Greeek... Kraaak!

The cracks on the ground’s surface spread further, weaving a labyrinth of destruction across the floor of the ancient mining crater. Darius, still pinned beneath a massive portion of the Rock Bear’s body, could only stare straight ahead with bated breath. From within the darkness of the collapsed mining tunnels surrounding the crater, pair after pair of glowing red eyes began to manifest continuously.

One. Five. Ten. The numbers kept increasing, far exceeding the limits of his

    "Master... if you wouldn't mind providing a bit of physical assistance, I would be very grateful," Darius said finally, lowering his combat ego."From the very beginning, I never said I would help you out of every single one of your logistical problems," Aldric replied coldly without changing his standing position."..."Darius stared at his master's back with a blank expression laden with frustration. Nero almost burst into gleeful laughter, but the little dragon quickly suppressed his voice when dozens of low growling sounds began to echo back and forth from all corners of the mining crater.Grrrkkk...Greeek...One after another, the silhouettes of spiked boars began to step out from the darkness of the mining tunnels, crowding the floor area of the crater. Darius turned his head slowly. The thin smile that had briefly crossed his face earlier had now vanished completely without a trace. Dozens of spiked boars had now filled nearly half of the total functional area of the mining cr

  • CHAPTER 83 — The Silent Intervention Line

    The result was zero; the monster's corpse only shifted a few centimeters, triggering an extraordinary throb of pain across his cracked ribs. On the other side, the spiked boar in front of him began to scratch the surface of the ground rhythmically using its sharp front hooves.Darius froze in place. 'This is bad, it has locked onto its path.'"Darius! Do something quickly!" Nero screamed from atop the boulder."I know, Nero!" Darius shot back across his mental frequency."It’s going to charge forward!""I can see its muscle movements too!" Darius shouted, the veins in his neck bulging.Darius pushed with all his might once more against the Rock Bear's corpse atop his legs. The muscles of both his arms trembled violently, flushing red under a weight pressure that was far too forced. However, his physical system had reached its absolute breaking point. There was no more stamina that could be squeezed out from within his human body.The spiked boar lowered its head position, aiming its p

    Greeek... Kraaak!The cracks on the ground’s surface spread further, weaving a labyrinth of destruction across the floor of the ancient mining crater. Darius, still pinned beneath a massive portion of the Rock Bear’s body, could only stare straight ahead with bated breath. From within the darkness of the collapsed mining tunnels surrounding the crater, pair after pair of glowing red eyes began to manifest continuously.One. Five. Ten. The numbers kept increasing, far exceeding the limits of his logical tolerance.Darius even stopped trying to count when the first figure finally stepped out completely, piercing the thin border mist. A giant boar, standing nearly two meters tall, stomped heavily beneath the dim light of dawn. Its body was wrapped in a thick, coarsely textured layer of black skin, while dozens of gray bone spikes grew protruding irregularly all along its spine down to the base of its tail. A pair of sharply curved tusks extended from its lower jaw, gleaming constantly wi

  • CHAPTER 81 — Escalation of the Forbidden Forest Trial

    Darius lowered his center of gravity once more, adopting his final combat stance with the remnants of his pure muscle strength. The gaze of his eyes turned incredibly sharp and cold, reflecting the ripples of maturity of a true fighter. "And as long as the existence of this monster before me still breathes and possesses the instinct to kill... then my position in this place... cannot yet be tactically categorized as safe."Far above on the branch of the tall tree, Aldric slowly straightened his torso from his leaning position. For the first time since this extreme battle simulation was held since this morning, his arms unclasped from the folds in front of his black cloak's chest.The movement was made not because he intended to leap down and intervene in the match to save his servant's life from the final frenzy phase of the bear. Rather, it was because he wanted to see with a clearer degree of accuracy from the heights; to see with his own pair of eyes what kind of execution decision

  • CHAPTER 80 — The Tendon-Severing Slash

    The Rock Bear roared loudly one last time, releasing all the remaining supply of earth mana within its core, then lunged forward carrying a massive wave of destructive pressure. Darius stamped his foot as well, running to meet the storm without any intention of pulling back his steps or evading to a safe perimeter.The two silhouettes sped fast, cutting the distance separating them within seconds. Exactly one meter before the fatal frontal collision could occur, Darius dropped his entire body structure low to the ground, rolling tactically through the gap beneath the sweep of the monster's front leg.Slash!The tip of the bear’s sharp claw still managed to tear the remaining skin on his back, splashing fresh red fluid into the air. However, Darius refused to lose his combat momentum. While spinning his body on the muddy ground, he raised his greatsword with a two-handed grip reinforced by all the remnants of his energy circulation, then slashed the iron blade with all his might toward

  • CHAPTER 79 — The Former Slave's Free Choice

    The Rock Bear was now precisely a few meters in front of his position, ready to launch a fatal stomp. Darius tried hard to force his leg muscles up, but his motor system failed to support the weight of his armor, causing him to crash heavily back to the ground."Ugh!""Darius! Enough! Don’t force your body anymore!" Nero shouted, his tone filled with genuine panic across the mental frequency."Shut up... don’t interrupt my thoughts, Nero..." Darius hissed hoarsely.He tried once more with the entirety of his remaining mental will. This time, he drove the tip of his greatsword into the dirt, using it as an external support staff to drag his torso upright. His entire physical structure shook violently like a leaf caught in a storm, but he managed to stand tall once again.The bear growled low, glaring sharply at its prey that refused to fall."I... I cannot die in a cursed place like this yet," Darius said with faltering breath, his eyes locking straight onto his opponent's yellow pupil
