Reyis disappeared from the top of the mountain with a slight breeze, like a blow of wind.
As William was taken aback by his sudden departure, he heard a voice in his ear. “Come to my cave.” It was Reyis' voice.
William did as he was told. Taking Comrade with him, he went to Reyis' cave.
When he entered the cave, he realized that this cave was too small for Reyis. Even lying down, his head would touch the ceiling. It should be noted that this cave is at least seventy meters high. Reyis was a creature of the type that could now be called gigantic. He was nothing short of the Worm King.
William came up to him immediately and gave the noble salute. "Congratulations Reyis." Said.
“Hmmm. Thank you. Thanks to you." Reyis responded to his kindness. But William immediately refused.
"No. You were already ready for a breakthrough at any moment. Mine goes no further than words of motivation.” He said smiling.
Reys smiled t
William awoke from his eight-hour sleep, satisfied to the point of finding meaning in his life. This experience was too much even for him. Previously, he had had a similar or even more difficult experience when he swallowed a blood crystal for the first time. This one was just below that experience in terms of ranking.As soon as he woke up, he felt hungry again. He quickly took some raw meat out of his dimensional bag and rekindled the fire, cooking the meats. Half an hour later, when he was full, he stopped eating.When he looked at Comrade, he saw that he was not disturbed by himself, but continued to meditate and sleep. William didn't bother him.He quickly sat cross-legged next to the spring. He went into a state of meditation and began to examine his body.With a quick glance, he saw that his qi was not improved at all. But the same couldn't be said for his body. He looked a little weaker and skinnier right now, but just like Baldur, his muscles had
William stood up after testing his body's stamina and new strength. At this time, the only sad thing about his breakthrough to the bronze level was that his body was weakened after absorbing the blood crystal. His body was almost three sizes smaller than before.To others, this might have been seen as a sacrifice for strength, but William had devoted much time to shaping his body from day one. He worked day and night. Looking weak now obviously upset him.What comforted him despite this distressing situation was that he had become stronger. Moreover, there would come a day when he would become weaker by absorbing more blood crystals later on. With this in mind, he thought that he should increase the amount of meat he would eat. From now on, he would have to pay attention to his diet as well.He stood up and stretched his body. It was time for him to leave. He needed to return to academia and learn meditation techniques. Besides, he had a lot of other work to do.
When he woke up the next day, all his tiredness was gone. When he opened his eyes and looked at the exit of the cave, he saw two vicious-looking green eyes entering the cave with a large snake in his mouth.It was Comrade who came, and he had brought fresh meat for breakfast. William welcomed it and cooked it beautifully over the campfire. After they both had their fill, William said goodbye and left. He had to return to academia.After all, he didn't want to stay at the bronze level forever. This time his journey might take a few days because when he got to the academy, he wanted not only to get techniques and a new sword but also to take a swordplay lesson from a teacher.He set off alone and the return trip went smoothly. After the disturbance last time, the creatures were now taking care to move around more carefully.William did not see any changes when he reached the academy. Only, the number of students had naturally increased. He even saw some new
When William arrived at the cultivation building, he quickly rented a room belonging to the wind element and sealed its door.He thought as he sat on the cushion. Although he was excited, he would combine techniques first. He calmly decided to read Etha's second book after finishing combining.Although it was late at night, he pulled out all of the techniques and put them in front of him. First, he began to combine the sword technique. The headache he experienced with each combine was terrifying.This time, the result of combining was not so perfect. The system did not ask him to rename the technique. William was still pleased when he looked at the result.[Wisdom Of The Wind]This technique was naturally stronger than the previous execution sword. But among bronze tiers, it was lacking in attack power. It made up for this weakness with its high speed. Naturally, it required more repetition and training. While combining it with other techniques, Wi
"BOOOOMM!"William countered with his stomach, a fist that was harder than Baldur's, and felt as if it had been hit with a hammer. The sound of the fist hitting his stomach could be heard tens of meters away. However, William, as someone with bronze rank and bloodline strength, did not find this punch hard enough. It was strong, but not enough to take his breath away.At this time, the sound of this punch was heard by the injured youths waiting behind the courtyard wall. A smile appeared on all of their faces. In a moment they were sure they would see William popping out of the courtyard door, but it was not what they expected. Even after a few seconds of that sound, there was no one screaming out the courtyard door.Curious, they approached the courtyard gate. Even this act came to them with great pain. When they reached the door, their eyes widened in disbelief. Teacher Qarith and William were close to three meters apart, and William's hands were still clasped
The students watching from the door quickly dispersed as if they had seen the devil. They looked like flocks of chickens chased by a fox. Within a second, only the cloud of dust they had left behind as they ran was visible on the street.Out of the street and around the corner, they couldn't help but look at each other with fear in their eyes.The student who had smiled at William earlier spoke up. “What was that? Did William succeed? Did he hit him?"The other young man replied. By this time, the blood flowing from his mouth had dried up. “I don't know, I heard a voice but William's back was turned so I couldn't see it.”The smiling student nodded. “He must have hit. Half an hour! They fought for at least half an hour! This…sounds incredible. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it.""Really! Anyway, let's go get new quests. We'll try again later!” The other youth spoke with fire in hi
William could see each muscle of Qarith's middle-aged body moving individually. Every single muscle was active when throwing any punches or walking. His movements seemed to require tremendous effort even to walk.He took out the sword he had used last night and started making ordinary cutting movements. Indeed, behind each of his blows lay immense power. The strength of his body was fully utilized in its true sense. Every single muscle of each cut was used, from the big toe to the muscles in the face. William would not have seen any of this had Qarith not moved slowly.Right now, he was moving as slowly as he could, like a turtle before him. After a while, Qarith stopped when he saw the excited and satisfied look in William's eyes.“I call it 'mind and body one'. Even the slightest movement requires a tremendous effort at the beginning. But once you get used to it, it's just like breathing. Ambushes won't work on you, because you're already prepared. Also,
After that, it was like a diary. He had abandoned his storytelling style.Day 8: He's still chasing me. Usually, we both fly at the same speed, but sometimes he accelerates suddenly.Day 10: My Qi is running out, but he's still chasing me.Day 15: I've also finished my last few qi replenishment pills. The forest has become dangerous now. There are creatures I have never seen. Some of them are stronger than me, but since I'm fast, it wasn't a problem to run away.Day 17: I found a city ruin. It is similar to our architectural style. Hopefully, I can find something to avoid tracking. I'd even settle for a few Qi restoration pills.Day 19: He lost my track for now. This city's underground is huge! My turtle breathing technique worked, but he can still spot me if I get within a few miles of him! How unfortunate that there are no other people here!Day 21: I found something similar to the teleport array. I still have two high-level soul stones on
William didn't notice, but even his posture began to change. Now his chest was further forward and, most importantly, his nose was a little higher in the air. With his height, he began to look down on people.Worst of all, William didn't even realize it. Arrogance was slowly seeping into his blood, taking over his body without him wanting it. Since William was not aware of it for the time being, he entered the main hall of the mansion, thinking that he would show his usual behavior.He was wrong, as he thought he would only meet the City Lord. There were more than ten people in the room, and they were all sitting quietly in their seats, discussing something passionately. As soon as William and Doravoli entered the hall, the woman sitting at the front raised her hand and everyone suddenly fell silent.Then the woman stood and smiled.William recognized the woman. She was one of the three people who had helped him survive the attack of the mysterious bandit mage and complete his mission
William was watching the bedroom of a house five hundred meters away from the roof of a two-story house. His eyes and face could not be seen in the darkness of the night. But a person standing next to him might have the impression that William was deep in thought.Strangely enough, William wasn't thinking about anything at that moment. It was as if there was a black hole in the bedroom of the house he was watching, and it was sweeping everything away, including William's gaze and thoughts.William felt lifeless right now, like a rock with no IQ.'How did this happen?' William had been on this roof for two hours and had asked himself the same question hundreds of times.Doravoli and Elasha for a few minutes, thinking they would leave after a farewell kiss, but he had listened to the lustful voices of the duo for two hours.'How did this happen?' At first, everything was normal. There was no conversation that contained any suggestive hints. These were normal everyday conversations and s
Elasha thought this was the most boring day of her life. Following his sister's agreement, she was forced to come to Valimar and open new trade routes to several surrounding cities and towns. Opening these trade routes was never easy, as Valimar and the surrounding cities were surrounded by incredibly dense forests. Cutting down these trees and establishing observation points and crossing points were time-consuming tasks. And the hardest part was finding apprentice mages to work at these points.Nevertheless, she succeeded as usual because she was surrounded by hardworking people. Everyone loved her and her sister, except for a few people who didn't care much about money. If they did their job right, money would automatically fill their pockets.Meeting Enid had been a bit eventful. At first, she wanted to refuse Elura's deal, but Enid and Elura's plans gave her enough reason to be convinced.Elura had started making plans as soon as Elasha had left the White City to start the purific
"Then we agreed. I'll get you the best flame I can find. But first I have to find it, you know they are very rare." William smiled and packed up the camp. They had spent enough time here.Just as they were about to start their journey deep into the forest after packing up the camp, William felt a vibration from his dimensional bag. He immediately took the vibrating device out of his dimensional bag.It was the seal of the Expedition Organization, and it contained a message from Fabian.[Go to Valimar. Find Enid, the City Lord. She will explain everything to you].William's face darkened. Valimar had not left him with good memories. Elura named woman had been a real nuisance to him, and while he had forgotten that story, taking on a mission like this spoiled his mood.Frankly, he wanted to relax in the White City for a few months. His journey had improved him enough, and he was ready to make another breakthrough at any moment. Of course, the most important problem on his mind was Dorav
"Have you finally woken up?" Doravoli looked at the weak William lying in the shadow of the rock. He had a sad, tearful expression on his face. He was sitting across from William, gnawing at the flesh of a small creature. It was a small lizard.He had a bandage on his cut foot.William felt more tired than ever, but when he discovered that he could move his hands with a snap of his fingers and a little bit of mana, he pulled hundreds of useful items from his ring. Most of these items were healing potions and blood crystals.He spoke with difficulty, as even the movement of his jaw was painful. "Blood crystals, put some in my mouth."Doravoli was also very tired. He even hunted down the small lizard he had gnawed, using his magic only because the lizard was too close. He waved his hand and, controlling his mana, took some of the blood crystals and brought them to William's mouth. Then he used some himself.Half an hour later, William regained some consciousness. He could move a little
"Absolute Cut!" William shouted at the top of his voice, attacking the real body between the two copies with the strongest ability he had.The wind blade that came out of the tip of William's sword flew unblocked toward its original target, too fast for the two clones to react. The moment William's sword emerged, it struck the man's body. William knelt in weakness, but he still had one eye on the man. He wanted to see him die with his own eyes.When the ability hit the man, his body split into two, just as William expected, and the two clones vanished instantly. The sword in the hand of one of the copies fell to the ground as if it were a real object and not a spell."Hğğğğğ..." (Blood-filled guttural sound.) A growl came from the body of the man who had been cut in half.William barely raised his head and looked at the man's body in surprise.Two separate body parts were resisting falling to the ground. He was still standing. The six-centimeter gap between them was covered by an invi
"No matter what happens, I will be with you and we will fight together." Doravoli heard everything that was said and realized that this man was after William. Even though names like 'Storm God', 'Nicolas', and 'Nak'kato' were unfamiliar to him, Doravoli would help in any way he could because he was his friend. -He knew who Nicolas was, but he didn't understand why the man in front of him cared about Nicolas.-William bowed his head. At the slightest movement of the man, he was ready to pull dozens of potions from his ring and cast his spells. He knew that this was a classic cliché and wasn't surprised that he found himself in it, but he only remained on the dark side as to why.While William was in deep thought, the man's voice filled his ears."I...You..." Suddenly the man froze. He made incomprehensible noises and his body bent slightly. William knew this was the perfect moment to attack, but he held back, for soon the man straightened his body and showed his old smile again.He rai
"Hey Doravoli, you can't carve that wood like that!" William grabbed the flat chisel and the piece of blue ironwood out of Doravoli's hand."You never listen to what I say! Look at it again and pay attention." William began to get angry. Today was two weeks after he started teaching Doravoli blacksmithing. The two of them had almost reached the middle of the rocks. They were a little slow, but it was an acceptable pace.William held the piece of blue ironwood in his left hand and tucked it between his knees. Then he supported it firmly with his left hand and began to "float" the flat chisel on the surface of the blue ironwood with his right hand."Look, if you hold the flat chisel like this, none of the lines you make will be crooked. You have a strong body like mine, so this shouldn't be a problem for you. But you stubbornly insist on holding the flat chisel sideways, and that causes you to make little notches in the wood. Doravoli, if you want to do something of quality and worthy o
The two guarded the area for a day and had fun until the next day. The townspeople never set foot in the area because Lennard had warned them. Occasionally, a few brave official mage-level adventurers would stop by, but thanks to William's ability to throw cups, the wounds they received from hundreds of meters away, and a few minor scoldings, escaping became their priority.The next day, Fabian appeared again like a meteor over Greyscar. The way he flew was so dominant, like an unstoppable rocket. It seemed as if he could crush anything that came his way. William realized that day that Fabian's speed was even slightly faster than the strengthened Lennard.Fabian came alone. There was no one behind him, and as soon as he arrived, he looked at William briefly and then quickly examined the surroundings. He didn't speak at all, and although that made William a little uncomfortable, he didn't care. He acted the same way in the first ruin he discovered. The second time he saw Fabian, he rea
