As expected. It was pitiful. Not as magnificent as he last saw it, but he was not complaining. This was still the beginning after all.
His strength was 6,6.It had to be known, 0,1 was the average number here. And even then, that represented half a ton of strength. Crazy.Modern humans had below average strength for this world, but second and third generational humans surpassed the norm.The former had a ton of strength, thus 0,2 points on strength initially. And the latter had ten tons of strength, hence 2,0 points on strength. Qualitative difference between the two.Then there was Damien, who could lift up an oak tree with his bare strength alone. Of course, even he found that a tiny bit difficult, but not impossible.He had the strength worth almost thirty five tons. Approximately thirty three tons of strength. Which was 6,6 points on strength.With the 50% added effects, his strength became almost fifty tons.He stopped in his steps, and threw himself aside. This opened up enough space for the spear to flash past him, tearing through the wind. But what he did not take into account was the ability of the angel. After all, he never fought it during his trials, hence it was a new experience for him too. All angels he fought, were full-bred angels, at the Third League, with multiple Abilities and immense Holy power. Not... this. Woosh~ Just as he dodged, and the spear was about to hit the ground, the angel appeared besides it. No!! It replaced the spear. It shifted its position with that of the spear, and appeared where the spear previously stood. And it had long folded its fist. ...!!! Damien was caught off guard. And Juliette was beyond shocked. "..." And the angel ignored all of that. It just punched out. Pure. And simple. No fancy moves, or fancy words. Just a straight
And instead of outstretched claws, he had a powerful fist packed up behind him. One capable of ending life. But the angel was quick on its Wits. It immediately rolled back and avoided being pinned down. It knew that such an action signified immediate death. Big brother missed his target, and his fist easily tore through the soft, air-like clouds. Yet he was not bothered. And he was still faster. He immediately fixed his posture after he missed his target. And he fixed it by throwing yet another punch at the angel. This was an important moment!! I felt like time took a rest. Everything flowed ever so slowly. I immediately ducked, and crouched down. It was an instinctive response from both my body and mind. I don't know why I dodged though. My instincts and intuition were far before me, as I moved without processing every movement. And the moment I crouched down, was the exact moment that big bro
I think we are bit too close, but I would not mind being even closer than we currently are. I blinked my eyes in confusion, lost in his. "With that gaze, you're definitely alright." He said and gently lay me down. A moment later he stood up and casually walked towards the angel. "..." I was still a bit blank minded, and just absently stared at his back. I felt the feelings of loss when he put me down. Anyway, he was going to finally kill the wretched angel. I thought after a moment. But... A moment later, I realized that the same 'wretched' angel, was actually staring down at its chest. Or to be precise, the hole on its chest. "..." "..." Not only it, I was also surprised. When did that happen? I thought. My eyes hurriedly shifting towards big brother Damien who was walking casually towards the angel. Did... did he actually..? Oh wow. My Damien is actuall
Juliette once again nodded obediently. Damien smiled and gently rubbed her head. "Which is why, I want to ask you. Would you prefer us going two on one against these fellas." "Or... would you want to test your own strength as well?" He said, slowly and calmly. The angel was his opponent. Hence he had defeated two trials so far. And he was still not aware of his limit. Then there was Juliette, who still had two more trials to partake in. In short, even if he pit himself around her level, and say that he had a total of three trials, they still had three opponents to fight. Minus one The next coming trial in a few seconds could be ignored. Hence, there were two more opponents. At minimum at that. Plus, Juliette also required to mature, combat wise. So he proposed, looking forward to her thoughts, and what she preferred. "You... you want my opinion?" Juliette confirmed as she looked at Damien with bright eyes. They we
*** Juliette Silver *** I closed my eyes as instructed, and focused solely on my breathing. The act itself was not hard, hence I was able to do it no problem. My heart relaxed. My thoughts clean. My breathing normal. It was just as I was instructed. And I could see some progress. "..." At first, I could see nothing but darkness. It was normal for anyone who closed their eyes. But next, I began to see a blue spark. It was not far away from my consciousness, yet felt like it was unreachable. At this point, my mind was blank. And the only thing I could focus on was the blue spark. Come~ I beckoned at it. I know it was a strange action. And I don't know why I called out to it, but I felt the need to. Like a mother affectionately calling upon their child. I thus called again... Come~ ... It ignored me. But I was not disappointed, nor disheartened. I
*** Narrative *** Damien watched as Juliette walked towards the spirit. His expression was null, or rather stoic. But deep within his eyes, was a blazing will of curiosity. He knew her too well. She might not have had the constitution to be a warrior, or had the determination to be one back then, but now, she did. The circumstances they were sorounded with, and exposed to the past thirteen minutes, have changed her. As well as the enhancement from the level ups. Her body was now pretty much stronger than even third generational humans. She also had the wonderful new power of Mana. Adding on the teachings she had from his parents and himself, she was at least capable of self defense. Of course, even fighting to an extent. Thus he was not that much worried. Especially so, when the opponents here did not have much experience themselves. In simple terms, this was the newbie stage, and she would be alright. <
And there, one could actually see a small twirling of tornado-like nigh-invisible force. It was light blue in color, and threatened to materialize on her hand. 'Such... exquisite Mana Control is hard to come by.' He thought with a light smile. This battle was already won. It was only a matter if time. Juliette stared at the Void borne spirit vigilantly. The opponents also vigilantly stared back at her. Non moving at all. One being the other's full focus. Time felt nonexistent to them. Meanwhile, Juliette continued to gather Mana at her palm. She easily attracted Mana like breathing, the action was just involuntary for her. Just a single thought, and Mana would gush from her heart to her palm. Then she extricately guided it using her will to circulate clockwise, forming a cyclone-like twirl. Of course, such an action required plenty of Mana and focus, in which case she realized that she had a lot of it. As an Apprentice, her
[ TING!!! ] [ Your partner killed the Lvl 3 Earthborne Spirit, Barrd. You have obtained 18,15 units of Life Essece ] [ Due to being two levels lower than the opponent, your Life Essence obtained has increased by 20% ] [ Bonus effect has been applied. You have individually obtained 44,53 (45) units of Life Essence. Your partner has obtained 36,3 (36) units of Life Essence ] "..." Damien was now more than surprised. Due to believing that the Void borne spirit was the final trial, he did not focus on the time. Three minutes was long gone... It was useless anyway. Who would have known that three minutes had long gone by, and the Earth borne spirit was sneaking towards Juliette? Fortunately for them, it was swept under the explosion worth 1 point of magic damage value. And these opponents have yet to even gain this high leveled defenses. Even for an Earth Spirit, at level 3, it did not have such defense value
