Cursed energy is a unique substance. Just from the information revealed by the panels alo was something that came from another world, making it hard for Aleph to e across any teags he could find.

  That meant he was left aloo explore this path.

  It was only now did he discover a hint to its true nature.

  ‘Cursed energy es from the heart. Human nature. ive emotions.’

  The word ‘curse’ sighe darkness hidden within humas. It was something all humans have. Cursed energy is simply the physical maion of ive emotions.

  If seing cursed energy lies on the ive emotions exhibited by the user.

  There are more meics when it es to it, but for now, verifying them is Aleph’s priority.

  He pushed these thoughts aside.

  ‘Three chariot-css and several pesky birds.’ Aleph thought. ‘They really are more on than I thought.’

  For some reason, Aleph did not e aany seraph-css and chariot-css honkai beasts when he was with Kevin ahe former often appeared in groups yet they didn’t enter much during their hasty escape, only occasional undeads.

  It could only be attributed to luck.

  Iy, seraph-css honkai beasts appeared in groups. Their bodies are hard enough that an ordinary person would not be able to break it. Kevin’s physical strength bordered the realism of absurdity, which was the reason why he could fend them with a single baseball bat.

  Chariot-css honkai beasts, oher hand, are simir to honkai’s foot soldiers. The Tempr-css honkai beasts are the ohat could be sidered as ‘elites’.

  There are also the Knight-css above them. They are humanoid undeads that have a honkai beast mount. Eae of this unit are the top elites of honkai.

  Finally, there is the Emperor-css honkai beast. Fire MOTH had already firmed the existence of at least two of them, with three more suspected ones based oermaths left on several pces around the world.

  As of now, the only way to deal with such beasts are nuclear bombs.

  Rumble-!

  One of the chariot-css beasts went straight to Aleph. A small cloud of rubble and dust were left behind in its trail.

  Sou-!

  Using his experience, Aleph easily dodged its attack.

  ‘Let’s try it.’

  A sed ter, his cursed energy began expanding outwardly from his body. The pink hue mixed with bck colors trembled for a moment before turning transparent. He went to the dust cloud as he did so.

  When he came out, the chariot-css honkai beasts had seemingly lost their target. Aleph strode towards the blind spots of the three, thus making them lose vision of him. Coupled with the [Sphere Boundary] that silenced his footsteps and hid his traces, he effectively turned invisible for several seds.

  What they didn’t know was that the person they were looking for was hiding behind one of the chariot-css beasts.

  ‘I wo strikes to sever the lower torso before. If it’s now…’

  A lih a ratio of seven-to-three appeared in Aleph’s eyes. The seventh division ced exactly on its lower torso.

  He held the greatsword with two hands before the sharp bde struck.

  Psshk-!

  A cut appeared on the chariot-css beast’s lower torso. Bits of purple blood began appearing in it as the beast’s upper torso began sliding down. Utilizing the momentum, Aleph rotated clockwise with the greatsword in hand.

  Another ratio line appeared on its upper torso.

  Psshk-!

  The momentum of the sed strike was far strohe honkai beast was immediately killed the moment it was struck.

  Everything took less than five seds to occur.

  By the time the remaining two honkai beasts processed it, Aleph strode towards them slowly.

  ‘Alright.’

  Seeing their positions on the ends of a “v” shape, Aleph carried out his pn. He was standing on the base of the “v” while the other two beasts were on the ends.

  Iably, the two lines will intersect at a certain point.

  Zoom-!

  Zoom-!

  ‘Wait. Wait. Now.’

  Aleph strengthened his legs and avoided their point of collision. As a result, the two chariot-css beasts cshed at each other. The momentum behind their charge was extremely strong, akin to a speeding trubsp;

  Acc to the w of iion, two accelerated forces bumping towards each other will result in a force that will push them in the opposite dire.

  Bam-!

  Rumble-!

  The two honkai beasts were sent flying by their own moves. All Aleph had to deal with was the shockwave of their collision, which was manageable. The two beasts were sent flying on separate three-storey buildings.

  “Are they dead..?”

  A line appeared in his sight that firmed his guess.

  [Achievement Unlocked: What a Borrowed Knife!]

  [Reward: Major Energy Box]

  [What a Borrowed Knife: Kill your enemies by their own hands.]Looking at the deformed bodies of the two honkai beasts, Aleph smiled wryly. He had this entire sario in his mind back then, but it was only now did he get to try it.

  Sihe charge of the chariot-css beasts couldn’t be stopped, he could use them to clear out his other enemies in his surroundings.

  For some reason, he felt another sense of deja vu. It’s as if he did this thing dozens of times in the past.

  Knock-!

  There weren’t any enemies left around him. This gave Aleph the leisure time to e in close tact with its shell. As expected, it was built simir to sili walls. Only an anti-material rifle or anti-tank shells could pierce through them. The seraph-css beasts have thinner shells, thus a strong enough force could cause them to bleed internally, leading to their deaths.

  It was different with the chariot-css beasts, however.

  “Hm..?”

  At this moment, Aleph noticed something wrong. To verify it, he puhe shell with his bare fist.

  Bam-!

  A crack appeared from the poiruck it. Without any ons, Aleph damaged the sili shell on his own.

  ‘What the hell…’

  However, that discovery was not what made him pause.

  ‘With my strength back then…’

  Aleph recalled the memories of his first fight. He only wielded a dented baseball bat. The huwenty points of cursed energy shouldn’t be able to make up for the ck of his physical strength.

  Against all odds, it did.

  The moment he awakened [Ratio], his cursed energy was restored to the fullest. He mao kill the honkai beast in three strikes.

  ‘I shouldn’t be able to do that…’

  The facts became distant from what he had seen just now. With 120 points of cursed energy, no matter how much he enhances his body or utilizes [Ratio], it shouldn’t have been possible. Aleph made that judgement through his bareharike just now.

  At best, he would’ve been able to strike twice before colpsing.

  ‘It felt smoother pared to now.’

  As he thought about it, the small details he overlooked began appearing oer another.

  ‘It’s as if I am using a more advanced [Ratio]. How strange…’

  The [Embryonic Power System] tains more thaeiques themselves. He verified this jecture once more.

  ‘The [Adaptation] was locked, but it was different from the other two with question marks.’

  The sed point was the [Adaptation] teique. Aleph could not recall when this thing popped up. It was far different from the other unknown teiques in his arsenal.

  ‘Ugh, I’d just think of it as more things to discover.’

  For now, unlog achievements es first.
