Rebirth: Blades Of Exile

P.S AUTHOR HERE, SEVERAL EDITS HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER YOU MIGHT WANT TO RECHECK IT, anyway here is your daily dose of RBOE :D

On his knees, the stone warrior was heavily bleeding from the wound I inflicted on his c.h.e.s.t.

Unflinchingly, I dug even deeper with my blade, unwilling to give this guy any chance at retaliation, if one wanted to survive in the incoming future, one must always be as ruthless as he could be, never forgiving, and never showing any kind of mercy to his enemies.

My plan was a success, after all, I was pretty familiar with this monster, I have had several bouts with his species before, and I knew exactly how to deal with his kind.

[Battle assessment in process…]

[New achievement, Link Oakshield is the first low-tier human to ever defeat a monster with a 101 level gap, The battle is rated as S-Class difficulty]

Level Up!

LevelUp!

….

Several more texts showed up in front of me, but I could not look into them, it was the side effect of limit breaker, weakened state, I was petrified, hardly could I move my arms and legs.

to any monster out there, right now, I was basically a free snack, Limit Breaker's handicap was way more dangerous then I thought it would be, I should probably be more careful with the way I use it in the future.

Fortunately, there was no other monster showing up.

Tiredness overlapped with Limit Breaker's side effect, draining me physically and mentally.

slowly sitting down, I closed my eyes in an attempt to sleep, and shortly after, I was deep in the land of dreams.

....

Under a gigantic tree, that looked as if it was holding the sky itself, sat man, with his eyes closed, suddenly, as a refreshing breeze blew by, he started mumbling some sort of a chant, with every mumble that came out of his mouth, the sky toppling tree swayed, slowly a typhoon formed, the Dark gold haired man was its center, the typhoon grew and grew, and tree swayed even more.

But, unexpectedly a frown made its way into the incredibly handsome man's face, and with it, the typhoon dispersed, and the tree once again gained its serenity.

'My apologies for the disturbance, your highness' a man wearing some sort of a paladin looking armor walked in saying.

'What brings you here Moris' In a solemn voice replied the Golden-haired man

'I have brought you some news regarding the matter that you have assigned to my legion your highness'

'from your gloomy face, I assume it isn't of the pleasant sort'

'your highness is wise, I have ju..'

'I'd rather you spare me the useless flattery Moris, so what is it?' the air suddenly grew colder.

'We have lost track of him your highness'

'Him?? Ah you mean, to tell me that you lost tail of that guy, even with him being nothing more then insect compared to your legion, commander ?'

The legs of the man called Moris were visibly shaking, with a very nervous sounding voice he replied.

'There was nothing we could do your highness, he entered one of the foreign ancient dungeons'

Silence…

for 5 minutes straight nether of the two said anything.

'ah, I see, you're excused, you may leave now'

Slowly the still bowing moris got up and walked away.

And the golden-haired man broke out in maniacal laughter.

'Oh foolish brother of mine, it seems like I won't be able to toy with your life anymore'

Moris who was walking away, couldn't help but have cold sweat on his back, unconsciously he started walking faster.

....

My stats spiked up once again, it was almost absurd at this point, never have I heard of a human that had 50 base in strength, rather it was more of a characteristic of a troll.

I was wondering if I could raise one of my stats to break through the threshold without investing any points.

it is something unheard of, almost impossible, but I wanted to try, to be a pioneer of a domain that remains unexplored to this day, will surely come with great benefits.

after a bit more contemplation, I decided to not add any points to any stat and focused on my titles instead.

Title 'The challenger II: 15% stat increase by every 10 levels opponent is higher by.

Even better, but just as I was about to close my status menu something picked up my interest.

Abyss Gazer:

Gift of the abyss ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

- ZZZZZZZZZZZ

-Devours random amount of killed enemy's statics, dependant on level.

-ZZZZZZZZZZZ

-ZZZZZZZZZZZ

...

breaking through the threshold might not be as hard as I though to be after all.

i knew for sure, the smile on my face right now, was creepy as hell worthy of the abyss gazer.

....

After my excitement at one of the effects of abyss gazer being unlocked, cooled down a bit, I became aware of how hungry I was, my stomach was rumbling.

Taking out some Jerkies from the lizardman backpack that I made prior to this day, I looked up to the stone warrior's corpse, I still had to loot this guy after all.

while chewing on the Jerkies, my feet's directed me towards it.

I could already see a few items that I recognize.

2 Advanced health potions, and 578 coins.

my expectations were kind of high because of the prior events, but I guess my luck ran out.

but regardless, the stone warriors corpse itself was more valuable to me than anything it could drop right now.

Taking out the knife that I had attached to my leg, I started digging at its c.h.e.s.t, looking for the core that I struck before.

roughly 3 minutes later I dug out a damaged blue core, it was quite heavy but small, small enough to fit in my pocket.

with that out of the way, I started walking towards the door I found earlier, I can finally go into hunting mode.
