Robbing the sword that should’ve belong to Edward

Three days have passed since Zen entered Twilight.

He has also earned a system reward from saving Crystal, as she was supposed to die in the original storyline.

The reward he obtained was his mana pool being upgraded to the point that it rivals a Great Mage.

Zenryx was currently exploring the humongous forest, and while he was at it, he also fought all types of low tiered beasts that came his way. He already knew where the sword was located, so he was not in a rush to find it.

So he was simply having fun killing the demonic beast and sightseeing. As far as the eye can see, many headless corpses of beasts could be seen around. Also, he was in another world, and he simply couldn't pass up exploring the beauty of this other world.

He's been long become indifferent about killing and this type of situations, due to his past life as a cutthroat businessman where morality took a backseat to profit. He rolled up his sleeves and embraced a crimson colored pathway to success.

As for Edward obtaining the sword while he was exploring and fighting? He was not worried, as he had already guessed that the girl he saved earlier should be Edward's sister.

She was supposed to die at this point in the story. After finding his sister's dead body, Edward went crazy, going deeper into the forest and aimlessly killing demonic beasts to avenge her. This was also when he accidentally stumbled upon the ancient looking structure where he was able to acquire the sword.

He thought that Edward should've met up with his sister by now. If he still had at least one brain cell left inside his brain, then he should've left the Twilight Zone by now, not risking his sister's life to go any deeper into the forest.

But of course, if he did not care about his sister's life, he would simply go on not caring anymore about her safety. Which did not align with Edwards personality.

In the novel, Edward did not want to kill his enemies. He had moral integrity, selflessness, and self-sacrifice, and he didn't even want to kill his enemies unless forced to. Your typical hero.

But he also had to double check just to be sure. He went around and scanned the area, looking for Edward. Trying to sense human activity around the area, he found that there was no one around except for him.

One of the things he brought with him was a radar device that could sense heat signatures within an area of fifteen miles. A green dot shows up on the radar if it was human and red dots are for those that are of different species.

Due to his background and wealth, he could easily bring out things that normal people could not even afford.

Back to Zenryx.

He was currently facing a huge fire-breathing monster with a lion's head, a goat's body, and a serpent's tail. This beast is ranked fourth in the system.

He swiftly lunged forward with his sword, executing rapid swings, in an attempt to assess the creature's defensive capabilities.

Surprisingly, it only scratched it up a little bit. The next moment, the chimera breathed out fire, blocking Zen's vision. Then its serpent like tail was raised, trying to get a hold of him and inject venom into his body.

But Zen reacted quickly, directly using his defiant sword skill and activating the Tier B lightning attribute, coating his sword with lightning. It was able to cut off its tail, and the direction his sword skill was sent to destroyed everything in its path. Disintegrating the trees and the ground into ashes within half a mile.

Even Zen was shocked and in disbelief 'Th-This sword is too overpowered, isn't it?! I should use a normal sword next time so I know my limits while fighting at my current strength.'

"ROOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!"

The ferocious creature emitted a roar of fury. The resounding rumble of its roar reverberated through the very ground, slicing through the atmosphere in the valley akin to an echoing thunder.

If it was someone else, the roar of the beast would have struck their ears like a wall of pain. They would instinctively clutch their ears, wanting the roar to stop.

It dashed out, and it savagely attacked Zen. Its claws were as strong, or even stronger than metal. It kept attacking Zen, wanting to rip him apart.

He blocked each of its attacks with his sword.

Just as the beast's claws were about to land on him. Zen dashed backward, retreating to avoid the fatal attack.

Zen wanted to end the fight quickly, as he had not yet trained his physical body to its peak and couldn't contend with the beast's physical strength.

He directly activated his domain and sent a ball of lightning towards the beast, stunning it for one second.

That was enough to use his Tempest of Blade domain. Four instantaneous blade slashes appeared and rushed out to the beast.

The creature made an attempt to evade, yet proved unsuccessful due to the relentless onslaught from all directions.

"ROOOAAAAARRRR!!!!!"

The beast roared helplessly, feeling the sword's strength and knowing it was about to die.

The sword's slashes directly collided with the beast, cutting its body in four pieces. Its body fell to the ground, and blood splattered everywhere.

If he was using a regular sword, it would not have been able to cut it to pieces, but he was using a Tiered B sword, which made it possible.

Zen walked towards the beast and kicked it softly, trying to see if it was still alive.

Of course he knew it was already dead; he was just messing around with its dead body.

He then used his innate talent, skill devourer on the beast. The skill he had never used before and see how it worked. By using this innate talent, he was able to acquire the beast's flame skill, physical enhancement, and poison skill.

Zen exclaimed in slight shock, "Yo! Ain't this innate skill too broken?! I gained three skills just by doing that? Although they may not be lethal and powerful enough right now, I should be able to combine these skills with other suitable skills in the future and make a brand new skill!"

He then patted the beast's head and said, "What a ferocious beast giving me a hard time, tsk. But you did give me some useful skills." He smiled and directly grabbed its head, then kicked it up like a soccer ball.

"We'll, I've had enough fun. It's time to get my sword," Zen said with a devilish grin.

He proceeded in the path leading to the location of the sword.
