"Okay, I understand that there are certain things you cannot share with me, and I respect your boundaries. I have complete trust in you," The Sage Dragon said to Felix, acknowledging him with a nod. "What? Why the sudden change of heart?" Felix asked with curiosity, as he was taken aback by the unexpected change of heart from the Sage Dragon. "Well let's just say, it's instinct" The Sage Dragon spoke with a cryptic smile, slicing its finger with a claw and presenting it to Felix, who was the same size as the finger. "It might cause some discomfort, and the discomfort intensifies over time. You may lose consciousness, but that is to be expected," The Sage Dragon remarked, observing Felix who quivered with anticipation. Felix also cut his palm and pressed it against the finger. As the two made contact, a burst of golden light erupted from the point of connection, causing Felix to be instantly overcome by intense pain. 'What do you mean by "a little painful" and the pain getting
“It truly responded,” Felix exclaimed with enthusiasm as the light he extended his hand toward abruptly soared in his direction. Upon contact, his vision faded, and he found himself in an expansive plain surrounded by numerous huts, with people bustling about and children playing nearby. "Where am I? “Hello, where am I? Can you hear me?” Felix inquired of himself before attempting to engage one of the passersby; however, despite his efforts, they remained unresponsive. Felix abruptly exclaimed, "Oh no," as someone passed through him. "Am I a ghost? No, but where am I?" Felix pondered with bewilderment, as he found himself being whisked away from one location to another, growing increasingly weary and exasperated. "I was brought here for a reason, so maybe if I find out why, I can unravel all of this," Felix pondered as he made his way through the village, eventually reaching a hut larger than the others. "This seems to be the village head's hut," Felix remarked as he approach
"You," the giant wolf snarled, fixating on the creature that had wounded it—a sizable hawk adorned with blood-red plumage. Behind it loomed an army of birds of diverse ranks. "It appears that our reinforcements have arrived," Justin remarked with a groan, grasping his head in discomfort. "Did you know that they would come?" Vane inquired with astonishment. “I was uncertain of their arrival, yet I had an intuition that they might appear,” Justin replied with a smile. "How did you contact them?" Damien inquired with a perplexed demeanor. "I didn't, when you informed me about its injury, I immediately deduced that it must have been caused by a formidable C rank beast. And I also realized that once this beast discovered that its enemies had been weakened by another force, it would seize the opportunity to conquer them," Justin explained, gasping for breath. "So they aren't really our allies?" Drake inquired, his face displaying a frown. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," J
"How is this possible? How could he rank higher than me?" Damien exclaimed with frustration. "Now that the Results of the first round have been revealed, the second round is set to begin tomorrow. If anyone has any remarks, now is the time to speak up," the Judge declared, carefully studying the crowd's reactions in search of the elusive figure known as Shadow Walker. "I have something to say," a voice resonated as Damien emerged. "What is it?" The Judge asked Indifferently. "If you have studied, you will observe that the number of participants who survived is less than half of the total," Damien said with a sinister smile. "I understand that you are aware of the situation, but it seems to happen every time the secret dimension is opened. We did warn you about the danger before you entered, so what exactly are you trying to say?" The judge responded with a frown, acknowledging that this group of participants had fewer members than any previous batch. "It was, in fact, the result
"Vane?..." Felix exclaimed, his astonishment apparent as he focused on the figure materializing from the swirling dust. "Hello, Shadow Walker. I am eager to participate in a battle with you, so let us make sure we both follow the rules and avoid disqualification." Vane expressed his high expectations, making a quick glance at Felix before refocusing on Damien. Damien pondered, his expression turning serious as he looked at Vane. "It would be ill-advised to engage in combat with this lunatic. I may have to utilize some of my specialized strategies that are typically reserved for extraordinary opponents." "Hey, can we postpone our battle for a later time?" The third round is going to be a real test of our martial skills, so we can fight with all our might. But for now, let us hold back a bit. What do you think?" Damien said through clenched teeth to Vane, who paused with a look of concern. "Hmm, you make a valid point. If I hold back, this battle will not be enjoyable. Alright th
"Well, I suppose it is my turn," Feng Shui said confidently as he stepped onto the stage. "Hmm, you seem quite confident, but I will not simply accept defeat. I am eager to witness the power of a D rank," Su Mo said with a mischievous smile, forcefully clenching his fists together. "Incompetent fool, amuse me," Feng Shui declared arrogantly, deriding Su Mo. “I will obliterate you like an insect,” Su Mo declared, striking the stage with his hands, which triggered multiple spikes to emerge and surge towards Feng Shui, who remained motionless. As the spikes were merely a few inches from Feng Shui, he abruptly raised his leg and struck the ground, causing the advancing spikes to halt and then retreat towards their origin at double the speed. "What?" Su Mo exclaimed in astonishment as he narrowly evaded. "Is that all you possess? The earth element is ill-suited for you; your control resembles that of a child. Allow me to demonstrate true power," Feng Shui declared with a malevolent gr
"He jumped straight onto the stage..." The esper exclaimed, clearly taken aback. "That is Shadow Walker, the one with the C Rank beast's corpse. Some say he lucked into it and is not all that strong, but now I am starting to question that," another esper remarked. "Oh, it seems fate has brought us together as opponents. It is quite unfortunate for you. Should I swiftly bring this battle to an end or allow you to demonstrate your skills for a while?" Shadow Walker grinned mischievously as he teased Jonny Swift. "Arrogant prick," Jonny muttered with anger as he swiftly fired an arrow. The arrow moved so quickly that most of the espers could not track its movement. Without hesitation, it found its mark in Shadow Walker's chest, piercing through with precision. "Huh, that is it? What was all that cool talk about?" An esper exclaimed with surprise. "No, it should not be this simple," Jonny said with a frown. "Wow, you are quite speedy, but unfortunately, not quick enough," Shado
As they approached one another, each unleashed their respective abilities, resulting in an intense confrontation. MOUNTAIN CRUSH BUDDHA'S PALM Mark swung his saber with great force, unleashing a powerful attack. The aura of a large Ox beast merged with the slash, intensifying its impact. Meanwhile, Myriad Eyes extended his palm, mirroring the movement of the Buddha figure behind him, amplifying the power of his defense. BOOM "It has been quite some time since I last experienced enjoyment of this nature," Myriad Eyes chuckled with a smile as he was propelled backward. "Hahaha, me too" Mark chuckled as he too was pushed backwards, demonstrating a balanced exchange between the two. PALM OF DIVINE JUDGEMENT SACRED RING OF CHAOS The two opponents clashed once more, their awe-inspiring skills causing the stage to crack. Despite their separation, it was evident that they remained evenly matched, effortlessly exchanging moves without any hesitation. "They are treating it like a play
