His heart skipped seeing the monster rank. The highest rank the military has recorded was B rank, and it took an army of high-quality mage to take it down.
Henry covers his eyes immediately, he can't believe he is already seeing things. That dream was turning into reality because of the fear inside him.He opens his eyes and another screen appeared in front of him.[System guide has been activated. The system will lead the way to the monster. System reward for D rank monster; 1,500 gold coins]Henry falls to the ground with fear. Could this be real. This was precisely how the system displayed in his dream.Henry's heart beat increases as he remembers the powers of the system, there is only one way to find out.“Direct host to the monster”[System map activated]A map appeared in front of Henry, inside the map, a red dot was sparking and it was some distance away from his position which was represented with a green color.Henry's heart beat increased more, but he doesn't have any time to waste.He gets up and follows the direction, He must save his father and with the power the system promises, he believes it will be possible.His wristwatch didn't detect his current level, but he saw improvement in his magic. No wonder, Derek's fire fist had no effect on him, he has truly leveled up.Henry's cheeks tried to move, but he lacked the emotion to complete the process.He was some distance away, when he started hearing magic blast and the surrounding was intense.He could feel the auras flowing in the circle, he finally believed something had awakened inside him, since the location was correct.He entered the forrest without hesitation, the fact that somebody was fighting the monster gave him joy.His father is still alive, and he won't have to fight a D rank monster.Henry burst out from the woods and entered a free land in the middle of the forrest.His eyes widen, seeing a monster for the first time. they had the same structure as a human.His father's description was correct. They only have a mouth, the rest facial features were absence. No eyes, no ears and its color was green, although his father mentioned purple.Henry believes monster rank are known by their color, since there was no tool to detect the power level.He looks around quickly, but there was nobody resting in a corner.“Dad”Henry's voice was low. He takes a step forward and he stepped on something like a bone.Henry gazed down, only then did he realizes the area was covered with bones.he falls to his knees immediately. Monster level up by sucking out the life force of humans, even the flesh is taken, when that is completed, the human is left with only bones.Henry gazed forward quickly, and he sighted somebody besides the monster.He moves closer, and it was his father lying helplessly on the floor. He was tied down by a monster thread, which the monster uses to drain life force slowly.Henry's body vibrates seeing his father condition. He gazed at the five mage fighting the monster, they were doing nothing to recuse him, rather they were giving the monster some distance.He tries to move closer but his leg stiff due to fear, he can't move careless, this monster can kill him with one strike and besides, he is still an E ranked mage.He glanced at the mage watches, they were all C ranked mage expect the woman in their middle who seems to be their leader.She was a B ranked, level 5. Henry believes she can do something, but her next words shock him.“Let escape once the opening is clear, there is no way we can fight this monster”Henry body vibrates hearing the leader words, how can they runaway leaving a captive behind, he surge forward without control, he doesn't care about his life, he just wants to save his father. He can't believe this people call themselves mages, they intend to run away when somebody's life is in danger.Before the bounty hunters could understand, a kid ran past them.Selena's heart skipped seeing the kid marching to the old man on the floor.What is a kid doing here.her eyes widened seeing the monster positioning itself to attack the kid.“Stop!!!, Kid!!, come!!!”Henry didn't listen to them, he kept moving with tears drops from his eyes.“Dad!!”he screamed.“Shit!”Selena's teeth tighten. This is the perfect time to escape, but she can't leave a kid behind.She won't be able to forgive herself if she leaves the kid behind.“Flash step!”She appeared in front of the monster, then she used her best skill immediately.“Fire blast!”she lands a perfect hit on the monster's face, her cheeks moved seeing that. The monster must've been distracted by the kid, but her celebration ended quickly.The monster seized her hands and threw her in the air, and it direction changed to Henry.“Protect the kid”Selena manages to mutter before her back smashed the ground.They know they can't fight the monster, their only hope of surviving is by running away, but this kid had to ruin their chance.“Earth wall; Double solid!”The earth mage among them created an 8 feet (2.44 meters) fence that separated Henry from the monster, before the monster could break through, one of them used flash step three times to capture Henry and bring him back.“Let me go”he muttered as he came back with the mage. Henry struggle with him.“Let me go, that's my father”he tries to break free, before they could respond to him.the monster screamed.Everybody covered their ears, including Henry.the scream was ear spitting and heart gripping.[Monster has been angered][Monster has entered full mode; monster has activated Aura pressure]immediately the system finished.Everybody falls to their knees except Henry, who was already sleeping on the floor. His body was magnet to the ground.The pressure was overwhelming, and the air was more intense than before.“We are dead”one of the mages started crying. The monster has been playing with them, now it has entered full mode, at this moment they can't escape. It's all because of this kids.Tears drops from his eyes, they are the B team of the Red skull, they came here to unite with the first team only to find out, this monster had sucked them all.They are only kneeling because of their magic tools, which enhanced their physical strength and stamina, they would be on the floor, if they weren't wearing one.“Thud”“Thud”The monster's footsteps were making heavy sounds.“we are going to die!!”Selena appeared in front of them. Their cheeks moved up, seeing her. She is B ranked mage and her level is five, which means you can use a mega skill.A mega skill would at least weaken the monster and buy them some time to escape.“Captain”They cried.Selena's fist tightens, as much as she wants to blame the kid for this, she also knows they were doing the wrong thing, leaving somebody behind is not what mages do, but they are not strong enough.She doubts if her mega skills will even weaken the beast.“make some walls to slow down it pace”The earth mage quickly placed his hands on the ground.“Earth wall; Triple!!”he created three solid walls in front of the monster.They were lucky this monster couldn't use speed mode.They would've been dead already.Selena stands straight, that will buy her sometime to unlock her mega skills.She draws all her energy out. She must concentrate to release her mega skills.“Captain!!!”her men suddenly shouted.“Boom”“Boom”“Boom”The monster destroyed all the wall instantly, and he was dashing in her direction.Selena's heart seized.Henry tried to move his body, but he couldn't, tears covered his eyes, what is going to tell his sister, his mom.the family will be devastated when this news breaks out.Henry manages to look at his father, his body was rapidly fading, if only he could kill this monster, his father's life force will return, since he is still alive.Henry's fist tightened.His father has always encouraged him, he never lost hope in him, even though he knew, he was the world's weakest mage. An E ranked mage, yet his father still believed he will become a good Mage.If he can't save his father, who then can he save.Henry's fist harden more, his body was burning with rage, but he couldn't break free from the pressure.“Dammit”“I am useless. Born Weak”[Host has activated; Greatest desire][System is granting hosts a special offer;S rank max for four red coins.Warning; Host can only use this power for ten seconds and host has a 99% probability of dying after the time limit][Accept or Decline]Henry was shocked to see the message from the system. He didn't bother to read the rules twice before he made up his mind.“Accept”He doesn't care if he dies here, as long as his father is alive, he won't be sad.[Host has traded four red coins for a special offer: host has been granted. Offer countdown; 10, 9, 8]Selena couldn't move, she helplessly watched the monster launch it fist to her but surprisedly, the monsters stopped and retreat immediately.her eyebrows moved.What is happening here, before she could think of what happened.Her body smashed the ground. The surrounding intensity suddenly increased and the force smashed her to the ground. her throat seized immediately. Her heart was pounding heavily. The pressure was coming from a mage. She wonders if the military had arrived, but her eyes widened when she saw the kid rising to his feet.Immediately he rise, she black out.Her body couldn't withstand the aura.Who is this kid.Henry stands up with immense pressure. He cou
Henry's eyes opened, he was in the dream space again, he wonders if this was a farewell meeting or this was his afterlife.[Congratulations, System has cleared all tracks of host][Host is recovering from damage. Host can't leave dream space until the host recovers fully]“am I alive”Henry understands the system's words, but he wants to hear it from the system.[Host is currently at home with his family]Henry's cheeks moved, he remembers a little detail before he black out, he moved at insane speed, and his direction was home, but how did he enter without unlocking the password.He couldn't remember all the details, he must've done everything himself.“How long will I be staying here, and I want to know the time difference between here and my world”[Host will recover fully in four days. There is no time difference between dream space and your world. Everything depends on host. Dream space can move faster or slower]Henry's jaws slacked, he thought the system said dream space is fas
Everybody was shocked to see Henry, he actually came to the battleground. They thought he was pretending to be sick, so he doesn't fight Derek.Who in his right sense will fight a B class mage, even a C ranker won't do it, let alone an E ranker.What a fool.Henry entered the arena. He face the side Mr. Dawson was sitting.“You not getting your fetid hands on that land”Mr. Dawson smiles seeing Henry, he thought he won't get to entertain his guest today. thanks goodness, the worthless boy showed up. He has already asked Derek to make him nearly embrace death, then his father will come beg for hospital bills again, with that, they will work for him freely.He laughed in his mind. Poor people should know their place, they can never be at the top.“You should be worried about your match. Do you really think an E rank mage can win a B rank. What a fool!”Mr. Tucker snatch the microphone from Mr. Dawson. He was happy Henry was alive. He has slept for four days now, he was worried his son r
Mr. Tucker's knees were shaking as he made his way to the arena, he raised his head to look in Henry's direction but surprisedly, his son was already back on his feet. He paused seeing the deadly look on Henry's face, something was different about him. he was like an hungry lion ready to devour his prey.“Henry”he muttered to himself.Henry stands up with deadly eyes which focus on Derek, who was still unaware of his movement. He quickly finished the system drills and acquired his physical skills, but he still can't use all of them. There are some that will drain all his energy immediately he activates them but the ones he has now will be enough to defeat this bastard.“He is awake”“how is this possible”“does this bastard have a death wish”Derek's eyebrows slowly pushed down hearing the crowd's words. He was puzzled by their words, he knows Henry won't be able to move for now, or he could be possibly be dead, after all he is an E rank mage, even a C rank mage won't stand his power
His words drop like a heavy weight on their shoulders, and they watch him make his way out of the arena.Mr. Dawson was close to the exit, he was making his way to stop the fight before Henry unleashed that attack, but he was too late. He didn't know Henry will win, so he didn't bother to hire a healer, he can't blame himself for that, how can an E rank mage defeat a B rank mage.Impossible, but it just happened. Henry walked past him. Mr. Dawson turned to face Henry.“What did you do. What trick did you use!!”Henry smirked facing Mr. Dawson.“Use a trick on a kid. What a joke. He was just too weak Dawson. What a weakling you have as a son”Mr. Dawson's fist tightened, he saw himself wiping the kid to the ground, but he can't do that now, he must attend to his son before he makes this fool pay for the humiliation he caused him. Mr. Dawson rush to Derek.Henry beams watching him, he wished he could humiliate Derek more, but he has his limit too, that last attack drain everything he ha
Henry finally received the acceptance letter from the academy, he got in through the recommendation of Mr. Dawson. The school won't have accepted him even if he paid his entrance fee, they haven't seen an E rank mage before, and they would've turned him down to cover the academy image.With Mr. Dawson's recommendation, the school doesn't know his rank, they believe he is a top class mage from Bloom area, although he is, but nobody knows, they will think he is an E rank mage which Henry wants. He doesn't want to expose this power until he reaches S rank level. According to the system, he can reveal his true class if he wants, but it's advisable to be at the highest level then, which Henry supports.He came out from the house and faced his family once more. “I am leaving”Henry had a hard time convincing them about his power, that he is a regular E rank mage. They believe him after continues repetition of the same words.“Do your best. Don't go beyond your limit. Anything you can achi
Everybody was shocked to hear her words, they believed she was joking, but they however gathered Henry.“She is telling the truth”somebody burst out with shock, others confirmed Henry's rank by checking his watch, and he was truly displaying E rank.“He is an E rank mage!”Somebody pointed Henry. Everybody burst out laughing, when they heard his loud voice. They couldn't believe an E rank mage was among them, the lowest they have seen was C rank, they are rumors that some people awakened D rank, but those people were never seen, now this confirms the rumors were true. Somebody with an E rank class, isn't that useless to the mage society, what can an E rank mage possibly do, this is indirectly committing suicide.Mr. Liam couldn't believe his ears, everybody standing on the stage was shocked, but they believed something was wrong with the class detector. There is noway somebody rank could be E, it's unheard, even D rank mage haven't been seen let alone E rank mage.Mr. Liam faces Sel
Helen laughed silently, she finds his words very funny, she already knows he is a messenger of the person that will be staying with her, there is noway, an E rank mage will be granted permission to abode in a special apartment.“I will call the security if you don't state your reasons for being here”she folds her hands across her chest, she was starting to get annoyed by the wimpy kid. Henry could feel the bossy attitude she had, and she was definitely looking down on him, but he didn't take it to heart.He didn't expect to share the apartment with a beautiful girl, she must be scared, that why she is acting this way.“I got in through special recommendation, and don't worry about your privacy. I won't disturb your movement here”Henry walked towards the second room which was locked. He believes she must've picked the first one. He reached Helen, and she blocked him from passing her. She couldn't believe the stupidity of the weakling. “You think I will fall for such a trick. You a
Henry lost his vision of the outside world as the monster swallowed him completely. “Dammit!”Henry screamed out as the outside world closed completely.‘Those two monsters are outside! Helen and Peter are in trouble, I have to come out of here!!!! Lora is even outside!’Henry was screaming inside his mind, he wouldn't fail his teammates, he must slaughter this monster down now! The red dragon katana formed in Henry's hand again, he would slice this monster open. Henry concentrated on his awareness, trying to see if he could feel what was going on in the outside world, but just as he suspected, his senses couldn't go pass the monster's stomach. He was currently in the monster intestine and several worms were heading to his direction now. “Well, they would DIE BY MY BLADES”Henry screamed out as he released a tremendous burst of energy. “The red dragon katana; Grade three”“Endless katana!!”Thousands of blades erupted from Henry and it sliced all the worms to pieces.. Henry imme
Henry covered the distance as he moved his katana to strike the monster down. He wouldn't waste any time to assess any monster that would pose a threat to Helen and Peter, he brought them into this, he would do whatever it takes to protect them from harm, so he would kill any monster like this with his full strength, WITHOUT WASTING A SINGLE MOMENT. Henry appeared inches away from the monster. “This is where it all ends”The red dragon katana changed to a blazing red color, and Henry smashed it to the monster's middle, it didn't have to be the monster head, he just had to make contact with the monster and it would be dead. “The Red Dragon Katana, Grade One Maximum!”“The Hundredth Strike”The katana zaps insanely to cut the monster to pieces. The monster's eyes were wide open in shock as he watched the katana head straight to cut him into two. How could this be possible! How could a human possibly have the power to kill a monster like him? ‘Am I going to die... is this the end’
All the C-ranked monsters shattered to pieces, Henry tightened his grip on the Katana, he wouldn't make any mistake or hold back on any monster, he would take them down with one move if he could do it. “Grade Two of the Red Dragon Katana”Henry's veins displayed on his hands, and he insanely swung the Katana to the monster's face. “The Dragon Roar”The monster was motionless in his position as he watched the red Katana zap to chop his head away. He couldn't believe a human would be capable of this strength. How could a human be capable of a strength like this!!!! If he doesn't do anything now, he would die. The monster thought about dying and his face turned ugly. “Body magic; Robust Defense!”The monster's neck immediately grew a large mass of flesh with the motion of stopping Henry Katana, but the power in Henry's strike was so overwhelming that it smashed the monster to the left-hand side. BOOM! A massive burst of flame followed as the impact smashed the monster into the bu
[Host has exited Dream Space]Henry's eyes opened to see the massive destruction ahead of him, the place was in a ruined state. it wasn't a building collision nor the ground was upside down. The entrance of Arc Light Haven was simply decorated with human bones, thousands of it, and there was a write-up written on the tallest building ahead. “Welcome to Arc Light Haven”Henry was surprised to see the write-up on the building ahead, surely that wasn't written by any human, it was written by a monster. To think a monster would be able to write in their language, and also know what the place was called was too fabulous to comprehend and threatening. For a monster to be able to do that simply meant that the monster wasn't an ordinary one, it would definitely be an intelligent monster, and intelligent monsters are always powerful ones. “We should stay together, keep your eyes open, and say something if you see anything.“Lora, stay beside Peter, and Helen, stay behind Peter, I will lea
Henry accepted all the documents, and he remembered Dean's words, for them to be selected for the extinguishment of hell operation, they had to produce groundbreaking results like clearing a whole area in the outside zone. Henry and the team reached the area selection hall which was inside the general registration Hall. This place houses the areas that nobody refuses to take in the city Hall, if an area remained in the city Hall information system for a month and nobody took it, it would be transferred to the general registration hall, where any bounty group could gain access to the location, and move to get the job done or a portion of it until it becomes completed. The difference between the City Hall areas and the General Registration Hall areas was that, the City Hall gave access to only one team per area, other bounty groups could ally to clear it but what goes to the book would be the team that accepted the area. While the General Registration Hall would write down the
They drove the F—Zero loader to the general registration Hall. They parked at the parking lot and the F-Zero loader immediately caught everybody's attention. Many people were seen bringing their phones to take pictures of the loader.“Oh my God.. what team is this!”“Is it the White eagles”“No! It had to be the Eagle's Crest. They are the ones that can afford a loader like this”The other man who was interrupted shouted back. “Don't be stupid! The Eagle crest are only the richest bounty group in Wood City, that doesn't mean they can afford everything. This is the F—Zero, it cost more than a hundred billion dollars”The man's eyes burst open in shock. “More than a hundred billion dollars.. Oh my God..... Oh my God”The smart looking man sounded again. “The eagle crest wouldn't be able to afford the turbo tire of this loader let alone the loader”“Who the hell are these people!!!”Somebody shouted. Just then a loader also parked some distance away, and the Eagle crest squad came ou
Lora entered the living room with a little smile on her face. “I forgot to introduce our team healer to you guys. Lora Tucker, she would be our team healer”Lora raised her head to face everyone. “Hello, everyone”Helen and Peter were dumbfounded on their spot, they couldn't believe Henry's words. Helen wanted to say something but Lora's new appearance stunned her to the bone, she immediately realized something was different about Lora. So Lora awakened healing magic. “Please take care of me”Lora bowed 90 degrees, Helen couldn't take Lora's behavior anymore, she thought about the past, and seeing Lora walking perfectly made her emotions spring up to the highest order.Helen walked to Lora and hugged her tightly. “Lora.. You are okay”Lora's eyes turned wet a little.“I am fine”She rests her head on Helen's back. Peter stared at Lora with wide eyes, he knew Henry had a sister, but he had never seen her this close before. He saw her at the funeral but he never looked at her this
“WHAT!” Helen's thunderous voice was heard. “What kind of dumb name is this” She thought Henry had come up with a groundbreaking name, a name that would scare the life of anybody that hears it, and something that once mentioned in the battleground would make other bounty hunter's quiver with fear, but Henry had to come up with the craziest name she had ever seen. “A cheetah! Why not a gorilla or a Godzilla, maybe king Kong would be better” “Why Liberty Cheetahs out of all the names in the world” Helen's shout was scaring the shit out of Peter and Henry, Henry wasn't expecting Helen to react like this, if he had known, he would've ask her for her opinion. “Okay, Helen. Do you have a name in mind” Peter asked as he tried to steady his breathing, Helen was unknowingly emitting ice magic. Helen's forehead folded when she heard Peter's words, she emitted more ice magic, making the room more colder than before. “Over to you Helen, pick a name for us” Henry finally voiced out. H
Henry was sitting upright on his bed, he was exploring the items available in the exclusive store, which was meant for only his disciples, the people he had given the recognition ring to. There were a lot of items available in the exclusive store, it wasn't unlimited but it was on the high side, majority of the items had only one function, like the enhancement uniforms which reduced the damage taken by 1000%. It was good but not good enough in Henry's eyes. He was looking for something unreal, something that could improve Helen and Peter to the next level. Henry finally diverted his attention to the S-tier items, they were the most expensive items in the exclusive store and only a portion of them were available. The S-tier sector contained three weapon-grade items, a Katana, a crossbow, and a battle ax, they all had special attributes, and the attributes depended on the wielder.The weapons had ten special attributes and only one would be accessible to the wielder. Henry found the
