The Auguste (Indefinite Hiatus)

I didn't have a memory of who I am when I woke up. I don't know why, but I seem to have been able to think like an adult person the moment I was born. I'm smarter than everyone my age, but I think that will quickly change soon. A robotic voice, which is the tutorial bot, said that I was created for many purposes, but above those is the purpose of growing stronger until i am the strongest. I don't know who my creator was, since he's dead, but I will find out on my own. I am Auguste, a clown trying to find his own purpose, not the ones given to him, and this is my story of how I became the god above gods. _____________________ I am not that good of a writer, and quite self conscious also. If you can, please point out my mistakes so that I can fix it for later readers. Anyhow, enjoy the novel!

Chapter 72: Loot and New Scythe Techniques

1* Wooden Club, 2* Metal Clubs, 2* Chainmail Armor, 3* Buster Swords, 4* Mythril Buster Swords, 4* Mithril Armor, 5* Magical Mythril Buster Swords, 5* Magical Mythril Armor, 6* Magical GreatswordS, 6* Drake Armor, 7* Magical Mithril Clubs, 7* Magical Drake Armor, 8* Magical Butcher Greatswords, 8* Adamantine Armor, 9* Elite Magical Greatswords, 9* Elite Magical Armor, 10* Magical Adamantine Greatswords, and 10* Magical Adamantine Armor.

I whistled as I listed every weapon and armor I looted from the ogres after defeating them all, and I smiled, looking at the list. I felt rich, like super rich! Adamantine equipment? Holy sh*t! That's super rare in the sect, especially when it's enchanted!

I took out the magical adamantine greatsword, and lifted it. It was a bit heavy but nothing I couldn't manage.

I swung it a few times, and as I did that, the force of my swings made the wind around the room alter.

It would be funny if a 4-year old child comes swinging a giant greatsword to his opponent. I'll train with this for now, along with the scythe.

"Hmm, partner, now that I think about it, do you have any way for me to train using you? Scythe fighting styles are rare nowadays," I said, trying to gain some info.

"Yeah, but you'll have to be a little bit stronger than you are now to fully use my full potential. But, don't worry, I have a lowered-down version of the fighting style. It just has 5 or so techniques, but they're all strong. They are hard to learn though, but that's easy for a prodigy like you, right?" He replied.

I nodded, and said, "Yeah, that'll be easy." Heh, it'll be more than easy. You see, I have clones. I can have my clones work on the techniques! The great thing about my clones is that whenever I dispel them, they also transfer their muscle memory to me! I don't know how, but I'm not complaining!

"Then I'll impart the knowledge right now and you can train with it later, after we get out of the beast tower," Thanatos said.

Curious, I asked, "How are you going to impart it?"

"Just touch your forehead with the back of my blade and I'll do the rest," He said.

I did as my weapon told me, and the moment the back of his blade touched my forehead, something entered my brain. Knowledge poured in.

A bit of headache occurred to me but nonetheless, I was fine.

I slowly understood and grasped the moves and knowledge behind the 5 techniques my weapon just imparted to me.

[Death's Breath: An easy technique. All I have to do is to cut through the air around a thousand times within a second, and thousands of ethereal scythes will form to cut through my enemies. This is a wide-ranged technique, and is only suitable if I'm fighting multiple enemies at once. And the great thing about this technique is that I can put elements in those ethereal scythes]

[Elemental Transformation: A technique that lets me share my elements to Thanatos and he can use them whatever he wants to transform into some badass weapon. And I don't need to train this, it's mostly automatic. I'm truly looking forward for when I use this]

[Death Slash: Just like the name suggests, this is for slashing but on a larger scale. Once I use this technique, I can cleave a whole continent into two if I wanted to. I must swing my scythe for 10,000,000 times to achieve this level of proficiency. With my clones, this will be a piece of cake!]

[Death's Grasp: A technique that will enable me to massacre armies of millions within a minute. Death's figure would appear behind me, and kill my enemies without mercy. His hands would reach out for their souls, no matter how much they beg, Death won't show them mercy. But to achieve this, I must kill millions upon millions of creatures and sacrifice their souls to Death himself]

[Summon Undead: With this technique, I can summon undead creatures to my command. As long as there is a corpse around me, I can summon them. And, Thanatos does not know this, tutorial bot modified it a little to make it easier for me, the more I use this technique, the more it will level up. There is a range to which my undead can function, but once they get out of that range, they will quickly fall apart. And as long as the strength of the previous life of the dead don't exceed mine, I can summon them anytime I want]

This is what happened when tutorial modified the technique.

[Summon Undead – Level 1]

[Range – 10 Meters]

[Proficiency – 0.0%]

[Once user reaches 100%, user must find a stronger technique to upgrade Summon Undead]

Yeah, tutorial decided to make it like this. I like this better, not gonna lie. It's simple, and not too complicated.

Maybe he should turn my spells and manuals that I learned like this?

[Would you like to? I can do that]

'Meh, fine. I'll check it later though,' I said in my thoughts.

[Well, your wish is my command. Don't regret It later though]

'I won't.'

"So you learned it? Good. Now you can use my badass forms!" Thanatos said, and if he had hands, he would be pumping them in air now.

"Hmm, I'll try the Elemental Transformation later. For now, let's climb down the ladder to the 52th floor," I said, opening the door at the end of the arena.

I climbed down the ladders, and when I landed on the floor, immediately a werewolf appeared meters away from me.

It disappeared from my vision, and I was surprised.

But my instincts kicked in, and I blocked its claws with my scythe, which has now transformed to its original form.

The werewolf backed away. Looking at it clearly, I saw that it was covered with black fur with eyes as red as the crimson moon.

It growled at me, snarling, and roared.

*ROOOOAR!*

The wind around the canine was pushed away as the sound of its roar was enough to crack the ground.

This thing must be as strong as a Soul Wandering Cultivator. But that matters not, for I am still stronger than it.

I flicked my wrist, and said, "Partner, would you like a little bit of shock?'

Thanatos snorted, "Heh, go for it."

I smirked at the werewolf as blue lightning covered my scythe.

*BOOM!*

A loud resounding lightning aura shrouded me as it quickly went to Thanatos, causing it to light up the entire arena brighter than it should be.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

Three successful thunder strikes went off, and then, Thanatos' appearance changed to that of lightning.

The handle became light blue with arcs all over it, and the arced blade of the scythe also became blue but with the middle looking like a lightning bolt!

Countless lightning arcs flew around Thanatos, and I was amazed.

I swung the now lightning scythe lightly towards the werewolf, and lightning traveled to the air, tearing the werewolf's entire body!

Looking at the corpse of the dead werewolf, I smirked.

"Told you I would look badass!" Thanatos said.

Truthfully, I'm just winging it here. I should probably make plans for the future arcs, lest I suddenly find myself stuck.

Anyway, thank you for reading, as always, stay well!
