The Life Hacker System - 16 Crimson Snow VS The Reaper Edited
After the test.
Emily checked Taka over to make sure he was alright. Worry never left her face until she found out for sure he was alright.
An hour passed.
Within the research institute.
In a secluded Dojo.
Two fighters were facing one another.
The air tense.
Their killing intents released.
The air cold, bitterly so.
With a nod, both of them drew their respective weapons.
One holding a Katana.
The other holding a combat knife.
With the drawing of weapons, a wind kicked up.
The wind was a combination of both fighters fighting intents.
One of the sword and one of the fist.
As their intents clashed the wind grew stronger.
The standoff continued with both of them trying to grasp the attacking advantage.
Both showed no weaknesses.
The scene of this fight was peculiar.
In any normal situation, many people would think the people fighting were teacher and student.
Obviously this was Snow and Taka.
Seeing them now though, they appeared as two warriors ready to kill. Despite this being a sparring match between the two, neither of them were taking it lightly especially Snow; Having faced some of the most dangerous people in the world, he was used to fighting deadly people but having the experience he did, he knew this fight with Taka would be far from easy. In fact, he had a strong feeling that if he wasn’t careful or he didn’t face Taka completely seriously, there would be a serious chance he could die.
On the other hand Taka was calm. Maybe due to his skill [Gamers mind] or due to his high-level fighting skills but all he could currently feel was excitement. The more excited he became the more of his aura he released, as Snow felt this he reciprocated. At this point they had released there aura’s to the point they had started to solidify.
Behind Snow a scene of blooded snow as it fell from the sky.
Behind Taka the silhouette of a reaper grew clearer and clearer.
Snow’s aura completely solidified. The scene of blooded snow falling was now joined by an ancient battlefield. Snow now appeared like an ancient warrior from a legend; a survivor of many a blood-curdling battle.
Taka’s aura continued to climb, as it did the silhouette of the reaper behind him solidified. By the time it became almost corporal it merged into Taka. With the merge came an even more frightening aura causing cold sweat to drip down Snows back. Though Snow was ready for it, the aura now released by Taka was something only the dead got to experience.
Taka realised he had released too much of his power, though it was less than ten percent. With just a miserly ten percent he could already crush Snow’s aura; you may be wondering how is it possible for Taka’s aura to overpower Snows? simple, the aura Taka possessed was a combination of all of his past and current experiences. Despite all of the good deeds Taka had done in his past life, there was a reason people called him the ‘Reaper’. Following this Taka began to restrain his aura this was only a spar after all and his aura wouldn’t help here.
His main purpose for this spar was to see how well he could fight against someone whose physical abilities were so much higher than his own. You may be wondering why Taka would do such a thing? Imagine playing a video game but your character in the game is invincible. To begin with, it would be a lot of fun but after some time had passed the game would become pointless and boring.
So the reason for this spar was to see how much he needed to improve, his level and attributes to evenly match Snow. That would at the very minimum be able to successfully defend himself against most people.
As Taka’s aura calmed, Snow prepared to fight again.
With fighting intents clashing again Taka attempted to rush Snow but as he did a notification from the system was heard.
[DING]
[Host is fighting a very powerful existence. Mission now available. Does the host wish to view the mission?]
[Y/N[
Without a second thought, Taka pressed yes.
[Host confirmed]
[Mission- Host needs to hold out against [The Crimson Snow] for a total of 5 minutes]
[Reward]
– 2000 experience points
-Unlock new system ability
–
Seeing the rewards Taka’s eyes nearly popped right out of his head. Excitement promising to overwhelm him. It was only when he stopped to think.
Before proceeding with the mission Taka remembered something from the novels he had read in his previous life, the fact that every mission comes with not only a reward but a punishment as well.
Clicking just below the rewards. The punishment section revealed itself.
[Punishment]
[If Host fails to complete his first mission, Host will be locked out of the system for 2 years without access to any of his skills or abilities]
The savageness the system showed shocked Taka.
‘Now this is how systems are supposed to be’
Though this took a while to explain it merely happened in the time it took someone to blink.
Without thinking twice Taka rushed Snow slicing down with his katana.
Snow dodged to the right and threw a swift kick toward Taka.
Taka could see the kick coming but his body didn’t move in time.
“BANG!!!!!”
Taka flew straight into the wall.
Groaning Taka sat up, blood trickling from his mouth. Clearly Snow wasn’t taking any chances after the display of his aura earlier.
Snow stood there confused.
‘Taka was supposed to be stronger than this.’
Completely forgetting Taka was only 10 years old.
Taka now knew how strong Snow was. Not wasting any time he added 15 attribute points to all of his attributes, not including his intelligence and luck.
With the sudden increase to his attribute points, power surged within Taka.
His strength alone had now exceeded 310 kilograms.
His speed exceeded 50 miles per hour.
With the increase in his health attribute came faster healing, soon he was back on his feet and stronger than ever.
Looking at Snow, Taka smirked and cracked his neck.
“Well if we’re warmed up can we get started?”
Hearing his comment Snow immediately attacks.
Kicking out the same way he did last time.
Expecting it to hit, Snow smirked in confidence.
But unlike last time Taka was prepared and a hell of a lot stronger.
Looking at the incoming kick Taka snorted and replied in kind with an identical kick.
This time it was Snow’s turn to take flying lessons straight into the wall.
“BANG!!!!!”
Snow groaned as he sat up. Seeming to repeat the same actions Taka had just make.
Concentrating on Taka, astonishment flashed behind Snow’s eyes, he knew Taka was strong but this was ridiculous.
Snow stood to wipe the blood off his lips.
“Kid, can’t you take it easy on an Oldman?”
“Uncle Snow I could say the same. If anyone saw you hit me just now, they would be screaming child abuse.”
They both chuckled. Regaining their respective fighting stances they both focused ready for their next clash.
From the last clash, Taka realised he hadn’t controlled his newly acquired strength enough breaking some of Snow’s ribs.
Time ticked by, between the time that the fight had started and now almost 3 minutes had passed. Though not much had happened in the fight both of them had to stop for a little while due to the impact with the wall. After all, they are only human.
With time running down Taka became excited he only needed to hold out for another 2 minutes and the mission was completed with the prospect in mind, he decided to actually fight Snow seriously.
The atmosphere grew tenser.
They both rushed at each other.
Sword and knife clashed.
Kicks thrown left and right.
Before long Snow landed a solid hit.
A punch right in the stomach of Taka.
Taka quickly responded with a vicious knee to the chin of Snow, making him withdraw toward the wall but Taka didn’t let up throwing a punch right at Snow’s head. With nowhere to go Snow could only dodge to the right.
Taka’s punch landed, not on Snow but the wall behind him. The combination of Taka’s speed and strength made the punch hellishly destructive. The punch landed on the wall followed by an explosion and a hole appearing.
All Snow could do was stare.
Stepping out of the rubble of the wall Taka heard the notification he had been waiting for.
[DING]
[MISSION COMPLETE]
[REWARD]
– 2000 experience points
– Unlock new system ability
–
His level quickly surged all the way to level 5 but what Taka was most curious about was the
the new ability the system had gained.
Opening the system he spotted a new option [System abilities].
Below this was two options [Delete skill] and [Combine skill].
The new abilities did exactly as they stated one deleted skills, the other could combine them, though there was a chance the combination of skills may fail.
Seeing Snow exhausted they called their sparring session to an end. Though the sparring session was a very nice way of saying deathmatch.
Taka quickly grabbed some medicine from the system shop to quickly heal Snow’s ribs as it was his fault for not controlling his strength during the spar.
Taking the medicine Snow was stupefied by how quickly his ribs had healed.
After healing they both went to wash and change.
Then proceeded to go find Emily once again.
