In this world there is one thing that matters more than all others and that is to worship the emperor the blessings of the Earth all themselves to the Praises of the heavens of his common sense that everyone should worship joining the blessing to the Praises there were people who fought for this cause one of these men holding his axe shouts to worship the emperor while participating in a deadly fight however his axe breaks And inevitably he suffers the damage of a fatal attack that shatters him completely the ones responsible for this were other Knights those
from the handpicked Group by the emperor to cut the explanation short this task force is called special forces and focuses on only one reason for its existence for the important task of protecting the powerful Emperor Leon Catalin these forces were created however amidst bodies war and Flames a man claims that This is nonsense in front of the Kingdom the same man states that he will kill the emperor and his identity is revealed as the commander of the Special Forces Yan faced with the Commander's plan some soldiers try to intervene starting to crawl on the ground
like real zombies they rise saying words like kill and worship in this case Yan becomes enraged realizing that the soldiers cannot be free even after becoming corpses then the bodies of the Warriors begin to Merge forming something larger like a Megazord and the man is determined to free them from this suffering with the transformation complete the corpse only continues to say simple manipulated words and as his Instinct commanded at that moment attacking the traitor was the only option but the commander was no unskilled fool in contrast to the battle the kingdom was inflames completely and
in one of the rooms a fairy is frightened and questioned about the Disturbance outside in response Emperor Leon consoles the fery telling her not to worry about Such trivial matters and finally in front of his former comrade the emperor claims not to understand the reason for all this it is said that the commander was the most interesting among all but now he has revolted unlike the man he was in the past Yan is now determined to kill the emperor at any cost Liam for his part questions how long it has been since the warrior Became
a commander saying he remembers the day he recruited him a special forces's Training hall which was called the pit of solitude who was a rare slave Soldier like him Rose to the position of Commander Yan achieved everything with his own hands in this case the emperor asks if he is dissatisfied with something in response the man only murmurs what was said in his mind while removing a blade that was piercing him with the blade in his hands the Commander sticks it in his ear removing a bug that had been placed in his head by Lon
thus he demonstrates the hypocrisy of the Emperor who kept them as slaves extremely Furious Yen claims to have lost everything because he doesn't even have any memories at this moment he no longer knew who his family was who he was or anything about his life thus the emperor bites the fairy's head in a chaotic scene tearing it off and after that he transforms her into a Weapon that ends up piercing the Commander's chest yam is not expecting this thus realizing the mistake he made in letting a variable slip then the emperor claims not to know
how the commander noticed the bug saying it is a shame for him for Yam was definitely his favorite toy with this defeat began to cross the Commander's mind realizing that in the end it was all in vain however suddenly a voice starts calling him to wake up so he actually wakes up Not understanding what is happening Yan saw his death before his eyes clearly but apparently he was in a familiar place now upon closer analysis the commander recognizes the great pillar in front of him recalling it as the great stone sword from his Past Times
the great stone sword is the symbol of the special forces training Hall with countless soldiers having died in front of the symbol faced with this Yan questions why his body had become Smaller and why he was wearing the clothes from when he was just a recruit not understanding as he verbalizes about this someone tells him to shut up while appearing behind him his man delivers powerful bloy Yan who barely manages to defend himself in this case the man warns the boy not to get distracted like this and claims that he is nothing to be underestimated
in this way this is Roman the 12 recruit of the special forces and in this case Yan finally manages to Recall what's happening with the boy lying next to a stone Roman analyzes the situation stating that he is just a common person so Yan asks if they are in the middle of training and the boy explains that the training is just an excuse because he was planning to beat him up completely after all according to him no one cares if a low-level recruit dies in light of this the commander thinks it is impossible what is
happening but when analyzing all the Questions together it becomes quite convincing in this case upon understanding that he has gone back to the past the boy is filled with matelli and happiness at this moment Yan does not care about the reason he has returned what matters is that he can start all over again ensuring that this current self does not make the same mistakes as before and this time making sure to decapitate the emperor before anything else the boy warns that you Will inform his colleague of something important saying he will not have a girlfriend
even at 40 faced with this Roman gets Furious and charges at the commander saying that he is talking nonsense however Yan easily Dodges in comments that is pathetic to have been hit by such a slow punch which makes the man even more irritated in this case Roman activates his secret techniques like deep chaos of the seventh form and Fists of Fury which in a way impresses His opponent however the hero claims he will give a tip regarding his KAG strikes touching the tip of his fingers the man's arm he informs that after closing the distance
with the opponent the attack should be done this way thus Yan uses Roman's Fist of Fury technique in the style of a halfin punch but with much greater force than the original in this case the boy dispares questioning how Yan can use an intermediate level skill and just as he was about to finish Something it stops him a pendant flies from his clothing making the hero confused as he doesn't remember having something like that thus having something better to do now he decides to end it for today with Roman and comments that he is a
lucky man upon further examination of the pendant Yen realizes there is something inside so the ex-commander opens the object's lid finding an old photo a photo of a man a woman and a younger version of himself Making it the first time Yan saw these faces however in his heart they were already marked as his family making him cry with emotion memories love and family are the words the hero forgot around 30 years ago and that are now returning to his mind what Yan could not obtain even after burning the imperial capital along with what he
could not find even after massacring the knights all of this was being held in his hands at that exact moment making him realize That that he almost made the same mistake of his previous life with his sanity returning the ex-commander no longer wants to waste his life on something as pathetic as a simple Revenge thus Yan's objective changes to escaping this place and getting back the life with his family that he lost chapter 2 a special force is reporting directly to the emperor are known as the special task force receiving missions such as the fall
of Verna Fortress and The assassination of the Grand Duke of the north are missions carried out by this Squadron which has been responsible for completing such tasks since the beginning of the empire history along with the one who stood at the top of these forces the group developed the commander of the task force Yan is known as the emperor's right hand and the strongness of the knights however that body with immense power and strength was no longer Yan's reality receiving a job To clean the squadron's bathrooms the hero realizes he has fallen into a deplorable
state after regressing in front of the stone sword trainings rolled on normally among the Imperial Guard members there are about a thousand Soldier apprentices in the special task force and there is where everyone becomes stronger by killing each other to survive approximately three or four people die per day and these empty spots are filled either by kidnapping people Or recruiting volunteers the training location is the Dragon's Cave to the northwest of the ranges mountains and this place is set to be a labyrinth Soldier apprentices always receive a number to identify them the numbers are assigned
based on the soldier apprentices skills and they can rise in rank through tests and competitions additionally there is a pyramid system where the treatment receive changes depending on how high their number is And this is used to keep the apprentices under control under such a system it is difficult for Soldier apprentices with a ranking below 900 to survive as they can be easily replaced after their death normally they are only used as labor or to help other people train which is currently the case for the protagonist in fact he is lucky to be used as
labor at the moment suddenly someone bumps into him causing the boxes he was carrying to fall to the ground at that Moment Yen asked if this person didn't have eyes to see where they were going however in pyramid like this there was a soldier Apprentice who stayed at the top among everyone the one who bumped into the hero was one of these high-ranking Soldier apprentices and a successor of the Empire's Nobles in the name of their loyalty to the Empire to continue their family line and to keep the other families under control these are the
reasons why the Nobles would join the Special task force and while they were there the center would make their lives more comfortable moreover unlike the others parasites are not implanted in them since they are already prisoners through the privilege of nobility it is said that high-ranking Soldier apprentices by maintaining their positions receive numerous privileges and benefits and among these Soldier apprentices Lorina Beowolf kruel Dwight and cashia ever are always in the top Three in this case the high-ranking boy questioned his colleague about why she apologized to such trash after the hero realizes that this will
be a problem cruel continues saying that they do not have the same status and that a commoner should never dare to address them that said the noble observes that the protagonist Apprentice number is 974 the lowest of all and in this case he mocks the situation making the hero Harbor a strong rage however knowing his place in The hierarchy Yan lowers his head stating that he should have paid more attention to who he was talking to and apologizes nonetheless he still receives a cut on his cheek from kruell who explains that apologies are things common
humans do and this according to him is not the hero's case who should beg and kneel for Mercy faced with all that disrespect the protagonist holds himself back a lot not to lose control and the boy continues with the Provocations kruel comments that the boy seems so surprised that he can't even speak and meanwhile Lorina hurried to pick up the drop box to end the conflict in the end kruel leaves advising that the hero should start being more careful and the girl in turn a apologizes for the inconvenience that said Yen thinks it's good that
they stay satisfied with their rankings as they have been because the more they do the more Advantage he has back to work the hero continues to Carry those boxes around the entire Castle however along the way something catches his attention making him stop for a moment a few steps ahead of him a strong killing intent is felt as if someone were waiting to Ambush the hero from the boy's point of view this might be something premeditated by Roman but the killing intent doesn't seem the same in this case the protagonist decides to faint ignorance and
approach as usual as he passes by the location trying to seem Like a normal person someone reveals themselves saying they have been waiting for the boy this person is Lorina be wolf who greets Soldier Apprentice 974 in the history of the Imperial Knights one of the top criminals they failed to capture was the blue Iron arm Galder he committed his first murder at 11 years old and formed group of Thieves at 20 attacking 23 Villages and 17 guilds it said that those arms can block even or chulam and they represent a symbol of Fear however
one day Lorina be wolf tore off one of this monster's arms and dragged him across the ground as if it were nothing the phrase she uttered about capturing Galder amidst that scene was enough to make her part of the Imperial Knights Marina belongs to the be family one of the four major noble families that command the Northwestern Snowy Mountains the family's Knights say she has the potential to become the continent's strongest swordsman since Childhood she was called the Young holy sword and she lived up to her nickname thus she's considered the most complete and Powerful
product of the beol family in this case the hero claims to be nobody commenting that the girl is probably addressing the wrong person in such a case she states that she will ask differently now and the protagonist thinks that she is the type of person he doesn't want to get involved with thus Lorina asks Soldier Apprentice number 974 about his goal questioning the reason why he is hiding his true strength and in light of this Yan understands that if she becomes an enemy he must eliminate her first trying to smooth over the situation W claims
to have no idea what she's talking about then the girl reveals that she saw Yan's training at the great sword initially she thought it was a simple duel between two low-ranking Soldier apprentices however she soon doubted her own eyes in The face of that spectacle having seen a half-inch punch that was entirely out of the league compared to the rest Lorina questioned why an apprentice would know such a skill in this situation the hero realizes he made a mistake but continues to deny all the girl's claims then the girl apparently accepts the possibility of probably
being mistaken which makes the protagonist somewhat suspicious thus the two prepare for a handshake of reconciliation however when Yan extended His hand the girl redirected Ed the movement into an attack in light of this the hero understands it to be a half inch punch used to test him however an emotional attack like this is not something he can avoid given the situation so to avoid raising more suspicions he accepts the blow graciously taking a powerful punch to the face and so he fell to the ground croning in pain questioning what he had done wrong the
girl in turn expected the Boy to block her attack however he reiterated that he was not the person Lorina was looking for realizing her mistake she apologizes and the hero believes the best thing to do is act like a commoner who was unjustly beaten by a noble making her feel guilty because with her personality she probably won't suspect anything to make up for her mistake Lorina offers to help the boy with the boxes helping to carry them to the final imposed destination Along the way the girl asks the protagonist to speak informally with her since
they are both Soldier apprentices which Yan finds strange then the girl explains that she does not find it honorable for a high-ranking soldier Apprentice to treat low-level soldiers like slaves and she states that when she becomes the Lord of a territory she intends to protect the rights of the slaves there all this talk makes the hero uncomfortable but finally they Reach the Final Destination and Yan ends up thanking her however before leaving the girl comments that she hopes she's wrong about something which puts the protagonist on alert again turning around Lorina questions whether the boy
saw her attack because at that moment his eyes were following her hand thus with a serious and intimidating expression she hopes she was wrong about that too then she finally leaves but not before warning that she will see Soldier 974 again yen in turn admires the girl's cleverness understanding that there will be no way to get her off his back in this case the hero wonders if it would be advantageous to kill her now at this moment the protagonist could easily kill her but if he does it will make the entire Beowolf family his enemy
inevitably the boy would be a fool to decide to create a feud with the whole family just because of a personal Grudge therefore Guan First thinks he should focus on escaping and in at bathroom he affirms being sure that the place was there even though there were deserters when the boy was the Task Force Commander most of them were not able to escape the training center however one deserter managed to escape being caught only in the forest surrounding the place during the Soldier's torture Yan gently asked how he escaped and he answer because of the
gentle way he was asked the third area In the fifth cubicle there was an abandoned bathroom then beyond just a wall the protagonist finally find the place after breaking the wall of the fifth cubicle and digging deep into the wall an exit can be found after breaking that wall the exit was finally found however the hole is still small needing more digging thus the protagonist is filled with happiness and hope for being able to get out of there in his mind he already knows he will be able to escape The repugnant special task force and
regain his freedom later at mayf fall a guard passes by the cells checking the presence of all the soldiers number 971 is dead and 972 along with 973 are there however number 974 seems very quiet then the soldier questions why the soldier is not responding believing the worst had happened he approaches and the hero finally answers the roll call standing right there the guard gets irritated ordering the boy to respond faster next Time with everything in order it's time to blow out the candles and go to sleep inside the cell hean thinks he has understood
something after completing several missions the more cautiously one moves the greater the chances of success the protagonist knows he will only have one chance to put his plan into action even if he succeeds in Escaping The Pursuit Squad will be after him bringing many problems therefore if he fails his fate will be to be made an example for The remaining apprentices in this case the hero needs a wild card that can become an unexpected variable but at the moment he doesn't know if this can be done with his current body having no other choice he
begins to practice black dragon breathing a Mana circulation technique known only to the Special Forces commanders at this moment the hero only has the knowledge of the technique but his body cannot keep up needing to reduce the load on his core And create an energy one however he doesn't have time to create a Mana core solely with black dragon breathing leaving only one way focusing his concentration and adjusting his breathing the hero prepares to do the unthinkable as his only resource Yen decides to use Divine dragon breathing with the start of the technique the Mana
flow is body surprises him being definitely Beyond expectations then the man of the inap filan's entire body Making him feel as if a real dragon had entered his body Divine dragon breathing is a secret technique of the first emperor who founded this Empire while conquering countless countries with a single sword the technique was so powerful that the Emperor who was bored sought it out personally witnessing firsthand the hero understands that the technique is as powerful as its name suggests but suddenly something begins to get out of control the protagonist Mana starts to leave his core
and in light of this Yan canot let it continue if he wants to stay alive with his veins dilated exuding energy he needs to do whatever it takes to contain the advancing problem however you after much effort Yen fails thus losing all progress in this case he believes is impossible to create a Mana core with an incomplete secret technique and a body as weak as his one day the emperor taught the hero this technique but he Didn't know if the emperor was being eccentric or testing him because the sense scroll only contained instructions on how
to absorb Mana but no instructions on how to compress it although the protagonist knows where the other Scroll of the secret technique is he first needs to focus on escaping before anything else starts the next day some people comment that they heard those gathered there will be released this information quickly spread causing Many soldiers to feel hope and surprise however the hero knew that such a thing would never happen being just a ridiculous dream based on what he remembers today is the day that person will come and in this case Yen understands that he needs
to stay out of sight at all costs however to ruin his plans Roman shouts around the area asking where his comrade is forcing him to hide unexpect edly the instructor appears and the soldiers ask if the Information that they can return home is really true the instructor in turn yells for everyone to shut up calling them worms this shout Echoes throughout the place making everyone feel sick as it is an echo of AA voice something Unthinkable to use on apprentices Ora voice echo is a technique in which Mana is mixed into the voice causing some
of the weaker soldiers to succumb thus the instructor addresses everyone is trash who have no Talent OR status and the Hero is disappointed to have to encounter this lunatic again after after this the special tactical Training Center instructor Damian questions if there is any reason for the soldiers to remain alive after using the oral voice echo when the higher ranking soldiers goes around collecting the body of The Apprentice who couldn't withstand the pressure and died thus he orders everyone to resolve this immediately and asks the soldiers to act quickly because The head instructor is watching
this puts the hero on high alert as low-ranked soldier apprentices are just toys for a head instructor if the hero irritates him he might end up seeing his bad side before escaping and could even lose his life with without further Ado the instructor states it is a pleasure to meet his beloved apprentices and asserts that everyone there is trash with the worst talents in society honestly he states that if he could he Would kill them all however they are told not to worry because the Emperor who is even greater than the heavens will give the
soldiers a chance the chance to be selected to participate in a mercenary project it is said that this project is to select members to protect the emperor the dragon of the Empire and the chosen ones will have the honor of becoming dragon Warriors however the hero knows that the reality is different as they will rainwash the soldiers Through an insect inserted into their brains and the true objective of this project is to create puppets for the emperor to control to create people who can't even kill themselves without the emperor's order thus the instructor venerates the
Grandeur of his majesty and commands everyone to be grateful for his great Mercy a med Applause he Praises that their reaction is better than that of the higher ranking Soldier apprentices Yan in turn understands that He needs to be as discreet as possible however suddenly one of the soldiers raises his hand saying he has a request this is Roman who asked if being a dragon Warrior is really that good furthermore he questions if by participating in such a project you'll have the chance to smash the instructor's mocking face in response to this affront he is
struck by a light shot to his chest that pierces him what was presented now was the art of Snapping fingers witnessed firsthand on the boy's body after this instructor asks if he is okay because he thought he was very strong since he was talking nonsense with such confidence however it was clear that the man was just a simple insect and at this moment several soldiers gathered around their comrade to check the situation from a distance Yen understands that the boy will probably stop bleeding but is very dangerous to help now unexpectedly Roman Gets up after
receiving the Commander's attack questioning what he said regarding being called an insect the boy asks what the people who gather the insects would be to survive in the filthy Villages that did all kinds of work and endured all kinds of humiliation all because their lives could only continue if they did so in this case the Emperor or the dragon Warriors are not important things finally the boy states that they should Protect their so important Emperor on their own and after witnessing the speech amian believes that this insect is quite persistent the instructor compares the boy
to a cockroach and comments that he heard that cockroaches survive even when their heads are cut off thus he prepares an attack while wondering if Roman is like them the crystal mole is a wild rat found deep underground in the mountains being very notable despite its cute appearance is Naturally known for the fact that when its Crystal comes into contact with something it starts to glow and eventually explodes at this exact moment this happens with the mole ending up blocking the launch blow making Daman wonder where where it came from with the boy having fainted
again the soldiers gather to move him to another place quickly then the hero thinks it was a waste to throw away a crystal mole like that this animal was previously found in The abandoned bathroom so the boy brought it with him in case he needed it however he never imagined he would use it so soon fortunately the commander did not notice his plans because if he does everything until now will have been in vain and at this moment silence Reigns in the place making Yan's anxiety throb apparently Damen does not notice the hero's interference only
praising the boy's resilience thus he dismisses everyone and leaves Giving our hero a bit of relief finally the protagonist thinks that his comrade is an idiot for acting so unprepared later inside the castle after descending a staircase the instructor recalls the events of the entire day then in the light of everything he thinks he found a very interesting toy in area three in the abandoned bathroom our hero continues to dig that hole that will allow his future escape this is the third day he has been doing this but This time he made a mistake recruits
Soldier number 974 on his third day of reparation forgot to bring his mask digging a tunnel while maintaining stability with wooden boards and repeating this has been the routine for the last 3 days since the hero can see well in the dark by enhancing his vision with Mana he has no problems even if the tunnel is dark it is a fact that no one has passed through this place in the last 3 days because this place is an Abandoned building that does not even appear on the map given all this the protagonist believes he is
progressing faster than he thought however you get something strange with his knife generating a bright light that emits an imminent danger moments later the role call among the soldiers happens again and the next on the list is number 974 fortunately the administrator finds the soldier present but he smells something suspicious coming from him in This case he questions what The Apprentice is hiding and orders him to remove his hood then the hero reveals that he accidentally broke one of the barrels while moving causing waist to be thrown on his face upon hearing this the inspector
smells a strong stench of rot and promptly orders the soldier to leave after some efforts to maintain cleanliness the hero believes is enough to get rid of the smell and is happy that no one sus expected him moreover he Did not expect to hit the drain pipe among so many things and it was at the level of dragon waste however there is no reason to panic after all the plan is progressing without any problems during his preparation time the hero gathered a dagger a rope and other tools for his Escape additionally his body is also
prepared to a certain extent some time ago Yan really thought he would die due to the intense training he did in a short period of time but since it showed Good results it was all right leaving only one more thing to do suddenly the hero hears a conversation between two Superior they say they heard Gail had his tongue cut out for laughing in front of an instructor in this case they decide to stay hidden for a while and one of them comments that the commander will soon step down from his post which makes our hero
happy with the instructor Commander not around this is very important Information thus the protagonist cannot let such a good opportunity pass secretly again the hero heads to Area 3 in the abandoned bathroom now it is finally time to finish the Escape tunnel before returning however suddenly Yan hears footsteps coming towards him revealing the presence of someone in the place thus the hero wonders who discovered his plans considering it might be Loren's or the Commander's doing fortunately the person in the Place was Roman given this the boy asks why his comrade seems so disappointed in this
case the protagonist states that if the boy is following him he doesn't have time to deal with him which makes Roman Furious for being treated like a stalker changing the subject the hero asks if it's okay to walk around with those wounds and Roman assures him that these injuries are nothing to him however at this exact moment blood started to gush from Roman's chest like a fountain and Then the boy explained it was a pimple vesan says he's glad it's just a pimple in leaves saying he has better things to do given this the boy
smiles and comments that his comrade indeed seems very busy seeing that he is dating a dog hole through the walls of the place to prepare and Escape in such a case Roman questioned how wonderful it would be if the instructors found out and so he asked Yan if he wasn't dying to find out with his plan revealed the hero Activates his 16th form of dark chaos thus he cuts his comrade's neck with a move called Shadow hunt with his life flashing before his eyes the boy only questioned Yen's identity before dying but he kept his
expression cold and calm that is if the previous scenes were not just something the protagonist wished to do wisely he understands that the best path is not this and then the boy questions why his comrad is not saying anything Roman asks if the protagonist Is so nervous that he is mute but he understands since he would be executed for trying to escape in the boy's mind it was clear that the hero did not expect to be caught by him in this case if he has nothing to say Roman suggested that Yan beged to keep the
secret however the hero questioned why he had to do that since the boy would not say anything anyway which made him irritated and threatened to tell given this Yen reiterates that his comrade will not Tell because he hates the Special Forces more than he does as shown earlier Roman cannot hide his anger even if it might kill him having such a strong determination to return home it would be unlikely for him to tell the instructors about an escape route totally without a chance because among everyone Roman is the one who wants to escape the most
so with his speech finished Yan asks if he is wrong and in light of this the boy admits that his rival is truly Extraordinary recalling that during their fight he could vaguely feel it if a hero had wanted he could have killed him and he wouldn't be there at that moment after that the boy could easily differentiate the hero from the other rookie soldiers because the protagonist had a unique scent given this the hero confirms his expectations saying his comrade is a stalker he denies it so Yan questions why he knows about the tunnel excavation
which is answered due to the Footprints Left Behind when questioned further it is explained that the training center is mostly made of granite but he discovered strange footprints that contained lime moreover the size and width of the steps were exactly the same as the heroes in this case the protagonist asks if his comrade was able to discover to whom they belonged in his plans with just this information Roman in turn explains that he looked at the work records and Yen Praises him saying he is smarter than he appears changing the subject the boy asks about
the escape plan with the tunnel leads and the likelihood of escaping however Yan does not understand why this is being asked and explained that he cannot answer now as he needs time to think in that case Roman advises the hero to stay there since he is skilled and likely to climb to a better position in 10 years then the protagonist asks what would happen to Those the boys trying to protect at the moment they cannot even guarantee their own Survival so it is unlikely his family will be alive in 10 years ultimately our hero explains
there is no time to think so Roman needs to decide now if he will join him because they will not be there in the morning with his arms crossed the boy now understands that the hero really has a plan to escape this place which obviously he confirms and then he asks if Roman is Interested in knowing what it is the rank difference between the two is 96 two places in this case if they both escape the instructors will definitely go after Roman first it was really as Yan said they would not be there after tomorrow
because the boy would be dead given this quick reasoning the hero is again surprised by his comrade's ability which is indeed very different from expected in this case the protagonist asks not to complain because he is also Taking a big risk and finally asks what Roman will do with this after thinking a lot about it the boy understands he has no choice but to take the bait back at the training center the instructor Damen hums before starting his speech to break the ice he comments that Tate's Breeze is quite Pleasant then addressing the main topic
he explains that the reason for Gathering everyone so late at night is to make an announcement such a meeting at a time like this would Naturally cause some complaints but is asked to think positively as the instructor has good news among the soldiers gathered at the place high-ranking recruit number 32 case and number 525 Marvin stood out da have in turn remembers that if he is not mistaken the details of the test will be announced now this is confirmed by Damian who will now start informing about the date of the first test it is said
that the task is simple with the Soldiers having to go to a certain place and there they will pass if they survive for an entire week and amid the solders distress the test location is revealed to be the blade mountains which was expected by the best in the past there was an adventurer named milra he knew the existence of a medicinal tree that could cure his mother's disease and knew it grew in the place days before his Adventure the boy asked his mother not to worry because he would definitely Find the medicinal herb however he
ended up being crushed by the Hostile nature of the forest it is said that his mother waited for him until her last breath but fortunately the boy's mother did not know of her son's sad end before she died the blade mountains contain countless monsters and were known to be a forbidden area even within the Empire at the beginning of the blade mountains you can find goblins and the deeper you go the more dangerous it becomes Encountering everything from large demihumans rarely seen to giant monsters that only appear in stories these are the monsters present in
this eagil place moreover there were also monsters that the world did not yet know monsters that even the world was still trying to discover and there is one of the that lives in the deepest part of the mountains called the bat returning to the explanations the instructor asks if the boys are excited he fills with Happiness just thinking about the number of insect-like students who will die next week suddenly one of the manager soldiers informs his Superior that there is something to report it said that they received a communic so they need him at the
location and in light of this Damen quickly understands this was the chance our hero was waiting for and with the announcement coming to an end everyone was dismissed after the announcement the hero thinks the inspector seemed quite Upset but he didn't not expect it to end so abruptly it would be nearly impossible for the low-ranking recruits to survive the blade mountains and in light of this the other high-ranking recruits would be protected by the instructors suddenly someone orders people not to get in the way and to move aside because Miss Arena was passing by in
this case the mere low-ranking recruits could not dare to interfere at this moment the protagonist remembers The girl and while she passes by he hopes she will ignore him however the girl directs her gaze at Yan with an expression indicating she will be waiting eagerly in such a case the the hero wonders if he has already been discovered understanding that the situation is more complicated than he thought but yam believes there is probably no need to think about it now especially since he will soon be leaving thus the hero asks if Roman has prepared What
he requested which is confirmed by his comrade in this case the protagonist asks him to go to the great stone sword to see how big it is before that when questioned Yan explains that it is because it will be the last time the boy will see it since he already knows what the message the instructor received was the message was probably a request for him to go to the Palace to report on the situation of the first test to the emperor before it begins despite hating To see anyone at the palace he cannot go against
an imperial order with this the great unknown variable in the hero's Escape Plan is gone finally on this day at nightfall The Escape of the two boys from the training center will take place with a torch lit one of the Outsource supervisors calls for number 920 and he confirms his presence as part of the routine he notes down those who died that day and calls for the next ones finally it is time for number 974 to Confirm his presence but initially he does not respond in this case the supervisor asks the boy not to waste
his time and to respond quickly then checking his clipboard for number 974 he appears behind him ready to carry out his plan breaking the Soldier's neck the hero is now prepared to begin his escape plan from the training center along with Roman and two others at this moment it is time for the shift change and in light of this the protagonist orders his Comrades to hide the body properly so no one will notice thus Jake and Todd understand saying they will take care of it quickly after this Roman reports to Yan that he brought two
more as requested and after being questioned about their competencies the boy states that they are good the boy in turn asks if the hero is planning to use them as bait and the protagonist says he would never ask to bring them if that was his intention to prove their skills the Soldiers claim they are not dead weight and are prepared to lose their lives but the hero tells them to be quiet so he asks his comrade to take a look at what is ahead because of this door that the hero needs more people it said
that the protagonist cannot open it alone thus needing the help of others to go from the dormitories to the bathroom in the abandoned area they will need to open these doors but to do so they need to step on two pressure plates and activate The external switches that control the doors first two of them will step on the pressure plates and then the other two will go to the other side those who go will pull the switches and fix them in place then the two stayed behind will cross given this Roman addresses Jake asking if
he is ready because as soon as the signal is given it will step on the pressure plates simultaneously after confirming he is ready the signal is given and the two step on the pressure Plates thus managing to open the door that will provide access to the escape in this case the hero asks Todd to come with him and Roman asks how long they need to step on them which is answered that they must hold until the signal is given after some time silence began to rain in the place which made the boys start to suspect
the hero's actions unexpectedly the immense door suddenly starts to close sealing the Escape Route thinking he has been betrayed Roman Punches the wall while calling the hero a bastard understanding that he intended to leave him behind from the beginning the boy lemons saying he should have realized Iz from the moment Yan went in first however the protagonist's voice is heard by the boy asking if he was worried Rona then recognizes Yan's voice and slowly the door begins to open with the hero complaining that his comrade couldn't even wait covered in blood he declares that he
would never leave Anyone behind face with this Roman asks what happened inside for the hero to be covered in blood and where Todd is in response the protagonist says that both are fine having only been delayed due to an unforeseen event initially Yan believed that feeding him food Lac with a sedative would work but it didn't revealing the unforeseen event as a large Wolf Monster Yan comments that it was more uncontrollable than he thought which impressed the boy with his Comrade's strength after that the Escape proceeded as planned and using the passage dug in the
abandoned bathroom they could see the outside area of the training center at the peak of the Hill a noise suddenly begins to be heard is Our Hero's arm breaking through the ground thus finishing his Passage through the tunnel with this our hero believes they did well and Roman is still trying to get unstuck from the hole there is still no presence of other People in the area because they have probably just discovered their escape thus mobilizing the pursuit Squad Roman witnessing Freedom comments that he can't believe they escaped so quickly thinking it would take an
eternity in this case the protagonist disagrees with the boy's view saying it took a long time much longer than the hero could count considering everything he suffered in his past life finally freed one of the soldiers comments that it's been a Long time since he breathed Fresh Air with this Roman asks the leader if everything will be over once they leave this place and Yan advises everyone not to let their guard down because it is just the beginning looking at the only Keepsake he has the hero truly understands that this is the beginning of everything
now we begin the journey for Yan to regain everything he lost and never even had the chance to have chapter 10 the arrian forest is made of Sequoia trees and this great Forest is spread throughout the northern mountain region of the Empire y explains that they are in this forest and need to run for two consecutive days if they want to get out so Roman questions if it wouldn't be better for them to hide there because as the sequoia trees are tall it is a fact that they can hide among them however the hero states
that the number of monsters in the area makes it unfeasible moreover at this moment The hunting dogs are after them and it's only a matter of time before they are found if they decide to hide the pursuit Squad is said to have about 20 members which will be game over for them if they are found given this there is only one way to increase the chances of Escape which is to disperse and divide the pursuit Squad if they decide to go in different directions the men will have no choice but to split up so each
will have to deal with only five members Hearing this idea Roman gets Furious understanding that he will probably be the bait for being a higher rank ranking recruit in this case our boy stated that his comrade should have done only regular training to avoid standing out so much in the end if the four travel together they will certainly be caught necessitating this plan so at least one can escape again the order is given that they will run in four different directions and questions are opened Among all things Roman decides to question one thing he does
not understand it's a fact that everyone has a marked number or else's little figurine was the only one labeled with the word idiot thus with relevant questions the protagonist decides to move on contrary to R who still wanted an answer in the end one of the recruits decides to thank Yan saying that if it weren't for him they wouldn't have been able to leave that horrible place and Taking off his hood the boy declares that he will definitely repay him for the help and asks if they can interact in the future if they manage to
meet initially Yan thought this recruit AED Jake was just a normal Soldier but he probably also had his own reason for fleeing considering what was said the white-haired boy claims its nonsense and says he doesn't want to meet any of them again so the protagonist says that he acted very well as a captain but that His heart is cold to clear up the misunderstanding Roman explains that what he meant was that the situation in which they would meet again would be when they were all caught and in light of this explanation Yen thinks his comrade
sounds like an old man when he decides to lecture wondering if he also regressed unfortunately the protagonist states that Roman is right and that they will never meet again thus with a strong wind Yan begins to run at high speed to Escape the area thinking his comrades must already be running with all their might it's time for him to start making an effort too activating the Divine dragon breathing the art of Mobility is in Miss I Awakening the wind step's ability in this way he shoots off like a flash circling an entire tree and finally
reaching its top at the top of the tree the hero has a peripheral view of the entire Forest after reflecting a bit he understands that his body hinders Him too much making it difficult to even maintain the Divine dragon breathing although the technique itself is efficient however the hero should already be happy to compensate for this deficient body that doesn't even have Mana flowing within it despite the strengthening techniques but now the key question is how long his comrades will hold out as the protagonist doesn't even know what he was expecting from those kids Yan
is the commander of the fifth Special force a man known for being the best in tracking assassination and Espionage so for now you will see how good the special forces of his time are inside the training center the soldiers still have no news of the pursuit Squad in this case they panic because they need to capture the deserters one of them says it must be done before the crazy Commander returns and another supervisor agrees trembling with fear however Damen says that it will be Impossible because that madman is already back thus the supervisor who disrespected
the commander starts to panic the situation gradually becomes tenser with the instructor casting a bloodthirsty look however he decides to relax saying that things like this happen and the soldier in turn begs a thousand pardons saying he was imprudent in his speech but Damian Comforts him saying that people even curse the emperor in this case the instructor asks If this is the soldier managing the recruits dormitories and comments that it must be difficult to find the runaway recruits in response the soldier assures his Superior not to worry because the pursuit Squad will capture them without
problems however Daman questions the phrase without problems with a murderous expression he asserts that there's already a problem with his hands on the boy's shoulders the commander instructor presses him to the ground breaking both His legs in several places the situation becomes horrifying with blood spreading everywhere and the instructor explains that the boy didn't know about the Escape Plan he didn't even know they had dug an Escape Route or that the boys had stolen the necessary items to flee in this context the responsible Soldier begs his Superior for forgiveness asking for another chance however Damen
puts his foot on his head questioning this chance given all the facts Damen states That he will not give the boy anything in his last breath the soldier still begs for his life to be spared but the instructor comments that he knows who the soldier works for ignoring the pleas for Mercy after that Massacre Damen orders another Soldier to call back all the pursuit squads that went outside from now on he will take command to deal with this personally when questioned the instructor says it's because he found an interesting person and in this case he's
Really looking forward to it chapter 11 in the atrion forest things are currently quite chaotic team three of the Special Forces pursued Squad is searching for The Runaway recruits amid the chase their leader asked everyone to stop for a moment with this the leader was questioned about the reason for the Stop and whether their tracks had disappeared in this case the leader denies it informing them that the tracking is going smoothly however team Three leader Kelly asks her comrades if it doesn't seem abnormal that everything is progressing so well among the squad members J comments
that the target is just someone numbered 974 logically making the chase easy and Andrea believes the leader is being paranoid they tracked the footprints to the cliff and found more tracks there indicating that the fugitives are simply in a hurry to escape jar then commence again that their leader is doubting Everything and that's why he is alone in light of this Kelly gets angry and wonders if he is really exaggerating however those feelings of discomfort aren't going away and the fog started to rise so the soldiers decided they should catch the target before he hides
in the Mist Jer says it will be an easy Mission because it's number 974 on like the teen responsible for number 12 but even so Andre believes he's just another recruit at this moment jar thinks his comrade is Being too confident and asks what his number was during his recruit days however he is quickly lifted into a tree disappearing from the area now only two members of The Pursuit Squad remain and Andre is confused about the whereabouts of his friend but before he can say anything he meets the same fate as jir the only one
member of the group Kelly in turn turns his back saying that his comrades are too noisy and that the fugitives would Escape due to their Chatter however paying closer attention to the scene the leader notices that his two comrades simply disappeared without making any noise the two vanish in an instant so Kelly understands that it was his bad feeling however he still refuses to believe it because not even number 12 would be able to take down the instructors in this case it was unlikely that number 9 174 could do anything at that exact moment while
he was thinking the hero appeared behind the man to Finish him off but Kelly manages to react at the last moment he launches his spiral SL attack cutting an entire tree in half the leader then gets irritated by the Brat's arrogance questioning if he expected that attack to work a third time however a line circles the leader's neck capturing him without his notice and he is lifted off the ground realizing the wire too late Kelly starts to agonize as his neck is crushed in this case everything starts to make Sense the footprints and pieces of
clothing were not real tracks these things were actually bait set to trap them thus in his last moments the leader only questions how a mere number 974 could defeat them Kelly shouted that it was impossible for his entire team to have been eliminated while the hero managed everything from behind a tree with the remaining strength he uttered the names of Andre and jir but he met the same fate as the two with the Annihilation of Team three resulting in complete success looking at his knife the hero believes is a good weapon suitable for use as
it is discreet initially he thought it would be difficult but everything went smoothly and in the end the protagonist believes he can fight without problems if he uses body strengthening techniques however he first needs to leave the forest before the fog completely envelops it so the hero spreads the blood of the pursuit Squad throughout the area is a fact the hunting dogs will smell it and come there in this case the protagonist thinks it would be better if he could hide his scent in his hand he holds a moss plant that produces a poisonous fruit
and contains leaves and flowers with a very strong smell the hero's plan is to crush the leaves and spread them on himself as even a hunting dogs hate this stench making it eras his scent the priority now is to hurry because the Longer the protagonist stays there the harder the Escape will be and it is said that not even he could Escape if surrounded suddenly something catches the attention nearby smoke is clearly visible on the horizon climbing a tree the hero believes the pursuit Squad wouldn't do that so it might be the work of Jak
and Todd the protagonist criticizes the decision to camp in such a place because at this rate the worst will happen however he understands it's Not the time to worry about others as he brought them to use his bait in this case for Yan it's better that they draw attention this way however the hero remembers his last moments with his comrades and decides to contradict his thought heading toward them Yan thinks it's probably more advantageous for them to be alive now activating his Mobility art he believes he just needs to get rid of the tracks suddenly
shills begin to run down the hero's neck and he can feel Everything the eyes of death which he has witnessed many times on the battlefield at this moment the protagonist can sense that something is behind him watching and preparing its claws chapter 12 after feeling that murderous intent behind him the person responsible is pleased that the hero took the bait it is said that as soon as he met him he knew he was an interesting person wondering if something interesting would be shown let the Fluttering of the small butterflies Wings in the end it cause
a hurricane but one responsible for the murderous intent is Damian who is pleased to be right in his judgment the protagonist in turn wondered what brought the instructor there and the instructor himself says it's a pleasure to meet recruit 974 thus our hero understands that things from now on have become extremely complicated in the forest clouds Suddenly begin to gather and a thunderstorm configures a strong thunder clap that causes a rumble in the area in line of this the instructor comments that it seems a huge storm is approaching however the hero still hasn't confirmed what
was in front of him instructor Daman was supposed to have been dismissed and couldn't be there now it is said that before he regressed he definitely returned later than expected there were even rumors That he almost got arrested after causing trouble at the palace so the protagonist reaches a cruel conclusion The Future Has Changed at this moment he wonders if his actions caused this but he doesn't understand which one could have as he can't think of any that would influence the instructor the small cracks created by the different actions the hero took ended up destroying
the original future in this case to break the ice Demian asks with The Apprentice Will do this time whether he will use a mole or a lightning rat inevitably now the protagonist discovers that the instructor saw his action and he explains that anyone would notice however he is still surprised that the boy acted in such a short time thus praising his quick and impressive thinking at first the instructor was confused but soon realized that initially he thought there were only worms there however among all those low Ranking apprentices there was someone interesting hidden thus the
protagonist understands his mistake regretting having interfered at that moment he doesn't know how many changes he caused in the future but this was certainly the worst possible scenario however Yen believes he's not sure because although the instructor is known to him as one of the three continental swordsman this recognition only happens in the future even so he doesn't know about his Current state witnessing the hero's gaze in this scene Daman Praises him and claps saying he's the best among all laughing the instructor asks if the hero is thinking about how to kill him commenting that
it has been a long time since someone did that to him continuing to laugh he explains that normally people think about how to run away now being being truly speechless and to compose himself he apologizes for having gone overboard and in this case the Instructor decides to give The Apprentice a special opportunity thus he asks the soldier to try to kill him and promises that if he does he will give the desired Freedom which surprises our hero in this case Damien thinks the boy is really interesting having a different look at the moment he mentioned
that it is said that he had never seen someone like him before a mere low ranking recruit who was able to kill a beast and annihilate the pursuit team that was After him his decision-making skills boldness resilience techniques and attention to detail are all at a different level compared to the common trash as if he were born with the purpose of being part of the Special Forces if he grows at this rate it is impossible to know what kind of monster awaits them at the end so now the revelation of everything begins with Damian silently
pleading for the student to show all his skills however contrary To what was expected the hero knels and cries out asking the Lord to help him an atmosphere of disappointment and confusion is created and the instructor is completely bewildered chapter 13 yen in tears questions if this is really the commander instructor and explains that he has poor vision so he can't tell who the person is he also says he had no intention of escaping but was dragged by the soldiers because they said they would kill him if he refused to follow Them however they abandoned
him and suddenly left alone with this the hero said he thought everything was over until he found an instructor Damien in turn questions if what is being said is that he was dragged there by force and the hero confirms in explanation Yan says that number 12 planned everything and that all he did was insult the instructor whenever he had the chance thus Damian says he understands but thinks this is a really flimsy excuse And with this said the hero continues to cry nonstop while pleading with his Lord however the instructor knew what he really wanted
showing a hidden weapon that the protagonist would use after making him lower his guard with a boy's plan discovered the instructor says is disappointing at that moment a blade stealthily approaches his eyes Damian narrowly managed to dodge and understood that the second projectile was launched at the same angle making the first one a Distraction a physiological trick expecting him to dodge the first one with the attack concluded the protagonist is no longer seen by the instructor who believes that escaping was the main plan but it is said that this line of thinking is wrong and
unexpectedly that hero appears behind Damian saying that what he really wants Is Yet To Come the instructor is startled not understanding when the student got there but Yan doesn't give His opponent time to react activating the Deep shadow of the 15th form the shadow elimination slash unexpectedly the hero Retreats realizing that his enemy dodged his attack a black mist covered him to protect protect the instructor's body so now it is Damian's turn to attack after much dodging the protagonist manages not to be hit by the numerous shots launched he thinks that the instructor is still
chasing him and cannot get rid of him at this rate in This case holding his Blade the hero imbus it with a white light called Deep Shadow yam then activates his secret attack ingestion art but due to the intense pressure his dagger shatters into several pieces given the skills displayed Daman decides to withdraw what he said about letting The Apprentice go if he defeated him because he couldn't let such an important toy go a toy like this the best among all thus the instructor states that he could play With the boy for all eternity without
getting bored therefore the hero now understands that he has a mad do obsessed with him but upon looking more closely at his opponent's body a certain symbol catches his attention 22 hours before the escape the daily list was completed in the low-ranking recruits accommodation of the special forces called The Cave that day the hero had already made preparations for the escape and after that he would leave and return To his family even without knowing anything about them and with the only clue being the old pendant he carries with him the hero's determination to find them
and enjoy peaceful life with them was clear however suddenly the pendant breaks revealing something deep inside this symbol could be the Insignia of the protagonist's family the pattern was engraved on the pendants lid hidden behind the glass but there was still no reason for it to be hidden if the hero's Family had such an Insignia it meant that he was neither a commoner nor a slave which was great information initially the protagonist thought you would find someone who recognized the insia but things didn't go as expected for some reason this symbol of his family was
on the body of the Dan instructor of the training center chapter 14 Damian complaining about why his opponent stopped so suddenly the hero understands that he found the Insignia stamped in a totally unexpected place in this case he questions if his family is the same as the instructors but believes it is not possible at this moment seeing that the student will do nothing Damian decides to take the lead in the battle to finish him off however the protagonist though deep in thought is still paying attention to the battle and before anything else lands a kick
on the man's face Dusty questions if he hit squarely but the instructor easily Defends and says that it was powerful asking where he learned things like that in response the instructor believes he should show what he can do as well thus activating the Deep Shadow sword of Blade suppression several blades rise from the ground to pierce the hero from below however Yan manages to defend himself despite having part of his clothes pierced at this moment the instructor acts as if he is playing with a doll as the killing intent in these Black blades is not
the strongest so the protagonist thinks that maybe he can escape when the instructor lowers his guard but he will not be able to discover that Insignia if he flees it is a fact that if Yan is involved with her a Great Rebellion is about to happen across the continent in the near future this Rebellion known as the Armenia Revolt will last for 10 years and countless Nobles will be massacred with the effects being substantial enough to Threaten the life of the Imperial family however even such a great rebellion was suppressed by the emperor's sword who
after executing all the people who instigated their rebellion and their families burned them it was said that the fire burned for 20 days and thus this event was called the 20 days of Twilight the main suspect was the emperor's illegitimate son and there were many rumors about why he instigated the Rebellion there were several rumors About the reason for the Rebellion but no one knew the truth because all relevant records were erased all those who remember him referred to him as the Continental swordsman and instructor of the special forces training center Damian says he can
hear the hero drowning in thoughts even from afar indicating that he's not focusing on the fight the protagonist in turn thinks that if his family is directly related to him and the Armenia Revolt his family Could simply cease to exist in this case he must prevent that from happening at all costs so Yan decides to stay in the special forces and become indispensable to the instructor meeting something to attract him the hero says he is impressed with the instructor's skills as he never thought he would find him on his own therefore he said that the
Special Forces Captain would be happy to see Damian's hard work however the attempt to flatter the instructor Backfires with Daman having the opposite reaction than expected the instructor grabs the protagonist by the face and takes him with him throwing him into a tree very irritated by the joke this simple move makes the forest begin to crumble due to the immense power of that Commander after being swept across the ground the protagonist agonizes in pain and remains leaning against a tree on the ground Damian holds him by his clothes saying he was considering being Gentle but
the boy has a rather arrogant mouth he then questions if he doesn't value the life he has and as he listen off the ground Yan states that even an arrogant person like him can be useful sometimes in this case the instructor wonders what the boy's usefulness could be then yam responds saying he knows the Special Forces Captain's weakness which can be used to end his life the instructor questions how a mere Apprentice could know such a thing but The hero simply says the answer is in Simon's County at Crossing 52 it is said that it
is there where the instructor can find the Special Forces Captain's weakness leaving the commander incredulous a few hours later back at the special forces training center as he walks through the corridors of the place the instructor starts to get dressed and he complains about his tight clothes saying he never thought he would throw away his precious suit like that but There was no avoiding it thus anat asks his Lord what they should do with the three previously mentioned people and Damen just orders them to be thrown back into the cave the aid understands but when
the instructor is about to say something more he's interrupted a certain person at the top of the staircase says his comrade is acting as if he's busy finally he meets the instructor and says that he actually has all the time in the world but he Questions the possibility that the commander instructor is just a lazy bones giving him the opportunity to respond in light of this Damian questions what brings the Special Forces Captain Rodrigo Meyer there without any prior notice this man is number one among all the soldiers and asks how the training center has
been recently the instructor in turn explains that it is running perfectly the captain comments that it is different from what he heard Damian rorts saying that perhaps the captain has heard the rumors that the standards of the recruits are better than the actual Squad members however Rodrigo denies this saying it is absurd and explains that he came to take a look because the quality of the members who came from the training center was horrible thus the instructor counters again saying that it's not their fault because the one to blame is the squad leader who can't
manage his own members In this case the captain thanks him for the advice saying he will take it into consideration despite the seemingly polite conversation the tension between the two increase more and more with the Mana released into the air being capable of shaking the entire environment even the pillars are shaking due to the enormous pressure the two are eminating the man in the hood thinks that the pressure is so intense that weaklings would immediately faint Rodrigo then Suddenly states that he didn't attend the Imperial family's morning meeting as he heard from the others Damien
replies saying that he has more important matters to attend to than such unnecessary formalities so Rodrigo asks what important things he is talking about Rodrigo tells him that there is no such thing as more important than showing respect to the emperor it states that he knows the reason he must have been acting so rudely Damian wonders What it is since the captain is so sure of it the captain says that he is acting rudely due to the certain blood that flows in him which guarded an irritated reaction from him rodri also mentions that he heard
that he missed the meeting due to escape soldiers then he berates him for not being able to handle weak trainees the cin then says that he will take care of it to which Daman replies saying that the captain must have been mistaken about something Damian Mysteriously states that there are no escaped soldiers as he walks away Rodrigo gouts his statement and deems it impossible but he responds saying that his hearing must have gone dull due to his age he explains that the soldiers simply went out to prepare a test then he asked the captain if
he saw any insects to which the captain asks what he meant Damian menacingly says that he is trampling these insects in the training center until their death but Their numbers are endless so it's getting Troublesome his words unsettled the captain which left him speechless Daman continued us and says that he already found the insect's den and that he will be able to exterminate them all he then bids goodbye to the captain as he gently walks out of the place once he left he Rambles to the hooded man that the indigestion he was experiencing went away
once he saw the old man's shocked expression he then changes the topic and Asks if what the hooded man told him is all true and if it isn't then you should know the consequences the man takes off his mask and assures him to not worry and that he will know once he investigates it Damen looks back in suspicion but he does not say a word the man is revealed to be Yan that tells tells him confidently that the information he has is all correct after their discussion yam recalls his childhood where he lived in a
place Named Simon County at Street 52 which is an often neglected Street the houses there look dirty as if it was exclusively for commoners outside a house somewhere a boy shouts to get someone's attention the boy is Yan the pass who asks someone to open their windows and that he will show them something interesting he excitedly tells the person in the house that he caught a huge rat and that it is super cute but the window still doesn't open as the Street is very dangerous for children so continues to ask whether there are any people
in the house he asks again if there really is no one home suddenly someone responds from the house as the window opens the person inside tells him that no one would be interested in seeing a rat the person inside is revealed to be a little girl who also states that she would like to see a squirrel instead of a rat she then Smiles warmly from inside and it is also Revealed to be a special Force's Captain's daughter back at the instructor's office Damian hears his story and he starts giving his judgment he reiterated that Yan
played with the captain's daughter when he was young to which he confirms Yan also adds that there weren't many children so they all knew each other Damian becomes a bit suspicious and states that is a huge coincidence that Yan knew the captain's daughter Yan replies saying that it is Indeed a coincidence while thinking to himself that he doesn't expect him to believe such a lie though he also thinks that he needs to make him believe such a half-baked lie since it would lead to a situation where the captain and the instructor would be at each
other's throats although Daman has been searching everywhere if the captain's weakness he still couldn't find it Yan's proof of believing that he still hasn't found it is the instructor's face when He told him him about the location Damian asks if he did know the daughter's location then why would he think that it's the captain's weakness Yan explains that he heard it in person to which Damen then asks him to elaborate back to his story the girl tells Yan that she is leaving so he asks why she would do so suddenly she explains that there are
a lot of bad people after her dad so they are looking for her as a way to threaten him and Then a few days later she was taken away by people in black clothes Yan states that he only knew those men were Special Forces once he came to the training place and that her dad is the captain Damian hears his story and acts unimpressed at first but it then turns into a smile a few moments later in then laughs loudly at how everything came together and states that if he really is friends with the captain's
daughter he was also able to find out his beef with The captain and capitalize on that so he asks if such coincidences really happen an tells him that the goddess of luck might be helping him suddenly something flies toward Yan's Direction but he swiftly Dodges there was a pen that the instructor was holding which managed to pierce the wall the instructor states that he doesn't believe such a coincidence and that he is more inclined to think that he is the captain spy since it makes more sense Yen wipes off The blood from a slice on
his face that the pen inflicted while looking intensely at the instructor he then states that he understands why he might think that there couldn't be such coincidences which made the instructor Intrigue Yen states that he collected every piece of the puzzle in order to survive such a hellhole the memories from when he was younger and the pieces about the captain and his daughter then the hierarchy within the special forces And his beef with the captain he states that he thought about how these puzzle pieces would benefit him which allowed him to survive the also explains
that if he were a spy there would be no merit in risking his life and this information was for him to use in case his Escape failed so he kept it secret the instructor finally starts to believe in his statement that is full of both lies and truths within the instructor's heart you would have a balance of both Believing and doubting his statement but in order to lean the scales in his favor he reveals another piece of information Yan tells Damien that he knows where the captain's daughter went which made him very intrigued in order
to make the instructor believe his statements he would have to make him believe that he will gain more by believing him which would then tip the scales in his favor Damen lets out an aggressive breath after hearing his words he then stands Up from his desk and Ponders to himself whether the goddess of luck really is helping him Yan nervously waits for his response as he wonders if the scales finally tipped in his favor Damian then asks if the goddess is really on his side which confirms that he believ his statement Yan then tells him
that he will be his mascot of luck which made Damian ask him to shut up the instructure tells him that he will let his Escape slide so he reminds him not To blab about it to the others with this Victory he finally thinks to himself that he overcame a crisis he also thinks that the instructor doesn't believe everything he said but it is enough for now since he would get closer to him in the future Yan apologizes for disturbing him and wishes him a good rest to which Damen lightly responds after Yan left the office
the instructor is left wondering how such a person is ranked 974 he thinks that the other instructors Have really messed up their Vision or the examination system is flawed but he suddenly sees a document that catches his attention the document he is Holdings about Yan which made him smile in excitement as he saw an interesting piece of information in his files he he's impressed with the information which seemed to solve the mystery of why he was ranked 974 a week then passes since the Escape at the blade mountain ranges of the Demonic realm the Special
Forces first trainy Soldier exam will now start this place is a restricted area in the Empire since this area is where all sorts of terrifying monsters Ram around is an absolutely dangerous place during the exam a swamp Goblin attacks the trainees with his rundown sword a traine then attacks the goblin with a sword which manages to strike it straight in the face which also sends the monster's headful line the training that defeated the goblin is surrounded By other trainees for support they then celebrate as they catch their breath saying that the Demonic realm is easier
than expected the cautious training asked them to calm down since there might be other monsters to which they respond saying that they already killed all of the monsters within the vicinity he then explains that they would pass once they get through a week in the Demonic realm so they can now relax at this rate the cautious employee tells Him once again to calm down but now the more serious expression which prompted the excited trainee to apologize he reminded his excited colleagues that there are other requirements to pass the exam which is to kill monsters and
gather their demonic crystals so their scores would be determined by the amount of crystals they gather which could allow them to climb higher than the four Great families the cautious traine then orders them to cool their heads so they Can now start killing monsters again as he speaks to the trainees a monsters hand approaches which Twisted the cautious trainee head backward in an instant his allies are terrified at what just happened and could only watch in horror as their comate died they then ordered the big monster to stay away as they wonder where such a
big thing came from the monster speaks incomprehensive sensibly with his eyes out of focus while playing with the dead Train's Corpse the monster is a mutated ogre that conceals its presence with Mana before approaching its prey after playing with the corpse the monster then throws the body away then swiftly swipes his hand towards the trainee which kills both of them in one attack their corpses are then sent flying all over the place a Magic Orb allows the instructor to spectate the test in detail which made them see such a gruesome scene Damian laughs loudly as
he sees the traines get Murdered brutally he then announces that the first team of 30 members is now wiped out soie reminds the trainees to be careful in the test since cleaning up bodies is troublesome Damien tells them that 50 more trainees will be sent to the warp gate in 5 minutes so as to not waste more time the trainees reply in agreement to his words Yan is with the trainees and thinks to himself that he is still getting dragged into the Demonic realm he then notices that the Instructor looks pretty happy which leads him
to think that he has trusted troops to scout the location that told him about though there are traces of the daughter in that location there is nothing but concrete left in it Yan then believes that he needs to get outstanding scores in order to get closer to him and to achieve that he would need to improve his body since there is a limit to how much he can grow with an incomplete Divine dragon's Breathing technique so now he thinks that being sent to the demon realm might not be so bad after all since there are
still two Treasures hidden in the demon realm which could allow him to grow his strength even faster suddenly the instructor seems to be shouting at the platform about something unexpected Yan wonders what it is since it is rare to see the instructor the surprise they then kneel down on one me in order the trainees to also pay their respects Someone then suddenly walks for the platform and it is revealed to be a future ruler of the cavalin Empire Yan recalls something from the past which is that about 500 people will die due to the first
test and that there are no other noteworthy events meaning that the Crown Prince Leon did not appear in the past Yan is distraught and looks fiercely at the emperor while wondering why he was here he could not have possibly forgotten him thanks to him Murdering Yan the Crown Prince then greets the trainees Yan feels rage as he sees the face of the person that played with his life and the face that he saw right before he died due to his rage he could not stop looking intently at the Emperor the Crown Prince introduces himself as
Leon cavalin while standing gracefully in front of the trainees they then pay their respects and bend on one me after the introduction but Yan is still burning with anger and is Struggling to keep his temper Prince Liam starts speaking and orders everyone to be at ease he then fiercely proclaims that the trainees that want to get out of the place should raise their hands and that he will guarantee their safety if they do so the Crown Prince continues and says that anyone who has been dragged against their will to this place will be given Freedom
yen is confused at what the Crown Prince is suddenly saying and stares blankly he wonders how the Crown Prince has suddenly changed as he wasn't behaving so gracefully in the past Yan then recalls a scene from his past where he is reporting to the emperor about a special forces team successfully invading the enemy's territory they are at the emperor's residence which is located at the capital Avalon as Yen reports that the team successfully completed their objective the emperor appraises him for the good work that he has done Yan then Tells the emperor that he will
be sending reinforcements quickly which makes the emperor question him he explains saying that the team they sent is small so is impossible for them to make it back alive if they don't send reinforcements Leon then states that he should instead leave them alone so that they can sacrifice themselves to kill more enemies which Yan swiftly opposes saying that they cannot simply abandon the soldiers that fought valiantly the Emperor then States his reasoning and tells him that the world is like chess there are different pieces which are the slaves citizens Knights and Nobles and all of
them exist for the sake of the emperor so for the sake of one king hundreds and thousands of humans will be sacrificed to ensure his survival which is the ideal world for him the emperor a Smiles saying that there is no greater honor than to sacrifice their lives for his sake as yam recalls the scene his Face warps an anger at his despicability the Crown Prince continues his speech saying that the children of nobles have entered this place in order to attain power he then orders them to return unless they want to face in when
he ascends the throne the train is look at each other questioning whether what he is saying is really true while yen is stuck thinking about what happened for Leon to act so kindly Damian then tells the prince that the trainees are in Shock after listening to his speech to which the prince swiftly responds saying that they should stop such an ethical project the commander instructor explains that the Special Forces exist to protect the Empire and the emperor which triggers Leon and he says that what he said is simply ridiculous since the emperor exists for the
people and he questions the purpose of the crown his only purpose is to drive the people into life or death situations he then Confidently states that there is no meaning to having such a crown and that he opposes that kind of thinking Liam tells him that such evil practices should be gotten rid of to which Daman opposes saying that the emperor already approved it which makes it completely legal the Crown Prince that then questions its legitimacy he then asks the trainees if anyone has volunteered for the test otherwise you shall stand down the trainees murmur
of saying that There shouldn't be anyone who would volunteer for such an exam Leon then shows Daman that no one has stood up which quickly irritates him due to the prince's idealism but suddenly one train he stands up and calls the Crown Prince it is Yan and he confidently introduces himself and States his number then he tells the prince that he would like to volunteer for the exam Leon thinks for a bit and realizes that his number 974 sounds familiar the crown print then Asks him why he would not like to get out of the
Special Forces since they are treated badly to which he responds saying that they really are being treated badly but he also states that there is something that is given fairly regardless of rank he fiercely yells that it is the qualification for them to risk their lives in order to ascend higher Yan stares intensely at the emperor and states that he will participate in the test in order to get Something that he wants to achieve after hearing his answer Leon calls the commander instructor he then tells him that he has taken an his Soldier and he
doesn't deserve Leon also tells him to continue the test since he not go back on his words but on the condition that he will observe the whole process on the sidelines to which Daman agrees the commander instructor then orders the trainees to repay the prince's kindness with their lives which Garners Everyone's agreement as the trainees go towards the warp Circle the instructors carefully explain how the gate Works they say that they will enter the mountain ranges via the gate and that once they enter their locations will be assigned they then remind them that bodies sometimes
disintegrate due to transmission errors but they assure them not to worry about such things after the other trainees enter the gate is finally Yan's turn to go they started the Countdown once he stepped into the warp gate as he is being teleported he thinks back again to the fact that Leon didn't come to the training center at this time in the past he also wonders why he is completely different from the emperor that he knows of the countdown then reaches its end which Begins the transmission of his body as his body is being transmitted he
wonders what happened to the Crown Prince moments later he's finally transported into the Demon realm the transportation is a success seeing that he is slowly being integrated into the place Yen checks all his limbs for good measure and finds that it's all intact so now he is ready to go he complains that he is teleported to a place where no one is around but he quickly moves on and decides to search for a weapon but he stops in his tracks after noticing a certain smell he is at the valley of wind and the blade mountain
ranges and he remembers the Smell of the valley which is a mix of demonic energy and sulfur not long after he also hears something from behind it is a monster and it swiftly attacks from Yen's back in another area inside the demon realm a kakatu griffin is rampaging all over the place the scared train are trying to run away since they might get single-handedly taken out by the Griffin a scream is Led Out by the Griffin which is quickly stopped by someone as they slice its face straight In half the one that attacked is none
other than Lorina who used the 15th form of the Dark Soul Arts as she attacked her eyes remain calm and her gaze as cold as ice the other trainees thanked her for helping them afterwards since they would have died if it weren't for her but Lorina shrugs off their thanks and instead asks if their team is made up of low rank trainees they answer saying that their members ranks are mainly around the 700 so they were Trying and get out of the valley since too many of them are injured the weak traines then ask if
they can follow Lina until they get out of the valley to which she coldly replies saying that it doesn't matter either way but they thank her regardless Lina is thinking deeply to herself and wonders where Yan is since there is no way that he would already be dead she thinks back to the Bold attitude Yen showed and Ponders why he is trying so hard to keep the test Going suddenly someone interrupts her thoughts and criticizes her for doing stupid stuff the person is cruel who disgustedly asks why she wants to travel with such weaklings since
they will only get in the way he adds that they can't even use them as meat Shields cruell continues his beage and asks her if such compassion of hers will really help to which Lena warns him to watch his words and that the ranks don't really matter he provokes her further saying that the Number one spot will be changed after this test but Lorina replies telling him that if he focuses too much on the ranks then he will lose sight of what's important thankfully someone interrupts their heeded conversation which turns out to be casha she
then calls cruel shortsighted and explains that there is no need for them to compete with each other even if the test is individually graded cruell asks if she's also traveling with the weaklings to which Casha answers saying that she promised to help all of them pass and that the bigger the group the better she also adds saying that the Nobles should lead the commoners kru mocks her words and laughs a bit he asks her if such a traitor as bloodline could be considered abbility which darkened her expression immediately cruilla continues mocking her desire to lead
commoners and asks her to recall with the evering family did while leading the commanders he then Reminds her to be careful since it would be a waste for the last surviving member of the in family to go to The Gallows casha manages to regain her composure and retain her smile she thanks him for his concern and admits that she was too focused on restoring her family's honor but she also says that she is envious of cruel at times like these since he has his two older brothers taking charge of the Dwight family so he can
live however he likes which makes cruel snap he then Goes to attack her but is quickly stopped his hand is about to reach Cash's neck but Lorina manage to stop it in time he curses at her as his hand shakes in Rage Lina commands him to calm down with a steadfast gaze so he finally gives in and lets out a sigh in Anger crural pushes her hand away and calls both of them fools as he walks away and defeat back at the blade mountain ranges cruel irritatedly complains that he would only be dragged down by
traveling With such useless weaklings as he walks he also recalls a scene from his childhood there he is sitting on the floor while someone tells him to not want nor think about anything and simply live as if he is already dead he is salty at the fact that he remembered such a scene but his train of thought is quickly stopped by Blood traces on the ground cruel sees that it leads behind the Boulder and The Blood also smells fresh so he wonders if the place is a Monster's Lair he decides to hide himself and observe
since it would be Troublesome if there are two many monsters but he only sees a human alongside all of the corpses which shocks him kruel identifies the monsters which are red goblins and he wonders if he managed to kill all of them he also wonders what on Earth the person alongside the monsters is doing kruel becomes even more shocked after he sees the monsters being eaten by the person Who is revealed to be Yan but Yan unaware that he's being watched continues munching on Monster meat back before before cruel finds him eaten monsters Yan is
thinking about the two important items that can be found in the blad mountain ranges so he must obtain them quickly in order to execute his plan as he is wondering what item he should get first he notices a monster coming from behind which is a red Goblin and it tries to attack him with its Claws but Yen easily counters its attack and rips his heart out by using the 21st form of the Dark Soul Arts named draconic Flames he then uses his attack to burn the monster as the monster is engulfed By Flames it lets
out a loud shriek until nothing is left but its heart the loud always attracts more red goblins who are starving for meat Yan sees the horde of bloodthirsty red goblins and he believes that he finally got lucky since the bloodthirsty red Goblins have what he is seeking he leaps toward the Goblins after seeing them March right onto him as he is in the air he casts a magical fire spell in his hand to cook all of the Goblins the Goblins shout at Yan as they try to attack the Yan simply grits his teeth as he
unleashes his powerful attack what he's looking for inside the Goblins are magic crystals which are usually used as accessories or magic items but one day something happened which caused the Value of magic crystals to rise astronomically a professor named Isaac published a thesis in the academy he's an old man with white hair and looks as if he's nearly dying Isaac discovered that humans can absorb the traits and Mana of a monster using magic crystals for example the stamina from Orcs regeneration from trolls and the strength from ogres due to such absurd claims the world of
academics oppose his thesis and so the Headmaster named Neuron asks Isaac to prove his thesis otherwise he would have to be expelled Professor Isaac proves it and manages to turn neuron's frail old body into a muscular hunk his thesis is then approved which makes the whole continent excited due to this monsters became more frequent Ines rather than in dungeons a person once asked the professor if absorbing Mana Stones has a complicated process the professor ansers saying that the process to remove the poison from The magic crystal is extremely complicated since it needs either the flower
of the Moon bu or volcanic stones but he explains that the absorption process itself is very simple the only step to do is to just eat it which yen is currently doing it complains about the taste and that he never thought you would be eating monsters ever again his solution to mitigate the poison is to eat the magic Crystal with a heart and a two one ratio but he couldn't fully Neutralize the poison which makes him cough blood since the poison of the magic crystal is destroying his insides he must use the Divine dragon's breathing
in order to slowly eliminate the poison he successfully neutralizes the poison and he decides to take it slow to prevent himself from being poisoned again but suddenly cruel strikes from behind and seemingly hits Yan his face lightens up after seeing him fall and he smashes into the ground Right after KW thinks that even if Yan surprised him back then he is still no match for him so now he will be taking the crystals but he instantly realizes that Yan is gone and looks for him Yan appears and tells him that cooligans like him are much
more dangerous than monsters which cruel ignores and asks how he managed to avoid his attack cruell continues and accuses him of being a barbarian that eats monsters gads that if he shows his sincerity then He would spare his life Yen asks how he's going to show his sincerity in Cruel answers saying that you should give him all the magic crystals he has gathered so far he responds saying that he has has no more magic crystals but kruel accuses him of lying kruel gets mad and says that he can easily kill him since no one else
is present Yan agrees with his statement and menacingly repeats his words saying that there is no one else with them kille thinks that He is finally agreeing with him and asks for the crystals but Yan simply dashes towards him and punches him with great force straight to the solar plexus which knocks him out while cruell is unconscious he remembers a place in his past the place is the Dwight estate which is his family home at age 12 he decides to Aspire to be the master of their state after understanding the ways of the world however
he was unfortunate to have two Elder brothers that would Stop him from being the head his brothers were scared of him so he was thrown into the special forces training center under the pretext of training their decision to put cruel into the Special Forces made them Unforgettable to him due to this he filled with immense hatred towards his two brothers so he swears to exterminate all of them once he gets out but his mind goes back to right before he was hit by Yan the punch was so intense that he fainted Almost immediately he also
puked blood all over the place and so later on they are at a place called The Valley of snakes due to its singular slithering path no one dares to approach this place so no one knows where the end of the valley is cruell complains as he is walking he is carrying a bag of dead goblins and his neck is also leashed he continues to say that such actions are not befitting the true successor of the Dwight family but Yan tells him to shut Up and to move quickly so he Yanks the leash he also says
that he doesn't want him yapping about his family anymore Yan mocks him and asks how long the young Master of the Dwight family is going to continue whining for cruell complains saying that he should also pull the Goblins but yam replies saying that it's punishment for attempting to kill him so Cru will then asks why he is making him carry so many goblins but y simply tells him to shut up and that it should be Easy for him to carry since he uses Mana cruel warns him that he can get punished by the empire for
making the noble do manual labor and also calls him a barbarian as he continued yapping a rock was thrown straight to his nose he squirms in pain so Yen mocks him by saying that he thought Nobles didn't feel any pain while he's on the ground he wonders who Yan is at first he thought that he lost because he had let his guard down but after getting back up And cursing at him he still got hit he is back up again with tears in his eyes which resulted in him getting hit repeatedly Yan tells him that
if he did something wrong that he should apologize so he would get hit less his words cause him to become silent and fill him with rage thinking that once he recovers his Mana he could kill him Yan detects his bloodlust so he looks back enraged saying that cruel didn't listen to anything he said so he offers to teach Him a lesson again cruel's bloodlust slowly disappeared after hearing his words and makes an excuse to to escape his punishment Yan calls him out for his excuses and threatens to beat him up if he doesn't comply to
which cruel agrees as they both walk Yan thinks that cruell is a bit strange since he detects a small trace of blood lust from him though it's heading in all directions Yan recalls an ominous magic that uses the same kind of energy just like there Is black magic that uses the power of Darkness there are also demonic martial arts that use the power of Darkness with this power you can obtain strength quicker than any other martial arts at the cost of breaking down the users's Mana over time turning the users into Madman once they eventually
become devoured by the ability which reminds him of cruel's nickname in his last life which is The Blood star he was Notorious for committing evil deeds in order to Succeed his family Yan wonders if it's due to his martial arts but he doubts it as well since he doesn't look like he learned it yet Kell requests that the leas should be taken off though yam refuses to do so since he might Escape but he replies saying that there is only one path so it is impossible to do so he also adds that he isn't an
animal and then it's weird to see two guys use a leash on each other KW will then ask Yan what the others would think if they get Seen which convinces him so he proceeds to take off his leash immediately cruell tells him that it feels better to walk around without the leash but Yen simply tells him that they have arrived and that his role is now done so cruell asks where they are right now Yan almost replies saying that it is the second treasure he needs but stops Midway and he simply tells kruel that the
place is where a real treasure is hidden he also adds that it is a monster instead of a Creature to be precise cruel complains that he carried so many corpses just for them to dump them into the abyss after cruel throws the Corpses he asks if it is all done but Yan ominously tells him that he will give him some advice as a reward for working hard he tells him that he should run to the gate quickly without looking back the reason he warned kruel to run is because of the monster that lies deep in
the abyss whose eyes shine bright as it received The goblin corpses inside the abyss there are scattered corpses of goblins these corpses are all bloody and sliced up and their blood was able to fill a magic circle engraved into the ground after enough blood is supplied to the magic circle it begins to activate it then turns red as someone realizes that they have been Disturbed its darkened face is lit up with Fury as it tries to find the one who woke it from its Slumber it then lets out a very loud and Creepy sound cruel
hears the voice and asks Yan what he did Yan tells him that the one who Disturbed the monster was cruel himself and he adds that the monster is now coming the monster then tells them to offer themselves to him it then does something creepy as it seeks Souls its bloodshot eye opens looking enraged casha and Lorina feel the monster's strong presence and they confirm it with one another Lorina tells her that an unimaginable evil Mana is Spreading through throughout the area despite coming from the snake Valley Kasha doesn't know what to do since it is
her first time encountering such a powerful existence so she asks Lorina how strong the monster will be but Lorina simply tells casha to change their plan and that they will now head to the gate immediately which makes casha ask why such a random change was made though Larina simply announces to the trainees that they will now return To the gate as soon as possible and dispose of everything unnecessary the other trainees agree immediately but Kasha asks her why she's panicking so much Len explains the monster's strength since Kasha was asking about it earlier so Lina
tells her that its strength is on par with the patriarch Kasha couldn't believe what she just said since the patriarch's fighting abilities alone are always on par with the top five of the kingdom and not only that he is also the Guardian god of the north so cashia asks her again if the bol's patriarch really is on par with the monster's Mana since if that were true then the instructors also wouldn't be able to defeat such a monster meanwhile at the instructor post an instructor spots something flying around and points it out to the others
but his comrade simply tells him to stop slacking off the monster then ominously states that something is not enough right after that the instructors are Killed in the blink of an eye a trainy asked Roman what is happening in the test but he shuts him up saying that he should attack the monster first they become surrounded by flames right after the monster slowly becomes satisfied as it consumes more and more souls back at Lina's party everyone is making a run for the gate but one person has his whole upper body cut off in an instant
by the monster Lorina tells the others to hang on since the gates will be Within reach right after passing the area ahead but someone suddenly states that there is a voice he is hearing the team then halts after hearing the voice and asks who it might be is a train even tells them that a voice in his head is asking him to offer his soul since it doesn't have enough Souls so he tells the voice in his head that he agrees to offer his own soul which quickly mutilates his body moments after his offering casha
sees the trainee's body Change and becomes alarmed it then bursts into pieces which splatters blood all across the area Lina asks if it is an ambush but casha informs her that it isn't and that there is something happening in the distance the blood from the dead traine is floating midair and then forms a familiar pattern once completed it becomes a magic circle that quickly activates the monster tells them that as Fon already which makes the other trainees suffer from extreme Headaches lurina reminds everybody to be careful due to the dangerous foe in front of them
she nervously stares at the magic circle as she awaits the monstrosity that is about to emerge the monster begins to come out of the circle while accusing them of disturbing his Slumber its head then comes out of the circle revealing a skull hidden within a hood as his body starts to take form he thanks them for their service once his body is fully formed it is revealed that The monster is an ancient Lich he then ominously tells them that he will thank all of them by giving them death a long time ago the Mages were
once saddened by the fact that human lives are finite despite magic being infinite and so they became blinded by greed as they researched how to pursue magic eternally as a result they offered their souls to the darkness and obtained eternal life with them also offering their bodies and killing themselves they turned into Undead which is a being that despises all living things after becoming Undead they become beings known as after the lich's appearance the weaker trainees feel their heads hurt while Lorina stays Vigilant and notices that the monster is not a normal Lich she realizes
that this Lich has consumed numerous lives and is it being that has existed for almost an eternity so she questions how such a monster appeared in the training exam meanwhile somewhere in The demon Rome the team of escapes led by Roman is asking him why they are suddenly running away Ronan tells them to shut up and to Simply look at their surroundings to see the answer they realize that the corpses are of instructors so they wonder who killed them Ronan doesn't pay attention to what they are saying and instead remembers Yan he recalls something that
happened right before they got teleported Rowan approaches Yan and tells him that he Looks better than expected for someone that was caught escaping as well though Yan simply dismisses him but Roman proposes that they team up in the blade mountain ranges since it would be dangerous to move alone but Yan insists that he moves by himself though he decides to tell Roman something which made him intrigued Yan continues and tells him to run towards the gate the moment they feel something terrible as he recalls Yan's warning Roman wonders Whether this incident is his doing as
well and he also wonders what on Earth he is doing right now back to Larina and Cash's team the ancient Lich asks them if they woke him up as he slowly approaches the party this makes the other trainees freak out and decide to head to the third gate instead Lina then orders everyone to run away as she stands her ground Kasha also tells her that she should get going too but Larina insists that she stays so she readies Her sword for a fight she tells her that she will buy time for all of them to
escape while charging up her Mana Lorina then requests cashia to evacuate the trainees while she stays behind to fight the Lich Kasha warns her that she can't defend against the Lich alone but casha remembers that she needs to survive in order to help her own family which leaves her no other choice so she runs away telling Lorina that she'll let her handle the Lich as she runs away she Apologizes to Lorina for her Cordis the ancient Lich calls Lina a fool after letting all her comrades Escape without her it then asks if she intends to
fight by herself though Lina keeps her cool and thinks of her chances of winning she has only two advantages in the fight against the ancient Lich the first is her blessed mythal sword that is strong against Undead monsters but suddenly she's interrupted by the ancient Lich chanting words she doesn't understand as The chant continues several skulls with spines attached to Pier it then forms a circle as the ancient Lich completes the spell named skull magic Missile elix then launches the spell as it tells her to die skulls then come flying towards her Direction at high
speeds so she gets moving in order to avoid the skull missiles she uses the skill Wings Of The Wind swallow of the Dark Soul Mobility Arts to get past all of the skulls without a scratch as more skulls head Towards her she un sheets her sword to defend against the waves of skulls after grabbing her sword she throws it straight at the oncoming skulls which brings out a blinding light once they Collide after the bright flash of light disappears the Lich is off guard right in time for Lina's surprise attack from behind she slices the
Lich apart and manages to damage it significantly with one big slash she reveals that her second Advantage is that Mages cannot Cast both defense and attack magic at the same time so she announces that she will have the upper hand once she makes use of those two advantages but her certainty disappears once the ancient lch suddenly chant another spell the spell it casts is a magic defense Circle named protect wall which greatly surprises her as she sees the Lich double casting spells but she immediately realizes that one of the lich's skulls is doing the chanting
Which leads her to believe that the Lich can cast magic as many times as the number of its skulls while she is distracted a skull sneaks up to her side and launches a powerful spell on her that manages to directly hit her this attack causes her sword to fly away from her hand as she becomes incapacitated by the Lich she panics after seeing that she is completely unable to move due to the Lich binding her arms the Lich begins to approach her yet her body is Still unable to move due to the skeletons incapacitating her
the ancient Lich then mocks her for she's approached the Lich without any backup so she has now been captured it then states that it will now destroy her arrogant Soul as a cast a powerful spell onto her which turns her into a living corpse that serves only him the spell then starts to activate meanwhile at the ancient L's Lair someone is Bravely wandering around in the darkness the person encounters a Flight of stairs leading to some where deeper into the lair the person is dressed in thick fur with an ominous skull attached to its head
he says that the stairs are defenseless so he decides to approach the stairs further but he suddenly feels something beneath his feet a magic trap has been activated to his surprise which then casts Advanced flame magic that lights him up in a burst of fire the Flames are enormous so much so that they surround him Completely but he is still unmoving and seemingly unaffected he then takes off his mask revealing his blue hair in the process the person is revealed to be Yan who states that he has received such a warm welcome come right from
the entrance so he's glad that he brought the volcano armadillo leather which prevented him from burning to a crisp he then says that there are a total of 492 traps and 30 among them are moving traps he explains his plan as he explores the Lair saying that he used the Goblins to lure the Lich out of its layer so he can now get his hands on the treasure while it's gone Yan believes that he could not have executed his plan if he had not known about it from his time as the captain back then he
received a report after he had gone on an assassination mission the report stated that the ancient Lich was encountered during special force training which killed 900 trainees leaving only 100 survivors this Huge loss placed the special forces in a critical state after the incident they were able to locate the Lich as they investigated they also discovered the lair which was presumably built in ancient times and contained tons of treasures these Treasures entail Grim wires that would make you a sage even if you rid only one of them and jewels that could make you so rich
that you didn't need to work for life even if you only had one of them the Vian states that one Important treasure was missing it is a life vessel which is an egg of Mana that contains the the L's life and Mana this life vessel that was destroyed in his past life is still present in the current time he then adds that the incomplete secret technique that the emperor gave him only allowed him to absorb power but he was unable to compress any of it but if he had the life vessel then he could use
it to replace the missing function of Compression which completes the Divine dragon's breathing he believes that he could surpass his own strength in his previous life if he makes use of these incredible opportunities Yan continues to explore the lair and he finally comes across the place where the treasure is located which is at the lich's all beyond the huge door before him there's also the bottom level of the lair he recalled the contents of the report on how to get past the door so G now tries To get past the door by throwing a dagger
toward it this dagger approaches the door but disappears right before impact the door then attacks Yan but he skillfully Dodges out of the way Yan states that he has heard that there was a gatekeeper so he deduces that the door itself is the gatekeeper he is confused that it attacked him since he even input the secret code the door tells him that the facial recognition has failed and that you should verify again with the Right face so gives up on getting through the door and finds another way around the alternative way inside the altar stated
in the report is near the pillar so he tries feeling it out he finds a button in the pillar and he pushes it which reveals a hidden door leading to a staircase this is a secret passageway designed especially for slaves to enter Yan recalls that the lair is a labyrinth with a ton of traps so it will take him a while to get Through though he believes that a former special force Captain like him can do so with ease and he also has plenty of time to spare since Lina will buy him plenty of time
back to the L's fight it is now in the process of activating the spell which makes tentacles appear from the skull Lorina berates and mocks the Lich as the tentacles approach her face but the Lich simply looks forward to controlling her soul after he finishes the spell the Lich tells her that he Will rip her head off and use it as his livestock and the rest of her body will be transplanted into an orc so the Lich wonders if she will still retain her arrogance once he has done all of that which severely disgusts Lorina
the ancient Lich then states that he will now begin which causes the tentacles to launch towards Lorina and it seemingly impales her head with the tentacles so surprisingly Lorina laughs which takes the Lich back she mocks the Lich saying That he talks big despite tasting like crap as she bites into the tentacles the Lich gets angry due to her mockery and casts another spell he then proclaims that he will now turn her into dust due to her arrogance as he readies his dark Annihilation magic but he stops right before releasing the spell Lorina wonders why
the Lich suddenly stopped though the Lich isn't paying attention to her anymore and pours its attention elsewhere the Lich is nervous about a Feeling his right now because he has just detected that the barrier has been broken in the Magical Door earlier so he wonders whether someone went inside the altar the then pulls Lorina closer as he accuses her of being bait he then asks whether it was their plan to distract him while someone snuck into the altar but she denies knowing anything about what he is saying so the Lich gets angry and throws her
to the ground after accusing her of lying he walks away as He orders the skulls orbiting him to open the gate back to the lair the skulls then make a magical portal in the air as the Lich is preparing to enter the portal he States the coordinates to where he is going he then steps into the portal to the altar Lina gets up with her aching body due to the fight and she wonders where the L suddenly disappear to Meanwhile in the blade mountain ranges and inside the L's altar a magical Circle pops up on
the floor the Ancient lch is enraged as he asks who the person trespassing is with the air shaking due to the magical Aura he is emanating he shouts again asking who dared to enter his altar without permission the Lich couldn't believe that someone managed to get inside his lirer as he had set up the traps inside for a thousand years leading him to believe that this was done by the Empire as he looks around he notices empty vials of Elixir that he had once stored He gets even more en rage and so he shouts questioning
who drank his Elixir his rage is due to the fact that these Elixir are the best potions that he had refined in the last thousand years which Could reconstruct mana and physical bodies he had prepared these Elixir for the sake of being revived as a human but due to someone drinking an all his efforts have now been wasted a person behind him hears his rant and tells him that the potions he made tasted quite Good theit turns back as he realizes that the person speaking is the one that got past the barrier though the person
simply asks him to calm down with the elixir in his hand the person is revealed to be Yan and he is in a drunken State due to ingesting too many Elixir so he offers the Lich a drink his drunken days he then tells the ly that saving something for so long is just as good as wasting it the Lich is dumbfounded after seeing the person that Took his Elixir he realizes that the person that drank all his Elixir is not sent by the Empire but instead a dumb wasted kid which annoys him Yan jokingly asks
him if he got in the way of his fun on the surface seeing how the Lich eagerly rushed into the altar her which triggers the Lich and so he threatens to kill them all but Yan mocks him saying that he wouldn't even know if his lair was being raided if he had just gone through the secret passageway then he Would have gotten away with everything to which the Lich questions him as to why he would break the barrier instead Yan stammers for a bit after hearing his question the face of Lorina pops up in his
mind which implies his answer he then leaps into the air and tells the lick that he just felt like destroying the barrier as their fight starts the impact of both of their attacks causes a bright red light to flash after their initial Exchange Yan is still fine he Mentions that he found ancient documents and books about Mana hearts and energy cores so he asks how he gathered all of those the Lich ominously laughs at his question Yan's eyes sharpen as the Lich explains how he gathered these texts the Lich introduces his name as moment he
explains that he had become an undead in order to take revenge and he has prepared to do so for the last Thousand Years moment's eyes light up as he shouts at yam for foiling his plans Despite having to face the humiliation of becoming an undead in order to take revenge against the one who took everything from him all of his efforts are now ruined due to him but Yan doesn't pay attention to his speech and drinks another vial of Elixir instead as he sips the potion he comments on how intoxicating it is which leaves the
Lich speechless moment gets fully enraged due to his behavior and berates Yan as he casts a spell to attack him the L Proclaims that he will vaporize all of his arrogance with a flaming attack called Crow's breath though yen is fully calm in the face of the upcoming attack he then orders M to stop with a decisive glint in his eyes Mon's hand which is bursting with flames stops as he realizes something crucial about Yan the L couldn't believe the energy of the Mana coming from yan yan laughs for a bit and confirms moment's suspition
as he opens up his own shirt moment then Berates him after revealing that he had used his life vessel an Smiles mockingly as he shows off the life vessel planted deep into his own chest which allows him to gain a Mana heart the Lich gets mad after realizing that Yan actually ingested the life vessel at the wide area of the altar Yan is now squidly running across the place since he needs to dodge moment's beage of attacks that started once he fully anger him as the Lich chases down Yan he tells him that He is
impressed by his ability to run despite being weak to which Yan replies saying that he has no choice but to run Yan also explains that they will both die if he gets killed since he has his life vessel deep within his body moment tells him that he won't kill him but instead he will revive himself using his body he tells Yan that it is only fair since he destroyed his Thousand-Year preparation the body that has absorbed his life fessel and all his Elixir will Be of use to him Yan gets shocked at the Lick's plans
after he hears that at once he use his body but he takes it the wrong way and mistakenly thinks that moment meant it in a romantic way which annoys the Lich even more M then tells him to give up and that he will take care of his body as he casts multiple magical spells at once Yan is surprised to see that multiple magic circles appeared at the same time so he is now left with no choice but to use the Divine dragon's breathing technique in order to counter moment's attacks the magical circles activate releasing fire
directed at Yan at the same time he uses his Mana heart to gain power and in a split second a barage of attacks shatters the ground where Yan once was causing various debris to fly up into the air due to the impact moment hasn't used such power in a while so he doesn't know if he has killed Yan due to being unable to control its power Yan appears From behind and mocks him for worrying about him Mona then casts another spell stray at Yan but he manages to avoid it by jumping up into the air
he then bounces around the ceiling at lightning speed which surprises moment as he thinks that Yan is only a weakling at the broken barrier door Yan escapes through it and smashes it more along the way as he leaps around the lir he thinks that the Mana heart is well worth his effort efor thanks to the Mana heart Endless Mana is being circulated which allows him to use Divine dragon's breathing properly with him consuming Mana crystals and elixirs delicious life vessel as well which he ingested by slowly merging it with his own heart he will be
able to return to his prime strength or maybe even stronger this time suddenly Yan notices something and he stops in his tracks since there is now a dead end where the exit was supposed to be moment has now caught up With him due to the door disappearing which is also a part of the lich's Trap as the Lich gets ready to attack him once again Yan now thinks that he would have to kill him but that isn't possible for him to do right now due to his lack of tools and weapons at the moment moment
gets ready to cast another spell he is summoning a monster through a magic circle which is a dragon skull that aggressively attacks Yen on the spot a bright light flashes at the Impact of the fight Yen explains that he doesn't have a way of defeating the Lich even so the monster was successfully killed which is done by someone who suddenly entered the scene is a person Yan thinks that Common Sense doesn't work on the Crown Prince Leon who confidently tells Yan that he can hamle the Lich Leon states that he came to the lair as
fast fast as he could after hearing that something happened during the training but he didn't expect an Undead monster to appear the Crown Prince reprimands moment for eliminating hundreds of promising trainees who are also his citizens Leon aggressively proclaims that he will never forgive the Lich for what he did though the Lich stays silent after all his statements Yen then greets him which urges Leon to question him about what he is doing at such a place since he looks like a trainee he then explains that he was tracking the Lich and got separated from The
rest of his group which makes Leon realize that he was the one who informed him of this location and smirks thinking that the prince's timing was perfect so he thanks Roman in his head since before the test he whispered an order to Roman telling him to report to the commander and the Crown Prince about the lair's location in case everything went wrong the licks then realizes that the body and energy of the prince are familiar so if he asks how the prince is related to A man named bahmed Leon then asked a question in return
about why he knows the founding Emperor's name which shocks M completely the Lich laugh aloud after hearing that the prince is a direct descendant of Bahamut mman then recalls that man's face when he prayed him for making the Divine dragon's breathing right after Bahu Praises him he then orders M to die in order to keep the technique to himself after recalling his bitter memories M grins since he can now Take revenge on the descendant of his sworn enemy the licks recalls his memory from before he was brutally killed he's at a li in where he
is practicing magical spells and skills this is a time when moment still had skin and flesh at the time moment had always wondered about something the energy core's stable flow and ability to maintain energy and the Mana serle's explosive amplification and ability ility to absorb he wondered what kind of great power would emerge if These two were suddenly combined so in order to quell his curiosity he used the body of his friend bahmed which was done successfully resulting in new Mana manifesting his body this was the birth of the Mana heart Bahamut stands still after
gaining a Mana heart he then flexes his triceps which urges moment to tell him to put on some clothes moment tells him that he has noticed a major surge in his power so he asks him if he noticed to which baham answers saying That he notices and that he can create a new martial art so the two then create a new martial art that makes use of the Mana heart and name it after bahamut's wish which is the Divine dragon's breathing M then tells him that there are countless possibilities with a man of heart so
he must research more suddenly bahamon apologizes to him which makes moment question what he meant but before he could answered he suddenly felt pain bahamut's hand pierced through His chest which surprised him he explains that this is where moment's role ends Bahamut Praises him for all of the things he had done and even calls him a friend he also tells him that the Divine dragon's breathing couldn't have been made without him so en now needs him to die since he knows too much Bahamut leaves after greedily proclaiming that everything must only belong to him and
so time passed Mon's soul is still able to persist even after Death and he wonders how long it has been since he was betrayed he was only barely able to hold on to his soul with a weak Mana left within him with that weak Mana he was able to cast magic onto his rotting body with only one thought in his mind which had been solely revenge in order to bring punishment to those who had wronged him and the one who bet trayed his trust for that you remain in his layer for thousand years as the
seasons changed continuously back To the present the fight raged on as moment burst out of the door it seems that he has taken some damage from the Crown Prince of he retreated for a while but after almost getting away he notices something that surprises him is the Crown Prince that has swiftly followed his tail while riding a pillar the pillar then broke into pieces after the Collision Mon and counterattacks by casting multiple Spells at once with the intention of turning Leon into fine dust But the Spells he cast all broke after mere seconds it's due
to Leon's skill Golden Dragon descent which managed to slice through all of the magical circles mon curses Bahamut for having a descendant that would get in the way of his plans once again even after a millennium Liam then curses the Lich for mentioning the name of the person he believed to be the great founding Emperor the two fly up into the air following their exchange they exchange Attacks back and forth as one side attacks with spells while the other breaks the Spell's cast the instant that moment cast a spell it is hit by lean's attack
before it could even activate moment is at a loss after realizing that he doesn't have time to cast magic circles so he thinks up another solution instead he orders his skeletons to grab onto Leon in order to prevent him from moving Leon sees his attack so he mocks moment for thinking sorcery could hold Him back he then proclaims that this situation is better for him as he strikes his sword onto the ground because the skeletons are gathered in one place is much easier for him to attack all of them at once after Liam attacks the
skeletons the magic circles that summon them broke this enrages moment so he cast dark magic as he Braes Leon though the Crown Prince Returns His curses with another attack as well with the Lich using dark Ness extermination Magic and the Crown Prince using a skill called ultimatum they are able to create a bright blinding light as the two powerful attacks collide with each other this bright light even almost reached the ceiling Yan watches the fight continue and he's impressed their abilities to fight he wonders which one is the monster after seeing that the Crown Prince
is as strong as the Lich Yan also notices that the sword energy from lean's sword had a form befitting Its Dragon inspired name so he wonders if the form is actually influenced by the breathing technique as he continues to fight he also thinks that this is a good opportunity for him to see what the Crown Prince is capable of since he might have to fight the Crown Prince in the future though he also thinks that he won't be fighting the prince for now so if he decides whether or not he should get away while the
two are fighting in order to continue through his Adventure But an ominous voice appears from behind rria Meer suddenly grabs Yan's shoulder to halt his departure Yan looks back with sharp eyes as he realizes that the voice is from Meer Rodrigo tightens his grip on Yan's shoulder as he mentions that he finds something strange he thought it was weird that Yan was always in the middle of every problem even when things were really messed up Yan then interrupts his statement and he calls him Captain Rodrigo he stares blankly at Yan pauses and then speaks the
captain insisted that he should call him sir instead of Captain so Yan hesitantly agreed to call him sir Rodrigo then scofs and criticizes the training standards for failing to teach basic manners and specifically how to properly greet superiors Yen flashes back to a memory of Daman and Rodrigo standing face to face although the instructor Commander covered up the Escape incident the report had already been filed C Rodrigo looks at the paper given to him and is shocked to read that four trainees have escaped the escapes were trainees with numbers ranging from the tens to the
900s total in four and all two trainees were caught in the nearby forest with their hands tied and faces covered the pursuit Squad 3 which had been chasing down the final Escape had all been found dead and the Escape trainee was nowhere to be found Rodrigo ends his flashback and points out that Yan was the last traine in the escape attempt an looks at him and stares blankly without saying anything he later heard that the commander joined in the pursuit which makes him Wonder how Yan is able to survive all of these dangerous situations since
he doubts that it is purely luck Yan sp's denying that it's just pure luck which triggers the captain to place a sharp Gaze on him he laugh and attributed his incredible luck to Good Deeds Done in a past life Which made the old man wonder how Yan was able to make such corny jokes at a young age Yan then seriously explains to the captain that he had been threatened by the others during the escape and that with the Lich he was almost offered as a sacrifice he then ask Yan if he really wants him to
believe that it's all thanks to luck to a affirms Yan acknowledged his Good Fortune but then questioned if he would be penalized for being lucky his response left him Completely stunned and unable to comprehend what he had just heard the old man was surprised by the audacity of his answer he's impressed by Yan's guts considering the fact that he is only ranked 974 so he Ponders if he is actually a hidden illegitimate child of a great family Yan then asks if he wasn't going to help Leon the Crown Prince but he answers saying that it
would be silly to help the Crown Prince in his ongoing fight since he would only Be in the prince's way due to the onslaught attacks both sides are unleashing on each other Yan realizes that the lich's vessel had vanished but he was still alive he wondered if the lich's survival was due to an incomplete absorption of the vessel perhaps if he activated his Mana heart to fully absorb it then everything would be over Liam then attacks the LI with a powerful strike from the top aggressively as he announces that the fight is over the Lich
was taken back by the attack but managed to dodge it with surprising agility Crown Prince Leo now questioned the lich's unusual behavior and wondered why he was simply running and dodging his attacks instead of fighting back the Lich clearly annoyed by the comment then snapped him to be quiet he realized his Mana reserves were dwindling and something was actively draining his magical energy Heen glared at Yan and jumped to the conclusion that he was the Source of his Mana drain Yan noticed the lich's accusing stare but instead of reacting defensively he simply gave him a
thumbs up he was now convinced that Yan was responsible for his dwindling Mana he was Furious that Yan had the audacity to mock him Liam was stunned to see the Lich unleashes full power theit with a surge of raw power began to rip open his own torso a horrifying display of UN un leash magic the prince is now shocked to see what was about to happen To the Lich as the Lich Unleashed his power a giant eye emerged from the gaping wound in his torso the lch having unleash his full power now had a single
deadly purpose to eliminate them all Leon with his eyes wide with shock realized that the Lich is utilizing a domain expansion a domain expansion is a skill that manifests the inner world of the user and there are only four Patriarchs besides the Emperor who could use this skill Rodrigo and Yan watching The unfolding scene were equally shocked the Lich then roared and his voice filled filled with murderous intent targeting the descendant of Bahamut Liam was overwhelmed by the sheer power unleash and wondered if the lich's intent was to kill everyone including himself Yan stepped forward
with a determined look and declared that he would not let everyone die he then uses the full power of His Mana heart to absorb all the Mana of the lich's life Vessel as he activated the full power of His Mana heart the Lich is now shocked as he felt his Mana changing Liam then saw an opening and decided to attack the Lich while he was caught off guard thanks to Yan absorbing most of his Mana he then confidently shouts his technique to attack the Lich but his sword suddenly snaps and breaks in half once he
strikes the Lich Point Blank the broken pieces of his sword flew through the air propelled by the force of his Attack himox lean's attack is feudal since he believes there's no way that his attack would work on him but lion pays no mind as he stands still while chanting a new power technique to defeat him this technique infused his own Mana into his blade which repaired his sword with new found energy he then blitzes the Lich cutting him in half in just a fraction of a second with his new attack while the crown Prince's eyes
burn with determination to defeat the Lich his eny Coughs as he delivers the attack to him a shower of blood rained down and splattered everywhere the lich's body was dissolving and its form Fading Into nothingness but still refusing to surrender he stumbles toward Lon while his body disintegrates with each step as he states that everything is all crumbling down the Lich extended his hand to reach Leon while he Ponders that everything will now disappear from his preparations to The Grudges he had grown Just because of a kid Liam's eyes blazed with intensity as his hand
met his face moment then thinks back to his past and states that he would have been willing to give up his life to Bahamut he repeats his monologue as his body slowly crumbles away until his body fully disintegrated into a cloud of great dust that dissolved into nothingness a wave of relief washed over Leon as he confessed that the Lich had been a truly terrifying enemy he then remembers that During the fight the Lich and used a domain expansion which makes him think that if the technique was perfect then nothing would be left of them
The Echoes of the fight faded leaving Leon with a stark realization he was still far too weak Rodrigo and Yan draw near him with the captain naging about his health which triggers the prince so much that he asks him to stop ning so much Liam turned to Yan as he worriedly asked if he was hurt to which Yan answered saying That he is grateful for his help otherwise he would have been dead he then instructed the captain to take Yan to the medical team the three of them then begin their Retreat from the battlefield as
Yan looks back at the events that had transpired he is now able to create his own Mana heart with the Li's life vessel and he also adds that it is good to see the crown Prince's capabilities in Action a hinge of a smirk touched his lips as he Thanked moment and acknowledged his crucial role in his progress a sense of Stillness settled over the battlefield as the retreating figures faded into the distance delicious Hood lay silent but then a subtle luminescence flickered from its interior as the day wore on a heavy silence seled over the
room two wine glasses sat on the table as Yan suddenly mentions that he hasn't had a drink in a long time as he read he then mentioned that he used to drink that Wine in his previous life Yan leaned back while his legs found a comfortable perch on the table as he allowed himself to fully relax and enjoy the break lost in the piece of his break the fight from the previous day seemed like a distant memory he was amazed that such a Grand Mansion was his residence as a trainee Soldier and felt grateful for
the opportunity he then reminisced about his cramp living quarters from the past and contrasted them with the spacious Mansion He now occupied his eyes remain fixed on the book as he remembers the events that happened when he received his test results back then he recalled the ceremony where they were congratulated after the exams an instructor explains that they should still be proud even if the first test was put to a halt due to an unexpected incident he also states that they were able to bring the whole incident under control thanks to the prince's quick Response
the trainees wishfully listened as the instructor announced that he would now reveal the ranks high rank officers are gathered at top of Terrace separated from the other week traines while looking around Lina notices the Commander's absence the announcer continues and declares that accommodations would be assigned based on the trainee rankings while reviewing the list yamas say that those who earned top rankings would be granted the Privilege of entering the Imperial Vault that is located behind a massive door behind a massive door lay a collection of weapons and gleaming swords the room boasted shells filled with
technique manuals and Tower book shelves overflowed with volumes of knowledge he further explained that the floor they are allowed to access is directly determined by their ranking Roman is surrounded by others as he expressed his disappointment at being ranked fifth Kruel who is ranked fourth is grumbling about the Fanfare surrounding the announcement considering that trainees like him were not allowed to access the higher fours unlike others cashia expressed satisfaction with her third place ranking and having endured minimal losses during a competition Lorina was ranked second but remained silent and unreadable as the rankings were announced
the announcement of Lina's second place rankings sparked a flurry Of questions and eager anticipation as the crowd wondered who had claimed the top spot a cold and detached look settled on Loren's face as she dismissed the rankings as inconsequential she also admitted her helplessness against the Lich and revealed that the rankings were merely a superficial display a sudden Outburst of mockery from cruell caught Lorina off guard he continued to taunt Lorina highlighting her failure to maintain her top ranking despite her Arrogance Casher stepped in to defend Lina and interrupted cruel's mockery by explaining that his
current behavior was was likely a result of his unsettled State he continued to mock Lorina and added fuel to the fire by mentioning a circulating rumor that she had not faced the L herself he claimed that she only survived by begging for mercy Lorina endured cruel's taunts without responding as her silence was a testament to her frustration cruell Flinched at Loren's unexpected answer and realized the truth in his own taunts conceding that she lacked the power to defeat the Lich she dismissed cruel's mockery with a pointed reminder to focus on his own achievements and then
walked away her dismissal ignited cruel's anger prompting him to escalate his mockery and further demean her standing Loren's stride was interrupted as her sudden stop was a testament to the impact of cruel's insulting words about her not Being able to replace the position of the Dead Duke of bolf lurina called his name so he could get a hint to not probe further but cruel's mockery increased even further by accusing Lorina of aiming for the former Duke's position which his brother should have gotten long ago Lorina remains silent and absorbed all of cruel's Relentless mockery with
a cold expression as he accused her of having a connection with the death of the Duke despite his smug Smile his mockery was abruptly interrupted by Loren's sudden question he met Lorena's cold glare as she asked him whether or not he would die at this moment a surge of energy coursed through kruel as he red himself to unleash his full power energy crackled from cruel's hands as he Unleashed his power his voice laced with resentment as he had always hated Lorina for acting aloof he then proclaimed that he rip off her cold mask from her
face while he ready his Attack but a sering pain shot through his ear as he released his powers which made him halt his attack the man's grip remained unwavering the constant source of excruciating pain that drove cruel to a frenzy with a desperate feeling to know who was behind it cruel's ear was slowly being ripped off this made him even more enraged SOI shouted asking who was behind him the announcer's voice was heard through the stadium as he announced the name of the first place Finisher the champion was Yan who was also currently standing behind
kruel with his grip on his ear unrelenting then the crowd erupted in a cacophony of shock and disbelief as the announcement of Yan's first place Victory reverberated through the arena Whispers And murmurs filled the air as everyone discussed Yan's impr probable Triumph Lorina her voice laced with disbelief wanted an explanation for Yan's first place Victory the Searing Agony in his Ear continued as cruel desperately threatened Yan to let go a chilling intensity filled Yan's stare as he stared down at him and indicated that his grip would not loosen a sheer power emanating from Yan's gaze
left cruel trembling with his head bowed in submission as he could not meet the Victor's piercing eyes Yan shifted his Focus to Lorina and acknowledged their long overdue reunion the announcer's voice faded into the background as Yan And Lorina continue their animated discussion their world seemingly unaffected by the conclusion of the test a flicker of apprehension crossed Loren's face as she observed Yan and the fear in cruel's eyes confirmed that this was no ordinary man she could feel a palpable tension radiating from him a simmering power that threatened to erupt in a sudden and explosive
release though the torrent of questions surged within her she could not resist the urge to Address one pressing matter that Lit her to call out to him again she suddenly blurted out that cruel had been hurling insults his way cruel's cries of pain e as Yan's grip on his ear tightened his success in achieving the highest rank led to him being granted a prestigious accommodation such a privilege reserved for the elite he then mentioned that the book he was carrying was a rare and valuable artifact that had been retrieved from the Imperial Vault an Inexplicable
feeling of unease washed over Yan as he detected unusual activity Beyond the Door he then realized that someone was waiting outside the door and invited them in as he welcomed the guest lurking outside his door silence filled the room but then a person enters stating that he was stunned to realize that Yan had been aake of his presence all along even though he thought he was concealed the person who entered is the commander whose appearance signaled a Confrontation and he made it clear that there were unresolved issues between them he setted into the chair with
his gaze lingering on the wine before he grabbed himself a glass and took a thoughtful sip of it yam stood up and revealed that he had been expecting him to show up and had gone to the trouble of preparing the wine Yan's teasing remark hinted that Damian's attempts to go unnoticed would be feudal as his presence was unavoidable the commander Then states that he could not understand the crown Prince's worry for Yan especially since he has been keeping a watchful eye on his situation the Crown Prince remained the subject of their ongoing discussion Yan's eyes
met his and a prickling sensation of unease spread through him y hadly swirled the wine in his glass his gaze distant while stating that he feels sorry for the Crown Prince he States his debate over Yan's fate created an atmosphere of Suffocating tension in the room Y and smirk and suggested a hidden hint of irritation as he revealed that he had received a report Yan's gaze was intense his curiosity Peak as he waited for the next piece of information human say that the report he received showed that the designated location was empty and that the
location they checked had been at ghost town for years Yen reasoned that maybe the captain was aware of the surveillance and might have made a move To eliminate any trace of his activities but his means of redeeming himself no longer mattered to the commander the ground trembled as he stomped his foot which was a menacing Prelude to his attack after announcing that yam is no longer useful he then Unleashed his powers with a primal Fury and Unleashed a torent of Untamed energy the table exploded in a shower of splinters as he Unleashed his powerful attack
he stared in disbelief as his attacks seemingly Vanished Yan Into Thin Air which left him shaken and Confused Yen appeared seemingly Untouched by the attack his presence shrouded in an aura of invincibility his eyes locked onto him with a mixture of shock and disbelief washing over him as he witnessed that Yan dodged his powerful attack Yan's eyes burned with determination as he pulled out the book containing the crucial piece of the puzzle he had found his eyes darted to the book then a Flicker of curiosity crossed his face as he listened to Yan's explanation of
the puzzle the book that he disclosed was a treasure he had acquired from the depths of the Imperial vault he revealed that his search had led him to the howed halls of the Special Forces Grand Library the bookshelves held a vast collection of literature dedicated to training methods and the study of monsters he ruthlessly discarded books that didn't peique his interest his Search ended and he froze midair as the book he had been searching for was finally in his grasp his eyes scanned the cover of the book and confirmed that it was the special forces's
research logs he had been searching for Yan also revealed that the book explored the enigmatic condition of blocked meridians which is a state where the body's vital energy is trapped and unable to circulate freely he stressed the urgency of addressing blocked meridians as their Persistence weakens the body's energy and can tragically lead to death he seized the book from Yan and immediately immersed himself in its Pages while asking him what the problem was Yan explains that he could not help but wonder what had prompted the captain to investigate such an unusual subject he states that
the captain's unusual interest in the topic had sparked his curiosity Yan found it unbelievable and incredulous at the Revelation that the Captain would have blocked meridians he speculated that his daughter's lack of energy and tendency to stay indoors might be due to blocked meridians he surmised that the captain's interest in blocked meridians stem from a personal need to find a cure for his daughter's condition Yan had theorized that the captain kept his daughter hidden because her existence posed a vulnerability but he later realized that was not the case he also added that he relocated his
Daughter to a new place to find specialized medical care for her ailment Damian was then growing increasingly frustrated by Yan's seemingly nonsensical theories about the captain Yan explains that with this plan they won't only be able to control the captain they would also will be able to take his life which is much better as opposed to keeping the captain in check an continues and states that no effective treatment has been found for Blocked meridians so he guesses that a substantial amount of potions is necessary to keep her healthy the treatment's exorb and price tag makes
it impossible for him to pay so he believes that he has ways to obtain money illegally an suspected that the captain was using his connections with the Special Forces to acquire illegal funds an theorizes that the captain is doomed if they were to find evidence that he is illegally acquiring funds from the Special forces and with that they can easily hunt the old man down Damon then suddenly brushes aside Yan's suspicions and claims that they were nothing more than wild guesses Yan was unwavering in his belief that if their theory about the captain was correct
then they would have justification to kill him a confident smirk played on Yan's lips as he thought about his plan the instructor scrutinizes Yan and expresses a mixture of skepticism and uncertainty regarding The plans but he changes his mind and decides to believe in him once again he throws the book back at Yan with a sigh then Yan confidently catches the book that he threw at him the commander tells him that he will look into what he has said using his Connections in the investigation Squad and that Yan should learn more about the blocked meridians
Yan then smirks as he realizes that the commander has believed him which is also due to the fact that everything he has Stated is the truth he knows that the captain used the special forces's funds illegally for his daughter's condition thanks to the Uproar it caused in his past life the instructor Commander then suddenly had a random thought cross his mind it seemed unbelievable to him that Yan would sacrifice all those weapons for a book about blocked meridians Yan jokingly emphasized that the weapons held no value to him if he could be of assistance he
then walked away and Headed out after their talk and told Guan that he could skip basic training for the time being confusion clouded Yan's face as he tried to make sense of what he had just said his eyes met Yan's and he seemed poised to say something a look of sheer disbelief washed over Yan's face as the commander declared his plans to make him his Apprentice a hint of amusement flickered across Yan's face as he considered the idea of being the instructor Commander's Apprentice the Commander went on to explain that he had grown fond of
yan and therefore wanted to take an on as his Apprentice Yan saw this as a golden opportunity to draw closer to him he humbly declined the incredible offer then acknowledged his limitations in the face of such a significant undertaking the commander was astonished by their refusal especially given the subordinates skill and his past successful Ambush with humility he then acknowledged his Capture and expressed apprehension about the potential negative impact on the Commander's reputation the Commander's frustrated Outburst abruptly silenced him he stated definitively that the apprenticeship had been decided upon and subsequently exited the room with
a forceful closure of the door a stunned silence filled the room as Yan thinks that everything is gone according to his plan since he got the commander impatient he grasped his locket tightly In his hands as he now believes that he has an opportunity to foster a closer Report with the commander he remembers the Insignia on the Commander's shoulder and he now believes that he has a chance to get closer to the commander which could lead him to his family's secret a look of firm resolve came over his face as he committed himself to the
task of uncovering all the secrets a great day unfolded at the third Arena the arena is devoid of Spectators and functions as an Exclusive training ground for executive Personnel the arena maintained a tranquil atmosphere as Yen meticulously counted his exercises maintaining support with one arm he then performed a series of upward and downward body movements accompanied by audible exertion his commitment to exercise has resulted in improved posture and the attainment of 200 push-ups time passed and he continued to perform his workout routine The Silence of the empty third Arena pressed down on him as he
finally stood and rested he then looks at his body and he could sense his body actively adjusting to the presence of the Mana heart the power muscles rippled beneath his skin a testament to his efforts and yet the agonizing slowness of the change G at him he glanced at the third Arena space and was grateful for his Commander's support the diverse reactions to the benefit bestowed upon him by his commanding officer occupied His mind he anticipated both anger and friendliness from those who knew about his Advantage he also knew his situation would attract more stocking
from his stalker Lina Yan took the book he presented to the commander and added that it was merely a distraction from his true intentions a slow smirk played on his lips as he grabbed the book he'd been searching for and craving he then held a heavy black book filled with the history of the Empire's founding which Rested in his hands Yan now possesses a powerful Mana heart and Yi remained unable to achieve perfect Proficiency in the Divine dragon's breathing technique it occurred to him that the successful execution of the dragon's breath technique necessitated the collaboration
of both Bahamut and M the recollection of the founding Emperor served to underscore the necessity of his knowledge for the successful execution of the dragon's breath technique L's Death on the other hand had the prior theft of his ultimate technique as a reason for his vengeful lick Hood he proceeded to open the book with the expectation that it might contain some indication of the Divine dragon's breathing technique shock rendered him speechless as he gazed upon the book's contents contrary to his expectations the interior of the book proved to be devoid of any inscriptions or markings
whatsoever despite a thorough Examination of each page there were still no inscriptions discovered making him wonder if the rumors he had heard were fake yeduc that Bahamut probably didn't leave such information lying about since he had killed M just to keep it a secret he pondered whether that was a possible explanation for the absence of information within the book he continued to speculate upon alternative explanations for the absence of inscriptions within the book out of the Blue an Inky black and shadowy hand lunge for Yan's head a sensation of being grabbed made Yan spin around
however there was no one and nothing behind him as he turned around to look The Emptiness was unnerving especially considering the human presence he just sensed his gaze returned to the book and a thought occurred to him the blank pages offered no clues yet he had a sudden Insight that might unlock the book's Secrets without warning he and Attacked the pillar behind him with his shadow slash technique he remained alert after his attack managed to reach behind the pillar he assumed in offensive posture and attempted to BCT the post but concluded that his strength was
insufficient for the task Yan then conducted a comparative analysis of his performance against that of the instructor and concluded that the Commander's proficiency was significantly greater he was stunned to Hear a sudden voice from behind the pillar that was calling him a fool the Unseen person scoff and claim that Yan had no chance of solving the book's mystery with deliberate slowness he then began to appear here before Yan stepping into the light he then greeted Yan and remarked on their long absence before revealing his identity as moment Yan shouted in disbelief unable to believe M
was in front of him despite taking a powerful hit from the Crown Prince with A confident air moment then explained to Yan that he grown stronger and wiser since their last match Mona's measured steps were a Prelude to the confrontation and Yan still stood firm with a coiled spring of Readiness his words reduced him to nothing more than a crawling insect in M's eyes a venomous glare shot from Yan's eyes his teeth gring together in a Silent Scream of Fury mman then launched himself at Yan in a blur of motion in a Flash she aimed
A deadly strike at Yan her intent to kill unmistakable the unexpected attack made Yan grit his teeth in shock as her attack launched on Yan moment's form rippled and changed in a terrifying metamorphosis mid strike moment's sudden transformation was noticed by Yan and shocked him in shocking twist M's body had now changed into the form of a mysterious girl who then Unleashed a brutal assault Yan cautioned himself against being missil by moment's outward Appearance he braced for the blow but instead of impact a chilling coldness washed over him as moment's ethereal form pierced his very
being Mon's laughter echoed as she passed through Yan's body again and again leaving him completely stunned he briefly considered the possibility of a ghost But ultimately decided it was merely a figment of his imagination yam realized moment might have become part of his thoughts during the life vessel's Transformation into a Mana heart while he knew for lack of a physical form made her non-threatening her constant noise was driving him mad his voice edged with frustration demanded an explanation for moment's persistent Haunting of the Living World Yan's words provoked a resounding peel of laughter from moment
with a joyful comment she then declared the joy of having a body again and contrasted her previous existence as a corpse with her restored appearance as a Magic scholar a proud stance Mark her returned to human form a transformation she attributed to the influence of Yan's Mana heart a chilling threat hung in the air as she floated and promised the annihilation of yan and the entire bahamama bloodline her eyes burned with a sadistic light and a chilling smile Twisted her lips as she intended to torture every one of them Yan's eyes blazed with Defiance as
he met her stare he pressed on the mystery of her Shrinking form while Airborne deepening his confusion observing the stark contrast between her former and current appearances he questioned her ability to enact revenge in her dominative form playfully mocking her appearance she attributed her inability to assume her true form to the insufficiency of his magical power her frustration boiled over as she yelled about his pathetically low manner reserves despite having drunk countless potions yam Stroked his chin and concluded that she posed no immediate threat for the time being the fake transfer of Mana revealed a
connection signifying her power to influence him he knew he would be utterly powerless if she chose to manipulate his Mana against him Mon and planed to strike Yan while his thoughts were elsewhere she abruptly ceased her movement as Yan looked behind him desperation fueled Yan's actions as he grabbed the book driven by a lack of Other choices addressing moment he then said goodbye and expressed his pleasure at having met her before returning her to her own world moment was anxious because Yen threatened to cut off her food source which would cause her to vanish to
eliminate her he then detailed his plan to decrease the Mana flow from his Mana heart which is her current Life Source Yan believed that doing so would prevent her from maintaining her cognitive form a furious glare shot from Yan's eyes as he wished her to vanish because her era had ended long ago monin greeted her teeth furious at the Injustice of her struggle for survival she was fueled by anger and refused to disappear so easily her angry shouts echoed through the arena as she vowed that he would regret her disappearance she pointed the conversation at
the Bahamut book in his hand because she knew that he craved its hidden knowledge Yan recognized the truth in her words he Deliberately cut his palm with a knife flashing in the dim light a Crimson Stain bloomed across the page as his blood drip down moment stood before him and directed his every move as he let his blood drip onto the book's Pages pulling back her hand she then gently channeled a bit of man into the blood stains on the book's page the blood on the book's page began to morph into words with a slow
and mesmerizing transformation after her spell his gaze Fixed on the book and he waited patiently for the words to materialize he started reading the words but the sentence's meaning eluded him Yan could not believe it was just meaningless scribbles because it was written by the founding Emperor a look of surprise flashed across his face as he spotted something in the book the words on the page detached themselves and started Rising into the air in a mesmerizing display Yan stared in disbelief as the Floating words were formed into a new sentence without warning the floating words
flowed into his body the words converged and started to gather within his Mana heart the words then proceeded beyond the existing man of heart resulting in the creation of a new one in a moment of utter disbelief and shock the book slipped from Yan's grasp and fell to the floor the chaos vanished replaced by an unsettling calm air and moment's gaze was one of puzzled Bewilderment at Yan's Stillness he checked his body and found no abnormalities yet the conviction remained that it had been no ordinary illusion his gaze lingered on the book and a deep
curiosity stirred as he pondered what Mysteries Bahamut had concealed Yan set off on foot with his destination uncertain Yan turned his back on the arena and Beck and M to follow him as they search for an answer his expression was vacant as he regarded Moment yet his resolve to provide her with an alternative physical Force form thereby liberating her from her parasitic state was unwavering Mona listened and they would seek a solution together a smile spread across her face as soon as she realized she'd be going with him her bubbly voice danced with curiosity as
she questioned Yan about his abrupt change in attitude with a serious expression Yan then warned her not to get her hopes up too high she Then affirmed Yan's request to maintain a conventional demeanor a Sinister smile Twisted her lips betraying her lack of genuine concern for yanan's plight a cruel plan formed in her mind that if she had sufficient Mana she would instantly dispose of of yan then a cruel smile played on her lips as she stood behind Yan unnoticed as they walked a sudden chilling decision took root in Yan's mind that he would erase
moment without delaying any further the Bickering persisted throughout their walk a quiet afternoon settle in the Forgotten old place the beauty of the sunset highlighted the abandoned place of Decay with a cool breeze that made the leaves fly a fist seemed to materialize from thin air and punch the space it was discovered that Yan had been practicing his punches in the abandoned place the speed and force of his punch created visible disturbance in the air as he continued to practice his Punches with grueling intensity he then practiced both punches and kicks with unwavering dedication non-stop
he was completely absorbed in his practice and his movements were a blur of punches and kicks waves of exhaustion crashed over him leaving him gasping for air and rooted to the spot a figure materialized before him and silently watched his training the person watching was his commander and instructor who was carefully assessing his skills a fierce Look cross Yan's face as he braced himself to strike with a sudden burst of speed Yan then attacked but the commander stood firm just awaiting the assault as he stood still a sudden burst of energy erupted from the soues
of his feet Yan's eyes widened in disbelief and narrowed into a fierce glare as he registered the Commander's actions the commander invoked his powers with a raised hand and a chanted incantation with Incredible speed his power then Transformed into a sword and he stood his ground with the sword held high he then waited patiently for Yan to close the distance with blinding speed the commander then swung his sword as Yen Drew near upon perceiving the imminent attack he defensively shielded himself with his arms the attack was imminent and he desperately shielded himself with his arms
the powerful attack had cut through the bars leaving them broken behind him a blinding light erupted from The attack behind him grew steadily brighter and brighter until its light was too intense for their eyes to Bear their settling down brought an end to the brightness the commander laughed amused that he'd almost killed him despite restraining himself yam's troubled to form the words his exhaustion evident inverted and fuming yam then angrily reiterated his earlier instruction against life-threatening moves during their practice session as The commander detailed their recent sparring Yan then straightened up and his body regained
its composure images of the books he poured over Flash before Yan's eyes as a stark reminder that without their knowledge he might have been left only with his lower body a whispered compliment about the commander made Yan turn around moment's sudden appearance and whispered praise startled Yan who then immediately tried to send her away to conserve his dwindle Mana The conversation about the Special Forces Commander stirred a feeling of recognition within moment that his Energy felt strangely familiar Yan's explanation of the Commander's lineage left moment speechless realizing he is the founding Emperor's descendant moment then
attacked the commander but only Yan could see her entirely the Commander's smile was gentle a reflection of his pleasure in the light stretching session with his Apprentice Yan listened Intently as the commander explained that the technique was the first black shadow art with a mocking tone the commander then pointed out that no training had survived to see the second technique because all of them had perished after seeing the first the Commander's glare was intense with a silent challenge as he wondered just how many of his techniques Yan could survive a smirk touched Yan's lips as
he considered the Comm Commander's assessment as the Evening deepened the commander explained that mastering all the techniques he would teach Yan would take decades adjusting his gloves Yan then assured the commander that he did not need to be concerned by the number of techniques that he teach him Yen's confident and determined expression told the commander to worry about what would happen after he had shown him all the techniques Dawn had arrived and painted the sky with the bright Hues of a new day a flurry of Attacks rained down on Yan from the commander but he
still received each one the sky opened up and showered them with rain yet their rigorous training session should no sign of ending a surge of power flowed from Yan as he prepared his assault the energy coalescing into a weapon in his grassp a grim set took his jaw Yan then stood poised and ready as he Unleashed his attack with controlled power the days blurred into a routine of training under the Commander's Tage and The time seemed to slip away unnoticed two years have flown by the announcer made a grand entrance and revealed the top 50
traines combined rankings displayed on a magnificent staircase however the latest tests showed no significant differences compared to the previous one although the trainees are working diligently to improve their positions Yan consistently maintains his top ranking meanwhile Lorina struggles to keep up and finds herself fallen Behind despite all her efforts to surpass the others Lorina cannot swallow the fact that her name is not written on the top ranking spot Yan suddenly vanished Into Thin Air after the day of the announcement of the ranking Lorina is filled with confusion as to why he is consistent in the
top rank even though he does not show up in any of their training sessions she then questioned herself about what he was doing all this time that he can train all by himself But then always comes out the best of them all Ina grips her hand in Anger as she wonders where he could possibly go after disappearing in such an event the next test has finally arrived and she is filled with determination to surpass him in the rankings she then slashes her sword beautifully while defeating a monster in her sight thinking that she can finally
be the best traine and overshadow Yan Lorina May strive for the top but Yan's hold on the helm is Immovable driven by desperation she made a desperate gamble by choosing to engage with an A- rank monster a captivating looking cat suddenly turns out to be a demonic Wicked looking long cat the monster charged at Lina with a his human-like hand so swiftly that an ordinary traine cannot dare to face it the monster's Shadow stretched across the ground as it charged forward but suddenly a flash in a blade erupted from the darkness the monster is dismembered
In a blink of an eye its parts scattering across the ground Lorita furiously waits for her next opponent fixated on the unfinished battle with Yan two years ticked by and the last test happened at the third Arena as two individuals tested their skills on each other it is revealed that the final test will be a showdown against one of the instructors themselves this was not just any ordinary test and it was a crucible as this is a trial by fire that would Determine who would be deemed worthy to join the elite ranks of the special
forces the skill and ferocity shown after the fight would be the sole Factor determining their fate the grueling training stretching over an eternity had begun to wear on the trainees leaving them bored and exhausted as the complaints rippled through the ranks Lorina then walked in the arena While others deemed the test too daunting and the test was a mere formality for her High-ranking soldiers like her could effortlessly outmaneuver even the most skilled instructors in the arena Lorina has remained undefeated for the past year with no instructor managing to overcome her it has been a long
day for all the trainees but it appears that this is a piece of cake for her and she must still participate in the test to be accepted into the special forces the test is mandatory for all traine soldiers so no one is exempt not even The most capable trainee she wonders if Yan will also have to take the test while Assuming he's likely required to participate this is Loren's opportunity to gauge Yan's true strength if he decides to take the test as her anger grows the more she waits for him suddenly a voice pleading for
Mercy to stop the fight Pierce through her thought leaving her bewildered there is a voice she hears as the instructor and realizes that the evaluation is over and Calls ABS the trainee demanding they stop fighting and finally take a seat the evaluation is completed but the trainee consumed by rage suddenly attacks the instructor with a sword the trainee extended his claws and refused to accept the fight was over believing that running away was not a victory and the battle raged on within him the one fueled by rage was cruel Dwight he is a high ranking
soldier who held the third place spot in the overall rankings he's Already consumed by his anger and insists that a true battle could only end with the death of one combatant Dwight menacingly looked at his opponent while he mocked the instructor's uniform declaring the man too weak to wear it the instructor is stunned by Dwight's disrespectful words and feels a jolt of anger before he could react Dwight then slashed at him with his sharp claws the instructor was caught completely off guard and had no time to plea for Mercy The attack was Swift and brutal
and it was too late to avoid Lina watched the whole thing with a mixture of disgust and disbelief twisting her features twi's actions in her eyes were not those of a powerful Warrior but of a desper man making a fool of himself pruple of agreement went through the audience as they witnessed Dwight's unprofessional behavior during the evaluation even a fellow high rank trainee Soldier Roman visibly recoiled and crossed his arms in Disgust thinking that Dwight is quite arrogant and entitled casha deemed the instructors pairing with the Arrogant cruel unfair and requested Roman's assistance as she
joined the arena to watch Roman's hesitation stemm from past incidents where instructors had killed low-ranking soldiers and casha perceived this as fear a claim Roman refuted Lorina ini perceived him as having a disagreeable personality but somehow he proved to be less volatile than she Anticipated he killed the instructor who had recently trained him and the grusome details were seared into her memory and she believes he's been mentally unstable for 2 years meanwhile disagreement still persists between Roman and Casher regarding the appropriate course of action concerning Dwight's Behavior with graduation looming the last thing anyone wants
is a scandal involving the powerful Dwight family while Loren's serious expression underscores this The Arena Battle was interrupted when Dwight's Fierce blow shattered the instructor's sword the instructor collapsed after a devastating blow while his shattered sword lay abandoned on the ground Dwight asserted his dominance over the instructor claiming Victory even without the use of weapons and subsequently engaged in an attack while the instructor begged for mercy with eyes shut Lorina then silently entered The Fray Conjuring icy spikes to block Dwight's path the ice spikes barring his path left him uncertain how to proceed with his
attack on the instructor Lorina wants to keep things quiet but she can't just ignore what Dwight's doing she will ensure her conduct remains Beyond reproach in relation to the Dwight family while simultaneously demonstrating exceptional skill called Beowolf Supreme technique in the Arina Lina makes sure that she doesn't make a single sound while giving a furious look At Dwight a predatory laugh escaped Dwight's lips as he bared his teeth which are pointed and sharp like a sharks at Lina Dwight is fueled by anger making him really want to teach her a lesson before graduation and he
sees this as an opportunity to raise his ranking his glowing eyes held a Sinister light as he bellowed Loren's name leaving no doubt this was her ultimate test the sun shines in the arena and the fight between Lorina and cruel Dwight Continues he's criticized by Lorina for his lack of challenging opponents and she asserts her own Superior strength and willingness to engage in a tougher fight Dwight Chuckles his face partially hidden dismissing her confident attitude as typical arrogance Lina watched Dwight laugh then a growing unease settled over her as she sensed the escalating death energy
emanating from him while smiling menacingly Dwight then makes sure to humiliate and wipe her from existence During this fight Loren prepares for battle weapons at the ready but twight Superior claw based fighting style quickly proves decisive and she even gives him a chance to use a sword as a gesture of Mercy the two locked in a desperate struggle and the air filled with the deadly dance of their weapons while their every strike illuminated the arena as casha and Roman observed the evenly matched combatants Roman felt a shift in momentum believing that Lorina Was now in
the lead Roman is observing carefully and concludes that Dwight will struggle to close the gap within the next 30 moves while casha agrees and hopes that is the case they notice cruel is giving off a strange energy unlike any anything seen before from either the special forces's dark shadow arts or the Dwight family's techniques kaser realized that the energy really wanted him to kill his opponents unlike Loren's technique Roman's teasing response to Casha reignited their argument about their respective positions a disagreement persists regarding the importance of the third place ranking for them Roman suddenly revealed
Cash's Dirty Secrets during their dispute he stated that she created private organization of commoners and Countryside Nobles and Roman sees it as a fan club rather than a private organization casha then also revealed Roman Secret secrets she uncovered that Roman is secretly recruiting trainees who are slaves and creating an army out of it her intense curiosity about Roman's personal matters annoyed him and yet he leaned closer to her just as their argument was about to reach a boiling point suddenly a voice of the defeated cut through the tension Dwight's defeat brought relief to casha and
Roman while a sword pressed against his throat sealed his fate loran's victory over Dwight serve as a harsh Lesson that pretending to be Invincible can lead to devastating consequences and to be humble at all times despite his outward agreement a nagging doubt and a dark entity whispered that he was destined to fail again leaving him stunned the dark entity laughs as it manipulates him into believing that allowing anyone else to succeed would result in the complete loss of everything he possessed he was reminded by the dark entity that while he lost Everything fighting and conquering
all would restore his former wealth and power the dark entity that previously Unleashed Dwight's savagery has returned making him overwhelmed once more another burst of laughter from Dwight left Lorina staring at him a mixture of confusion about what brazal he was talking about and perhaps a of annoyance on her face the resolve Dwight is talking about is to kill himself and then impale his own neck against Loren's Already pointed sword leaving her horrified he was driven to such Desperate Measures because losing everything was Unthinkable and death seemed preferable Dwight's suicide attempt sent Larina into a
panic instantly followed by a brutal ambush from the dark entity that had consumed him his assault fueled by the dark entity was so powerful it sent Lorina flying and left her unconscious with Arena's life hanging in the Balan white Raised his weapon for the final and decisive blow but before it could land a new entity appeared its presence abruptly halting Dwight's attack with a startling transformation the new entity became a black wolf after deflecting the attack and plunging him into a state of utter confusion the entire scene unfolded before casha and Roman's eyes the sound
that followed a wolf's howl sent a jolt of unexpected recognition through them a wolf transformed into a Man just in time to prevent Loren's fall after she lost Consciousness the man was none other than Yan Yan's unexpected appearance continued to Astound everyone injured Lina awakened in Yan's arms she was taken back by the help she received from the man she was competing against Dwight viewed the situation as a chance to face stronger competition following his demonstration of ability but Yan offered no response and simply stood silently under the watchful guidance of His black ghost wolf
Yan gave Lorena a chance to rest Dwight still gave that creepy look and Y noticed he hadn't changed one bit in two years moan displayed an interest in Dwight not withstanding the latter's Demonic influence and Yan also agreed with her they both caught a glimpse of the Demonic dark entity that influenced Dwight and it was now their chance to fight it before the Demonic entity became stronger and Dwight eventually Became a demonic human Dwight laughed at them and looked at them with his Illuminating creepy eyes while they were still observing then he suddenly leaped and
attacked Yan with a surprise Yan was concerned about Dwight's future and warned him that he would regret this if he attacked with his sharp claws the impending confrontation between Dwight and Yan was abruptly halted by an unexpected voice calling for silence that voice mocked Dwight from being Arrogant in the past 2 years he felt that familiar energy from the man who disrupted their fight and that mysterious man was going to make the final announcement the man was none other than the instructor Commander himself the instructor Commander looked at them with his Sinister eyes and told
them that it was such a waste of time to die right before their last day the sun was finally about to set and the walls of the Arena stood tall the instructor Commander congratulated them for surviving up until now as he stood on the Upper Floor of the Arena he announced that the batch started with 10,000 trainees and there were only 20000 left during this period the 200 trainees stood strong in front of the instructor commander and he thought that those who were left were a decent result the commander also announced that their strength and
skills made up 50% of their final evaluation while the remaining 50% Was based on their Mana estimation the instructor Commander happily announced that they were no longer trainee soldiers and deserve to be called something other than a traine number they now have the right to be Knights of the Empire as full-fledged Knights the Empire Knights are people who are able to control Mana there are a total of 10 ranks to measure how strong the knights are within the Empire Rank 10 is a knight who has learned how to use Mana Rank nine is a rank
that possesses an energy core or Circle rank Knights are able to resonate with their sword's name and rank seven Knights are able to manifest energy onto items rank six Knights are able to imute energy onto a sword or their body and rank five are Knights who are able to focus their sword Aura into a sword blast the fourth rank consists of knights who are able to use an enhanced sword Aura the instructor Commander finally wrapped Things up and the results of the evaluation would be announced he also finally announced the training with the highest overall
evaluation which was Yan as the ceiling of the academy stood High inside the hall Yan's M rank was announced his rank was the upper rank training's accommodation and it had been 2 years since he had a decent accommodation Mona then politely asks what that night rank is all about and Yan is quite disappointed by her lack of Intelligence about ranks Yan briefly explains that those ranks did not exist a thousand years ago and they have given a rank to the knights like a circle of magic he also included that most of the trainings would only
reach rank seven or eight while a flashback of the previous trainings is shown though the rank does not look high they are still at a level where they are capable of taking out most demium monsters Lorina and the other three are the that belong to rank Six there are very few people within the training center who can defeat the four of them and to become rank six at their age means they are El lights among the elites while Yan is explaining Lorina suddenly walks in and notices he has changed a lot after those two years
Lorina greeted Yan and also notice his hair and groan very long as they looked into each other's eyes Yan suddenly said that Lorina has grown a little shorter and an awkward silence occurred Lorina Thanked Yan for saving her from the fight after that silence and Yan told her that there's nothing to worry about Yan worries about the injuries she received early in her fight with twight Loren's anger erupted unexpectedly and she was upset by his earlier involvement in their battle Yan is visibly confused at that point Lorina points out that he is in the fifth
rank but it doesn't mean that he needs to help her and rank is just a rank the Empire is ranked five is The people who are about to attain enhan sword Aura and most Knights can only dream of it although there are some rank Five Knights within the Empire the only person who's achieved rank five is the current Crown Prince Leon with his Dragon entity by his side she proceeds to leave while teasing how ugly his hair looked that day and moment bursts into laughter as Yan notices that she is so easily angered Lina knew
that she had done something Shameless as she recalled Her brother is a rank five which is a testament to skill not age she does not want to admit that he is better than her brother and she knew it was childish moment is still bewilder that being in rank five is such a big deal for everyone as Yan looks at his hair and notices that it is indeed a little too long she said that Yan no longer has to hide his strength if he did show everyone his true potential then he could exceed rank five but
hiding this Much power and skill is perfect for now to blend in with other Knights Yen Smiles because his plan is to get mus gathering around him like how they are attracted to Flame as the sunlight brightens the dark staircases of the training center the instructor commander and the senior instructor walk to the wide red carpet the commander is too much in favor of yan and thinks that the other trainees must be discouraged because of him he's also impressed by The black wolf that Yan has been carrying around and the black shadow Sword Art he
uses but another instructor notices the instructor Commander's Behavior the senior instructor confronted the commander saying that favoring only Yan will rup the order within the training center the instructor Commander seems unsatisfied with the senior instructor's confrontation and he questions that since he became a senior he's become Fearless the senior instructor apologizes and obeys the Commander's orders he thinks that it is hard for them to trust the Judgment of the instructor Commander the senior Commander decides to take care of yan with his own hands in the dark room where the doors are shut and the chandelier
reflects the sunlight from the window Yan is having a peaceful rest in his bed in the dark corners of the room as his face looks toward the sunlet Window while sleeping his coat is widely open suddenly there is a silhouette that appears before his face and looks at him with an ominous look while quietly laughing there was moment standing above him whose goal was to take over Yan's body while he was asleep she's been Gathering her strength and waited 2 years for this opportunity to take over his body thinking that Yan must have forgotten it
with an ominous look towards him while casting a spell she Plans to brainwash him first she cast a spell called mindbreaker and slowly begins to brainwash Yan she won't rush and bit by bit she will eventually take control over his body while she is complacent that she will finally take over Yen's body he wakes up Suddenly Yen looks at her with his eyes furiously and his black wolf is ready to bite her any time at her back woman laughs awkwardly and says she was only trying to test his Mana is circulating very well Yan Obviously
did not believe her he wared that if she did this again he would turn her into dust she is furious because Yan keeps delaying his promise of getting moment her body back while they are arguing a knock on the door suddenly can be heard leaving them both speechless the person outside who is knocking is looking for yan yan is confused as to why anyone would knock at his door late at night but he opened it anyway he opens the door and finds a senior Instructor alone in the dark saying that the instructor Commander is looking
for him the instructor ordered Yan to follow him while giving him an aggressive look then the senior instructor brought Yan into the dark shopping Alleyway every shop was closed and everywhere you looked there was Darkness they proceeded to walk into the darkness of a shopping Alleyway and Yan asked why the instructor Commander was looking for him he also asked why he wanted to meet him In this place late at night while the tests were already over the instructor acted like he did not hear any of his questions y finally asked the instructor if the instructor
Commander really wanted to meet him then the instructor suddenly drew a shi hidden beneath his sleeve and stabbed it backward as hard as he could he was nowhere to be found when he leaned back to his surprise Yan moved so rapidly that he outpaced the instructor he had no time to react when Yam performed the seventh form of the Dark Soul called the 1-in punch sending him flying senior instructor Zach looked defeated at that point from Yan's effortless punch he immediately asked Yan why he already knew this was a trap that he set up Yan
already knew his intention to kill him in the alleyway and mock the instructor for his cover training making the senior instructor clearly offended he realized that the sword Zach was holding emitted a crimson Colored sworn energy and the only people capable of using that sword energy are senior instructors Yen asked calmly if the instructor Commander knew about his actions and if he was ready for the consequences of what he was doing right now senior instructor Zach kept getting irritated at him and found Yan's arrogance unwarranted given his recent promotion to the fifth rank out of
nowhere three senior instructors appeared behind him with the intent to Kill him and smiled at them knowing he could defeat them all at once in shocking turn of events he then fell into feet after he confidently thought to himself that he would win against them moment asked him what he was doing out of confusion but Yan told her to keep her mouth shut Yan begged the instructors asking why they were doing this to him while his body was tied the other senior instructors were in a hurry to end him and leave the alleyway Immediately while
Yan still asked what the reason was for killing him senior instructor Zach stood in front of him quietly he finally reveal the reason why they were planning to kill Yan a recollection from two years prior intruded upon his present consciousness and you remember Yan facilitating The Escape of several trainees an act that resulted in the death of his brother who was an instructor at the facility consequently he was driven by a profound Need for revenge and Zach had been waiting so long for this day to come he would kill yen to appease his brother's Soul
zap was about to slash his sword against Yan but his companion who turned out to be the black wolf bit the blade the wolf prevented the senior instructor from attacking Yan with his sword then the wolf used the black shadow Sword Art called materialization that caused the senior instructor to be pushed back and the sword turned into a lump of paper Yan felt utterly sorry for his brother as they both fought to survive and there was no grudge involved he also said that they were the ones who taught them to do that and it was
hard to believe that the instructors were mobilized just from a personal Grudge Zach had his own suspicions about what really happened so he did not believe Yan's story Yan then labeled those senior instructors as Rebels while giving them a gaze of hatred in his eyes a continent-wide Revolt is now a memory viewed from yam's retrospective the war United a mly collection of rebels under the banner of a revolutionary Army the rebel Army known as the Crimson revolutionaries derived their name from The Crimson Aura emanating from their swords Blood Stained their swords as their dark red
Aura fueled by their own blood has always foreshadow the bloody outcome of every battle the Crimson revolution's fighting style is a refined art passed Down from its founder and was potentially even more destructive in the hands of the skilled peer however its blood-c consuming nature proved to be a significant drawback the Crimson revolutionaries countered the technique's blood consumption by absorbing blood themselves Yen's flashback back ends and he finds himself confronting the rebels imminent attack his sharp gaze swept over the rebels as he suspected who was The Mastermind Pulling the strings a furious Rebel fixed Yan
with an angry stare their anger continued to escalate as they talked to each other a grim threat born of pure Fury escaped his gritted teeth as his face Twisted with rage then promised Yan a slow and agonizing death the rebel leader directed his subordinates to commence the Crimson Revolution Yan patiently bed his time their attack confirming his belief that they were indeed Rebels a magical red Aura began to emanate from the Rebel's swords with blinding Speed The Rebel then launched his attack against Yan three Rebels converged on Yan their blades flashing as he stood defiant
facing three rank five Rebels wielding the Crimson Revolution Yan then knew that he had to fight seriously Yan starts to unleash the fury of his powers called a black wolf that is materialized before him a powerful Aura enveloped his hands as his technique took hold a Lethal look in his eyes as Yan watched them The Dread slash technique fully charged and ready to unleash his power the rebel stared in disbelief at the power Yan had unleashed the technique identical to the instructor Commander's dread slash is a fact that left him reeling and considering Yan's youth
Yan gathered his strength and his attack was imminent with hands raised High Yan then poised himself to strike as the rebels attacked in Mass Yan then Unleashed his Most powerful attack the clash of the slash attack and the rebels resulted in an explosion of Darkness a colossal Black slash ripped across the sky its power briefly visible in all of them before Vanishing the sheer shock of what had transpired left the bloody Rebel leader speed speechless and immobile a single swing of Yen's sword sent the rebels sprawling their blood and lifeless bodies on the ground Yen's
single strike had achieved The Impossible leaving the rebel leader utterly dumbfounded and baffled the raw power emanating from yam was a terrifying spectacle that reduced the rebel to a screaming terrified figure who branded him a monster pain twisted his accusations as he confronted Yan with his suspicions of Imperial treachery burning bright a storm of Fury and fear raged within him as he wondered how Yan had uncovered their secret and if their Commander was already aware a Fresh wave of Agony washed over the rebel as Yan's presence loomed over his cut off and bloody legs the
life or death decision hung in the air as he withdrew an object from his coat with his offer of Mercy conditional upon the Rebel's answers with a careful hand he then opened the pendant and its mysterious Insignia left a silent question hanging between him and the rebel a gasp escaped his lips as his eyes widened and took in the shocking Contents of the pendant intrigued by the Insignia he then pondered its unexpected location within the pendant in a terrifying display of strength yam then snatched him up and held him aoft and he became a helpless
figure in the air Yan's interrogation was a Relentless storm of questions about the Insignia each unanswered query fueling his pursuit of the truth as the rebel spoke a sudden grotesque swelling erupted on his face a silent Testament to some Unseen Force the sight of his face was a horrifying shock to Yan the swelling and bumps on his face multiplied as he spoke of the Insignia a disturbing visual accompaniment to his words a violent explosion ripped through the air and showered the surroundings in blood the Rebel's head had literally blown apart when Yan released him leaving
a headless body and a chilling question of suicide in Yan's mind moan and's sudden arrival brought a possible explanation that the Explosion was the result of a magical restraint placed upon the rebel she then explained that mentioning a specific word would trigger the magic that caused an explosion and killed the person it was placed on she also proudly admitted she'd attempted to place the same restriction on Yan Yan's eyes fell upon the Fallen Rebel his lifeless form Stark reminder of the violence a growing unease SED over him as he realized the Insignia link the commander
the rebels And even his own parents he immediately set off determined to inform the instructor commander of his findings without delay moment and Yan continued discussing the possibility that the instructor Commander had sent the rebels a serious look settled on Yan's face as he reaffirmed his conviction that the commander was not after him he turned to find the commander behind him and wondered if he'd sent the rebels to kill him a derisive scoff escaped the Commander's lips as he dismissed his suspicions he argued that a teacher would never instruct their Apprentice to murder their own
subordinates the commander recalled that one of his subordinates had been disrespectful recently and that they needed to be disciplined with a final farewell they then prepared for the mission's commencement the following day Yan remained silent with his gaze fixed on the commander as the latter instructed Him to rest as he left the commander then warned Yan that he'd have his hands full with what was coming at midday a dense fog hung heavy over the silent Pine Forest a powerful steam engine roared breaking the Stillness as a train surged forward with breathtaking speed that was the
Continental train heading towards the Northern beol Territory the gentle warmth of the sun contrasted sharply with the fierce wind wind's howl outside the train window the speeding Train caused the luggage to Rattle violently inside inside the passenger cabin a conductor checked the tickets of the passengers making sure that there were no fair evaders the train conductor then asked Yan for the ticket he found the ticket beneath his black coat and asked for a moment Yan proceeded to give the ticket to the train conductor and he could now enjoy the ride after his ticket was confirmed
the sun illuminated the brown wood of the Train's Hall cabin The tests were finally over Yen thought he had been sent to the Northern beol Territory to have a Leisure train trip then he suddenly doubted such a thing he was sent to that territory for a reason and it was an important Mission the traines that survived the tests had become official Special Forces members while Yan and others were deployed for their first missions immediately they were deployed into four battlefields with the Empire as the center casha and 80 plus of her followers went to the
east which shares a border with the land of Undead and wraiths when a hand of the undead suddenly emerged behind casha Roman and 50 plus people under him were deployed to the west where strange phenomena and monsters appeared as they looked to the dunes of the vast desert in that region 60 plus members that belonged to the higher ranks were deployed to the stormy South where Pirates and tornadoes appeared as the High ranked soldiers found themselves going through the large waves of the ocean the north where the lands are frozen and the borders are shared
with the barbarians territory this is where Yan and three other members were deployed only a very small number of people volunteered to be assigned to the north is because the cold there is said to be able to freeze even the mightiest dragons Yan prefer going alone without many people volunteering with him he Looked disgusted by the combination of members the members consisted of cruel Ru and Lorina with a knight rank of six and cherl who was a rank eight Knight Yan thought they would become pains in the ass later on that mission kruel asked Lorina
if she was following him to get revenge by trampling all over him Lorina acted like she did not hear any of his words and cruel was mad about it cherell advised cruel to shut his hurtful mouth towards her cruel thought That cherl was just a maid of Lina at this point then she introduced herself and said that she'd been working with Lorina ever since the blade mountain ranges after Lorina saved her she then decided that she would go where Lorina goes and no one had ever stepped in like that before for her then Cheryl thought
that Lorina was quite annoying by his behavior and cruel was still mad after she said that Yan was also annoyed at everyone thinking that he wouldn't be Able to travel quietly well with them cruel Dwight did not actually care about Lorina and there was only one reason he decided to go north his intent was to kill Yan he then gave Yan an aggressive gaze while he was taking a nap he just hated the sight of yan from their first meeting as a memory overwhelmed him of his defeat after battling with him Yan always got in
his way and humiliated cruel now this was cruel Dwight's chance to kill Yan since they were now outside The training center premises he was starting to be insane again as he drew his knife slightly visible his eyes suddenly looked evil while imagining Yan's death then Yan looked at him menacingly and knew what cruel's intentions were he got scared of Yan's stare which left him sweating and got punched by him because of his behavior the railroad screeches as the train continues to head toward the north Lorina stares outside the Train's window Without saying a word and
she sees her hometown thinking that she never thought she'd go back this soon she then remembers how she got exiled from her hometown and how she left the territory without even turning back a single time Lorina has not heard anything about her brother and she cannot go back like this after she left her hometown she's trying to put herself back together and fighting back her tears Yan notices that Lorina has not spoken a word all this Time he guesses that she is not happy about going back to her hometown Yan has shocking news for Lorina
hoping that even she will get surprised as he stares at her with a smile they will reach avalan soon as the sunlight disappears inside the passenger cabin of the train yanon suddenly hears a voice in the back leaving him bewildered it turns out that the imperial adviser really wants to drop by even though Avalon is near another man confronted the advisor Stating that the Crown Prince will be disappointed and he cannot just drop by while the train is moving according to the Imperial adviser the crown Prince's academic studies are already finished and there is nothing
else to teach him anyway that's why he chose to go north that old man is actually Imperial advisor Hugo he is the teacher of the emperor and the Crown Prince and he is also known as the brains of the Empire Yan is glad to meet such a noble Individual he was a commander who knew no magic or martial arts but he still became a respected great person of the Empire with academics and philosophy even the emperor recognized him and bestowed the title a count to him who was a commander back then he was magnificent even
in his last moments the fitting the titles given to him in Yan's past life the Imperial adviser kept advising the emperor while bleeding and crying for three days and nights due to His loyalty to the Empire he then gets rewarded by the emperor by giving him death however that will only happen later in the future but not for now the conductor apologized for causing discomfort to the Imperial adviser then the train management prepared a private room only for the brains of the Empire himself Yan nises their exchange but stays silent as both of them head
toward the private room Yan stares quietly and notices a hand signal done by the Conductor it's a sign language meant to be sent to other people on his team the message he reads is that the train is passing through a tunnel and when that happens it is time for them to assassinate the Imperial adviser Yan smirks say he has been waiting for this opportunity to come for so long he then recalls the advisor's personality which is that he is loyal to the people of the Empire and not the emperor and so the Revolutionary Army deemed
him a nuisance To their plans so they decided to kidnap him he knew that these people were the Revolutionary Army since the sign language they perform is done only by the Revolutionary Army the conductor then announces that they would be making a brief stop in the tunnel due to a technical issue and prompts the passengers to remain in their seats Yan has been waiting for this chance to rescue the Imperial adviser and build a connection with him he then calls Attention to the subordinates and states that he will be conversing via frequency transmission from now
on Yan explains that the train has been taken over by the enemy and in an hour's time time when the train enters the tunnel the enemies will Ambush one of the VIPs on the train he adds that the enemies are disguised as train crew members and that there is also a chance that some of them are disguised as passengers cruell interrupts his plan saying that they Haven't even received their mission yet so there is no reason for him to listen to his plan due to that he gets punched in the face which promptly silences him
and so Yan continues on and asks if anybody else has a question theen states that it is hard for her to suddenly take in everything he has just said so she asks where he got his information Yen explains exps that the commander had instructed him privately about it which is also the reason he chose to go to the North Loren seems to believe his explanation so she now asks if he knows who their enemies are Yan tells him that he doesn't know their exact numbers but he knows who they are he reveals that they are
part of the Revolutionary Army which sends Lina into shock possibly hinting that she has unfinished business with the bunch time passes and the snowstorm gets stronger by the second the train continues to move through despite the strong snow inside the Train The guards are talking about the passengers they have put to sleep with their sleeping incense so now they can slowly take over the carriage one of the guards worry is that there are special forces among the passengers but suddenly a voice from behind the guard asks why crew members need weapons which sends a chill
down his spine luren then attacks the enemy from above with her sword as the enemy panics wondering who she was her attack manages to cut the enemy's Sword in half and strike his torso the other enemies are horrified at the sight of their comrade being attacked they also realize that the wounds she inflicted have now Frozen up and dealt their comrade a great deal of pain the enemies see that her sword is bursting with cold energy which leads them to a conclusion they realize that their enemy is part of the beol family the opposing forces
stand off inside the train Lorina states that Yan was indeed right to Which the enemy cuts her off saying that he knew there were Special Forces on the train but he didn't expect that there would be a bolf they then get excited at the prospect of getting a promotion if they managed to get the bounty on her head Loren's face darkens with anger as she questions them she asks what do they know what the Revolutionary Army has done to the beol family Lorina tells them that the reason her brother disappeared is due to him leaving
their Home town to join the special forces in order to hunt down the Revolutionary Army but now they have shown themselves in front of her which brought her great joy now that she can enact her revenge on them though the enemy doesn't seem to be threatened and simply laughs as their swords glow with an ominous red Aura the enemy then returns her question back to her and asks her if she knows what her family has done he furiously explains that her family had been wallowing in Their riches while his family survived by eating rotten trash
despite her family causing their situation luren responds while preparing her attack saying that her household walks the path of protecting the North and the Empire and if they make her family an enemy then that means they are the enemy themselves that threaten the North and the Empire The Glass surrounding the train cart all shatters following her devastating attack reinforcements try to Reach the cart where Lorina is fighting but something stops them in their way cruell is the one blocking their way who also states that he is looking for someone to unleash his anger on their
fight then starts under the strong blizzard outside the cart the aftermath of their fight is bloody as the enemies are now amputated cruell also states that he likes the feel of the sword he took from the Imperial Vault he also refresh after seeing some blood after Such a long time given how he is a blood crazed Maniac his eyes then sharpen as he proclaims that Yan will be next on his list outside the train moment informs Yan that she senses Mana from the next Carriage she also tells him that he shouldn't call her for useless
stuff like detecting enemies Mana Yan responds saying that she has to earn her keep as M floats above him in the air he then starts his operation to sa the Imperial adviser from the Revolutionary Army our video ends here if you like it subscribe to the channel see you next time bye-bye
