Meira screamed a [Cursed Bat] bit onto her arm using Shade Warp she teleported away immediately trying around firing two arrows killing the bat. Hubert growled and slammed his shield down:”Get behind me!” A blast of cursed energy spread out from the [Alpha Cursed Bat] the power washing over them Leo being Level 1 couldn’t get behind the shield in time getting blasted away. Eo groaned as parts of his skin peeled off he broke an arm. Leo smiled manically charging the bat head on but Hubert rammed into him knocking him down. Leo snarled:”What do you think you’re doing!” Hubert growled even more ferociously:”Bastard are you trying to kill your self! We have to work as a team!”
Leo calmed down and slowly approached the bat. This was a huge bat wingspan of 4 meters and 2 meters tall. Peak engaged the bat in close combat swinging her sword around the bat making it impossible for the bat to pin her location. Meira slowly drew her bow shadow energy drawing in to her bow. [Light’s End] activated as a blast of shadow shot out engulfing Peak and the bat. Peak was blasted away. Meira and Peak used to be classmates and they hated each other for reasons unknown to Leo. Sighing Leo looked helplessly at Slasher who was sitting on a tree eating cookies who just waved his hand at Leo. Leo turned around seeing that [Light’s End] burned a hole through the bat’s wing though it wasn’t a major injury to the huge bat. Leo ran up slashing the bat across the face imbuing a small amount of his Void Energy into the slash. A dark purple line slashed across the bat’s face drawing a bloody arc across its face.
Peak ran up unfazed by the earlier friendly fire activated [Sword Array] hundreds of swords sprout out from nowhere and circled Peak creating a mesmerizing array around Peak. Peak slowly moved forward as innumerable swords slashed at the bat. The bat slowly was forced back but then Peak seized the moment activating [Imperial Slash] dashing right in front of the bat. The bat was alarmed and activated a weird skill that seemed to be a mix of a domain skill and a shield skill. The dirt became red and a murky red shield enveloped the bat. But Peak’s staple skill wasn’t that weak as the shield shattered sending the rat flying. Hubert stepped in bashing the rat with the shield driving the bat straight at Leo. Leo pushed off his leg as he infused a sizable chunk of his Void Energy and stabbed the bat. The bat stepped forward through the force of the stab as a purple line drew across the bat’s chest. The bat laughed and turned around unfazed but the line suddenly opened up spilling guts out. The bat opened its eyes in realization right before 4 shadow arrows planted themselves straight into the bat’s head. The bat plunged back falling. The dirt reclaimed its luscious green color and a notification popped on Leo’s screen.
[Alpha Cursed Bat Lv.20] Has Been Slain!
Leo smiled tasting the blood and a surge of kill energy tumbled into his body getting even a small piece of the credit for killing a Lv.20 was major. It seemed like everyone could telepathically sense each other as they sat in unison slowly recovering and pushing towards the next level.
Level Up!
Level Up!
Level Up!
Level Up!
Leo smiled at his new level of 5 feeling his strength basically double. Slasher jumped down from the tree:”You guys suck.” Everyone glared at him. Slasher continued unfazed:”That was a Lv.20 monster that wasn’t even classified as an elite mob in the mob book the guild has given us. Yet you guys with 4 people weren’t able to take it down without any injuries. Your coordination sucks.” Leo groomed over his performance today he wasn’t proud of his outburst he shouldn’t have tried to attack the Level 20 while it was focused on him they could have done much better. Leo sighed feeling helpless as he looked at the quests he still needed to complete.

Leo looked at the most recent one it was due in 3 days he sighed thinking how he was going to kill three Sword Curse Cultivators this far from the frontlines.
But suddenly a knife flew out of nowhere it was a sleek black knife with a reddish hilt. It flew towards Slasher as it combusted the shockwave blew all four of them away but Slasher stood unfazed. In the daggers place was another Hegemon judging by the aura. The Hegemon was cloaked in black and red with two red orbs that gleamed brightly in the swirl of darkness that was where the Hegemon’s eyes should be. Leo felt his bones creak as the Hegemon’s exchanged blows. The cloaked Hegemon slashed at Slasher with a similar knife in a back slash. Slasher’s eyes gleamed and he pulled out his weapon for the first time since Leo met him. A wet blade extended locking the knife in place as the other hand’s fire blade slashed in a diagonal.
The assassin expertly dodged and the fire blade cracked into the ground sending earth quakes full of magma everywhere causing Leo to cough up blood again. The assassin drew out a slender spear and stabbed at a rock that appeared between Slasher and himself the rock exploded forming thousands of little sharp chunks speeding towards Slashers body. Slasher used what seemed to be [Fire Wave] for the first time it was like a tsunami washing over the assassin burning everything in it’s path even burning a path down with no trees hundreds of miles down the line. The assassin seemed unaffected clutching a charm which he threw at Slasher. Slasher grimaced as he saw the charm and used another of his skills [Water Absorption] swallowing the charm up.
The charm that looked like a smiling doll quickly became a demonic baby and the eyes blew apart spewing out red and blackish sludge in the air. The sludge regrouped in the air forming a spear slamming down on Slasher. The skill wasn’t enough and Slasher was slammed into the ground. The assassin spent no time cutting down at Slasher’s head. But Slasher suddenly activated his escaping skill [Mist Fade] melding Fire and Water together Slasher became a gust of mist shooting away dodging the slash. Slasher dodged into the air activated one of his finishers [Worlds End] a tornado of flame engulfed the assassin spinning him around and burning off pieces of cloth around him.
But the assassin seemed to be unaffected smiling maniacally. Slasher grimaced realizing what was the purpose behind this his uncle sent this guy after him giving him all the tools to counter his skills after all his uncle was his mentor he knew his skills almost as good as Slasher knew them. The assassin realizing that Slasher realized the truth smiled larger and a six armed asura appeared from behind the assassin. The asura only showed its upper body but it was enough to dwarf even the giant Slasher the asura bellowed stabbing all six spears at Slasher quickly amping up the speed and strength of each stab. Slasher couldn’t defend it all and had numerous holes punched into his body.
Slasher growled and stopped attacking at all instead opting to use his last ditch method. The assassin smiled as he realized what was going on and threw out a talisman. [Chains Of The Fettered] activated binding Slasher to the ground. Slasher growled unable to move as he felt death loom closer. Leo grimaced as he understood what was about to happen. But then Slasher suddenly ripped the talisman from the ground! “WHAT!” the assassin screamed as he saw Slasher stand up. Slasher was still full of holes but he seemed unbothered as he activated his Transcendence.
