Everyone Else Has a System-Chapter 292 Preparations In Netherrealm: Dungeon Of Death#5

Last time, killing the S4-Grade Monsters was a bit of a hurdle, but still I was able to do it after achieving a breakthrough in between the battles. Though the higher monster, that is the S5 monster, arrived only after I killed all the SSS-Grade Monsters.

This time, however, I saw 4 S5 Death Knight-like Monsters with an S6 Knight Monster in between. The atmosphere around the area too changed with the Death Energy flowing in excess than normal. Not minding much, I then dashed at them without taking a break.

They too dashed at me at once with the two of them soon dashing to the side and two of them jumping up high in the air.

The S6 Grade was still charging at me with all his force and pouring a bit of my own energy into the Deaths of Duality, I first reached that stronger knight and prepared to parry his attack.

The other knights, noticing me running towards the higher grade monster, started dashing towards me. The ones who jumped up in the air also flew down at me at rapid speed.

The S6-Grade Knight attacked me with his full might, which I had first parried a little. Then, realizing that I can't completely parry it, I dodged it swiftly, reaching beside him.

One of the S5 Knight reached behind me and sensing his direction of attack, I first parried him with one blade and then using the second blade in my hand, I pierced its chest and absorbed about one-third of his energy before,

"Light Fragment: Ablaze," I muttered, burning him into ashes and jumping away from the incoming attack of the rest of the monsters.

"1 down. 4 more to go," I smiled as I looked at the remaining 4 monsters making a formation with the S6-Grade in between and the rest S5 surrounding it from 3 sides.

Then the two at the back began doing something, and a shield came up covering various areas of the S6-Grade Knight. The S6-Grade Knight then used his broadsword and pierced the chest of the monster in its front. His sword absorbed the S5-Grade Monster before a strange energy started flowing out of that S6-Grade Knight. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

"Let's pretend that it's S7 for now… that should be about a General Parasite Grade, huh?" I thought as I realized that it would be a really good time to practice against a foe that could be equally strong as the incoming enemy.

"Forbidden Magic: White Knight's First Breath," I muttered as I let all my Life Energy consume my Death Energy at once. Normally I should have died, but because I was currently connected with the Deaths of Duality, I was fine… as long as the Deaths of Duality had that Death Energy stored inside it.

My blood turned black, so did my skin. Then black lines started forming all over my body, from the very bottom to the tip of my head. My white hair grew up to my waist with my eyes turning deep white.

Other than Blood Sacrifice: Second Moon and Forbidden Magic: Demonic Angel's Rebirth, this was my third and last sacrificial move that, under normal conditions, would have killed me.

This move was oriented to a one-on-one fight, as it required real focus and concentration to use the power to its maximum limit.

Looking at that S6 Grade Knight preparing to fight me as he took his stance, I too prepared myself for a do or die kind of battle.

-Dash!

-Clank!

I dashed first as I reached that guy and swung my swords at him, but he, too, changed his stance, parrying my attack before going for a counterattack. Though, immediately getting my momentum back, I parried his attack as well, creating a gap between us as I pushed myself away from him.

Before I gained my momentum back, I saw that the knight was already reaching me and I took a deep breath before aiming at his sword rather than his body this time. I added a bit of extra Death Energy into my attack and the result was…

-Slash!!

The S6-Knight's sword was cut apart into two pieces before I took a step back, changed my stance again, and then pierced his chest with all my strength.

Once the sword reached inside his chest, I absorbed a bit of his power, then took the sword out again immediately. Within the same moment, I used the power which I absorbed to pierce it again. Once again, I absorbed a bit of his power again and took it out again before piercing his chest once more… and then again… and again… again… and over a hundred times.

Though I did about a hundred attacks, it took mere seconds because of the motion and speed I was using.

Then…

I stepped back as I was getting a bit sloppier for the lack of stamina. Though… he was mostly dead… he had hundreds of holes in his chest, and it was a miracle that he was still standing.

Not wasting my time, I jumped at him and slashed him a couple of times before half absorbing him, while burning the rest half.

Then I turned to the other two S5-Grade Monsters standing there as they fell to their knees with their weapons falling to the ground. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

I slowly walked towards them and observed them carefully. It didn't seem like they were alive as well. So I just absorbed both of them as well, filling a bit of my power back as well.

I saw that the Light Energy was slowly taking over my body as it started vanishing, so I used the Death Energy stored in the Deaths of Duality to bring it back to normal.

"Now that I think about it… without Rejection Fragment, this mode, White Knight's First Breath, might have already killed me a long time ago in the previous timeline. It wasn't just this but the Deaths of Duality too…" I recalled how much of an idiot I was in the previous timeline.

'Well… desperate times call for desperate measures,' thinking that I then moved towards the portal at a distance that would take me to the 19th floor.
