Chapter 192 191. Act One: Complete!

***

THUD

"Haa..." I sighed as I stared at Faye's head fall on the ground.

"I can't believe Alvin was strong enough to be born as an undead and that to one of the higher ranked ones." I mumbled and glanced at the headless withered body which was named Alvin for maybe what? Like 20-25 years?

'What's with today? First, Damian! I can't believe he became a believer of a divine being!!" I half thought and half grumble. Damian was a hobgoblin mage who never believed in anything except strength and magic, his death made me slightly, tinny tiny bit, sad to be honest, but that enough to make use of.

'F**king divine beings!! I can't believe they sent a prophecy, again!!' I grumbled.

"Ah right! Am I really a 'demon' in the prophecy?" I scratched my chin and pondered.

"Well anyway, let's start the first....no, is it a second?" I ignored the matters which didn't matter much right now and started to think about my next moves.

'Act one: Making use of the rotten connection. Complete!' I grinned widely.

"And why the f**k did I change? Huu." I looked at my white hair in front of my eyes and blew at it.

[White Parasite activated.]

'Alter.' I changed my hair and eyes back to black, since I didn't know if my eyes had changed back or not, I altered them twice. Though even I thought it wasn't quite logical, but still.... I altered them twice.

"Seo Hana huh.... knowing her, she would be on her way here to help and rescue Faye from the undead, since she knows how dangerous they can be. Without wasting any more time, let's start the act two." I mumbled under my breath and activated what I call 'torch of emotions.'

(AN: It is used in vol 1 ch39. The Obituary Colosseum (3).)

"Heh, it was definitely worth looking at Alex's and others confused faces." I chuckled as I suddenly remembered how confused Alex Turner, Hana, and Elise were in the gate. I had used green flames, which indicated jealousy, on Alex when I helped Hana stand back up on her feet, though I was slightly concerned about it, since he may not like Hana and was ready to alter the flames to incite his 'man's pride' if it didn't work, but it was proved to be a useless concern.

"And I can't believe how intensely Hana glared at me at the beginning of the gate, it was so intense that I subconsciously tried to suppress her killing intent. I guess she is a Rank-SS hero for a reason, I didn't think there would be anybody who had such a strong amount of mana pressure among humans." I smirked as I remembered how she fell butt first. I have to admit her killing intent was quite strong, like that very annoying bug which you simply want to swat away, exactly like that one! and that was exactly why I subconsciously tried to suppress it.

"Ahem! I'm going off track again! Let's focus." I mumbled and glanced at my right fingers, which were lit in a reddish orange fire. It was a fire that simply used fire attributed mana, but it became like this after I used it. Pyre scolded me quite a bit when he saw me trying to imitate him, but still taught me how to use all the other elements; of course, he is a good guy. I'm not as good as Pyre in using different attributes of mana, but I'm definitely on par with him.

(AN: Pyre is introduced in vol 1 ch11 sector one.)

'Now that I think about it, three months are already over, maybe he'll return on his own in a few days, or should I call him myself....' I pondered, but shrugged eventually, like always.

"I'll get scolded by him if I summon him forcefully. Ah! Now that I have gotten stronger, he too would have gotten stronger because of our soul contract. Don't tell me, he is trying to purify the entire Sector One, hahahaha." I mumbled and laughed while the reddish orange fire covered my entire arms.

'Torch of emotions.' I muttered in my mind and added two emotions to the fire.

FUUUMMMM

The reddish-orange fire now had crimson-red and dark purple flames at the ends, while thick black smoke rose from it. Crimson red indicated anger while dark purple indicated pain; it was the perfect combination for the current situation 'Max' was in.

SHUFFLE

I crouched down and placed my flaming hands on the floor, and an invisible ripple shot out from beneath my palm, which cruised through every corner of the floor I was in before lighting the entire floor on fire, which would slowly climb up and down, engulfing the entire guild building by the time Seo Hana appeared.

"Surely not, right? Pyre isn't THAT reckless....right? Haha, ha." I laughed awkwardly as I thought about Pyre purifying the entire Sector One. It was once a home for both him and me, so he had been trying to save the nature there ever since, but since 'Pyre' wanted to purify it, he had to use only his own strength, because it was something he wanted and he didn't ask me for help in that matter, so of course I left everything to him. But now that I have gotten stronger, he.... that basta*d, would definitely purify Sector One completely.

"Haaa...." I sighed and shook my head as the fire continued to spread fiercely and had already engulfed two floors of the huge skyscraper.

'Well, I guess having a 'nigh unlimited mana' helps in such matters.' I shook my head with a smile.

'Nigh unlimited mana,' was because of 'the seed' or the world's mana core, which I had consumed in the past. It basically gave me free access to 'World energy', and I didn't know what its other abilities, benefits, traits, or things like that were; I also didn't have any expectations for it, since I almost ate everything I found, but now, with the help of the system and many unknown pieces of puzzles that I unknowingly gathered, I can finally 'use' world energy! It was invisible even to me, of course not that I have any complaints about it, as long as I have it, it doesn't matter.

(AN: The seed is mentioned ch 164: something important.)

The condition to activate the world's mana core was that I had to have all kinds of mana! Normal mana, aura, demonic energy, dragonic mana, void energy, attributed mana, divinity, and my own mana—damn, that's a lot of different kinds of mana.

(AN: void energy mentioned in ch110 Void energy.)

Though I had already gained control over the world mana, which was supposedly being cruising through my body, a while back, I had no control over how to activate or use the world energy outside, and there were tons of other complications to properly 'use' it, but now, I 'knew' how.

(AN: He got control over it in ch124 [??? Energy])

"I knew because..."

"!" I opened my eyes wide when I felt somebody from the outside extinguish my fire, which had already engulfed the whole skyscraper.

"She's here."
