Oliver stood there in a fighting stance, his gaze fixed intently on the incoming gigantic samurai. The samurai arrived within striking distance and swung out its giant blade towards Oliver. Oliver saw the blade head towards him in an incredible speed, and he reacted by lifting his two daggers and stopped the blade.

"Too strong!" Oliver commented, his teeth gritted as he struggled to keep up with the samurai's strength and prevent it from cutting him with its blade. Unable to hold it any longer, Oliver let go and leaped a few meters backwards to create gap, but the samurai closed the gap instantly and swung out his blade towards him.

Oliver managed to react by swirling his body to the side, dodging the strike by a a hair length. The samurai swiftly retrieved his outstretched blade and thrust it towards Oliver's chest.

The blade moved through the air at a tremendous speed, and when it was only inches away from Oliver's chest, Oliver went low and rolled on the floor, causing it the miss its target. Oliver swiftly regained composure and clenched his right hand dagger firmly, before stabbing it forward.

CLANG

The dagger made impact with the samurai's right side, but the armor was impossible to penetrate.

"Damn that armor!" Oliver cursed as he retrieved his blade and leaped backwards, dodging another strike from the samurai.

"If I can't kill it with the daggers then why did you give it to me in the first place?" Oliver voice out, his face bright red in anger as he blocked the samurai's blade with both of his daggers. Before Oliver could regain composure, the right armored leg of the samurai slammed heavily on his chest and sent him flying.

Oliver's body flew across the place until he finally crashed against a wall behind and fell to the floor.

"Argh." He grunted in pain while spitting out both blood and saliva from his mouth. Oliver rose to his feet, his body now covered in bruises and blood trickling down from is mouth.

The samurai stood there meters away from Oliver like he was waiting for him to recover before attacking him again.

"He must think I'm too weak that's why he's giving me the chance to catch my breath." Oliver mused as he lifted his right arm and wiped the blood off his mouth with his sleeve. "If my blade can't penetrate into the armor, I wonder how I am going to kill it. What part of the body isn't protected by armor?" Oliver wondered internally as he got in a fighting stance and clenched his two daggers in his hands.

The samurai glared at him for several more minutes before shooting out like a rocket, and in a blink of an eye he arrived right in front of Oliver.

"This speed..." Oliver exclaimed as the samurai grabbed his collar and flung him like a piece of twig to the other side of the arena. Oliver flew through the air, and before he could crash against the wall, the samurai appeared in front of him and grabbed his collar once more, lifted him high, and slammed him heavily on the floor.

A huge cloud of dust formed as Oliver got slammed on the ground. He laid down there and he could feel several of his bones shattered upon colliding with the ground.

The samurai stood beside Oliver, his gaze fixed on him as he watched him lay down there motionless, waiting for him to recover. Olive laid down there, his head filled with thoughts and he still gripped the daggers firmly in his hands.

"The only part that isn't protected is..." Oliver mused as he clenched the dagger firmly before rising up at a tremendous speed and stabbed his dagger into the eyes of the samurai. "The eyes!" Oliver made a battle cry as he stabbed his second dagger into the second eyes, causing green blood to pour out like rain and the samurai roaring in pain.

Oliver kept pulling it backwards and stabbing it continuously and more blood poured out and filled the whole place, until he finally stopped, and the gigantic body of the samurai hit the floor with a loud thud.

Oliver leaned his hands on his knees while trying to catch his breath. He rose and wiped the green blood that stained his whole face off with his sleeve and glanced at the body of the dead samurai.

Oliver leaned beside the samurai to examine it closely.

"Is it even human? The sound it made while it was being stabbed, it was like that of a monster." Oliver intoned while examining the body. "If it wasn't being so nice, I wouldn't have won. I only trucked it and made it believe I was still recovering, mean while I was planning out my next attack."

While Oliver was busy examining the body, a notification popped up right in front of him.

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE PASSED THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST]

[YOU WILL NOW BE TRANSPORTED BACK TO YOUR HOME]

Receiving those last sets of notifications,Olive vanished from the arena and now found himself back in his room. 

"Thank goodness." Oliver let out a heavy sigh of relief as he sat down on his bed and stretched his body. "Strange, I do not feel any pains. Also, my injuries are gone?" Oliver's eyes widened in shock after glancing at his body, but his bruises were gone.

Even his broken bones were fixed and he didn't feel exhausted like he felt seconds ago.

"Was all that a dream or hallucination?" Oliver rubbed his chin in bewilderment.

While Oliver was busy with his thoughts, a notification popped up beside him and he shifted his gaze towards it.

[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE PASSED THE ACCEPTANCE QUEST AND THE DIVINE TALENT HAS BEEN GRANTED TO YOU]

[CLICK ON THE SYSTEM INTERFACE TO LEARN MORE]

Oliver read through the notification with his fingers rubbing his chin.

"Is this truly what I think it is? If it is, then I would definitely stop being the trash everyone knows me as and I shall rise to the top and achieve my dreams." Oliver pondered internally.

    The cold wind screamed past Commander Oliver’s face. He was falling. The beautiful wings of light were gone. The Sword of Radiance in his hand was no longer a glowing weapon. The ancient creators had judged him. They saw the dark magic in his blood. They turned the holy sword into a heavy, useless piece of dead gray stone. Oliver dropped like a rock toward the burning abyss. He did not panic. He watched the solid stone plateau rushing up to meet him. He calculated his speed. He measured the exact distance to the ground. He waited until the last possible microsecond. Oliver aimed his pitch-black, Wraithborn metal right arm straight down at the ground. He released a massive, concentrated pulse of dark gravity magic. The invisible shockwave hit the stone floor. The opposite force pushed Oliver violently upward, breaking his fall. He crashed heavily onto the hard rock. He rolled three times through the thick gray dust. He slammed into the side of a broken boulder and stopped. For a

    Commander Oliver stared straight up. The red clouds were not clouds. They were the soft, wet, bleeding flesh of a giant throat. Millions of jagged black teeth hung miles above their heads. The teeth were the size of mountains. The entire planet of Sigma-12 was already swallowed. Oliver, his terrified squad, and the two dark gods were standing on a tiny rock inside the belly of the Overlord. "We are inside it," Billy the hacker whispered. He dropped his cracked tablet. His eyes were wide with total horror. "The sky is a mouth. We are going to be eaten." Captain Iris fell to her knees. General Vega lowered her gun. The human soldiers lost all their hope. The Anti-God floated in the hot air. It wore the stolen, rotting face of the dead Archangel. It laughed a wet, terrible laugh. "You see the truth now, little machine," the Anti-God mocked. "You cannot fight a cage when you are already inside the stomach. Put the shiny sword down. Die quietly." Oliver did not put the sword down. Hi

    The explosion of pure light and dark magic inside Commander Oliver’s fist ripped the ground apart. The fiery abyss below opened wide. Millions of tons of rock tumbled into the boiling orange lava. Oliver did not fall. He released the explosive magic from his hand. The blast pushed him straight up into the air. He grabbed the heavy, broken body of Archangel Seraphael with his human arm. "Hold on!" Oliver shouted to his squad. The kinetic shockwave carried them all. General Vega, Sergeant Miller, and the others rode the blast of hot air. They flew upward, escaping the collapsing cliff. They crashed onto a high, flat plateau of black stone. It was the tallest peak in the ruined valley. Below them, the entire continent finally crumbled. The land sank into the ocean of liquid fire. The heat was blinding, but the high plateau stood firm. Oliver laid the giant angel gently on the ground. Seraphael was barely breathing. The black curse from the Reaper’s scythe had eaten almost his entir

    The two dark gods floated down from the bleeding red sky. The Anti-God smiled. Its face was a rotting, fleshy copy of Seraphael. Dark blood dripped from its mouth. The Reaper did not smile. It wore a dark hood of pure, swirling void. It held a massive scythe made of dead, crushed stars. Commander Oliver stood at the very edge of the burning cliff. He held his small titanium combat knife in his human left hand. His black metal right arm hung quietly at his side. He did not show any fear. His cold mind saw the exact level of danger. Behind him, the human squad trembled. General Vega held her empty crystal rifle. Sergeant Miller guarded the weeping civilians. They had no place to run. The cliff dropped away into a boiling river of orange lava."They are going to erase us," Billy the hacker whispered. He hugged his cracked tablet to his chest. The Reaper glided forward in the air. It raised its giant, starry scythe high above its hooded head. It did not aim at Oliver’s neck. It aimed

    The bleeding, fleshy angel smiled. Thick, dark blood dripped from its rotting teeth. Archangel Seraphael stared at the horrific copy of himself. The great golden warrior fell to his knees. He dropped his lightning spear. His holy light faded into a weak, sad glow. He could not fight a monster that wore his own face and was made of dead human hands. "Brother," the corrupted angel mocked. The Overlord’s dark voice echoed from its throat. "I have come to bring you into the dark." The creature raised its spear of black shadows. It aimed at Seraphael’s heart. Commander Oliver did not freeze. He did not feel pity. He saw the danger clearly. If the golden angel died, the squad would lose their only heavy shield. Oliver lunged forward. He kicked the heavy golden lightning spear across the glass floor. The weapon slid directly into Seraphael’s armored hands. "Pick up your weapon," Oliver ordered. His voice was cold, sharp steel. "That is not your brother. It is a biological trick. It is

  • Chapter 821

    The freezing, skeletal fingers of the Reaper crushed Commander Oliver’s throat. They fell together through the pitch-black void. The wind roared. The god-killer stared into Oliver’s eyes. The monster’s empty, dark hood hid its face, but Oliver felt its terrible hunger. The Reaper raised its other hand. Long, sharp bone claws reached for Oliver’s chest. The monster wanted the alien black coin buried inside his flesh. Oliver could not breathe. His black metal right arm was pinned against his side. His human left hand tried to push the monster away, but the Reaper was as heavy as a mountain. His vision began to turn dark. His perfect mind knew he had exactly three seconds left to live. Suddenly, the dark void exploded with blinding golden light. Archangel Seraphael flew through the empty space like a falling star. The giant angel had recovered. His massive wings of hard white light beat furiously. He raised his sparking lightning spear. The spear smashed into the Reaper’s skeletal
