Bro, I'm not an Undead!

322 Unbreakable! (2)



(A/N: Bonus Chapter)

A fist with a mission hammered forward!

A punch with a lot of Regretful zeal thundered ahead!

A blunt attack with an enormous amount of power and force shot beyond with a sound akin to thunder, tearing through the air as it met the edge of the falling island!

The black-haired man grit his teeth as he put every ounce of the strength that was generated from his vibrant purple core into this one punch, hoping that he could prevent the total destruction of the entire city!

BOOOOOOOOOM!

Throughout the entire city beneath, everyone and everything was smashed into by a visible shockwave which held an atrocious force, emanating from the point of contact between the dark-haired man’s fist and the bottom edge of the massive descending construct!

It was as if gravity was suddenly in a bad mood , as all constructs without a structurally sound integrity were crumbled under the immense force!

A distance away, the beast that had been given the punch of its life watched with a bloody face as a massive shockwave descended from where the man had struck the island, into city and expanded outwards as it blew rubble and dust away!

Then…

….!

CRACK! BOOOM!!

A second noise erupted moments after as the massive island… broke apart!

Six large portions of the island were torn off as dark dust, rock and dirt flew even higher from the overbearing force, the pieces splitting off into different directions!

Mercenaries, Knights and civilians alike all looked up at this in awe as the power of a certain individual whose existence wasn’t exactly a secret in Inhone City was on full display!

Just moment ago, this same man had left their hands free of the many beasts that raced throughout the city and now…

Such a level of power…!

With naught but a punch!

The Guilds and Knights below fighting for their lives felt a rush of adrenaline as the hopeless situation didn’t seem so hopeless anymore.

With grit, sweat and a little bit of the sacred armour of legends (plot), perhaps they could pull through!.

Inhone could live to see another day!

For the trump card of the Capital Service, of Inhone City, was here!

A little late, but here nonetheless.

It was the one and only… Unbreakable!

The dark-haired man began falling, but on his face, one could see that he wasn’t happy at all.

As he looked at the entire thing above him which had even halted its descend as it broke off into six, he was sure that unless something was done, the City would still take immense damage when it inevitably began falling once again!

“Salvation brings… Peace…” the dark-haired man said to himself as he took in a deep breath.

At this point, it was clear that this man, was the same old man from the College of Battle Arts.

The same old man that Skullius had met on the day he had wished to get enrolled and when he had just finished his seven-day training with Oliviana.

The same old man who always emphasised his regret whenever he opened his mouth to speak.

He was a trump card offered to keep the city safe in very trying times, assigned to Inhone by the higher Authority in the Capital Service.

The man had lived for 83 years but he was still capable of fighting because of his technique which shakily treaded the boundary between Special and Super!

The Regret Technique.

This was a powerful technique that he had created when he was 67 years old, many years after finding out that he had made a grave mistake.

As he had monologued before to the Discount Human at the gate, he had ruined his life with his youthful zeal by doubting the Direction he was given by the Deities.

(A/N: Refer to Ch.154)

He had called them statues without sentience or omniscience as the Priests constantly declared and went on to power through with his own desires, ignoring his Direction that told of him being of a class not known for combat.

A Healer.

This class belonged to the Energy Forming category but the man in his younger years with boiling blood that sought to tear beasts apart had rejected this, spending his years adopting a Warrior’s training regime instead.

Over the years, he had earned himself a purple core because of the high quality of his mana, but…

That was the extent of it.

He failed to learn any proper technique in his lifetime as everything he learned seemed to simply evaporate after a day or two from his mind.

Even after decades, the only thing he managed to gain was the ability to punch and kick with subpar skill!

He had even been so unfortunate that the Tasks he received didn’t suit the class he had chosen for himself and thus, the height he had been able to reach in his life was the early Advancement Stage.

Such a treacherous fate he had brought for himself. One that had almost gotten him killed as the only reason he managed to survive up to his sixties was because he had cultivated a basic purple core.

As he felt his life fade to wastage by his own hand, he had dedicated himself to forging a Technique that at least allowed him to revert his body to its prime.

A technique that allowed him to use his purple core more efficiently, and in the process of forging this technique, the man shockingly achieved an incredible result that somewhat salvaged his life…

Unbreakable at the current moment, saw from the corner of his eye a flaring white light from the far distance shoot in his direction with a horrifying as he fell!

Its milky white glow gave a false pretence of a harmlessness but he could effectively sense the destructive power imbedded within it!

Yet, even in the face of this attack, he didn’t guard or feel any sense of impending doom as the ray of energy smashed into his torso!

The air was blown away by the horrendous power, some chunks of island which had been nearby being obliterated into fine dust!

The beast which had launched this attack with its staff huffed as this time, it didn’t prematurely celebrate, learning from earlier events.

Surely, it narrowed its eyes as it saw an unbelievable sight.

Unbreakable resumed his descent without so much as a scratch on his body!

Something that had taken Terian his Genuine Incarnation to deflect, Unbreakable had blocked it with his bare body devoid of any enhancements!

Learning the nature of this white beam would make this feat even more ridiculous as the truth behind the Regret Technique was revealed!

When Unbreakable had successfully forged this Technique after decades of work, he had found that when he would chant the mandatory words to regress into his youthful body, the purple core would spill its highly condensed mana into him, giving him a ridiculously sturdy body that had NEVER been injured before!

This was not normal at all as no one else achieved something like this with the same method.

The dark-haired man had thought that perhaps it was because of the blessing he had been given or perhaps it was a mocking depiction of what he had been meant to be… a Healer, but none of that mattered now.

With this incredibly powerful body, the man turned to using it for the greater purpose assigned by his superiors!

Unbreakable landed back on the ground and when he did, he was swarmed by hundreds of the tall, tentacled humanoids that raced towards him with incredible speeds, strategically arranging themselves as they flung their barbed tentacles at him!

Others sprayed the dark liquid from the tips of their slimy tentacles, the nasty ooze raining over Unbreakable’s skin while others leapt over and delivered deadly punches to his face and body!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Yet…

None of this, did anything at all.

The liquid did nothing to mutate Unbreakable’s body, the punches thrown at him turning into masses of broken flesh and bone as they struck him while the tentacles broke off without doing any damage!

Nothing!

Absolutely nothing at all!

The man suffered no damage at all!

Nothing even bruised the man’s perfectly toned body!

The octopus humanoids did not relent however as they seemed to not have the luxury of backing away even as they screamed in pain.

Unbreakable sucked in a breath and blew out a mana infused gust of vicious wind that flung the hordes of beasts away from him a spherical arc!

Immediately after, the dark-haired man clapped his hands with a shocking level of concentration as a visible distorted vibration shredded the nearest creatures into chunks while making the others that heard it spew blood from their orifices!

Two fifths of the beasts that surrounded him died instantly and Unbreakable stormed over to those that remained as with his bare hands, he mercilessly killed them all in a little more than ten seconds!

Blood rained in this gruesome massacre, the stern face of Unbreakable bearing retribution for all the humans that had fallen.

When the man was done, his vision darted over to the creature outside the city that was also staring at him with hateful eyes.

‘Its sturdy… I thought I gave it a good one. As expected. While my body is strong, I can’t output enough power to kill it in one shot without any more progression in my Stages…’ Unbreakable thought begrudgingly.

Furthermore, the split up pieces of the island were now gaining momentum from when he had punched them twenty seconds ago.

He didn’t have enough time to fly up and punch them all before they fell and this was his immediate concern as he looked over the city.

The dwindling population he saw as his wide senses supported his awareness stretched over the city, clutching onto the fear, anxiety and trepidation that saturated the city.

The sense that he had let everyone down gripped him but he didn’t allow it to overtake him as he had had enough regrets for one lifetime.

This Technique was supposed to be an atonement for his past mistakes!

He had to make the most of it!

Unbreakable began to race around the city as he spotted a building he could use to launch himself up to further de-size another one of the falling islands but…

Something appeared in the sky as he looked up.

Something dark… much like the grey mist that had been emitted by the octopus beast’s staff but with a more natural appearance!

It was a large collective swirl of dark clouds that coagulated over the dark sky in a tranquil yet menacing manner!

As the city darkened even further, many raised their heads once again as they saw the massive thunderclouds that started to glow with a bright blue flashes of light!

What now?!

Where did this cloud come fro?!

One particular individual who was beyond shocked by this phenomenon was Terian.

He hadn’t sensed it with his advanced senses, but had only seen the massive extra darkness it cast overhead which made him raise his head!

Even with this however, he still felt nothing from this thundercloud!

No massive influx of mana for the visible lightning that it carried within!

Nothing!

Then…

Without a sound, two large bolts of blue lightning as thick as an adult human shot from the thunderclouds with an eerie intensity that targeted nothing but the two largest free falling pieces of the island!

ZHRRRR!

The only sounds to resound out in a spectacular fashion were from the collision between the turbulent lightning bolts and the islands!

BOOOM!

The two falling pieces were mostly broken apart as with a peculiar recurring impact that continued to rupture the chunks of mass, one would find that two out of the six looming threats were swiftly taken care off!

…!

Terian trembled!

Only he realised that what he was seeing right now… wasn’t lightning!

It didn’t feel like lightning and it certainly didn’t act like it when he focused his senses upon it!

As he gawked at this scene, he saw something golden rise up into the sky at a quick speed as it hurtled towards the remaining falling masses!

“What…?” Terian said as he looked closer to see a gold adorned man with a long cape!

The old man had to do a double take to ensure that he was seeing this right!

What the hell was this?!

He then shifted his gaze to where this golden man had flown from and saw a scene that made him shudder for multiple reasons.

A tall figure donning a dark armour wrapped in chains sat over a large, terrifying beast as he looked up!

While he didn’t emit any presence to note, his appearance as he and his ‘steed’ stood over the torn down remnants of a building was nothing short of imposing…!
