Chapter 5

What?

Time stopped again.

A new window appeared in front of Kenny, bringing him a new message.

Kenny: "Close it now, it's not your time."

He thought of nothing but the fight.

He just wanted to fight.

He just wanted to laugh, to have fun.

He wanted to cut, to slice.

He wanted to jump and sink his dagger into anything living.

Right now, he was nothing but a killing machine.

He had ascended.

He had left the circle of weakness and entered the circle of strength.

Now, he feared nothing.

Ding!

Second Mission: Kill the Boss.

Kenny: "Did the system stop everything just for something I'll do anyway?"

Time resumed its flow again.

Kenny cut through the tornadoes, unharmed, not even a scratch.

Kenny screamed loudly: "Did you say you wanted to see my true power? Well, what's the big deal?"

Kenny dashed forward at lightning speed.

He held his dagger tightly in his hand, his face full of laughter and madness.

But Morjola stood perfectly still.

Kenny was surprised by Morjola's calm reaction.

Is he trying to trap me?

Maybe.

Kenny reached Morjola and was now right in front of him.

Morjola held his scythe, unmoving, his eyes locked on Kenny.

Kenny aimed his dagger at Morjola's face, but Morjola vanished from his sight.

Kenny: "Damn, he's behind me!"

Kenny quickly turned around, directing his blade toward where he thought Morjola was.

But: "Damn! He's not behind me, he's above me!"

Kenny saw Morjola descending from above, his scythe aimed directly at Kenny.

Kenny: "Hrrrgh, you're fast!"

In a split second, Kenny blocked the scythe with his dagger.

Morjola, calmly: "Didn't I tell you that killing my useless subordinates was no achievement?"

"I have a question for you."

Kenny: "Didn't I tell you we wouldn't be friends?"

Morjola: "No, it's not about friendship. Your enthusiasm caught my attention. Why are you so thirsty for battle?"

Kenny: "What? Thirsty? Am I excited? Why am I excited? I've entered many dungeons before. I wasn't interested in anything but the money and treasures inside. So why am I so eager to tear everyone here apart?"

Kenny smiled: "I don't have an answer to your question. But all I can say is... you're my enemy."

Kenny jumped high into the air, aiming to strike Morjola.

But Morjola conjured another tornado with his scythe.

Kenny was thrown into the air, flying away.

Kenny: "His ability is annoying, I'll admit that. But..."

"I need to find a gap. I can't just rush in like an idiot."

While Kenny was thinking, Morjola sprinted at full speed.

He jumped toward Kenny, then swung his hands in an attack.

Kenny dodged it at the last moment and countered with a strike from his dagger.

He landed a small cut on Morjola's hand, causing blood to spill.

Morjola: "Good... not bad, kid."

Kenny laughed again, then dashed forward with incredible speed toward Morjola.

But Morjola was faster and swung his scythe at Kenny.

The strike was quicker than Kenny, but he dodged it just in time.

Kenny: "What insane speed!"

Kenny then countered with another strike, but this time he aimed for Morjola's scythe.

With one swift strike, Kenny broke Morjola's scythe.

Morjola, stunned: "What?"

Kenny smiled: "Now you can't use your tornadoes. Heh."
