Metallic Rogue

Test {III}

In a room with transparent walls which let both those inside and outside see through it, Jayden sat with his hands stroking his chin while thinking.

The Cyclops', Ustapians, Warborn Golem Centaurs, and some Beast Kins were speaking to themselves loudly, causing loud noises to spread everywhere, disrupting those who were focusing on something else and gaining their attention.

"What's going on Idrik." An extra tall Ustapian asked a group of Ustapians about the ruckus spreading around like wildfire. This Ustapian asking, had his golden hair tied in a ponytail with the tips having a barely noticeable silver color.

"This human just beat your record by thirty seconds." Idrik the Ustapian, replied with a bit of disgust talking about Jayden.

"Oh." The tall Ustapian replied with a bit of surprise. "That's nothing, he's just that good if he was able to beat my score by a large margin." He said with a smile plastered on his face. But deep down he was cursing angrily.

'THIS HUMANS! After what they did to everyone they still try to show themselves and try to prove who's the strongest of the alliance. GAME ON!!!, I will not be defeated by a mere human!!!'

The cyclops meanwhile were grinning from ear to ear like they just won a bet, they all had one single thought running through their minds.

'FINALLY!!!. A worthy opponent.'

The Warborn Golem Centaurs had the same look and thoughts as the Cyclops, being war loving and babaric races, they loved a challenge and were willing to trade anything just to get someone who was on their level to fight with, they were just like the students of the Fire Crackers House. They all acted as if they were on four doses of crack.

The Zanarians ignored the chatter, they were not beings to poke their noses in others businesses, they hated to be in the midst of this races because the Cyclops sometimes scared the shit out of them with their brute strength and loud cries, but if it wasn't for them wanting to join the Tournament for the rewards, they won't have entertained the thought of getting tested in this building with them.

Some Beast Kins watched in awe for a split second before returning back to their own test, some didn't even bother with Jayden and did their test before leaving the area.

Jayden ignorant of everything going on outside his room morphed his hand, it took him some seconds, but at the end, he got what he wanted. The races seing this, shushed themselves while watching in anticipation at what Jayden would do next.

Jayden's right hand had turned into a meter long barrel with a fourty centimetres wide mouth. Jayden pointed his hands at the large target in the distance while steadying his hand with his left hand to aim properly.

The target was a large dart board, but it was at least a hundred meters away with large obstacles thinning down the path.

Jayden had a thought in mind, he wanted to test his theory to see if what he wanted to do would work, and if it didn't then he should forget passing the test.

Jayden finished his aim and activated a skill.

[Energy Blast]

The barrel shook slightly and began to light up, Jayden waisted no time and began to also channel a tremendous amount of energy into the skill.

The skill [Energy Blast] only changed in name, it was still [Energy Blast] –a low leveled skill without the technique Mauve Fists added to it– so Jayden still had access to it.

He activated the skill for the first time in a long time, Jayden still rememberd the feeling of the skill flowing from his Intermediate Tier Energy Orb into his large arms, he smilled at that thought but soon refocused, he had other pressing matters to attend to.

Jayden continued to feed the skill Energy, the barrel was glowing with power, it trembled in his hands but Jayden used his strength to make it still and not loose his aim.

One minute went by and Jayden still didn't stop channeling energy. When he felt that he couldn't handle the vibrations any more, Jayden stopped channeling energy into it. He focused, and with great pressure, he discharged the energy.

With only one way out, the built up energy got propelled faster than the speed of sound through the opening, one second Jayden's arms was trembling, and the next second the energy was assaulting the target.

The whole room trembled violently with the transparent wall threatening to collapse, the barrel was releasing the energy beam in a straight line and destroying everything in its path.

Large visible waves of heat were being emitted from the beam and also pulsing rhythmically even around Jayden.

Jayden was sure of it, if anything was close to the beam, even if it wasn't making contact, it would be evaporated in mere seconds. He was lucky for the Energy Negation of the Rogue Suit, if not, he would have been cooked thoroughly and killed by his own defense that was supposed to protect him.

The beam lasted for ten seconds straight, nothing more nothing less.

Jayden lowered his hands and the barrel returned back to its original clawed arm shape.

Jayden sighed in satisfaction, his energy was almost depleted by that one attack, though he was happy that it worked, there will still be time to work on the attack and perfect it.

The target that was standing imposingly ahead of him previously was now just a large thin ring, the target that had a ten meter radius was left with just a measly ring that was still in the process of melting.

Jayden smiled, the large rocks, walls and different obstacles that were placed to make hitting the bulls eye harder were not spared from the attack, they were thoroughly destroyed with just a shadow of their previous selves left behind.

Outside of the room, there was something deafening that was heard.

Was it the shout and screams of bewildment and shock? No.

Silent chattering of the different Races? No.

It was something greater.

The deafening sound of Pin. Drop. Silence.

'I take back my words, HOW AM I MEANT TO FIGHT THIS BEAST IN HUMAN FORM?!!! He's a monster....

NO!!

....THE HUMAN RACE ARE ALL FUCKING MONSTERS!!!
