4 Hell Column (1/2)

”It looks like they're hypnotized by this thing, I almost wish they'd panicked.”

He had quickly regained his composure and was already preparing to act feeling that this phenomenon wasn't announcing anything good.

He then started to lower his eyes to examine the weapon he had just received. He didn't doubt that he could only count on this since the gun hidden in his belt had disappeared. Not feeling more than 1 kilogram on his knees he was already preparing to be disappointed.

”Please don't give me a crappy weapon.”

What he had received wasn't a conventional weapon, he saw it immediately.

'A hidden blade... At least I like the design.'

It was a concealed blade whose completely black sheath and handle were rectangular with rounded ends. He now wanted to examine the blade. He had barely separated the handle from the sheath when something unexpected happened.

A picture appeared directly in his brain.

He took the time to read what was said slowly to fully understand all the pieces of information there and that had the effect of answering a lot of questions he asked himself since the announcement of Hermès on a so-called way of evolving.

'It makes things a lot simpler.'

♦ Description ⠆

This weapon has a straight blade with a curved end and measures 2 feet and an inch in length (71 centimeters). It was designed by [????????] to replace the dagger which was intended for you by the gods because he deemed it too ugly for you. This extremely sharp weapon for a beginner cut in the flesh as in tofu. However, the fact that it has no guard greatly reduces its defensive capabilities and you are better off holding it well so as not to hurt your hand by accidentally touching the blade or drop it.

♦ Evolution conditions ⠆

• Kill 150 enemies of rank E • 0/150

• Achieved level 10 • 0/10.

'I feel like the question marks represent my guardian angel. Thanks for the weapon.'

Lazar was convinced that he had to get the fuck out of here on the spot, waiting for the traffic to clear wasn't an option. He got up to go talk to the driver and took the opportunity to look at the weapons of the other passengers.

'It seems that all our weapons have a default, but for some, it's on a whole new level... A rusty sword, a bow whose design is made to prevent from aiming correctly. The gods haven't spoiled them.'

”Hey, old man.”

The bus driver got out of his torpor when he heard Lazar address him.

”Yes?”

'At least he's reactive.'

”I know it's a mess. That surely all of your beliefs have been challenged and stuff. But don't you think we should stop wanking off on that flame explosion and get out of here ?”

Although Lazar's words weren't the most suitable for a convinced Christian like him who just understood that other gods than his existed. He nevertheless agreed with him, they must get out of here quickly.

”And how do you want to do that? Can't you see it's blocked in front of us!”

The bus driver started to get angry aloud, exactly what Lazar wanted to avoid. In tense situations, if someone loses his calm it's often the spark leading to panic. All the passengers that heard him immediately began to panic until it becomes a mess in the whole bus.

”Eh! What if this thing extended to reach us?!”

”That's right! What are we gonna do?!”
