A Worshipers Ritual

The changes that occurred in his area brought him to his most recent dilemma, with each room he passes through holding up one similar characteristic that the others also possessed. A horde of monsters waiting for their prey to enter their nest whilst the rules of the Gateway was applied, sealing him within the room till one side was eradicated at the face of the world

[System: You've killed a monster the collected experience will now be given]

"It's a little strange to say this after I hardly felt anything from my arrival at this place. However, I can't be as foolish as a human being, let alone of my standing in the balance of the world. I can sense an Aura emanating with the same frequency as my own. Is it related to my power's disappearance, I'll only find the answer to my question if I opened this door," After his journey through the waves of monsters that he vanquished he met a familiar feeling within a particular door. That leads him to a room that was completely different from the rest, filled with the corpses of the humans that had their blood along with their organs until they were left as a pile of bones

'Missing organs, Hallowed corpse, it reeks the smell of a Ritual I wonder what kind of person would do such a thing without my permission. Summoning demons and such comes with a high price before one could even summon one they need to have my permission. Yet another question emerges from my curiosity, I can't explain why but this Ritual doesn't feel like it was forcefully made. Without my approval, this shouldn't have worked but I can feel it. Could I even call myself the Owner of my power with just three percent of what was left? A third party or more must have been granted my power due to my absence,'

[System: Your Dormant power is resonating to a certain frequency close to your current location]

Walking closer to the room illuminated with bright red color and in the center of it all, a horrifying scene for any human to have witnessed or experienced. Was simply brushed off without any care for the agonizing screams of the people getting their bodies torn apart by the Worshiper's summoned devils. They notice him without fail making their attention shift from the people they were killing to his location

'They're not even that strong, by their power I could guess that the summoner is a desperate human that had taken the Path Of Darkness. I can't even feel a ton of Mana within their bodies, they're equivalent to the monsters I've fought before I reached this place, I'm a little Impressed by their ability to freely move. Strong or not, this summoner isn't as easy as the ones I've faced before, knowing my current strength it'll be a hassle for me to deal with,'

After blocking his opponent's attack he felt his sword at its limits the sword that was once been used to slice down his foe was at its breaking point. Blunt and a ton of visible cracks emerge leaving him no choice but to use the blood that he stored within its hilt, forming a sword made from the blood of his victims, he pointed It to his opponent after being created. He painted the entirety of their battlefield in red, dashing forward and striking a critical blow, powerful his foe yet their foolish to simply charge at his location without any plans would meet their fate at the edge of his blade

[System: You've killed a monster, you didn't acquire any experience the monster is summoned by a player. You can't acquire any experience with the summoned creatures, but we never said anything about a player]

'What's this now, the System's getting cheeky all of a sudden. Perhaps it might've seen me as a power-hungry player, not that I care about its word of advice. Humans on the other hand get easily influenced by this sort of thing, I'm curious about this lowly trash that has the balls to use a power that's not befitting a mortal. That's something that I can't ignore, The Originator will personally descend and bring my judgment... Who's there? My sense can't be fooled I can feel a powerful Aura coming from the back of that rock,'

Taking a small step toward the edge of the rock he saw a few people that were lined up to be killed by the demons. Along with a familiar face that was standing in front of him pointing a Halberd in his direction prepared for the worst to come when the demons finally made their way back. Only to see a figure covered in blood she panicked all of a sudden till the light illuminated the shadows that engulfed his body, revealing his face as the player she once met before

'Mr. Shuu? He's alive? Wait, did he kill that demon that's impossible... There's no way it can't be there has to be a logical solution for all of this. There must be right or is he perhaps one of the Bearers Of Light?'

"Ms. Alex it's you... (Seeing their faces before me, and the demons that killed those people it seems that this was an attack. If so I need to have a friendly relationship with these people, I'm surprised that she was powerful due to her Mana she must've used a concealment artifact) I never thought I'd see you again after our last encounter with each other. Can you tell me the situation I was stuck inside the testing room before I met you," He let out a soothing tone along with a smile on his face, whilst he was wiping off the blood on his cheeks before he distance himself. Even with his good intentions, they were shocked by his appearance making him rethink his actions

"Calm down everyone, there's nothing to worry about in our current situation, this is Mr. Shuu Adachi, a newly registered player in the System. He isn't a threat and as you can see from his point of view he's just a player like the rest of us, trying his best to survive this sudden Outbreak that occurred," Alex was the first to be relieved after his arrival, even though she was scared at first glance. She was fairly a knowledgeable person in the Art of Combat her movement was precise, and her control was mediocre at best. Once she gazed at his fight she knew without any doubt in her mind was an expert that could easily escape on his own

'Most of these people aren't players only a few were brave enough to put their lives on the line for the safety of the people. Without a doubt, Mr. Shuu might become one of the most popular players if he escapes from this place, I can't let this opportunity be wasted. I need to recruit him to ensure our survival, I need to recruit him after we've escaped,'

Without any warnings, an attack was fired from their blind spot that resulted in the deaths of a ton of people who were caught up in the explosion. Their bodies were burnt, and some were crushed by the structures that fell from above, while a robed figure arrived out of nowhere. Wielding a black orb in his palms he summoned a horde of demons that preyed on the weak, during this time of catastrophe Shuu found himself teleported to a room with a perfect view of the entirety of the Ritual. Along with the appearance of the man he once saw that conjured the demons that were currently killing off the sacrifices he had gathered

"You... Why do you possess the power of a Villain? Are you perhaps a follower of a certain Villain? Why have you come to disturb my plans, do you want to perish that easily for all of the things you've done," Shadows would latch onto Shuu's body restraining his movements while the figure takes a closer look at his face. Only to meet a surprise attack that came out of nowhere, a trail of blood manifested itself on the floor that originated from Shuu's palms that broke the restraints upon his arrival

[System: Your Dormant power is resonating with the unknown player standing before you]

Spikes were created from the trail of blood and launched at their chosen target and were countered by the shadows that emerged from the figure's body. Without a single word on each side with only their actions that answered their motives, they continued to fight one another in hopes of becoming the victor. The shadows turned into a figure that has a mind of its own, launching itself to Shuu's location, its power was on another level compared with those devils he summoned. Making him gather all the blood to manifest a sword that he used as a means of countering its attacks

"Disappearing Void Step!" After he parried all of the blows that targeted his vitals and recovered his footing. He centered all of his Mana on his skill, with every step he takes he became one with his surroundings, disappearing at a certain point and reappearing to strike his foe at their most vulnerable spot. He repeated the process over and over striking the monster at its weak spot until its form was broken down by the slash of his blade. In the end, he met he was caught in a trap that was orchestrated by the figure, he purposely made his summon aggressively to the point where he could easily be forgotten as the fight continues

"Hahaha, what a pathetic way to die. You're nothing but a third-rate follower, how could you be a match with someone like me? I studied the Sacred Arts of the Villains till I live and breathe, do you think I'll be easily removed from the world with something like that? A pity you would've become a powerful player if you weren't stubborn enough to go against me," He laughed at the death of his opponent only to suffer an attack that came from his back. The attacks were pointed at his vitals along with sealing his Mana making him unable to cast not a single skill within his situation. The body that he struck was a mere copy of the original that was shrouded with his skill

"What a disappointment you are... You thought I wouldn't have anything like this in my hands? You're a fool that only knows is to kill his target you didn't even take to consider the possibility of its victory. Hence you have mistaken your judgment and fell into the depths of despair, clinging onto your final breaths hoping to survive this predicament," Shuu grabbed him by the neck and continue to cut his body apart by feeding him the blood he controls. Causing a reaction in his body where he was getting attacked in his most vulnerable spot, every organ, bone, and cell was attacked. Leaving him no time to rest until he finally meets his end at the hands of The Originator

'Villains? That's something that I haven't heard of are they related to my power? What's their goal in mind, what are their standings in this world? After my absence, I've been seeing a ton of anomalies occurring everywhere I go just what have you done to this world Liao Zhicheng,'
