Book 1:Chapter 33: The Harvest.

BOOM!

A loud impact due to the combined strength of the Liuoybruch, but shockingly where Regal was nothing was hit. Completely empty and Regal jumped upwards but when looking closely he has his eyes close!

At that moment a tingling station from his back, of course he can't change position midair, So he cross his scythe in his back with his hands braced for the impact.

PENG!

Making him fall to the ground and dug towards the litter of flesh, but he ignored it. He jump back again still his eyes close.

'Damn it, being a strong person having to adjust in a weakened state. Like a king suddenly being a peasant, maybe this is what they feel when they lose power.' Groaning after bracing that impact I don't think I can achieve what I'm even achieving which is honing instinct with closed eyes.

I opened my eyes and battle deciding to end the fight completely wiping out all the Liuoybruch that he can see.

Slumping to the floor with blood around my body I don't care, because the stats rise up gradually I manage to adjust. But being a rage bull to a tired bunny isn't possible to adjust. All the fatigue hit me, mental tiredness all of my body sore at the brunt of those hits. When my body is strong I can ignore this damage. But those stats isn't permanent and I'm jot perfectly conditioned to that state anyway.

This wrack my body with pain and I almost faint out bur before that happen I manage to call Mingyun over and told him to carry me.

...

At the intersection of the two valley outside the mist. Exactly where we camp before entering the second time. The surrounding eerie silence, brown almost black soil also the quite dark surrounding. It's already night time.

Only the thick gray mist the bonfire and nothing else can be seen.

Waking up due to the smell of a roast meat full of bondages and rumbling stomach I manage to open my eyes, but when I tried to get up bolts of pain greeted me like a giving me a warm hug.

"Damn it! Arghhh F*ck! I let out curses which startled Mingyun roasting a meat.

"You're awake young master, you're an absolute beast out there. In that state you can slaughter anyone. Can I ask you one thing young master? " Obvious fawning greets and a question.

"Sure go ahead sorry I startled you, and thank you for carrying me out here and treating my wound." Greeting my teeth due to the pain.

"Is that one of your skills the more enemy it seems you're stronger young master." Mingyun asked while continued roasting the meat.

"You can say that, but there's a few limitation and it's actually my first time using it like this. I mean the scale is different" I answered but didn't explain to much nor do I have to.

"I see you're awesome young master, but why is it from time to time you're closing your eyes and tanks hits? Is that the limitations?" Mingyun ask cutting a portion of meat and proceeded to handing over towards me.

I started to feel embarrassed but maybe it's the best to leave it at that? But he's my subordinate after all.

"I got greedy, I thought I'm strong enough exploiting that skill I have. But clearly it doesn't work, I tried to hone my battle instinct like fighting even with your eyes closed. Since it's and endless battle I planned to hone my senses there bur as you can see I clearly failed. Embarrassing as it is I told you even I isn't that special as you think, and I'm still working hard myself you should too."

'Basically I'm trying to find a shortcut fighting that many enemy to be an expert overnight. But reality struck me hard I'm greedy also reckless.'

I don't know why I said that but it's true, we all need to work hard we're not a son of heaven that everything will be given to us.

Mingyun clearly understood this feeling ashamed but building up more resolve this kinds of words help. Help build a character and confidence.

"Let's explore next time we got heal, how are your gains? How many points did you get?" Changing the topic I asked while chewing meat.

Letting me see his stats I nod in approval this really is a great harvest, so even he killed 127.

Only few when compare to Regal but still a hundred monster in one hunt.

"You should improve your physic in training too. And also adjust and familiarize yourself in your new constitution every time you got stronger. In that battle I experience stats rise exponentially but as you can see it takes toll in my body, and also being not used to the feeling will bring you trouble." Regal said

'Or maybe it's just me because the number of stats really is utterly incredible.

QUEST:

[THE 50TH DAY ON THE PATH OF THE INVINCIBILITY]

-CLEAR THE TOWER OF DEMISE

✓ REACH LEVEL 100-

QUEST REWARD: UNKNOWN

I leveled up but as expected without the reward from the 'PATH OF INVINCIBILITY' I won't even achieve this ridiculous stats.

'Way past level 100 now. But why does it feels like the more stronger I grew, the weaker I feel. The smaller I feel does the saying true? The ignorant and weak you are, the view of the world is small. While you grew, the more you learn how weak and insignificant you are. maybe that's I'm feeling right now, another reminder to always train and be cautious.'

'I sure got it easy since my awakening, all the potential and this Scythe even the skill seems surreal. But this is also the reminder that I need to train mo than everybody.'

Mingyun only nodded since that's only an obvious and he also saw how it happened.

...

The dusk pass dawn arrived and as expected Regal can now move freely, tho he must not fight crazily like yesterday. There's still pain but not impending his movements.

"What do you think shall we continue to explore or wait for me to recover? Well looking at this silent valley's making me crazy." I ask Mingyun.

"It's up to you young master, I mean that valley is dangerous but personally I'm also curious. And anticipating what's the real key or treasure in that paradise." Mingyun replied.

"Paradise? Do you think it's odd seeing that it's a place of paradise, yet those abomination exist?" I asked and smile at Mingyun.

"Now that you mentioned it young master it is indeed odd. And not even destroying the surroundings those life suckers live there." Mingyun now realized something really is odd to the point that it sends the shiver to his spine.

Of course I explained what I saw and how my statement makes sense I told him that, beside the feeling of how or why do I even see that place as that. Because even I myself don't know why, it left me aghast after seeing it first hand but also curious.

...

After entering inside the mist once again a strong sense of gore, the black red soil the crimson sky and the seemingly small sun but seemingly illuminating this place. Endless gore and blood at the ground. Seemingly no life at the west still there lying the humongous 8 Piece of circular monolith with mysterious symbols.

Looking forward only a stretch of bone and rotting flesh but without flies left the flesh rotting here. Seemingly hell without fire.

I look towards the monolith and as Mingyun look towards that direction too.

"What do you see at this location? Where I'm looking." I asked curious about what he sees.

"I'm seeing 8 majestic mountain so tall I can't see the end seemingly blotting the sky. What can you see young master?" He asked back after answering, because now he knew that they see from two different perspective.

"8 Ancient monolith so tall and big that I can't also see the end of it. With mysterious symbol on it. Let's go lead me to the cave that you're referring there must be something special there for the Liuoybruch to gather there."

...

At the outside of an endless stretch of black reddish soil after an indefinite amount of walking, I'm seeing a towered wall so tall that probably around 100 meters high.

And at the middle of it was a massive gate that leads to whatever inside there. And at the bottom of the gate made with unknown smooth metal, but by the looks of it it's old.

And the wall also made by some smooth stone almost like a jade or comparable to a tile, but clearly the smooth tile lost it's luster like a once in a brilliant clothes that became worn down due to the passage of time.

"Is this the cave whole you're saying? What are you seeing right now?" Looking towards Mingyun.

"Right now I'm seeing majestic mountain with but the length of it is as far as my eye can see. And the place itself covered with clouds and rainbow here at the foothill is what the cave I told you where those things came from."

"I see what I'm seeing is a wall of a 100 meters high, and the cave that you're saying is a small hole of that locked massive gate."

"This is more dangerous than I anticipated, let me recover first we don't know what we're facing there." I said to him and laying down focusing on recovery.

"You should go do some exercise and familiarize yourself do some basic to complicated movements, there's a situation that I'll be needing your help, or you'll gonna be needing to protect yourself if ever I got occupied."

He nodded at the notion of my idea of course it's undeniable truth that it may be the den of Liuoybruch, or maybe more sinister is inside who know.

'So far vitality also connects to stamina, but at the moment I don't know where to put this stats. My skill are all overall boost skill, but it definitely need perception and int. I might as well save my points, I don't know what skill will I acquire.'

'That leaves me thinking if god gives abilities and spells like he said, why do I have this skills? Is it related to the heirloom that left behind by my parents? And if the vision I got from before that this tower of demise, isn't a tower of demise before. What just happened and why am I separated from them.'

Now given a pleasant time to contemplate there's so much questions left unanswered, but what can I do? Nothing. I just need to keep moving forward I'll find enough answer soon.

While contemplating my consciousness grew heavier and heavier which made me drowsy.

'I'll just doze off I'm feeling super tired...' Consciousness falling to the abyss there I saw an endless void. A familiar place this place where all the mystery and questions about me began.

The empty vast void at the and the strange looking

[The Void Corridor] Yes. This is the void corridor where I first got the Scythe.

The endless stretch of void with only the podium, where my heirloom fits. And the everlasting pit of darkness on my feet that hides a veil of mystery.

An once again an Archaic voice with an indescribable power and apathetic genderless voice rang out in my head.

[Welcome once again challenger]
