'yes! i have found a crack!'
looking at the trembling eyes of Eleanor i could see that i have made a small progress, if i could capitalize on this now I might be able to convert her feelings
'my trainings paid off'
during the past year not only have i increased my strength i have also increased my a ability to spew bullshit, i racked through my brain thinking about the different wuxia novels and their hot blooded words
and i can say with almost confidence that my 'dao of bullshit' has reached another level, i turned towards Eleanor who was still tied to my back
"don't worry teacher, just leave it to me"
saying so i looked through my surroundings, trying to find a safe spot to fight, looking around i could see an elevated platform, just perfect to defend from all sides
i ran towards that area and i slowly removed the binds connecting me and Eleanor, as gently as i could i held her and placed her on the ground, making sure that the way she sits is comfortable
i made sure to do all of my actions gently as possible, treating like a jade that would break, during all this time Eleanor just looked at me in daze not able to respond
making sure that she sat up correctly i kneeled in front of her catching her hand i gave her a iconic 'protagonist' smile
"don't worry teacher i will save you, just wait for me"
after saying that i rose up and left to fight without looking back, walking a bit forward i moved away from Eleanor
standing a bit far away i could see monster tides coming from both my sides, the demon above was laughing in happiness
"Ha..didn't i say you that you would feel despair!, now see how you are going to die"
i just concluded his laughter has background music, taking a deep breath i started to think about my next source of action
while thinks might look bad, i have many way to guarantee both mine and Eleanor's safety, the problem is which method should i use to gain the most affection
i can use my full strength and fight the upcoming waves to a standstill or i can exert just enough strength to survive the tide earning more affection
if worst comes i have 2 tokens given to me by 2 different dragons who are more than capable of saving me but even that has it's own drawback and risks
'what should i do?'
screw it i would go for more affection points!, making my decision i took my bow out, i placed a sword at my back and hid a few knifes in my dress
'ok, time to take action'
being ready i felt the ground shake the monsters we left behind and the new tide joined together rushing to devour those in it's path, it looked af if tide had formed
i stood calm at this situation, without any hesitation i applied the tier 5 spell {earth quake}, which caused great tremors to spread outward towards the monsters, the ground before the running tide cracked , causing many of them to fall, the ones that fell were stepped on and killed
"{magmic rise}!"
instantly the cracks which were formed started spewing magma from between them drowning a huge amount of monsters, all that was heard was their scream before their deaths
without any delay i placed a normal arrow on my bow, casting {meteoric fall} i fired the arrow, the arrow flew straight into the frontier of those monsters
at the time the arrow split into hundreds but that was not the end, the arrows which split quickly transformed into huge blazing rocks that fell onto the monsters
i immediately fired 4 such arrows stopping the monsters rush for a few seconds, within that time i concentrated 2/3 rd of my mana and started casting
this spell would require atleast a 5 second cast time, as i continued to cast the monsters that were blocked by the huge flaming rocks continued to pound at them creating cracks
the falme burned their skin but when one died another took it's place, just as the 5 second mark completed the monsters surged to me again
"{worlds crack}!"
i quickly applied my spell, the mana in the surrounding blazed as it moved towards me due to applying a high tier level 5 spell, the mana that surrounded me flew to the ground
as it did the the ground split up, a huge gap appeared between me and the monsters all those monsters which were in front fell to the crack disappearing for eternity
"impressive"
the demon floating above commented, he couldn't help but agree with the fact that the young man in front of him was exemplary, if the kid wasn't human he would have given his inheritance to him
"to think archery had reached such a level"
the boy's calmness and his ability to think and fight, not only that his powers and talent too is outstanding, the more the demon looked the more his desire to kill such a talent burned within him
Hey Guys!!, I'm back!
First of all thanks for waiting for me to return and second of all I have already said this before, I started this novel to get away from the stress of my school's study, I didn't expect it to gain recognition, so I thoughts to continue writing.
>the reason I couldn't write this while was because I had my main exams going on, it had just finished, so I plan to write again
So thanks for your patience and enjoy!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
'ohhh, finally i got some breathing space'
looking at the batch of monsters falling into the wide gap created be {worlds crack} i can say that i would have few seconds to rest
if these were normal monsters with mana then i could only run but the one's in front of me have no intelligence, they could only move like mindless beasts
with my current strength fighting them might be cumbersome but it could earn me more amount of affection points from Eleanor, turning around i could see Eleanor watching everything from the back
her calm eyes displaying worry for me, i just waved my hands at her, telling her not to worry, after that i ran straight into the group of monsters
"Austin!!"
i could hear Eleanor screaming from behind me but i just avoided, i knew that she had understood my purpose, while i do have the strength to fight this tide i could not do it protecting Eleanor
i am not that strong yet, the only other way is to make sure that the focus of these monsters where on me and Eleanor knew that
without any hesitation i applied mana to my leg and jumped high, flying towards the center of these monsters, i placed 3 arrows on my bow and fired it
each of them flew with a shining blue light and exploded creating a gap for me to land on and just as i did thousands of those monsters started to run and surround me
"{firey thunder}"
i quickly cast a tier 5 spell causing a thunder bolt to come from the ground creating a hell of fire to surround me, hundreds of monsters burned and turned to ash
and those who survived still started to run towards the fire reducing its size, at the same time i continued to fire several arrows taking the life of those who tried to surround me
time started to slip by as more and more monsters began to die as those with weaker power level fell stronger ones began to take their place
from all my directions monsters still continued to rampage, monsters which fell with one arrows now required 3 or more, some started to dig to the ground and attack from below the ground
at several instances i was just a bit away from getting a severe injuries, my mana started to run low and i had scratches and blood at several places of my body but there was no end to these monsters
i could fell the pain and the blood that flowed from my finger tips, even at this time i could see the distressed look on Eleanor's face and the laughter of that demon
my mental strength too started to take a hit, i started to miss some arrows that i fired, i looked towards the time above 45 minutes left until this hell finished
taking a deep breath I placed my arrows back and cast the spell {sonic distortion}, the ground started to shake and the monsters which was close to me were all shredded
gaining a few seconds i took out the potions from my space ring and drank it, after that my mana and injuries recovered but my eyes was bloodshot, even if the mana recovered my head still hurt
to fight like this continuously and to remain alret all the times taking a toll on my body, the rest i got finished within seconds as the monsters continue to attack
this time i took the sword from my back to fight, there's something that i learned about the 'perfect body' a few years ago, each humans bodies are built to match a certain limit
your muscle arrangements decides on which weapon suits you, hence they decide if you are 'talented' in that weapon or not
but for me i noticed that it was a bit different, due to the 'perfect body' my body is fit to use any weapons, it means that i am 'talented' in any weapons i use
smirking with bloodshot eyes, i held the sword in my hands, my body instinctively moved to hold the weapon at the perfect position, i may not be a sword master or it may not compare to my bow
but i can use the sword to survive, i am sure without any hesitation i swinged the sword in my hands and monsters began to be split
"come on!!"
i roared as i began to fight, i moved from my passive defense to an aggressive assault, my mana may drain faster but i will survive
without any hesitation i kept swinging the sword in my hand, the monsters which attacked me from all sides started to fall, each of their death turning them into sand
i started to fight without minding my defense, i could see the faces of each monster i kill, wounds quickly started to appear on my body again
one of the monster aimed its claws to my head, and i dodged it as other three claws aimed at my heart, throat and lungs, clutching to my sword tighter i swung it in a full circle, deflecting them all
i quickly applied a spell creating several orbs around me the strikes which i could nor defend were taken in by them, quickly i gained a ground to fight, blood started to sweep from my body
yet i still continued to battle, as the time decrease so did the aggression of the monsters increase, their eye's turned red as they continue to come at me without a stop
all the orbs around me had been destroyed, there was only a few seconds left, i was barely fighting on, my arms and legs were stiff and my mana almost dry
'there's only one thing i can do!'
taking in all the mana i had i quickly casted the one special move i learned for the sword, the mana quickly surrounded me as i casted {sword orbit}
i moved the sword around me in orbits, it looked like a barrier of small silver like stars were protecting, all those monsters which attacked me started to disappear, just as i moved the sword for thr last time the bell rang
time was up and i survived, i let out a sigh as i fell to the ground, my body ached all over and i was barely conscious, i took out a bottle from my space ring
opening the bottle a sweet scent came, i quickly gulped it, the sweet taste of nectar passed through my mouth to my stomach, after drinking it my mind started to clear up
the injuries started to heal and my bloodshot eyes started to return to normal, in return, my stomach growled in hunger
CLAP CLAP CLAP CLAP
it's at this time i heard a clapping sound looking up i could see the demon clapping with an impressed look
"i am impressed, it pains me to say this but you are one of the top most talents i have ever seen, it's a pity that your would die in the next round"
"as a recognition of your strength i shall give you 5 minutes to prepare, consider this an honor"
after saying that the bastard dissapeared
