Cursed by Randomness

Ch.75 [ Homey Homey ]

///

A day passed since the small meeting between the one's classified as Death Gods.

Now, William was sat in his home. Practicing few swings with help of his Marshal-Grade shadow, Igris.

[My King...] Igris spoke with a bit of depressed voice. As he was motioned to continue by his King. [I apologise but... the path of sword is unfit for you.]

The two stared at each other. One started being more and more nervous, while other shadows in William's shadow just stood silent. Tusk eating popcorn.

"Really? Continue." motioning to the shadow, he motioned for the other to give him some popcorn too.

On William's question. Igris started fiddling with his fingers like an embarrassed girl, who was just found out on having a crush on you.

[W-Well...] 

William stared at Igris intently. "Explain it."

[You... lack energy.]  said the shadow and looked away as if ready to receive backlash. Opening it's eyes, it still found William eating popcorn.

[What I mean is... that when someone uses a specific weapon. They generate kind of physical spectrum of 'uniquish' attributed mana. Allowing them to make stronger, better and more efficient kind of attacks...]

Raising his brow, William gently flicked his wrist as a scythe materialised itself out of purest darkness he could summon.

"So you can 'see' that energy?"

Earning a nod from the shadow, he got into a stance.

"Then tell me, is it hard work. Or can I use the scythe on and on?"

Finishing his sentence. He burst in speed towards Igris as he donned the greatsword and started getting ready to intercept it's King's attacks.

A slash from distance was first made by William as from the blade left a projectile in shape of a crescent moon which with blurringly high speed reached Igris as he rose his sword and intercepted the attack easily, destroying it in half.

Before he could notice, William was already 'bove Igris with his scythe carrying a heavy downward attack.

Igris with gust of telekinetic prowess slid the scythe's trajectory to side as he spun himself around. His greatsword releasing aggressive spuns of lightning which instantly hit into William.

As the foreign lightning was ravaging at its King. William directed his palm towards the still channeled lighting from Igris as it started being directed into his palm.

As the lightning was coursing around his body towards his palm. It started lessening in size, as William was actually absorbing it.

Taking a step to side. William's palms were now absorbing the purish white lightning from Igris's blade, while also coating him in non-magical reddish lightning with blackish insides of it.

Letting go of the scythe. He swiftly and with great motion made a swing towards Igris as a giant, single projectile of explosive lightning was released. Slamming right into Igris as the explosion forced William to fly and hit right into the wooden walls of his house.

"Fuck!" He said as the lightning was still progressively coursing through his palms, but slowly ceased.

'Any ideas?' William asked in his mind as he fell onto the couch right below him.

《Yeah. Remember the Conduit assimilation?》

Igris rose his sword ready to strike from distance as the blade started warping the space. As William motioned for him to stop, as he had stopped whatever attack he was readying.
