"What is this thing."

A creature looking like a mini car-sized tadpole with 2 back legs, zoomed at me with ludicrous speed. Above its head there was a tag:

[Celeritate ranae]: A junior member of the [speed frog] family. Strengths: [Speed] Weaknesses: ???

I backflipped away just in time as a blurred shape hit the place I was standing in moments ago.

BANG!

Shards of rock exploded in every direction.

Breath.

[Fang style] has been activated.

My eyes turned a light shade of blue, my hands blurred as they grabbed my katana at my side and-

WHOOSH!

My katana whistles through the air and cuts multiple stones into two-slightly changing their direction.

The supposed tadpole gets back up and stares straight at me.

"Come." I dared it.

Almost in anger, it dashed towards me at lightning speed.

But this time...I was prepared.

In a fluid motion, I sink into a samurai stance...

Now.

WHOOSH!

One swing of a sword. One hundred cuts.

Fresh slimy blood flies around in every direction. Hundreds of long deep gashes painted the tadpole's body...green

A splash of green blood was smeared across my face.

You have gained experience!

"At least it isn't mine."

"Now...where is my brother?"

HOP!

HOP!

HOP!

HOP!

HOP!

Five noticeably larger tadpoles were half jumping and half running towards me.

Their heads were decorated with tags:

[Vetus sponsione ranarum]: A older member of the [speed frog] family. Strengths: [Speed] and [Vitality] Weaknesses: ???

"Okay...that was unexpected-"

THUMP!

THUMP!

THUMP!

A van-sized red tadpole appeared behind the others. They all parted way for it.

[Caesar ranae]: A senior member of the [speed frog] family. They are at the top of the hierarchy in their species. Top dogs, if you will. Strengths: [Speed] [Vitality] and [Endurance] Weaknesses: ???

"Oh hell."

~POV change[Edward]~

"N-No please...have mercy!"

A man with tears spilling down his face wailed.

"...Maybe in your next life old man," I replied solemnly

A sharp metal pipe flew out from the rubble and penetrated his heart.

You have gained experience.

I looked around me at the rest of my crew, they were just finishing off with the rest.

"You monster!" A man in his 30s screamed at me.

I yawned.

This is tiring...why can't they make it easier for me and just hand over their lives.

"Boss?!"

I turned around towards Mickey.

He was struggling to restrain a giant man.

"Oh...this will be interesting."

The man tackled Mickey to the ground with sheer strength and rushed at me.

"I'll kill you!" He growled.

"You can try." I cheered with delight.

Dozens of metal blades surrounded me and darted at him.

"This should do it."

He continued to charge at me with reckless abandon.

Stupid monkey. He'll be dead soon.

The blades made contact with his skin...and rebounded -only creating minor marks on his skin.

"What?!" I hissed

He grinned.

He lifted his giant fist and struck.

I summoned a metal disk to block it.

His fist made an impact with the metal...and pushed it towards me.

It hit me square in the chest, sending me flying a few meters.

Air was forced out of my lungs and a burning pain shot straight to my brain.

He glanced down at me.

"Weak."

My eyes bulged and my mouth twitched.

"Thanks for that," I exclaimed.

The shock on his face was evident.

"For what?"

I stood up. My legs were shaky and my back hunched- hiding my face.

"You'll know soon."

I snickered. My face retorted into a sick grin.

"You damn sicko!" He belowed as he rushed at me again.

His heavy blows struck me again and again.

However...I didn't move an inch.

"What are you!" He barked

"Your death." I exclaimed.

A aura of dread and fear...no...insanity surrounded me.

Congratulations! You have gained a skill! [Metal aura]: The user can release and surround themselves in metal for defensive purposes. This can evoke and increase fear and horror in others causing the target’s brain to release fear-inducing chemicals. The target’s perception may be altered, causing them to see their environment as ominous and the user as dark and foreboding, or even as a monster.

"AAAARAAAAGGH!!!" The man screamed in a mix of fear and pain.

He struck me again,but only hit a tornado of scrap and dust metal.

His hand was now a grotesque mess cut down to the bone and bits of flesh.

"HAAAAAAAHHAH!!!" I laughed.
