Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Legend's potential
A few moments before.....
Muku was having trouble with the twenty swords when something happened.
[10% of Legendary Class potential realised]
Kcha!
Something seemed to break in Muku's mind due to the pressure. Suddenly the twenty swords that seemed super hard to control weren't as hard anymore. Then he got an idea...why not merge them and see if it's possible...
....
Back to the present....
Woosh!×2
Slash!
The two giant swords flew out, aiming at the giant lizards. Muku's aim was to wound them a bit and pull aggro while the girls gathered power. But surprising to all, him included, the beasts were cleanly sliced in two.
[82 kills left....]
[76 kills left....]
Even then, the blades still seemed to have some power left, in his excitement he noticed that Layla and Jade were still fighting their lizard. And so he sent the swords forth!
Stab!×2
Bang!×2
The lizard was impaled from above and basically nailed to the ground. A large sword going through it's head while another went through its back and both hit the ground with force. The lizard died on the spot without even a chance to resist. It hadn't even seen the swords coming as it had it's concentration fully occupied by the two girls who had already done significant damage to it.
[74 kills left....] (Muku)
[90 kills left....] (Layla)
[88 kills left...]. (Jade)
"Wtf!?". Jade couldn't help but scream out at the kill steal. Even Layla's lip was twitching, obviously also pissed off by what had happened, but was able to control herself a bit more. Then there were Emily and Chloe who were gathering power for their strongest attacks. They were dumbstruck, not knowing what to do. What were they supposed to do with the accumulated energy now?. It's not like they could just disperse it on a whim, they weren't strong or experienced enough for that.
"Ah, sorry about that, I got carried away". Muku said with an awkward expression on his face while scratching his cheek....face cheek, otherwise it would be weird.
All the girls even Hope who figured out what had happened looked at him with an emotionless gaze. Their eyes basically screaming "really n**ger?"
(A/N: Btw, I'm black....so you know)
As for Adam's group, they were looking at him with reverence in their eyes. He was like a god to them, he took care of such monsters all by himself and didn't even look tired at all. They wondered if they should defect on the safe zone and follow him around instead. But remembering how weak they were, he probably wouldn't accept them.
Not to mention he seemed to only be interested in having cute little girls in his group while they were average, big, grown *ss men. Which gave them more reason to give up.
Sadly for Muku, after them knowing him for less than a day, they had already branded him a pedo perv. If he knew he likely would have left them right there and then...after beating them up. How could they so one sidedly come up with a conclusion without even talking to him first?
Whoosh! Boom!
Pwak! Whoosh!
Two attacks resounded in the area.
....
A few minutes later....
The two groups were walking toward the stadium with a bit of space in-between them. It seemed Muku's group was discussing something in hushed voices and asked Adam's group to walk a bit behind them.
"So you're saying, that the reason why your class is Legendary is likely because not only is it strong from the start, all it's potential can be realised by specific actions, making it stronger?. And you just happened to realise a bit of the potential before when you pushed past your limits?". Jade asked for confirmation from Muku. He had taken the initiative to explain because he felt they would beat him up if he didn't, which wasn't too far from the truth.
Jade and Layla basically got their KP stolen, whole Emily and Chloe had to attack the sky because they no longer had targets, wasting half their mana. Their attacks even drew in a decent amount of unranked beasts which they had to unnecessarily fight and kill a few before scaring the rest off.
"Y-yeah, exactly, so can you all stop looking at me like I stole your life savings?" Muku said, his expression still awkward.
"Fine, we'll forgive you this once, just don't experiment after telling us to prepare attacks next time, nor kill steal just because you're excited" Emily was the one who spoke while the others nodded their heads in agreement. Of course Jade hoped they would make him pay in someway, but since the others had already agreed to let him off, she could only, reluctantly accept the situation.
"So can our classes also awaken their potentials". Jade asked after moving on, she didn't take long to jump in-between trains of thought after all. Her eyes sparkled as she thought of what her class would be able to do if she awakened it's potential.
"Probably so, but I think it will be a lot harder for you guys than it would be for me. Hell I even think that every class has potential, just that, it probably would take one hell of a catalyst to realise the potential of a Random class. And I have a feeling that there are more things hidden behind our classes that we will have to explore for and find. All of us". Muku replied to her.
"Tsk, so you're basically saying you have monopoly to unlocking your potential in normal cases?. So not fair, that attack of yours clearly had more power than Emily and Chloe's ultimate attacks. Not to mention you hadn't even merged them into one even larger sword yet. Sigh, whatever, one day I'll show you that your class is nothing special, hmph!, we're also Pseudo-Legendary after all". Jade said, even made a promise at the end. But it didn't disguise the obvious jealousy and bitterness in her voice which made everyone put on wrily smiles.
"Look over there, we've almost made it. That's the stadium...wow, it really has a green barrier around!" Hope exclaimed pointing forward as she was the only one looking that far ahead.
"It really does...Mr Adam, you and your group can come closer now, we're done talking.". Muku called out to Adam. He and his group then walked a bit faster to get closer to them. Although he and his group were a bit tired, they pushed on. They all knew the apocalypse wasn't a place to so easily give in to little tiredness, not to mention they were almost to their destination.
"Now, lets go have a look inside, shall we?". Muku said with a smile as they continued on.
....
In the shadow of a building twenty meters away from Muku's group and twenty away from the barrier. Big and yellow cat eyes suddenly opened with no visible body containing them and looked toward Muku's group with malice before closing up again.
Muku's group were walking straight towards the eyes and whatever creature they belonged to, seemed to be getting ready to receive it's meal or the day. It hadn't hunted since the previous day after all.
{Which one should I target?}. The creature thought, waiting for the prey to come closer into its striking range.
