The handle of the sword went inside Caizher's darkness, only leaving the bladed part. Instead of two, there are now three tails behind him. Caizher literally used everything he have to attack
He channeled mana on his sword and he used it stab on the poor tree again. His sharp claws and tails were also infused with mana and he scratched on the tree while penetrating it using his tails
The bullied tree finally fell down while colliding with the other trees on its ways. Caizher continued and targeted the other trees. Scratch marks appeared all over on several trees as his figure flickered here and there
Caizher then changed into his mini titan form and condensed a dark ball of mana on his palms. His figure moved again and reached the front of two trees that are close to each other
The dark balls had a physical contact with the trees and it exploded causing more splinters of woods to flew around. In a speed as fast as he can, Caizher changed back to his human form while holding his sword
"[Darkness Style: Dark Slash!]" Caizher slashed in the air two times and the sword light targeted one tree each
Caizher's forte is his unpredictability. He can change into many forms and he wants to train it to take advantage of it. If one looks from above on the place where Caizher is training, they can see an area devoid of trees. Or more like an area devoid of any standing tree
As his finale, Caizher changed into his titan form again before inhaling a sharp breath. The surrounding air was inhaled by him causing his chest to visibly bulge. He speedily worked to infuse it with dark attributed mana
"[Darkness Style: Breath of Death!]" Caizher exhaled the air through the mouth he formed and the breath attacked bullied yet another group of trees
The dark breath caused the trees that were hit to shriveled as if all of their nutrients were sucked dry from them. Another area can be seen that doesn't have any trees and this time, it was a straight line
Nodding his head in satisfaction, Caizher returned to his human form and entered the cave again. Just like before, Caizher soaked his body on the mana pool and as usual, the mana automatically entered his body. The mana he used before were slowly being replenished
----
After recovering from his peak again, Caizher exited the cave and decided to have an actual fight. He went to climb the mountains again and this time, no Treants attacked him thanks to the Elf from before. Well, if they did attack him, Caizher might really kill them
A large area was riddled with Elves so Caizher needs to travel higher to meet any enemies. When he finally encountered an enemy, he saw a herd of about fifteen Elk with green Antlers
The Elks seeing him immediately become aggressive and charged at him but Caizher wasn't afraid though. He wasn't training just to be scared of enemies!
Black wings sprouted from behind Caizher as he used his floating ability and wings to propel him in the sky. The Elks weren't pushover though and their green antlers glowed with a green light
Green beams of light were shot from their antlers. Caizher tried dodging all of it but one still managed to hit his right wing. But the elks are bound to be disappointed if they think that Caizher will fall on the ground because of the damage on his wings
Caizher simply use his darkness to patch the hole and it was as good as new again. He retrieved his sword from literally inside his body and coated it with mana
Caizher dived down on the elks whose body gained a greenish aura. His sword clashed with one of the elks' antlers producing sparks everywhere. Caizher's wings vanished and his feet touched the ground again
The other elks also charged at him but Caizher just made tentacles all over his body to stopped them for a while. Caizher continuously used his sword to attack but the elks will use their antlers to defend
The bodies of the elks glowed with a green light and Caizher was mesmerized by them a bit before his soul throb and the dark energies inside his sea of consciousness attacked the green energies that entered him
"Soul attack?" Caizher muttered and used this chance to kill one of the elks. "[Darkness Style: Dark Thrust!]" His sword glowed with a dark light and he used it to thrust on the eye of one of the elks
The elk uttered a cry of pain before it was killed and turned into mana and dissipate to be part of the dungeon again
Caizher can feel a hint of shock on the elks as their soul attacks didn't worked. The man now feels that soul attacks might be ineffective to him as he also has great immunity on it
Not only was his soul already powerful, his spirit sea also has a lot of dark energies that will attack any foreign invader
"Heh... I am really blessed!" Caizher said happily and jumped in the air. Three sharp and long tails grew on his back and they attacked one elk each. The elks were still shocked and Caizher managed to kill three of them again
The elks uttered an angered cry as they slammed their feet on the ground. All the grass turned longer and sharper before they flew towards him
Even with this many attacks coming from all direction, Caizher just let the sharp grass hit his body. These grasses were turned sharper and harder by the elk but it was still a physical type attack that is ineffective on him
The grass pierced Caizher causing areas of his body to burst into fogs of darkness but aside from that, the man wasn't harmed at all. His darkness retracted and he returned back to normal as if nothing happened
The elks were given a shock again and Caizher grinned at them before channeling mana on his foot and tap the ground with it. "[Darkness Style: Shadow Kill!]"
The own shadows of these elks were used to them. The shadows turned into multiple sharp tendrils that pierced their bodies and made multiple scars
As Caizher's mastery on it was still low, he was only able to leave superficial wounds as the elks also have great defense. "[Darkness Style: Paralysis Curse!]"
From those wounds, the tattoo of a black skull appeared and the elks started losing their body strength but Caizher didn't stopped there!
"[Darkness Style: Shadow Bind!]" The shadows of the elk turned into multiple tendrils again but this time instead of directly injuring them, it wrapped all over their bodies and prevented them from moving
Caizher knew that he can't stop their movements forever and speed things ups and changed to his beast form. He charged at them in all fours and two balls of black light condensed on his claws. Caizher slammed those balls on the elk's face while the tails on his back grew longer again
This time, he formed 'mouth' at the tip of his tails. The mouth opened and mana condensed on it too. The tails with mouth shot a straight beam like attack to the elks and killed another three of them
With these skills on his arsenal, when Caizher become a bit serious, he easily killed all of the elks. Only one of them left a corpse and Caizher turned it into a dark elk
The dead elk turned 'alive' again and Caizher gave it a mental order to wait for him here. The treants might attack it without Caizher's presence
The man travelled higher in this mountain and encountered more herds of elks that he immediately killed. The ones that left a corpse were turned into dark elks that become on 'stand by'
Caizher stared at a big rock in this mountain. He wondered how a big boulder like this isn't rolling down the mountains. Caizher poked it curiously but nothing happened. He was about to ignore it and continue on his way before the ground suddenly trembled
"An earthquake?" Caizher suspiciously asked but then saw that the boulder was moving
Caizher moved farther away from it in case of danger as he looked at the giant boulder 'slowly standing up'
What he saw brought amazement to Caizher. It was a rock giant monster! Its height can reach up to 6 meters high. The rock giant roared causing the birds on the trees to flew away in fear
The eyes of the rock giant locked on Caizher and it used its rocky palm to slam on the man. But the rock giant is bound to be disappointed as Caizher dodged it
The palm of the giant hit the ground causing a loud and deafening sound. The force behind its attack cracked the ground and pieces of it rolled down the mountain
Seeing the 'ant' dodging, the rock giant used its other arm to attack but Caizher just dodged it again and used his sword to retaliate
"[Darkness Style: Dark Slash!]" Caizher slashed in the air and a sword light flew and hit the giant's arm. But to his shock, it only left a shallow marks on its body
"What strong defensive power!" Caizher can't help but praise. This rock giant might be the strongest monster that he ever encountered since the apocalypse
Not wanting to lose badly, Caizher changed into his titan form again. This time, he grew bigger. Instead of the normal 3 meters tall, his titan form now has the same height as the rock giant
Caizher intake a sharp breath and the surrounding air entered his body. To see how powerful he is, Caizher infused the air with his dark energies. "[Darkness Style: Breath of Death!]"
Caizher opened his mouth and the dark air on his chest hit the rock giant in the face. As the Breath of Death directly attacked one's life force, Caizher won't believe that it won't have any significant effect!
The dark attack destroyed the life force of the rock giant but Caizher really underestimated it. His skill might be powerful and attacked the life force directly but this rock giant has a huge body and robust life force!
What he destroyed was just like a drop of water in the ocean. The rock giant can still move even with the dark breath assaulting its body. It was like it wasn't facing a deadly attack at all
The rock giant threw a punch on Caizher's chest and it burst open and caused the dark air to assault the giant's fist. To Caizher's shock, this rock giant was able to destroy his darkness using physical attack!
Although the damage was extremely low and weak mana attacks will destroy more of his darkness but it was a testimony at how powerful the rock giant is!
Caizher's body trembled in excitement. He knew he can't defeat this rock giant now but he would still want to fight it. He yearned for a time that he will be as powerful as this rock giant
Caizher ignored the rock giant's hand on his chest and condensed dark energies on his palm. Due to his size, he managed to condensed a meter big ball but with the cause of an aching soul and destroyed darkness
The man roared and used the essence of darkness ball to attack. He slammed it on the rock giant's chest causing some rocks on its body to be destroyed
However, even with this attack, Caizher only managed to leave a few inches deep mark. Compared to the giant's size, this little bit of damage was nothing at all
This rock giant is also at the Servant Rank but because of its body composition, even Caizher was unable to at least give it a substantial injury
The rock giant ignored the 'scratch' on its chest and threw another punch on Caizher. Air itself trembled because of its power. Caizher's body bursts into fog of darkness again before he changed his form
This time, Caizher used his beast form and coated his claws and tails with dark energies. His soul is already aching so badly and every use of dark energies destroyed some of his darkness but Caizher doesn't care
He wants to be satisfied in fighting this powerful rock giant!
