An Arcane does not lower his head

How can beings of this level appear so fast? Adriel thought, according to his initial guesses, it would take at least two more weeks before beings of rank 2 would start to appear, and those would be the geniuses with a very fast adaptation speed faster than the rest, it would take weeks for normal begins to achieve an essence change, let alone reach rank 2, don't even mention rank 3.

"Oh well, let's find out," he thought as a smile formed on his lips, he quickly indicated to the driver that he would stop and get out of the car.

Seeing the first vehicle stop to his dismay, the rest of the vehicles also stopped quite abruptly.

Franky got out of his truck puzzled and went to Adriel, seeing his boss looking solemnly ahead, he asked, in the most polite tone he could muster "Why are we stopping, boss?".

"There's a horde of zombies out front, with various ranks two and a rank 3," Adriel replied casually, as if he didn't care about the hundreds of hungry undead he was about to face.

"..... Should we retreat?" He asked after a few seconds of silence, the memory of the ancient zombie horde was still present in his mind, he didn't want to relive his trauma so soon.

Adriel looked at the young redhead, whose hair looked like dancing flames, "Why should we retreat, do you think I can't defeat rank 3 zombies, or do you think you can't defeat simple zombies, do you think your flames won't be able to kill them! ?!

"Or are you scared ?!"

Adriel's penetrating gaze froze Franky in place, Adriel had just hit him, the zombie horde he faced before joining Adriel had left him with a deep aftermath and trauma, in addition to mild post-traumatic stress, in at the moment I heard that they were going to face a horde, the suppressed memory exploded, and I instinctively panicked.

He didn't dare look Adriel in the face, so he wanted to lower his head.

But when he was going to lower his head, a hand grabbed him and dragged him forward by force, he saw Adriel's deep blue eyes that were staring at him with rage.

"Listen well to what I'm going to tell you, because I'm not going to repeat it again," he said in the most serious and solemn voice that Franky had ever heard him say, "In the first place, fear is not bad, it is what keeps us alive, and our most basic instinct, but never let your fear dominate you, or I guarantee that you will die, your fear is part of you, it belongs to you, dominate it and use it for your benefit, if you cannot do it, you will not exceed your limits! "

"Second, never, and I mean never, never lower your head", At this point, his voice had almost turned into a roar, which all members of the expedition they could hear, "I'm not going to let any of you do it, what I want are warriors who can take on the whole world by my side, not a bunch of cowards!", her scream hit Franky's heart as if it had been crushed by an entire mountain, "An Arcane does not lower his head, nor does he kneel, engrave those words in your brain and remember them, I hope you do not make the same mistake again!" and I walk to the front.

Franky looked at the imposing back of his boss for a while with a dazed look, a few seconds of silence passed before his eyes filled with flames ardently, his hair began to glow with signs of flames and even his skin began to turn from a little more coppery tone, at the same time that he became a few inches taller as well as more handsome, his aura and his essence increasing at great speeds by the moment.

At this time, his talent was upgraded to grade A!

His requirement to actualize his talent was to undergo mental enlightenment, as he didn't know what it meant, he just put it aside for the moment.

But now, he was actually going through one!

Adriel's words brought him back to reality!

Why should he be afraid of zombies with the power he has now, he just has to burn, burn, and keep burning until there is nothing left ?!

Adriel also noticed Franky's change, he turned to the villagers who were gawking and envious as they imagined his own promotion.

Adriel snapped them out of his fantasy when he yelled.

"What are you waiting for to move, whoever kills the fewest zombies will not have dinner tonight!"
