Kirin's power

Something familiar, but I can't remember. Think head! And wow, it worked, I remembered this. They want to send me into the world to the Allmight!

- "Absolutely true, but before that we are going to awaken the power sleeping at the bottom of your soul, which would wake up themselves, after a couple of rebirths, but we cannot wait that long." - Meanwhile, the angel continued calmly.

There's only one thing I don't understand: can't they do everything themselves if they're so cool?

- "Nope, we can't, it's not our rank to run around with all sorts of children. We are like big bosses monitoring a whole chain of worlds, so we have to look for executors." – The demon explained lazily.

- "Now, if you ran out of questions, let me continue." – The interrupted angel spoke, this is truly angelic patience. – "As my friend correctly noted, we sit too high, so our arrival could lead to cataclysms. Especially if there is not a strong enough God there who will not allow the excess of our power to harm reality."

-"Let's move on to the task. You will have to disable All for One. No, think with your own head, he could not, with the help of one ability, "drain" others for his own strengthening. He has such a quirk, but he was able to achieve such monstrous proportions only with the help of an artifact, which you must take. But that's not all, and there's no need to roll your eyes here! You will have to not destroy the world itself. You can even use knowledge of the future and pick up the artifact after the final battle. But how you do it is your business. I don't have to tell you everything."

It's creepy when your thoughts are read - it's truly creepy. I don't even have time to open my mouth, and he's already answering. In my opinion, a really useful and scary ability at the same time. Hmm, what did they say about my power?

- "Hehe, that's my job now" – The demon said with a grin.

Something doesn't feel good to me, maybe he can beg for bonuses from the kind, fair-haired guy, otherwise the grin on this monster's face makes me tremble.

- "Oh no, it won't work out, my dear. The essence of Kirin sleeps within you - this is such a spirit, with maximum development it can compete with some gods. There is only one small "but": you will need several rebirths to awaken this power yourself. And it takes about a thousand years to develop, hehe. But it's okay, we'll awaken the beast in you, ha!"

-"Not funny,"- I thought, looking at the grinning, red face.

- "I will awaken your powers, but you will develop yourself. Although you can receive an increase in strength as a reward for completed missions.

A Kirin at the peak of his powers is a formidable opponent for any creature. No, for us he is also nothing more than an annoying bug, so don't even dream about it, he won't be able to kick anyone's ass. Haha, don't turn so pale, I've already calmed down, so consider me kind. Well, will you allow me to awaken his soul?" – turning to the angel, he asked.

-"Hey, what about asking me?"

- "You are considered light enough to be in my prerogative, so without my permission, nothing will work out for my "colleague". And you won't refuse, we already know this, just as you know it, so why ask empty questions? "– The four-winged one answered me. And as you guessed, I want to take part in all this. Leave the ordinary behind.

Having received permission, the demon immediately threw a bunch of energy at me, a horn appeared and lightning ran through my body! Also, the hair on my head has changed color to yellow and looks good. True, I don't feel any special changes in myself, but I think I'll notice it later.

- "Look in your memory, now you have a section there explaining your kirin power and cultivation methods. It's better to try it all here. - The demon was laughing. – For the record, this section cannot be changed or deleted and you will not be able to forget everything that is in it, no matter what you do. Cool, isn't it?"

Um, is he the one asking for praise now? I don't even know what to do in such situations. Okay, let's pretend that I didn't notice anything and start looking at what I bought there.

After testing out my new skills, I couldn't contain my joy. I can control lightning. I was also pleased with the strengthened reflexes, though not much, and the speed, and the heightened perception. Then some fighting techniques appeared that would gradually become part of my reflexes, only they were focused on hand-to-hand combat and the use of lightning, using them as weapons or defenses that cannot be penetrated by physical power.

Having asked permission to test at least some of the skills, I received permission to practice for half an hour in this room.

-"You can't break anything anyway, it's not your level," - the redskin muttered.

I started trying the combat component because it attracted me the most, and my body couldn't afford any stress before. After waving my arms and legs for about ten minutes, I seemed to calm down and moved on to the lightning. Everything about them was quite interesting.

It turns out that Kirin is a specialist in this section, and they can create surprisingly strong lightning, although mine will be a little worse, but I have everything ahead of me.

They are also immune to lightning, and in "my" memory there was an interesting technique called a "clone" - the user creates his own material illusion at the same time going into invisibility, or rather simply accelerating, but that's not the point, but the fact that The skill can easily work even on small gods.

Returning to technique, I was disappointed. To use this skill properly, you need to become stronger. At my current level of development, something like this will not last very long.

- "Have you played enough?" – The angel asked me after half an hour. I was even embarrassed. After all, from the outside, especially for such creatures, all my tricks looked like the games of a small child...

-"Well, I think the instructions have been received," - having looked at the angel and received his affirmative nod, his antipode continued: - "the questions have been answered, so it's time for you to go on a mission."

He finished speaking. Before I could even open my mouth to new questions, the floor disappeared beneath me and I flew into a tunnel consisting of various shades of purple.

At the last moment, having already completely disappeared into the tunnel, I managed to notice a black and red spark creeping across the floor towards me from the side of the grinning demon.

""Apparently this evil creature has decided to do something."" – It flashed through my head, in a tunnel with a spark flying into my chest and losing consciousness in this confusion of colors.
