34 Chapter 34
Zephyr looked at the countless horde of the undead legion. Zephyr was still emotionless despite facing thousands of undead. Zephyr instantly appears in the center as he blinked through it.
He then waved his sword as he used [Vorpal Destruction] making all undead within 5 meters around him disappear into thin air. Suddenly a notification appears which piques Zephyr's interest.
['Vorpal Destruction' skill proficiency has drastically increased by 82%, 91%, 98%, 99%.]

Zephyr was a little bit impressed at the upgrade of the skill even it just raised by 1 level. He could now consider this skill as one of his finishing move if he came across a tough opponent.
It has also grown as a legendary skill. Zephyr wondered how the system judged the upgrade as he himself who created it has no idea.
As he was still in the battle field, Zephyr redirected his attention to the undeads. Zephyr looked at the undead legion and thought of an idea.
Aron and the others was constantly fighting the undead. Even they can kill a single undead instantly, they were still being overwhelmed by the numbers.
They let out their skills to eliminate the monsters but another bunch appeared instantly. Aron slashed his sword as he tried to imitate Zephyr. As a fellow swordsman, being able to witness the swordmanship of the Sword Saint allows him to receive an enlightenment.
His movements became even more clearer than before and more fluid. He minimizes the excessive movements and tried to maximize the efficiency. However, due to the endless numbers of the undeads, he was still having a hard time.
"There's no end to them."
Aron let out a complain which was heard by his comrades as they agreed to him. Suddenly, they heard Zephyr's monotone voice.
"Try to gather as much as undead you can in a 20 meter area. The more the better."
They were confused on what he would do but still followed him. It took them a minute to accomplish his order but Zephyr was satisfied. Seeing the compacted undead, Zephyr blinked again at the center.
Suddenly, a tremendous amount of deadly killing intent which filled the entire battlefield which causes shivers to Aron, Ivan, Miya and all the players nearby.
'What a bloodthirsty aura!'
All of them thought as Zephyr used the level 2 [Vorpal Destruction]. All undead within 20 meter range vanished without a trace. The party members eyes were widened in disbelief as no one could comprehend what just took place.
Why did the undeads vanish after that killing intent filled the air? Also what happened to Zephyr at that moment? All they saw was him disappearing but his HP bar in the party window still showed him alive.
When the view finally started to clear up, they were all stupefied by the sight that emerge before them. Zephyr was standing with Frostlight Sword emitting an aura similar to the one they felt earlier.
While everyone was trying to process on what's going on, Miya's face paled. 'This guy, is an absolute freak.' she could not help but thought to herself as she had experienced his damage before.
However, Zephyr wasn't bothered by their reactions at all as he was looking at the notifications that appeared in front of him.
[Conditions have been met.]
[Your pet 'Tetsuya's has obtained 'Kyuubi's Breath'.]
[(Conditions:)
* Reach Tier 1.
* Defeat 50,000 enemies.]
Seing Tetsuya need to fulfill some conditions before he could obtain new skills, Zephyr thought it was some interesting set up for legendary pets as the conditions were not known at all. He then looked at the skill that Tetsuya acquired.
[Kyuubi's Breath Lv.1]

Cooldown Time: 30 seconds.]
Seing that Tetsuya now had an AOE skill, Zephyr decided to no longer hold back as he wanted to eliminate the mobs. Zephyr then started attacking the undead legion as he constantly blinked across the battlefield.
As Zephyr already possesses high agility and with the Phantom Bracelet which increases his attack speed by 3 times, Zephyr was able to deal swiftly with undead legion.
Also, as players began to adapt to the monsters, the monsters were beginning to be pushed back as the 1st rate and 2nd rate guilds were making use of their numbers and strategic positions.
Arriving at the final horde of undeads, Zephyr both used [Firestorm] and [Lightning Storm] killing all undead and draining Zephyr's total mana to half as he unleased a shower of fire and lightning.
[Announcement: The 3rd phase of Monster Tide has begun.]
After exterminating the undeads, another wave of monsters appeared but only on the eastern side of wall. Zephyr looked at the another massive wave of monsters as he narrowed his eyes as all monsters were now demonized just like the kobolds Zephyr had fought.
As the monsters were approaching at fast speed, Tetsuya stood in front of Zephyr as he opened his mouth. Black and light blue mana balls gathered around as it then took the shape of a sphere.
Tetsuya then fired the magic power creating explosions that are visible from incredibly far away and that vaporize almost everything in the blast area.
Several monsters died as they were hit and those were not also suffered damage from the shockwave. Zephyr then followed up as he blinked and slashed the monsters. He then proceeded to the next concentrated numbers of monster and used [Crescent Stream].
Zephyr didn't stop at all as he proceeded and used [Nova Ascencion]. Zephyr then let out numerous [Fireball] as he decided to finish as soon as possible as he felt his movement became sluggish as his stamina is now running low.
['Fireball' skill proficiency has drastically increased by 82%, 91%, 98%, 99%.]
[Congratulations! You have reached the 100% proficiency of the skill, 'Fireball'.]

The damage has increased also with the mana consumption and the skill cooldown. However, Zephyr wasn't bothered by it as he looked at the remaining monster.
[Abyssal Beast]
Rating: Epic Boss
Level: 22
Tier: 0
HP: 35,600
MP: 20,870
Summary: A beast who can use spacial magic.
Zephyr was slightly surprised seing it was an epic boss which possessed the power of space. He also concluded that this was the last one as he didn't saw another.
Zephyr then appeared behind it as he blinked and launch a slash towards it. He also controlled the two legendary swords to stab the abyssal beast. However, Zephyr was surprised that he didn't deal any damage at all.
With super sensitivity, he sensed there was as if some barrier which was nullifying his attacks.
'It's distorting the surrounding space?'
Zephyr thought as he could feel his attacks won't hit the target at all. However, Zephyr continued his attacks as he used [Illusory Sword] which made his six attacks unblockable.
[You have dealt 2,890 damage to the target.]
[You have dealt 2,890 damage to the target.]
[You...]
Zephyr slightly narrowed his eyes as his damage was reduced. As he was now facing a single enemy, Tetsuya's passive no longer applied. However, he was confident that should be able to deal more damage at all as his stats was now high.
Zephyr suspected his attacks were still nullified by the distorted space which was actually true. Suddenly,
[The space around you has been distorted.]
['Blink' skill has been restricted.]
Seing that he won't be able to use blink, Zephyr resorted to facing it head on. Zephyr slashes it as he no longer saved his skill as he used [Fire Bolt] and [Thunder Bolt].
All players who were watching the fight were surprised at how Zephyr was able to fight head on an Epic Boss on his own. However, all of them were frozen as they focused their attention on the fight afraid of missing a single moment.
Zephyr was able to stun the Abyssal Beast but no damage was dealt. After being stunned, Zephyr felt that the barrier disappeared and didn't let the opportunity go. Zephyr used [Lightning Body] instantly appearing in front of the Abbysal Beast and then used [Lightning Flame Slash].
[You have dealt 12,083 damage to the target.]
Zephyr was surprised as his damage was still nullified and then once again he casted 3 spells at the same time. Zephyr casted [Fireball],[Lightning Blast] and [ Lightning Bolt].
Zephyr was now sure this would finish the beast however, suddenly the space around Zephyr opened as he was immediately swallowed inside it without any resistance.
[You have been caught within a space vortex.]
[You will be sent into a random location.]
Zephyr opened his eyes and saw he was in a dark cave. Zephyr sighed as he felt he was stupid for not noticing what the beast is up to as he doesn't have any idea it can send him to a random place. As he was in his deep thought, numerous notifications appeared.
