Arthur charged again, this time his speed was more than a little bit faster than before. A smile appears on his face as he suddenly yeeted himself directly at the Lionake, his sword gripped tightly.

"Die!"

Arthur spun himself mid air, using his strength to drag his sword to follow his momentum. His whole body exploded with energy as he spun his blade mid-air to attack his enemy.

The Lionake had already regenerated half of his face, and had completely regenerated all wounds it had on it's scales. Arthur deduced that it must be tired, and he could take it down easily.

The Lionake raised it's hands quickly and slashed at Arthur with it's massive claws, it's aura still wild and crazed with rage. Slithering away with it's regeneration nearly complete— it opened it's mouth and roared madly.

Arthur's pupils shrank into needle points as the ripples caused by the sudden paw attack from the Lionake took form into massive claws. It was able to easily teae through the air as it flew to Arthur.

“That? Do you think that will stop me? I'll put you down here!” Arthur roared as he watched himself spin into the ripples ahead without even bothering to stop. No more mistakes! He can't make any more mistakes!

[Strength and Defence, raised by 10%]

'I finish it here… No matter what! No one gets to die here, no one wastes their life for my selfish goal!' Arthur roared as his body transformed, becoming a wild torpedo as he spun ahead.

"Damn it!" Aaron cursed as he tightened his grip around his daggers, "We should take this chance and escape immediately!"

"Stop thinking with your lower half moron. It has a very fast speed, and it would be able to bring us down." Felicia lowered her bow as she took a step back and began to regain composure, "All of us will die here if the Lionake is not destroyed."

Suddenly, Felicia raised her bow and released a wild torrent of arrows at the Lionake. The arrows turned into blinding beams of light as they shot through the Lionake, blasting apart it's scales.

Felicia kept firing arrows like a war machine, not stopping to rest even for a second. The waves of arrows tore through the Lionake, leaving various deep wounds all over it's body.

Arthur roared as the ripples tore across his body ruthlessly, leaving numerous thick gashes all over his skin. His injuries bled uncontrollably, but he did not dare halt his advance - instead, he picked pace and spun even faster.

The stunned Lionake was unable to see, and was still struggling to regenerate the wounds Felicia leaves on it. Being blind and stressed at the same time, it was unable to defend itself in time.

Arthur turned into a whirlwind of light as he tore through the Lionake, ripping through bones and flesh as he split the Lionake in two perfect halves.

Arthur didn't stop there. He turned into a blur as he launched another assualt on the split halves of the Lionake. He didn't even blink as he tore apart the halves completely with his blade.

As soon as he was done, the Lionake fell apart in a delayed explosion of blood and mutilated flesh that sprayed all over the cave walls and Arthur's body. Everyone who watched were stunned.

"Monster." Aaron muttered in shock as he stared at Arthur. His hands were trembling slightly, and he noticed it. Aaron didn't believe they could have survived something like that… He was stumped.

Arthur — soaked in the blood of his kill, and ridden with wounds — seemed to have become true a demon lord of hell in the eyes of all the others. Although he was completely drained.

"Heh." He muttered to himself as he staggered away from the dead Lionake. He had broken his arm in his display earlier, and winched anytime he accidentally moved it - even slightly.

"Unlike before — I didn't let anyone die when I am unable to do something. Heh, I feel so stupid now. Of course things are going to change now."

Arthur smirked.

"I'm not the naive hero of the past. Although I'm still as weak as a broomstick compared to the others — I am definitely not as stupid as they are."

The others he referred to was the dragons of his clan — his extended family from his father's side, and the entire village of void dragon candidates in general. He believed he could change things now. He could make a difference.

"Are you okay Arthur?" Lilith asked as she ran over to assist Arthur with her brows knitted, "I will try my best to heal you. But the expedition would be delayed by another hour or two."

"I know — cough! It's my act of foolish bravado that got us in this situation." Arthur forced a smile as he felt his broken ribs rubbed against each other, leaving him unable to cry or shout.

"Well, you should sit down and let me take care of you. Try to get some rest while I'm at it, you don't seem to be in the best shape for any more battles,"

Lilith smirked as she helped Arthur to a wall, and watched him sit down hesitantly. She bent down and casted a simple [Healing] buff on him, before opening her mouth to speak again,

"When we're done with all the battling and stuff, I guess we could go out and eat together sometime. That is, if we are all okay with a short camping trip that doesn't involve getting ourselves killed."

Arthur forced a smile, then chuckled dryly before letting out a dry coughing fit. He felt a bit strange in this scene. He had never actually gone out with them before in his past life, since they died here.

In the past, he mourned their death like an idiot for months. Why? It was something he could have actually averted, and just a single moment of that demonic blankness - cost him their lives.

Of course, they would have become a fierce thorn in his backside in the past, and they would have ended him long before those skeletons. Although, he actually doesn't know if it's the case.

Arthur lifted his hands to his face. He stared at it deeply, watching as it healed slowly under the green radiance he sat under. He was completely silent and motionless.

‘Why should I bother about these issues at this time? I should…’

His eyelids grew heavy, and so did his hands. He was getting tired and weak, so without giving it much thought, he lowered his hands as his eyes began to shut slowly. All his muscles loosened at that moment, and his consciousness faded away.

‘…rest.’

——

‘It should've been minutes now…’

Arthur's eyelids twitched as his consciousness slowly awakens to a vast darkness. He was just about to open his eyes when the darkness was banished by an outburst of blue light.

[Beep Beep!]

'Eh?' Arthur thought to himself as he focused all of his mental energy on that screen. As soon as he had done that, he blinked

[Fatigue - 80%]

[Tiredness Eased][All negative buffs removed!]

"What now?" Arthur muttered out loud with his hand supporting his head as he struggled to get up from where he sat on. As soon as he stood up straight, his eyes began to focus.

The others seemed to be fighting the wandering lionakes who must have detected the party just a few minutes after he had fallen alseep.

The lionakes were shorter - reaching just five to six feet tall - and obviously weaker than the guard with their pathetic defence and so-so offence.

They were barely able to scratch the coordinated efforts of the elite group, and were easily taken by the team with just an average amount of effort.

"Huh? Drake is close to levelling up?" Arthur tilted his head over as he blinked twice out of shock, "Just how many of these fodder did he destroy to gain that much XP?"

Watching them silently from afar, he decided not to interfere. Arthur simply walked to a corner and began to practice his swords skills, hoping to gain even a single level up for any one of his skills.

"Heh." Arthur sighed and he shook his head, then loosened up hisbody as he brandished his sword dexterously. He wasn't stupid, and not blinded by his greed or lust for battle.

If they continue with their current strength, they would be wiper out by the boss. If they aren't very careful, leaving this place alive with their current strength would be very difficult.

Well, unless they don't want to advance pass the gates and further into the dungeon. These kind of high level dungeons can be very rewarding, but also very dangerous. Especially for the students.

"Haha! It's been a very long time since I had this feeling!" Arthur stopped swinging his sword, and grabbed his chest. His heart was beating strongly, as if it would burst out any second.

"If the Lionake Guard had grown this powerful in such a short time, how powerful would the boss have grown?"

    The team were already a few dozen metres into the dungeon, encountering nothing but pathetic Lionakes. The Lionakes yielded very little XP, which amounts to nothing to the team. As of now, only Drake had levelled up. Lilith and Aaron were at the bottle neck, and Felicia was not even close to levelling up. Arthur only engaged in one or two skirmishes, hence, his paused advance. He was close to his bottleneck, but since he had not much kills except the guard, he couldn't level up. Arthur had promised himself to breakthrough to the next level, and he is still disciplining his tired self to get active and advance. "Arthur, you haven't been taking down any of the Lionakes. Aaron has been stealing most of your kills for a long while now." Felicia threw a glance in Arthur's direction, and raised her brow, "Are you okay? You still look a bit pale." Arthur blinked, then hacked down a Lionake with his brows furrowed. The Lionake granted him just 100XP, a simply pathetic sum for someone l

    Arthur hid behind a cluster of dead shrubs and rocks, assessing the situation before him with a frown on his face. After a few seconds of watching, he glanced at a frozen Lilith who was crouched besides him. Stunned, he raised his hand and tapped her lightly on her shoulder. She woke up from her daze instantly, but didn't make a sound. As soon as her brain processed what had happened, she grinned awkwardly. Arthur shook his head and went back to surveying the monsters closely. The two Lionake Hunters and Stone Hooves seemed to be in some sort of strange haphazard formation. The Lionake Infantry crawled around aimlessly, but seemed to be at elevated alert. A dungeon is divided into four parts — The Gates, The Domain, and The Boss Chamber. Clearing an entire dungeon could take from hours, to weeks or months of endless battles and deaths. Each dungeon having it's own unique monsters and castes. Dungeons are classified into 7 levels — E level, D level, C level, B level, A level, S le

    Drake's sword connected, and in a flash of light tore through the rocky neck of the monster! The head of the Stone Hooves was severed from it's body, and fell to the ground with a thud. "It's dead!" Drake exclaimed as soon as the head of the beast rolled down to the ground and came to a slow halt a few metres away. His palms were sweaty, and his back aching, but he still marched on! He dashed towards the other monster and hacked at it's neck with his skill still active. Unlike before when he was unable to harm the Stone Hooves, he could finally slash them! Soon, the two Stone Hooves were dead and their death earned Drake a total of 3000 XP! It was a large sum for such weak kills. It was only this easy because Aaron told him about their weakness. If he had not known, killing the monsters would have been nothing short of a miracle. Not only were they as durable as the guard, they were also stronger than normal peasants. The group began their advance, running into a few more

    Arthur regrouped with the others at the doors to the final dungeon. His body was ridden with a few wounds and bruises, but he was still as strong as a bull! Although, he couldn't enter the dungeon in his current state. Lilith had to heal everyone, then drink just a few Sun Vials to regenerate her Supreme Qi. After she was done, Lilith had everyone drink it except the resistant Arthur. She didn't bother persuading him, as Sun Vials were precious — even to her. "Okay danger alert. This domain we are about to waltz into is rated as a B rank by me. For a good reason that is." Arthur sheathed his sword and crouched, lowering himself so he could hunch over and touch the ground. Everyone seemed to be shocked after Arthur's revelation, particularly Aaron whose eyes shrank to needle points the second he heard Arthur. He seemed completely confused and a bit angry. Despite their mixed feelings, all of them did not say a word and just watched Arthur with flaring nostrils. Aaron's eyes seem

    All the bones in his body seemed to have snapped at that moment, the pain he felt spiked and his aura was transformed from a calm shade of silver to a raging storm of wind, dust and aura. He felt as if all his muscles were being tugged on by a thousand angry babies, his veins seemed as if some unseen force was pulling them apart! It room him all his strength to swing his sword, to bring it down upon the enemy and finalize the battle. Or so he thought… Arthur's eyes widened as his sword crashed into the head of the the Iron Hooves Boss, and snapped! Pain engulfed Arthur as the rebound force from the strike travelled across his body in waves! His head seemed as if it was about to explode, and his limbs went limp. He was unable to guard himself, and all he could do was watch as he crashed into the walls of the domain. Breaking his back and all the bones in his body. [Awakening, Failed!] "Failed?" Arthur slid weakly down from the crater on the wall he created with his back, blood str

    Arthur dashed towards the boss monster, glaring into it's eyes as he weaved through the metal spikes which were fired at his face. He seemed determined to attack the monster without holding back his strength. Any metal spike he was unable to dodge, he punches them without hesitation! His punch coupled with his azure flames, would shatter the spike and send the shards flying to scattered directions! The power behind each of his punches were powerful, just a single strike now would deal ten times his usual damage. This also meant it drained ten times the SQ a usual attack would drain. "Heh heh!" Arthur's eyes gleamed in a demonic light as he leapt towards the Iron Hooves, brandishing his flaring fist as his aura exploded to shroud the entire arena in a sea of majestic azure flames. “Self Taught Azure Art — Azure Hell Fist!” All the heat in the atmosphere was sucked into his fist the second it was thrown out, causing the heated temperature of the area to descend into a freezing

    Arthur was sure his single attack was going to rip the target apart without fail - it was one of the many skills he'd honed throughout his past lifetime, and armed with that knowledge, beating the monster should be nothing more than child's play. Should, in the sense that there was a chance all his plans would go down the drain the minute he drains his Supreme Qi and exhausts both his body and soul during the heat of battle. His final attack, a simple looking descending claw strike - ripped into the boss monster's defense with zero effort and resistance. Numerous blasts bloomed at that moment, tearing further the boss's wounds. After letting out a roar of madness, the Iron Hooves kicked Arthur away from itself, then with it's body still shrouded in azure flames, quickly activated it's [Zero Damage Zone]. Arthur's eyes narrowed as soon as he'd noticed this, crashing his land a few metres away due to his lack of energy after his last attack. Although the monster had deflected t

    After one successfully awakens from their state of limited ascension, their true internal Qi is formed, and they are able to choose a path of ascension for themselves. Arthur continued coughing up blood with his back hunched over. All the external wounds he sustained had been healed, but his organs and bones were still not healed. He could feel broken bones piercing into his innards, and could only cough out in pain. Every soul has alternating requirements needed for an awakening, and this was based on that character itself and how the awakening would affect it. Most awaken through the excitement of battle or sudden explosion of pent up emotions from the soul. Some awaken through intense pain and anguish, and fewer awaken through pleasure and excitement. There are some overpowered prodigies that even awaken in their sleep with little physical and mental simulation. No matter how one awakens, they would undoubtedly suffer backlashes from breaking through the wall that surroun

Her face was vibrant and she was brimming with energy and excitement. "…" Syx turned her head to face Rylex, staring at the side of the goddess's face. Her glowing eyes flashed as she collapsed into the sea of thought, and in a flash, her expression went blank. "It won't be long until he starts to feed me more of his stronger followers, each of them as a probe to guage my strength."

    Mylos clung unto the walls of a tall building, gazing past the massive fence to view the plethora of houses before him. With his demonic vision, he was able to see objects metres away as if they were just an inch away from him. "Just a few hunters patrolling by that alley to the west. I should be able to avoid them if I'm careful. What I need now is a place to stay the night." Mylos spoke softly with his head bowed in thought, and brows knitted. In his bag, he had some “credits” which humans deemed useful for transactions. He calculated having enough for more than a few months of rent, but decided on paying for just a few nights since he would be mobile. "I can also last some weeks more without any food, but I'll be forced to find a meal if I get too weak from these hunger pangs."

    A young boy ran briskly through a forest with a frown on his extremely handsome face. He was wearing a plain black hoodie with the hood pulled over his head to cover his hair. Strapped to the side of waist was a sword still in it's sheath. Everytime the boy's feet landed on the ground, he would appear metres away in the distance like a phantom without even leaving an afterimage. It was as if he was using a strange version of teleportation. Chasing after him was a blue haired girl on a bike were a crop top and a short shirt. A large claymore was strapped to her back, but it wasn't sheathed, boldly displaying it's blade. The dark grey blade of the claymore which was riddled with glowing green runes gave off an intimidating and dangerous vibe to whoever set their eyes on it. From the size alone, one could only imagine how powerful the wielder must be to have the ability to use it in a battle. The forest today was exceptionally quiet except for some tweets from the scarce birds f

He seemed anxious, but did not give himself away with any strange action. "Father, I—" The Chaos Eminence waved his hand, causing Mylos to shut his mouth and look away. After he had given his son the signal to shut his mouth, the Chaos Eminence drops his hand and laid it upon the table between them. "Don't bother yourself…" The Chaos Eminence sighed as he closed his eyes and laid back in his seat, "A large number of them had attacked the building you told me you would hide in. I guess, that was a very smart move." "No father. This has gotten to something beyond what I am able to handle." Mylos cut in after listening to all his father had to say, his brows still furrowed as he was still in deep thoughts, "I believe you know what I saw there."

    “Clang!” Dancing under the moonlight, the sparks of their blades clashing lit up the scattered shadows. Blood was sprayed all over the auditorium walls, and charred markings were blasted all over the exquisite ornate doors. Dead bodies lay on the ground — most mutilated, while some were burnt to a crisp. Their swords were shattered and their armour rent with claw marks over the metallic surface of the metal. “Clang!” In this blood soaked scenery. The duo clashed without a second of relent, their attacks and counterattacks looked perfectly synched — fluid and graceful, without a second of hesitation or stagger, nor a shred of relent. After seconds of clashing fiercely, they pulled away and gave some space for breathing. Finally, the faces of both swordsmen were revealed as the gleam of the moonlight shone on them. "Haha! Sword Eminences are truly annoying creatures, I don't even have the chance to breath." Standing in the moonlight with his head slightly bowed, he grinned

    Mylos had gotten himself accustomed to the relentless attacks from demons. He believed that they were drawn to his hidden ability somewhat, and must want it for their worthless selves. He could do nothing about it. "I have been promised ten thousand gold Yreo for your wretched head, youngling. It's a shame I was too late in reaching you, or you would have made me easy gold to last more than a few years." Mylos smirked coldly as he held his sword, not making a move as he scrutinized his opponent. Alas, his little head carried a heavy bounty which numerous hunters gunned for despite his status and reputation. For that only, he'd been constantly attacked by troupes of hunters in unison with the demons after his ability. He had never been allowed to rest with their targets behind him, and had been killing attackers left and right. Although he never thought that the demons would also gain a reward for hunting him. He believed that only the hunters from other dumb races were after his

    Silence. The winds were agitated, and so were the steeds risen by the Imperial Flame Army. The vast plains was shrouded in an icy mist, and one could spot a few decapitated bodies scattered throughout the battlefield with a few limbs torn off. Holding the reins of his humble steed, Yin Huo who wore an emotionless mask, cast his gaze over the vast horizons. After a few seconds, he finally stabilised his armoured stallion was. "Esteemed Southern Commander, Yin Hou! We have already received estimates of the enemy's total forces." A short and stout bearded man who rode a dark stallion inched over and whispered in Yin Hou's ears, "The army seem to be marching over in this direction…" Yin Huo paused. His emotionless eyes suddenly began to flicker with a righteous light, and from those short flickers were birthed wild flames. "Heh." Yin Hou opened his mouth to speak in a deep and cold voice, his gaze held over the vast horizons, the plains devoid of human life or activity.
