Return of the Fallen Volume 10 Chapter 49
With a simple thought, Sam and everyone else took care of their hair problem. Kazuki found it funny. Every time there was a major breakthrough, the hair, nails, and even skin would grow in excess. Asuna and Nunully also took care of the fresh scales that grow over the surface of their skin. They had just received these bodies recently and were having difficulty controlling these scales and wings from growing suddenly but now that they were both at the 7th stage, controlling one’s own body was easy.
The sharp nails withdrew and the scales reverted back to the skin. The pupils and irises in their eyes went from something more dragon-like back to human eye shape. The wings of ice and fire vanished into thin air and the two breathed sighs of relief. The last thing they wanted was for something to be wrong with their bodies. To Kazuki though, he saw it as a benefit.
Before their scales reverted back to skin, Kazuki grabbed one away and examined it. This scale was a deep red with a small amount of purple mixed in. Kazuki held the tiny scale between two fingers and tried to crush it with a small amount of strength but to his surprise, the scale remained unaffected. Adding a bit more strength, the scale gave way and made a noise similar to metal being torn apart.
(Incredible. These scales are not as strong as Glaicous’s were but they are still durable enough that I needed to use almost 5% of my strength to crush them. What else do these two have within?)
Looking over everyone, they had all grown massively. Every woman was now closing in on 7ft and the men were closer to 8ft tall. The only person still short was Mei but that was obviously because she was still a child who hadn’t even become a teen yet. Still for her age, she would most likely be the tallest among her pers by a good bit.
The women standing at this height didn’t like it. For them, it was too much and so they quickly controlled their own bodies and shrunk to something more reasonable for each of them. Asuna liked being tall but not this tall and so she went from around 7ft to 5ft11′. Nunully felt she was the cuter one, though she would never say that out loud. For her to be the cuter one she couldn’t be taller than Asuna. Plus she knew Asuna’s personality. If she were the same height as her or taller, Asuna would probably turn it into a competition and would constantly try to be taller than her so Nunully took the easy way out and became 5ft10.
She was just slightly smaller in height but her bust was still much greater than Asuna’s which filled her with pride. Kimi on the other hand didn’t care too much about height as long as she was shorter than Sam. There was just something about looking up at her man that she really liked. Kimi went down to Nunully’s height and Sam went back to what he was most comfortable with and went down to 6ft5.
Everyone else followed suit and went to a reasonable height that they liked. To them, being too tall wasn’t important. Instead what they were more interested in was the other change in their bodies. Now that they were at the 7th stage their skin was flawless from every angle. No scars or blemishes of any kind. For the ladies, their muscles were toned yet they still had suppleness to them.
Their figures could be called perfect and each of them knew it. They smiled with confidence as they eyed one another. Pretty soon complements rang out one after another as they began touching and feeling one another. Shin smiled watching this but he quickly felt daggers on his back as Sam and Tozu glared at him. Shin chuckled before looking away.
“What, I’m just admiring from afar, hehe. Speaking of which, Sam your muscles are even bigger than Tozu’s now.”
Tozu looked at himself and then eyed Sam and shook his head.
“Although Sam is bigger than before, I doubt his are
Tozu went quiet when Sasai grabbed both his arm and Sam’s at the same time and measured them.
“I don’t know big brother. I think Sam might actually have you beat but just by barely.”
Tozu shoved Sasai aside and held his arm to Sam’s and measured himself. As he did this, he changed his arms and made them just a fraction bigger but Sam noticed and gave off a rare smirk before quietly increasing his own arm size.
A stupid yet funny match initiated by a sly Shin soon followed and the girls began to laugh at them and cheer them on. Kazuki as well was enjoying the show when he sensed Detra trying to contact him through his mind. With a thought he allowed her mind to connect with his.
(Kazuki I’ve gathered them so whenever your ready.)
(Ok I’m on my way.)
Kazuki interrupted the fun and banter.
“Everyone, I have some business to complete. For now, I would like you all to practice and get used to these bodies of yours. You all need to be familiar with yourselves and understand the limits of what you all are now capable of. With your new strength you all still can’t tear this Realm apart individually but a few of you together certainly could, so for now practice on planet Kai.”
Nunully became a little worried.
“Kazuki if only a few of us is all it takes to start destroying the Realm, won’t our strength completely destroy your new world?”
Kazuki shook his head.
“You all have reached the 7th stage but compared to my own power I outclass you all by a frightening degree.”
Yes, there was a bit of boasting in these words but there were no lies in this. His honesty was a bit irksome but Kazuki could sense their strength and power perfectly. He could literally see right through them, while they on the other hand could barely even perceive him, even as he stood directly in front of them.
Still, his honesty was not something a Man could simply take and Tozu, Sasai, Sam, and Shin all took a step forward. Triska who was always interested in strength and Shaila who was naturally filled with curiosity also took a step forward. They all knew Kazukiw as stronger than they were, they were not doubting that fact, they simply wondered how much stronger he was than them. After all, they were all at the 7th stage now, how much difference could there actually be.
“Oh, it seems you all don’t like my words. Care to have a small test?”
Tozu proudly slapped his chest.
“Kazuki I know you are stronger than all of us but as an Ancient beast, I have my own pride and trust in my own strength. Please show me your power.”
All eyes brightened when Tozu said this. They really were just that curious.
Kazuki as well wanted to have a tiny bit of fun and show them exactly who stands at the top of the mountain and who stands below it.
Kazuki curled a finger.
“If you wish to know the difference then simply take a step forward.”
Everyone looked confused and Kazuki followed up.
“There’s no need to think too deeply. A single step forward and you will understand a fraction of my power.”
These words were almost provocative and sent an itch into the back of everyone’s mind. It was bothersome and irritating the way he said. Sam Tozu and the others all looked at one another and nodded before they each took a step forward at the same time. None of them understood what Kazukie exactly meant and wondered what this step even meant but the moment they lifted their foot off the ground, it hit them all at once.
*BOOOOOOOM!*
Sam, Tozu, Sasai, Shin, Triska, and Shaila all came crashing down face-first into the ground creating a large crater beneath them. The ground had completely collapsed however Kazuki remained in place and now stood in the empty air.
No one knew what happened at first but they all quickly sensed Kauzki’s aura. A pressure beyond heavy weighed down on every single one of them and they could not budge even a single millimeter. They could feel the blood in their bodies become sluggish and the air was pressed out of them in an instant. Their bones made grinding noises as they were being squshed with a weight that was equal to several planets combined.
There was nothing they could do to offset it in any way shape or form. It didn’t matter how much strength magic or even aura they used to try and counter it, they simply could do nothing. They couldn’t even speak. Very quickly though, Kazuki’s voice entered their own mind.
(Right now, you are feeling about 1% of my aura. Tell me, even though we are at the same stage…are we equal?)
