NOVEL NEXT Chapter 85: Sigh....
The feeling was dazing, anticipating what rank he would get. The angelic voice hesitated and for a moment, Rhett concluded it was trying to be dramatic, to add some sort of tense effect to the scene.
[HARNESSER]
Rhett blinked twice and squeezed his face into a grimace.
HARNESSER?, what does that do?
[YOU GET THE UNIQUE ABILITY TO HARNESS ANY POWER. UTILIZE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY GOOD RANK]
Rhett kept going up towards the skies, his face etched like someone that was being bitten by something.
The place that was hot suddenly became cold and very freezing, it was cold but came with a sensational effect. It was burning with cold.
He raised his hands up and it felt like he was being thrust into a void. Large, seeming it would swallow him. He saw black and then, a raging feeling, like he was being flung into oblivion.
He heard the angelic voice:
[HARNESSING COMPLETE. HOST, ASCEND!]
Rhett didn't quite get the ascending part.
'To where'.
It seemed like the voice read his thoughts because now it said:
[TO THE BATTLE GROUND]
He felt a big, a big bang!
BANG!
____________
Rhett opened his eyes to see himself outside the soul eater's body. He was now standing, in the middle of five soul eaters, large, a gigantic sword in his hands, the edges looking jagged and seeming like something with splinters.
He ought to be shocked but he ignored the act. He now harnessed a great power and looking shocked?
That would ruin the steeze that came with it. Instead he became calm and breathed in and out, looking at the soul eaters who were eating the last remnants of a human's body.
The surviving dragon slayers were still many but by Rhett's calculations, about 30 percent had died and by merely thinking about it, he felt infuriated.
The soul eaters stared at him, noticing he now possessed greater power. They licked their shadowy lips and now descended on him.
Rhett moved sideways with ease, acting very demure like he wasn't in a tense situation. He had now learnt to allay his fears and not to be too shocked and confused about things happening to him.
That was growth!
He had seemed to realize that being king of the dragon slayer, he had many things to face and even though it might seem weird, he was now ready to accept his fate and utilize it to his advantage.
Rhett moving sideways to dodge the descending of the soul eaters, thrust his sword forward and it entered easily into a soul eater who, with his large and heavy stature, howled and slumped on the ground, immediately turning to dark ashes.
He then heard the angelic voice:
[FIRST TIER TWO SHADOW MONSTER {SOUL EATER} SLAYED]
[ABOUT TEN MORE TO GO]
Rhett breathed in and then out quite tentatively.
'That is a lot', he thought, bracing himself for another challenge.
He got that by the way, a soul eater had reeled its enormous hand towards his direction. Rhett somersaulted, his hand gripping his sword tightly. He landed on the monster's hands and raising his sword, chopped it off. Before the monster could complete the scream that was coming out of its mouth, Rhett had sent him a kick to its jaw.
Before it could 'properly' react, Rhett had plunged his sword into its chest. Leaping from the body of the monster who was falling down, he went to another and it sent his hands at him. Rhett simply jumped on them and aimed his sword at the soul eater's neck, chopping off.
Ash and Haicor, from where they hid, could only watch in shock. Infact, they were even coming out now, looking upwards at Rhett, who was leaping from one monster's body to another, slaying them.
The other dragon slayers stood and watched in awe.
'He's the one,' they thought. 'The prophesied one, the one that will take us to paradise'.
Rhett kept hearing the angelic voice now as he was slaying many of the soul eaters.
[SECOND TIER TWO SHADOW MONSTER {SOUL EATER} SLAYED]
[THIRD TIER TWO SHADOW MONSTER {SOUL EATER} SLAYED]
[FOURTH TIER TWO SHADOW MONSTER {SOUL EATER} SLAYED]
Rhett kicked back by the eye and as it reeled to fall, he leaped in the air and thrust his sword very deep by the side of its neck.
It fell and turned to dark ashes.
Rhett leaped from its body and went to another, thrusting his sword by the side of its cheek. It fell and Rhett's feet finally touched the ground.
He paused and faced his back as it fell. He didn't look, he just gripped his sword and looked forward. Since he was a kid, he had always wanted to do that. He remembered that every time the power rangers defeated a villain that was how they did and now, doing it, with many people looking and admiring him like a god, he felt honoured.
He was tired of slaying them one by one, the act seemed exhausting to him so he decided to try something with the remaining soul eaters who were now six now.
Rhett turned and faced them, then he breathed in and out and packed all the air into his nostrils before letting out again. The soul eaters, scared or wanting to see what he would do, paused and stared at him, their faces expressionless.
Well, Rhett looked vile and vicious (in a heroic manner). He looked at the ground, not letting them see his face. And then, with the sky now becoming a shade too dark, he raised his sword up and lightning struck it.
BOOM!
Rhett waved it as the soul eaters and…
WHOOOSH!
They were all taken back by that. Then, a blinding light, at this point no one could see them again and…
BOOM!
Oblivion!
They were no more.
The angelic voice rang out:
[YOU HAVE JUST SLAYED TEN TIER TWO MONSTERS - ON THEIR WAY TO ATTAINING THREE WHICH THEY SEEM TO HAVE. {SOUL EATERS}_]
Rhett fell to his knees, exhausted and stared at the skies, he was expecting his rank to show right about now-
#$#$
31
NAME: KING RHETT
RANK: DRAGON SLAYER {MASTER}
Slayer hub: Level 3/10
[XP - 600]
{400 XP added}
[XP needed to Next level: 1000]
Abilities: [PORTAL ASCENDER, GAZE KILLER, DUST BOMB]
Artifacts - [PORTAL COIN, DEMON HORN]
It felt mesmerizing to Rhett. On his knees, breathing hard, looking downwards, he smiled, just for a short while and stood up, his hands wide open in the air, raising it up.
The surviving dragon slayers looked at him and they could only bow, their eyes gleaming in awe. Ash and Haicor ran over to where he was and stared at him in the face.
"Damn!", Ash exclaimed. "You're powerful!".
And then he faced the crowd, bracing himself to do a compulsory act. Something he had been doing since, anytime Rhett found victory. It wasn't too often but it was on occasions that called for one.
"ALL HAIL KING RHETT, KING OF THE DRAGON SLAYERS!".
The crowd echoed:
"ALL HAIL KING RHETT, KING OF THE DRAGON SLAYERS".
A blast of a horn tore through the place and went into the horizon, filling it.
Rhett looked at the direction it was coming from and saw that it was a young knight, a young man actually but carrying a miniature body, perhaps a misshape, which made him carry the uncanny resemblance of a kid.
Rhett looked at the skies and kept raising his hands up. Haicor drew nearer to Ash and said:
"It was in the prophecy. It was written in the book I'm holding that a horn would blast and he would look to the sky, seeming like a demigod".
Ash looked at her in the face for about five seconds and said:
"But he is now a demigod, he seems too powerful, he ought to be".
Haicor scoffed. "He is powerful, but not as much as you want to make it sound. In all my little years of reading history books, I've read a lot about monsters in this village and their tiers and I'm telling you, Rhett hasn't awakened a rank that will make him near a demigod".
Ash could only reply to her with"Hmmm".
He looked at Rhett and was about to walk over to him but stopped. Dhamsel, standing in akimbo from the crowd, stared at them and could only shake her head in astonishment. She was shaking her head just a bit to the left and right repeatedly, a grimace on her face.
Ash, looking at her and seeing she didn't bow didn't really care. He and Haicor were not bowing so why should she?. Rhett wasn't a demigod by the way so all this reverend stuff to him was kind of uncalled for. But again, he decided it would show how mighty he had become, at least to his subjects.
Ash was surprised when he heard a grunt, tracing the sound to the crowd, he looked and saw Dhamsel who was being pulled down by
