I sat by the lake quietly, ruminating over what had transpired during my trial, it was a real eye opener to my current position in this world.I had been living with a very big misconception and if I had continued down that path, it would have brought disastrous consequences.The very notion of strength I had in mind was flipped on its head today. Skills were only as good as the person using them.The blind guy had shown me that very clearly. He didn't even use any skills, just his basic combat prowres.My foundations are really poor and I need to rectify that. Jerry and I are working on that in the real world, but I might have to change my chosen martial arts. I find myself more comfortable with dual blades than I am with long swords. It normal that I didn't notice this since I've never tried dual blades before until recently.I'll have to do some investigation, this “Ares Academy”, mentioned isn't something I'm aware of. But I'll have to find out once I log out, my growth literally

He caught the sword mid flight, but that was just a distraction. I kicked hard against the rocky ground sending dusts and debris flying towards him.I ran up to him imbuing my legs with mana and sent a kick to his waist. He twisted his waist dodging my attack without even trying, while still holding the sword by the blade, he used it as a cane, the sword struck out with the hilt but I had anticipated it.[Morning guard], a small shield the size of a disk materialised in front of my left hand successfully blocking the attack. My right hand blurred as my sword flew towards his neck.Clang!!My weapon was deflected yet again but this time I could see why. He had used his fingers to deflect my attack.I leaped away immediately as a mass of pure white like gathered in my left palm, it condensed into a small blade about five inches long. More light gathered as more blades appeared and then with a thought, they all flew straight at him. The blades struck him, releasing a blinding flash of li

[iniate the mid tier trials][Yes/No]I picked yes without hesitation, I was at peak condition at the moment so I didn't see a reason to Postpone it any more.[Commencing mid tier trials]I felt dissonance with my body as my eyes closed in what I could assume to be a trance, like the first time. My body is close to the lake right now, I hope I don't drown.When I came to, I was sitting on the dilapidated temple with the conjoined twin goddess statues in the middle.The statues glowed before splitting to form two whole statues or women, one bright and beautiful, the other dark and equally beautiful. For some reason I felt my heart flutter, everything cell in my body screamed in excitement and joy.Luxana, goddesses of the day, smiled at me gently as she raised her hand to caress my face.Noxana, the goddess of the night, looked at me with a charming smile,” you've grown quicker than we would have expected”.I got lucky on my journey, I replied“Luck is one thing, but we sisters have b

The dark energy coalesced in her mouth once more as she took aim, I already know the attack is fast so I don't try to dodge, there's only one thing left for me to do.[NOx domain]The five metre radius around me seemed suck in the surrounding darkness with vigor, I could intuitively feel that both me and the rat had been trapped within this dome.I felt my mana recover, although it wasn't fast, it was still something.Without wasting time I did the only thing that could save me at this point. The next 20 seconds would decide my life or death.[Armor of shadows]As if on cue, the attack slammed into my Chest sending me flying like a ragdoll, I slammed into the barrier, my breath knocked out of me. the armor shattered instantly while I struggled to get up as fast as I could.[Shackles of night]Chains held the rat down again against its will albeit temporarily, but I didn't give it the chance to recover I raised hand, curling my fingers as if holding an illusory spear.[Dark edge]I fel

I raise my hand to my face pouring in a bit of mana from my already low reserves, a whisp of a something cool surrounded my hand, but I couldn't see it since my light ball was extinguished due to a shift in affinity. Nonetheless I knew that it was there.It's a pity I didn't gain night vision from my dark affinity, would have been great, the other knights had them though, so I'm guessing it's something that comes along with tier increase and not a skill.Now I was torn between two decisions, should I leave the dungeon and clear it tomorrow after sunrise?, or press forward despite the blindness.There has to be a way around this. I settled down my mind and went through every novel I had ever read, something stuck out to me instantly. Mana sense.I already had mana sense.In many murim novel's, practitioners could see Qi flow and use that to judge the position and nature of things even with their eyes closed shut. It was more about sensing the energy rather than actually seeing anythin

I landed on the ground with a loud thud!, devoid of any grace whatsoever. What is it with dungeons and undergrounds, the name wasn't meant to be literal.I dusted my clothes which might end up in tatters at the end of the day or night rather.It was pitch black in here, the sun was about to set outside but in here it was basically midnight.[You have entered a dungeon][Quest objective, slay the mice queen][You have entered a higher tier dungeon alone, all rewards have been raised][You have entered an area with no light source, all light related skills have been reduced to 80% of their original might]Good thing the sun wasn't down yet. I raised my hands and closed my eyes for half a minute. An ethereal glow bloomed around my outstretched palm, it flickered Into existence and disappeared just as fast.
