Level Five Guardian

The level five Monster was a monster Sky had never seen in his life. It had a wolf like face, and stood on its four legs. The monster also had two white tails which did not match up with its blue coloured fur body.

But it was quite agile for a monster of huge size. It dodged Sky's slashes as if it was taking a stroll as It leisurely tried to bite Sky's head off with Its wolf teeth.

Sky had fought numerous monsters over the past year and you can say that his reflexes were honed with his every fight. Now, his each slash, consumed less than half of what it had done before.

But under the level five monster's agility, Sky's reflexes seemed to become useless. It had a massive body and fast responses to his 'dodges', almost hitting Sky every time it moved it's front paw.

Even though he was disadvantaged, Sky did not despair, he had an immortal hand after all. He constantly used his mind to calculate the attack and defence patterns of the level five monster. He even activated his 'eyes of truth' and saw through it's internal energy flow.

He discovered that it's 'Internal Energy Reserve' location was in its lower abdomen, which was always facing the ground (imagine the stomach of a wolf, it always faces down, towards the earth). If Sky had to attack the monster's Internal Energy Reserve, He would have to get under the monster's body.

The Level Five Monster seemed to know that Sky was aiming for it's Internal Energy Reserve and guarded it with utmost attention.

Helpless against the monster who saved it's reserve point at all times, Sky could only wait for it to get exhausted as he attacked the other main points where the Internal Energy flowed.

Sky's eyes turned bright as he moved left. He saw one of the monster's weak point, it was a place from where, the Internal Energy was sent to its legs.

Without delaying much, Sky attacked this point which stored the internal energy to support the Level Five Monster's legs with incomparable swiftness.

The monster was taken aback by Sky's sudden attack towards its leg and countered in reflex by kicking Sky's face with Its other leg.

This was a full powered strike from a level five monster. Sky could feel a cold sensation pass through his head. hid face would be destroyed if he did not dodge this attack.

For anyone else this move was a death sentence, but not for Our Sky. He had a hand that made him Immortal.

Sky roared crazily as he increased his hand's speed to attack the energy reserve in the leg. He smiled as the sharp knife in his right hand that had reached it's target, pierced through the Level Five Monster's leg.

At the same time, the monster's other leg reached Sky's face. Sky hastily raised his left hand to block the kick to his face. His left hand might be immortal and indestructible but it did not contain any pushing force.

So Sky had no intentions to stop the level five monster's kick. He only wanted to reduce the impact and pain that he would get when the Level Five Monster's leg strikes his face directly.

But the next scene left him dumbfounded. The level five monster that he had been fighting for the past two hours, suddenly disappeared as soon as it touched Sky's left hand.

"What the fuck did you do?" He screamed at his left hand. He had been fighting that monster for two hours already, and was about to make a counterattack, but his arm just had to spoil everything.

[ If you had such amazing power, show them to me first. Now what do we do. Did you kill the guardian? If you did, we would become the new guardian of this floor. Ah! Fuck, if you really have killed him, I will leave you here and go. Hump! ]

Sky thought that his left hand had showed him a new power and killed the level five monster. But this was, in fact not such a case.

"Fuck! What is this place." Sky heard a scream from his left hand as he was cursing at it in his head.

He stopped his cursing and comprehended the situation. It seemed like, his left hand had just absorbed the level five monster into his second space.

Sky sighed in relief. Seeing the level five monster trapped in his second space and screaming wildly, Sky forgot all the cursing towards his left arm in a moment.

This situation of being able to trap a level five monster in his hand gave Sky, a new way to defeat opponents who do not know anything about 'space'.

This included all the monsters who were below the level of Gods. Only Gods were able to perceive space, so he could just trap all of his enemies who are not gods in his secondary space.

He had an urge to kiss his left arm right now. But the level five monster was getting restless in his space, so he asked his left hand to let the monster out.

Sky had planned to defeat this monster using his own power. He took a battle stance as soon as the monster appeared and charged at him.

Looking at Sky who was currently charging at it, the level five monster shouted out in fear. "Stop!!!"

Sky was taken aback by the behaviour of the level five monster and stopped in his tracks. He then took a battle stance, ready to attack the moment he wants to.

Seeing Sky stop, the level five monster relaxed. The monster then sat down on his four legs and closed his eyes. "You pass the trail kid. You may pass through." It said as it yawned.

Sky finally understood the original reason of their fight. Yeah! That's right, he was here to defeat the monster, not kill it.

He bowed to the level five monster and crossed it to get to the stairs.

Suddenly his left hand throbbed and lifted itself back into the first level of the dungeon. Sky felt his heart pain crazily. He hugged his chest and looked back towards the fox territory, "Artha!" He managed to say a word with difficulty.

Sky had a bad premonition about this, the last time this happened, he lost Mey, he was not ready to lose another.

He started running back towards the fox territory at a speed that exceeded his limits. His eyes emitted killing intent that scared the monsters he passed by.

"Sky! Artha is gravely injured." Suddenly he heard the four tailed fox speak from his hand.

"What! Artha is injured." Sky raged as his eyes spit fire. "Who did it?" He asked coldly.

"I don't know. We sisters share a soul connection but it only allows me perceive the graveness of her injuries." The four tailed fox was also shaken and was not as cool as she was normally.

Sky had never wished to be fast before, but right now, he wished he had two more legs to run faster.

But his wishes were not granted and he did not grow two more legs.

He might not have an extra pair of legs but he does posses the most powerful and mysterious hand in this world.

Sky's body turned hot as his left hand released a white beam of light making Sky's speed double in an instant.

[ I fucking swear, if my Artha dies, I shall make the world accompany her.]

He vowed to himself in anger.

Basically if Artha dies,

Sky would become a Destroyer. The one who brings an end to the era.
