Reincarnated As The Diabolic System

Chapter 45 44. Please, Forgive Us!

As soon as he said that, an electric spark more powerful than earlier flew from his body and dashed straight toward Luna. The latter dodged, but the ball of electrical energy turned and twisted toward her, entering her body. At that moment, Luna's entire body froze as if someone had pressed a pause button as it trembled because of being shocked constantly.

Her widened eyes stared at Ed in a terrified manner as she had the urge to speak, but couldn't because power was forcing her to stand erect without moving. It was just that her glance said it all. She didn't even have to open her mouth to speak out her grievance.

Ed spoke while walking toward the girl, "Tsk, you fell just with one skill attack," despite hiding his power. Ed didn't say those words out loud as he reached toward her and patted her head like an affectionate father and said, "Don't f*ck with me and my little disciple. Get it?"

After that, he didn't continue to linger any longer and disappeared in the blink of an eye. Luna continued to stand in her garden for two minutes, getting electrocuted. When she finally regained control of her body as the electricity stopped making her tremble, she fell to her knees and raised her head, staring at the place where Ed was standing not too long ago.

Her fingers curled into a fist as she chuckled darkly, "You and your disciple better be careful from now on."

In the institute.

As soon as Ed returned to the virtual portal building and went to the same floor, he saw a group of students standing there in the corridor. They were chit-chatting among themselves. His shoulders relaxed as he glanced around only to find that his little disciple was missing.

Well, he had expected that….

After all, it would be hard even for a high-level system to pass that level. If Shane had passed it easily, it would've been a serious matter. He glanced at Dirt, who was shaking his head indicating Shane still hadn't come out.

Just what the heck was happening there?

What none of them knew was that Shane had lost his consciousness by using all of his vital force to run the weapon. Noah already waited for several hours on the stairs, but his system didn't come online. He was getting bored at this time.

He had already slept for several hours, and now, he wouldn't want any longer. So he stood up and started to walk upstairs. In any case, he could still turn on the menu. He would be fine even without the system.

Didn't he stay alive even after facing so many life and death situations? Noah motivated himself like this as he walked. Just as he reached the topmost floor, he was stopped by a closed door right in front of the staircase. He stared at the door as a feeling of nervousness appeared in his heart.

For some reason, his intuition told him not to go inside, but…..

"Ahh, f*ck it! I'll just enter. I'll see what happens after that later," he mumbled to himself and pushed open the door decorated with strange carvings of animals, ears, eyes, and even limbs all around the place, revealing a dark room inside.

He had seen enough until now. So that strange door didn't scare him anymore. His eyes sparkled at the thought, "Did I become strong or something? If I go back to my world, I might end up shocking everyone else!"

"If only you can get back," a voice echoed from the darkness, scaring Noah to death.

The latter stopped his feet as he took deep breaths to calm himself down. His entire body trembled from the impact of that voice.

'How come even the voice of this person is so powerful?! I better defeat the boss and get out of here,' he thought, but he said nothing. He silently took out his katana and turned on the swordmaster skill from the inventory and said, "Y-You get away from me! I came here to defeat the boss!"

A chuckle echoed into the dark that surrounded Noah at once, "Really, you amuse me, Noah."

"How do you know my name?!" The boy was terrified to the extreme now. He couldn't move as his hands holding his katana trembled.

"I even know your system and I planned to bring him here. Tsk, he is so incompetent, falling unconscious so soon. I couldn't even have a chat with him," the voice sounded as if the person in the dark was really sad, "I'll just kill you now."

"No, Get the heck out of here! I'm not afraid of you!" Noah gripped the katana tightly as he raised his head despite being afraid. He knew that if he didn't fight back, he might end up dying.

"Oh?" The voice echoed an amusement as a guest of wind flowed toward the boy all of a sudden. Its force continued to increase until Noah couldn't take it anymore. He covered up his face first.

"What do you want?!"

"I won't tell you," said the voice slowly as the gust of wind slowly turned into wind blades, slashing Noah's body into fine pieces. An ear-piercing voice sounded from the dark room as it slowly turned down. After that, only the sound of slashing something could be heard that would make anyone feel a chill down their spines.

Too bad. No one was present to witness this scene.

The voice in the dark scoffed after looking at the mess, "What a pity! I thought I'd get to meet Shane today. I was told he was the only system with dark cosmic energy in his veins. I wanted to get him on our side."

Shane, who was being remembered at this time by several people, finally opened his eyes only to find himself standing in the middle of a desert. He stared at the scene with the sun scorching above his head and frowned.

Where was this?

He soon got his answer in the form of a popup window.

[Host, you failed your mission. Your punishment starts now. You have to survive in this desert for four days. The time outside will be measured as 10 days in the punishment realm equals one day outside. We hope you can survive. Best of luck!]

What the heck? How did he fail? He had clearly told his host to stay back until he arrived! Why did that damned boy have to head upstairs?!

The boss must have killed Noah brutally.

He pressed his forehead and glanced around. There wasn't something he could find termed as shelter. It was good that he still had his boots, or else he might end up burning his feet with the hot sand beneath.

For a moment, he felt sad about his host. Even though that boy was useless and virtual, he was still his first host. He didn't want that person to die. He sighed and took off his shirt, wearing it over his head.

Four days, right? He would definitely survive!

"Menu!" He spoke, but nothing came out. He frowned and called out in a louder voice, "MENU!"

Another window popped up in front of his eyes.

[Menu and inventory won't work until your punishment is fulfilled. Please, forgive us for the inconvenience]

Forgive whom?! What the f*ck was wrong with this entire system world?!
