TAP!TAP!TAP
A wrinkled-faced man, having few strands of white hair covering his face in a cloak, walked towards the figure staring down the mountain with a solemn gaze.
"What are you doing here, Harris? Are you still torturing him?"
"Can you even imagine what I am going through because of your reckless behavior?!" The man shouted angrily.
Harris'' eyes shone with astonishment when he saw the familiar figure.
"I didn''t think you would crawl out from the shell and appear here."
"It''s because I didn''t have any choice. My life is in peril. Believe me, I may die any moment from now." The man spoke with a horrified expression.
"I see, so you came here to hide. I thought you came here to observe him." Harris spoke, rubbing his chin.
"That''s also a part of it. How is he doing?"
"Do you want me to be brutally honest?"
"Hmm!" The obscure figure nodded.
"He is average. I know it is unbelievable but astonishingly, he''s just ordinary whenpared to you."
The figure''s eyes turned down with a saddened expression.
"That''s what I thought initially, however, I was proved wrongpletely." Harris said with a bitter smile before continuing.
"Heaven is never fair. It treats people partially. I thought that the heavens had taken everything away from him but it seems that it still showed some leniency."
"What do you mean?" The figure eximed in shock.
"He didn''t have raw talent but he had good perception. I always thought that his sixth sense is beyond ordinary, however, that''s not the only thing." Harris''s eyes turned serious.
"Instinct… His instincts are on a wholepletely different level and it''s beyond inhumane. This is weird. His body can react to any situation by sensing danger. Even if he passes out, his body can react to extreme situations."
"How is that possible?! You are speaking as if he is someone who has gone through countless battles." The wrinkled man eximed in shock.
"That''s what I don''t know. His body reacts as if it had a muscle memory of countless fights he had gone through and it onlyes to y when he needs to react to the precarious situation. At present, I can only say that this is a miracle."
"I am also finding it hard to restrain myself from pushing him too much and breaking him down. An ordinary guy with immense potential is the best vessel to contain the wrath. I wish I could make him more desperate."
The man''s expression turned ugly upon hearing Harris''s words.
"You mean…"
Harris didn''t care about the man''s bewildered expression and spoke indifferently.
"Whether a person is a monster or genius. Everyone suffers setbacks. Some grow stronger after they fall while some wither. But no matter what, people lose control of their emotions when pushed beyond what they are capable of. " Harris paused a little and stared at the sky before continuing.
"People make rash decisions when they go out of control. However, this is where we are different. We don''t lose ourselves in anger, we don''t turn crazy after suffering grievances, rather we be calmer and more rational. Emotions fuel us and enrich us. We are just a different league of monsters, that don''t go crazy losing our reason, instead we harness emotion to be stronger." Harris''s breathing became rough, his expression became weird and his face flushed with excitement giving the man the creeps.
"If I can break him down, I am sure this world will witness the birth of another asura."
"You are dreaming too much Harris. She will kill you before you do that!"The man screamed.
Cold water poured over Harris upon hearing that.
"I don''t fear her." Harris said nonchntly, shrugging his shoulders.
The man squinted his eyes at Harris and raised his brows.
"Your legs are telling something else."
Although Harris stood straight,the man could see his legs turning jelly and wobbling.
"Haa...It seems that even the Red Death can''t ovee the trauma of confronting her." The man sneered mocking Harris.
Hearing this, Harris couldn''t help but shiver on remembering the scene of that woman who not only pulled out his intestine but also used his intestine to whip his ass and tear his hands to p him with them.
It was then a loud cling echoed across the foot of the mountain.
"It''s beginning."
.......
Lucas didn''t know if Harris could control the beasts here but the moment Harris threw him into the forest to train, he found himself surrounded by the horde of beasts.
It was as if the entire forest had identified him as their enemy.
"Liarrrrrr!"
Lucas screamed in horror, finding himself surrounded by a horde of 4-Star beasts.
"Argh!"
Lucas groaned as a shadow panther scratched his back. He hardly bnced himself when he felt a piercing pain over his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw a wriggling bug digging its cusp into him.
At that time, with a loud bang a huge wolf mmed its huge body against him sending him flying across the ce.
Rolling in pain, Lucas coughed blood and fell stumbling across his feet.
''Am I this weak even after so much match training?''
''Why am I so pathetic?''
''I can''t even deal with a group of beasts ganging up on me so what am I going to do if I am surrounded by those assholes in the tournament?''
''I can''t lose. I had enough beating.''
Lucas''s heart thumped wildly.
A growl echoed and Lucas''s eyes blinked, catching the sight of a wide opened jaw of a panther jumping at him. It wanted to bite and tear his neck.
''Kill it.''
''Destroy it.''
A heavy terrifying voice echoed in his ears.
Lucas''s eyes widened and time slowed down.
Just as the beast was a few inches away from him, a terrifying pressure emerged from him.
At that time, a certain thought came into his mind.
''All of them feel weak.''
''Weak..''
Lucas waved his hand, whipping it like lightning.
BANG!
The jaw of a shadow leopard roaring at him was crushed with a bang.
The entire head of the beast was sted away making blood and grey matter from the brain spew around.
One on the left, two from the right, and three from the back.
Lucas''s hands moved, and the dagger shot like thunder. With a puck, he split the head of the one rushing at him, then turned around and shot two daggers at once that lodged straight into the skull of the animal that wasing from the right.
To the three beastsing from the back, Lucas stretched his arm, grabbed the blood-red sword and pushed his front foot onto the ground.
A thump echoed radiating shock waves across the ce.
Lucas drew out his de like lightning. A de coated in a fiery golden-red aura shot forward.
The space trembled and reddish golden w-like marks scratched the air. The reddish-golden aura raised the temperature of the ce and as the three shadow panthers passed through the w marks, their body strayed for a moment after which with a loud whimper, their bodies split into two halves.
[You have killed a 4-Star. You have experienced 45000 experience points.]
[You have killed a 4-Star. You have experienced 45000 experience points.]
[You have killed a 4-Star. You have experienced 40000 experience points.]
[You have killed a 4-Star. You have experienced 45000 experience points.]
[You have killed a 4-Star. You have experienced 47000 experience points.]
[You have.....]
Lucas''s ear perked up hearing arge inflow of experience points but he was too focused to scream in happiness.
His eyes turned towards the group, making them shiver in fear.
"Come here, you stupid beast."
"I am quite annoyed."
"Let me take my anger out on you. I will butcher you today."
BANG!
Lucas, body darted ahead leaving behind after images.
Every time Lucas swung his sword, an explosion erupted without fail. The overloaded mana condensed on his sword, exploded scattering blood and meat everywhere.
Countless crimson arcs scratching the air lit the ce. The swings were clean and sharp carrying an exploding might that hammered the enemy with rapid strong strokes.
It can either turn into a sharp stroke that slices through the enemy or be packed with power that detonates, sending the enemy flying.
What''s surprising was that this stick de was so dull and blunt that it couldn''t even cut through butter. However, the moment mana ovepped it, the de became sharp enough to slice a giant tree.
It amplified your power and channelized your aura to cut through sharply.
Every time he kills, Lucas feels a blood-red energy-sipping inside it. Lucas didn''t know what it was but this was a quite miraculous feeling.
Loud wails and shrieks of the beast echoed throughout the ce. The ground shook, the trees vibrated, and dust dissipated as the fight went on.
.....
As Harris reached the ce, what reflected him was a gruesome sight of one side''s massacre
"Oh my!" Harris gasped seeing the gruesome sight of corpses littered across the ce.
The blood of the corpses was still warm and the head of the beast that was killed seemed to be frozen with fear.
Seeing this, one could infer that person didn''t fight, he butchered everything on sight.
The corpses were dismantled and hacked into countless pieces as if the person was letting out his untold agony.
Some were cut while some were pulverised into meat paste with raw punches and kicks.
As Harris walked through the ce avoiding stepping on the blood and meat, he finally saw Lucas leaning across the tree and staring up with cold dead gazes.
"Sir Harris, can we get out of here."
"I miss ice cream and choctes."
Hearing Lucas''s words, Harris almost fell back on his butt.
''It seems, too much training has affected him.''
Walking towards him, Harris pulled out a candy.
"I know you have a sweet tooth. Here take this, I will treat you well after we get out."
"Umm!"
Lucas nodded while relishing the chocte.
''It''s over. This damned hell of training is finally over.''
"By the way, next time finish them in one strike. Don''t make these poor guys suffer." Harris advised
"Okay, I will blow up their entire body in one hit so that these pitiful guys don''t feel pain."
The man who stayed on the mountain coughed violently seeing their interaction.
"It''s over. This guy has just created another psychopath."
