'Fear'It wasn't an emotion that Olympians admitted feeling. However, just like everyone else, they felt fear too.As Reeves tore through his strongest generals that were as strong as him in terms of fighting capabilities like they were nothing and marched towards the central palace walls, Marcus felt fear gripping his entire body as he contemplated the choice between running away and confronting Reeves.'There's no way I can fight that monstrosity' he thought, as he was on the verge of running away when Reeves's spectral storm started to slow down and dissipate, as Reeves himself dropped down to both his knees looking like a thin and brittle skeleton."He's down….. he's finally down …. The toll of using that power is finally forcing him to die" Marcus told himself in elation as he gripped his sword and charged out like a fearless lion, smelling the weakness in his prey."Rally around me men!Today we kill the mad professor…." He said boldly, as he encouraged a few of his royal guards

"F-father?" Marcus said while shivering as he did not trust his own father to spare his life under such circumstances.Although they were a family, ever since they were children, both Maeve and Marcus realized the fact that they were merely assets in the Olympian cause and not actual family members.Their mother was voiceless and only a breeding partner for their father because of her good genetics, while their father's love for them was conditional on their use to the family.Because Marcus showed competence since young age and Maeve was chosen as the Champion Of Poseidon, Escanor showered the kids with a bit of his love and attention, however, this did not change his base feelings towards them.For him, his children were no different than an important underling or a disposable asset, as at the end of their use-case Escanor was more than willing to discard them without any attachments.As Marcus trembled uncontrollably, his loyal men present in the room closed their eyes as they sile

Rhys read Ren's letter and let out a deep sigh. Ever since Reeves's death, his emotions had been in turmoil, but the letter gave him a moment of clarity."The finals start in 14 days and will last for 7 days. To join the floor 21 attack alongside the Elites, I need to clear floors 18, 19, and the ascension test on floor 20 alongside Kael and Varyn—all within the next fourteen days.Plus, I need to prepare as best I can for the finals and receive the highest evaluation in it to complete the system quest I recieved at the start of the semester.Finally, my work with Maeve also needs to reach its conclusion. I have to use all the faith she's built in me to my advantage," Rhys thought, as his mind cleared of useless emotions, focused on the tasks ahead within a tight timeframe.With the final exams being preponed and the floor raid being preponed as well, Rhys's initial plan of settling into his new fighting style and taking his time in manipulating Maeve was now thrown out of the window

"The 2,000 guards on level one will all mostly be tier3 fighters, however, when you go from prison level one to level two, the guards there will be of tier4 strength.The second level of the prison will hold about 2,000 prisoners and will be guarded by 500 guards and you will have to fight your way through here as it will be impossible to pass by them without being detected" Maeve said, as she shrugged her shoulders and realized the difficulty of the task that was busting out a prisoner from floor21 prison."If you still somehow find your way through the swarm of guards on floor two and manage to descend to level three…. You will encounter three tier5 maximum security guards there, who are next to impossible to defeat" Maeve said as she shook her head from side to side, realizing that it was a suicidal mission for Rhys to even attempt busting out Violet from that prison."The lowest floor only holds 25 prisoners maximum and is guarded by only three guards who have spatial teleportatio

Rhys, spotting the danger immediately unsheathed his sword and after calculating the speed of the approaching urchin launched a sword strike to intercept it in its path before he could reach Kael.*Slash*Launching a sword slash under water was extremely hard for Rhys and required him to strain his muscles to the absolute limit, as it was several times more difficult for him to unleash a sword strike below water than it was for him to do the same in air.Nonetheless, his sword mastery had reached a point where he could even project a sword strike underneath water for up to 25 meters, as he slashed the lake urchin clean in half with his strike before he could reach Kael.Green blood spilled out from the lake urchin's body, dissolving quickly into the lake water, as his death alerted all the other lake urchins about the presence of a predator in their midst.Soon, about a dozen torpedo's began rising from the lake bed, all converging towards Rhys, as Kael visibly panicked when faced wit
