The Walker Of Voids



They all looked at the menacing creature that stared at them the same way a wolf would look at its prey.

They couldn't really see it, but the 12 feet tall monster was grinning behind his tentacle beard. He had the most vicious grin on his face that would have made them all shiver.

Yet he concealed his killing intent well, yet his aura seemed almost almighty in front of theirs.

"Uhm... How do we exactly kill that thing?" Haley asked.

"We should run." One of the D ranks wept and turned around to run away, yet the moment he had gotten far from the group, the 12 feet tall monster disappeared. Only the third years, Luna, Jay, and Derek were able to see where he went. The rest simply saw him turn into a blur, while two of the D ranks didn't even see that.

The monster's hand suddenly plunged through the D-rank kid's chest before lifting him into the air, opening his maw wide and chomping his head off the rest of his body.

Everyone shivered at the scene, but that's when Alex moved.

"You're a mere half-step second commandment. We can kill him easily." Alex grinned and shot toward it with his blade in hand, swinging at the monster alongside the other third-year who sent out several arrows toward it.

Yet...

*BOOM*

The monster lifted its hand into the air and flung the D-rank kid toward the Alex.

The body moved so fast that Alex was forced to step back, his chest panting furiously as he watched his life flash before his eyes.

"Coward." A feminine voice sneered before ethereal chains suddenly sprouted from the ground and wrapped around the monster.

[Soul Chains]

The monster was instantly immobilized and began to let out roars of pain, yet the more he fought, the more the chains seemed to wrap around him.

The moment the chains had completely engulfed him, a figure stepped out of the shadows.

Luna, having somehow teleported behind the monster, appeared with her scythe in her hand, swinging it down at the monster with all the power she could muster.

However, when the monster saw this, he grinned, not that anyone else could see that.

However, they could see that he was no longer trashing in pain or even trying to leave the chains. He was completely still, his melody of screams dying in his throat.

They thought he had given up, but they were sorely mistaken.

As Luna swung her scythe, the monster let out a roar of pure energy, the power of which sent everyone back several meters as the ground shook and quaked.

Luna was also knocked back, yet she managed to keep her footing, her scythe still held in her hand.

The power of the monster had dissipated, but it was not gone. Somehow, the monster had nullified Luna's attack, allowing him to stand there, his eyes gleaming with a sinister light.

He had used the power of his roar to absorb Luna's attack and gave him enough time to break free from the chains that had bound him.

Everyone turned to run, but it was too late. The monster roared again, sending out a shockwave of energy that sent everyone flying.

Alex and the other third-year were the only ones who managed to keep their footing, and they immediately rushed forward to protect the others, yet it was no use. The monster had already managed to reach them, having shot past Luna and gone right for the weaker ones.

[Mind Scape]

Unlike the rest of the monsters, this one seemed to have a mind instead of simply doing everything on instinct.

So the moment Jay realized that he pushed his hands forward and closed his eyes while using one of his main abilities.

Suddenly, the monster found itself in a black landscape with nothing for miles except a black fog that made everything below Jay's waist close to invisible.

The only people inside the mindscape were him and the monster, and since that was the case, Jay could finally go all out without having the threat of people knowing the full extent of his abilities.

Despite what it seemed, the military academy was not a place of education. It was a place where political battles occurred every day, while mind battles happened every second of every day.

Everyone wanted to know each other's weaknesses and strengths to crush them in the future if the need arose.

So, now that they were alone, Jay raised his hand into the air and snapped his fingers.

[Mind Scape - Memory Alley]

Suddenly, the place went from a dark foggy abyss with no end in sight to a place filled with mountains and trees for as far as the eye could see.

Houses could be seen all over the landscape, yet each one symbolized a memory and a fraction of the monster's soul and mind. Without these houses, the monster would not be who he was, yet Jay didn't plan on destroying them since that would only make the monster mindless.

He planned on manipulating them.

Clapping his hands, Jay dismantled one of the houses and expanded them into the rest of the world.

On the other hand, the monster had charged forward with the intent to kill, yet when the place changed again, it quickly found itself in a dark cavern, watching a version of itself kneeling to an enormous tentacled creature that happened to be Cthulhu.

That version of itself slowly turned around, and when it did, it stared into the eyes of the real monster before hissing.

'Fourth commandment?' Jay was surprised by the monster's power, so he chose to stay as far away as possible from it. Even though this was technically a dream realm, inside this realm would be the same as making himself a vegetable.

*ROAR*

The memory monster roared and attacked the real one, and the fight was so one-sided that it felt like the entire thing had happened in the blink of an eye.

The memory monster, who was 2 commandments stronger than the real one, suddenly charged forward, turning into a blur and appearing in front of the original. However, due to being a lot older, the original was also a lot more experienced in the art of combat. Even though it didn't mean he would win against that monster, it did mean he wouldn't die immediately.

He managed to dodge the first attack, but the second one was much more powerful, and the monster was sent flying across the entire realm.

The monster howled in pain, yet his howl was quickly muffled as he landed in a pile of rubble.

Jay quickly decided to take this chance, so he clapped his hands again, and the rubble disappeared, taking the monster with it. However, before he could also disappear, a voice sounded throughout the entire realm, causing him to look back.l

"A dream weaver, huh." Cthulhu muttered.

"I must be in one of those mind scapes, right? I see. Your power is different though... You must be from quite far into the future, and by then, Unity will have sealed me away, meaning that I've awakened once more. How interesting. I'd kill you, but I know you'll leave this realm when you feel threatened, so how about an offer?" Cthulhu smiled, and even though Jay didn't trust the enormous monster, he didn't recognize it at Cthulhu either, so he didn't mind hearing it out.

"I'm listening..."

***

The entire dream realm disappeared, and the group was left dumbfounded when they saw the monster suddenly fall to the ground.

Everyone was speechless, not only because of the incredible strength displayed by the monster but also because of the sheer power Jay had just wielded.

They didn't really see what happened, but they did see that Jay had activated his ability, and in the next moment, the monster had dropped to the ground, alive but mostly brain-dead.

Or, at least, that would have been the case if the monster wasn't a monster...

Drool came out of its mouth as it slowly stood up, its piercing eyes looking toward the group while bloodlust shot out of its body, suddenly causing everyone except Luna, Jay, and the third years to completely freeze in place, unable to move.

The monster suddenly charged toward the group, yet when Alex tried to step forward and protect them, a pop sounded out of the creature's body before a gust of mana shot out in every direction.

It had just become a second-commandment monster at the start of the topaz stage. Yet, despite Alex being in the amethyst stage, the moment the monster's hand touched his blade, the blade simply shattered before a devastating punch shot him into the distance, crashing him into several trees before he hit a larger one and pat out a mouthful of blood.

The monster was moving instinctually, and at that moment, it saw only two threats on the battlefield, and it was running right toward them.

The third-year archer tried to jump back and shoot several arrows at the monster. Yet, it didn't even take the monster a second for it to appear right in front of the girl, taking her entire head into its hand and shooting through the forest while slamming her head into the ground, causing it to grind against the dirt and gravel.

Appearing in front of Alex in the blink of an eye, the monster grabbed him by the ankle and threw him in the other direction with all the power he could muster, slamming him through several trees again before smashing him into one of the D-ranks, instantly flattening them and turning them into a paste.

'R.I.P Elliot.' A man covered in shadows thought while clapping his hands in a prayer.

The monster sprouted its wings out of its back, flapping them to catapult itself into the air with the girl still in its hand before launching itself down at Alex, who was already looking have dead.

"Oi." A voice boomed before a wave of crushing killing intent swept the battlefield in every direction.

Everything froze in that moment as the monarchical killing intent forced all of them to kneel.

Haley, Derek, Jay, and the remaining D ranks all despaired at that moment.

The killing intent was more powerful than anything they had felt before, and the aura behind it made them feel like they were in front of a king, capable of killing them with the snap of its fingers.

Luna and the third years were the only ones trained to fight against killing intent, yet with two of them out of commission and Luna being significantly weaker than the monster, she froze as well but refused to kneel.

'So young, but she has a lot of resolve.' Lloyd thought before looking at the monster who had stopped charging at Alex.

"He's mine." Lloyd looked it in the eyes and raised his hand.
