RHWB 10

Kabanata 10

He touched his chest, two different power was residing in him. Keenan was confused, did he awakened another power when he class-up? Keenan knew that this second power was distinct and not like his Katana power. He furrowed his forehead as he didn't know why this happened, although instead of being afraid, Keenan was excited. He understood that this new power was unique and powerful, he felt it, this sensation of overwhelming strength. 

Keenan closed his eyes, he concentrated to learn his new power. The two power deep in him was constantly erupting, alive, although the new ability had a powerful glint and different from his Arma Katana type. 

"T- this is, a Bestia! A unique one!"

He became excited as his voice quivered, the light of his new ability was shining brighter even though it was weaker than his Arma Katana type. 

[Hekatonkheires- Unique Bestia]

[Class-D]

[1st Skill: Invisible Hands: unseen hands are attached to the hilt of the katana and they could move based on what the user wants. Maximum reach, ten meters. Range increase as the user gained Rank.]

He gained the ability to create invisible hands, Keenan widened his eyes, he was amazed at the skill. Having invisible hands increased his chances of survival in this place. He could use these hands to be his defense or offense, although one thing was not clear for him. 

"Hekatonkheires? What's that? Besides, I can't transform into a beast? I can only have many hands? Well, it's not good to be picky, besides, the fact that I gained another power is already enough. On top of that, the hands are invisible, this is great!"

The two corners of his lips were curled upward, he was smiling like a child who received a special Christmas present, well he did receive one. With this, he could use the hands to attack the monsters unnoticed, this was a great skill despite being the first skill. 

"This means that when I reached Class-B with the Hekatonkheires, I will gain another powerful skill… although I have to inspect if this power had a high potential, perhaps reaching Class-C is the highest level."

His excitement subsided as he realized that his second power may not have a high potential, if he couldn't reach Class-B, then this power would be at a mediocre level. 

"Ah, I don't have to think about that, it's already good that I have any skill to fend off the Nightmares."

Keenan agreed with the statement he said, having another skill was already a blessing. He won't get this type of thing no matter what he did. As a Nightbreaker, the maximum skill that he could get was 5 but he just had three right now!

"Ah, I forgot! My Katana level too, this means that I have another skill!"

His subsided heart started beating fast again, because of his second power, Keenan forgot that he had another new skill. He closed his eyes and inspected his Katana, although the light of his Katana was weaker than the Hekatonkheires, it was still releasing a strong aura. 

[Katana- Type Katana]

[Class-B]

[1st Skill: Double Cut: a slash created twice damage upon the enemy, an imperceptible rip would appear in the enemy's body, the same size, and harm he made. Can activate whenever the user wants by snapping his fingers.]

[2nd Skill: Concentrate Draw: Makes the blade sharper to easily cut tough defense.]

"As expected, since my Katana is an average type, my second skill will be…"

He sighed when he realized that his second skill was a simple blade sharpening. Although when he looked it at the other side, having a sharper blade would make it easier for him to penetrate the monster. Keenan knew that there were Nightmares that had strong and thick skin like Forza and Higante, having a Skill like this would help him to face them. 

"But I hope I will never meet them, I can't use my full power if I'm alone, I must have my contracted Handler to do that."

He nodded, even though he had two new skills, he was still not confident that he could leave this wilderness with 100% verification. Powerful Nightmares were living here and Keenan couldn't face them with him alone, he would surely die. As an Arma… erm and a Bestia, his role was to be used by the Handler. They had respective roles, and Keenan wasn't the type to fight head-on. Even now he was having a hard time fighting the Nightmares with his bleak sword style.

"I do use a knife in my past, so I know how to swing my arm and I knew where the weak spot, but using a katana is different. I can't use a long blade like that."

Keenan's true Arma form was a Katana, he couldn't fight stronger monsters if he won't turn to his complete form, that was the only way to fully utilize his power. And to do that, he had to have a Handler, a talented one and Carson fitted with that.  

"That man is shitty most of the time, but when he held a weapon, he became a different person. We know each other for three years and our resonance is 85% higher, he's the best Handler that I can put my trust on."

Nightbreakers didn't work alone, most of the time they were in pair, though there were cases when a Handler could use multiple Bestia or Arma. 

"Hup! Okay, so I guess I have to continue again."

Keenan didn't want to stay in one location since it would be dangerous for him. 

"My body is in good condition now, the N-cores helped me although I have to hunt more Nightmares, that is if I stay here for another night again."

Keenan looked up, the sky was still bright, he deducted that it was around 3 pm. He still had time to find his mobileship. He breathed hard and calmed himself, he stood and stretched his joints. He felt refreshed, the fatigue he had earlier dissipated after he class-up. Furthermore, Keenan was more confident this time, he gained two Skills and they would be handy. His chance of survival increased.
