Chapitre 38: Galaxy Sword
"Nice. But let's take this elsewhere, shall we?"
Jamie clapped his hands and surrounded the giant with spatial energy with the intention of teleporting him away but he quickly used his own law energy and resisted the teleportation.
"Figured that was gonna happen."
He only smiled wryly when he saw that the giant was capable of resisting his teleportation, before using his spatial energy to twist his body and avoid the punch that came barrelling towards him.
Right after, he jumped onto Hecragar's arm and ran up the limb towards the giant's head, but there was no way the monster was gonna let him reach so easily.
He swung down the metallic arm crafted from universal law energy to swat Jamie off, however, the Hybrid who had no intentions of being squashed like a fly, jumped up and stomped down onto the giant's elbow, breaking it and eliciting an agonized roar from him.
Jamie quickly flew into the air and charged towards the outskirts of the city where they had been before, with Hecragar chasing after with multiple consecutive long jumps while launching countless razor-sharp blades toward Jamie.
The silver-haired man used spatial expansion and compression to slow down and destroy the projectiles, before creating a bow of blue energy and launching six massive arrows of flame and lightning.
Hecragar punched forward with his metal-crafted arm, sending forth shockwaves that collided with the arrows and destroyed them in small explosions.
Simultaneously, the giant formed a set of strange hand seals with his two lower arms, channelling an immense concentration of metal universal law energy through his body.
The air around him seemed to tremble in response to the building up energy and the ground beneath him quaked as if in protest.
Jamie naturally sensed the condensing energy and deduced the giant was up to something, while the others all felt their instincts telling them to get the heck out of the area.
Some of the Legendries who had concluded their battles and taken out the other monsters already began preparing defensive measures as regardless of whether Jamie managed to deal with it or not, the power behind whatever Hecragar was planning was not something that could be handled easily.
The atmosphere crackled with universal law energy, and the sheer weight of the impending devastation filled the air with an unsettling tension that left everyone on edge.
{Eruption Barrage}
Hecragar gestured with one of his lower arms, triggering a series of controlled eruptions across the ground.
Molten metal and molten rock burst forth from the ground, launching in a fiery and destructive barrage toward Jamie.
A few of the Legendries motioned to help Jamie with handling the attack, but they found that there was some sort of spatial disruption that prevented them from getting closer to him.
The giant took a runner's stance, using a few unfortunate buildings as a runner's block, before kicking off the ground and charging forward at max speed.
Sound was easily left behind as he blitzed in behind Jamie who was dealing with his eruption barrage, holding a massive orb of energy in his palm.
{Metallithurge: Titanic Metallic Blast.}
With a sweeping motion, the giant unleashed a colossal beam that surged forward in a blinding arc of radiant silver, the beam's intense heat disintegrating all the structures it passed and carving the ground on its way towards the Hybrid's back.
He was sure he had moved faster than Jamie could react and he filled the area with his own energy, an attempt to delay the silver-haired man from using the ambient spatial energy for his benefit.
However, Jamie who wasn't even looking in his direction only smiled and raised his right hand, holding his thumb atop his index finger.
*SNAP!
Strangely enough, everyone was somehow able to hear the echoing sound of his fingers snapping.
"Void."
That one word escaped his lips, and the space laws in the area trembled in response, converging at a singular point and blooming into a massive distortion.
A singular massive dark portal manifested into existence, adorned with radiant blue energy that danced along the edges, and an abyssal void devoid of light or substance within it.
The magnetically charged disintegration beam surged right into the portal that yawned open before it and vanished into the darkness beyond it.
In an instant, the portal snapped shut, the brilliant blue energy disappearing as abruptly as it had appeared, after having devoured the giant's all-out attack.
Not a trace remained as the attack was extinguished from existence, as though it had never been.
Silence pervaded the area, as the battlefield momentarily held its breath, stunned by the spectacle that just occurred.
The surprise made a few miss how Jamie handled the eruption barrage in front of him using spatial compression.
Hecragar who believed Jamie was not going to be able to open up a portal fast enough was momentarily dumbfounded, but he kept his calm.
'He'd definitely fire it back to me; I just have to wait for him to do so.'
However, a few seconds passed, and Hecragar's expression turned strange as Jamie did not redirect the power of the beam like he had seen him to Glox's Arc Convergence.
His backup plan banked on the Hybrid doing exactly that, after all.
Even the other Legendries who were present expected him to do that, as that was the most basic yet advanced technique all those who possessed spatial skills and could create wormholes with them could do.
"…hmm? Were you expecting me to fire it back at you?"
Jamie spoke after noticing Hecragar's expression slowly turning darker as time passed, figuring out what the giant had expected.
"Sorry, but that's not happening.
Dunno if you knew before but that was a 'True Void'. You know, the 'Nothingness' kind. That beam's gone for good."
The words 'gone for good' made Hecragar's expression contort even more. He tried to quickly conjure up another attack but he was suddenly overcome by a sudden wave of lethargy.
{Guh!}
Grunting in pain, he staggered backwards while holding his head with his metal-crafted arm, but the arm suddenly dissolved back into molten metal and slipped off the severed stump, falling towards the ground.
The dark red glyphs on his normal arms flickered dangerously before dimming completely as his unique skill was forcefully deactivated.
He had exhausted most of his energy and the amount he had left was not enough to support the skill's activation state.
"Energy deficiency? No, you're not quite there yet but you're close.
And frankly, so am I."
Jamie spoke as he landed atop a half-collapsed skyscraper that had a quarter of its upper floors melted by some strange greenish liquid.
"To think I would actually have to use a weapon. Such a pity."
The Hybrid muttered to himself as he took a stance, curving his left arm downwards and creating an entrance to his subspace within the arc.
Suddenly, his aura exploded outward, proliferating far faster than the speed of sound and blanketing everything within dozens of kilometres within a field of impenetrable darkness.
The stars of the night sky were blot out and the light of the moon lost its brightness.
Those caught within experienced a disorienting sensory deprivation, as sound was muffled and even spatial awareness was distorted in this ink-void veil.
Even the stronger Epic and Legendary realm existences had their perceptions limited to just a few metres away from them.
Within this darkness, Jamie's clear blue eyes shone with light as he dipped his hand into the patch of darkness that was his subspace's entrance and grabbed onto something.
He then pulled it out with his right hand, revealing its appearance to be a single long sword.
The sword had a hilt crafted from polished obsidian and a blade that seemed to be forged with an expanse of black mist, shimmering with an ethereal iridescence.
It resembled the swirling galaxies and nebulae that adorn the night sky, and the appearance of outer space itself.
Jamie pulled out this sword and held it overhead for a second, before swinging it down all in one swift motion whilst calling out its name.
|Galaxy Sword |
His swing released a slash of darkness that flew towards Hecragar, phasing through the giant's body and then disappearing afterwards.
And in that same swift motion, Jamie returned the sword to his subspace as if he was sheathing the blade, whilst simultaneously retracting the blanket of darkness covering the surroundings.
Once again, everyone regained their full perception of the surroundings, and they were met with the scene of Jamie standing still while facing Hecragar, the same scene they had seen before the sudden veil of obscurity covered them.
The glow in the silver-haired man's blue eyes dimmed and he heaved a deep sigh, before pulling out a blazer from his subspace and tossing it onto his shoulders, whilst using magic to slowly regenerate and reweave the threads on his torn shirt.
"Now then, where are those five younglings."
He muttered to himself as he expanded his spatial perception to cover a larger distance, scanning for the location of the Vampire quintet and discovering them relatively quickly.
"…w-wait!"
Just as he was about to fly away, the white-furred beast woman suddenly called out to him in a flustered manner, pointing to the giant still staring in his direction.
"…the monster. You haven't killed it yet."
"Hmm? That guy's already dead though."
Jamie tilted his head to the side as he spoke, flicking his fingers and creating a gust of wind that blew towards Hecragar's standing form, pushing it to fall backwards.
Mid-air, a thin black line appeared on the giant's body from the head down to crotch, and with that line as a divisor, the giant's body split into two not-so-equal halves which crashed onto the ground simultaneously.
**BOOMM!!
"Told Ya."
Jamie dismissed his level-up notifications and kicked off the ground, soaring into the sky and leaving behind the dumbfounded Legendries as he flew towards the direction of the five vampires who were exhausted after fighting hordes upon hordes of monsters.

Chapitre 39: Olivia
"Jamie…so cool."
Those words escaped the red lips of a beautiful young woman who was gazing at a certain silver-haired Hybrid with a dazed expression on her face.
As for what she was referring to as 'cool', it was none other than the scene of him using the 'Galaxy Sword' to slice the four-armed giant, Hecragar in two pieces.
Her being able to see the scene in the first place, meant she was unaffected by the void veil Jamie had put up moments before he took that action, and it certainly wasn't the Hybrid's will.
This woman was seated atop a small stool with her elbows propped up on her lap and her cheeks resting in her palms.
The location was the penthouse of a tall 120-floor skyscraper, the tallest building in the entirety of the city of Clurg, and one that was surprisingly still standing after all the chaos.
A few other people were in the room with her, but she had tuned them out and had her 110% attention on Jamie who was flying towards the Vampire quintet.
Her lips were slightly parted and one could see a pair of fangs peeking out from within, somehow giving her a winsome charm.
She had extremely long black hair that would stretch down to her knees when she stood, and she had it tied up in a nice French braid.
For her clothes, she wore a long black flowing double-layered dress ankle length dress and a pair of black stiletto heels.
Her legs were not too long, so it could be estimated that she was above average height.
As stated earlier, her facial features all came together nicely with her fair skin, making her look extremely beautiful.
The feature of hers that attracted the most attention, however, was her heterochromatic pair of eyes.
Her left iris was a mesmerizing shade of red, similar to the colour of blood but not quite the same.
The right one was a clear blue colour, mirroring the same shade as that of the skies.
Both her pupils were a relatively normal obsidian black shade.
"Urghh!"
A sudden grunt of pain rang out from below, pulling the woman out of her starry-eyed daze and turning her attention back to the person who was underneath her feet.
By the time her gaze had reached the person, it had turned cold, the complete opposite of how it was mere seconds ago.
The person at her feet was a man, with regular brown hair and dressed in a torn, tieless black suit.
His skin was cold pale, his expression was dark and he seemed to be falling in and out of consciousness.
One could not blame him considering his current circumstances.
The average human had about 5 litres of blood in their body, and draining out from his neck in the form of a stream that flowed up to a red ball of crimson liquid floating in the air, was half of that amount.
If he wasn't a Sovereign Realm existence, he would have already gone into shock, or probably would have been in a far worse state, after all, his energy was draining out along with his blood.
Jamie was wondering why the Sovereign Realm existence he had sensed earlier did not do a thing, but it was not that he didn't want to, but that he could not as the poor man had been like this for the past few hours.
"You could at least try to keep up appearances in front of your subordinates, don't you think, Olivia?"
Another voice rang out from behind her, prompting the woman to turn her gaze behind her, locking eyes with another casually dressed man who walked out of one of the other rooms in the penthouse.
Her gaze moved over to the three people following right behind him, and then to the other three standing not too far from where she was sitting.
"It's no use at this stage. We all know how hopeless she becomes when a certain Hybrid enters the equation."
One of the three near her, an elf, spoke up, prompting the other two to nod repeatedly in affirmation.
The other man only sighed softly as he walked up to 'Olivia' and tossed the cube in his hand to her.
"Be careful, you know how perceptive Jamie is.
He also caught onto your presence earlier, too."
The man spoke as he stood beside her, completely ignoring the existence of the poor Sovereign on the floor whilst gazing at the bifurcated corpse of the dead giant.
But his words served to confirm the guess that Jamie had made when he first met the white-haired beast woman after saving the adventurers who detailed the city's situation to him.
The familiar aura he had sensed, belonged to the person he thought it had.
This woman who was called 'Olivia' and the 'Olivia' Jamie knew, were one and the same.
While the man beside her, was her elder brother, John.
He was quite tall, dressed in a simple pair of black jeans and a brown t-shirt. Like his sister, he had heterochromatic eyes, but unlike hers, the colour combination was a bit different.
While her left eye was a mesmerizing red, his was a darker amber colour. His right eye was also blue like hers though.
Anyway, the two siblings certainly had a hand in the events that led to Clurg's dungeon break. As for the reason; frankly, it was irrelevant.
They had come for something they believed was in the possession of the Sovereign existence on the floor, who had refused to give them that item.
From the current situation and the fact that the room around them was wrecked all over, one can summarise what happened next.
"Still, to think we would run into Jamie of all people here. What a coincidence."
The man rubbed his small stubble as he spoke, the energy of the law of fate swirling around him as he checked to see if anyone had 'arranged' this meeting between them.
He dispersed the energy after confirming everything was normal and then turned to his sister who had ignored the box he tossed to her and was now using a farsight spell to watch Jamie who was now tossing Hecragar's corpse into his subspace.
"Stop stalking your crush with your eyes and check that thing out."
John ruffled her hair as he spoke and even moved in front of her to block her line of sight to the blue-haired Hybrid.
That was a bit of a timed save if she had stared at Jamie a second more, the Hybrid would have been able to narrow down their exact location to this penthouse.
He had long sensed Olivia's gaze on him, after all.
"I already did. It's the 'key' we're after."
"You sure?"
"110%."
