BXBX NOVEL Chapter 66 66: Shock
In front of the dormitory, a strange scene could be seen.
A group of around 20 people stood with their mouths agape as they looked at an unbelievable scene, a scene which they never expected to happen, at least to never happen until they leave their prison and become tier 1 beings.
"H-How?"
Two seconds passed and the silence which was becoming stifling was broken by a voice from an extremely shocked blonde male, Luke.
His mouth was wide open and numerous questions appeared in his mind as he looked at the fallen spear impaled demi-basilisk.
His mind could not fathom how somebody like Corey could kill the demi-basilisk with one spear throw.
He turned and looked at Corey who had a somewhat small and lean stature. The guy he had made fun and sometimes bullied now looked incomprehensible to him.
He was not the only one who had this thought, everybody including Kyle had shocked expressions especially when they saw his 'small' stature.
Becca's eyes had a strange light in them as she looked at Corey who now seemed much different from the Corey she knew, he seemed… dependable?
Just as this thought passed through her mind, she looked at Luke then she shook her head.
"I threw it dumbass."
Corey replied to Luke's question with a tone of contempt but Luke was too stunned to make a comeback reply or get angry.
Corey looked away from the stunned Luke and looked at the stunned Kyle with a calm expression, his left eye changed and rapidly changing numbers, letters and symbols appeared in his pupil.
"How were you able to kill Baal?
How were you able to pierce through Baal's skin?
What weapon is that?"
Kyle who always had a calm expression had an expression of shock for the first time. Never in his life did he expect Baal to die by the hands of Zane, especially by a spear throw.
'How could he pierce through Baal's scales as a tier 0 especially after she was close to maxing out her stats?
Is it a skill or the weapon?'
This thought passed through Kyle's mind as he felt uncomfortable by the way things were progressing.
He who always felt like everything was always in his grasp, now felt like things were spiraling out of control.
Meanwhile, Corey hearing Kyle's question looked at Kyle for a second before he looked at the ancient spear.
A frown appeared on his face for a few seconds when he remembered he had not given the ancient spear a name.
He could not just keep on calling it 'ancient spear's right?
He was a silent for a second before his eyes lit up.
"The weapon is called Smile Reaper."
Corey said, causing everybody to be stunned especially Mat, Mac and Kyle.
"Didn't you have a dagger you called Smile Reaper?"
Kyle asked and Corey nodded.
"May it and Smile Reaper 2.0 rest in peace. Látom."
Corey bowed after speaking and everybody had strange expressions on their faces hearing Corey's words.
In fact, Mrs. Ashley and her subordinates were beginning to wonder if the two of them were actually enemies and not friends since the two of them had been talking and had not fought at all.
Weren't enemies supposed to fight and not talk!
This thought went through everybody's mind but Corey was unbothered by this thought since he wanted to know how powerful Kyle was and just after he spoke the word 'Látom', the long awaited result he was waiting for finally showed up.
Rows and Columns of words and numbers appeared at the left side of Corey's vision as the fully analyzed data of Kyle was compiled by Record which was always active.

'Supreme Magus?
Supreme?
A coincidence?'
Corey frowned as he looked at Kyle's talent. He then looked at Kyle's basic attributes and his frown deepened the more.
'Now I guess I know why he would see all of us as weaklings.'
Corey muttered internally seeing Kyle's intelligence and mana which had surpassed the stat limit of normal humans.
He was even more surprised seeing Kyle's mana stat which was the same as his intelligence stat. He could not help but wonder how Kyle's talent increased his mana to such an absurd stat for a tier 0 normal human.
Rumble! Rumble!
Rumbling sounds occurred and the sky darkened. Corey looked up and a stunned expression appeared on Corey's face.
"What kind of overpowered talent does this bastard have?"
Corey cursed as he saw streaks of lightning flashing in the dark sky.
Rumble!
Corey brought out the twin fog swords then got into a battle stance.
Just as he did, he heard the Kyle speak, causing him to look at him. He was slightly surprised for a moment seeing that the distance between him and Kyle had widened.
'He moved so fast.' Corey thought with a frown.
"Thank you for allowing me to prepare by talking for so long. You can die now."
Kyle spoke while raising his right hand and a second later, he slashed it down slowly while speaking in a language Corey had never heard but somehow knew what it meant.
"Aki."
'Focus.'
The moment Corey heard that word which meant 'fall', he entered his focused state then looked up and when he did, his eyes widened slightly as he saw a bolt of lightning just a meter away from him, moving at a fast speed in his focused state.
'Full Counter.'
Raising one of the twin fog swords up, he used the skill, Full Counter and slashed at the bolt of lightning, sending it back to the sky, shocking everybody in the surroundings especially Kyle.
"What the fuck?!"
"What the fuck?!"
Double exclamations from both Mat and Luke resounded in the area as they both spoke what was exactly on everybody's mind.
Although, despite everybody's shock, they all dispersed and moved at least 30m away from Corey and Kyle, not wanting to be collateral damage in the upcoming battle.
"How did you do that?!
What abominable skill is that?!"
Kyle shouted with an expression containing frustration, anger, shock and… desire?
"Do I need to explain myself to a dead person?"
Returning Kyle's words back to himself, Corey felt a sense of satisfaction as a smile crept up on his face.
Meanwhile Kyle had a stunned expression on his face for a second before it became entirely indifferent.
"Tremor."
Not bothering to reply Corey's words, Kyle unleashed another skill of his and stomped on the floor causing the ground that was 50m around to tremble intensely.
"Shit."
Corey cursed as he struggled to keep his footing and not fall.
"Fireball."
"Lightning Bolt."
Corey eyes widened when he saw three fireballs and two lightning bolts coming towards him.
He forcefully regained his balance seeing the attacks coming towards him and the moment he did, two fireballs came towards him.
'Full Counter.'
Using full counter once again, he swung both of the twin fog swords sending back the two fireballs to Kyle but he saw a wall rise up from the ground, blocking the attacks.
He clicked his tongue then used full counter once again on the third fireball.
The two lightning bolts came towards him after he sent back the fireballs and he swung both his swords while using Full Counter, sending one of the lightning bolt back at Kyle.
Wait!
One?!!
Corey's eyes widened with shock when he saw the second bolt of lightning he slashed at dissipate like mist.
'An illusion?'
Corey thought with widened eyes then he saw another bolt of lightning appear at the exact spot where he just slashed at the fake lightning bolt. There was no way he could use full counter on it, he had lost his balance.
"Shi-"
Corey cursed but,
Bang!
The bolt of lightning struck Corey causing everybody that was watching to think Corey was done for, but,
"Fucking bastard you ruined my hoodie."
Everybody looked at the spot Corey was in with surprise. The smoke caused between the two teenagers fight 'magically disappeared' the instant everybody looked at Corey's position.
But when they did, everybody had various expressions with the majority been curiosity.
Corey coughed once more while dusting off the dust on his body. As he dusted his body, he could not help but sigh.
"This was why I didn't want to use thing every time, it's too cool."
Corey muttered as he looked at the Devourer's Armor which had automatically appeared on his body after it sensed that he was about to get hurt.
"This thing actually reduced the damage I took by half."
Corey muttered as he looked at the Devourer's Armor which looked like white ribs of a human covering his entire chest and back. It had a face with two closed eyes and a mouth at the center of the ribs which was at Corey's solar plexus.
The Devourer's Armor at it's current level could reduce the damage taken by tier 0 attacks whether physical or magical by 50%, while for tier 1 attacks, 25% and for tier 2 attacks, 10%.
Corey was surprised and pleased when he saw the abilities of the Devourer's Armor, the abilities might seem weak in some people's eyes but one should not forget that Corey was just a tier 0 human and if he was an average or even below average tier 0 human and he had this armor, he would be invincible in tier 0 and if he was smart, he could cause problems for tier 1 individuals.
"I just knew that you would survive that attack one way or the other. You're just a cockroach."
"Hmm?"
Corey looked up with a confused expression and just when he did,
"Ahhh!"
A familiar feminine scream reached his ears and he turned his head abruptly.
His eyes widened and his heart raced, with his hands outstretched, he could only look as the floor beneath Becca shook and cracked causing her to lose her balance, not only that, three bolts of lightning shot out towards her.
"No."
