[One year later]
{1st POV, Ethan}Slash! Slash! Slash!'Whol..! Whol..! Whol..![Killed 3x adapt wolves, 15000 KP, 10000XP]"Hahahaha! No matter how many times I use this move, I couldn't get enough!"Currently, I'm fighting or more precisely cutting a pack of wind wolves inside a forest. This forest is located in one of the mountain ranges of Tiamat's Island. The wind wolves have grey fur covering their body, green eyes. They are about three meters in size. They can use wind blades, they are also very agile become of wind magic. They are primarily D-rank but can achieve C-rankA whole year has gone by, I'm a lot more powerful than I was last year.

'Growl..! Growl..!'"What happened? Hehe, afraid? What you'd accept from dogs!"I teased them. Noticing they stopped jumping at me but only growl.There are a total of 12 wolves in the pack, seeing three of their members getting cut apart like tufu made them somewhat wry. So they stopped attacking without thinking. The pack was not much strong, most of them are adapts and there are only 3 master stage wolves.'Howl..!!'One of the master stage wolves howls loudly. Although they don't understand words still they understand my intention to ridicule them, by body language and facial expressions."What? You are scared? Then it's my turn to make my move."Saying this, I used my new movement technique flash steps to get near one of the adapt wolves instantly. [Flash steps: It is a movement technique that allows the user to move faster than the eye can follow. As speed is the main factor of the technique, the method is best characterized by how fast one can get from point A to point B in the least amount of steps.]Slash!!Snip! Snip!...![Killed 1x adapt wolf,5000 KP, 3450XP]The wolf got cut into several small pieces with one slice. The more I use this technique the more I fall in love with it, I always liked cutting and slicing more the breaking and tearing things apart. So, the technique is tailor-made for me. If you are wondering why I need a movement technique when I can use space magic to teleport? Then you are dead wrong. First, the instantaneous short distance movement is called blink, not teleportation, and the long-distance travel is called teleportation. The problem is I'm simply not strong enough to break the space to blink or teleport. The astral realm's space is too rigid for the current me to use any of those skills. Demigods can fight at full power in the astral realm so the atmospheric space is very durable.Second, they take a long casting time. I'm not Tiamat who uses teleportation as if walking, she has been using space magic for several centuries if not a thousand-year while I'm just a noob. I'll need some time to blink and a long time to teleport, which is not an option in the middle of a fight.'fshhh!!..fshhh!!..fshhh!!...'The other wolves didn't stay still and lunched wind blades at me from the side, only to hit nothing. With my level 6 thought acceleration, the otherwise fast wind blades appear as turtles. I easily dodged them all and countered with a series of slices, cutting two more wolves.Not wasting more time I moved to another wolf's side, it also got cut off into pieces. Then another one, then again, then again...[Killed 5x adapt wolves, 25000 KP17250XP]I can control the trajectory of the blades by my finger or hand movements according to the distance between the target and my position. However, I can slash closer targets with just my thoughts making the slice an even more deadly move. You will be cut before you know it.'Only three more left..'The only ones left are the three master stage wolves. I deliberately left them for the climax, they are my precious desserts after all~"Uuu..uuu.."The three wolves after witnessing me kill all the other wolves like pigs lost all their previous fierceness and began to bow showing their subservience. As monsters, they can instinctively feel they are not my match. So they choose the best option to stay alive become my servants."Unfortunately, I have no interest in keeping weak servants," I spoke while shaking my head and all three of them got cut into many pieces.[Killed 3x master stage wolves,30000KP, 50000 XP.Level up 1x]'Sigh.. levelling up has become a lot harder than before.'I said inwardly. Even after killing three master stages and nine adapt wolves, I still only levelled up by one."I still can not understand this technique of yours?"I heard a feminine voice from above. Even without looking back, I can recognise the identity of the woman.Looking up at the sky, I saw Tiamat wearing her signature style silver dress, looking at the corpses of the dead wolves chopped apart in hundreds of pieces. It's not the first time she said that, from the moment a year ago when I first used this move to kill a monster in front of her, she's been bothering me to explain how I did this. Left with no other choice I just said some bullshit about it. How I just use the space near the enemy to make blades and slash them apart. After that, she tried to use slice too but failed miserably still she didn't give up and kept trying, and complaint whenever she fails to use slice. After all, I never told her about the auto-adjustment feature of the slice."What can I do? I'm simply more intelligent."I shrugged at her comment and said cheekily. Earning an ominous glare from her."Are you calling me dumb? Why don't you say that to my face~"Veins began to pop over her head, as she released her aura as vast as the endless sea while cracking her fists. "No-no!..when did I say that? It's just our visions are different so you are having a hard time understanding my technique.."I shudder at the threat and quickly change my words. Even if I'm much stronger than I was a year ago. I still have nightmares whenever I recall that fight I had with her four months ago. I'm not even close to 10% of her true power. Technically I'm still adept with more base power than some of the early expert-stage as I have yet to master any force, let alone intent.{Flash back, Start}"Hahahahah!!!"Today, I am very happy as I managed to hit Tiamat on her right shoulder in a fight. Even if I didn't manage to deal any damage, I am still satisfied. She has been beating the shit out of me for more than eight months. So, hitting her even once pleased my ego."Hahaha, you are not as fast as you were before~"I said in a haughty tone, I was excessively happy to the point to think about minor details such as her major sin is pride too. And looking down on her is akin to seeking death..."Ohh~ you think I am too slow?"She asked while displaying a vicious smile. My expression froze sensing the gloomy vibe oozing out her."Than, why don't you try invading now~"She vanished from my sight after leaving those words. The next thing that happened to me would be embedded deep in my mind for years to come...She just punches me on the belly. One hit! my insides churned then crumbled to pieces. Forget about dodging
{1st POV, Ethan} "So why do you seek power? If you don't want to take any responsibility, why try so hard to become strong? I don't see the reason." The first answer that came to my mind was because I'm supposed to?..because I have the system? I have a mission to accomplish? No..! These are all the events someone else decided for me. Then why do I want strength..? "I..don't..know...?" I truly don't know. I've just been going with the flow ever since I've been reborn. I was pretty average in my past life, had no parents, just living for the sake of it. However, things changed following my rebirth, born as the only grandson of the mightiest dragon queen, bestowed with a system and incredible skills I have it all. A loving family who cherish me to the extreme, overwhelming talent, there is nothing more for me to ask. So, I never thought too deeply and went on at doing what I have been told to do, as this new life has been very satisfying. H
A heroic and stupid story at the same time. Yes, stupid! what they did I call it stupidity! There is always a better solution as long as you don't give up on searching. Yet, they choose to sacrifice their lives for the greater good. Utterly ridiculous, it all ends when you die. The moment you stop breathing its game over for you. There might be some population who might regard them as heroes, but that's only because they get to live to tell the tales while you are 6 feet under.Well, whatever it's their choice, not mine. So about the purpose she was talking about it is indeed dangerous enough for her to worry. She wanted me to kill Ardat Lili when she breaks out from the seal.Yes, Tiamat believes Ardat Lili can break the seal. No matter, how powerful Vritra and Eleanor were they are still monarch's in the end and the difference between a monarch and demigod is even greater than all the other five stages put together. So, the imprisonment can't hold her for eternity.
{1st POV, Ethan}[The next day]“So, are you gonna start attacking me or what? He-heh ...”Tiamat asked me while snickering mockingly.Right now, I'm lying face-first on the ground. Forget about fighting I can't even stand up. One day has gone by after the agreement between us. I just came to start our daily training.Right after I arrived here, I dropped over my face because of the sudden increase in gravity. Yes, Tiamat is releasing her magical powers and reinforcing the gravitational pull, making the pressure of the place increase by five times compared to regular gravity.The result? I can neither move nor stand on my feet; laying on the floor like a corpse.“Right, done playing, or is this all we are doing for today?”I asked her in a neutral tone, I was on the brink of going berserk a few times already.“Alright, alright..!!”Saying that she decreased the pressure to a relatively tolera
I'm familiar with the concept of aura; it's primarily used by human knights to combat wizards. The vast majority of mankind has relatively little mana; only one in every hundred individuals has enough mana to cast spells or learn magic. Others employ aura to enhance their overall attacks and defense. To awaken aura, each practitioner has to engage in a great deal of combat and tap into their physical body's full potential.“So, that's what aura is all about! I sense a unique energy permeating my body, as if it were a suit of armor.”My physique has indeed toughened up, and all of my physical attributes have drastically improved.“Now, what?”I asked her as she certainly has a plan, yet, she won't tell me what exactly it is.“During this period, you will understand how to improve your aura and effectively manipulate it, and your tail should materialize shortly now that your physique is approaching full maturity.Thereafter,
{1st POV, Ethan}“Grandma! … I want to go into the thousand monster island.”I pleaded with her, only to be met with a terrifying stare. Now, time for the mission impossible!The island of thousand monsters. This massive island, also known as the Monster Paradise, is located at the very end of the west sea. The island is riddled with monsters, and it is said that it dates back to the ancient era. The cause for the monsters' presence in the region is very unique. According to legend, the island is the remnant of a vast patch of land. The ancient war annihilated the rest of the island, leaving only this massive island.It's also intriguing to learn why only monsters reside here. Deep within the island exists a resentful core. According to legend, this is because too many ancient powerhouses perished in the primal war, leaving behind a legacy of regret and resentment. Which manifested into this one-of-a-kind existence; the resentful core.
“Can I, go with you? Master.”In hushed tones, she inquired. Her objectives switched from preventing me to tagging along.“No! I understand you don't like fighting. Moreover, there will be dangers I might not be able to cope with while protecting both of us.”I immediately turned her down. It may come across as harsh, but she will be a true burden. I have another purpose for visiting that particular island. Tiamat is prevented from observing anything by the so-called resentful core. She can still detect where I am and teleport if she so desires. However, because her vision is impeded, I am able to apply all of my techniques without her noticing. She'll only be able to tell what kind of magic I'm employing, but she won't be able to see my movements.The other reason is that Alizée isn't a particularly skilled fighter. She is undeniably powerful as a true dragon and storm mage. She isn't used to fighting, though. If we ever fi
{1st, POV, Ethan}“Then, I'll be on my way.”I spoke to, the two stunningly beautiful women standing behind me. They are, none other than Tiamat and Alizée. The week has come to an end, it is time to start traveling, for the thousand monsters island.“Take care, and don't go too deeper inside, the island.”Tiamat, who is wearing her signature all silver attire, spoke, in a bland tone. She has been, acting like this, for the whole week. I can guess, the reason pretty well. To be honest, I wished for a situation similar to this, to occur. This can bring me, great advantages in, my future endeavors.“Promise me, you will not do anything too dangerous, master.”Next to speak is, Alizée, in her usual blue and white maid costume. She spoke with an expression full of deep longing and concern. I smiled at her and nodd
