Chapter 36: Encounter with the Prodigy

"But that's not all."

"What is it?"

"I think they are going to summon a Lord-class Demon."

"That's Troublesome."

"Yes, so right now I am going to charge them directly to finish some loose ends."

"Wait now?"

"Yes, so before they do anything more, I want you to-."

Before he could even say a thing, a sudden commotion happened, at Chris's side

"What the heck?"

"What happened?"

"I think what you said just now, Happened."

"They are already on the move? Right now, they are targeting the examinee"

"It seems like they were waiting for this."

"We can't waste any more time for now go stabilize the situation and call for backup to here."

He then showed a certain location to Chris.

"Okay. I'm on it I will lead the group."

"You don't need to. I need you to stay there. And I am only asking for a group for transportation and arrest. So can you, do it?"

"You really worry about your student huh? But okay I need to go now."

"Good thank you."

------At A Certain Canyon---------

Klein turned off his device as he looked at the place he was going to infiltrate.

"Damn, they really did give a grand welcome for my arrival huh. Let's see."

Klein gave a sincere admiration seeing as he was greeted by the enemy with an army of their own.

"Ten high-rank demon soldier class and hundreds of mid-class demon warriors, You guys really splurge here, didn't you? "

"Tch, to think only one person came to take the bait what a waste. Kill him and wait for the leader's instructions."

"Yes, boss."

"Oh, they are going at it huh? I guess I should also give them my own version of giving thanks in this grand welcome."

Swinging his scythe Klein created a strong mana blade blasting the enemies trying to attack him.

What followed were screams and shouts from the enemies as they received his attack.

"Don't let up activate the rune formations. And those with skill debuffs restrain him."

With the enemy commander's command, the troops did as they were told. They activated symbols covering the whole area.

Mages of different classes activated spells to attack Klein. Following with the skills of certain groups limiting Klein's power and abilities.

"Kugh. Damn to think they would prepare this much during my arrival I guess I need something in return."

Then what followed was a blinding light gathered from his scythe. And at its awake, the enemies were all backed to the corner bleeding profusely, and was only the thin bits of their consciousness that waking them up.

"Ugh, Haa. Aha..ahahahahaha!"

The Commander then laughed; he laughed so hard till he vomited blood out of his mouth.

"Ahahaha- Bleugh! Kohoh- kohoh. Aahhh so that's why you came alone, to think the heretics' way of achieving power is on the rise-Heuck!"

"You talk too much."

Not wanting to hear more of his enemy's words Klein finished him off as life faded in the enemy's eyes.

"Now then let's see what's inside."

After defeating the guards outside he walked inside the building arriving at the basement.

Arriving there a strong smell of blood invaded his nostrils. Making his face crunch up, knowing what the smell is from.

"To think that these madmen would do something so degrading."

"Ehe..eheheheh. Your too late, the Ritual is finished and This would be your doom."

A man who seemed to be the mastermind stood looking in Klein's direction as he made a mad laugh declaring their victory.

"Are you the one who summoned me?"

"Yes, it is me who has released you to this world. Now come and wreak havoc and help us restore the world to the glory it should have been."

"I see, I am grateful, human."

The demon said as he reached out his arm grabbing the man and devouring it live to his jaws.

"Wait no, no, this isn't what should happen what's going on? Stop it! aaahHHHHH!"

With a crunching sound the summoned demon ate the man alive.

"What a treat. I wonder what else is in store in this world. Human you seem to be strong be my servant and I will spare yo-"

As the demon stood there haughtily Klein dashed fast passing by before the demon could even react Slicing him into two.

"I guess that's it huh? I was too slow if I had been faster, I could have interrogated the guy. Too bad."

Heaving a sigh, he started to look inside the basement looking for relatively useful items in the place, and not long after he finished looking around and was ready to leave. Until he stops in his tracks.

"I guess demons are tenacious as they say."

He said as he swung his blade in a certain direction.

"Gahah! You bastard! To think you are able to damage me to this state. I was just summoned here to die!"

Even as he exclaimed his grievance he attacked back not wanting to give up.

"You are very tenacious but you wouldn't last long."

Klein said as his blade shined with the same light as earlier.

"So, you can use that already too bad so can I."

The demon said as his blade also shined bright. But this time the shade of color was different it was more sinister and darker.

"Oh? I guess this would be a good fight. Let's see if you can last long."

"Tch, what an arrogant punk Let me show you what true power is!"

After saying their piece, the two started to attack each other, with each blow devastating the land they were on.

--------Minutes before the activation of the Dark Veil----------

Hunting throughout the jungle Jayven arrived at a ruin and there he faced with a Giant Cobra close to rank C.

"Let's see how well I will do against a D+ Monster."

Moving by dashing and sliding through the trees and pavements of the ruins Javyen was able to use his footwork to get close to the Giant Cobra.

Following it is him using his mountain Tiger Claw to Create scratches all throughout its Body.

"As expected, using the second stance I can gauge through its flesh. But it is only superficial though, so the only thing I could do is slowly drown it in the damages."

Blow by blow he accumulates wounds on the snake. But that didn't deter the Giant Cobra's resilience it attacked even more and made along with it his occasional hit that Jayven received.

"Damn, this snake is getting angsty. Good thing that my body can take hits. If not I might have to force myself out of my restrained state."

The exchange continued between the two and this caused damages throughout the place. Prompting Jayven to think something fast. But this made him lose his focus.

With the continuous attack and damage accumulated Jayven was getting closer and closer to victory and following that had a great impact on its head.

"Nice!" Jayven exclaimed and this startled the giant cobra making it jerk.

Then with a sudden impact, He was hit by the snake's tail making him lose balance.

"Ugh…Aw."

Seeing him down the snake that got out of its stupor bit down on Jayven. Making him yell in pain

"Ahhhhh!!!"

A few seconds later he stopped yelling and because of the attack from the giant snake Jayven broke the effects of his skill which helped him gain another point.

But Jayven wasn't happy in the slightest so He grits his teeth and forcefully ripped the Jaw of the snake and tossed it far from him.

"Shit! Where is it? Damn, I need the antidote."

Moving in a hurry he looked for a certain vial in his pack that was given to them. And there he found it.

He then took the potion and safely he was healed from the poison.

But that wasn't all he looked at his status waited for the poison to heal and later he chugged a healing potion. Moments later his wounds healed and no trace of injuries were found.

"Phew, I didn't think I would heal this fast it might be because of this potion or it is because of my healing trait. Either way, I need to take my spoils."

Jayven then stood up and headed to the Giant Cobra's corpse and dismantled it in a fast motion moments later it was done and they were then neatly packed in his bag.

"This is really annoying we can't bring our own stuff only what they provided I only got a few special materials. But this giant cobra is rare because of its hide so this is my biggest luggage."

Although he was complaining he is still happy about what he had done.

"Good thing my attacks were precise I only damaged a small part of the skin so even if I didn't collect the whole body, I still got a huge chunk from it. Not then for the next one."

"So, it's here? I was wondering what the noise was so a battle between insects."

Jayven then stood frozen solid. And for a good reason at that because behind him was a genius that all feared.

"Clayton Meirs."
