*Boom*" Hows that?!"The lights fade revealing a dark dome covering the Emperor Skeleton. The lights form Lucas sword corrodes the shield slowly , the blade penetrated it after a few second." Get purified, calcium golem!!"* Clank*The sword land landed on the stretch hand of the skeleton," What !?"Far from what Lucas expected to happen, his sword was stop with the hand of the skeleton.The light in his sword tried to corrode the enemy but the dark mana flood the body of the skeleton washing the purifying effect of his sword strike." Human...another ..one.."Lucas pulled back his sword and wind up for a follow up slash. The skeleton conjured a dark ball and threw it to Lucas making him blink to the other side in reflex.' So fast!'Swing the superior speed of the enemy, Lucas can only blink around the skeleton to compensate.He was unable to prepaid an attack as the moment he appeared a dark ball was already hurling towards him making him frustrated.On the skeletons hand Rett
"Ugehhh!!"Lucas tumbled on the ground from the impact of the explosion.But his mind continued spells. As he cat allow to be caught unguarded,as the undead will surely flood him in a blink.' It hurts!'Bones broke and muscles torn, Lucas struggled to move his body. He cast his healing spells on himself but this situations is not looking good anymore.While shaken and battered by the attack,his emotions finally calm down , and his rationale came back.' I can't just charge without a plan, if I die then Rett' s death will be for naught . I need to think calmly.'Even though Lucas can heal his injuries in matter of seconds , the spell cost is to high for a long duration of battle.Although he have upgraded his stats and skill set before he decided to jump to the teleportation circle ,his mana will still run dry quickly if he continues to cast healing exorbitantly.' Blink canal give me motion and positioning advantage but it can block all my spell with a barrier loosing my momentum in
" D* nm it !"Lucas curse as he dodge more of f the blue fireballs , he blink in an erratic trajectory around the skeleton in hope to hide form it's focus but the moment he appeared after a blink the skeleton immediately throw a fireball at him.' Was my conjecture wrong!?'Lucas panic a little as his thought out plan broke with a single spell for the enemy.' No , I saw that the blade was effective, it must be a new spell or new application of the Mana manipulation.'He focus his gazed at the skeleton again, scrutinizing every flow and every movement he can fell and see on the skeleton manipulation of mana.' It still the same as before but with the application of that fire element,just like what I did with my holy light augmentation. But it's spell are more heavy and more......compact?'Lucas confusedly observe the spells again by blocking some but that's all he could get from it , it was heavier and more solid that his spells, even compared to his holy light augmentation or mana
The light blinded Lucas ,while some of the lower levels skeleton was purified and turned into ash.There is no sound of explosions,just a long buzzing was heard.After a few seconds ,the light fades leaving a large crater ,the earth and buildings around it collapse sending dust screen about.Lucas squint as he tried to see , the effect of the light still affecting his vision.Even with his limited vision,he immediately blink near the crater.But unlike before, he didn't assume that his attack have ended the enemy, no he need to make sure its dead before celebrating.He raised his sword up his head as he compress the Mana on the blade, light started to form a solid membrane that covers the sword.With a deep breath he slash down his sword sending a sword light to the center of the crater. * Boom*It landed sending out the dust around it.But as Lucas expected,the worst always happen.On the center of the crater stand the skeleton, now raising an orb that emit tentacles like dark mana.
" Just how long is this path!?"' I have already walk for an hour but I still can't see the end of it'After defeating the skeleton Lucas made a memorial for Rett ,but with the latter remains being disintegrated he can only create a grave without a body.Afterwards,he look around for any exit but was unable to see one. The cavern was riddled with holes of caves that lead to different paths which made it even harder for Lucas to find which one leads out of the cavern.After a few minutes of searching he was still unable to see any clue, do he decided to go through where Rett and his horse pass. Lucas know that it will lead to the initial place they fell from. Before ,he have no chance of climbing out that hole but with his new skills and techniques,he was sure that it was possible now.Lucas Greves ( Human Male , 25 years old) Lvl:69(400/6900) MP: 2300/2300Str-120Agi-110Int-150( 10 MP per 1 int) Dex-98End-130Skills: (Passive) Sleep resistance (intermediate) Night vision (Hig
Silence was what answered Lucas as the people were rendered mute by their shock.Lucas brows contract as he wait for them to speak.After a few minutes, one of the magician walk forward and started to speak." W-we are from the city of Caldisten,w- we were given a mission to - investigate the hole that have suddenly appeared on the road leading to dark forest"The magician spoke in a slight stutter, he tried to stand straight to show some courage but his shaking legs have a different story to tell." An investigation party ? Then why did you try to trap me with that net?"" W-we apologize Sir , when we saw that someone was coming out of the hole we were ordered to catch you , we didn't mean to disrespect you my Sir!"Lucas was still annoyed by the action of this people but he understood that they are just following orders and that his sudden appearance on a strange hole is absolutely suspicious." *Sigh* Alright , I'm a fourth rank magician of the tower and I already investigated this
" This way my Lord"The tower magician guided Lucas inside the city. On the gate the guards showed a hint of suspicion as they observed Lucas attire but the magicians immediately cover him introducing him as a high rank member of the tower.After entering Lucas was shock seeing the lively event that had welcomed him. The population of Caldisten was atleast triple of that of Bridgestone making the city more lively in. comparison.Looking around he saw the most of them wear armors and cloaks that what you will expect to see in a fantasy adventure.This is due the the fact that Caldisten is in the very center of the second largest monsters territory on the region. The wasteland.Monsters of various species ranging from F rank to A rank populated the wide area of the wasteland.It is also the reason the city walls make design like a fortress. Its walls are at least a two meter wide and Lucas have also observe tower like structure with huge glowing stones on too of which he imagine was a m
' It's impossible !'Rebecca can only scream in shock seeing the result of the test. Lucas look at her with a strange face as he was unable to comprehend the reaction showed by the mage.'How the hell did he have two of the rare affinities!'Rebecca exclaimed I'm her mind.' And it's light and space at that!'" Is something wrong with the result Miss Rebecca?"Asked Lucas as a long award silence ensued.*Cough*" N- nothings wrong , you have been confirmed to be in rank nine and now eligible for a rank nine badge "Lucas slowly tilt his head as if he was waiting for something." Umm, are there no test required or a hunting proof of sort?"He voiced out his confusion as the mage seem to have no more things to say." Uhh..Yes , due to some circumstances I have decided to allow your promotion immediately and according to the magicians who brought you here , your spells were enough of proof."Rebecca explained ,her tone was now considerably softer than before which made Lucas wondered mor
