(A/N: Bonus Chapter).

A familiar sound rang in the air, a dark line swiping through the it as Yuyui slashed from top to bottom diagonally at the hundreds of flying Fire Breeders!

This whistle of Demion's Dance's edge as it cut the air spelled the carving up of all the Cluster beasts that were touched by the dark line which sped forward eagerly!

Blood flew and the dozens of enemies fell, some spinning wildly in the air as their rhythm was compromised, the dark coloured slash going for the kill in a radius of over forty meters!

The lime haired girl who still remained in her stance had bulged eyes.

Her hands trembled and she swallowed a lump of saliva!

This...

The dead bodies that lay before her along with the carved earth from her swinging Demion's Dance with all her might...

This was her?

"I... I actually... did it?" she questioned herself in disbelief at the carnage that brought a temporary pause to the rest of her enemies.

Did she just FIGHT?

The cumulative mana experience she felt rushing into her as it awaited for her complete her Task...

The rush in her blood, a reaction from taking the lives of her enemies...

It was evidence that she had just fought!

"Wooaa...' the girl expressed as she breathed out, shockingly, her forehead twitching multiple times.

The way a dark streak emerged with her using the blade was just like how Sila used this green sword back then, opening a way for Skullius to see how to effectively wield this weapon that one half of a deathly whole!

But there was clear difference with how it appeared when Skullius used it and the Penetrator, who was watching this unfold was also surprised!

This wasn't how he had thought this would devolve at all!

It was even better, but suspiciously so.

'She doesn't have the [Swindling Death's Dance] though. How did she... Wait. Is it because she...' Skullius thought with his four socket flames blazing madly but he decided to not waste time on thinking anymore.

This was a time for action!

The Nullmancer raised his bony hand and called for the mana and Null Life Essence from the corpses!

This had been his aim, and with this unexpected show by Yuyui, he got more than bargained for!

The Cluster General in this moment turned to give a glance over to where Yuyui was with curiosity.

What was that power?

Was it from that sword?

Where did that sword even come from?

'There are too many unknowns,' the large creature thought. Still it didn't seem like there was much of a threat with these captives. They couldn't run around as they did before with him here.

Unless it was that form that the skeleton creature took at the same time of day twice before, he didn't need to take these three seriously.

All this was a desperate attempt at nothing but failure.

One of these three was still bound and—

....!

The General's attention was nabbed once again.

What was it now?

Streams of white burst from the corpses that were spread all over, rushing over to Skullius who immediately condensed them into two floating orbs that started to float around his core.

Then...

The Penetrator's flames cruelly blazed as on his hand, the circular groves that were etched there since he received a certain upgraded skill, shone luminously!

Pfssss!

The Nullmancer emitted mana from between his teeth!

Skullius swung his glowing hand down while uttering with malice the name of his new skill!

"Serration Zone: Baneful Edge."

6000 Null Life Essence points were immediately prepared for the foretold carnage!

....!

Null Life generally went unnoticed most of the time, but right now...this version of it, caused every creature in the vicinity to gnash their teeth as their bodies instinctively stiffened!

This was an unnatural skill with an effect that appealed to instinct!

No.

Rather than a skill, it was a whole phenomenon that was not of this world!

And Skullius aimed it right in the direction of the Cluster General whose face grew vicious, finally showing aggressive emotion for the first time!

'You can move now bro,' Skullius told Ferex who remained in place, bound by the ropes as he had been instructed not to miniaturise by Skullius right after he had had the conversation with the Cluster General back then.

They had needed to remain as captives back then but now...

Ferex grew tiny, the ropes remaining to bind nothing. He shot off as he went to accomplish his own mission. His part of the fight that Skullius wasn't privy to.

No one cared about him at this moment though, as in the split second that had passed, all the high level Fire Breeders and the guards rushed to protect the Cluster General, congregating in one place!

Unfortunately, the Cluster General, his body brimming with power from the dull purple core in his body, blurred, eclipsing all the guards in speed shot towards Skullius to stop him from casting the skill!

Before the effects of his dreadful ability could activate, the greatsword of the large creature blurred, its speed being so fast that it became an orange streak in the air!

The sword hammered through Skullius' torso and planted itself into the ground with a resounding boom that reverberated throughout this flat plane, causing it explode as if ignited a miniature sun!

Everyone who had been standing here fell to the lands before, some propping in the pool of magma here, like Yuyui... who screamed the whole way as she met a flaming demise only to resurrect multiple times as she crept closer to the ground with each revival.

Skullius had been spit in half, his arms also torn away, the greatsword that the Cluster General having now gone through his spine.

Unfortunately, this spread away the two floating orbs of compressed mana Skullius had saved up.

The two were on the pile of debris that floated over this pool of magma that Skullius recognised. 𝐟𝗿𝚎𝐞𝓌e𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝒆𝑙.c𝚘𝓶

The Cluster General didn't look as relaxed anymore, his body emitting a vicious presence that began to melt everything around, including Skullius.

A weird halo with beautiful pink patterns swirled around the two, coming from the sword and the Penetrator knew exactly what it was.

This was an effect of the greatsword that nullified the casting of skills and abilities!

"That didn't go well..." Skullius said self mockingly.

'I see you're still enjoying yourself," the Cluster beast said as he established a connection with Skullius' mind. 'You knew there was a natural enemy of my race outside didn't you?'

The Cluster beast had seen it. The harsh cold outside that formed the popular tourists' site, the Creeping Chill. A cold so powerful, Skullius, Yuyui and Ferex had started to freeze the second they got into contact with it.

The two hundred and ten scouts that exited the Cluster had all been frozen, despite the fire essence within them.

'Of course I did. I hoped you'd jump out immediately but I guess I was wrong.'

'Hmmm. You think I will fold just like these weaklings?' the Cluster General asked. 'Your provocative words spurn me to believe that there is falsehoods to many of your claims. And even if they are true...'

The Cluster General paused his line as from behind his back, fire blazed in two streams that eventually formed two red hot webbed wings!

The General grabbed Skullius and his greatsword, his crown pulsing with power as two of the high level Fire Breeders' eyes turned blank, and followed after their lord.

"Capture the other two," the Cluster General said before blasting through the large open space into Aigas that was up above!

"Master!" Yuyui called with a look of concern as she reappeared from another death, Demion's Dance in hand.

Her forehead twitched again, a small opening beginning to show as if reacting to her emotion.

Her bangs that covered the Inhuman Eye on her face moved out of the way as for the first time, Yuyui actually showed aggression.

Her breathing accelerated again as she felt frustrated.

Skullius had helped her find a part of herself she didn't know even know she had.

Her impression of the skeleton had shifted greatly as a result of this and to lose him right now would be devastating.

One of the guards of the Cluster General wore an annoyed face as he turned to his fellow guard who had the same look on his face.

They were upset that even though their lord stressed that they were there to protect him, he up and left them behind every time they tried to do their job.

One of them, with flames lighting from his back burst with incredible speed towards Yuyui and gripped her by the hair, making her kneel.

He kicked away Demion's Dance which was picked up by one of the Fire Breeders and scoffed at Yuyui who puckered her lips as her chest rose up and down rapidly.

He then turned to the other Fire Breeders with a fierce expression and gave an order.

"Find the other one. He must be here somewhere!"

Yuyui's forehead twitched once more.

The sword her master had entrusted with to her earlier had been nabbed.

Her glorious shift...or what should have been, was trampled by... evil.

Yuyui couldn't help but gnash her teeth.

This was a dangerous time but now she knew to fight. She knew she could.

She just needed something to fight with.

Her forehead twitched again.

'Come on! I was just starting to like my new self. I won't let it end here!' she thought as her face contorted.

The Fire Breeder that held her hair pulled on it quite hard as he dragged her to the others without mercy, garnering a death stare from Yuyui who struggled.

The girl ground her teeth, her good nature slowly being clouded by dark thoughts.

But what could she do now?

Well...

"Huh?" the lime haired girl felt something slide into her hand. Her eyes couldn't see it but she felt it. It was heavy.

The moment she welded it, it started to suck up a whole lot of her mana, which caused some alarm but this changed for the girl pretty soon.

Within the blink of an eye, a message that streamed into her mind from this sword calmed her down and made her tremble in excitement at the same time.

Her wish had just been granted and it would start with the bastard pulling on her hair.

***

The moment the Cluster General and Skullius exited the Cluster, the monstrous Cluster beast shot high up, avoiding the foggy cold.

They soared a good few hundred meters into the air as the tall creature and the Fire Breeders behind it took in the view - on his behalf as well.

Hmmm.

It was nothing special.

It was merely an opposition of what he and his kind saw everyday.

But perhaps there was more, further out there.

"So this is your world..." the Cluster General said to Skullius whom he held by the torn spine, a scoff that followed from his mouth releasing a puff of steam.

As the Cluster beast attempted to move forward, he felt a shiver from his body. A shiver of instinct.

He turned to the exit from the Cluster.

"If I go any further away, my world will be destroyed," he said to himself. It was a choice he could make. A choice each Cluster General could make.

"In that case, I might as well make myself at home right here..."

The Cluster General reduced his altitude of flight and opened his mouth wide, the heat that was spread out from his volcano-like mouth causing a loud hiss in the cold, snowy air.

Within the extraordinary gap that opened from this creature's face, flashes of red lightning and flame flickered, a natural ability on the level of a high tier Special skill being used.

Flame Storm Gullet!
