Everyone Else Has a System

After swimming for a few minutes, I reached the island shore. The island was composed of various elemental parts.

There was a region with heavy snow, while another place filled with purely active volcanoes. There was a desert at one point and a waterfall on another. A forest. A den. Almost all types of elemental variation were found on this small island.

Currently, I was in a rocky area near the shore. It was quite a dead area with not even the wind blowing and not even a single being was visible in front of me.

Not wasting any time, I then moved towards the deeper parts of the island. After walking a kilometre, a lake came into my vision and, looking at a distance, a waterfall too existed in this region.

"We shall start now, shan't we?" I spoke as I moved into the lake one step at a time. Not even moments later, the water started circling around the lake's centre and a whirlpool formed in the area. It soon started expanding and a dragon's head flew out of the whirlpool and I jumped at a nearby rock to get a clear view.

Soon more and more heads of that dragon started appearing out of the lake and all of them started roaring at me in a loud voice as I observed it with a casual look.

"The 8 headed dragon? Or should I call it a Hydra? Well… who knows," I muttered as I took out my chained swords and began circulating its energy in mine, with my own energy flowing into the sword.

With the energy travelling from my body to the blades and back to my body, I felt connected to the blade. Then I took a fighting stance as I saw it proceeding to attack me.

-Dash! I first jumped at its head and cut it into pieces before moving to another..

-Slash!

-Slash!

-Slash!

-Booom!!!

I cut its three heads before its fourth head pushed me away from him. I flew towards the forest before hitting multiple trees, destroying the whole area in the process. After getting pushed back at least to the edge of the forest, I finally stopped before looking at it carefully.

It had already regenerated its two cut heads and was proceeding to heal the third one. Though before it could do so, I once again jumped towards it…

"Blood Sacrifice: Reaper's True Form!!" I spoke with my grin widening as I ran towards it at twice the speed of before. Though, sensing my powers increasing, it too started using most of its power as all 8 of its head shot 8 different energy beams at me.

'Hmmm… looks like I need to circle around to create a chance to attack,' I thought as I ran towards it before dashing sideways as soon as I believed its attack would come at me.

-BOOOM!!!!!

The whole area was burnt into ashes in an instant while I kept running around that monster. It too started turning its head at me slowly and slowly while it still kept throwing the beams at me. Hmmm… let's try something…

"Rejection Fragment: Reject all Incoming attacks within 5 metres of me," I muttered before feeling that I lost about 20% of my powers.

'Well, that wasn't much,' I thought as I changed my direction before running towards it at full speed.

Its attack came at me and while the surrounding area was torn into shreds, I kept moving towards it without receiving even a single scratch on my body.

Before the Hydra could realise, I had already reached it. And before it could even process what was going on…

"Reaper's Night: The Slash of the Night Crawler!!!!!" I shouted before spreading out a very thin but amplified energy out of my Deaths of Duality. The energy contained at least 25% of the energy I had and…

-SLASH!!!!!

I cut all the heads of the Hydra at once as it was still shooting the beams. The heads were cut off with the beams still coming out, and destroyed everything in its path, wherever the heads fell.

As for my slash, it went beyond the Hydra's body, into the mountain behind it, and much farther towards the high mountains, cutting them into pieces before finally stopping at the volcano region.

I saw the Hydra still alive, albeit barely, trying to regenerate its body. Not minding much, I jumped into the cut body of the Hydra from where it was regenerating itself and pierced it with my Deaths of Duality.

As if a thirst quenched man finding an oasis in a desert, the chains of duality began rapidly absorbing all the powers of the Hydra into them. Much faster than the Hydra can regenerate.

At a distance, I found a dozen or so flying monsters in the air as they were coming at me with anger in their eyes.

I could feel the ground rumbling as well, as more monsters were probably coming at me from the ground, too.

The flying beings became visible to me not that long after. They had bright features, with one of them burning as if the sun itself and the other one felt like it could freeze anything within its range. There were some around which the wind danced like crazy and some around which the rain was coming down incessantly.

The one on the ground looked like the very earth itself, with a part of it having rocks on its back.

'More are probably coming. If I am not wrong, there are a total of 24 of them on the entire island,' I thought as I observed all the monsters reaching closer and closer to me while I just kept observing them while absorbing one of their brethren in front of them.

This island… has a special name to it. Every region on this island has a ruler. A single entity watching over a specific region. Like this waterfall and this lake ruled over by the 8 headed dragon, there were more of them in different regions.

This island… they also call it… The Dragons' Nest.
