His voice.
It was so gentle, so soft, filled with so much care that it was like two brothers finally reuniting with each other after countless years.
That was how the tone felt, and even for a minute, it rattled Nn.
But the memories of Quinn that newly appeared in his head only made his heart tighten within him.
"Exactly three weeks since you dug your cold fingers into my neck and snapped it off, before kicking my legs so hard that my bones shattered, leaving me alone in that pit to rot away."
"How can you have forgotten?" Nn said with a grin as his left hand slowly moved to the side, and then a ming red chain appeared.
It was thick and heavy, brimming with otherworldly crimson mes that visibly heated the air around it.
CLING!
The sound of something smashing hard into something resonated as Nn wrapped the chain around the end of his dagger.
Slowly, he began rotating the chain, causing the dagger to spin in a circr motion around his body.
"You seem to be doing much better than thest time I saw you though, much stronger, huh?" Quinn said, narrowing his eyes as he looked at Nn.
Ever since he could remember, Nn had always possessed a single ability, which was his rusty dagger.
But now, not only was the dagger incredibly sharp and oozing with dangerous mes, there was also another set of heavy crimson chains burning with mes within his palm.
It was clear that Nn had grown stronger, vastly stronger than before.
"Have you grown strong enough to be a challenge to me though?" Quinn asked out loud with an intriguing expression.
Nn''s whirling chains stopped with the dagger held in his hands, the chains coiling around his arms.
"Why don''t we find out?"
[Main Quest Issued]
[Survive The Enroachment of the Shadow Ones...]
[Rewards: ???]
The notification panel appeared flickering before Nn, whose grin slowly turned into an irritated expression.
"Survive?"
"Kill him!!!"
The order came from Quinn, and instantly, darkness spread through the hall as dozens of figures seemed to be nothing but shadowy entities that rapidly advanced toward Nn.
His irritated expression slowly reced disbelief and then a dark chuckle.
"Survive!? You want me to survive!!!? Haha, you really want me to survive???"
Nn mumbled on and on like a madman, even as the shadowy entities rapidly closed in on him.
"EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN THIS ROOM WILL DIEEE!!!!!" The beastly roar boomed throughout the hall as thousands of green-colored veins wriggled out all over Nn''s body, and horrific-looking runes appeared all over his skin.
RRRIIIIIIIIIP!
BOOOOOOOOM!
The ground where Nn stood caved in from a sudden power release.
In the next instant, a gigantic line formed from some sort of shadowy de appeared where he was, cleaving the ground into two, as a robed shadowy figure appeared where Nn formerly stood with a dark sword in his hands.
But in the next instant, his face changed when he felt a rustle from behind him, and before he could react, a chain wrapped around his neck, followed by him being whisked off his feet and thrown into the sky with a flick.
"DIIIIIE!"
"DIIIIIE!"
"DIIIIIE!"
"DIIIIIE!"
"DIIIIIE!"
The screams rang out from above the shadowy figure as the sound of a dagger piercing through heads and meeting with soft tissue resounded with speed.
Quinn''s heart shook as he turned to look at the sky and saw Nn sitting on one of his own.
His hand was a blur due to how much he was moving them, and the daggers were stabbing repeatedly into the head of his own cult member until eventually, both of them mmed onto the ground in a cloud of dust, which soon cleared, and the remaining people all took a gasp in.
Right now, Nn stood, his dagger dripping with blood and brain matter, and below him was the dark-robed young man who now possessed nothing from his neck upwards, save for bone and dangling pieces of flesh, a ce where his head was supposed to be!
"He... he killed him!?" They whispered in shock as they looked at the young man whose heart had already stopped beating, a sign of him being dead already.
Nn, the meek-looking target they had yed around with for three years now, had kicked one of their own by repeatedly stabbing his head until nothing was left, and all life ceased from him.
CRACK!
CLINK!
The sound of shoulder and back bones cracking resounded as the heavy chains jiggled in Nn''s hand, and he slowly turned back to them before whispering...
"Every one of you..."
BOOOOOOM!
Instantly, the ground caved in from a monumental power as Nn shot off the ground, rapidly inching toward the gathered shadowy members.
In the next second, he explodes forth from the ground appearing above them before shing downward in a circr motion.
Two red beams immediately burst out from the dagger, ripping downwards towards the shadowy members who instantly dodged to the side, avoiding the dagger beams, but the horror only just started as Nn became a specter.
All he needed was a simple few seconds, and one of the shadowy members would fall to the ground dead!
"DIIIEEE!!"
A shadowy cult member roared out as he raised his hands, and a strange pir of darkness rose up from below Nn, brimming with otherworldly power and mming hard on him, causing him to get thrown up.
BLEEEEERGGHHH!
Blood burst out of Nn''s lips in midair instantly.
Yet his demonic smile only widened even more as his dagger revolved in his hand, and he cleaved downward, severing the pir into two.
Instantly, the chains wrapping around his arms were released, and he sent them carving and piercing forth with speed.
The cultist still didn''tprehend how his most powerful ability had been ripped apart so easily by Nn''s dagger, so he could only watch in horror as the dagger pierced through his neck, anchoring itself to his body.
Immediately, veins bulged all over Nn''s arms as he roughly jerked the chain backward, causing the cultist to fly toward him.
"DIIIIIEEEE!"
"DIIIIIEEEE!"
