The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance
Chapter 59 Undying?

Seeing this, Esther felt the passive effects of her Unique Abilities kick in, and be applied within her body instantly. Like being submerged in a pool after a hard day of work.

It was rejuvenating.

Her speed exploded out exponentially, and she believed that she was faster than sound... by a very large margin even.

Next, was her physical and magic endurance. After all, running at her current speed, required a very sturdy body that could bare with the damage head on.

She then called up her Template, and decided to check out what to do with her free stats and ability points. They... had to be used, didn't they? She thought.

[ Name: Esther Gray ]

[ Mana: 73 893 526 ]

[ Epithet(1): Wolf Huntress(Normal) ]

[ Class: Lvl 10 Shadow Speedster ]

[ Sub-Class: None ]

[ Life Essence: 15,221 ]

[Alignment: Neutral Evil ]

[ Stats: STR - 3,0 || AGI - 240,0 || END - 30,0 || WIS - 4,0 || INT - 0,4 || AFF - 0,4 ]

[ Stat Points: 32 || Ability Points: 33 ]

[ Ultimate Abilities(1): Ultimate Speed(1) ]

[ Unique Abilities(3): Shadow Traversing(1), G-Force Adaption(1), Tempest Thunder Form(1) ]

[ Extra Abilities(4): Personal Speed(1), Kinetic Flow Combat(1), Shadow Control(1), Wind Control(1) ]

[ Class Abilities(5): Abyss Manipulation, Absolute Speed, Chaos Borne, Shadow Realm, Shadow Princess ]

[ Equipment: Storm Chaser(Godly Unique) ]

[ Resources(0): None ]

She went through everything, and was disappointed to replace out that she could still not use the artifact that she obtained, [Storm Chaser].

It was in the form of almost knee-length black and blue slim boots. They were feminine in nature, maybe to match her gender, and their design was up to her liking.

They released sparks of lightning from time to time, making them seem godly and holy. Unfortunately, she could still not used them even at this moment.

That aside, she went through her stats, and being her, she divided the free Stat Points throughout the other Stats that her Class did not favor.

She still believed in extreme speed, but also believed that having strength was not that bad of a deal. Especially if she could do something about it.

Her stats became like this;

[ Stats: STR - 10,0 || AGI - 240,0 || END - 30,0 || WIS - 10,0 || INT - 9,9 || AFF - 9,9 ]

According to her 'son', INT and AFF would better aid her Skills and Abilities, in terms of efficiency and damage dealt. While WIS would help in her defense to the two mentioned above.

"Now, for the Ability Points. How would one use them?" Esther thought, and first used ten on her favorite Ability, [Personal Speed], for starters.

She knew nothing about this part. Even Damien did not place that much importance to it when they had their discussion. Hence he did not explain much about it.

[ TING!! ]

[ You have powerleveled your Ability, [Personal Speed] to the peak of the first stage. If you use the same amount of Ability Points, you can upgrade it to become a Unique Skill ]

"Oh?" Now this was a surprise to the woman. She went through everything, and powerleveled [Kinetic Flow Combat] to the peak, then used the remaining twelve points equally on the Elemental Abilities.

Her Ability tab became like;

[ Extra Abilities(4): Personal Speed(Max), Kinetic Flow Combat(Max), Shadow Control(7), Wind Control(7)  ]

Esther nodded at her Template, then shut it down. From her current level, to the peak of the First League was ten more levels.

That would be more rewards than she currently obtained. All she had to do was wait until the Second League powerhouses to enter the stage, before she could level up to that stage.

As for her Class Skills. According to her 'son', she could use them even on gods, and they would be effective due to the Providence of her Hidden Class.

But to affect a god, she needed over quadrillions of units of Mana. But affecting mere mortals was no biggie for her. She could even affect Third League Combatant.

'Or so I think I can. My intuition tells me so.' She thought, then left at terrifying speed. Her speed being over super sonic speed. She was headed for her husband.

And with her current speed, would arrive there in just a couple of seconds. And the distance was hundreds of miles away from her current location.

Nine seconds later, she moved at terrifying speeds and appeared above a tree far away from a bloody battlefield, like a black shadowy figure.

And there, she saw her husband, David, go wild against his opponents, his level resonating with hers, as she saw his gigantic form fighting these wolves bare handed.

He was five times his size, being almost ten meters tall, and with that, his strength and endurance also increased by five times, making his terrifying strength more... devastating.

The weight of each of his punches held within them over a hundred thousand worth of tons. And even the defense type mutated wolves could not take a beating from him.

"HAHAHAHA!! BRING IT, BRING IT ON!!" The maddend David roared as wolves that were five meters tall, and over ten meters long charged at him from all directions.

But his muscles were so tight and thick, they could barely do any damage at all. His tissue density was as dense as the weight each of his fist held.

The wolves that bit at him, had their teeth sink in and got stuck, or shatter immediately upon contact. And mind you, these were teeth capable of chewing iron and boulders.

The man smiled in pure ecstacy as he tore off the wolves from his muscles, like tearing paper from a book.

He was so strong that, when he pulled, the body of the wolves would easily be separated from the wolf's head. Each wolf seemed fragile and jelly-like to him.

He ignored the wolves and kept up the killing spree, taking out the over a thousand wolves before the duration to his Unique Skill could come off.

And once he was done killing and satisfied, he reverted back to his size, and smiled at the scent of death spreading everywhere. Ones that he spread himself.

He was proud of his work.

"Care for a bored lady to join you, good sir?" Then out of the blue, the voice of the one woman whom he had a fragile spot for within his heart, bloomed within his ears.

David smiled, and without turning back, responded. "I usually do mind, but since the bored lady is you, I guess I can relent." He said, finally turning around to take a careful look at his one and only.

"Not hurt?" He asked, and she smiled, the wifely smile that he was used to. "Nope. Who do you think this lady is?" She playfully brushed her hair behind her.

"Mine?" David smirked and inquired playfully. Esther threw herself into his hands, not minding the blood and guts all over him. "Yes, good sir. Yours truly... me."

The couple smiled at each other, and moved their heads closer to one another. But their moment was ruined at this moment, by an arrogant voice from above.

"Aren't you two ashamed of yourselves?!" The voice disrupted a perfect moment, resulting in both Grays keeping quiet and holding in their rage and dissatisfaction.

Unfortunately, one of them could not.

Esther vanished at unfathomable speed, like a ghost within the wind, and appeared before the arrogant being in a flash. Like a lightning strike.

The other person was a young woman who had fiery red hair, and was also dressed in a fiery red dress, while also having fiery red eyes. She was like a tomato.

Her beauty was top class cute, and her height was short for an adult woman. But her proportions were right, and abundant.

...!!!

She was shocked at Esther's speed, and before she could say anything to defend herself, "What? Wai–"

She was silenced by a fast blade that was far faster than light itself. Or rather, gave the illusion that it was far faster than light itself as it cut through her throat.

The poor young girl... did not even see how she died. Meanwhile, Esther landed down gracefully, her expressionless face gaining emotions once again.

A tinge of panic hidden within.

"Still as fiesty as ever, I see." David appeared behind her, hugging her from behind, then tightened his grip. "But I thought we talked about this, Esther."

His words caused more panic to flash before her eyes, followed by regret.

"I... I... I apologize." Esther lowered her head and meekly apologized. David sighed then watched the young girl's corpse and later shook his head, "She's dead, she's dead. Just keep your calm next time, love. Or Damien won't be happy."

"Yes." Esther nodded. She was the number one assassin, and the most calm. Unfortunately, at times, that calmness could be tested, and she would lose it in mere instants.

The couple then turned around to leave, but the same annoying, arrogant voice from before appeared. "You... you... YOU MURDERERS. HOW COULD YOY??!!" She screamed at them from the top of her lungs.

Woosh~

Flames kicked up a small storm, as the young girl's head and body burned into flames. The flames then gathered at the same place, and once the flames burned out, revealed her perfectly intact voluptuous figure.

"..."

"..."

Meanwhile, the gray couple stared in shock. David subconsciously adding moments later, "She's dead, she's dead... I guess not anymore."

Esther nodded at those words.
