Rhys struggled to stay on his feet as his body was totally drained of energy. Although it was better than the last time, {Hell's Nexus} bottomed out his Ki pool.'That was stupid...' Rhys thought to himself as he finally lost his footing. Closing his eyes, he prepared himself to plunge into the roaring waves.Two soft hands held him right just as his body was about to give in..."You okay?" Rhys heard someone whisper into his ears.A wave of comforting energy seeped into his body, rejuvenating him greatly. To his surprise, Rhys could feel his Ki increasing.Opening his eyes, he stared right back into the ruby-red eye that stared into his.'So close...'"Idiot! Why would you go ahead and use something like that."Rhys shrugged, "What was I supposed to do? I suspect that guy would have just swatted away any other skill or spell." Rhys said with a dark look on his face.Riva nodded, "Looks like we will have to change our plans slightly. You'll be the one dealing with the other ones. I'll

Once Rhys glanced through their ranks, he wasted no time and dove straight at them. The one who threw the spear was one of the two-headed {Chaos Trolls}. Rhys was like an infuriated incarnation of death as he swept forward with the nimble blade in hand.Jumping up, his hair scared against the roof of the cave his knee made contact with the creature's skull, leading to a sickening crunch. Holding on to the blades in a reverse grip, he plunged it into the creature's spine, cutting its spinal cord. Coincidentally, the blade also stabbed through its heart, ending its life before it could suffer anymore.Rhys didn't even spare it a glance as he dodged an axehead. Holding onto the dead {Chaos Troll's} head, he spun around and kicked the attacker in the jaw, causing it to stumble backward. An iron chain appeared in his hand, wrapping around the creature's neck and pulling it closer.Rhys stabbed one of his blades into its mouth which was gasping for air, leaving the creature to choke on its

The only reason Rhys had agreed to Riva facing the Chaos Chief on her own, was her volatile abilities.When it came down to damage, his overall damage and the destructiveness of his skills and spells were a level above hers.However, her ability to control the flow of any battle was simply unnatural. Rhys had seen her fight, and he knew for a fact that should they end up duking it out, he would be in for a battle of his life. His chances of winning weren't slim, but they weren't very plump either.But...He knew he couldn't delay any longer. His heartbeats became erratic the more he considered how long he had been fighting. His Ki and mana reserves were already bottoming out, and he still had five hundred {Chaos Trolls} to face.Rhys could feel their presence. He could also feel the abnormally strong presence of the four-headed {Chaos Troll}. While it wasn't as strong as that of the Chaos chief, it was still many times stronger than that of the normal trolls.'They are waiting for me.

Activating the flame enchantment of the {Burning Spirit} was like rolling a die.Rolling a six meant using the insane boost to murder the enemy. Rolling one meant certain death. If the enemy managed to get even a single good hit in, it was as good as over. A ninety percent decrease in defense wasn't something small. Rather, it was a wide chasm. And falling into that chasm meant never rising again.Hence, he needed to make sure there was no room for a counterattack, or even for simple breathing. He had to utterly demolish his enemy.And as such, with a roar filled with emotions, he smashed his fists forward. The four-headed {Chaos Troll} there a jab at him as well. Their fists collided, and a shockwave made the bedrock tremble violently.However, this was just the start...Retracting his most, Rhys didn't even wait for the second to elapse as he threw another with his left hand.Again, it was blocked. This time, the creature visibly shook. Rhys threw a right hook this time, and the tro

Rhys stared down at his bloodied fists with a blank look...A second later, he hurled and etched violently, tears forming at the corners of his eyes...'Ha... Not pleasant at all.'Wiping his mouth with the back of his hands, he slumped to the ground. The heavy scent of blood finally hit him once the adrenaline and the purple cloud had faded away.He continued staring at his fists for a few more seconds,'Back then... I almost found something.'During the battle with the four-headed {Chaos Troll}, he had felt a connection form between the veins gifted to him by Lyx, the violent Ki rushing through the veins, the {Draconic Transfiguration} skill, and the elemental fire enchantment of the {Burning Spirit} skill.'What was that?'He found it difficult to describe. It was unlike anything he had ever felt before...'Not like finding the missing piece of the puzzle. More like creating the first piece for a puzzle that wasn't even there to begin with.'It was confusing, yet it gave him an ave
