The long, sunny atmosphere had finally vanished after the winter season came.We continued our daily activities at our household: breakfast, mana training, lunch, mana training, afternoon snack, skill training, dinner, and once again, mana training.This had become my daily routine. Then, in the evening, I'd secretly help Nanny Helena and Father with their mana training through mana tethering.But after my father brought me to his underground training facility, I started doing nightly training.An object called Mana Defense Intermediate, or M.D.I., was properly placed on the center wall of the underground training area.The M.D.I. is also powered by mana and has the ability to form an array of barriers that can defend and withstand even an S-Rank skill.Which is basically similar to a punching bag."Son, you can use that MDI to hone your control over your skill." Damian pointed at the Mana Defense Intermediate.I felt pretty glad since there was no place in the garden that I could use
After the knight called for me, I ran as fast as I could after hearing that monster beasts were seen in front of the forest's entrance.I've always known that monster beasts tend to be aggressive when the winter season arrives, since we've been handling such disturbances for the past several years.But after we saw that thing...That thing that slaughtered my knights viciously is what truly terrifies me.My old friend, Kai Heinz If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to return home safely.But right now, that same vicious thing, which Kai forcibly dragged away further deep in the forest of Eldia, is currently standing in front of me."A Monster Beast Salamander!""How in the world did it get here on the eastern side!?""It's an A-Rank monster beast! Get away!"A monster beast Salamander, Was a huge beast, taller than the trees, completely concealed in flames as it blazed through its body continuously.Threat level: A"Formation everyone! Water Elementalists, shoot that thing!
The ferocious glare of that huge monster beast gave me goosebumps. His blazing, fiery appearance emitted an overwhelming pressure that fazed me. I was unable to tilt my body."The Adventurers are here!"Before I realized it, silhouettes of several individuals appeared above me in an instant, similar to those of the Assassins I've watched in movies back on earth.Three of them were dressed in auburn protective hooded cloaks and equipped with different types of weaponry."Enhance physical strength!" As one of them instantly threw a spear directly towards the salamander.One of them crouched on the ground while placing both of his hands on the cold floor. "Earth Bind!" While the ground surrounding the salamander shook and entangled its legs, preventing the salamander's movements.The salamander was unable to move, while the spear flew towards it with extreme speed.The salamander tried resisting the spell that bound its movements. Upon noticing the approaching spear, it immediately raised
Arthur and Damian flamboyantly demonstrated their swordsmanship as they beheaded every single monster beast that approached their way."These D-Rank monster beasts are feisty!" Arthur said.Dark Wolf is a D-rank monster beast that has an aggressive personality. Its fur was sharp and thick, but their low intellect gives them a huge disadvantage."Their numbers are overwhelming. This is the first time I've encountered such monster beasts. To recklessly attack within a large horde, I'm sure there must be something going on within the forest." Damian said in a serious demeanor."But speaking of that, your son isn't really being overwhelmed."Damian instantly took a glance towards Axel, who was continuously whipping the monster beasts into pieces from left to right."Haha, this is really surprising." Damian said."What do you mean?" Arthur asked as they both continued killing the monster beasts that stood in their way.Geld made a wall that closed them off from the roadway towards Turk, whi
"Was he spirited away?""No, it was light magic!""How could there be any elves in Turk? No elf has ever stepped foot in our kingdom after the Great War.""But we all saw it. It was clearly light magic that only the elves could possibly obtain!"The people were in confusion as they argued with each other.What had just happened?"Their minds were filled with doubt. Was it really the elves? Or was it something else?"Luke stood silently as he witnessed Alexandra and Damian on their knees, staring at the ground, which had a strange mark left by the beaming light."Where...? Where is Axel?" Alexandra uttered in shock.While Damian silently stared blankly at the ground, unable to speak a single word."Damian!" Arthur shook his shoulders.Damian turned and saw Arthur's worried expression. "Snap out of it! We need to search for your son immediately!" Arthur spoke in a serious tone.Damian could not get ahold of himself, realizing that his son was gone. Doubts filled his mind.Did that beam o
I was shocked upon hearing the Half Spider's words: I was teleported to a faraway foreign land that had an atrocious name, The Forest of Dead.Which was supposedly located on an unknown continent that I've never heard about.Was it Laplace, Laplace Continent? I guess I'm really outside of Helium. Hearing about that there were no humans in these lands..." Axel mumbled through his mind.Huh? How did I get here?" Was all he could think of.That gleaming radiant light that had struck me was some sort of teleportation spell."Or did it totally obliterate me, and yet again I got reincarnated once more?"But seeing as my outfit was still the same as before, the latter thought seems not to be the case.Axel gulped and mustered the courage to ask, "May I know your name?"The half spider stared at me and replied, "My name is Erza, young one.""Erza... Nice to meet you; I am Axel.""Axel, What a strange name.""But are you going to eat me, Erza?" As Axel asked her while shivering in both coldness
Axel has been eating the Mana fruits without realizing that he is taking his time naked."Ah!" As he yelled with an embarrassed expression."Don't worry, young one." Erza said this and turned around.She then raised her hands as threads appeared from her finger tips and slowly started performing gestures as if she were weaving.After several minutes passed, a plain white long-sleeved shirt was produced along with a pair of plain white pants."Here, wear this, young one." She said and handed him the clothes she had made.It was strange seeing her produce clothes like it was nothing. Her performance made me realize, Can I also do it with my skill?" Axel wondered and wore the clothes she gave him. They felt warm and soft."How did you make these?" Axel asked."I can make these because of my skill." Erza responded.Without considering, he abruptly asked her. "What's your skill, Erza?"Back in Helium, Axel's father, Damian, always told him not to share any specific information about his ski
Erza used her skill, thread manipulator to make a hammock swing bed for me to use. While we continuously ate Mana fruits that the Mana tree bore.While Axel also tried absorbing mana fruits and mana crystals, due to their strange principles, his absorption skill wasn't able to absorb them.The mana-rich environment also helped Axel boost the cultivation of his mana core.Erza taught him a lot about mana and his skills.Her explanations were so thorough and precise that Axel understood them easily.Due to her skill being similar to his, it made Axel doubt if he was purposely sent here to meet her or if it was really just a coincidence.Her skill thread manipulator had the same function as mine, but she doesn't have the absorption subskill." Axel mumbled in his head."Skill Status." Erza mumbled and showed Axel his skill status window.*Skill: Thread Manipulator, Skill Rank: S, Subskills Acquired: Thread Weave, Thread Hardening, Thread Sharpening*She could weave using her threads and ma
Draconian Knights viciously rushed towards Axel, surrounding him from all directions along with Mayu, who just got healed from her near-death experience.What's going on? Why are they all coming towards us?" Mayu wondered, confused, why the draconians were rushing towards their position.Axel stood and used his mana armament while tightly gripping his chained blades.Dalius instantly rained several swords coated in mana towards them, while Axel deflected the incoming swords simultaneously.*Clung!!!*Why...? Why is it so heavy!" Axel thought deeply while deflecting the swords that somehow overpowered him even with the boost of mana armament."Keke! A child is still a child, boy!" Dalius mumbled and laughed evilly.While Mayu suppressed the draconian knights with her ice skills, she completely created an ice barrier that had pointy edges and surrounded them with a certain radius.The Draconian Knights instantly halted their approach and took a few steps back, while Erza appeared in mid
Blood splattered after Gileyn stabbed Mayu's back while she lay dormant on the ground. Gileyn wore a mischievous grin on her face as her eyes shined, totally enjoying the scenery she was witnessing.While Almasin hurriedly rushed forward towards Gileyn with his mind completely blank, overwhelmed by rage after seeing her daughter getting stabbed from the back as her blood showered vividly, Almasin could only think of one thing. It was to murder Gileyn, who stabbed her precious daughter."Die!" As his claws came closer towards Gileyn, who stood off guard with her sword stuck on Mayu's back. Her smile showed hints of satisfaction, while Almasin was seeping with rage.As soon as his claws got closer to Gileyn's face, a shield barrier instantly blocked off his attack, pushing him back after the collision.Gileyn smirked, glancing towards Barto, who raised his hand towards her while facing Elder Beru.Garudo, on the other hand, was preparing; he gathered and circulated the mana inside him.
The Monster people stood in awe after witnessing the miraculous healing that Axel had shown.Healing mostly occurs over a longer period of time, depending on the wound's size. Especially a large and deep cut that Kibaki had would gradually take longer to heal, even with S-Rank healing skills."Um..."Why is everyone staring at me? I feel so embarrassed somehow." Axel pondered, Slightly showing an embarrassed expression.I never thought that a human child could possess such healing abilities. Even the Dog people who mostly acquired S-Rank Healing skills can't heal a wound as severe as Kibaki's in an instant." Almasin thought, staring intently at Axel."Please stop staring at him, everyone. He's a bit shy." Erza uttered.The monster people then started coughing and went their way, while Kibaki was still astonished after feeling regenerated from the pain he had been enduring."Um. Thank you." He mumbled.Erza then held Axel's shoulder and said, "He said thank you."Axel nodded and replie
After several hours passed, Axel and the others finally reached the center plains of the forest. The wind breezed as it welcomed their arrival. There was no one to be seen. Neither trees nor piles of rocks were seen on the vast central plains.Only tall grasses and mushed bushes were to be found in the vicinity of the entire center plains.Monster people immediately started building removable tents, while others lied on the ground, gasping heavily due to exhaustion.While those who still had the energy immediately mobilized themselves to secure the area.Axel and Erza were removing the silver platform they had used when they were approached by Elder Garudo."Hello, Thank you for helping us." Elder Garudo said politely, showing hints of gratitude in his voice."You are welcome, Elder... "Garudo, You can call me Garudo.""Oh, okay, Elder Garudo. This boy here cannot understand Laplace language, So if you want to tell him something, please pass it unto me." Erza said, Holding Axel's shou
Near the Center Plains, Azard's corpse is located.Demise, Barto, Gileyn, and Dalius stood in front of Azard's corpse. His body was slowly being connected to the ground. Vines were sticking through his skin while he was slowly being dragged into the soil.Demise trembled, showing hints of remorse in his wavering eyes. Azard was once known to be the hardest to kill due to having a unique deviant skill through which he could manifest his skill's elemental properties.But how come you still died like this...?" Demise pondered miserably, kneeling in front of Azard's corpse."Commander, we'll have to take a day to rest and replenish our mana. We've been flying for several hours continuously," Gileyn said."Barto, Dalius! Immediately bury Azard's corpse!" Demise said loudly while staring into the sky.Barto and Dalius nodded. They immediately followed Demise's orders and buried Azard's corpse in the same location where he was found."Whoever killed him, we will find them and kill them. Brea
He ran without suppression, breathing heavily while sweat dripped from his eyebrows, hinting at signs of exhaustion and fatigue. Running for several days straight without sleeping, and after a short period of rest, he must continue running again."Fuck, I feel tired." Douglas mumbled as his pace became slower due to exhaustion and being sleep deprived.Douglas knew that the beast people wouldn't bother unless they successfully reached their territory. Since Draconians won't carelessly act irrationally against the Beast people."So by any means, we must escape this forest in order to survive," Douglas murmured to himself, showing a distressful expression."Douglas! Wait up!"Douglas immediately stopped and turned around to check. There he saw Mayu, Almasin, Erza, and Axel running towards him.Huh? Why are they following me?" Douglas wondered, since he knew that Almasin wouldn't let her daughter go back to a dangerous place..........A few minutes earlier, Douglas left in a hurry."Pa
As both Axel and Erza ran with bright smiles on their faces, they unwillingly noticed that they were already outside of the forest's shade.In an open area, they stood, circling around with their heads held high, under the bright sun."We're finally out." Axel paused after seeing a man standing beyond them.Patiently standing firm in a dignified posture with his hands behind his back. His face was unclear; his silhouette was all they could see. While he exuded an aura of power and authority similar to that of a king."Who's that?" Axel asked.Erza shook her head softly and responded, "I don't know. He somehow looks like a beast man.""State your names!" The man yelled with a deepened voice, showing a hint of order."What did he say?" Axel asked, feeling dumbfounded by the man's overwhelming voice."He asked for our names," Erza whispered. "My name is Ezra, and this child is Axel." she stated in a loud tone.The man started walking towards them, only to be surprised after seeing Axel's
Two days had passed, and Mayu and Douglas had continuously run without hinting at exhaustion.We've been running for several days now. How much further could they have traveled?" Mayu pondered.I know that people who've reached the realm of the advanced stage are capable of acquiring a lot of stamina. With the help of mana, their capabilities are boosted. But seeing how their tracks are still freshly carved into the ground, I'm sure that not more than three days have passed. Especially their footprints resembled walking, just by seeing the distance of each mark they've left.Yet how come they're nowhere to be found? Could they've also been traveling at night? But a human child won't be able to travel nonstop without resting." Mayu pondered, showing a hint of curiosity."Hey, look at that," Douglas said after stopping Mayu.Mayu slowly raised her head, noticing the trees scorched to bits while burnt grass drenched the land."What happened here?" she mumbled."It seems that a huge fire
In which every step he took showed sophisticated confidence while showing an arrogant look on his face as he looked down on both Erza and Axel's existence with utter mockery.His entire body started emitting lava while steam seeped out from him, slowly making the coldness of the night succumb to hotness.Axel felt disregarded knowing that he wouldn't be able to land a hit on their opponent, knowing that only individuals capable of using mana coating can harm a skill user such as the Draconian Knight they're currently facing."Step back, young one; I'll handle this." Erza abruptly said while blocking Axel's front with her sword.Azard mischievously smiled while slowly burning the entire floor due to his lava dripping profusely with each step he took."Let's see how long you can last, you eight legged freak. Keke!" In that instance, Azard immediately rushed forward towards Erza, in which he appeared suddenly at Erza's front. Erza jumped back along with Axel, who put further distance bet
