A Soulsborne's Traveler System

Chapter 10: Departure

As I awoke by the bonfire, I felt a heavy weight get lifted from my chest. I had finally done it, I have killed the Asylum Demon! It took so long, it was so hard. I felt like laughing with relief as I just rested next to the bonfire enjoying my victory over my tormentor. While laying down and enjoying the frankly terrible weather I noticed a ton of unread notifications.

Wow, that's a lot to take in, isn't it? But at the same time, it's very reassuring, that this isn't a dream. I had actually beaten him and these are my proof. It seems I was worthy enough to be the chosen undead after all. Now the thing I am most curious about is the Deadman's Blow. After all, it said created not acquired.

___

< Deadmans Blow > (Active)

A technique created by the Deranged Hollow by utilizing multiple skills at once to push his body beyond its natural limits. Using this skill is highly likely to cause a multitude of injuries after its execution. Consumes extreme amounts of stamina

By pushing your body to its very limit you can unleash a devastating blow that all but guarantees a critical blow.

___

Wow, I didn't think my last desperate attack against him would result in an actual skill. But I am satisfied regardless. Though there is a part about it bugging me. The injury part of the skill means it cant be used regularly and I also remember the unbelievable pain of forcing out every last bit of strength out of your muscles. If I wasn't high on adrenalin in that fight I probably would have passed out before landing the skill.

I probably shouldn't delay any longer and actually see whatever else the Northern Undead Asylum has to offer now that I have beaten the Asylum Demon. I got up and walked toward the former Asylum Demons arena and When I got back in there I was greeted by an unexpected sight. The Asylum Demons corpse was still there lying on the floor as unlike the game it didn't simply turn into dust.

Deciding that there is no harm in getting more rewards for my achievement I stored his body away in my inventory. Afterward, I finally, after what seemed like an eternity made progress and walked through the metal doors I had been ignoring up until now. After passing through, they shut behind me. Past the door was yet another waterlogged room alike my gym except this one had a bonfire. Seeing no harm I lit the bonfire and then carried on my way through.
