Below was a wide open field, and nearly a thousand corpses lay on the ground. Nearly two hundred people continued to fight each other like crazy. No one cared who was friend or foe. William even saw two apprentices kill each other from the same tower. At the end of these corpses and the battlefield, a dark-skinned, short-haired youth was meditating cross-legged over dozens of dry skulls.An evil, grey aura emanating from thousands of corpses entered this youth's body and disappeared. Next to the young man were two pots of similar stone incense holders. Grey smoke was emanating from inside, entering the bodies of the apprentices on the battlefield through their noses. That's what William thought was the reason why all these people looked crazy. There was something about the smell that bothered even him, and he was glad it was far enough away.He even spotted his own teammates down below. Even though they all looked tired of fighting, they were still fighting. Beck was constantly shooti
Seren expressed a regret that she could not hide in her words a moment ago. Some thoughts that had sprouted in her when William had rescued them an hour ago now surfaced without her noticing.It didn't matter how dangerous William was. The important thing was who this danger was against. She hadn't seen any bad thoughts in William's gaze until now. Therefore, she could only generally judge the sense of danger emanating from him. She had just finally figured out what kind of person William was. If you were his friend, everything would be fine, the world would lie at your feet, but if you were his enemy, woe to you.Seren bit her lip and stared at the grey fog that engulfed William. The fog was invisible, and all her teammates, including her, were curious about William. In fact, right now, Cora and Seren were unconsciously biting their lips.Meanwhile, the young man William had saved shouted out. "Damn! He tried to save us but look what happened! Axar! Surely he must have cast a forbidd

Please stop!"The creature stopped abruptly and looked at William strangely.“Why is your name so long?” William asked, unable to bear it.“Because of my different names and titles, known in various regions, that the people I have beaten have given me. But I don't think it's that long. I've said thirty-four so far, and I still have sixty-six more names I haven't said.” The creature's lips curved downward. It was obvious that he was unhappy."Okay okay. Understood. So how do people call you?” William felt that he would vomit if this name thing continued any longer.“Everyone calls me Azrauth!” The creatu
In a great, completely dark hall, Azrauth sat on a great golden throne. The skull of a horned creature was placed on the two armrests of the throne. Where he rested his head, a black sun was embossed against the golden hue.Azrauth opened his eyes as he spoke his last words to William. It was as if he had regained consciousness. His body, armour, and even horns were exactly the same as those William had seen.On the throne, he placed his right elbow on the armrest and then supported his chin with his hand. A slight smile appeared on his face. Later that smile grew larger and turned into a wild smile.Right now, eight creatures were kneeling before him, awaiting his orders. All of them looked different. Some looked like humans, while others looked like hideous creatures. Azrauth raised his index finger, and after the eight kneeling creatures stood up and bowed again, they left the hall.The wild smile turned into a wild laugh when Azrauth was the only one left in the hall. “HAHAHAHAHAH
A few days later, William began to descend. Although the depth wasn't huge, he was extremely careful. He didn't want to accidentally fall into the middle of the volcano. He did not trust the volcanoes of this world, although he trusted that his body could withstand it. Because since he learned that there are hundreds of types of fire, he did not think that every volcano would be equally hot.Especially volcanoes like this one, which is very rich in spiritual energy and fire element, scared him a little.Saying just in case, he carried his bow and an arrow with a rope on his back as he descended. If he fell, he planned to escape thanks to it. Luckily, there were no fears and he descended safely, jumping off the ledges. After this half-hour descent, the scenery was a little different from what he had anticipated.From the top of the volcano, the area he was in was clearly visible, while he was met with a cloud of mist below as if it were an illusion. This cloud of mist came out of small
William took the first step into the last ten meters of barrier-like distance and closed his eyes. As he took a step, a gravitational force that started from his toes landed on him. However, when he stepped into the gold rank, he felt that this gravitational force was not strong enough. So he relaxed and put his whole body into it.Without a rank one mage, the gravitational force inside was definitely not something that could be resisted. Moreover, that mage would also need a protective spell to protect him from the gravitational force. Otherwise, in William's opinion, this force would be impossible to resist.After a few seconds of getting used to it, William walked towards the altar. Although he felt no danger in the area, he was extremely cautious. He came to the foot of the altar, looking around all the time.When he reached the bottom, the first thing that caught his eye was what was written in the book.[Sierra] William, who did not understand the title of the book, slowly touch
Several days passed at the foot of the altar, in the clearing inside the volcano. During these days, William spent all of his remaining mana on this task. Fortunately, his remaining mana was enough to fuse this flame with his diagram.He broke his concentration, opened his eyes and stood up. He felt his butt go numb, and after a little rubbing, he wanted to use the flame, but there was no point. Unable to cast any spells, after cursing Azrauth and Axar, he pulled out some meat and quickly cooked it in the lava. After eating quickly, he thought he had too much time and decided to spend the remaining days training. He was no longer interested in the little competition in the hidden world because thanks to Axar he had hundreds of creature ears to make him the winner.He took an ordinary magic sword from his ring and began to work. Now, as a Gold Rank person, he had to balance his strength, get used to it, and learn his limits.He knew that the gold rank might be his limit because he got
"Why?""A good look at me will answer that question," Acheron spoke calmly with a smile on his face.William took Acheron's words to heart and began to examine him in detail. Everything that had just happened had happened so quickly that he hadn't paid much attention, but now he saw something different as well.The eyes of Acheron were just as sharp as his own. It looked like a sword, ready to be drawn at any moment. As if he could cut you if you took a step closer.When William realized this, his eyes widened. He had seen Acheron before, but he had never thought of it this way. Now that he also had Sword Intent, he could easily see this and found the answer to his own question.William calmed down and hid the surprise on his face. Acheron also had sword intent, but that didn't mean he was any better. Besides, he had no plans to change teachers at this time. Alyna was very kind to him and very free. He knew that if he became Acheron's disciple, he could go on permanent missions and wo
