Chapter 44: Push Back!

Darius was born left-handed, but ever since he’d started using his hammer to strike the anvil, that aspect of him had changed. When he had started, his left hand would often get tired, so he had developed the habit of occasionally switching arms. This had resulted in him having good control over both arms. This had not been intended by …

Chapter 43: Second Ability!

‘This kid sure is something.’ All of the so-called ‘experts’ observing the test couldn’t help but swallow their saliva. Darius had done something that had truly impressed them quite a bit. ‘There’s no doubt about it: he created a pseudo-Domain!’ Kylian, Donald, the emperor, James, Peter, Morgan, Katya, and all the other powerhouses saw exactly what had happened despite the …

Chapter 42: A Plan, A Man, A Flag

‘When I give the signal, sprint toward me. Then, I’ll launch you toward the flag.’ In essence, that was the plan that Darius had shared with Lara. It wasn’t much of a plan to her, but her hands were tied in this situation. Success or defeat: there were only these two options, nothing else. She had faced a choice between …

Chapter 41: Pendulum Hammer!

With a calm and steady swagger, Darius emerged from the bushes into the clearing, instantly gaining the attention of his foes. Before he had restrained his bloodlust, but the moment he appeared before his enemies, he let loose, making his presence known. The moment he released his bloodlust, the wolves collectively howled while the vulture cawed, soaring into the sky, …

Chapter 40: A Plan

The two-star spirit guarded the flag as if it were guarding a precious treasure. It was a large bird that resembled a vulture. It had an ugly appearance accompanied by the hollow eyes that every spirit had. From time to time, it would warily gaze at its surroundings, seemingly waiting for something. The environment was filled with jagged rocks jutting …

Chapter 39: Setting out Power Dynamics

Lara could not help but be shocked for a moment. She had not expected him to answer her in such a normal way. For some odd reason, she had half expected him to do or say something crazy while also guessing that he would completely ignore her. Either way, she was happy with the current outcome. She quickly gathered her …

Chapter 38: Dangerous Spirits

Kylian and Donald were seated in their private booth, preparing to observe the fourth test. “The first three tests were rather straightforward and fit what you’d usually expect from beginners, but for some reason, someone with an incredibly high clearance managed to throw in two more tests. You know what that means, right, Buddy?” Donald’s chuckle echoed through the room. …

Chapter 37: Fourth Test

Darius enjoyed the conversation with her quite a bit, almost reaching the point that he fully immersed himself within it. However, Darius was, after all, Darius. In the deep recesses of his mind, he kept asking himself the same questions. ‘Why is she being so friendly to me? What’s her objective?’ Due to his past experiences, and his recent incident …

Chapter 36: A conversation

Darius was messing around with multiple thoughts when several footsteps caught his attention. ‘Hhm?’ He looked up to see Lara walking toward him. ‘Wow, she is really hot.’ Her luscious curves and short black her were right in Darius’s hot spot. Granted, he had never previously even communicated with a woman of the opposite sex who he was attracted to, …

Chapter 35: Controlled Skill

“The test has ended. Please rest for a few hours. The second test will begin soon,” An emotionless voice resounded throughout the field. The test had ended as soon as Darius had taken the worm’s life. They were then teleported from the test site to what seemed like a resting room with luxurious chairs and refreshments. It even had boxes …
