Chapter 15: Extermination 2/2
"LUNAR ECLIPSE!"
As Lye said those words he suddenly released so much of the Witch's Miasma that even the guards who were from afar guarding the camp as Crusche instructed could feel it, Lye's wounds and missing limbs began to 'heal' by replacing them with pure muscle their wasn't any skin covering those muscles so as Lye landed on the ground he winced in pain but that didn't stop him from dashing towards Chris in such speeds that all he could see was his decapitated body as the world started to turn upside down.
At that moment he would have died if it weren't for the fact that as soon as Lye said the words 'Lunar Eclipse' he had already pressed the Load button thus teleporting him right beside Beatrice fully healed.
'I couldn't even react'
Chris didn't find any openings in Lye who now stood across all of them with nothing but a smile on his face, Wilhelm couldn't even react as he was barely able to parry Lye's constant strikes.
Beatrice tried her best by sending out multiple spells but none of them landed at their target, while the still Semi-Overwriten Regulus was starting to move slower and started directing his attacks at Chris as the 'X' covering his face was starting to disappear.
Chris didn't want fight an empowered Lye and a rage filled Regulus so taking his chance he activated his ACT skill and had a firm grip on the Regulus's soul, as he did so Regulus was able to finally break out of his control and look at him.
*CRACK!*
But Regulus was too late as Chris had already shattered his soul not giving him chance to fight as he started to grumble to dust, which was something new for Chris as normally when killing someone by shattering or destroying their soul they would fall to the ground limp but this time it was different.
[Lvl 17!]
But he couldn't focus on thinking about it as he was finally able to see Lye's movements and grab his dagger with his right hand.
"How the-"
*BOOM!*
With a simple punch to the face Lye was sent flying while causing a shockwave ripping his flesh apart, but it had seemingly healed and Lye flew mid air he repositioned himself to dig his hand on the ground stopping his trajectory.
"Hmm, it still hurts."
Looking at the hand he used to punch Lye, Chris felt a sting as he opened and closed it. Usually when leveling up he would gain the upper hand against his opponent but this time it seemed to be different as Chris felt the once intimidating presence of Lye become less threatening.
Ding.
A spear made of his DT manifested itself in Chris's palm before he took a look at Lye and got into a throwing position, Lye seeing this began to charge at him with such speeds that the ground behind him was being recked and debris was starting to fly everywhere.
Chris threw the spear at Lye who seeing it's speed prepared to intercept it, but in an instant the spear exploded into tiny needles making Lye widen his eyes.
"Why won't you just let me kill you!"
Lye wasn't an expert in combat for nothing as he effortlessly parried and blocked every single needle as he rushed towards Chris, seeing this Chris couldn't help but click his tongue before he started to run towards Lye with a dagger of DT in hand.
[SAVE 1]
'Beatrice prepare the spell.'
'Mhm.'
Due to having a contract with Beatrice Chris had the ability to transmit simple mental commands and messages to Beatrice, who was now preparing a spell as red Magic circles of all kinds started to form under her.
Seeing this Lye grunted before throwing his dagger at the occupied Beatrice but as it got closer, Wilhelm appeared Infront of her parrying the dagger away with his sword.
"Huff....damn my old age...."
'This old fossil!'
Lye rushed at Wilhelm but was pulled by Chris who stabbed his foot, Chris In a quick motion tried to slit Lye's stomach but was caught of guard when an arrow impaled his head.
[LOAD!]
He appeared beside Beatrice before turning to the direction of where the arrow came from and noticed a group of hooded figures, some using bows others beginning to cast spells he instantly knew that these were cultist.
'Around 60 or 70 the soldier's won't be able to handle them.'
Normally a hero would jump in a try to take out all the cultist while simultaneously handling with Lye, but Chris was different.
He could always RESET, so right now he didn't care about the lives of those soldier's.
"Oh no you don't."
Chris saw Lye look towards the direction of the forest and immediately understood what he was going to try and do, despite the forest being far away as they were in an open field. Someone like Lye could easily reach it in a few seconds thus Chris seeing him attempting to make a break for it dashed towards the injured Bishop ignoring the arrows that were hitting him and the cries of the soldier's begging for help.
"Get away from me you freak!"
Lye threw a dagger at Chris, it was a definite hit but just a few moments ago Lye was confident in killing Chris but over time the longer they fought Chris started adapting to his unpredictable fighting style, Lye's fighting style was akin to a berserkers driven by instinct and strength but polished by experience and with Lunar Eclipse being active he should've won but now it was different.
Unfortunately for Lye t dagger that was about to hit Chris missed, not because of his aim but of what because Chris had done. He had essentially dislocated every bone in his spine to twist his body to dodge the dagger and the only reason he wasn't dropping dead was because he was using his very soul to link his spine despite it's deformed shape.
Chris slashed towards Lye's neck but his attack was sent of course as an arrow impaled his arm causing it to stir making it so that instead of his neck, Chris had essentially just blinded Lye by slashing his eyes.
He flipped his knife before trying to stab Lye's throat but was met with an arrow impaling his head, instantly he pressed load appearing beside Beatrice once again.
"You don't yet?"
With a monotone voice Chris asked her, but instead of receiving an answer he felt a cold sensation wash over him before he felt his muscles buldge and contract.
"I'm talking that as a yes."
Chris immediately dashes towards Lye who had now made his way to the cultist who started firing both spells and arrows at Chris, he began parrying every arrow with his knife as well as blocking every spell that would explode with a red transparent shield made out of DT.
Lye seeing this was anxious, they're attack was supposed to be quick kill the candidate and leave. But it was all messed up by one person that being Chris, who minutes ago was barely strong enough to deal with him but after killing Regulus he seemed to have gotten stronger and was now on par with Lye.
"You're cheating..."
Lye had noticed how even after all their fighting Chris hadn't gotten tired, in fact he didn't seem to even be bothered by his injuries and this worried Lye. He had seen his fair share of monsters especially 'Her' but the man Infront of him was a different kid of monster.
"YOU'RE CHEATING DAMN IT!"
With a final shout Lye jumped back into the fight finally stopping his futile attempt to escape and faced Chris head on, but this was an error on his part as little did he know that the exact spot he was in was far from safe.
Chris did something odd for Lye's, he prepared to stab the empty spot behind him but before he was even half way with his movements he had disappeared from Lye's sight.
[Load]
PUUCHI-
And with one simple stab Lye had died, so quickly and painlessly. The cultist who watches their leader die so easily were terrified but for Chris this moment was euphoric as now a cracked purple panel was Infront of him one side still dim lacking power but the other was different.
It was radiating a glow and aura that made Chris smile like a maniac, he mouth started glitching and deforming but before it could fully do so he stopped himself before turning towards the group of cultist who were shaking in fear.
"ACT: TELEPORT: Cultist_Blood-Chris"
Those words confused the cultist but suddenly one a wave of purple energy rush through them before a floating ball of blood appeared behind Chris, they all fell to the ground lifeless as the floating ball of blood fell at the same time.
Chris had teleported all the blood fo the Cultist present behind him, this made the glowing half of the OVERWRITE button glow dim but it still had a distinct glow.
"Now isn't this fun."
Chris was one step closer escaping this world.
[Re:Human/Re:Zero]
Next world will be Fate specifically during the fifth holy grail war, right now he has access to 50% of the OVERWRITE button and even with 100% he can't OVERWRITE the Fateverse without consequences.
[Re:Human/Re:Zero]
Level 19.
In the world of Undertale and it's Multiverse, Level 19 represented the final stages of being as after killing the last and fastest monster in the underground you would reach Level 20 and essential be a living calamity as you would become the strongest being in that multiverse.
Of course it had some drawbacks and for Frisk it was that Chara was at the brink of forming, but for Chris he had noticed how everytime he leveled up he would slowly lose his sense of Humanity. Even now smiling sitting around a campfire with the people who survived the so called attack of the Cultist he was pretending.
But despite this flaw it wouldn't stop him from leveling up one more time, he didn't care if he would fully become a killing machine he just wanted to leave this place. But glancing at the floating purple and broken Panel at his side he could already be called the second strongest being in this Universe, if he was in the original Re:Zero timeline he wouldn't be able to permanently OVERWRITE anything.
But it was different as he was in a world without Subaru which meant that it wasn't the 'Canon' timeline, this his ability to OVERWRITE was limited to his imaginations. If he were to lose his sense of emotions he could just regain them after fully fixing the button which he assumed would happen once he reached the supposed max Level his body has.
But what was stopping him from Overwriting his code so that he could surpass level 20?, absolutely nothing as he himself wasn't even the 'Canon' Frisk he was a variant of a variant. His only problem with the button was that he couldn't OVERWRITE someone stronger than him, he tried it a few moments ago by typing in the command to kill Satella and the witches permanently but instead he was met with an error and tons of blood lost.
Thankfully after a RESET to just be safe Incase the witches found out he tried to kill them, he sat down on a log with Beatrice right beside him as they watched the fireplace burn. After a few minutes the soldier's finally left leaving the two alone in silence, which was broken by Chris.
"I'm close to gaining the power we need to leave this world."
"Hmm."
Beatrice could only hum at his words, her blind loyalty towards Chris was something she herself was aware about but the pays that she had been contracted with him was one of the best she had in her long life. He was silent during their travel but she liked it that way he was cooperative cunning and smart in her eyes he was perfect.
If only Beatrice knew that the only reason why she was even still with him was because she had a useful amount of knowledge.
"I only have to three more people before we can leave this place."
[SAVE]
After pressing the save button Chris grabbed Beatrice by the throat, and quickly snapped her neck killing the spirit but instead dog leveling up a panel went from 0/3 to 1/3.
[RESET]
"Make that two."
