Mutant awakening: My evolution knows no bounds

[DING!]

[Host has entered Apex Rampage Mode]

[Info: Apex Rampage Mode is a rare occurrence triggered by extreme anger or profound sadness.]

[More Information: The Apex Rampage Mode grants the Host enhanced strength, speed, and healing abilities, similar to the effect of running wild. However, in this mode, the Host retains full control over his actions.]

[Duration: Apex Rampage Mode will last for 10 minutes.]

Silas glanced at the series of notifications popping up in front of him for a brief moment before dismissing them, shifting his gaze back to the group of Cave Orcs in front of him.

The orcs stood there, only a few meters away, sensing the sudden increase in power surrounding him. Even Vic, watching from the side, could sense the power radiating from the aura around Silas and couldn't help but wonder exactly what had happened to cause this change.

Silas took a step forward, his scythe clenched tightly in his right hand, his gaze intense and fixed intently on the mutants.

The system had informed him that the state he was now in was similar to the state when he "runs wild," meaning he wouldn't need any Soul Points to use his abilities. He could unleash his full power without worrying about his soul points running out.

WHOOSH!

Silas stood there for a few moments, then launched forward at blinding speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived directly in front of the mutants. Silas swung his scythe horizontally, slashing the right leg of one mutant, bringing it down to its knees.

The mutant let out a loud, piercing cry of agony, which Silas swiftly silenced with a single clean strike to its neck. Dark purple blood poured out as the mutant's lifeless body collapsed onto the ground.

After successfully slaying the mutant, Silas sensed danger from behind and swiftly sidestepped, dodging the incoming claws entirely. He then countered by swinging his scythe towards the mutant's outstretched arm, severing it cleanly.

Silas didn't stop there. He leaped up into the air, bringing his scythe down upon the mutant's head, splitting it in half with a powerful strike.

As he landed gracefully back on the ground, Silas caught sight of three laser beams closing in on him at lightning speed. He stood motionless as the beams hurtled towards him, and when they were mere inches away, he sidestepped, dodging them effortlessly.

After successfully evading the laser beams, Silas unsummoned his scythe and swiped his right hand forward, releasing five thin, red claws that shot forward. The claws raced towards the remaining orcs with deadly precision.

In the last second, the orcs lifted their claws, managing to block the incoming soul claws. However, even though they had successfully deflected the attack, the force behind it drove them back several steps.

The mutants finally regained their composure, but when they looked towards the spot Silas had stood, he was no longer there. He seemed to have vanished into thin air.

In the next instant, Silas appeared behind them, swinging his scythe with deadly force toward the body of one of the orcs.

SLASH!

Impact was made, and the mutant's body was split in half. Blood splattered across the ground as both halves of the mutant's body hit the floor.

Silas's purpose for using the soul claws hadn't been to wound or defeat the mutants; he knew that the ability would barely affect Grade 4 mutants. Instead, he used it as a distraction. While the mutants were occupied with blocking his attack, he activated Lightning Dash and moved to the back of the mutants in less than a second.

[Congratulations, you have slain a Cave Orc]

Silas dismissed the notifications instantly as he shifted his gaze to the two orcs charging toward him at incredible speed. He steadied his stance, and as they came within striking range, they swung down their claws with deadly force.

Reacting with remarkable agility, Silas sidestepped, dodging the strike as though it were effortless. He countered by slashing his scythe towards the mutant's right side, the blade connecting neatly and carving a massive wound.

Blood gushed from the mutant, which let out a deafening roar of agony. It staggered backward, attempting to create distance and recover, but Silas didn't let up.

Closing in on the orc at lightning speed, Silas leapt into the air. Once he was at the same level as the mutant, he swung his scythe, severing the creature's head in a single, brutal motion.

A few meters away, Vic knelt, his gaze fixed on the ongoing battle between Silas and the orcs, a look of disbelief clear on his face. He could barely track Silas's movements. All he saw was a bright red streak moving around at blinding speed as the orcs fell, one after another.

'This guy… he seems to get stronger with every second,' Vic thought, his gaze locked on the red light as it flashed across the battlefield.

Silas continued his relentless assault, dashing forward, swinging his scythe, and cutting down the remaining orcs. His speed made it impossible for the orcs to keep up; by the time they registered his presence, their heads were already detached.

[Congratulations, you have slain a Cave Orc]

Silas beheaded the final orc, and the heavy thud of its head echoed as it hit the ground, followed by the fall of its massive body. He stood there for a few moments, waiting for the notifications to clear, then glanced at the countdown.

[5 minutes left until Apex Rampage Mode ends]

It had taken him no more than five minutes to decimate the orcs, thanks to the sudden power boost he'd received. If he hadn't entered this state, the battle would have taken far longer and been significantly more difficult.

Silas then turned to face the group. Angelica was weeping beside Ivy's body, while Vic knelt next to her, still struggling to catch his breath.

"You two should wait here," Silas said, his voiced deep and menacing. " I'll go take care of the Realm's god. Once that's done, we're free to leave."
