There was a city built at the foot of a gigantic mountain, surrounded by ramparts as high as the sky, and seemingly illuminated by divine grace from every angle. Thousands of people were selling things, having set up various small booths in the square of this city. The square was so crowded that you might have trouble hearing your own voice. Not only people trying to sell their belongings, but also warriors carrying weapons in various animal skins were trying to bargain for some items in the square.
The owner of each booth was careful to resist as much as he could, to sell his item for a higher price when a warrior asked him for something and tried to negotiate. There was a gigantic statue in this square where thousands of people lived. The statue was kneeling, stabbing a dragon-like creature with his sword. The sword had entered the middle of the dragon's neck. It was so detailed that even a few drops of tears leaking from the dying dragon's eyes were shown.
It was no
When Leslie opened his eyes, he found himself in a small, empty room. Bandages were wrapped around his waist and healing ointments were applied. After his battle with William, all he remembered was that when he turns his back, a sword entered him around his waist and pinned him to the wall.He was ashamed. Even if it meant dying, he had to go all the way for taking it this long. 'I should never have turned my back.' How would his friends look at him now? What would they say to him? Would they tease, or would they cut off their friendship? As such thoughts took over his mind, the look in his eyes grew dull. Everything was deleted in an instant. It was as if someone had come and cleansed his soul from head to toe. Now he only had one thought. That was 'Getting stronger.'Despite his aching back, he got out of bed without frowning. His dimensional bag was with him. He quickly put on an outfit and went outside. A young girl was sitting behind a desk in front of the door. S
It was noon when William reached the academy. He gave a good yawn after handing over his Ruby Horse to the stableman. Being on a horse for a long time tired him out. He felt that even his bones were intertwined. He saw that the academy was utterly empty. He could only see occasional students in the main buildings. As a result of the war, many of the students wanted to return and control the family business for a while, which was understandable. William thought it would take about a week. Afterward, students would necessarily return to the academy. Otherwise, it would be against the new rules of the academy.William had a few things to do for now. Although he was tired, he had to visit him, so he chose to go to Baldur first. He was wondering about his friend whom he had not seen for a long time. He wanted to know if he was successful in his advancement.When he got to Baldur's Villa, he knocked on the door and waited patiently. Shortly after, footsteps were heard from i
After William left Baldur's Villa, he went straight to the cafeteria. Fortunately, it was empty. He didn't expect anyone to be there at this hour. He thought that Merlon might have returned with the news of the victory. Although he had said that he would take her with him on his return, he had forgotten in his haste. Moreover, even if he did, it would be nothing but a burden. 'It's better this way.' he thought.After getting himself a nice meal, he went straight to the cultivation building. Here, under the disturbingly concerned gaze of the beautiful teacher, he rented a room. He would not meditate yet, as the spiritual energy here was too low for him. He was already thinking of leaving in the first light of the morning. The main purpose of his coming here was to perfect his techniques. Before he became a bronze level, he aimed to use these techniques better. After all, these techniques were all named after him, and it was his fault if he didn't master them. One day was not e
William didn't get much sleep after a good meal. Instead, he chose to train his movement technique inside the cave. With each use, he felt that the technique was growing more and more in harmony with himself.This technique also worked just like the execution sword, but the fire element it used was less. The fire element he drew around him was only one-tenth of it. Moreover, it could not be used if there was no fire element in the surroundings. He would not draw the fire element from the body. This technique was weak in some areas just because of this. It wasn't much of a problem for now, but if he used this technique in an area like a volcano, he could feel that both his speed and his burning power would increase exponentially. From here on, the disadvantage of each element began to show itself.For example, what's the point of using this technique in a volcanic territory? The creatures that were there, that he was going to fight, were already accustomed to that terri
Comrade and William sprinted at full speed towards the bronze-level worms that were coming towards them. The Comrade had chosen the stronger one before William and had gone straight to him. He knew that William was still at the iron level and did not want to endanger him.William realized, albeit late, that the worm from which Comrade was rushed was stronger. He frowned for a moment but decided that it didn't matter to him. After killing this early bronze-level worm, he would still have time to help Comrade.When William reached the last fifty meters, he activated his bloodline power and movement technique. As in the previous one, he moved to kill quickly, using all his strength in one go.However, just as he was about to attack, he encountered an attack he had never seen before. These bronze rank creatures naturally had some intelligence and had learned their lessons from the three iron rank friends who had just died. Two Gigantic worms were standing side by si
After a few minutes, William felt he could use his legs now and stood up. The previous stabbing sensation and great numbness had slightly healed. He thought it would be okay for him to move for now.Baldur was still quickly changing barrels. He was constantly removing the filled ones and placing the empty ones.These two worms had become extremely tough rivals for them. These two bronze-rank worms seemed to know how to use their bloodline power and were skilled at it. Not only that, the two collaborated well and shared their talents with each other, just as Arthur and his students did. The conclusion to be drawn from this was that they should have been more careful in the future.He also thought about it while he was recovering. Some creatures had magic-style things they could do even before reaching a certain level. Examples would be the Fire Swallow and the Sand Snake, which live in the warm parts of the island. These fire swallows, at the bronze level, could
The pack of wolves brought the trio into the valley of the wolves. By now Comrade and William had a little more rest. Baldur was already in good condition.The moment the silver rank wolf knocked Baldur off his back in front of the cave, he quickly fled. He probably went to rest. He kept swearing to himself that he would never help this fat man again.The trio arrived at the cave that William had previously used. Here, William also saw the ruby horse. It was still trembling in the corner of the cave.William told Baldur he needed to rest. He had to be at his best. Baldur did not refuse. He agreed, and after seeing the darkening air, he began to rekindle the campfire inside the cave that William had lit earlier. He then removed several pieces of meat from his dimensional piece. These few pieces of meat were more than the deer William and Comrade had eaten together.Meanwhile, William and Comrade were also hungry. They joined him at dinner. Then they contin
The next morning, everyone woke up early. It allowed them to have a perfect sleep as the spiritual power in this region of the island is more intense. William had woken early in the morning and had come to the entrance of the cave. He was watching the wolves that had just woken up.At that moment, he made a decision. He would not return to the academy until he had advanced to the bronze level. Because he didn't need it. He thought he could send word with Baldur. After gazing for a while at the beautiful, refreshing view of the valley of wolves, he spoke to himself and turned inside. “I should have taken a lot of drinks with me.”Once inside, he lit the campfire again, which was dying out. Meanwhile, Baldur awoke. The two of them had small talk. Meanwhile, a bronze rank wolf dropped a large deer at the entrance of the cave and left. The deer this time was not a very special deer. It was just a normal deer. But it was enough for them for breakfast.Com
