Chương 12: FULL POTENTIAL PART-1

[Sappharix Nation] [Aldenland town] [Awakening Platform]

The portal closed. People held their breath in awe and excitement.

The Butcher signaled his men to surround Lucas.

"A new Class, Hahaha," laughed Butcher holding his head, "You are coming with us, kid."

Lucas just stood there looking towards the closed portal without paying any heed to The Butcher.

Butcher's men began to close in on Lucas.

"Stop right there," an unknown voice interrupted them.

"Who dares to....?" Butcher looked towards the source of the sound. It was the Rosewarth Family Leader who stopped them from capturing Lucas.

"Lucas belongs to the Rosewarth Family," the Leader of the Rosewarth Family went up on the awakening platform and stood beside Lucas, "How dare you, Butcher?" a wave of killing intent came from the Leader.

"Lady Patricia, I just want to Lucas from outer harm," Butcher gave a sinister smile to Lady Patricia.

"Is that so?" Lady Patricia looked around the awakening platform, "You may go now. I will take over from here."

Both the Leader of the Rosewarth Family and the Butcher began to argue over Lucas.

[Crowd Conversation]

Loud noises came from the crowd. The revelation of a new Class Hero and reaction from the broken seal took them by surprise.

"Am I dreaming? a new class," someone from the crowd spoke.

"A Weapon Master, what do you think his ability is?" another one from the crowd asked his friend.

"You stupid, as the name suggested, he can use any weapon, probably," his friend replied.

"Only weapons," a Hero from the crowd spoke, "Is it that special than the Eons and the Legendary class?" he scoffed.

"Then what about the Limitless Class?" another hero spoke, "Even the man from the portal couldn't gauge his essence quality."

"That's right, don't try to belittle a kid out of jealousy," a woman from the crowd spoke in anger.

The crowd began to fight among themselves. Some spoke for Lucas, while others were against Lucas. The guards didn't even try to stop the fight. Their main focus was on the awakening platform.

[Awakening Platform]

Suddenly, a large number of fireballs exploded on the platform.

"Damn it, who...?" both Butcher and Lady Patricia screamed while putting up a barrier to defend themselves from the explosion.

"Lucas will be coming with us," a harsh voice came from the smoke after the explosion.

"Hahaha, and who are you supposed to be?" scoffed the Butcher.

The smoke and dust covered the whole area. Broken pieces of concrete flew everywhere. The crowd dispersed after seeing the large-scale explosion. The guards and the Heroes took up their stance to fight with the intruder.

"What's the rush?" the smoke resided and revealed the face of the intruder behind the explosion.

"Why not ask the kid for his opinion?" the intruder grinned.

"You, you are still alive?" Lady Patricia spoke in a shocked voice.

"Denzel Leonar, the lunatic of the Salvation cult," Butcher took his axe from his back, "Let me kill you, please just once, just once, hahaha" he laughed like a mad man.

"No one can stop us now," the Leader of the Salvation cult spoke while concentrating his essences, "He will lead us to our Salvation [ASH INFERENO]."

A large tornado of burning ash appeared on the awakening platform. The heat and poison ash rendered the guards and low-level Heroes useless. All they could do was retreat away from the awakening platform.

"Lucas hold on," Lord Rosewarth screamed while trying to find his way toward his son.

"Don't worry," Lady Evylin spoke in a calm voice, "This level of attack is useless against him," she pointed her finger at Lucas.

Lord Rosewarth looked carefully at his son. All the fire, ash, and broken concrete that flew towards Lucas turned into dust. And, just a dim hue of violet essence kept emerging from his body defending him.

"Alright, I will wait," Lord Rosewarth spoke in a sad tone and clenched his fists.

"Stay back, leave this cult maniac to us," Butcher shouted, "You like to play with fire," he swang his giant axe towards the tornado, "Let me show you what a real fire skill looks like, [FLAME WHIRLWIND]."

Butcher began to spin his giant axe and used his ability. His axe tore up the fire tornado in mere seconds.

The fight continued but, Lucas never moved an inch from the place where he stood.

The sound of the battle engulfed the awakening platform. The clashing of the essence, the destruction, and the conflict awakened certain emotions within Lucas.

Lucas looked around his surroundings. He was familiar with a situation like this. He experienced this kind of conflict in his past life when the portal of the demon realm first opened.

Some people denied the truth, while others accepted it but did nothing until it was too late. A large number of warriors fell that cursed day fighting for the survival of Humanity. The reason was simple, inner conflicts and greed.

People trusted the Heavenly Palace too much that they refused to believe the simple truth.

Lucas knew the reason behind every conflict, "Fear," he murmured.

"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, YOU GREEDY BASTARDS," Lucas shouted in a loud voice capturing every one attention.

[RELEASE FULL POTENTIAL] Lucas used his ability to make himself grow. Now he looked like a twenty-year-old man. His muscles changed. His hair became white with a green tint. His aura became like a seasoned Hero. Everyone was surprised to see his sudden growth.

"You wanted to fight so badly," Lucas's eyes began to glow with a violet hue.

A large amount of bloodlust and killing intent covered the large awakening platform.

The conflict and fight have awakened Lucas's buried rage and battle tendency.

"Let me join in the fun," Lucas began to walk towards the intruder and the Butcher.

"Stay back, kid," Lady Patricia tried to Lucas.

"Don't get in my way," Lucas grinned as if he was happy after a long time, "I won't allow you to waste my fun..."

Lady Patricia stumbled back as she saw rage and hate in Lucas's eyes. She never encountered anyone with so much hatred in her whole life.

"Join us, Lucas," Denzel Leonar spoke in a happy voice, "Become our Leader, lead us to salvation."

"Salvation?" Lucas began to gather his essence.

"But, I just want to fight, please entertain me don't die, please don't die," Lucas began to speak like a person who enjoys death and destruction.

Butcher jumped back as he saw Lucas's advancement.

"So, this is the power of a Limitless Class Weapon Master," Butcher yelled sensing a huge amount of energy coming from Lucas, "Show us more, show us your real strength."

"My full power, hahaha," Lucas laughed.

"Very well then... You have asked for it. Now survive if you can," Lucas screamed releasing a massive amount of violet energy.

Lucas gripped his fist, "[VOID PARADISE]."
