Chapter 61 The Perk Of The Protagonist.
On the bed lay an unconscious Elijah, who was wearing an oxygen mask and had been transported to the infirmary by the instructor as fast as possible. The Nurse who had been a.s.signed to him was explaining the injuries he suffered to four figures standing beside his bed.
"He"s Suffered numerous internal injuries, His organs are a mess, Riddled with bone fragments from his shattered ribs..."
As they all listened to the Nurse state the injuries Elijah Received From His duel.
The figures listening to the nurse were, of course, Serena, Henry, Sabrina, and Elaine, who except for Sabrina all had looks of shock on their faces.
The injuries on Elijah were immense and he couldn"t even drink a potion because if he did in the state his body was in right now, he would only regurgitate the potion.
His Entire chest had caved in, The diaphragm and ribs had been utterly shattered and multiple organs had been pierced by the fragments of the broken ribs.
If not for Agri and his awakener Body, He would already be dead.
The Protagonist of The Ultimate Sin, The one that was at the center of it all had been reduced to such a state just from a single blow.
It was terrifying to think or even imagine.
"We"ve done whatever we can do to stabilize his condition. He should wake up in a few minutes and it"s best if he drinks a few potions to get him back up to shape."
After saying what she wanted to say, She left, and soon they were the only ones left in the room.
...
...
...
There was complete silence, They all were too preoccupied seeing Elijah in that state to even speak of what just happened.
Except for a certain someone who was having a "talk" with the perpetrator of this incident through their spatial link.
"Don"t you think you went a little too far?"
[...]
Alan, Who was on the other side did not answer.
"His chest caved in, His ribs shattered and pierced his lungs and it"s a wonder how he didn"t die immediately."
[It"s not my fault.]
Alan, who was finally tired of her berating him, Finally made up an excuse.
"How is this hot your fault? It"s supposed to be a friendly spar, Not a fight to the death."
[I wasn"t even serious.]
Sabrina Paused.
What She had just heard made it impossible to not pause.
He had nearly killed an E rank awakened on the border of breaking through with a single hit and yet...
He wasn"t even serious?
And she knew he wasn"t telling her a lie to boast about his strength.
It was all true.
Alan Peccator, during a friendly duel, had nearly killed his cla.s.smate when he wasn"t even serious.
She could only release a sigh.
Elijah, the second-best first year had been reduced to such a state by the best first year who wasn"t even serious with a single blow.
Alan had no flaws in his moments when he trained with a spear, But his kicks?
Even they had no flaw?
Nonsense, His kicks were not as perfect as his spear. It was just too fast for her to see what had just happened.
But it still didn"t do anything about the fact of how terrifying it was to have the ability to instantaneously appear anywhere around your opponent and deal a devastating blow with your opponent having no idea where it was coming from.
She shuddered at the mere thought of her opponent being able to do that.
It was the best Anti Mage Attack.
To appear before a mage could draw a magic circle or even think of activating a skill and deliver a fatal blow on their weak physiques.
Elijah was a melee combat the awakened, He had a fairly well-built body.
But her?
She had a weak physique, And although she could cast a spell or think of a skill at a fairly fast speed.
What good was being fast in front of someone who could literally "instantaneously" attack you?
"..uh..*Groan*."
Just then, Elijah had finally woken up and with a groan, Tried to get up.
Yet it only worsened his injuries and he coughed up blood that landed in the oxygen mask he was wearing, covering it in res entirely.
Serena quickly went over to him and laid him down on the bed again, She then opened a drawer beside his bed and took out two gla.s.s bottles that had a blue liquid inside.
She carefully took off his oxygen mask and fed him the two options carefully.
And the potions did their work spectacularly as after he drank them, He was able to sit on the bed without any problem. Yet he didn"t speak.
"Yo, So you feeling better now?"
Henry, Who was the first to break the awkward atmosphere finally spoke.
Yet Elijah didn"t respond. His eyes were on another message.
[Supreme Dragon Of Fire Agri says Told you it was pointless to try and fight him.]
"Hey come on man, it happens to all of us, Plus he went full-on killer blow at the
start."
[Supreme dragon of fire Agri says that He wasn"t even serious.]
Ironically, The only two who were talking couldn"t even speak to each other.
Agri was just berating Elijah for his foolishness while Henry was trying to cheer him up.
"Henry"s right Eli, That b.a.s.t.a.r.d went full strength straight from the start."
The next one who spoke was Serena, who tried her best to cheer him up.
"He wasn"t serious at all."
Elijah finally spoke, yet his words were met with silence from the rest this time.
"I"m sorry... but can I be alone for a while?"
At first, they were hesitant to leave but Elijah kept on insisting which eventually led to them heeding his wishes.
Once they all were finally gone, Elijah lay down on the bed and spoke in his mind.
"System, How many points do I have?"
In reply to the question, he asked in his mind, a message appeared in front of him.
[SP Possessed by host:1095SP]
"I only have that much left huh..."
Thinking about it for a whole minute, and spreading out his mana to see if anyone was nearby ,He finally came to a decision and said with a low voice after finding that no one was there.
"Buy 10 random low-rank Pa.s.sive skills."
And then, with ten dings of the system accompanied by his losing all his SP points until only 95 were left.
[You have gained the pa.s.sive Skill:Minor Shock Resistance(F)]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive Skill:Minor Driving Mastery(F)]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive skill:Minor Casting Speed Enhance(F)(2/5)]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive Skill:Inferior Elemental Resistance(F).]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive skill:Inferior Dark Element Resistance:(F)]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive skill:Increased Mana Control(F)(3/5)]
[You have Gained the pa.s.sive skill:Vision Enhancement(F).]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive skill:Strengthened Skin(F)]
[You have gained the Pa.s.sive skill:Minor Regeneration(F)(3/5)]
[You have gained the pa.s.sive skill:Cooking(E)]
The scene in front of his eyes would have shocked anyone else to see, They would be ecstatic, dying from joy at receiving so many skills even though their rank was low.
But Elijah? Only three words came out of his mouth.
"f.u.c.k my luck."
Out of ten draws, He only got a single E rank skill and it had nothing to do with combat...
He sighed and went back to sleep, Not even bothering to check the descriptions of these skills.
To him, they were most likely useless given their rank, They would just be added to the plethora of other skills he had and be lost in them.
This was the perk of the protagonist of the Ultimate Sin.
A system possessed by no one other than himself, Something that people would destroy entire planets for.
