[Beeb. Boob. Biib...] the noise seemed to turn mechanical, emitting some notes to Murai in waves and shimmering noises. He figured it wasn''t up to his mind or soul but to his ears. Everyone in his surroundings probably heard it too, but he didn''t ask or care about it.
<div>
<div>
[Challanger number 5409.] a female voice said suddenly, speaking as if reciting a nice comforting story. It wasn''t one bit unnatural, which was surprising, and no longer mechanical. [Levandis Temple greets the challenger in his journey by the degree of Mindarch and Lady Levandis. It is under the Rules of Mindarch''s desire to connect and proceed to great Challanger''s interest.]
<div>
<div>
[Mindarch spoke, and by his degree, the tides of rewards and challenges shall go hand in hand with Mindarch, along with Will of the Battleworld''s procedures.]
<div>
<div>
[The first batch of interest was already conveyed. Thus, certain variables went over more research, and readings, unfolding and becoming clearer so Mindarch will have to adjust them according to Challengers needs.]
<div>
<div>
[For now, the past is under Mindarch, so let''s go over your current challenge, consisting of a couple of facts after spending some time in the Undead Gate of Suffering and fighting the Undead Waves for the past hours]
<div>
<div>
[Undead Squad of 20 Skeletons are among your current wave, albeit with dwindled numbers. Levels are ranging between 15 and 17. Armor range from dogshit to poor quality.]
<div>
<div>
[Pathless]
<div>
<div>
[Talentless tools]
<div>
<div>
[Then there are 4 Undead Knights ranging from level 32 to 35]
<div>
<div>
[2 are under Path of Vanguard of their very early stage called: Warden]
<div>
<div>
[2 have proficiency in weapons under common knighthood. Path of a Knight. 1st stage: Knight Apprentice]
<div>
<div>
[Level of difficulty is of Grade D according to the Welcoming Party and brief readings that Mindarch allowed to convey. And then there is...]
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
[Change in status... Mindarch acknowledges the limits and challengers'' disturbances. Recalculating...] She sighed as if fed up with living, sounding as if she stepped on a shit.
<div>
<div>
[Possession of the magic found, bloodline.. incalculable. Encounter too? The hell? Shackles found and restricted. Species'' properties are limited and understood for about 30%. Creating answers, information, and proceedings under the Mindarch and it is... Eh?]
<div>
<div>
[Mindarch acknowledges the might of the Encounter as a bother but acknowledgment from Levandis is not found.]
<div>
<div>
[Mindarch desires full to limited authority.]
<div>
<div>
[Do you wish to proceed?] the voice asked out of the blue. At least she wasn''t shouting, but she sure sounded as if she didn''t want to speak.

[Acknowledgment succeeded.] The female voice said, sounding crips and glad, before turning to silence, until the Mindarch finished his job.

[Greetings, Challenger with the name of M. Terms are presented.] Mindarch said. [I will be an addition to the Guide''s interests, and follow the premise of Levandis Temple. It will be brief, following the rules set upon the Encounter''s interest and outside influences. Upon our agreement, I am aware of M''s interests, influences, and possibilities. It gives this challenge an additional taste under my rules, but it is under my watch. That means a touch to your spirit, so if I may?]
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
[Readings concluded. Excellent! Following necessary Gates will be prone to Surface and temple''s interest. In addition, the Will of the Battleworld will bear its worth against the Encounter and my rules, which adds this a weird flavor, and also problems I had to... resolve.]
<div>
<div>
[I am the sense, and presently, there are a few issues: Deal with M''s Encounter, which is... unique problem. It goes by my position, steeming from non-political and individual opportunities, void of shackles and other problems. This is such a temple. Such a place to follow dreams, shatter them, and care less about the Sky. The ruler and mind of this temple is worth of a proper Challenger, which M stands at all fronts.]
<div>
<div>
[Thus, a temporary title is granted as long as M is in the temple.]
<div>
<div>
[Archtouched.]
<div>
<div>
[Grade S: Mark of Mindarch''s intent]
[It grants a certain temporary connection to the rules and setup upon my individual calculations and M''s potency. How, M wonders?] Mindarch spoke as if knowing Murai''s thoughts. [According to my inner rules, Challengers slide into a few categories depending on their performance, origin, and care of the world. M is at the Top Tier bracket, and worthy of special interest by a few factors. First: Blessed Anatidae. Second: Involvement in the Surface with various notions. Third: Young age, current pathless power, and certain emptiness. Fourth: absolute dread!]
<div>
<div>
[It is only fitting to befit this choice in a better light, which stems...] Mindarch stumbled in his voice as if hiccuping. He didn''t follow the sentence.
<div>
<div>
[It is only fitting for a Guide to guide the Challenger, and for a temple to provide additional care. That is that.] He let some things go as if undecided over something.
<div>
<div>
[Thus, I''ve decided on something special, by the degree of Unique-Level power called Godmark.]
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
[Godmark: It is a unique status under unique circumstances and rules outside of regular influences. It gives rise to chances. M is worthy of this change, but it may or may turn into a disaster instead.]
<div>
<div>
[Dangers involved in M''s interest are various, stemming from the Surface and beyond.]
<div>
<div>
[M is aware of some of them, so let me be brief for the sake of the current wave.]
<div>
<div>
[First of the many possible Breaches will be gained upon finishing the current wave, followed by more in the upcoming Gates.]
<div>
<div>
[After the finish of the fight, the Godmark, and Archtouched will provide mutual benefits and necessary actions, along with further information.]
<div>
<div>
[All is for the faith and sake of M.]

They, or the Mindarch want to test my status quo. Before this wave, undead attacked me fiercely without a bother of the fog, or was the Mindarch why it was like that? He spoke to me... along with Lorry and his interest. Or... they feel my threat and choose to wait for me since it is part of their strategy? Expecting that from such measly little undead fools is laughable, but what if it makes sense from their standpoint? I had to act, as a Challenger. They may also sense me to a certain extent but lack the means of control, flexibility, and attention. They are also stupid and lack a proper head. Their previous strategy to stand around like fools wasn''t right. Their remaining cannon fodder stands after them. Fine... I am clearing my head and the strategy is clear. Murai deducted, feeling he was right, even though he was half right, half wrong.
<div>
<div>
<div>

<div>
<div>
<div>

A test, huh? I will butcher them without an issue. Murai thought, feeling his chances rising and he decided on his move.

life in a mere moment. Eye socket was a weakness Murai figured in a couple of first waves. A spear arrow pushed through the socket,t and cracked its head, regardless of its higher level or powers provided by Mindarch or this temple. It crumbled their formation and ended the skull-less knight a few meters away.

life of the last shield-bearing knight in a brutality and unlikely power. Even the continuous power of the arrows hit one of the knights afterward. It wasn''t enough to end its life, but a destroyed limb was enough to lower its power.
What an overbearing power, Lisa thought to herself.
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<div>
How stupid... Murai thought to himself. As the knights ran toward the fog at a fast speed, they didn''t expect what occurred next. Murai clutched the arrow within his beak and ran into them.

Phe! Well fought, I suppose. Murai thought to himself, revealing a rather indifferent expression after he killed them all, He retrieved his head from the knight''s cracked body, uncaring about the little bones that remained on his head. He calmed down, and the only thing that changed his expression was what happened next. Mana essences spread their light around the ground, creating light and bliss to his senses.
