Shadow Assassin (Dual Attributes)

It is a hard living in the new age of the modern world, on Earth. Especially if you did not have any Abilities; it was the case for Quinn. His parents were ambassadors, and secretly, Assassins working for the 'greater good'. Wars were quite a frequent occurance on Earth, leaving only ravaged remains of the once beautiful planet. Although, the once frequent wars had stopped and the world finally entered a fleeting age of peace, the larger powers were in a deadlock and in high geopolitical tension. The majority of the interstellar planets and bases were owned by Capitalist powerhouses that held only base value in high regards and sought after strong trans-humans: an evolved species of Humans that were compatible with Ability Dews that were found on alien planets and could extract and use different types of supernatural Abilities themselves. Quinn's parents were sent on an obvious su**ide-mission on the battlefront of some planet by the Governance of Earth, to 'fight and serve' their home-planet by fighting off the opposition consisting of a terrorist group called the "Elementals", and secretly, a whole another unknown enemy... Receiving their last, parting gift, Quinn got his hands on something that was completely out of scope for normal Humans, or any other intelligent race that could possibly or ever will exsist. It was of unknown origins when his parents found it, and only he would be the one to discover its true functioning and creator. He would become something that was nothing like a Human... he would forsake his life and living, only to find the truth about the artefact and why it chose him. He would fight enemies of the peaceful inhabitants of Earth in hopes to protect those that he once loved, when he was still Human. Furthermore, he would fight other beings in the shadows of different realms; discover secrets of the Universe and the one above it all. No, not God; nor the Great Old Ones. Nay, not even the Outer Gods. But, the one and only... above creation itself: a dream that birthed it; the Absolute Being. Existing in the Real World, out of this wretched Dream of his. Only by meeting his real origins and awakening, would Quinn be able to escape this accursed cycle that only he knew the truth of; alone, would he protect the mortals... in hopes of protecting only those that he loved.

Viktor Of Earth

'Haah... the first portal outing... what a pain in the ass'

***

"Communication platoon 1-F has been hijacked!"

 

"Is it them again...?"

***

"Excuse me, what do you mean by OPERATION? Where's the teleporter at in the first place?" a student asked.

 

The people in front of the crowd ignored the student and walked away.

 

"Oi! Stop ignoring me! Where's the teleporter back to Earth?!" he shouted again. When they were finally out of sight, a single person came out from the back.

 

"Oh, you poor souls...! How could those barbarians force children like you lot to fight against the forces of almighty Father!" the man dressed in white clothing shouted as he grabbed and pulled his hair.

 

'Haah...crazy guy number two' Quinn sighed.

 

'It's weird that he's pitying all of the students...' Void said, 'can you think of anything that he wants to do with you all?'

 

'Nope...it can't be something as simple as capturing us if he's pitying us... I have no idea'

 

"Don't worry, you're all in safe hands now! Take my hand and join me in punishing those who refuse to accept Father's retribution"

 

"If you want to punish people then why make an exception of us?" a student asked, "and if you want people to join you, shouldn't you tell them your name first?"

 

"I'm sure that the phrase BEASTS MUST BE KILLED was just drilled into your head by the military

 

"And yes, I should introduce myself... I am Viktor of Earth" he introduced himself with a bow.

 

'Of Earth? Void, do you know what he's talking about? I don't think he's saying that he's from Earth'

 

'Yes, I know what he is talking about, he is probably one of the leaders of the group of terrorists known as Elementals

 

'He wields the Earth attribute, he is also the weakest of the 8 leaders' Void explained.

 

'...how do you know?'

 

'I've been a stray spirit for almost a thousand years, so of course, I would know what is happening on Earth'

 

'So you lived on Earth when you were alive?'

 

'No, I lived in Nowhere... all shadows used to live there, in the world of nothingness

 

'You can say that we lived in the realm between realms so we could go anywhere we wanted in just a few seconds'

 

'Damn... you must have a really good memory, huh? Surprised you don't remember your age... it scares me So, what do I do against this guy? He's the weakest of them right? So I should be able to defeat him' Quinn thought as he put on his new equipment.

 

'No, even if he is the weakest of them, he is stronger than you... don't approach him carelessly'

 

"Oh, Petra! Did you get a new arm?" Quinn called out.

***

'Did they track us...? Or was it just sheer luck'

 

"Send out squad GAMI B and E to the site where the students are immediately! And send squad J to communication platoon 1-F"

***

"Yes, the medics healed me..." she responded, "the person who is in front of us, is the leader of the Earth attribute Elementals, right?"

 

"Apparently..."

 

"What do we do now?"

 

"The military should already know what's happening right now... they should be here in a while, but...I wonder how long we will last" Quinn said with a nervous smile on his face.

 

...

 

"Now...! Take my hand and join me! Humans don't need to fight back against the divine beasts, all we need to do is accept our fate and aid them in their quest...!" Victor shouted again. "My job is to make ALL of mankind accept it!"

 

Now this is what we call a special case of daddy issues

 

"You're just telling us all to die because of your weird daddy issues. Fuck off, man!"

 

"Even if you say that... you're still wearing magical gear aren't you?" Quinn pointed out.

 

'Inspect'

[Holy pixie's garb]

 

"...Huu...I'm just trying to HELP YOU!" Victor placed his hands on the ground and made earth pillars from underneath Quinn's feet. "You really need to work on your anger management if you wanna pursuade people, you see?!"

 

But because of Quinn's sense stat being high, he could feel the earth beneath him being shaped, so he jumped back continuously to avoid them.

 

BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!

 

"Sen!"

 

'Huh? When did he get here so fast...'

 

"Two elementals are coming your way, stop them with the help of some other people here!"

 

"Eh?! Elementals? Uhh... got it!"

***

"Carl, we need you! I'll send you the location of the students who are being surrounded by Elementals..."

 

"Ah...? Not even gonna ask for my opinion, huh?"

 

'What a pain in the ass...'

***

"Woah! These guys are strong" Sen exclaimed as he blocked a few earth needles with his blood.

 

"But there are only two of them and five of us...! We can do this, Sen" a student ran up to Sen and threw a lighting lance which was in his hand, at the enemy.

 

Sen handed over another two lances and the student covered them with his lightning ability and threw them again, finally being able to hit one of them and stop her from moving.

 

Lower ranked lightning ability users can't shape lightning as they wish, so they need an object to then cover it with their ability to give it more speed, and piercing power.

 

"Finally...! Sen, Ryu, go for it!"

 

Sen used the blood falling from the wound on the terrorist and made long blades that went through her shoulder and thighs. The real purpose of the long blades was not to wound the enemy but to make the enemy unable to move.

 

The student known as 'Ryu' snapped his fingers and appeared behind his opponent. He then drew his sword from its sheath and slashed through the enemy like butter.

 

Anyone could tell that his weapon was no regular sword.

 

"We weren't even needed, huh?" the two other students spoke from the back. "Even if you do anything here it won't matter... do not rush into battle willingly if your goal is naught but the death of your enemies" Ryu said as he put his sword back in its sheath.

 

"Uuhhh..."

 

"Let's go help Quinn now! He's being targeted by their leader" Sen said as he ran towards the place where Quinn was.

 

"Haa... guess that's too much to ask for, huh?" the one that had escaped, brought two more people with him and surrounded Sen.

 

"The two of you, go and support Quinn! We can handle this much...!"
