Fight and change in situation

Facing such a monstrous creature that was beyond his cognition, Dawn's heart remained calm without any ripple, resembling the surface of an ancient well.

The Nether Wraith looked at the tiny human soul in front of it and frowned; it was its first time seeing such a small human. Suddenly, it seemed to have thought of something, and a cold glint flashed in its eyes.

'His majesty would definitely not like it if I presented such an unassuming human soul... might even kill me in anger...'

Although Dawn didn't know what was going inside the monster's head, he could somewhat guess what it was thinking by looking at the strange look in its eyes.

"Hehe.... Very well little human, I shall be magnanimous for once..."

Before the Nether Wraith could continue, Dawn suddenly looked in its direction and calmly muttered in his heart.

'Nine Abyss Laser Eyes.'

The Nether Wraith also realized something was wrong and immediately lunged towards Dawn while letting out a blood-curdling screech that shook the souls of everyone who heard it.

Dawn's eyes turned crimson red, a searing heat lit up behind his eyes, and instinctively, he blinked hard. A sudden burst of light erupted from his gaze, shooting straight at the creature. The monster recoiled, its smoky form dissipating slightly.

"So, that's how it works," Dawn muttered, his confidence growing.

"W-what is this attack?" the Nether Wraith roared in horror.

A single attack from this tiny human seemed to have directly burned its soul to a crisp.

No! Something was wrong; it had to escape before it was too late. This tiny human was too strange!

The Nether Wraith immediately decided to flee after realizing the severity of the situation.

Its smoky form immediately turned into a cloud of smoke and started to rush upwards.

Dawn was momentarily stunned by the Nether Wraith's decisive action; he wasn't expecting to see the signature escape technique of these creatures so fast.

"Not so fast..."

While thinking, he once again recited the name of his skill silently in his heart, and immediately his eyes once again glowed fiery red like the deepest color of blood.

The scene even looked slightly demonic. In their scattered form, the Nether Wraiths were highly invulnerable; most physical attacks had no effect on them, but Dawn's Nine Abyss Laser Eyes was no simple physical attack.

The Nether Wraith had barely managed to escape by a few meters when it suddenly felt a terrifying feeling behind it.

"No, no, no... how is this possible? A puny human can't kil—"

It didn't have the luxury to finish its words when it was swallowed by the red pulsating light which seemed to have directly come from the deepest part of hell, burning its soul directly to a crisp.

Dawn wasn't able to watch his handiwork as immediately after he launched his second attack, a deep sense of weakness filled his body, making him feel as if he was going to faint any moment.

Huff! Huff!

His chest rose up and down heavily as if he had just finished running a marathon; sweat started to appear on his forehead.

Although the attack was extremely strong, it seemed to have consumed all of his strength.

Thinking up to this point, his heart sank—what if the earlier commotion had attracted other Nether Wraiths!

Just as Dawn's thoughts were about to go down a rabbit hole, his eyes landed on the rows of windows that had popped up when the Nether Wraith was burned to a crisp.

"Can't get distracted now..."

Dawn ignored the urge to look at the windows for now and gritted his teeth to ignore the tiredness filling his body.

"Staying in the open is just suicidal; first I need to take cover."

While thinking, Dawn started to crawl toward the nearest soul nourishing pods to hide.

Compared to his body, the pods were enormous; if he hid behind one, it would be difficult for others to notice him.

Once he managed to hide, Dawn sighed with relief.

He could have also left the Eternal Battlefield and returned to the real world, but that would be against his original objectives.

After his heart calmed down, Dawn sighed and looked at the blue windows.

[Ding! New class achievement unlocked]

[Grade - Legendary, flirting with the daughter of Satan]

[Defeating an opponent ten times stronger than yourself while still not being able to walk on your own two legs. Young hero, your balls are the reason gravity exists.]

Dawn was left speechless by the new achievement, especially the description—was the Absolute Order praising or mocking him?

"A new skill as well."

He ignored everything and focused on one window. His first skill allowed him to destroy an opponent ten times stronger than himself; just how powerful would he be after his second skill?

[Your efforts have been rewarded, young hero, and a new skill has been unlocked.]

[Suit of Righteousness and Eternal Valor Level - 1]

[Skill description - What is a superhero without a suit? Forged from the heart of the Nascent universe, this suit grows along with you.]

[Effect 1 - Protects your identity from being spied upon by anyone.

Effect 2 - Absolute defense from anyone one level higher than you; no attack of Silver Grade Warrior can harm you.

Effect 3 - Flying.]

After reading the description, Dawn's jaw dropped in shock, and immediately his eyes shone with intense light.

"This is it..."

With this skill, he now had fewer things to worry about.

After some time, his emotions calmed down, allowing Dawn to think about important things.

Questions arose about how these skills were unlocked, what he needed to achieve, and most importantly, how he could level them up.

After thinking for a moment, Dawn sighed and shook his head to get rid of unnecessary thoughts.

Such questions couldn't be easily answered.

Now that his thoughts were clear, he glanced at the remaining windows.

[Brave warrior, congratulations on killing your first Abyssal creature.]

[Your path has just begun; following your actions, your fate has started to take shape.]

Dawn ignored the rest of the notifications as these seemed to be filled with useless information and scanned the ground, trying to find something.
