The First Awakening

BOOM!!

The whole cave shaked again with the explosion.

[Dishyaman = D]

D- Hahahahaha This is what you get for offending me.

Sumeno was vomiting blood and was gravely injured. He could not even move but it didn't mean that he could not fight. He did not activated his [Martial Master Conciousness] but rather used his own conciousness. He tried to control the mana in the surroundings but he failed one time...

second time.....

third time.....

fourth time.....

fifth....

tenth.....

fifteenth....

Finally at his 26th attempt, he succeeded in controlling the mana. He used the mana to lift himself up.

D- Y-Y-You survived the attack.

S- I.....I-I'll ...... Kill you!

D- Hahahaha you think you can defeat me just because you survived my attack one time? If one time is not enough then I'll use it 2 times. He then used the same skill again.

BOOM!!

But the result was not the same. The ball Dishyaman made collided with the ball Sumeno made out of mana in the surroundings.

D- Impossible.

Dishyaman was shocked to see that the ball Sumeno made was powerful enough to rival his [Chaos Ball (Minor)].

Dishyaman used the skill again but this was the last time he could use this skill before he ran out of mana. And...

BOOM!!

the balls again collided and vanished.

S- Now...DIE!!!

Sumeno made the ball again and directed it towards Dishyaman.

D- NOOOOOoooooo!!!!......

And finally Dishyaman died. And a screen appeared in mid-air.

[CONGRAGULATIONS!]

[You have cleared condition for you first awakening]

[Awakening(1) will now commence]

Then suddenly a bright light engulfed Sumeno. Sumeno started to float in the air. A large white ball as if sent from the Heavens themselves got near Sumeno's body and once it was close enough it got absorbed into his body. When his body completely absorbed it, Sumeno's body started shining brightly.

[Awakening(1) has commenced successfully]

[You have received the a fraction of the 'Essence of Martial Arts']

[Your Martial Arts Master(Advanced) has been promoted to Martial Arts Grandmaster(Intermediate)]

[Essence of Martial Arts is like a journey, a journey of continuous self-improvement mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. But It's True Essence is now lost in the River of Time and only you can retrieve the True Essence of Martial Arts and unite the Universe with the True Essence of Martial Arts]

[You have received two new skills on your promotion]

[You have received 'Martial Authority']

[You have received 'Half-self']

But Sumeno was not able to see the notifications as he was unconcious after he absorbed that glowing light.

Time slowly passed by.

In the blink of an eye 3 days had passed.

Sumeno suddenly opened his eyes.

S- Where am I?

He checked his surroundings and found that he was in a cave. And then, a figure came inside the room Sumeno was in. This figure was none other than the Skeleton who had promised to serve him if he defeated that monster.

Sk- LORD?!!!

S- Looks like you upheld your loyalty.

The Skeleton then bowed. His expression was that of excitement and Gratitude. How could someone not be exited when their savior finally awakes. That too when he had risked his life to save you.

Sk- You are finally awake!

S- Yes. By the way, Where are we?

Sk- Oh. We are currently in my cave in which me and my subordinates live.

S- Your subordinates?

Sk- Yes. I am an Undead elite. So, I have 5 normal undead under my command. But now they are obviously yours to command, My lord.

S- Oh. I didn't expect you to be an elite.

Sk- I am too weak for me to be significant in front of you.

S- Just let it go. Let's take a round outside, shall we?

Sk- As you wish, my lord.
