ENERGI: THE PRIMORDIAL CONDUIT[OP MC, APOCALYPSE, SURVIVAL, AND LITRPG]
CHAPTER 96: BLACKOUTThe rebelling survivors in the corridor shook like dry leaves caught in a tempest, as they watched the situation unfold in the ruins before them.
The guns that had filled them with a feeling of safety fell from their hands, and soon after, the sounds of sobs filled the area.
One even peed his pants, his mind almost overwhelmed with fear.
How could he not? When the monster they had attacked had single-handedly decimated their supposed leaders.
What were they supposed to do now? Fight him? What a joke! Those were First Orders, and they had been wrecked!
They were only students, and beginner firearm mastery or not, not a single one of them had ever taken a life before.
Not that they had the strength to, anyway.
Back on the battlefield.
Kael gazed at Rachel indifferently. From his flat look, one wouldn't guess the shocking wave of pain tearing through his body. Nor would one imagine such a placid expression on the face of someone inches away from taking a life.
Kael couldn't guess for the life of him how Rachel had managed to draw close to him. Despite having his entire attention on Logan, he still didn't dare lose awareness of his surroundings. After all, Logan wasn't his only enemy.
Yet even now, he could still hear the painful grunts coming from afar, Ben's voice having acted as background music for his brutal brawl with Logan.
That was to say, despite not daring to use the two mind abilities of his mythical skill, he still had his focus divided between his fight and watching around him.
And yet, Rachel had still managed to close the distance unnoticed.
"I said let go!"
- TTANG!
Rachel barely finished her words when a clanging sound filled the entire area. Yet Kael was the one who had a change in expression, even if only slightly.
Rachel didn't show any sign of hearing that familiar sound his mind and body were getting used to. Even Ben and Logan, two First Orders, had their minds disoriented every time it occurred.
At the same time Kael was surprised, the voice speaking to Rachel was also shocked into silence.
['Another will?']
['How is that possible?']
The presence grew more and more shocked the longer they stayed in this newly awakened world. They felt their view broken again and again, every logic the outer universe adhered to shattered one too many times.
There were just too many anomalies in this world.
First, there were so many unusually powerful figures. Epic-rank awakened were already peak geniuses of their worlds, and only in a few rare instances would Legendaries surface. And when they did, they shook the multiverse with their unmatched talents.
Yet not only had he seen two Legendaries in Rose and Elena, that girl Alice seemed to carry a deep secret even he couldn't parse. Not to mention the elephant in the room, Kael. The boy was a mystery even to a figure like him.
Finally, the undead at the top of the school was another anomaly he couldn't wrap his head around.
['It's a pity I can't connect to my main body...']
If only the mysterious being had been strong enough to cover the entire planet with his perception just like a certain being, he would have been rendered numb by the sight of more than a few Legendaries.
Alas, he was only a split will, and wasn't as monstrous as the mysterious figure who had seen Kael.
Outside, Rachel's grip on the gun weakened from the sweat in her palms.
What she didn't know was that Kael wasn't afraid of her in the slightest. After all, he still had a trump card he was yet to use.
His class trait, the Primordial Instinct.
It had already been more than a week since he was forced to the back seat of his body, but it was just that Kael didn't want to rely on such a cheat.
For one, the idea of having something else wear his body rubbed him the wrong way. Not to mention his pride wouldn't allow it.
Also, if he relied on such a thing, wouldn't he eventually grow dependent on it? Then it would only take a mistake or complacency on his part for him to die without knowing. After all, he could only rely on the instinct once a week.
Of course, it wasn't lost on him that the instinct would be a good way to learn more about the laws...
He just wasn't willing.
But that didn't mean he was stupid. He knew if the instinct judged he was completely helpless against a threat to his life, it would appear, so he really wasn't afraid of Rachel's threat.
- CRACK!
It was in the midst of his thoughts that the neck in his grip snapped and Logan's body completely grew limp.
[You have killed...]
[You have received...]
[Congratulations! You have leveled up! +1 to ...]
[You have received 823 coins]
Kael's body had just relaxed at the same time the system messages flooded in when...
- BANG!
A gunshot filled his senses, and soon after, the world turned black.
The gun fell from Rachel's trembling hands, her face deathly pale. Her legs grew soft and she fell on her rear, her pupils contracting at the sight before her.
Silence lingered for three seconds before the voice sounded in her mind once more.
[Mark my words, girl. You will regret this.]
