The Game Rune System

Chapter 105: Reality Check

Tetsuya had been limited heavily by many factors.

The fact that he was impersonating someone else held him back the most, but other people, their attention and the whole plan in his mind limited him as well.

It changed vastly after the moba game board pulled him and Marquis Ivan into the new world.

Tetsuya patted his clothes, fixed his clothes, then drank the health potion that tasted like wine from all experiences he got from the blood and vampires.

On the other side, Marquis Ivan's heart began to race.

He found himself in the new world and what kind of rune could do such wonders? A rune so powerful that the whole space bent to the holder's will!

This space was blank and far from mature as the sky was pure white, but there was already dirt, some trees and towers along the way. 

But upon closer inspection, the marquis realized that those were mere materialization that had just one purpose; to exist. It existed, but wasn't sturdy nor threatening.

In fact, it was just as the noble assumed; those buildings and set up were all so that the game could be played better and as closely as it should be.

If there weren't any towers or trees, then it would be hard to explain rules and other staff.

"Where are you hiding?" Marquis Ivan saw through the moba board and how immature it was from the real space and world... He assumed that Tetsuya used those to hide his appearance and use death spectres from blind spots.

Of course, Marquis Ivan couldn't see through Tetsuya's cover yet.

Since there was no answer so far, Marquis Ivan released a torrent of wind at the nearbiest trees, but to no avail. Even if those crumbled like paper, the sight of the game master was nowhere to be seen.

The minions then came from his side, startling him. "What are those?" They possessed no evil intentions towards him and looked without any soul within. The earthly creatures just marched forward and soon clashed up in the middle with opposite imitations.

They fought together, but then the game master appeared behind his own minions.

He was in Verdia Mikkun's appearance, but curled his lips up into a cruel smile that was Tetsuya-like.

This smile brought displeasure to Marquis Ivan's heart.

He stepped into the middle, then faced Tetsuya, "What is the meaning of this?"

The information about the moba game had been already read by him, but why should he play by the enemy's rules? He also was ready to just rush at Tetsuya! So what if his skills were limited and he could only use one?

Yes, so what?

"It is what it is" Tetsuya answered, then raised his sword.

It was easy to tell that the enemy wouldn't play by his rules nor he would try his best to understand those. That was why it was just a matter of time before Marquis Ivan bypassed all those minions and clashed with Tetsuya!

Now, it was time for some reality-check.

As Tetsuya's eyes dilated with reflection of the charging marquis, he braced himself and properly defended the first spear thrust.

However, the wind coming out from it was just too much. It slipped through his sword defenses and slithered around his body like whips.

This continued even if Tetsuya's moba rune weakened the marquis! He was pretty strong, a person that could be one of the leaders in the southern part.

Albeit his house lacked in many ways, the marquis himself was a good and strong guy!

'It makes me believe that Verdia Patriarch either wants Mikkun dead or just believed he would be able to take Ivan out Anyway' Tetsuya thought, then death spectres began to leave his form.

Those death spectres immediately became the next target of Marquis' spear.

However, the unique wings appeared on Tetsuya's back and shadow spread extensively around him. This shadow swallowed up death spectres and allowed them to take more maneuvers.

Mixing these two runes, Tetsuya pressed forward while gaining more strength per second!

"Not bad! You seem to hide more secrets! I can see why your father had sent you here!" Marquis Ivan commented, "But it's still not enough!" His spear had been in motion for a long time.

It wasn't only because Marquis Ivan felt stronger, but because he could tell that his powers were returning the more he fought.

It was just natural for stronger people to break the barrier created by weaker people. Though Tetsuya and Marquis didn't have that big gap, it still existed and Marquis could break it one by one.

The moment his spear exploded with wind that pushed Marquis Ivan's hair up and forced his clothes to flutter, Tetsuya knew that he would need to use more than ever!

[Marquis Ivan has become level 6.]

[Marquis Ivan has used his ultimate ability - Snake Wind Dragon]

It didn't make sense, but the marquis' life goal was to get wings for his rune. His rune had an image of a snake curled up. Contrary to his rune's image, the snake was violent and so his wind!

"This is the reality, brat!" Marquis Ivan loudly exclaimed, his spear becoming silver. In the next second, another snake appeared. This time, it coiled around his form and increased the wind output at least ten times.

This powerful ability completely shattered the ground, trees and even white sky around him!

Tetsuya was blown away and could just look at this game-breaking marquis!

"Now That is a pretty annoying feeling," Tetsuya said while standing up. He wiped blood off his lips, then looked at Marquis with a grim expression.

The displeasure created by the game-breaking person began to flow within Tetsuya's bloodline. In a few seconds, his whole body boiled with anger and hate that soon would muddle Tetsuya's mind.

This was something more annoying, though.

"Enough." Not even allowing this demon bloodline to take control over him, Tetsuya used his ego and will to stop its effects. He then clenched his sword and summoned the powerful heavy aura around him.

This aura flowed around him like a river, ready to submerge anything.

On the other side, Marquis scoffed. The heavy aura couldn't influence his wind and so he believed in the utmost victory! But even though he was certain and close to the success, Marquis' eyes didn't lose their focus and his mind was sharper than ever.

Slowly closing up distance, he flew towards Tetsuya, then his spear shot up like a rocket!

Tetsuya bit his lips and clashed frontly with the opponent. Both of them ended up pretty close to each other.

"Oh, another power Another rune This one is dangerous." Marquis was shocked to see so many powers within Tetsuya's powers. There were often various topics regarding many different runes within one body.

It was far better to forge runes to support one element, but Tetsuya had been using various ones so much that it was clear that they weren't forged together.

The heavy wave and swordsmanship had some runes within, though.

Nonetheless, what appeared on Tetsuya's lust sword was actually a snake as well. It was a violet snake that barrelled into the marquis companion immediately after clash. It was Ashley's power from within.

This violet snake began its own battle with the wind and it seemed like they were equal, if not better.

A moment of dismay swept through Marquis Ivan's heart.

This didn't escape Tetsuya's eyes and he immediately pushed him off from his sword.

In the next second, Tetsuya kicked the marquis up into the sky!

He then flapped his vampire wings and flew up as well. Both of them ended up clashing again in the sky, but Marquis quickly realized his mistake

"My rune" In an incredulous tone, Marquis glanced below and found that his two snakes were fighting on the ground with the violet one.

They were pressed down by Milady Yuhi's rune that Tetsuya frequently used!

"You don't deserve to die" Tetsuya said, then raised his sword. He then slashed the air next to him, then sent a powerful demon yin essence out of his sword.

This essence could be used on the marquis, but Tetsuya had a better plan.

This essence clashed with Ashley's violet snake that began to spit out more of her techniques.

The moment the essence got absorbed by the snake, it expanded and became bigger enough to easily swallow the wind snakes. The power behind its jaw was shocking and its scales couldn't be penetrated at all.

The violet snake destroyed, ate and then returned to Tetsuya's sword by giving him even more energy than before.

The loss of his two snakes forced Marquis to spit out a mouthful amount of blood, "I can't believe it Just how many runes can be hidden in your body?" He whispered, but the answer he got was just the sword rearing from the side.

The sword cut through his torso, chest and shoulder, leaving a widely opened wound that splattered enough blood to save a few lives.

"Let's have a talk later on," Tetsuya whispered, then returned to the ground.

As he looked around, his eyes closed in disbelief, "His wind actually broke the towers and the ending gem If I were to fight Verdia Household, then it would be even worse"

"That's why you have to move from the shadows and gather the majority at him," Ashley cheered from the side, clearly happy that she helped her beloved.

Tetsuya's pain disappeared the moment her voice assaulted him. He just faintly smiled and began to drink more potions.

After thirty minutes, Marquis woke up and looked at the blue sky, "I am back" He was back, but next to him, a man with the looks transcending common sense glanced at him.
