I lost everything but my will

24 An Unexpected Turn

"Viper, you seem to have gotten the reputation for yourself but you can't even live up to that… You're just as trash as you were when I left and I here I was thinking you would've improved with the determined speech you gave after ruining the mission you still dare fail again, you can't get answers from a single slum rat… I didn't expect much but at least you should've been able to do this much," Mr. Daji said disappointed as he sat in his office with his hand on his face.

"With all due respect sir, mission ultra's failure wasn't entirely my failure, it wasn't even my fault. The failure you blame me for is something even you couldn't fix as high and mighty as you are… funnily enough I remember the look of fear on your face as he stared at you laughing," Lord Viper said with rage in his eyes and his whole body began emitting strong energy waves and his eyes turned completely black.

"A dog bares his teeth as his master, what a situation. I'll show you today why I'm your master and even in death you'll remember it," Mr. Daji said as staring coldly at Lord Viper smiling

"Complete absorption!" Lord viper said calmly activating the skill. Complete absorption allowed the user to absorb their servant completely, from everything they've learned to the energy they possess within them. Even if they get their main power from their master complete absorption individualizes them recognizes them as beings with their power, which means that Lord Viper's energy had doubled.

The crazy thing about this skill was that once done, the user would lose their energy servant for life, no matter what. It also had a massive backlash and would either result in the death of the user or in cases where the user was really strong a permanent reduction of the user's ability and energy level sometimes they might lose their energy forever

"I might die you bastard but I won't leave without at least grazing you," Lord Viper said furiously as he attacked Mr. Daji quickly appearing before him with a sword in hand aiming at his throat.

"Before a dog bites his master, he should at least have teeth," Mr. Daji said sighing as he gripped the blade and snapped it, in that split second he also landed 4 successive hits to his chest. Lord viper got smashed out of the building as he bled profusely enduring great pain.

"Well I'll give you that one… you managed to graze me, Is what I would've said if you put up a fight," Mr. Daji said laughing heartily before he heard a loud explosion coming from beneath as the building rumbled and sounds of glass shattering started happening consecutively.

"I told you I'd graze you, I never mentioned grazing your body," A figure said as he sped towards the slums covered in bruises and blood. It was obvious he was enduring great pain as he headed to his destination.

"Hunt down Viper, and when you find him kill him in the brutish way you can think of, he couldn't have died just like that and I'm very sure he's been planning this for a very long time. Viper you've done well, you don't deserve to die by my hands but you sure deserve a painful death," Mr. Daji said with rage in his eyes but with a calm smile on his face.

Soon enough news spread all over on the events that took place

-Few hours before this-

"You sure took your time didn't you," Amber said smiling.

"Well would you look at that, she's complaining. You get a major power boost and you're still complaining" Jena replied glaring at her.

"I'm not complaining I'm just stating a fact," Amber said laughing

"Whatever… So what were you guys up to while I was away, I hope he was of help" Jena asked amber

"We found these guys, got some info from them, did some training, talked for a while, and now here you are but it turns out these guys are more useful than we thought them to be. They'll come in handy and trustworthy and obedient. So I advise we give them a job, a bit of power and threaten them a bit. And yes he was pretty useful," Amber replied chuckling at the end

"Ok, that's nice. I'm guessing you heard her if you choose not to comply your deaths would be most certain I can assure you that," Jena said to the brothers before heading to a quiet place to keep meditating.

'Damn, she's scary. But somehow we have a job' Luka thought as a smirk soon appeared on his face

'That girl is the boss, how powerful must she be to be able to control such powerful people' Tyler thought admiring Jena

As everyone dispersed to do whatever it is they wanted James headed towards Jena, sat down beside her, and decided to also meditate.

A few hours later they all heard an explosion coming from far away and soon after James started screaming from great pain.

"Oh no! He's dead, the backlash is finally here. I've waited years for this day but never have I planned for this much pain, I must suffer for another man's mistake Ahhhhhhhh!" James said screaming as tears rolled down his eyes.

"System what can we do, will the pill work, will it at least do something!" Jena screamed angrily as she also started crying

Ding!! 'I advise the host to use her life energy to run through his body, the pill's efficacy will increase by a certain margin'

As soon as she heard those instructions Jena brought the pill from her ring and shoved the pill into James' mouth and poured her life energy at full force into his body

"You won't die, you just can't I won't allow it," Jena said crying still pouring the energy into his body.
