Chapter 91: I'll Give You the Freedom You Desire!

Alex, seething with anger as his would-be assassin dies without offering any recompense, grips his [Sword of Pluto]. He never even got the chance to use it against Mustrano in battle. He plunges the blade directly into Mustrano's heart, rage fueling his words. "You want freedom? You want to leave? AT LEAST GIVE ME A SKILL! YOU OWE ME THAT MUCH! YOU HEAR ME?!" he shouts, driving the sword in deeper.

[ERROR - REMNANT SOUL DETECTED]
[WARNING: LEARNING THIS SKILL COULD LEAD TO UNEXPECTED RESULTS]
[DOES PLAYER STILL WANT TO LEARN THE SKILL?]

"Yes!" Alex snarls, unphased by the ominous warnings. "Remnant Soul? Come along, then, and I'll give you the freedom you desire! You nearly killed me; now you're going to protect me and slaughter my enemies!"

Suddenly, Alex feels something foreign searing into his left wrist, settling directly over his arteries. A new skill is taking shape, but it's more than that, something has permanently invaded him. A tiny, black claw manifests just under his skin like a tattoo, dark and sinister with faint green lines threading through it. He realizes that this skill isn't one he can simply "unlearn." Curious, he reads the description.

Note 2: [ERROR] HUMAN! You are taking me with you to travel to different worldssss? HEEEE HEEEE HEEEE I WILL KILL ANYONE YOU WANT ME TO!!! I AM FINALLY FREE!!! I WILL FEASSST, I WILL CONSSSUME. I WILL GET SSSTRONGER!

Breathing heavily, Alex examines the claw mark on his wrist, feeling its power and Mustrano's lingering malice coursing through him. The last traces of Mustrano's dark essence are etched into this new ability.

Still severely injured, Alex decides to use his [Gotcha Pork Roast] to recover his HP, not wanting to risk encountering more enemies in his current state. As he makes his way to the bottom of the mountain, he spots a large boulder and decides to sit behind it, leaning back to recover in relative safety.
