Reaper's Resurgence: A System Reset

Alexia

The entrance to the first Dimensional Block is rather full right now. With people entering it at a rapid pace, making it rather rough on the soldiers stationed there with guns having to check everyone who goes through. And I'm sure there are even more people who are simply ignoring the border stations and going through different locations on the walls with their own authority.

And while I could have easily done that, I'd rather not. Not right now at least.

I want to notify Lucas that I'm here so that I don't have to bother going to his city to tell him. Or going to the trouble of calling him.

Because calls are rather annoying, and I don't like them. It's just something about not being able to see the person I'm talking to in person.

So without further ado, I go ahead and teleport right above the crowd at the station before crossing my arms and looking down at them. And immediately finding the soldiers there all panicking at the sight of me until their commanding officers shout at them to calm down and actually move to apologize to me.

As expected. They were most likely given orders by Lucas about what to do if they saw me.

"Tell Lucas that I'm in the Block," I tell the officers, making them nod their heads without wasting a single moment. Then I nod once and teleport into the Block.

Leaving the officers and all of the people entering the Block startled at my sudden disappearance. But I don't really care about them.

What I do care about are the fights I rather quickly find after entering the Dimensional Block. Fights between System users and corrupted creatures. Ones that look just like the ones I've seen before and also different too.

Like their corruption is weaker or something.

Probably weakened by the System. That or they're just not the vanguard of the corruption that I saw fighting with the Architect in that trial.

Either way, I teleport closer to the forces fighting each other before transforming into my True Form. Because every last corrupted is considered a pseudo target from what Zal said. A target that doesn't really get me any rewards but lets me use my True Form on.

And the identify result I get from the corrupted confirms that, labeling them as pseudo targets.

After transforming into my True Form, letting a beacon strike down shining for all to see while giving away my rather obvious location, I raise my scythe into the air and begin creating bolts of quantum lightning in the sky. With dark purple clouds forming to host the lightning.

Then I lower my scythe towards the ground, sending the quantum lightning striking down to annihilate all of the corrupted creatures without so much as touching the regular users. Slaughtering all of the corrupted creatures with ease and getting me a rather nice amount of EXP.

Mostly because of the bonus I get from killing corrupted creatures.

Yep. This is the best place to go hunting for EXP.

I quietly whistle to myself as I slaughter corrupted creatures by the droves, occasionally teleporting off into the distance to go find more targets. All while the users down below show shock and fear at me.

But I ignore them. Because there's no reason to pay attention to them.

Unfortunately for me though, even with the EXP boost from being the Reaper of the Corrupted, these corrupted are still mostly at Tier 3, with the rare Tier 4. So I'm still not getting too much EXP from them.

It's just that it's far more EXP than what I would get from monsters anywhere else.

I let out a sigh as I continue raining lightning down from above. Just wondering when I'll be able to find a Tier 5 dungeon.

Probably never, but still.

I purse my lips as I kill corrupted creatures.

Actually, maybe. If I make some sort of announcement that I'm searching for Tier 5 dungeons, I might be able to get people to tell me right away if one appears. But that's still not all that likely.

After all, they're more likely to hog it for themselves.

The only way I can see that plan working is if I literally threatened every single power in the entire Dimensional Block dimension. Or grid, as it is pretty much set up as.

And threatening everyone probably wouldn't be a very good idea. Even if it would be rather interesting.

I blink at that thought before shaking my head.

Then I notice that my energy pool is starting to run low. So I finally stop blasting corrupted creatures and return to my regular form.

At which point I glance at the ground to find thousands upon thousands of users staring at me still.

Uh, okay then.

"Please just go back to your business," I comment out loud with a nod before beginning to teleport away towards the capital. Across the endless ocean and the occasional island that makes up the first Dimensional Block. Continue reading at empiren/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

It doesn't take long for me to leave the sight of those people, so whether they actually return to their business or not is beyond me.

Assuming they even have any business left after I slaughtered the corrupted creatures.

On another note, I probably killed off several tens of thousands of corrupted creatures and only got a single level from it. After using up most of my pool of soul.

Obviously not all of it, seeing as I'd be left rather open to attack if I did. But most of it.

A good 80% of it. Enough that I feel safe getting to Lucas's capital to recover.

And that is where I'm heading. Straight to his capital to recover after all that.

Then I can go back to slaughtering corrupted creatures again as I please.

I just wonder how long this is going to take me to reach the next level cap…

That thought makes me sigh again as I continue teleporting through the sky.
