VRMMO: Am I The Strongest Yet?

Piercing the night sky twinkling with countless stars, a golden light ascended to the heavens, catching the attention of every single individual present in this garden dominated by evil energy.

"Elio?"

The origin of this golden light… was a dumb boy who cared a little too much about a young child that he had known only for a little while.

"Muuu?"

"Miu?"

He was the master of two little creatures so adorable and so special, even nature paid attention to each of their actions.

"Big brother…?"

For the young girl that accompanied them, the special young girl that a mother wanted to protect with all her being, someone who had fought the guards to get back to where her Family was fighting against that Creature, this scene was… a little confusing.

{ "I'll take care of her, Alex." }

He was covered in a golden light right now, something resembling chunks of gold were slowly covering his body along with a bright blue cape that wrapped around his back to his torso, and, with his green eyes glowing strangely brightly… his light brown hair were glowing gold as if illuminated from their base.

She was looking at him from a distance, yet she could see his bright self clearly.

And he could see her as well…

{ "Dumb Misha." }

Alex was not the only one who had seen a scene like this in her life, even the viscount and the knight captain of the Blood-iron duke who had fought on the battlefield countless times had witnessed this… phenomenon in the past.

"Elio…" she released her grip on the hilt of her white sword while looking at his unique form with a little surprise in her eyes.

He low-key looked hotter with all that gold on him. But she couldn't say it out loud.

A blessing was a direct permission to use the Authority of a divine being.

Elio was using that transcendental power right now, something that only those chosen by the divine could ever use in their lifetime.

And of all things, he was using that grand power for something as small as helping an innocent child.

{ "Don't worry." }

He reassured the father, while his unfathomably furious eyes were fixed on the evil being that seemed to be confused at the appearance of this divine power.

{ "Eve will be fine." }

But its confusion was of no concern to him.

-Swish!

In a blink of an eye, he vanished from the ground and reappeared in the air before her, leaving a straight golden dash in his path.

-Ooooooooooooooooong!

Then, before the creature could even react, he dug his hand inside the murky darkness that felt no different from blood to his hands.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[ "Aghhhhhhhh…!" ]

The touch of divine power was several times more intense than the holy energy… it was like Holy water to the lost souls who wander this earth aimlessly.

{ "That body isn't something you can have with mere sweet talk." }

Elio knew how these evil beings coerced innocent souls, broke them apart with years of sweet talk, and overtook them for as long as possible to create as much chaos as they possibly could with that temporary vessel.

[ "Ughhhhhhh…! No! She belongs with… aghhhhhhhh! With… US!" ]

THEY tried their best to throw him away, used force, used the darkness that could have corrupted even the holy swords of the great Swordmasters, but, it did not work against someone who was blessed by a divine power.

Elio used the power that was granted to him Like Mana and tied the creature with it.

At the same time…

{ "You made a mistake choosing this child, you know?" }

With the resonating of his Voice that reached far beyond the gates of this estate, far beyond this district into the old city of preservation, he was using the gold covering his body to encapsulate the Bomb of dark energy that had become too big at that point.

{ "Eve Andrew Deborah Cromwell… they don't call her the jewel of Cromwell because she's small, or adorable, or smart… no." }

Elio did not understand the power that was granted to him much, but as far as he knew, with this power, he could do whatever he wanted.

So, he was doing what he wanted by interfering with the Connection that those Evil beings had established with this world through the little Eve. Experience more tales on empire

On one hand, he was forcefully dismantling the very structure of the dark energy that was creating that Bomb, and on the other hand, he was spreading the gold that was around his body, to atomically destroy every single particle of the darkness that those Evil beings had manifested into this world.

[ "Stop… stop this…!" ]

{ "She's a strong child, you bastards." }

The voice that was reaching even the mother who had just woken up, pierced through the deep fog of darkness and reached the slumbering child as well.

{ "Even if you've made it this far…" }

-Oooooooooooooooooong!

{ "Eve, that child… she knows how to make friends." }

Divinity that had manifested with the purest intentions could never be defeated by an evil who wanted nothing more than chaos.

In the hierarchy Truths that are known and followed and believed in, [{(Prakriti)}] or the freedom of each and every individual, would always overcome the confined philosophies of the [{(Ashuddha)}].

{ "She's strong, unlike you fucked up bunch." }

The gold overwhelmed the darkness, and before the darkness evaporated into where it had come from, Elio grabbed a small hand and pulled it out of the disappearing fog.

{ "She has always been strong, even with her limitations." }

Though unconscious, Eve was fine.

She had fought against the whispers of those evil, and, even after a long mental battle with herself, she had maintained her dignity, her sanity, and her Identity.

-Oooooooooooooooooooooooong!

The Outburst was taken care of, the evil were gone, the viscount was safe, and… the failure conditions were avoided as well.

So…

[Ding!]

[Area Quest has been completed.]

[Calculating results…]

The quest was over now.

"Haaaaa!"

And since the quest was over, they were free to finally take a breath of fresh air free of that disgusting darkness.

"Huuuu."

Elio came down to the ground, and handed the little sleeping princess to her dear father who had broken out into tears of joy and pain.

-Oooooooooong.

With the objective achieved, and his wish fulfilled, the power that was granted to him also vanished.

"Bastard…"

He looked at his partner who had fallen to the ground, exhausted.

She was cursing him again, so it meant she was fine.

And since she was fine, he looked around the devastated garden, the lost lives, the fallen bodies of the knights that he could not save, as well as the wounded men who had shared a conversation with not long ago…

"…"

The outcome of this brief battle was devastating, and it reminded him just how powerless he was without that unique kind of support…

He was weak, and he could have been helpless this time as well, but, thanks to the Blessing, he was able to save the little girl this time.

[Ding!]

The power that he had experienced was something that belonged to those who were called High rankers and individuals who existed beyond them.

-Ooooooooooooong!

It wasn't something that he should have been able to use.

But he did use it, even though it was through the blessing of a divine authority.

"Hmmm?"

And, it wasn't a power that he had obtained without consequences.

"Elio?"

[Rebound will now start.]

"…?!"

"Elio!"

-Ooooooooooooooooooooooong!

Each conclusion was followed by a premise, just like how each result was an inevitable consequence of a hypothesis.

"Elio…!"

"Ale-."

-Oooooooooooooong!

He fulfilled his genuine desire…

"…"

And now, it was time for him to get what he was supposed to.
