Chapter 4: Evolution
In a vast red desert covered with a dark veil, William was resting while surrounded by 40 skeletons. It had been 3 days since William got the system and now he belongs to Rank (F +) with his strength alone.
In 3 days he reached a level previously unattainable without ten years of training. If he returns to his village now he could acquire the status of soldier. This status is extremely precious because in his village of 10,000 inhabitants only 100 people have this honor.
These 100 people have all reached rank F + and represent the main defense force against monsters. it is a job that requires courage and strength and only those who have reached the top of rank F are eligible.
Due to the limited places a competition is organized regularly. In this competition those who want to become a soldier must prove their qualifications through various tests to finally have the chance to challenge one of the active soldiers.
If the soldier loses then he will have to give up his place to the winner. As a result the 100 soldiers are also the strongest 100 people in the villages and they are all admired by all the villagers.

William obviously abandoned the swordsman skeletons because they are too weak in front of the warrior and lancer skeletons.
During these 3 days William has known many battles. These continuous battles of life and death have already completely changed his temper.
Even a veteran soldier will take this 16 year old seriously. The little William of 1.65m from 3 days ago is now 1.8m.
He is dressed in a sweatshirt and completely ripped black jeans. You can even see her impressive abs through the tears in the sweatshirt.
"I should be able to face it now" thought William.
On the 2nd day in this hell, William noticed a huge red dot on his mini-map. Out of curiosity and excitement to have finally met a boss, William accompanied by his legion went directly to meet this monster.
Result? A massacre.
The boss looking like a simple swordsman skeleton slaughtered his way straight to William before beheading him in one fell swoop.
Fortunately his race has become a player, so William is completely immortal in his "video game". However the death was very painful and William had to wait an hour in a dark place with no ability to move around, he almost went mad, thinking he was going to stay there forever.
Although William reappeared in another place in Hell, accompanied by the rest of his army, he could not feel any sense of happiness, all that was left in his head was the thought of getting stronger and not going through this anymore. kind of humiliation.
His current temperament is the result of this experience.
After a few hours of searching, William met the boss again.

Tip: One of the 3 main disciples of a master swordsman who dominated the world 50,000 years ago.
"It looks like I'm going to meet an uphill battle…" William said in a calm voice.
As William readied himself for the fight, even he was starting to feel nervous about the swordsman's momentum, he felt like all his bones were going to be smashed to bits. Even standing is hard.
Seeing his army without any reaction, William began to envy his subordinates. After a few seconds of face to face, the master swordsman suddenly took a step forward and he suddenly appeared in front of a skeleton warrior and before the blur of the sword could even be seen the warrior was split horizontally. Even William wasn't sure he could block this blow.
"You can't beat this monster without sacrificing all my soldiers," William analyzed. Therefore he ordered all his skeletons to surround the enemies. In less than 3 seconds, the master swordsman and his disciples were surrounded by 40 skeletons.
"Go kill them," at William's command, the 40 skeletons charged without caring about their own defense. The master and his disciples reacted quickly, they charged directly towards the 4 ends of the encirclement in order to use their advantage to the maximum in agility.
Their reaction was tremendous, without being hit they managed to kill 15 skeletons in 10 seconds. The scariest one being the master swordsman who has kill 12, the rest can barely kill 1 each.
However, the objective of the encirclement has reached its objective because the disciples only have 10% of their HP left and they have no way of escaping. At this moment a dreadful aura emanated from the master swordsman.
Ding
Danger, danger ...
[The master skeleton swordsman has triggered his secret skill ...]
[May my soul be burnt and my body strengthened.]
* Boom *
His aura reached such an intensity that all the skeletons were pushed back 5 meters. William who was tens of meters away also felt a force trying to push him back but William remained stable like a mountain.

Current Status: The skill [Let my soul be burnt and my body strengthened] is activated.
Effect: The physical statistics of the master swordsman are doubled but in return he loses 5% of health every second. When the skill is deactivated, its owner has their stats drop by 50% for 10 minutes.
"It was sure, how could a boss have no secret skills?" But even I find it astonishing that his instincts kicked in at that point. Even if it's a rank (E), its memory should still be in a sealed state normally.
It would seem that he really had to care about his followers back then so that even in death his feelings didn't totally disappear, it's really amazing.
But in any case it plays to my advantage, if he had done everything to escape I could not have stopped him and therefore my army would have been killed just for 3 swordsman. I could even have died still if he activated his skill at a critical time.
The thought made an extremely solemn face appear on his face, even with a trace of fear.
The horror of death deeply affected William.
"But now the victory is in my favor, my skeletons just have to block it for 20 seconds" William thought quickly.
But thought and reality are still very different, with his speed going to 110m / s or nearly 400 km / h as well as his attack speed doubled, William's skeletons are just pigs about to be beaten down.
The master swordsman can easily block all attacks arriving on these disciples and at the same time counterattack. In less than 2 seconds, 3 warriors and 1 spearmen are all killed with a single sword blow. Now there are only 21 skeletons left on William's side. To win there is only one solution.
"Let all the skeletons listen to me! I order you to flee in all directions! William's voice was gradually fading as he was already hundreds of yards from the battlefield.
The master swordsman seeing William's intention began to hunt all the leaking skeletons. 19 seconds later, the battlefield was filled as far as the eye could see with various bones in the human body. As the master swordsman had just deactivated his skill next to his 3 disciples, he saw a human figure that gave off an extremely dark aura and which, in terms of power, was not inferior to his at the start of the fight. Indeed when the entire army was wiped out William received a new notification from the system.

A huge source of energy poured into William's body, but he ignored it as his judgment clouded with anger.
Walking slowly at first, William quickly picked up his speed, until he became a fuzzy figure who moved extremely towards the 4 swordsmen.
First he ejected with a single kick the master swordsman who flew a few meters high by at least twenty meters. While the master swordsman was in the air, William quickly took care of the 3 disciples.

William completely ignored the notifications appearing in front of him as he appeared just above the master swordsman and punched the master swordsman in the chest, the master swordsman quickly positioned his sword to block the punch, but was completely useless as the punch landing on the chest bones created a shock wave.
The master swordsman instantly fell to the ground as the collision created a huge blast of sand and a number appeared above the master swordsman.
-200
The punch combined with the inertia and the collision with the sand gave completely unimaginable damage for the William of a few seconds ago.
