Dante moved just as he had when fighting against the hordes. It was as if he had been doing it all his life—the movement flowed effortlessly. Instructor Bane couldn’t believe his eyes as he watched the teenager move with the fluidity of a seasoned veteran.“Void Crescent!” Dante finally shouted as a wave of mana surged from his sword and crashed into the wall. It left a dent—an impressive feat considering the training room was built with a special material that made it nearly indestructible. Most students wouldn’t even leave a scratch.“Have you studied footwork before?” Instructor Bane asked. He knew Dante was only a first-year student, and their curriculum had not yet introduced footwork or advanced sword techniques. But he had to ask.“No, sir.”“Then how is this possible?”“What’s possible?”“Everything. Your sword skills, your footwork—none of it should be possible. And yet, I can see there’s still plenty of room for improvement.” Instructor Bane was in shock. He had always suspe

Dante stood on shaky legs, his breath ragged as he faced Cedric, Mira, and Jax—three of the strongest members of the team, now revealed as traitors. Their leader, Cedric, an A-rank fire elemental, smirked as flames danced between his fingertips. Mira, an A-rank ice elemental, stood beside him, her icy aura clashing with Cedric’s heat. Jax, the B-rank tank, cracked his knuckles, ready to crush Dante with his brute force.Behind Dante, only Nadia, the B-rank wind elemental, remained alive, panting from exhaustion. Leon, the C-rank barrier specialist, lay lifeless on the ground, slain by their supposed allies. Troy, the C-rank speedster, had been taken down before he even had a chance to react.“You should have just died with the others, Raven,” Cedric sneered. “Would have been less painful that way.”"Why did you attack us?" Dante asked earning a chuckle from Cedric"Simple, we don't want to share our loots with you guys." He answered.Cedric and his crew will always gather a team to ex

Though his first raiding taught him how dangerous a dungeon could be, and the most danger aren't from monsters but Humans. Dante still believed he needed the dungeon to get to his peak. Though the memory of his past life is gone, he instinct as the demon lord to grow stronger still remains. So with his desire to get stronger, Dante continued raiding as Raven, and though he never met Nadia, he also didn't meet any group like Cedric's group, and for that he was happy. Killing a human wasn't something he enjoyed. Today he is joining a team to raid an A-Rank Team. The A-rank dungeon loomed ahead, a gaping rift of swirling darkness pulsing with raw mana. Dante adjusted his grip on his sword, silently analyzing the energy radiating from the portal. His team, consisting of seasoned A-rank hunters, stood beside him, their expressions a mix of anticipation and unease. Though they had fought in high-level dungeons before, none took the challenge lightly.“Alright, everyone,” the team leader, a

Dante could feel it—he had progressed again. Even though there was no one to compare himself to, he knew he had outclassed all his peers.Void Rend—the second stage of his sword skills—was unlike the first. Void Crescent was effective for cutting down multiple weaker opponents, but Void Rend was different. It focused all its power on a single target, making it sharper and nearly impossible to guard against.A moment ago, the enemy had been standing—confident, unyielding. Now, his lifeless body crumpled to the ground, cleanly severed as if reality itself had yielded to Dante’s blade. The dungeon’s eerie silence settled in once more."That is one deadly strike," Raiden remarked, his voice laced with both admiration and disbelief.He had always doubted the rumors about Raven, assuming they were exaggerated. He even found the mask ridiculous, thinking Raven was just trying to be mysterious. But after teaming up with him, witnessing his speed, and seeing the sheer lethality of his sword st

Dante couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Vida stepping out from behind Miss Sapphire. She was even more beautiful than he remembered.“Vida.”“Dante,” she replied with a warm smile before he closed the distance between them, enveloping her in a tight embrace.“I’ve missed you,” she whispered, returning his hug.As an S-rank healer and water user, Vida was treated like royalty at her academy, making it nearly impossible for her to leave. When she heard the news of Dante’s awakening, he had already enrolled at Mighty Ones Academy. She had wanted to visit him then, but her request was denied. Today was the first time she had been allowed to visit—only because she accompanied her headmaster, who had business with his longtime friend, the headmaster of Mighty Ones Academy.Unbeknownst to Dante, his simple act of hugging Vida had earned him an enemy. William Archibald, an S-rank air user, glared daggers at him. William believed he was the only one worthy of Vida, and seeing Dante so clos
