Siva (Volume 2) The First Departure

Chapter 22: Awakening

Chapter 22

Awakening

He can sense their intents, where they are planning to hit him, where they are going for their attacks, and when they are going to attack…he can sense it all. It’s a wild thought, but ever since he was hit in the head by that masked organization member earlier, he had lost his sense of purpose and just wanted to bash anything in front of him that wore a mask.

But these two…

Seeing their faces, the bulky guy having a smile and the girl with the familiar face having a tensed, sad, and lonely expression paired with anger, Siva couldn’t say the right words to describe that warm feeling.

Again, he asked himself.

Is this that ‘something’ that awakened in me?

These two…

He could only say that he was happy that there are people like them who can stand his attacks more than once without actually dying.

Normal players only knows how to dodge twice, and three times for them was already too much. Once they had released a big attack, whether it connects or not, it will render them unable to recover and give him the chance to bash them good.

But these two…he’s been fighting with them for a time now and not only they were able to dodge and react from his attacks, they were also fighters of the highest caliber he had never fought before.

Before, he could only feel this kind of excitement in the face of danger, fighting monsters and aliens. 

Though so far, he only had ever fought those three armed aliens and the dog-looking blue skinned ones.

But these two…

They gave him satisfaction. That’s why when he had sensed that the large object behind them was going to crush them, he instinctively sensed that the cooldown was over and pushed them off to prolong the fight.

More.

He dearly wished.

More.

Lips formed a grin when the two poised to attack.

One last time, push me to my limits. Give that one thing I can’t seem to explain. Make me understand that feeling that was inside me. I need to fight…fight more.

“Hahahaha…”

Lowering his center of gravity, Siva used Air Jump to propel from his original position then used it again as he felt that his momentum had declined.

He used Cassius Clay’s original concept when he created the Dragunov. But the difference of the two is that since the material was from a Dragon, the number of possibilities from the properties of the material alone numbered a total of 193 possible designs with 193 different kinds of functions and Tech-Abilities.

But since most of those possible designs needed special kinds of materials like elemental stones or the use of those so called Weapon Enhancement Items that he wasn’t familiar, he settled himself on what he had.

Thus, since he was already used to the Air Shot, but is actually dissatisfied with the damage output, he then thought of another, much similar, but more dense kind of version for it. He got the idea from when he was in that death fight against the dragon. According to the Trader in Hagonoy, the dragon’s HP was still in the 50% area when it was tied and brought to him.

He was actually just lucky that whatever he did to the dragon had shaken its brain and paralyzed it, giving him the chance to tie him up good.

And yet he was already on his limit back then.
