22 – The meaning of overpowered
"Come forth, Fists of Horus!"
The giant gold high tech gauntlets responded to my call and manifested. These fists were Kizuna's main weapon. Normally I wouldn't use these on such small fry, but right now, I'm angry.
Guns were pointed at me from all the android knights that stormed this penthouse.
"Yare yare. Pointing those guns at me means you have chosen death."
"The fuck you saying? There's a limit on how much of a nuisance you can be. Kill her! Fire all your weapons and…"
"Useless."
I swiped my fist just like a cat would try brushing off a toy. High pressure was generated around my fingers and the moment my swipe was finished, invisible claws assaulted all the knights lined up in front of me. All of them were completely smashed to pieces. Mechanical parts and body parts were scattered everywhere.
"What!? Just what the hell happened?"
He probably didn't figure out what happened. Honestly, the more I look at his face, the more annoyed I am.
I pointed towards him.
"Hiii!"
"Now then, against scum like you I won't even need a second to end your pathetic existence."
"Arch!! Get over here! Save me!"
Hmm? From a corner of the room, a guy wearing a black mecha suit and a V shaped visor jumped out of a corner, in front of the frog king.
"You're in for your doom now, brat! Arch is the strongest man in the galaxy!! Arch, mop the floor with her."
Arch huh? Strongest man in the galaxy? That's someone I recognize. He was an event raid boss that was indeed labeled in lore as the strongest man in the galaxy, but he's far from it. In Fraxinus Online he never worked for the ruler of Jewel Resort however.
He was a raid meant for new players to boost themselves to catch up to veterans. His level, if I recall, was 80. A level 100 player could solo him. That's why he could only be challenged by players in the level range of 50-75. And he did have an annoying gimmick. But… the level difference alone between Kizuna, which would have been 300, and this guy… there's no debate.
Even the last raid boss for foot battles implemented in the game was level 250.
"Young miss, I recognize that you are someone strong. But I can not let you do as you please. I am Arch, lord of gravity. If you do not wish to become a pancake, lay down your arms."
"Hahaha! That's a good one. You seem rather composed, but you're nothing more than a mouse before me. I'm the one that is going to give you a chance. If you wish to live, take a few steps back. But if you truly want to die, then by all means, approach me!"
"Do you think a bluff like that will work on me? I have my honor. There is only one answer I can give."
He took a step…
"Oi! Arch, are you crazy?" (Rikoris)
"What the!?" (Arch)
"It seems you want to live after all." (Kizuna)
That step. Was backwards.
"What is going on? I was sure I took a step forward."
That's mostly because I released a subtle amount of bloodlust.
"It's called fear. Your mind is telling you to fight, but your body reacted on instinct and did the opposite."
"Kuh. Fear. Don't mock me!"
A large amount of pressure was generated and cracks started to form on the ground. It was clear. He was increasing gravity. It was visible with the eye. A pressure just like the air was being sucked down by a vacuum cleaner.
"I've increased the gravity around us to 7 times this planet's normal amount. Moving should be impossible for you. There's nothing to fear."
He also wrapped himself in a dim purple light. Probably to not get affected himself. And he charged straight at me with his fist. Not bad actually. He plans to also increase the force of his blow with gravity.
"Got you!"
*Bang*
His fist was easily stopped by my index finger. Sparks were generated and gushing from the contact point, but even with an enhanced effect, I don’t feel a struggle.
“Is that really all you got? Pathetic.”
"Guhaaa!"
I flicked my finger. A larger spark was generated and just like getting hit by a fist, he was flying by the pressure straight into the wall.
"This can't be… I am… uneatable. Child… you shall taste the true meaning of gravity!! 50 times gravity!!"
The pressure became stronger. To the point that both Kitty and Rikoris fell down on the ground.
"Hey… Arch… this is too much. You're gonna crush me…"
"Silence. My pride comes first. Don't worry. You need to stay for at least 5 minutes under this morning effect to be crushed. Now then… little lady, cower in fear…"
*Yawn*
"Oh. Sorry about that. But this really managed to massage my shoulders. They were quite stiff, and thanks to your pressure I feel better now."
"How? How can you still move?"
It's not something that special. In fact, it's quite a boring skill. Kizuna doesn't come with a gravity ability, but thanks to her passive of being able to decipher the laws of a PA, my eyes glowed brightly once as if I had circuits instead of veins.
Then a couple of skill panels only I could see popped up. This reminds me of the game. Here, I don't even need to use my hands to connect them to one another. I just need to think about what I want.
"Ok. Seems like you haven't mastered your power at all. And because of that… I learned it."
I slightly waved my hand and suddenly the gravity disappeared.
"What!? Impossible!! What did you do? Gravity is under my command!"
"Wrong. If someone stronger than you has the same skill, the stronger effect always takes precedence. Now let me show you how to use that power correctly."
I pointed my finger at him. In the next moment a purple dome formed around him and he immediately hit the ground face down.
300 times gravity applied only in that enclosed space is all it took.
"Aaaa!!"
Blood started gushing from all between his armor joints. It's clear that his body wasn't made for that kind of pressure. Soon he was standing in a puddle of blood. And since he was oriented face down… he most likely drowned in his own blood. After 1 minute… he didn't make any more sounds. He was dead.
"Now then… all that's left is you."
"Hiii!! No, I beg you! I'll release this girl right now. I'll pay you anything! Everything is back to normal so there's no need to kill me! Please. Don't kill me! Show some mercy!"
"You want mercy? I think you're misunderstanding something then. You see, I could torture you like a mouse. I could pull out your innerds and heal you again. I could slice your balls off and heal you again. If I wanted I could break your mind and soul. So when you are asking for mercy… you are asking for death. In my book, death is equivalent to mercy. So I shall grant it to you."
"No! Wait!!"
But it was too late I appeared behind him. It took his own body a few seconds to realize that he was sliced to shreds. Like a balloon popping, a large splash of blue blood occurred behind me, but I didn't turn back.
"You're safe now, Stella. Now let's get out of this dump."
"Ojou-sama… yes. Thank you."
