The Greatest Mind: World's End

Barg and The Pregnant Lady

    Seeing that I can now bring it out, I began to prepare for the next step. If I can stabilize the dog's condition, I can then try using the flame on it. It is also amazing the sheer tenacity it has to live up until this point.

    This time it was only hostile at first but it still let me bring him over to my workstation. As I began the procedure, I decided it best to give the dog a name. What do you name a greyhound that can emit black flames? How about Barg? Yep, your name shall be Barg from now on.

    It didn't seem to care for the moment more than likely due to its injuries, but I can see the acknowledgement in its eyes. After I stabilized its condition it was now time for me to apply the black flame. It obviously has a healing aspect to it. Does it only work for creatures with its specific attribute? More than likely.

    As I grazed his skin with my flame, it seemed as if it were gluing its body back together. 20 minutes from the start of the procedure my flame went out. So around 45 minutes in total, noted.

    Oh, wow. I can have pets. This just got a lot more interesting. Can I upgrade him? Will he auto heal?

    Barg - V - Barg - VI

      +5 Loyalty

    It worked. So I can instant level up creatures. To what extent though? I should definitely be more careful with how I spend these. Imagine an entire horde of gigantic creatures… No, no calm down one step at a time. I still don't know where grandma is. Let me get better at using this flame.

    *Bang, Bang, Bang*

    Gunshots? Crap. I hurry and hide Barg behind the counter. He may be fully healed but I was able to kill the other dogs in one bullet, I can't risk him dying. He is too valuable. After loading up my M1911 and getting my coat on I begin to peek through the shop gates. Outside I can see multiple young ladies being led by a few young men, getting chased by multiple gun wielding assailants.

    One of the assailants was floating in the air watching the whole debacle from a safe distance.

    "Charles, you son of a *****. Step away from Brianna. You know I was supposed to be the one to marry her. You pathetic piece of trash." The floating man's voice seemed to be carried by the wind.

    "Derek, it isn't your decision. It's hers." One of the women yelled back. Should I care? I mean really? Put my life on the line for a stranger's love affair that doesn't sound too realistic. I need a better reason.

    "It is now! Haha, The rest of you skanks can leave, especially the pregnant one. We don't have time for a baby. But, she stays." Oh, one of them is pregnant? I guess that is a decent enough reason. I can study the effects of the change on a newborn. That should be interesting.

    No I am not gonna dissect it. Just observe. Only observing its development I promise. But first, I have to keep it alive. How can I either A. Cause enough of a distraction to take out the assailants individually or B. can I shoot all of them quick enough. If I cause a distraction I can arm some of them and then we can make a forward push.

    I can then try to attack the last guy. But, he has an unknown ability and is probably pretty adept with its usage. If I shoot at him first and it doesn't kill him that would be bad. I can hold the black flame for 45 minutes. What would happen if I erupt all at once. No, I can only erupt a small portion as I used it on Barg. Kp. Haha, I shall not forget this time.

    Minor Flame Manipulation I - Minor Flame Manipulation V

    Oh there goes that feeling again it feels so good. Although the flame in my chest is still around a candle size, I can feel it has gotten bigger and stronger along with my relationship and control of it. Wait, what? Normally leveling up a skill is just as simple as 1kp per level. This time it was 5/level. I only have 39 left. Oh, this is worse than losing money, or games that force you to use your skill points early on.

    Whoever designed this ability is very greedy and I hope they know it. But now I should be able to erupt with quite a bit of power behind it. Oh, the fight has started already. Some of the men on the good side have abilities, and pretty good ones. They are kiting the assailants and keeping the women behind them. Good strategy but their abilities seem a little weak. They won't be able to last.

    *Bang, Bang*

    *Bang, Bang*

    Through all the noise and commotion, I began sneaking in shots here and there. Quickly the number of bad guys began to dwindle. But, now they realized where the extra shots are coming from I guess it's time.

    *Boom, Boom, Boom*

    Those were my only grenades. They were soo expensive. Ah my heart. They did do their job though. They didn't hurt too many people but now the assailants have to battle the fire and worry for more explosions from the vehicles in the parking lot.

    Through the confusion I threw one of my bags of guns to the women and jumped into a decent position. Right as I thought we could win this pretty quickly, a heavy breeze swept over us and consumed the fire.

    "Enough, if this is how you want it then fine. You can all die." Man this Derek dude is really psycho. I wonder what ability he has to end this.

    *Rumble*

    Rocks began to lift from the ground and slowly and then they began to swirl like a mini tornado. Hold on can you breathe in a tornado? Crap. Why couldn't I make tornadoes? And, why is this guy so strong?

    It is now or never.

    Up above the parking lot, Derek stood in the air waving his arms in a circular motion with conviction. If I can get behind him I might be able to end this. Would a bullet work? He seems to be pretty strong, so it is doubtful. If so it might take a lot of bullets.

    Can I make a weapon out of the flames? Flame sword. Ha, it works. Nevermind, I would have to get close enough to attack him. Bow and arrow. Haha, going old school. I began drawing in the air to complete it. If I lose contact the construct will disappear. While I was constructing a bow with my left, I was trying to build an arrow with my right. I can feel my chest getting tighter, the revolutions are getting faster, and its starting to get hard to breath and dissolve my flames. I need to move.
