Dust settles revealing the two monsters slump on the ground." Did I get them!?"But that statement was immediately answered as the two standup again, although weakly , and charge again." What!?"Lucas can't believe they have survive , although he can see they have taken damage. The bear slump now and charge in all fours as it sway side to side indicating it injuries, but the croc is almost unharmed, its scales still shows the it's shine of green light ." They are wounded ! now is the chance!"The voice of the lord suddenly resounded across the battlefield. Tens of the warriors on the field disengage with their foe and immediately charge to the two rank C monster.Lucas also charge out.He was now low on mana as he pour it in his last attack, it will still take some time to recover them, so Lucas charge forward carrying his sword.He met the bear on the forest together with some of the high combatants on the field. Lucas choke upon seeing the sheer size of the thing,but this also
The figure float slowly as he observe the horizon. His gaze was then point at the croc in which the high level combatants of the city are fighting. He raised his sword above his head ,* Shining*and cut.A flash of light appear, then suddenly, the croc fell on both left and right. It was bisected from it head to tail in one slash.Lucas jaw drop as he observe. Truthfully Lucas was having some kind of ' pride ' as he see his power grow in a very fast rate.But now he was shown he was wrong. He was still weak.The prowess shown by the armored man was shocking , as he rend the beast they struggled to even injure in a casual move.Observing the man,Lucas was fired up , as he imagined what can he become.*The white armored knight float down to where the lord is. His gaze is stoic as he didn't even put the small mob on his eyes.The group stand weakly ,but all showing respect as the man came down." Are you Baron Brig's ?"asked the man" Y- yes Sir!"Answered Lord Brig's , he stuttere

It was a ridiculous number ,as compared to his previous earnings.Now he can use SP to get the things he want.The previous battle and the appearance of the Legionary made Lucas think more about his combat ability.He can now somewhat u
I have lead him away from my city. Normally this will be kind of disrespect will not be slide off by those their stature. The they will have surely off me with my head , Im thankful he not like those.He may have understood something,but he choose to not meddle with it. So I can only lead him away or he will be pulled into it, and it will be my fault.I led him with what he wants, he wants knowledge of magic, of the workings of the wolrd. And I lied to him telling our city have not those. I eve made my subject to deny him of those knowledge. I fooled him to leave Bridgestone.When I first saw him , I know in an instant he is a High Noble. My people may have seen like he was just a noble , but no.He is far beyond that.A high Noble can stick out like a lantern on a dark night ,even if the try to mingle with normal people like us. It may sound strange ,but we just be able to tell them apart from the normal people.Is it the his bearings , His Attires,His speech,Or maybe his magi
" Is Caldisten far ?"Asked Lucas to his coachman Rett." The journey will take about six hours in full speed, but we still need to give the horses rest and 'ome food, else we will be needing to walk and reach there in the morrow!"answered old Rett.He is short middle-age man but his beard made him appear older.This also made him appear like a half baked dwarf. Rett used to drive his carriage for transportation on nearby city around Bridgestone, but because of the recent beast tide , he decided to move to a different city until everything are back to normal again.The lord got heard about it and asked him to bring Lucas to Caldisten . The lord even given him triple of what he can earn in a month, so of course he complied without second thoughts." You are real s' me in , arent you lad?" say he" Heard you fell a beasty over a house high! With all that magics and all , people call you the 'Hero of Fire' , and you so young! I still remember when I was young I do also want to fight
Lucas woke up groggily among the rubble , he then tried pulled himself out of it but he found he can't " What ?"He struggled hard but found out he is stuck and can't pull himself out of it. ' Magic!'With an idea he cast his earth manipulation skill and push away the rubble aqua from his body. " Arggh!!"As the rocks fall, his body then was attack by sudden pain. It starting form his leg an duo to his upper body.He convulse on extreme pain as more of the rocks was push away.After a few minutes, he then slump down , breathing heavily, sweat and tears running down his face." What the hell!?"Lucas look down his lower body to check what kind of injuries he have acquired for it to hurt like that.He was stricken by panic as hew saw his mangled legs as it oozed with crimson blood. The rocks may have acted as a pressure that prevent him from bleeding out but after he removed them it got loose and now his blood is flowing likea fountain." What do I do!?"Lucas panic as he felt the
The cave is dark an damp,making Lucas carefully fell his steps before he take them.He can see the rock formations making up the cave but he can't see anything else.Even with his fire ball, the surrounding is still pitch black. Thankfully,Lucas have the dark seeing skill ,so it help a little on his journey. He upgraded the skill to Dark Sight which allow him to see the things around him, even though they lack colors , it have help him from making any misstep.The cave is goes deep and it's dimensions change constantly, it goes narrow and narrower and then it suddenly gets wide. sometimes it's ceiling goes high up and some times it goes down to the point where Lucas need no crouch yo pass through.The damp walls have a some kind of vegetation that fells like algae , this was weird for Lucas for he thought plants needs sunlight to grow , but he just brush it off with ' It might be magic' reason." Another fork?"Lucas have encountered forks on the cave system as he continued forward.No
' I need to retreat!!"Lucas turn tail and run back on the stairs,but his retreat was cut short as he saw the skeletons crowd on the foot of the stairs.Lucas fired fireball to clear them, but before he can rejoice, he saw the skeletons break out the ground.First only a dozen show up , then more , and more appeared all around Lucas.Lucas can only run while casting as the skeletons break out the ground where he was standing.*Ting* He swing his sword around but he found that the bones are surprisingly hard and his sword almost do no damage . Without using skill it was ineffective. As he force he way back , more an more appeared like a tide of white wave. Some of the strikes from the skeletons even graze him.' I will be cornered here ,I need to t find another way'Lucas abandoned the his idea of getting to the stairs as he look up and saw skeletons coming out of there too.With the only way out from there is the small opening, he is good as dead if he continues to charge there.Wit
* Blink*My eyes opened suddenly ,around me is a group of people. Some are fitting their armor, some are enchanting their weapons, some is discussing strategies while some just wait in silence.This is a garrison, and we are about to go to war." Still gonna use that broken sword ?"A woman's voice broke my daze I turned and saw red hair woman in a red mage robe." Rebecca"My mouth move on its own, " I have no choice, I can't afford weapons from those shops and those free swords the army is giving out will instantly grumble with my auara augmentation"" Sorry ,can't understand poorish"Rebecca said as she sit beside me.we both look at the people getting ready, quietly." are you scared?"I asked " Scared ?, how can a titled circle mage be scared of a few undead. I will just blow them to pieces."She replied, but in her eyes I can see through her bluff." Right , don't die okay"" He- I should saying that to you , with your broken equipments you should be the one who will most likel
' 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
" 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
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
" 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
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.
" 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
"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
*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
