Chapter 101 - Heaven’s Sun
As Yuki opened the double doors to the dungeon, he was greeted at the sight of an entire army waiting for him. Every person tensed up at the sight of the dungeon entrance/exit opening. However, once they saw who exited out of them, they relaxed and some even laughed. After all, what was the most a kid could do to a whole army.
Unbeknownst to Yuki, nearly all his clothes had been shredded in the dungeon. He was completely shirtless and the only thing he had left were his trousers which now looked like shorts which had been bitten by a lion. Yuki had only realized this when he exited the dungeon gate as the cold breeze made contact with his body. The temperature in the dungeon was so warm that it made up for Yuki losing his garments, however that would not be the case in the outside world.
As Yuki looked at his chest, he was taken aback by it.
"When did I get so jacked?" Yuki asked himself as he looked at his chiseled abs.
The king from the 8th stage of the first dungeon instantly walked up to Yuki before kneeling down to greet him. The army stood with a blank face as they saw this event go by. They thought that everyone who heard of Yuki would either fear or hate him. So seeing this was quite perplexing for them.
"You can get up. There\'s no need to be so formal," Yuki said as he helped the king get up. The king from the 8th stage of the first dungeon began to take out all the supplies he had bought from his large bag. Yuki smiled as he was quite satisfied with the purchases the king had made.
[Open inventory]
Yuki placed all the items which he had received from the king into his inventory. However, as the king took out the last item from his inventory. He said something to Yuki.
"You didn\'t ask for this my liege but I thought it would be befitting of you," said the king as he pulled out a red cape with white fur lining and golden pins. Yuki was taken by surprise as he hadn\'t expected this. Even if it was bought with his own money, it was the first time in a while since he had received a gift of any kind. Yuki simply smiled as he tried to hold back his tears of joy and wore the cape which the king bought for him.
Yuki pulled out "King\'s Crown" from his inventory and placed it on his head. Seeing Yuki look like a proper king made the king from the 8th stage of the first dungeon fall to his knees.
"Thank you. You can go back now," said Yuki, and with that the king turned into white liquid before being pulled into the crown after his long journey in the outside world.
"Now..." Yuki said as he looked at the army standing in front of him in a crescent moon formation.
"Oh that\'s great. At least he\'s here," Yuki said as he sensed the presence of someone familiar.
"Activate ability: Fire Control"
Yuki leaped into the air and with the assistance of his ability, he was able to jump from the gateway entrance all the way to where the person he sensed was at.
"Long time no see," Yuki said as he gave a fake smile at Carmi.
"You wouldn\'t happen to remember what I told you the last time we saw each other right?.." Yuki asked sarcastically to help Carmi remember the warning Yuki had given him.
"You can kill me if you want but know this, you\'ll die here today," replied Carmi as hundreds of people turned their attention to Yuki-prepared to sacrifice themselves to win this battle. However Yuki didn\'t care much about what the weaker people did. The weaker people in Yuki\'s eyes, being nearly everyone. He did however sense the presence of 9 people which wouldn\'t be a challenge for him but would be fun to toy with. Those being the 5 level 4 mercenaries from Scar\'s group and the 4 level 5 players which were hired by the crime syndicate.
"Oh I\'m so sorry," said Yuki.
"It\'s too late to apologize. You\'ll pay for your crimes here and now," replied Carmi.
"Wait no. I\'m apologizing for not making it clear how pointless this is. Please forgive me for not showing you this earlier," said Yuki.
"Activate ability: Fire Control"
"I just thought of a name for this move. Please turn your heads towards the sky, I like to call this \'Heaven\'s Sun\'" said Yuki. Even though only the people close to him could hear him, as one person looked up, the rest followed suit.
As each person looked at the sky, they were able to watch as an enormous sun-like object began to break through the clouds. The size alone was scary enough that nearly everyone gave up right then and there. It was bigger than the entire army combined.
"You see now, I tried to warn you last time. Now everyone will die here because of your reckless decisions," said Yuki.
Engulfed in fear, a couple of people tried to run away which caused a butterfly effect which made nearly all the soldiers try to run for their lives.
"I don\'t think so..." said Yuki as he created a 50 feet tall, crescent shaped fire wall which looked to be 4 meters thick.
"This isn\'t fair. How were we expected to defeat a monster like this? He doesn\'t even look tired. He has every single one of us cornered and can finish us off with a single attack when he wishes to do so," said one of the soldiers as he fell to his knees and began to break down.
Some laughed as they lost hope, others cried as they missed their family or friends. This was the end for them, it was a suicide mission. Even the level 4 and 5 players began to look a bit concerned.
"These fools. Even at level 12, I wouldn\'t be able to create such massive solid structures. Good thing they aren\'t solid but hollow. They just have to buy my bluff and I\'ll let them live. Though I don\'t mind killing them and getting the exp, it would just place more attention on me and attract more mercenaries. I can use this as an opportunity to set an example out of them.
