appears to be under your illusion. What exactly is the probl-"
Eirin: "wait... is that Richard?"
Eirin's eyes widened in recognition as she took in Richard's unresponsive form.
Eirin: "Yes, that's Richard. Why is he here?"
Reisen's heart sank as she realized the gravity of the situation. She had not only failed to subdue the intruder, But Eirin knew him personally.
Reisen: "d-do y-you …know him?"
Reisen's voice trembled with apprehension as she awaited Eirin's response.
Eirin: "Yes I do know him. He worked under me for a year but suddenly went missing for eight months"
Reisen's heart sank even further at Eirin's confirmation. The weight of her failure pressed down on her
Reisen: "I'm... I'm sorry, Eirin. I didn't know who he was when I encountered him."
Her voice quivered with genuine remorse, realizing the implications of her actions.
Eirin's expression softened, understanding evident in her eyes as she regarded Reisen.
Eirin: "It's alright, Reisen. You were just doing what you thought was necessary to protect us."
Eirin: "But undo the illusion please. I need to have a word with him"
Reisen nodded, she focused her mind and dispelled the illusion, allowing Richard to return to his senses.
Richard blinked, disoriented at first but quickly realizing where he was. He glanced around, his eyes landing on Eirin and Reisen standing before him.
Richard: "Eirin? Reisen? What's going on?"
Eirin's gaze was stern yet composed as she addressed him.
Eirin: "Richard, we need to talk."
Richard straightened up. Despite his large confusion
Richard: "uhh... actually wait I have something to speak about first"
Eirin raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Richard's sudden interruption.
Eirin: "And that is?"
Richard took a moment to gather his thoughts before speaking, his expression serious yet determined.
Richard: "Don't seal the earth away from the moon"
Eirin's eyes widened in surprise at Richard's unexpected statement. Reisen glanced between Eirin and Richard due to her shock
Reisen: "Gah! He knows. H-How does he know about that!"
Richard: "Wait! Hear me out"
Eirin's expression remained composed, though there was a hint of curiosity in her eyes as she regarded Richard.
Eirin: "Continue, Richard. Explain yourself"
Richard took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts before speaking again.
Richard: "Ok so basically I have some magic power that lets me do anything I want if I annoy people or do some quest type thing and I was able to make a barrier around eientei after I survived a demented phantom ghost person after blowing her up nuclear style. But after I tested my new powers and blew a hole in the stratosphere so as punishment Yukari sent me here to deal with this incident. So I made that barrier that prevents guys who want to harm you from going in. so you wont need to seal earth away"
Reisen's eyes widened as she heard Richard try to explain himself. Much to her confusion.
Reisen: "Eh? ...what? I... W-What the hell are you talking about!!!!"
Eirin: "I see. So you're saying that you created a protective barrier around Eientei using your magic powers?"
Richard nodded, his expression serious.
Richard: "Yes, exactly"
Reisen looks over to Eirin and stares in wild delirium
Reisen: "Wait Wait Wait. Eirin Do you believe this guy? He's crazy."
Eirin regarded Reisen with a calm demeanor, though there was a hint of amusement in her eyes at Reisen's outburst.
Eirin: "Reisen, I know his character. He is not one to lie in such a demeaner"
Reisen's expression softened slightly as she processed Eirin's words, realizing that Eirin was giving Richard the benefit of the doubt.
Reisen: "But... but he's talking nonsense. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale."
Eirin's gaze softened as she regarded Reisen, understanding the skepticism in her tone.
Eirin: "I understand your concerns, Reisen. But sometimes truth is stranger than fiction, I have seen stranger things in Gensokyo."
Eirin: "I trust him so I am sure nobody will be breaking in through the roof to kill us anytime soon"
*crack*
As Eirin finished her sentence, a loud crashing sound echoed through the room, causing everyone to jolt in surprise. Dust and debris rained down from above as a figure emerged from the gaping hole in the ceiling.
It was Youmu, her blade drawn and ready for battle, her expression determined yet slightly flustered.
Youmu: "Eirin! Reisen! I sensed a disturbance and... Oh! What happened here?"
Eirin remained composed despite the sudden intrusion, her gaze shifting from Youmu to Richard and back again.
Youmu: "Its You!"
Richard stumbles backwards a bit
Richard: 'Eh?! why the hell is she here?!"
Richard took another step back, his expression a mix of surprise and apprehension but he had started to grow some courage
Richard: 'No I'm not the same as back then. I'm so much stronger!"
Gathering his courage, Richard swiftly commanded his system.
Richard: "I'm prepared for a situation like this. Hey System use the crucifix!"
[Understood]
Youmu: "I've been searching for you. This is a good opportunity"
[using item]
[Done!]
*fwip*
All of a sudden the environment around Richard had changed instantly. He was behind a metal gate to the opening of a roman style colosseum. on The opposite side of the colosseum was another metal gate
-{You are strong, but Christ is stronger (godly) }-

---------------
Richard: "So this is what this place looks like huh?"
Richard took a moment to look around the room he was in. It was around ten by ten meters and had multipole wooden weapons lining the pale yellow brick walls and the gate showed the grand colosseum through the bars
Richard: "I presume that the metal gate all the way over there is where Youmu is"
With a sense of urgency, he approached the weapons, examining them closely to select the best one for the upcoming duel.
Richard: "I need to choose wisely..."
[System Notification]
[User Received Donation from {HydroVN} + {HydroVN}]
[Open Y/N]
Richard: "Eh? I can have donations in here?
Richard's attention was momentarily diverted by the unexpected system notification.
[Open]
As he opened the donation, he was greeted with a surge of energy, revitalizing his spirit and making him feel lighter
[User Received (Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist EX) + (Electrified Cursed Energy A+)]
---Electrified Cursed Energy (A+)---
There are rare cases where cursed energy carries a special property unique to its user. When applied to their fighting techniques, it can grant them a special texture or effect that gives them an advantage in battle. These special traits cannot be defended by simple reinforcement techniques.
This skill gives properties of electricity, which keeps the body in a constant state of electrification and makes all of his attacks near impossible to defend against.

----------------------------
Richard's eyes widened in astonishment as he absorbed the contents of the donation. The surge of energy coursing through him still tingling though his body
Richard: "Whoa... this is incredible."
He felt the power of the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist residing in him. It feels as if he was well versed in all eleven of the absorbed martial arts since he was born. As if it was completely natural to him.
Richard: "This is really incredible... But I thought you couldn't use skills?"
Richard: "Does it not count because I just got donated it after all my skills were taken away?
Richard: "System open status"
[Understood]

-------------------------------
Richard: "Oh? The status seems to have changed a lot for this duel"
Richard observed the changes in his temporary status, noting the additions of the Monster Calamity God Slayer Fist (EX) and Electrified Cursed Energy (A+). He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement at the newfound abilities bestowed upon him.
Richard: "So these skills are exempt from the restriction because they were donated after my previous skills were disabled. That explains it."
Feeling more confident with his enhanced abilities, Richard turned his attention back to the colosseum gate where Youmu awaited.
Richard: "Alright, let's do this!"
With determination in his heart and newfound power coursing through his veins, Richard approached the gate. But he stopped in his tracks as he noticed something in the corner of his eye.
Richard: "Ah, I may as well take one weapon from here"
Richard scanned the weapons lining the walls of the colosseum, considering his options carefully. After a moment of deliberation, he reached out and selected a sturdy-looking sword with a balanced grip.
Richard: "This should do."
With the sword in hand and his newfound skills at the ready, Richard turned back towards the gate, his resolve firm and his determination unyielding.
Richard: "Its time to out my first EX rank skill that actually does something!"
