Chaos and Order - A Multiverse Fanfic

C36: Fighting a 4th-Floor Contestant - Mirror Dimension!

A few minutes before,

It was all a game of HP Regeneration Rate.

No matter when the prophecy would have come true, it didn't matter. If his HP wouldn't drop to 0 instantly, then his HP Regeneration Rate must overcome the depletion rate for him to survive.

Kai would have never followed Petyr, knowing this, if it weren't for the Titan's Buff given by the Skill - Relentless Love.

It wasn't just a buff. No. It was his lifeline.

A 5 point increment in Stamina meant not only a temporary higher value of HP but also meant a higher regeneration rate.

Then there was the magical flesh of Hippogriff he had stored in his MRB for exactly such emergencies. Combine all this with the Elementary Fear Manipulation, and even the loss of a corner of his head couldn't bring down Kai.

The rest was a struggle.

There was a dull metallic visorless spartan helmet over his head which shone dark bronze. A black-colored smooth mane crowned the helmet.

The Titan's helm had darkened Kai's facial features, making it impossible for an outsider to see his eyes, but even it couldn't hide the sheer amount of blood running down Kai's neck.

The Titan's Buff kept eating away his MP, and Kai kept stuffing blood and meat into his mouth as he walked away from the crime scene. Even then, Kai didn't forget to leave behind some blood to bait the attacker. There was murder in his eyes. And yes. Questions.

Kai felt an unprecedented strength coursing through his veins.

The only downside was... well, he was dying.

So he waited.

It was a bullet, Kai told himself, his sight lingering at the boundary of light and dark; life and death. It was a fucking bullet!

Kai had an inkling when he had seen the prophecy, but this new world had shown him too many weird things for him to think of only firearms like a simpleton. For all he cared, it could have been the work of an invisible person.

Gulp! Gulp!

Kai put the blood jar on his lips and drank as much as he could. More carrion went down his throat than he had hoped for.

The bullet had scratched the top of his head. If it was any other time before the buff, Kai would have died there and then. But the ugly wound had all but healed now.

The bronze helmet disappeared. Kai also felt the young Petyr inside him vanish then. But the task was done, and he was out of danger. The only thing that remained now was to let the HP and MP regenerate at their usual pace.

Kai hid in a corner, keeping himself in the shadows. He wanted to prey on his attacker's fear, enhancing his HP and MP Regeneration Rates.

It was then Kai thought he heard a noise.

Not a killer, Kai reflected. No killer would walk so loudly anywhere.

He switched between Misdreavus and Blue-tailed Boa Constrictor's Blood Essences.

Hisssss!

"Who's there?" a high-pitched voice demanded. "Sparrow, is it you? It's me. Cuckoo."

Cuckoo? Kai's slitted eyes narrowed.

He took out the sabers and slithered. Before attacking her, it was best to make her fear him.
