Strongest Mystic
31 Dark Edge
Just then Nyx shouted in his head, [Ethan, use chronostasis!]
Ethan unconsciously did what she said and gulped as he looked at countless bullets near him. He took many steps back, sweaty all over.
He complained. 'Nyx, you should have reminded me earlier. I almost fucking got a heart attack there.'
[I am sorry, the arcane energy in your body was about to transform into lightning, attracting surrounding astral energy to start the lightning edge move. But the rave virus somehow got in between at the last moment stopping your astral energy from accumulating.]
Ethan knitted his brows. 'Didn't you already suppress it?'
[It's suppressed but somehow it was able to obstruct. I am sorry, it's because of my lack of understanding of obsidian.] Nyx's voice was full of guilt.
Her sole purpose of existence was Ethan Chase's improvement but from time to time, she failed to do so. There were many reasons but in the end it showed her shortcomings. She gave mental pressure to Ethan Hunt, didn't understand his troubles properly, her poor understanding of obsidian and more.
She had to improve herself first, faster and efficiently. Only then would she be able to help Ethan. Before that, they had to get out of this situation.
Nyx gave a few proposals that again made her think how lacking she was, how because of her Ethan would suffer.
[Ethan we have two choices. Use rave virus or run away.]
Was there even a choice? Ethan smiled bitterly as he thought of the thin walls of the house. Clearly other houses were also made of the same material. If he backed off now, many families living here would die. It could be said that he dug his own grave and was half step into it.
He took a deep breath and said, 'So how will we use the rave virus?'
Nyx said in a strange low voice, [Rave is full of dark energy so we can use the dark energy instead of lightning, modifying the move lightning edge.]
Ethan's gaze widened. 'You are right.' He now understood the main requirement of the sword move so it would be really difficult for him to use it. If he changed lightning to dark energy then he strongly felt that things would be much easier.
He then asked the main question. 'But how will we control this shitty virus?'
Nyx said, [I'll use obsidian fragments and some part of me to fuse with it.]
Ethan frowned, 'part of you?'
Nyx actually started to sob. [I-I don't want to see you in pain again. You have suffered a lot because of my incompetence and attitude.]
Ethan was speechless. He sighed and said softly, 'Oh Nyx, I don't know why you are saying that but knowing you, I am sure that you will be adamant about this. But I don't want you to put yourself at risk.'
She sniffed. [I am not sacrificing myself. You idiot won't be able to do anything without me.]
Ethan smiled when he heard that.
[The rave virus won't affect you that much. You'll only have trouble controlling your thoughts, and you won't be able to contact me for a few hours. But I'll try to fix that too. So please don't put yourself in harm's way. After you're done, go home and don't leave until I return. You'll have full access to the system screen without any issues. And...]
Ethan chuckled, 'I get it. Now stop worrying like a grandma. But this does mean that your primary objective from now on will be to assist me, correct?'
Nyx was stunned and then she said without hesitation. [Yes!]
Ethan felt his mind relax a little as he nodded. 'Good.'
'So what will be the effect of the modified move on my body?'
[You will not be able to move for some time as your body is still not that strong to handle such a move.]
His lips twitched. 'That means if I don't get these idiots at once or someone else comes, I will be more than dead.'
[That was why I was crying.]
'You are cursing me to death?'
Nyx exclaimed. [No! I just—]
'Yeah you didn't want to see your hubby in pain.'
[...]
Ethan's heavy mood had lightened because of this small conversation. He stretched a little and asked, 'So how long will it take?'
[You will have to use chronostasis one more time.]
'Gotcha.' He suddenly thought of something. 'Oh and whoever touches me won't be affected right?'
[Don't worry, you will be able to have sex all you want. I dare say after this your physical abilities will increase. Still it's amazing that you are so consistent with your horny thoughts.]
'...' He of course didn't mean it that way. But good that she was back to her usual self.
Later, Ethan finally used the new move, 'Dark edge.'
The air around him grew thick and heavy. He raised his sword high and brought it down. As he did, a wave of darkness erupted from the blade, coalescing into the shape of a black dragon. Its scales shimmered with an eerie, otherworldly light, and its eyes glowed with an insatiable hunger.
The dragon let out a deafening roar, and the ground trembled beneath its frame. Ethan watched in awe as the dragon devoured everything in its path, leaving only a trail of darkness in its wake.
In the end, only black lump of flesh was left behind of the thirty or so thugs.
Ethan suddenly felt a headache rising. How would he explain all this? But before that, his body stiffened and he fell back. Dark veins appeared on his whole body as he twitched in pain.
'Nyx you fool! You said that I'll only freeze. But what the fuck is this!?'
