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 powerful attacks.He however turned to see what was making the crowds noising. His mouth agape seeing Henry was standing straight like he didn't suffer any damage from his earlier impact.‘What is this’Before Derek could understand, Henry appeared in front of him.“Fire burst”Henry smashed his flame fist on Derek's face, the explosion flings Derek to the wall. His back slapped the wall and he falls to the ground immediately. He wasn't expecting the attack and Henry moved with just one blink. how is that possible, Derek couldn't comprehend it.Everybody was shocked by Henry's movement. Mr. Dawson paused watching the scene again, he couldn't believe this bastard was still standing. What will it take to take this stubborn rat to the ground.“Finish him, Derek, Finish him!!”He screamed.Derek manage to stand up to his feet. he can't humiliate himself in this manner, Henry is a fool to have waited for him to get on his feet, he won't get such an opportunity again. He wipes the little blood on his lips. Surprisedly Henry attack was more powerful than before.“You are finished”He angrily step forward, but his heart seized when he saw Henry had disappeared from his earlier position.Where did he go.His body was trembling with fear as he search for Henry. his heart jumped when somebody taps him on his shoulder from behind.“Coward!”Henry roars immediately Derek faces him, before Derek could blink, Henry's fire burst attack landed on his face. He staggered backwards by the impact, he almost fell to the ground, but he managed to hold himself back. If he falls again, everybody will laugh at him. Derek keeps his body up, but Henry was once again in front of him.“Fire burst”He wipes Derek on his left cheeks, Derek's face bends to the right, he spat blood out, his body was aching with pain, but Henry didn't give him the chance to recover.“Explosion”Henry dips the fireball attack on Derek's stomach, the impact crack Derek's armor, and he coughs blood immediately, he falls to his knees and almost fall flat to the ground, but his hands manage to support his body from falling.Derek breathe heavily as he coughs out more blood. He can't believe Henry's strength. How can a E rank mage be this powerful. He is a B rank, he shouldn't even sweat on this battle but he is on his knees with no hopes of winning.This isn't right. what is happening.The crowds couldn't believe the table turning of the fight, they doubted their eyes, but they knew they were seeing the right thing.“Cheater!!”Somebody among the crowds shouted, there has to be an explanation to this and he found one.“He purposely let sir Derek exhaust his skills before he started his. this fight is unfair”Everybody supported him immediately, Lora couldn't believe their words, her brother was fighting without any armor, or any level boosting tools, and they dare call him a cheater.“Henry!. You don't need a suit or magic equipment to beat this weakling. You are unstoppable!!”Her voice seized the crowd. They shut their mouths feeling ashamed of themselves, they can't pretend they didn't see what Derek was putting on, but nobody said Henry can't put any of it. he is simply poor, that why he has nothing on.Derek's fist was shaking as he listens to the crowd's words. He must put this loser to the ground, for his father's dignity and his pride.“Mega skills; Flame aura”Derek slowly stood to his feet, the surrounding was intense by his aura, and the skill was more powerful than before. He faced Henry and muttered.“Cripple brother”he lunched his second attack immediately he finished.“Mega skill; Blazing fist”Mr. Dawson's cheeks moved seeing Derek was back on his feet, he couldn't believe this bastard actually put on a good fight, but it's over now. The land is finally his.Just as the impact was about to be made, the valiant Henry that refused to move from his spot muttered.“Fire chain”Eight chains immediately surge from his body and bind Derek. His eyes shoot open seeing the outcome of his attack, before he could comprehend it. Henry touched him on his shoulder.“Mega skill; Combustion!”Derek's body was immediately set ablaze with a violent fire burst, his armor turned red, if the quality wasn't top-notch, it could've scattered to pieces.“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah”Derek screamed as he falls to the ground by the powerful burst of fire in his body. Everybody was shocked seeing Henry could do a mega skill when his level was still in one, they tried to swallow the fact, but Henry wasn't done yet.Henry appeared in the air next. Mr. Dawson falls to his ground with his jaws touching the floor, what is this.Henry immediately launch his second mega skills.“Fire Storm!!”A conjures lightning bolt made of fire formed in Henry's hands, and he sends it with force in Derek's direction. The attack followed with immense speed. Derek couldn't do anything, rather he cried watching the bolt's attack crush him to the ground. He passed out immediately the impact landed and the forces raised dust that covered the whole arena.Everybody paused, their mouth was wide enough to swallow a soccer ball and it refused to close. They couldn't believe what they just witnessed. How did an E rank mage defeat a B rank mage.The dust slowly fades away and Henry was seen placing his foot on Derek's face. His armor was scattered to pieces, even his clothes were gone, and it was clearly seen that he had passed out or possibly be dead.Henry faces the crowds with an evil smile on his face.“I won”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 didn't know her character was this dirty, she behaves like she is a god, meanwhile, she is just a mere B rank water mage, what is so special about her. Henry was furious, he must discipline her, so this won't repeat itself again.The men marched forward to Henry. He would love to end this with a flashy style, but he can't use blink strike skill again, unless he wants to be useless for the rest of the day.“Quickstep”The skill double Henry's movements and his pace, the first man rushed to land a heavy blow on Henry, but Henry easily evaded the attack by going sideways, which left the man back fully exposed. Henry raised his right legs up and smashed the man on his back, he falls to the ground immediately. The Quickstep skill not only increases his pace but his strength too. He could see his strike was twice as powerful as before.Two men blocked Henry's view immediately, they wanted to dive him to the ground, but Henry jumped above them and landed perfectly on the floor, befor
Henry was shocked to see the system message, and he believed immediately he saw his opponent, he was on the same height has Peter, there was no doubt this was the peter in the academy.He wonders why he came here, when his words meant‘This place is not for weakling’he came closer, and he remembered why Peter was here, it seems his family is poor like his, and he seems to be the one carry the weight.Henry felt pity for him, but he can't lose this fight. He must win to advance to the next stage, and even if he didn't need the money, there is noway Peter can reach the final.He is only a C rank earth mage and his level is 3. He wonders how Peter got to level three, since his family is poor, there is noway they could afford a level booster that helped peter reach level 3, and there is noway peter has fought a monster.The spectators shouted.“Begin”Henry decided to end it quickly, he can't play around with Peter. He wish they didn't cross path in this way, they both have something to
Everybody follows his hands, they were curious to see who Calvin picked. Their cheeks moved when they saw it was that scumbag from yesterday, finally he will be humiliated for thinking he can co-exist with the likes of them.What a fool he is to think he can withstand the pressure from the academy, now that the rules has been changed, he is barely going to spend a week before he flees.Henry didn't bother to confirm if he was truly the one. He came out with a beaming face, how can somebody take his title from him. He must show these people what a master of physical skills looks like.Jaxon was shocked to see who Calvin pointed. He walked to Henry and raised his wristwatch high. He couldn't believe there was an E rank mage in the academy. He hasn't seen an E rank mage before. how is this possible.“Is this some kind of joke or something. Do you know this can get you in trouble. How dare you tweak your wristwatch!”Some students manage to hold their laughter, while others burst out lau
Jaxon eyes widened seeing Calvin had lost it, he must stop that attack from touching Henry, the effect could be disastrous.He zoomed to the scene hoping to get there fast, but his eyes shot up seeing Henry catch Calvin's fist.Calvin was puzzled, he couldn't believe this weakling seized his attack by catching his hands, and nothing happened to him. He has used this same attack on a C rank mage, and the person had to visit a healer, but this same attack, even more powerful than before, didn't even leave a scratch on an E rank mage.His body trembled with fear, who is this young man.Jaxon separated their hands and pushed Calvin backwards a little.“What were you thinking. Do you want to kill him”Calvin frown, he wanted to say something, but he realized he just lost to Henry, and he will have to fulfill the bet next. How can he call this bastard, a master. Calvin points Henry furiously.“You cheated. You were using a magic tool that enhanced your speed”his words calms everybody's h
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
