Arran was positively beaming with delight. He had completely forgotten about his earlier motivation. His current mood was as if he had been injected with chicken blood and could go ten rounds with an experienced courtesan.In a good mood, Arran turned to Veil and smiled at her.“Hey Veil, I remember I haven’t gotten a chance to try out your abilities yet. How about it? Want me to take you for a spin?”At this request, Veil’s face lit up with excitement and her blood-red eyes shone with a fervent light.In a hurry, Veil answered, “Yes, yes, yes!”“You don’t know how long I’ve waited, big brother. Seeing little brother get a go with you before made me really jealous. Now it’s finally my turn.”“Hurry, big brother!”“Alright, I get it. Get ready.”Arran smiled. He could understand Veil’s excitement because honestly, he was excited too.Feeling the anticipation of testing Veil’s abilities, Arran quickly said to Zaburi.“Sorry 'Zab', I’m gonna make use of your sister for some time. Hope yo
Wielding Veil, Arran was a reaper on the battlefield, his swings carrying out a mass culling of his enemies' lives, leaving only broken bodies littered around the battlefield.The screams of Arran’s victims as they succumbed under [Dark Curtain]’s beam mixed with the war cries of the other warriors who sought death at every waking moment, creating a beautiful symphony for the coming herald of death.The battlefield in the reality dungeon seemed to be divided into two sides. On one side were all the warriors, fighting for no reason at all. And on the other side was Arran, who seemed to have pitted himself against everybody else.Arran’s wanton slaughter drew the other warriors' attention. They all flocked to him like bees to honey, each driven by an insane madness to kill him.As for Arran, he sheared through the attackers like he was reaping wheat, every swing of Veil’s blade leaving an open clearing before Arran as broken bodies were sent flying. But without hesitation, more people w
Along with Arran’s breakthrough to another realm, a new opponent who could use an actualized concept to attack had appeared. This new change in the reality dungeon provided Arran with the perfect opportunity to fight other concept users and make up for an aspect he sorely lacked in.With a more powerful opponent, Arran was really looking forward to the battle ahead.Arran’s thoughts did not distract him from evading the bone spears that were intent on skewering him.With nimble steps, he evaded every bone spear before they could even break through the ground.The same could not be said for the other warriors on the battlefield. These unlucky warriors who were minding their own business were drawn into a calamity, not of their own making. Pale white bone spears with frightening power broke through the bloody earth and pierced through the bodies of everyone in the way.Upon their deaths, the warriors fell to the ground only to become nourishment for the concept users' power. Arran watch
Since he started using Veil in the reality dungeon, this was the first time Arran was seeing her blade being blocked. The surprise caught him off guard and he couldn’t follow through with his attack immediately.By the time Arran came to his senses, the concept user had increased the distance between them. At the same time, faint cracking sounds came from the red bone wall.Alarm bells ring inside Arran’s head. Quickly, Arran shifted his foot and backward. But he was still a little late. No sooner had Arran retreated than the red bone wall immediately exploded.Boom!Arran’s body was rocked by the force of the explosion as he was sent flying back faster than when he retreated. At the same time, the force of the explosion was accompanied by bone fragments that blew at Arran like shrapnel.Not minding what was behind him, Arran swung Avril in a wide arc. Using [Dark Curtain], a black beam flew at the bone fragments, causing them to explode upon contact.The sever property of [Dark Curta
Arran had been right about one thing. The concept user could not use the red bones easily. Not once during the chase had he used the red bones to deal with Arran, even though there had been many chances to do so. He also hadn’t used any other types of bones other than the pale bones. This proved the guess Arran had before.But as things stood, the concept user wouldn’t need to do anything and Arran wouldn’t be able to harm him at all. So now Arran decided to do something else for a change.Previously, Arran hadn’t wanted to use any other powers in this fight. He had wanted to see how well he would fare against another concept user with his base strength that wasn’t boosted by other powers.From the looks of things, Arran was still a bit weaker than ordinary concept users.Arran called the goblin looking concept user ordinary because his concept didn’t feel very powerful to Arran. It was just controlling bones that had lost all trace of life force and using it to sneak attack others un
With the strengthening of his concept and the addition of soul burning, Arran was like death incarnate on the battlefield.A feeling of power filled Arran like a storm. To Arran now, it was like the world was in the palm of his hand as his eyes grasped everything without hindrance. This feeling was so intoxicating that Arran could not get enough of it.He was positively beaming!Arran did not dwell on the new sense of power in him. With a leap, he effortlessly sailed across the distance, his speed much faster than before.Sensing danger, the concept user tries to move. But before he could react, Arran had already appeared before him like a ghostly apparition.Panic filled the concept users' eyes as he watched Arran swing his blade's edge at him.Fortunately, the concept user was always prepared for such sudden attacks that were beyond his reaction time.A wall of red bone quickly rose up from the ground to block in front of the concept user.Ting!Another soft sound of collision like
From the ground, a painful scream drowned out every noise on the battlefield and a pillar of light shot into the sky from the crater in the ground. A powerful will that was riddled with madness and thick killing intent soared along with the scream, a sign of the overwhelming pain and rage of the owner.In the sky, Arran smiled in contentment. As expected, the concept user was not dead yet. He still lived, and his anger and killing intent were much greater than before. This gladdened Arran as he looked forward to a more interesting fight.From his place in the sky, Arran’s eyes zoomed in on the crater. Inside, he could see a mass of black flames burning on a blackened object. The object curled in a crumpled heap as its body spasmed with the flames burning in it.This crumpled heap was the concept user who had managed to survive Arran’s last attack by some miracle.But right now, he was no longer the same as he was before.In the crater, the concept user’s flesh and blood were gone, bur
Fuck!Arran jumped out of his bed in agitation, his mouth spewing a slew of curses, speaking of the injustice of the entire world.He had just died in the reality dungeon in what could be considered his most embarrassing death ever.At the final moment when Arran had been about to kill the concept user after a long battle, he had actually failed because the concept user blew himself up at the last moment.Arran could still remember what he shyly referred to as a smile tugging on the skeletal mouth of the concept user.Arran said mouth because, well, the concept user had no lips and it was probably Arran’s imagination when he thought he saw him smile. But Arran was definitely certain that the soul fire in his hollow sockets that had dimmed to an almost fizzled-out flame had been mocking him when the concept user had looked at him just before blowing himself up.But this was not what rattled Arran and make him curse at the world. The reason for that was that Arran had fallen for the old
