Arthur's grip was harder than metal as it latched on to the arm of the invisible intruder without loosening no matter how hard the intruder struck it with a knife he must have had with him. If anything, the intruder's knife was chipped by the numerous futile collisions with Arthur's hand, and a pain like never before surfaced in his heart. As soon as the knife got chipped completely, he dropped it. "Trying to run away? Dream on—!" Arthur's eyes had a crazed glow to them as he kept his grip on the one intruder, then bent down to pick up a trash can from the ground, "A bird in hand is worth more than two out in the bushes." Arthur rolled the arm holding the trash can, and with as much force he could muster — hurled the trash can in the face of the archer hidden in a cluster of boxes a few houses away. The can blasted into the boxes, and the person who'd mounted himself up there was blown off the roof and left to crash down to the ground headfirst. As soon as began descending, Arthu
"Indeed, it wasn't as simple was they made me think. I think I should put an end to this game here, then I will head back home and talk with mother." Arthur let go of the [TK] and jumped down to the ground. "Huh? Who are you kid? Are you lost?" Arthur raised his hand and squeezed into a fist, then the head of the man armed with a sword exploded as blood and brain matter was sprayed all over the room. Before the second could react, Arthur disappeared in a blink and appeared seconds later with his arm in his chest. Coughing up a mouthful of blood, the poor man did not even understand how he died. "This is painful, I understand. But the fact you want to use my classmates as bait to lure me out is levels more revolting than your worthless death." Arthur dragged out his arm and cracked his neck, "I'll tear apart everyone in this building." Arthur walked up to the door, and kicked it open with zero effort as he barged into the next room. An armed man who was nearest to him dragged ou
Arthur sighed as he dropped down to his bed to rest after an extremely long night. He found the issue of the sudden attacks to be quite strange, and how the others were faring currently worried him. "Although they aren't the strongest, the two should be able to take care of themselves. This is not some crapped dungeon, if they come across any monster beyond 11 but beneath level 15, then they should be able to escape if they cannot defeat it." Lilith and Felicia who lived under tight security were relatively safe to him, since only the foolish would try attacking members of a clan under supervision. Most especially with both of them so close to awakening. But, the fact that the enemy planned to use captured family members to threaten one of his weaker allies into luring out another unsettled him. The only way for him to end this was to dig up and burn the roots. "As for those two idiots…" Arthur had tied them together in the guest room after he dragged them room, and the onl
“Boom!” Explosions lit up the sky as all the combatants battled each other fiercely, unleashing a plethora of skills into the atmosphere as they clashed. The building was half sunk into the ground already, and the ground reduced to dust after a few seconds of battling. "Advanced warlocks are quite scary to be honest. It's just so difficult imagining myself harming something as god-like as that." One of Rosetta's surviving guard praised with a gleam in his eyes as he watched. "Indeed. Immortals like that battling ceaselessly with zero attachments to the rules of the mortal world, is a sight to behold." Another chimed in with a smirk just to join his comrade in praising the fighters. “Light Heaven — Stella Destruction Descent!” Numerous beams of light literally shot down from the sky to blast into the opposing fighters, shooting most of them down with ease. Although the beams were too weak to kill anyone above Level 30, the healing of the wounds was a bit slower compared to re
Right after school, Arthur gathered the others for his short prep meeting ahead of what he'd put in place for the day. He relayed to them all he had heard without holding back any important information, laying more of his emphasis on “family” and “killings”. "You shouldn't have killed them like that, at least you could have given them a chance. None of them there were any worse than the two kids you left alive." With a cold gleam in his eyes Aaron found fault with Arthur after hearing his story, and voiced them out instantly. "No, they weren't worth keeping alive. Why? Unlike a couple of kids who would be useful to luring the huge fish out, the murderers were pretty useless even after their death." Arthur shrugged coldly, ignoring Aaron. "Don't ignore me! It isn't right to just kill people like that without hesitating for even a second!" His eyes blazed as Aaron stood up in a frenzy, "You can't just claim the right of redemption from anyone!" "I see." Arthur stood up to his fee
After a minute, the attack dispersed to reveal a single spear that gleamed before being dragged backwards by a supernatural force. As soon as it was retrieved, the owner walked towards the duo with a smile. "Hello, I'm Darwin. Nice to meet you, Arthur." Arthur's eyes widened as his body began twitching in response to the shock from earlier. His arm raised in a reflex to defend from the earlier blow felt as if a knife had been used to tear runes through it. Every muscle in his arm felt some strange unpleasant current running through them, and the feeling made his entire arm to remain completely numb. Each time he attempted to clench his fist, the feeling intensified! "You withstood my weakest attack, huh? Not bad for an absolute newbie like you." Darwin grinned with his spear being swirled stylishly in his hands. After a few seconds of flashing skills, he chuckled. “Weakest attack?” Arthur's eyes twitched as he slowly began to clench his fists, all the veins in his forehead popp
Arthur's attacks suddenly came pouring down again like rain as if he had smoked something ethereal that not just healed but excited him! Although he was still a few levels too weak to overwhelm Darwin, Arthur's attacks managed to push him back a few steps. "Huh? Interesting, you actually have gotten faster at the sight of a sword! I see, I see!" Darwin grinned as he began to counter Arthur's claws with his sword in seconds after reading Arthur. “Clang! Clang! Bang!” The sound of claw clashing with blade rang out as the duo fought without holding back anything. Gladly, not a single student had stepped out of the gates since the fight begun and since caught up in the battle would be a real drag, and for that, Arthur was grateful for their absence for the past few minutes. The ground beneath them was already cratered after just minutes of battling with dust and debris built up and accumulated from the explosions of techniques and contact between combatants. A net of attacks, defens
“Boom!” Arthur punched Darwin in the face, then kicked him in the guts — knocking him to the side. As soon as he lost his balance, Arthur chased after him and landed two more kicks before retreating. Darwin just stood with his brows furrowed as he tried his best to contain his boiling fury. The second he lost his balance, he opened up more than one weakness to Arthur for exploitation! Although the disparities in strength was large, these kind of stupid mistakes would cost Darwin more than he was supposed to pay in order to beat Arthur. “Boom!” Arthur's and Darwin's fists' collided as an shockwave shot out from the impact. Arthur just heard the sound of his bones cracking, and before he could act, he was blown back by Darwin's punch. Arthur came to a skidding halt some dozen metres away from the school gates. He was still bleeding a bucket load of blood from his wounds, but kept his stance and struggled to keep himself conscious. Should he run away? Would Darwin chase or not? I
