03 COSPLAY, Bloody Gathering

An hour and a half later.

Kett Hotel room

Alicia summons her White armor emblazoned with a gold and white cloak with black fur and, a silvery helmet covering her face.

I change into a black gothic dress and a white mask.

she holding a black umbrella with her silver hair hanging down was gave off the impression of being a young miss from a wealthy family.

No need to avoid being recognized too much, just cover your face and show your temperament to suit the clothes.

'Perfect'

Then follow the group of black cloaks to the top floor and enter the room.[20th]

'There seem to be a lot of people inside.'

I elegantly walk in frontend Alicia follows behind.

The man behind the door.

"Wheather is nice today," he said.

"But the weather is very bad today."

"..."

After a brief moment.

"Welcome.As Long As You Are Not Official."

"We are newcomer awakened."

"Good, go in."

_______

When I entered, it seemed like I was the last person there. The man closed the door and locked it.

Overall, it is not a very confidential gathering.

The interior was large, with numerous individuals sitting on tables or sofas. 

The man in a white tuxedo wearing a mask arrives and is highlighted by the spotlight.

The place becomes very quiet.

"Greeting everyone.Welcome to the day meeting."

"As usual, feel free to put your transaction here."

As he finishes speaking someone puts the item on the table.

"Let me introduce fire element awakened rank core. I got it from a fire golem demon 50 crystal coin, it is a rare alchemy material, anyone wants it?" A pig mask fat man said.

"60 coins."

"I offer 65 coins, no more."

"Deal"

"The life-saving talisman, it can block any attack under awakened rank.29 coins."

"I want it."Someone said."

Extraordinary one after another were sold.

'Crystal coin? seem like they were the currency used in the extraordinary world. I need to get some for future use.'

[Strength potion defective x2 ]

"Berserk potion. It can be used to temporarily boost body strength to awakened rank, but it will leave your body vulnerable for 24 hours. Your body being too fragile to withstand backlash may result in death. I have 2 tubes name your price."

"Miss, Is 200 coins okay? the woman proposes.

"This thing has the ability to empower users to awakened rank, which can increase the likelihood of someone becoming awakened."

"Such a rare product. Is it genuine?" a boy in the clock asked.

"Certainly, it must be authentic. Consider the knight behind her; the armor is not something an ordinary awakened could acquire. How would such a strong man fool us?"

"Yeah, It's just a potion that can only be used by ordinary people."

"How about 300 per tube?" an old gentleman in a pink suit and top hat.

"Okay."

He hands me a bag full of crystal coins.

"Well, let me provide some news."The host said.

"The Official Association recently announced a substantial reward for the capture of individuals suspected of being serial killers, with a total of 48 victims attributed to them. these bounty posters, beware when you all find him."

"Why does only our Grahtia country ban extraordinary power? But the government uses extraordinary power." a high school boy asked.

"Their primary concern revolves around the potential challenge of sustaining their existing status." the old man said.

"It may be in your best interest to avoid challenging them, as it could lead to unfavorable outcomes for you."

"Have you heard that the two evil god sects in Hanod District holding several sacrifices?" the pink gentleman said.

"the officials were busy blocking the news."

"Cultists kidnapped a number of women and girls."

"Are those lunatics not afraid of the Official?" the assassin-like guy said.

"Yes, yes, We are not scared of government dogs. For our Goddess, for our sovereign."

[Author: For Democracy.How about a nice cup of Liber-Tea?]

The assassin-like man is stabbed in the heart by a man in a cover and falls to the ground, spewing blood.

The air seemed to be frozen.

"Now that you are honored, you have the chance to become the great sacrifice for our Lord, Goddess of Fresh and Blood." A man and five companions are removing their cloaks.

There was an abnormal amount of fresh sarcoma, organs, and limbs growing on their body.

Yes, fucking limbs. Some have 3 arms, and some 5 eyes.

It seemed as if they were an unsuccessful product produced by a laboratory.

I don't know what conspiracy I was implicated in now, damn it.

"Run"

The Abominable starts to slaughter everyone near them with abnormal strength and speed.

Amidst the chaos, the awakened have a chance to survive an attack while most of the ordinary...umm what word describes them, a lump of meat?

Alicia found it difficult to fend off two of them and protected me at the same time.

She lifted her helmet and forcefully kissed me. (mouth to mouth)

Ellis(me): "Ah ah, that's my kiss." Ellis blushed and averted her eyes.

[Skill: Recovery kiss I, Stat +100% 1 chosen stat ]

[Achievement unlock: First Kiss (Forecfully) ]

[Recovery kiss I -> Recovery kiss II Stat +125% 2 chosen stat]

[Alicia's Agility, Strength +125%]

Alicia: "Didn't I say what you is mine, darling." then she held me with her left arm and a sword in her right arm and swung at the cultist.

the cultist's arm was cut off neatly, black blood poured out.

"This...How dare y.." As he looks at the missing arm holding the sword on the ground.

Puff, puff.

Before he even finished speaking, the silver ray of light flashed past the cultist's neck, abdomen, and thighs. The left sections of the corpse fell to the ground with his eyes widening

Not a word of nonsense, this is professional sword art.

Crisp and decisive.

[Kill weak cultist obtain 100 exp]

[distributed]

[Strength: 3.5 ->5.5+125%, Agility: 2.9 ->4.9+125%, Constitution: 3.6 ->4.6, Spirit: 1.7, Luck: 1.9]

The next moment. The remaining 5 cultists turned their gaze and locked onto us at the same time.

"She kills our brother."

"Avenge brother."

"Kill her."

"Offer her head to our goddess."

They jump up and rush toward us without hesitation like mad dogs.

'HISS'

Now I know why no one here fights them. They are a group of dogs.

Alicia glares at them calmly until they are at a certain distance.

She mobilizes her own elemental energy. A Golden light emit from the sword.

[Skill: Slash I] [Horizontal]

Like time was standing still. the crest sword beam shot out and swept away all cultists.

They didn't have time to react at all.

Poof!

"Ugh!"

A harsh scream sounded, and the black blood gurgled and dyed the ground red.

Their corpse fell to the ground with only the lower half that was burned mark left by light elements.

[Kill weak cultist obtain 500 exp]

[Level 1 -> 2 ] [300/400] [5 free stat]

[Kill weak awaken obtain 100 exp]

[Level 2 -> 3 ] [0/900] [10 free stat]

Huh, where did that weak awakened come from? Didn't all awakeners run away?

Then I see the assassin-like man lying dead behind the cultist corpse.

His legs are missing? Don't tell me that this guy pretended to be dead but was killed by Alicia's simple name skill that not simple?

What a bad luck.
