Chapter 130: Way Of The Augmented [2]

Within a small and suffocating room where two individuals would give it their all at their opposition, lies a mentor and his disciple. A master that was viewed to have no flaw in his techniques, a perfectly calculated strike accompanied by a disciple that wasn’t even worth being laid an eye on. Nor be showered with praises for an individual that was close to the brink of death with every sparring session the two would initiate

“Broken ribs, fractured arm, and one sprained leg? Wow!!? I didn’t expect that you’ll reach this point where you attained fewer casualties within your body. Looks like you’re understanding the concept of our daily spar. It’s to develop a deeper understanding of your vessel, no matter how strong a martial artist can be they can’t afford to lose their body,” Genis poured out his chi within his disciple’s broken body parts. That instantly healed his body without any traces of his previous injuries

“You lousy teacher, you can’t even teach me one of your moves you beat me every day for your entertainment and I only receive a deeper meaning of chi circulation. It’s pretty good, to say the least, but the fact that you’re not even teaching me a single technique of yours is simply unacceptable,” He replied to his master’s wise and profound words with his complaints for not teaching his disciple his sacred arts

’Why the hell did I even accept this ass hole’s proposal in the first place extra contribution points my ass!! I can’t even get a single skill nor a powerful technique to acquire from his teachings this guy isn’t even worth my time,’

“You’re simply too weak,” Genis replied to his complaints with a simple answer that anyone could have given him

“What do you think this training is all about? I’m tampering with my body, im training it to its core so I can handle your techniq~”

“No matter what you do with that body of yours it’s too weak for it to handle the shadow institutions’ technique. It requires talent, calculations, and full control over one’s body those factors can’t be seen within your body. If a weakling like you were to even try the easiest step you would’ve already been dead,”

Even with his discouraging words that pierce through Morris’s ego he never once glared at him like anyone would see him as another trash in his world. Even going so far as to personally train him even though he was called weak, he was given a few tips along with Genis’s support. Making him believe that even someone as weak as him could walk when he lived his whole life crawling like an infant

“Martial arts isn’t about strength kiddo, it’s an art where a person would release their force after it was enhanced by their footwork or injection with their chi. I’m telling you this since your an idiot that does not know this area, that the reason why I prevented you from becoming the disciple of the leader is to allow you to acquire a better solution,”

“Then what are you going to teach me?” His rage would disappear after he was given an explanation

“Instead of the shadow institutions technique, I’ll teach you my very own interchangeable technique that will change once it’s passed down for generations to come. It has no unique form, only a technique that only has power if you come up with something to combine this with then maybe you’ll acquire a pretty broken combination,” Within their short break, the two of them continued with their training after he was promised to acquire a teaching that would’ve given a weakling an upper hand

[Remembrance: The chosen memory of the player has been concluded, you’ve remembered every memory within that chosen memory]

“Once I’ve reached a certain physique I can only fully learn the last step of his technique. Guess he wasn’t a lying prick, every technique I’ve used so far didn’t restrict my movements. Heck, I even got a lot of experience using it, a situational technique that changes its form to match the wielder?” After he fully acknowledges his master’s teachings that made one of his skills change

[System: You’ve taken the teachings of Genis Cromwell to your heart. The skill Martial arts has been changed to the newly formed skill Interchangeable Cromwell arts]

[What are you waiting for we don’t have a lot of time on our hands. Don’t tell me your forgetting the fact that this place is located in the opposite direction from the trials?]

Crouching on top of a rock at the edge of a gorge that would lead him to the nest he waited for every infant to arrive at their homes. Before he continues the slaughter that he made along the way that would’ve caught the attention of the others. That will cause them to panic and return to their homes after they saw one of their most powerful siblings that had the most durable shell. We’re to be seen as a lump of shattered meat that was burnt which made a horrible smell that threatened the lives of their kin

“It’s about time that I make my debut after a long time has passed,” Bearing his mask for the last time before he makes a new identity for himself. Morris’s popularity is the root cause of his most recent problem whether he was seen as a target, a killer wouldn’t draw a lot of attention to their side only to kill an imitation

[System: Monk with a thousand arms is watching you, King of all dragons is watching you, Killer of the nine-headed serpent is watching you. The one-eyed father is watching you, Primate with a golden band is watching you, The one who rules the sea is watching you, etc]

Many deities would have heard of his name by his feat of becoming one of the well-known players in both the celestial planes. Alongside the world below that was filled with countless trials, many well-known names would come to see this contractor. By far he was the most overjoyed to have seen countless deities that had taken an interest in him, even with all of that he didn’t stray from his goal. After he concluded that every monster that arrived back in their homes have made its way to the center, he finally made his move

“Manipulate my surroundings, reshape my terrain grant me the power to control the environment. Turn every stone into ice, make them obey my every command appear before me, greater casting glacial array!” Pouring his mana throughout the entirety of the cold and suffocating cave. He could analyze his surroundings using the mana he injected into the ice

Granting him the ability to see every hole and every tunnel created by his foe making their escape from his clutches. Will not be found at any corner within the cave every hole was filled with ice, and any fragile area was strengthened to its core. Leaving them stuck within these walls he created with his own two hands, he jumped from the top and landed on a scorrfrione infant that died after it broke his fall. Wielding his mask alongside a few distinctive gears that suffered with his usual equipment, he walks into the nest where it would later be his battlefield with his foe

*Kieeek*

Unable to comprehend their current situation, most of their kin were murdered in cold blood. They weren’t even spared without any hint of mercy on their killer’s face, that knows what may occur to his existence if he ever slips even once. These monsters were known for their durable shell along with their coordinated attacks that showered their opponents with their countless icicles. That was rumored to even pierce a player that focused all of their stats on defense and hp

[System: The player Christopher Morris has activated the skill Interchangeable Cromwell arts. Granting the player access to many different types of interchangeable fighting styles placed within the skill]

Raining from the top of the cave were the spikes that came from his opponent that made him dodge and stopped his advancement. Apart from the ones that came from the top, there were a few that came from the side that trapped him in a never-ending process of countering their attack. In their attempt on subduing their foe, he replied by turning his staff into a huge sword that was bigger than his body

“Interchangeable Cromwell arts, Almighty swing!” With his limited time with the npc that he deemed to be his master. Only thought him the basics of both weaponry and the art of using one’s bare hands to conquer one’s opposition. Without any talent, he only learned the fighting styles without any method to enhance their power and yet he was able to make it work

[System: You’re injecting a small portion of both chi/ mana into your body. Your stability has now been restored along with gaining a little boost within your strength]

Taking a step forward he swings his comically huge sword with a technique to knock off the foe for it to connect another attack. Was used as a means of deflecting every attack with the force of its swing. Which sends its back to where it came from before they were showered with his own set of attacks. He thought that attack combined attack he made would be enough for it to annihilate his opponents. Only for a voice that came out of nowhere, to warn him of his immediate hurdle to come alongside a message that made him curious about its identity

“You are the one? Weaker than your predecessor, and to think they’ll give this role to a weakling is completely absurd. Very well it seems to be that you are the one that im looking for, a glitch never happens before I try to detect anyone else. Consider this my first attack!!?” With the disappearance of the voice within his head, the monsters he attacked came from the smoke. We’re not even fazed by his attack along with a change within their characteristics. A black and murky aura envelopes their bodies, along with the awakening of the scorrfrione queen

([Rewrite system: Anomaly detected your surroundings along with its inhabitants are being influenced by an unknown power
