Councilor Vane's face twisted in rage. "Die!" He echoed in desperation to end Kai, and he lunged himself aggressively at him like a thunder bolt filled with enough fury.Kai watched as he moved. He steadied on his feet and he didn’t flinch or panic. His eyes were clear, fierce and unshaken. Because he had walked through death’s gate and returned with something stronger than the Ascension system protocol- purpose and will to survive.Councilor Vane’s strikes came fast and swift.Kai dodged sharply. Yet Councilor Vane gave another hit but he blocked it and stepped back.Then, a flash of memory buzzed his mind. He remembered now Councilor Vane stomped on his chest.

Chapter 30: The Puzzle and the Phantom
While heavy thoughts clamped down Kai's mind, the system pinged, ‘Time Slowdown Activated.’ The echo rang in Kai's head. Suddenly, the air shimmered. Kai’s eyes blinked as he fixed his eyes on the hair before him. The giant who just moments ago moved with a very fast speed, now moved forward in normal motion. The monster's once unreadable speed is reduced to manageable movement. And that was perfect for Kai to have his way. Kai’s eyes sharpened as it glowed faintly with a light blue light. The world around him slowed down like thick syrup. Then the system pinged again, ‘Time Freeze: 20 Seconds Activated. Objective: Solve the puzzle above the monster's head before the time resumes. Failure results in ultimate loss of battle.’ Just after Kai heard that echo from the system, everything suddenly stopped. Even the giant froze mid-step and its roar caught half

Chapter 28: The Weight of Power
Kai’s eyes remained closed. His concentration level increased. “True strength isn't in power but in the humility to wield it.” His voice was barely above a whisper. The calmness and the peace for a moment felt like there was no monster ready to devour him. “Was I... changing?” He muttered through his teeth. The monster had waited for a while to see what Kai was up to. But when it realized Kai was just sitting calmly, it hissed and lunged. Kai's eyes opened with just the feeling of the monster's hostile vibration. As it attacked to strike him down, Kai dodged without striking yet. His heart beat calmly and his eyes watched every move of the monster. The system chimed, ‘System Notification! Ego is suppressed by 2%. Trial conditions are met and mental clarity is restored.’Kai's puffed out an heavy breath after hearing the system. It was time for him to strike. Kai moved like fire. The sword lit up in his hand and it

Kai turned, his sword facing down and he went into the elevator. He leaned on the elevator wall. The elevator doors creaked open in no time and it revealed a new chamber that magnified in cold blue light. His eyes went around the place slowly. With eyes thinned, Kai stepped forward while his sword was in his hand and he was ready for what awaited him on Level Two of the Pit Trial.The room was silent and it only lasted for a moment. Suddenly, a door burst open with a loud slam. Kai turned instantly and his eyes narrowed. From its depths crawled a crab-like monster. Its shell glistened like steel with glowing red eyes that screamed bloodlust.Immediately the monster set it's eyes on Kai, It screeched and lunged without wasting time.Kai moved swiftly and he dodged its jagged claws. The monster attacked again, but this time, Kai slashed low, his sword cut through its armored legs, and with a second flaming strike, he shattered i

The first level of the Pit of Pride loomed as a fierce battlefield beneath Ironsphire Academy. its high ceilings echoed the intense growl from the monster within.Before Kai was a single creature. But it's stature, Kai could tell that it carried the weight of six.The Shadow Beast Form Alpha lunged with an aggressive punch. It's form was shifting intermittently. Kai could see its tentacles morphing into blades while the smoke around it hardened into claws. It howled with fury, its eyes glowed like molten lava.Kai exhaled and braced himself. “You’ve made it this far, Kai. Don’t let their lies define you.” He echoed within himself as he moulded his palm into a fist.He charged forward as his fists blazed with power. The two collided like a thunderstorm.

Kai returned to the training arena, wiping his hands as he walked in, only to find Councilor Locke and Mordax Rex waiting with stony expressions.At a glance from a distance, Kai's face shrank, ‘What is the problem? Why are they staring at me in that manner?’ He thought within himself as he took steps closer. He couldn't wrap his head around what could be going on.Councilor Locke’s eyes narrowed. “Where have you been since the start of the training section, Kai?” His voice was harsh and cold. A rare reaction from the councilor Locke. Kai was taken aback by his words and he couldn't wrap his head around what the problem could be. “I went to ease myself,” Kai answered truthfully with innocence. He expected that Mordax would speak for him and he nodded toward Mordax. “I took permission from my trainer.”Councillor Locke was surprised with Kai's expression.
