[Death is now available.]Swoosh!A long sickle made of darkness appeared in Luke's hand.The dark scythe gave an ominous feeling to anyone just looking at it.A weapon that embodies death itself, the [Sickle of Harvest].In many cultures, death has been personified as a figure that carries a sickle or scythe.In some mythologies, this figure was called the Grim Reaper, who was often depicted as a skeletal figure draped in a black robe and carrying a scythe or sickle.This sickle was a representation of that, which could itself be imbued with not only Aura, but Mana or any other energy, allowing it to cut through almost anything.In addition to its seemingly cheat-like power, the sickle could also drain the life force or soul of those it struck, making it a horrifying and gruesome weapon.Though it wasn't the end of it, mentioning it was unnecessary because, in his current condition, Luke would still suffer a significant rebound even if he used the aforementioned abilities correctly.
A few minutes ago.As soon as he hit the ground, Luke glanced at the stream of notifications coming in before turning his weary face to the sky.But deeply hidden in his face was a diabolically evil smile.It was due to the fact that before he fell to the ground and looked around, there was destruction all around him with no life present in any form whatsoever.In addition to this, he was not granted any sort of reward for defeating the Demon Knight, nor was he moved to a new location to begin a new trial.Because of this, he was instantly aware that the trial had reached its conclusion and that it was almost time for the person who was the mastermind behind this scene to reveal themselves.Therefore, he waited, acted injured, and secretly communicated with the system in his mind.'System, can't you just utilize my remaining points and heal me directly?'[Because the host's strength has reached Grandmaster rank, the host does not have enough Destiny Coins to make use of the power of t
Gulp! Feeling the coldness in Luke's voice, a chill ran down Lilly's spine. However, she resisted acting frightened or weak in front of this man, who was her enemy. "Okay... Lilly... will tell you everything." She tried desperately to sound tough, but her words betrayed her inner vulnerability. But all of a sudden, she remembered something that she didn't fully understand, and she asked. "My connection to your past?" "Yes, you're connected to my past life. I know you, Lilly. I have memories of you." "I don't understand." Lilly tilted her head in confusion at Luke's nonchalant attitude. To which he just shrugged my shoulders. "I don't too..." Then he pretended to be thinking back to a very distant memory while maintaining a serious expression. And Lilly didn't interrupt him, waiting instead for his response. Luke spoke after a few seconds. "Since I was little, I have had these vague memories of this inheritance space, like I knew about this place in the past. Moreover, I k
"Did you really believe me? Haw! Our Lilly is now acting so innocent. B*tch."Luke's hand, which had been softly stroking Lilly's cheek, abruptly became rough, and viciousness flashed before Luke's eyes.He held Lilly down on the ground by grabbing her by the neck and then using his ability, "Poisonous Mist," to render her body helpless.A faint green mist surrounded Lilly's body.She was using her healing ability to try to keep herself alive, but she knew she wouldn't have long to live if she continued like this.It was then that, looking at her struggle, Luke spoke in a mocking tone."Oh! Well, you might have already figured it out by now, but yes, I am not the first hero. Hehe,"A look of despair crossed Lilly's face after she heard Luke's words and felt her paralyzed body, unable to even lift a finger, but it was mostly anger at having been tricked."What? Don't look at me like that, my little Lilly. Do you think that after trying to kill me and making me suffer and lose so much,
Chirp! Chirp! Birds chirped outside, and the first few rays of morning sun came into the room. In the middle of the room, a young, handsome man was sleeping soundly on a bed covered with bandages. However, his sleep couldn't continue for long as he slowly opened his eyes. ... As soon as I opened my eyes slowly, I was greeted with a flurry of system notifications and a familiar ceiling, but I immediately pushed aside the notifications and got up with my body aching all over. I was sitting on the bed, my body wrapped in bandages, when I realized that the room I was in was strange yet somehow familiar. "Ugh!" And at that moment, a severe headache caused me to groan in discomfort. Memories of what happened came to me, and I finally understood the ins and outs of the situation I was in. "Ah, so I am in the Cathedral of the Southern Territory, where Archbishop Lady Sylvia resides. But how long was I out?" Looking at the time and date in the system window, I determined that I had b
The scorching sun beat down mercilessly upon the desolate desert landscape, casting an oppressive heat over the small village that lay on the outskirts of the Red Storm Duchy, near the border of the Holy Kingdom and the kingdom of Netopia. The wind whispered through the barren dunes, carrying with it a gritty haze that swirled around Luke, who stood atop a sand-swept hill, overlooking the humble dwellings below. A cunning glimmer flickered in his eyes as he surveyed the surroundings. This village was called Emberbrook, and it was the hideout for the nefarious organization known as Dawn. Although Luke had already prepared a plan of attack with the church yesterday, he couldn't shake off the sense of foreboding that had settled within him. He suspected that the information was purposefully leaked by Dawn and that this setup was merely a trap, a ploy by the cunning members of Dawn to ensnare him. That was why, driven by his intuition, Luke decided to deviate from the original plan.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows across the village of Emberbrook, Luke's plan was set into motion.Outraged by Luke's account and his assumptions about the fate of the families in the village, Archbishop Sylvia gave the order for her forces to make a rapid approach from the desert landscape outside the village."Everyone, attack with full force and fulfill the tasks assigned to you. Don't let even a single one of these heinous demons leave alive today.""Yes!!"...Inside the village, Luke came out of concealment, no longer hiding behind his peddler's guise. His eyes narrowed in calculation as he took note of the situation.The time for subtlety and deception had come to an end. It was time to unleash the full force of his meticulously planned assault.With a flick of his wrist, Luke activated the red beads he had carefully planted throughout the village.As if responding to his command, a translucent veil descended upon Emberbrook, shrouding it in a mysterio
With all his strength, Aric charged forward and swung a powerful overhead blow at Luke's head.Swoosh!Luke swiftly ducked, evading the attack and retaliating with a lightning-fast thrust towards Aric's chest, who deflected the blow with a skillful parry, but the force of the impact pushed him back.Immediately, he jumped back a few steps and created some distance.Both Aric and Luke stood facing each other, their swords poised for battle.The tension between them was palpable as they locked eyes, finding a gap in each other's defenses to push through.With this small confrontation, Aric understood that Luke was more powerful than he had imagined, but he wasn't the least bit worried because this was all within his margin of error."I wouldn't have thought you would come to fight me alone; should I say you're brave or foolish?""...""It's commendable that even while being a Sword Master you're able to exert power compared to a Sword Grandmaster. However, if you think that it would be
