[Death Knell]

[The ultimate defensive Gawee Cart Arm that shoots concentrated beams of sound with pinpoint accuracy] Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

[Note: Death Knell is still in the testing phase, and its current output wasn't the limit.]

Death Knell was like the Lantern Bells in design and functions but vastly strong with added perks that can be explored.

It resembled a former Arabian Persian lantern, which has a small orb with a pointed tip connected with the actual cap of the lantern.

It has five sides made from the white vibrative material and six edges that connect the five sides, which seem to be made of the same material as the overall lantern.

But there were additional railings or handles at each edge that emitted force around the lantern to prevent the attack from reaching the white vibrative material of the five sides.

The downside of the lantern was the same shape and form as the upper side.

Death Knell stood on the pointed tip of the orb below.

And it was on a short cooldown!

Another reason why Seth left the cart was to attract attention which he did. ME 25 who's the cat called brat was also making it move in the shadows.

By attracting attention the Death Knell will have enough time for it to cool down in a few seconds.

The cart was pulled by the horses and they made a beeline to circulate where Seth was in the air.

The baby thumb-sized bee aimed at Seth and shot its stinger. Now Seth has to avoid the approaching menos but also defend against the Gawee Beasts' long-range attacks.

But he wasn't pressured by now, the moment he felt the Death Knell could shoot again, he managed to push himself away from the jumping menos.

Coincidentally, he moved away from the moving cart and he dropped down fast.

By now, both he and Menos were coming down.

Gravity laws still applied, but Meno's size and weight didn't aid it in touching the ground faster than Seth's.

Seth touched the ground first because the Menos was a bit higher due to its jumping, and Seth had already begun falling.

All he did was avoid the brute.

The moment he touched the ground, Seth used N'day Steps and dashed towards the cart, and the horses, too, ran toward him.

The Gawee Beast would have attacked him if not the moment the menos touched the ground it dashed toward Seth.

Seth wasn't looking at it but felt an ominous shadow reach him instantly. He had only taken three steps and with a speed skill.

Perhaps if he can use Illusory Shift, his speed might be fast enough, but he can't.

ME 25 was just 300 meters away from Seth, he was riding a Beast that specialized in speed.

All it wanted was to be close to Seth by 100 meters only for what it wanted to do.

The instant appearance of the menos above Seth triggers the staff to move.

The Menos might be mindless, but they were battle maniacs and had learned how to deal with the staff.

It has tried to grab it multiple times, and it managed to catch it on the fifth time. Only by becoming as small as needles did the staff escape its grasp.

And now, the staff expanded faster than the menos move, touched the ground and launched Seth away.

Seth's body breaks the sound barrier due to the speed the staff applied. The menos didn't follow but instead attacked the staff, enveloping it with aura, and infusing it inside.

That was to break its connection with Seth.

The Menos has learned well and it is learning more.

Seth wasn't shot into the sky but diagonally close to the ground, slightly away from the moving cart that had some beast attacking it.

On his hand was a Red Signature Book flipping.

He can't keep up with the speed as of now since Vela Aspecto was sealed to a degree but High Intelligence and Battle Might Attributes were high time working.

[Battle Might (Sealed)]

Effect 1: Acute Battle Perception

Effect 2: Acute Battle Instinct

Effect 3: Acute Battle Coordination

Effect 4: Acute Battle Arms Wield

Effect 5: Acute Battle Force

[Note: The general uprise Battle Might was sealed but internal effect can be used slightly]

___

His Battle Perception wasn't enough to keep up with the fight, but he still grasped things, and with Battle Instinct and Coordination, his plans became possible.

But Seth was terrified shitless. His mind and intuition were screaming danger and his life flashing at his eyes due to this stunt he was pulling, but he pushed forward.

Unique Quest will never be easy and the fact he will be sent out of the damn land completely if he finished it only told him he must dance with death.

One needs to understand that taking damage from Gawee Creatures was worse than damage from any creature outside Gawee.

Players have died at the hands of Gawee Beasts and Monsters, and then they die in real life, too.

Imagine him being crushed under the weight of the menos. He will die in the most miserable way imaginable in real life.

So, true and true, Seth was putting his life here, and true death hung in the corner.

But what makes him move forward without going crazy in fear?

In his Noble Class, he has Bravery, and with Pure White Stone Will, he pushes forward to achieve his goal.

The moment Seth felt the staff yanked from his hand he began his next plan.

He pulled out his Red Signature Book even as his body felt pressed by the pressure of sonic movement.

Thanks to Shifting Armour and his better use of Major Physique Force he wasn't affected much by the sonic speed.

All he focused his mind on was the Red Book that had come online before he walked out of the Gawee Cart.

The pages flipped and settled on Pharaoh's Whip.

A weight settled on his right shoulder and Seth used both hands to hold the book open.

In just short moments, the menos has fused its aura inside the staff and made it fall.

Even with its mighty strength, destroying the staff was incredibly tasking.

Then it moved toward Seth, leaving behind two booms of sound blast.

But before that, there was a roar from Seth!

"FIRE!"

Seth was still moving at high speed from the earlier throw, but to the massive Gawee Creature, he appeared stationary, and it came with the fury of the past annoyance.

Death Knell glowed but the Menos had seen that and tensed its body in case an impact came.

Humm!

A white beam of concentrated sound blast was released from Death, and it tore every weak physique of beasts and monsters in close vicinity.

But the beam didn't land on the menos but in a cluster of beasts.

This time, the attack wasn't just a strike but concentrated in an instant and then expanded, enveloping a 10-meter radius in its place of devastation.

While that was happening, the Menos attack was grazing Seth's body. The shifting armour was cracking, but ultimately, Seth's body was miraculously yanked back, escaping the direct blow.

"Hah!" Seth roared, his face was in terror, but there was excited madness within and tears that he didn't know they came out.
