Infinite Regeneration In The Apocalypse-Chapter 58: Jacob’s Talent: Atomic Sword Talent

"The curse of humanity is never knowing when their lives are at an end, today I shall bestow upon you the gift of knowledge."

Vogue was stunned and he immediately roared out in laughter.

"Damn!" he managed between chuckles, "Did you practice that in front of a mirror? Please tell me you practiced that."

Jacob simply continued smiling with his weapon still pointed at Vogue.

Vogue wiped his eyes, his laughter reducing into into chuckles. "Listen, Jacob. I appreciate the effort. I felt like a main character back there, very anime like. But if you’re actually planning to attack me, just do it."

Jacob stared at Vogue for a few seconds and then put down his knife. "Since the other Primas aren’t in this trial, I thought this trial would be boring. In three days, I hope you keep me entertained, Vogue."

With that, he gently walked out of the supermarket, step by step walking into the chaotic street until he vanished from view.

"Shat was that?"

Vogue’s gaze narrowed as he stared at the scary young man. Throughout their interaction, it was as though Vogue was surrounded by webs of invisible blades pressing against his skin from every direction. The sensation was suffocating, like being trapped in a cage made of razor wire that tightened with every breath.

The moment he burst out laughing, with his body trembling, he felt several cuts on his flesh which immediately healed in a flash. Thin lines of blood had appeared across his forearms and neck, slicing through his clothes without him even seeing Jacob move.

What he didn’t know was that he had encountered the legendary Sword Intent.

Jacob had been training in the way of the sword since he was three years old, having hundreds of legendary teachers and high grade techniques. He unlocked the legendary sword intent before the Osympic Trial, then when he arrived here, he awakened a scary Talent called The Atomic Sword.

Along with his Sword Intent, literally anything could be cut. The air itself became his blade, responding to his will like extensions of his body. Every breath, every slight movement of his fingers could unleash cuts that defied the laws of physics.

Jacob was probably scared off by the fact that Vogue’s body didn’t produce a single drop of blood despite being surrounded and moving around his sword intent. Any normal person would at least have a few cuts on their bodies but Vogue didn’t have a single scratch on him.

The scary thing was that he wasn’t the only one with such a terrifying talent. Out of about ten thousand Players, there would surely be geniuses amongst geniuses amongst them. Monsters hiding in human skin, waiting for the perfect moment to reveal their true strength.

In these three days, New York would face legendary battles that would shake the very foundations of the city.

-----

A notification flickered into existence before Vogue’s eyes, distracting him from his thoughts.

[Normal Radiant Eliminated, +1]

[Kill 10 Radiants = Normal Evolution]

[Kill 100 Radiants = Mutant Evolution]

[Kill 1,000 Radiants = Super Evolution]

[Kill 10,000 Radiants = Ultimate Evolution]

This message popped up within Vogue’s line of sight after he killed his first Radiant, but Jacob’s presence had distracted him before he could truly grasp what they meant.

Now, he has the time to process the notification. The academy hadn’t really explained much about the evolutionary process to becoming a Stellar Knight from an Evolved. They just explained that once they enter the trial, they would understand.

Most people in the Osympic Trial would opt for the first option, killing 10 Radiants to evolve, which is the easiest option, but considering the fact that there are actually even higher tiers of evolution would make some hesitant.

Surely, the difference between Normal Evolution and Ultimate Evolution would probably as vast as the gap between a heaven and earth.

Vogue of course wouldn’t go for ordinary evolution. He felt that he could kill one hundred radiants without much sweat, but killing 1000 radiants would require much more effort. Still, with his clones and his Infinite Stamina, it should be doable.

As for 10,000 radiants, he didn’t want to think about it as of yet as it was still too far away.

Outside the supermarket was utter chaos as the street was rampant with screams explosions and massacres.

Ignoring the chaos, Vogue turned his attention towards the inhuman radiants that were heading towards him, their golden eyes fixed on him with berserk hunger.

On the floor of the supermarket, there was blood everywhere as several people had fallen victim to the radiants.

With no strength to retaliate, they could only beg and cry as their bodies were ripped to shreds. The smell of fresh blood mixed with the spilled groceries mixed and wafted in the air.

But within just a few minutes after these humans death, their broken skulls, sucked out brain, as well as their consumed internal organs and flesh were rapidly regenerating.

Their bodies absorbed solar radiation from the sun streaming through the shattered storefront windows. Muscle closing up together as their bones regrew.

Though their rate of regenerating was slow due to not being in direct contact with the sun, they were still regenerating nevertheless.

At that moment, a radiant leapt to the top of an aisle and its gaze locked onto Vogue. Almost simultaneously, two other radiants also noticed him, their heads snapping toward his direction as they sensed him.

His warmth, his beating heart, and his fleshy meat with blood pumping into his brain tickled the insides of these radiants. To them, he was their way to evolve. Their berserk nature burned with lust for human flesh, like an itch one couldn’t scratch but multiply that sensation by a thousandfold and compress it into a single overwhelming need.

Without hesitation, these three radiants rushed towards Vogue with speed that could put an Olympic sprinter to shame. Their feet barely touched the ground, bodies a blur of motion as they closed the distance in half a second.
