S-Rank Harem: I Became My Character with Extra Control Skill

”I can’t use my skills.”

”Me neither...”

”Who really is this guy...”

Ryan placed his hand on the hilt of his Chimera sword.

And fixing his gaze on all those adventurers, he spoke to them in a calm manner.

”It’s a pity, but you should have left us alone the moment you woke up. To think I held back just so I wouldn’t have to kill you then.”

”What are you talking about? The one who did that was the mage girl down there.”

”So that’s what you believe? Although, I admit she is capable of turning all of you into ash in the blink of an eye.”

’The effect of Debt Seal should be about to end now.’

Ryan was keeping a mental count, as he hadn’t been able to fully test his new skills until now.

3, 2, 1.

”I can use my skills again!”

”Me too! Attack quickly!”

They stood in front of Ryan, nearly surrounding him, and they conjured their skills almost simultaneously.

Lightning, rocks, fire.

All of them made a direct impact on Ryan.

The wall behind Ryan nearly vanished, leaving a much larger hole, looking as if it were two windows now.

The sound of falling debris and the dust rising along with the smoke brought a moment of relaxation to the adventurers.

”In the end, he was an idiot. He took those attacks head-on.”

”No matter how fast he was, if you take an attack like that, even an S-rank would end up badly wounded.”

Or at least that was what they were likely thinking as they mentioned it so cheerfully, but.

The smoke, which cleared quickly, revealed Ryan’s silhouette, completely intact.

”Despite having such high stamina and the damage drop from my sword, I expected something like this, but I thought I’d at least take a little damage. But nothing at all?”

Ryan began to brush the dust off his clothes.

The adventurers started to back away; they were stunned, almost as if a ghost were standing before them.

’I was even prepared to use Recovery...’

”What... why... how is it possible...”

”It makes no sense... this guy... isn’t human...”

”Huh? Of course I’m human,” Ryan grumbled. ”The problem is that you guys are just way too weak.”

Ryan began to observe their expressions.

’Or could it be that I’ve actually become this strong?’

Some dropped their weapons and fell to the ground.

”Jean! I told you we should have left those guys alone...”

”Shut up, it’s way too late for regrets now.”

”Hey, forgive me! They’re the ones who dragged me into this.”

”I’m sorry, but if you really had the intention of withdrawing, you should have done it when you were ordered to, even if it meant your death. I know someone who did just that, and she is a beautiful girl.”

’Even if she’s also a demon.’

But while Ryan was speaking, several of the adventurers tried to run and escape. However, he stopped them instantly.

”Debt Collapse.”

He unsheathed his sword.

”None of you are going anywhere.” Ryan raised his sword above his head.

”I suppose I can lose control a little.”

Ryan jumped out the window to a distance, surpassing the tower by at least seven meters.

While he was in the air, he held his sword at head height.

”Sword Mastery”

He spoke, and his sword glowed with an intense violet light; the 25% extra damage effect had now been applied to every strike of his blade.

”Heavy Symbol”

Before finishing the sentence, a black-colored energy combined with the violet energy, and he swung the sword with force.

The flash of energy, combining black with violet, shot toward the tower.

It was massive; it covered the entire structure.

The thunderous roar shook the very air.

When the darkness of the attack faded.

The tower had already vanished without leaving a trace.

”That felt better than I expected, though it’s a shame I didn’t get a chance to test my other sword.”

Ryan said to himself as he fell calmly toward the ground.

Then, Irina, Karol, and Ivis approached him.

”I think you went a bit overboard, didn’t you?”

”Damn it, I forgot there was a chest that surely had a lot of money or weapons in it. I think it disappeared along with the tower.”

Irina interjected.

”But that attack was impressive. Both of you... are incredible.”

Karol gave Irina a few light pats on the back.

”Don’t say it like that. You’re strong too, and I’m sure you’ll be even stronger. Just have patience.”

”But...”

”No buts. You just need to level up. Our party will become even stronger,” Ryan reaffirmed.

Karol smiled upon hearing him.

”Stronger?” Ivis approached them. ”With you, it’s like your party belongs to a monster. You... you’re S-rank, right? But not an ordinary one... you’re possibly much stronger.”

She clenched her fists, and her shoulders were trembling.

”We never should have messed with you.”

”That’s right. As long as that’s clear to you, you can go now. You’ve done your part. But if you ever try to attack us again, I will kill you without hesitating for a single second. Do you understand?”

She nodded her head and left.

”But Ryan... do you think it’s a good idea to let her go?”

”I don’t trust her, but for now I don’t think she’ll try anything, and I doubt we’ll meet again after we leave this place.”

Irina stood beside Ryan.

”But we still haven’t achieved our goal. How much longer will we be here?”

”I don’t know. For now, we have to leave. We need to go back to working with the dwarves. After that, we’ll get together to look for your friend.”

”Yes, alright.” Irina nodded.

Karol was distracted, looking at the place where the tower was supposed to be before.

”Hey Ryan, what’s that?”

Ryan looked at the spot Karol was pointing to. When they approached, it looked like some doors in the ground.

”Could it be some kind of basement?” Irina asked.

”Let’s see,” Karol said, appearing by their side and melting the entrance with her staff using fire magic.

When Ryan approached, beneath the melted doors was a staircase. And the path leading down was dark.

”Let’s go.”

Karol activated fire magic, creating about five spheres in front of them that illuminated the way.

They went down the stairs, and when they reached the bottom, there were cages.

And people, chained and gagged, inside those cages.
