Well, I have the basics planned

[Short-Blade Mastery] Lv (2/2)

Being a relative of Vasco Strada, it's to be expected that I was tested to see if I was a natural Holy Sword wielder. I am not.

The next step was to offer me a Holy Element, which I declined. That wasn't a popular option, but I'm not the most popular guy.

[Whip Mastery] Lv (0/2)

I have a mentor for the whip now. The start thing to do would be to stay here, in Italy, training. But I just can't, I need to go out there and cleanse the world of filth. On the supernatural side of things, Italy is covered enough for me to serve no purpose here. On the natural side of things...

The thing about observation, is that with a big enough gap between me and my target, I can observe everything. Translation, there is no concept of normal human privacy. They're an open book.

Renzu Alu is a wealthy man, using his wealth and power to satisfy his fantasies. Living on the outskirts of Rome, Alu's opulent mansion hides the grotesque truth of his sinister deeds. Within the bottom floor of his abode, is a newly kidnapped girl, who he intends to break down into his loyal pet.

My main focus is supernatural evils. But I do search everyone I see, to varying degrees. This guy got unlucky.

[Illusion Magic Mastery] Lv (0/1)

I was taught the basics of Illusion magic, amongst other things. But most of it just isn't my style. As for the mental arts, I couldn't wipe someone's memory or even just adjust it, even if I wanted to. Which is fine, I'm not calling this in, and I don't want this dude to forget me. Scaring the hell out of a dirtbag should be a nice farewell to Italy.

2 weeks later

"Son of a Bitch!" I yell, dodging to the left, as a Stray Devil rained toxic barbs down onto our battlefield.

Zaker (Stray Devil)

Lv 10

Tier 1

This annoying little shit can fly, and has a lot of magic. It feels significantly weaker than mine, but he definitely has way more than me. Which is a problem, because he's clearly skilled enough to condense it.

"Stop your running! You picked this fight, now see it through!" Zaker laughed, his arm raised menacingly, as dark green energy charged in his palm.

My usual answer to flying dick heads is to slash at them, but he's too fast. And competent.

At this rate, I'm actually fucked.

[ Magical Telekinesis ] Lv (1/1)

If I can use my telekinesis to fly, I can maybe catch him. There's no way I actually manage to get out of here without him catching me, so this is going to be to the death.

Manipulating my magic, I lift myself into the air as fast as I can. Now isn't the time for conserving mana. Brute force, all the way!

"Do you even know what you're doing, human? Worms like you belong on the ground!" The devil flew down towards me, as I rose to meet him.

His left hand held a charged toxic barb, forming into a sword. I really fucked around with a talented devil.

We swung at each other, and I fucking missed.

"Fuck!" my body goes flying upward and away from where the devil was. My shoulder was cut, and it hurt like hell.

With seemingly perfect control, the devil quickly turned and followed me in pursuit, a shit eating grin on his face.

"I was human too, not that long ago. Trust me pal, I totally get how hard it is to fly at first." Zaker shot 4 barbs at me. I dodged them, but put more force into it than was needed, wasting magic and time.

"Too bad for you, you're not going to have the time to learn!" A toxic aura erupted around Zaker's body, and I knew I had to come up with something.

[Inventory]

An unlimited personal dimension for the user to place things and put them in stasis! Any weight within it is applied to the user. Beings of the same tier or higher can not be put within the Inventory. Beings at higher than half the Tier of the user may interact with the Inventory from within, to varying degrees, as they may not be full in statis.

Putting this freak into my inventory would have been nice, but no. I put my blade in my inventory, and equip the Damu Whip.

"Oh, kinky, but I don't swing that way!" The toxic ball of death laughs, before...a green whip comes flying at me. I dodge beneath it, and growl.

I should have stayed in Italy. As Zaker flew in for the kill, I put my plan in action. I reached out my telekinesis and pulled him towards me. The idea, is for him to not be able to stop in time. Trying my best to not fuck this up, I put the rest of my magic into flying at him and empowering my whip.

[Empower] Lv (1/1)

The art of using energy to strengthen, reinforce, and amplify!

I'm angled slightly above him, and I do a full swing down. With Zaker going up, my pull on him limiting his dodging ability, and me going down in an all out attack, The Damu whip makes full contact.

"Gaah!" Zaker screams, the whip biting deeply into his shoulder and chest, sliding down his torso and piercing the top of his groin.

At this point, I'm basically out of magic, and go crashing down to the earth, Zaker isn't far behind me, crashing down in the distance.

I groan, but don't get up for awhile. While regretting every decision I've ever made, I get an alert.
