"Alexa, was he not supposed to be just above level 50?" said Ibrahim with a brow raised.
"He was, but clearly he isn't. He must have somehow cleared the dungeon we showed him with someone, the question is who."
Alexa was troubled by this. There is no way someone can clear a 3-star dungeon solo unless they were over level 90. Even Musashi and Dragonheart had to at least be above level 80. So the question remains, who had helped the young man? Little did they know that the little freak had done this by himself, and the only witness of this feat was taking a nice shower, ignorant of the whole thing.
"Achoo! Argh, is someone thinking about me? Oh well. Oh~ Written in the stars~ A million miles away~"
Duke continued to scrub himself while singing. Without a single care in the world, after all, nothing could possibly endanger him. He was just a small fry who knew nothing and had no enemies…or so he thought.
Will stood there in mid-air, waiting for the old man's next move. His face
was relaxed and his countenance composed. As if he was not in danger at all. This irritated the old man to no end. After all, he was a well-known powerhouse! But he was failing to kill a snot-nosed brat who was levels below him. If word got out of this, he would be a laughing stock!
'It must be that class of his. It must give him some sort of advantage. This makes me want it more.'
The old man disappeared and unleashed a constant barrage of water blades at Will, to no success. But he did not give up. As time went on, the intensity and strength of the attacks increased.
As the old man's eyes turned green with envy at Will's class, Taiga spoke to Alexa about some interesting news.
"I've got the information. His name is Old Man Mu. He is a state lord who recently submitted to Aurora Phoenix's alliance."
The author's tale has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.
Alexa focused on the old man's visage, "So he is an assassin sent by her? Interesting."
Taiga shook his head, "I'm afraid that's not what's really interesting about this old man."
Taiga's words were successful in arousing everyone's interest. Taiga was a stoic man who never really showed feelings, no matter the situation in battle, much like Ibrahim, hence it was odd to hear him express his interest in this situation.
"C'mon you, stinky ninja, talk!" said an impatient Francisco, who despite saying this, was actually ogling Salty, much to Merlin's chagrin. From nowhere Woodsy had gotten a bad of jerky and was munching ferociously, but her attention never left Will. Nzou could not help but sigh while Karim was still depressed. Just what on earth had Nzou done to him?
"His class is Hydromancer!"
Taiga's words gathered a collective gasp. Even Ibrahim was visibly shocked, but still very handsome. The reason everyone was shocked was simple. Hydromancer was one of the classes possed by one of the Six Supremes!
The woman who possessed this class was said to be unkillable, due to the classes signature trait. It allowed one to convert their entire body into water! Her nickname was the Undying Witch due to this trait. Not only could one change their body into water, but they could also produce large amounts of water from their own bodies to attack. If they physically came into contact with a body of water, then they would also be able to manipulate it.
Due to Old Man Mu possessing such a famous class, he was well known throughout the world. Although he was not as powerful as the Undying Witch, he was still strong none the less.
"It seems he took a different path to hers. Instead of using the traits of the class to their maximum like the Undying Witch did, he makes use of an odd teleportation skill."
Even if two people started with the exact same class, their fighting style would not be the same, after all, other skills could be learned or picked up along the way. The Undying Witch could be an assassin, but not as efficient as the old man.
"We do not know the name of the skill he is using, but we do know what it can do. According to our sources, the old man has a personal dimension he can visit. And like mine, his dimension is an exact replica of the one we live in. He can enter his dimension, move to a different position, then exit it, resulting in this teleportation like phenomenon."
Taiga's words enlightened everyone as they watched the old man continue with his barrage of water blades.
"Even though it's similar to Taiga's ability, there must be a catch." Said Merlin.
"Indeed there is. Each time he enters his dimension consumes a large amount of his qi. At this rate, he will probably reach his limit soon." Said Taiga.
"Then his ability is still weaker than yours." Said Gabby after some thought. Everyone nodded to her words.
"It's still a very useful and powerful ability, let's see how he well he fused this skill with his class skills," said Salty with a smug grin. Despite how everyone has praised the skill, each person here was a former supreme candidate after all.
To them dispatching this old man was child's play. It was more about learning about the Hydromancer class, after all, who knows? Perhaps one of them would fight along the Undying Witch one day, or even worse, fight against her. Only Alexa was one hundred percent focused on Will, after all, she was a Ghost, not a former Supreme Candidate.
