All of a sudden, they all attacked simultaneously, fully prepared to take out Talon's head. Initially, they hesitated to get too close to him, fearing that they might turn into undead creatures. So they stared at each other, nodded in agreement, and directed their attention toward Talon.Bewildered by their actions, Talon quickly grasped the situation."Sh*t! Not the beam launchers… Ahhh!" Talon exclaimed as he started running.In less than a second, they noticed Talon's attempt to flee and opened fire. Those wielding flaming swords utilized their left hands to conjure blazing fireballs, combining them with their swords, and launched the projectiles towards Talon.[•Attack Detected! Implementing Countermeasures!•]The red beams came perilously close to Talon, but his reflexes suddenly heightened to the extreme."What... is happening?" Talon was shocked to the core as everything around him seemed to move in slow motion. While running without looking back, his body instinctively veered
In the brightly lit hallway, Talon stood after he had finished off the first man without any remorse. He looked at the second man with anger in his eyes. He wanted to get out of here and fulfill Small's dream. He would have to get strong and annihilate all those involved in running this facility, but first, he must deal with the nine remaining here. Now that he had four minutes of immense power, he had to use it wisely."Now let's make this quick," Talon zoomed off with incredible speed, disappearing and reappearing suddenly. He never knew he could do that."Isn't this ability meant for those who have awakened?" Talon was shocked as he performed the skill.[Moon Shadow successfully used!][Bonus Arcane points +1!][Countdown Momentum Level Upgrade 00:00:03:58:23!]Talon decided to make full use of his new skill. He vanished into thin air, rotating in the air, and landed up
"What do I do?" Talon thought as he felt the immense pressure as he thought of his next action as he carried the girl.Talon looked down at the cliff and he saw that their was no way he could jump down. Their wasn't even any sign of a canal. It was just green fields. If they were a canal he would of jumped into it, but that was impossible.Talon had no other choice but to face the Demonic beast or die trying to fight it. Talon immediately removed the girl from his back and asked,"What should I do?" Talon thought as he felt immense pressure, contemplating his next action while carrying the girl.Left with no other choice, Talon made the decision to confront the demonic beast rather than succumb to it. He gently set the girl down and reassured her, "Stay still! I won't let anything harm you." Shielding her with his back, he readied his daggers for battle."I'll lure the beast towards the left, and all you have to do is try to run towards the right," Talon advised her, gripping her sho
In a dense forest, trees had been torn apart by the demonic beast. Due to its enormous size, the beast wreaked havoc on the environment. The falling creature wasn't too far from Talon and the girl. A man dressed in pitch-black clothing stood atop the severed head of the beast."What the hell is an S-Class Rank demonic beast doing around here?" The man exclaimed, surprised. This was because any demonic beast above the level of A-Class Rank was not supposed to be seen near the City of High Borns. Moreover, this place wasn't even close to the city's borders. The borders of the city were equipped with devices to detect high-level beasts, and the ones that crossed the borders were eliminated by the Order of the Divine Sentinels, ensuring the city's peace.Talon was overwhelmed by the man's ability to defeat a beast that was approximately 30 feet tall. "Someday, I hope to reach this level," Talon thought to himself. While observing the man, Talon noticed him opening the beast's chest and e
Talon was now lying on a bed in a wooden cabin, unconscious from the previous fight where Digner had held his neck. He had a rough time and faced new challenges every day, making his life miserable from birth.The cabin had a large holographic screen displaying news about the war between humans and demons.~The human population is decreasing, and the demons are intensifying their attacks on our defenses. Can we withstand the relentless onslaught? Reports suggest that our defense line may soon be breached, and even the privileges of the High-borns could be at risk. How can we overcome this formidable threat?~Despite his unconscious state, Talon seemed to hear the sound from the newscaster. Gradually, he opened his eyes, trying to adjust to the bright light in the room. He spoke with his eyes slightly open, asking, "What happened?" He felt excruciating pain in his back as he tried to move.[Host badly injured!][Regenerating dead cells!][Regeneration…1%...3%..30%..42%..100%][Regener
Talon was shocked as he closed his mouth, shocked at what he had previously said. He didn't know how he would explain it to David."Young man, is anything going on?" David asked."Nope! Nothing, I'm fine," Talon replied."Okay! I think I don't need to pry further into your private affairs. Okay, if I may ask, what were you doing in that forest? The forest was restricted, and F-Class Rankers are not meant to be seen in there. Moreover, you and the little fellow you saved haven't even awakened a path," he said as he stared at Talon with a curious look."Sir, you wouldn't understand! It's a long story. I'm just an orphan boy who has encountered extreme challenges," Talon said as he bowed his head and sobbed, remembering all the events that took place from Small dying. All of a sudden, he burst into tears. He couldn't control himself any longer.David was shocked by Talon's words. He knew that growing up in a world without parents was something he had gone through, and he wouldn't want a
The trees around him were trembling due to the enormous force. Talon was bravely fighting to withstand David's aura. Although David wasn't even releasing 3% of his aura, Talon couldn't withstand the pressure, indicating David's tremendous power. This was evident from his previous fight with Digner."Aaaah!" Talon felt the immense pressure.Digner was no match for David, so if they were to fight, Digner would have already died before the battle began.[Aura Pressure 3%•][•Aura Pressure Reduction Activated!•][•Aura Pressure Reduced by 50%!•][Arcane Energy Cleansing Activated!][Arcane Energy Cleansing 2%....6%!]The Arcane Path Awakening required the individual to be cleansed of all impurities, and this involved undergoing tremendous pain. The individual's master would be responsible for the awakening ceremony. Talon wouldn't have been able to unlock his Arcane path if he hadn't undergone the intense pressure from David, as his body was filled with Arcane Energy. Due to previous exp
Talon and David gradually descended to the ground, and all the crosses and the Bible that were suspended in midair dematerialized. A golden orb appeared in the corner, devoid of any energy, indicating that all the arcane energy had entered Talon's body."No one must know about this."******Talon found himself back in the same room where he had been before. It was a new day, and the sun was shining brightly. The rays of light streamed through the window, casting a glare on Talon's eyes as he lay on the bed. He instinctively used his hands to shield his eyes from the scorching sun. Suddenly, Talon jolted, thinking he was still in a desperate situation."Eeeeeh!!!!" Talon looked around in panic, only to realize he was in the familiar wooden cabin. His mind eased a bit. Then, a series of notifications appeared.[•Old Quest - Awaken Your Arcane Path Completed!•][•Old Quest - Take David as Your Master Completed!•][•Old Quest - Save a High-Born Completed!•][•Accumulated Rewards!][+Acces
