His blade cut through the air and directly split the two Morenkai in half, black blood bursting from them as the horrifying creatures were instantly killed.

With the energy from his Grandmaster Sword Mastery Ability coating them, Micheal barely felt any resistance.

'I can only utilize a small amount of Sword Energy currently. In terms of cutting power, I'm probably equal to Intermediate or maybe barely Advanced Sword Mastery. Still, with my Steelborn sword, that's more than enough.' The thought raced through his mind as the two corpses of the Morenkai collapsed onto the bridge.

They would dissipate within a week unless someone picked them up to use them for something. Some people had weird Abilities that could animate corpses or used them for various other purposes. Micheal himself had always been much more of a straightforward fellow. If he saw something he could cut… he would cut it.

'Nice.' He smiled as he looked at the notifications. He checked over his blade as he tapped them off, making sure he hadn't gotten any blood on it.

'I need to get to around 100 more Points before I can start my plan…' His eyes flashed as he looked around and continued to prowl.

Less than an hour later, Micheal had returned to his original skyscraper. The early morning light had faded to midmorning, but the day was still young.

Micheal was currently standing in the center of the roof of his skyscraper. On the ground in front of him was his Steelborn sword, leaning against his waist. His eyes were twinkling as he looked at the object he was currently holding on to.

It was a large, old-timey record player.

Something he had just purchased from the Shop for 250 Points.

'The fact that random things like this record player can be purchased using one of the options found in the back of the Shop, 'Miscellaneous Earth Objects', was something most people ignored. After all, you couldn't find anything useful when it came to weaponry in that selection, even if you could select a very wide range of things.' Micheal smiled as he placed the record player on the ground.

'Who would waste Points on anything like that when you could instead be spending them to grow more powerful? It does make sense.' Micheal nodded as he set the record player up, making sure everything was put in place correctly. He couldn't fault people for ignoring this option.

He himself had only really come aware of it in the later Layers, where Points were a bit easier to obtain, though the danger was much greater.

On the black record he had set in the player, the carved letters JD - TMH could be seen. He had purchased this from the same section of the Shop, for about 20 Points. Micheal moved his hand over to a switch on the front of the record player, where the volume could be adjusted. He moved this up to the maximum value.

After he finished setting it up, he picked up his blade, holding it at the ready. He then knelt down one last time, his finger hovering over the switch to turn the record player on.

”I need to get a large number of Points in a short time. The quicker I can get that done, the stronger I can get. The top experts in the Stardust Cluster currently are well above me in terms of strength.” His eyes flashed as he talked his plan out loud, making sure it was sound. It was a habit he picked up over time, talking things over with Shin before they made a move.

”Morenkai are drawn to sound. Their senses aren't super sharp, but if I make enough noise for a continuous period of time, they'll swarm here. I can also use this as an opportunity to establish a horrifying reputation, one that should be enough to buy me some more time to get stronger.” He grinned,

”This record player is enhanced by the Shop, and it should be able to play pretty loudly…” He nodded slowly as he cracked his fingers.

And, without fanfare, pressed the switch.

SCRATCH SCRATCH

The record seemed to shudder for a brief moment.

An instant later, a very familiar song began to play, blasting out of the record.

”…♪ Almost Heaven, West Virginia ♪…”
