Zone Destroying

When the smoke cleared Mein saw the sword pointed at him and scowled.

A small army of robot nazis appeared behind the fatty. 'So that's what Mein Armee is.'

Will was surprised that Mein could bring his army into this Zone since they were not created by him. As for Mein's invisible partner, Will already had a clue as to where he was but that's for another time.

Mein opened his arms in a grandiose manner and said, "No matter how strong you think you are, you cannot defeat an army of 100 high leveled people! Each one of my subordinates here has a high-quality class and is at level 99! What? You despairing now? You regret attacking me? It's too late negro!"

Mein's robot nazis could level up to the same cap he had, so if he had the resources he could create an army of thousands of level 99 robot nazis.

Will only marveled for a second and then ignored the fatty. He used his sword to draw a strange rune on the ground with a curious grin. What did a mage's True Strike look like? This was one of the questions Will had been ruminating over the previous day. A warrior's true strike consisted of three aspects. Technique, qi, and intent. So by shifting it, a mage's true strike should need a spell, mana, and intent. Or so Will thought.

Will wasn't really much of a spell user. He had however gathered quite a few spells from clearing the dungeon by the gas station where he met Duke for the first time. That dungeon was more of a fire attribute place, but there were a few spells Will learned that he believed could be useful in the future.

They were all rated as b class skills so by themselves they were not of much use to Will. But together…

The spells were:

Heart Felt Burst: Allows one due use their heart to connect to their blood and augment its vitality.

Bloody Flesh: Allows one to convert dead flesh into blood

Bloodline network: Allows one to link up blood molecules and alter its properties

Pyroclastic flow: A explosion similar in nature to a volcanic eruption. with an objection or area chosen as the epicenter.

Will was planning on combining these four spells for his True Strike. Will experimented with the true strike many times before with his sword technique. He learned many things, for example, the more complex the sword technique he used, the higher the quality of intent required, and the greater yuan he had to infuse. So logically the same should apply with spells.

Will had originally planned to use other simpler spells for his experiment, but his recent enlightenment had said otherwise. Will realized he had one ace in the hole he had not used. Thus he intended to use these four spells in tandem.

"Mein, I have a joke for ya. What do you and the corpses have in common?" Said Will as he bent down to touch the rune he had drawn.

"If you are insinuating that I will end up like that then you are mistaken." Mein raised a hand, signaling that his attack was about to start. This was his zone. He knew it very well. The only way those corpses could be brought in is if the system believed they were part of his immediate battle power. In other words, they were part of a spell that he had activated.

Mein was not a fool. He that Will was above your average user. Because he was one of Aurora's Peerless candidates!

'If I kill that piece of trash, then that would mean I could have possibly killed Peerless!'

The thought of being the one who had killed the number 1 sovereign was irresistible. Plus he had heard certain rumors. Rumors that had stated an interesting rule. If you kill a Sovereign, you become one. Mein was itching to try that out, but that was all on the premise that Will was Peerless. If he was, then this battle would be far from easy. Not to mention…

'Those damn corpses! They give me a bad feeling!'

Will partially knelt and touched the rune, activating it and making it like up in blood-red light. "No no no my friend. What you have in common is that you will die the same way they did. Initiate, Pyro Haematic Flow!"

..

Creating a custom spell was a different process from creating a custom technique. The reason was due to the fact that being a mage required immense conscious thought, were as a large element of physical techniques was subconscious. This makes it slightly easier to initiate the skill as all you would have to do is train properly. But a custom spell required a lot of calculation and so required high intellect. This was why intelligence and wisdom were the main stats for determining one's proficiency at spells for human users.

It goes without saying that fusing spells was just as hard as creating a custom spell from scratch. In some cases its easier because there are only two spells and they are extremely similar in nature. In other cases its much harder because the spells are different in nature and there is a large number of them.

Will was suffering from a combination of everything. Heart Felt Burst, Bloody Flesh, and Bloodline network all had to do with blood so they could be connected easily thanks to Will's enlightenment plus dual mind propagation. It was fusing them with Pyroclastic Flow that was very different. Although they all had a rating of B, Pyroclastic Flow had a growth element to it, which meant that it would become more deadly with every use. This only made it much harder to fuse it with the other spells. Despite these difficulties, thanks to Will's plentiful minds and his enlightenment, the young man was able to overcome these issues. Not to mention that creating this custom spell was only a minor part of his focus during his enlightenment. If one had thousands of minds, it was possible for them all to have enlightenment on different topics then simply share the information with the other minds.

Yet despite this advantage, Will still had to pull the majority of his minds to dwell on the four major topics he was studying. They were that complex. Especially Dark Matter and Dark Energy. Information on those topics was practically none existent, so he had to think even more than he should have.

=================================================

Will's efforts in creating a custom spell bore fruit. A custom spell doesn't need to be validated the first time it is used. So long as the spell matrix works, in theory, it will immediately be recognized by the system. Will received notification of creating a custom spell from the system but acted as if nothing happened. Only one mind was on that task.

It did scare Will though. Could the system read minds? If not how did it know what he was doing? For the first time, Will genuinely grew interested in this so-called Conquest System, but now was not the time.

The system had dubbed his spell as an A+ spell. Not only that, but Will was also able to add the growth element from Pyroclastic Flow. As for the energy, yuan was much better than mana. With his minds, it was not hard calculating how much energy to use. The issue was intent. Will could have simply used killing intent. It was more than compatible for this to work, but he wanted to aim for the stars.

'Bloodlust.'

Will already knew that there was some sort of connection between bloodlust and blood because of what had happened at King Yama's gate. So he knew it could be used. Not to mention it had a greater connection to death than killing intent itself. But it was incredibly potent. The majority of his thoughts during his enlightenment about this true strike were spent on trying to understand bloodlust from his past experiences with it and figure out what the right amount to use was. It was a taxing task but Will did it. He did not want the world to witness what he was about to do because the result would be an explosive area of effect skill that would kill every living creature that had blood in the nearby area, and that doesn't even include damage to nature. Will estimated that the area in which he used the attack would become a volcanic wasteland. The only issue was everyone thought he was simply of the water attribute, so where could he test out his theory?

Then Mein came along with such a high-quality zone. Will was ecstatic.

'This should be able to contain the blast right?' Will shrugged as he activated the technique.

Mein ordered all of his subordinated to bombard Will with everything they had. Although their levels were high, the ratings of their skills were poor. Not to mention none of them had a single custom skill. They required a large element of free will to create. So all they could do was rely on system provided skills.

It goes without saying that system provided skills were not that good for people with average classes. Not to mention that Mein hogged all the best skills himself. He had not had enough time to have his cronies equipped with the good stuff. As their attacks were launched, Will's front was covered in a myriad collection of blinding lights. It was a beautiful thing to see. It reminded Will of a firework festival he had gone to with his brothers and sisters many years back…

Unfortunately, he had to destroy something that brought back such a nice memory.

From Mein's perspective, all he saw was red, a flaming hot red, spreading from Will. It was like a volcano had erupted burning blood, completely overwhelming Mein's attack. It was so abrupt and powerful that Mein could not help but admire it.

'It's beautiful.'

That was the last thought the young Nazi had in his life.

…

Aurora and her crew stood on the grey steps waiting for the battle to end. They did not hold much optimism for Will, after all, he could only be level 74 at best, not to mention that Mein's Robot Nazi's had disappeared the moment he had too. Only a fool would not be able to understand what was happening.

"To think he could bring his followers into his zone. No wonder he was so confident."

Aurora sighed in resignation. This would make this man incredibly hard to kill in a Lord Battle. She was starting to regret standing on the same side as him, but the looming threat of the empire was like a guillotine hanging above her head, ready to swoop down and chop her neck off.

Aurora subconsciously touched her beautiful neck, while Rhino gulped and looked at the sky. She was starting to have thoughts of launching a sneak attack on Mein the moment their lord battle had finished. She had no doubt that he would win. If he did win, what if Solitary became a robot Nazi? That would mean that the fat Nazi would gain control of Miami.

While everyone was distracted by their own thoughts, a sound akin to glass shattering struck everyone's ears. It was a truly uncomfortable sensation, causing everyone present to cover their ears.

Aurora looked up and saw something ridiculous, but then again for the past five years, everything has been going looney.

The space where Will and Mein had disappeared shattered like glass. She had heard of many abilities, but ones related to space were the rarest.

'Is there someone launching a surprise attack?'

"Enemy attack!" shouted Rhino at the top of her lungs. Everyone surrounded Aurora and viewed the shards of whatever it was they were looking at break apart. Once everything was clear they saw an unbelievable sight. Mein was kneeling, blood covering his whole body as if he had been bathing in it. There was not even a speck of dust on Solitary, who had his sword on Mein's throat.

Aurora and co could not believe what they were hearing. Then a system announcement rang out.

Congratulations to Solitary Sword Sovereign for being the first user to break a zone!
