Chapter 9: Beginning Pt.2

[You are the first to defeat a Lord!]

[Reward: 5000 Points]

[You have defeated one of the 12 subordinates of 'Ruler of Ekx'.]

[Elemental Blade P.1 --> P.3!]

[Blade Compentence P.1 --> P.3!]

[Battle Sense P.1 --> P.3!]

[Detection P.1 --> P.2!]

[1000 Steps P.1 -->P.2!]

[Due to your achievement, your stats are able to pass the limit by 500.]

[Due to the death of a Lord, several monsters have begun to fear you.]

[New skills obtained!]

Huh? New skills?

[Special Skill Myth Sword Aura has absorbed two new skills!]

[Special Skill Demonic Appendage has been obtained!]

[Special Skill Kobold Lord Strength has been obtained!]

Woah! I got two new special skills?!

I was shocked at the skills that I got.

[Myth Sword Aura] really is strong. Although, I need to find a strong weapon in order to hold the power it contains.

I look at the bladeless sword in my hands and five seconds later, the entire sword disintegrated just like the goblins from earlier. My next look was at the Kobold Lord, also disintegrating.

"Are you all right Kai!?"

I switched my gaze over to Haruto with calm eyes.

"Yeah."

"Is it dead now?"

"Yeah. Yeah, it is."

All the students behind us were looking at me with astonishment.

I wonder... if Haruto wasn't here... then I'd probably be good as dead.

I let out a weak smile to signify that it was over.

[You have obtained a new Title!]

A Title? You can also obtain titles?

I was going to open my status until Haruto's voice prevented me from doing it.

"Alright then, let's hurry and find this mark now."

"Ah, right. All of you go. I still have enough strength to hold back the monsters. But before that."

I lifted my hand up to Haruto, prompting him to give me a high five.

"What?"

He was clearly confused.

"Come on, don't leave me hanging."

He was still confused by my sudden gesture, but in the end, gave me what I wanted.

[You have transferred 50000 Points to Haruto Sakubara.]

Haruto's eyes widen at the sudden gain of points.

"What the? Why did you...?"

"Don't freak out and just take it. Besides, it wouldn't matter either way."

Haruto understood what I said and sighed afterward.

"Anyway, use those points to help yourself and the others back at our school. Now let's find the barrier."

The both of us walked towards the students of this school.

Then my body felt heavy again.

[Detection is in use!]

God fucking dammit!! What is it now?!

I looked at the field again, where my senses were the strongest, and shouted at Haruto.

"Go inside now. Something else is coming."

Haruto and the students heard my words and began to rush to the school building.

What the hell is it this time?!

I realized that I didn't have a weapon on me now and was about to open the shop until finally, the thing that triggered my [Detection] revealed itself.

A bright blue light was forming in the middle of the field. It was so bright that the entire campus was covered in a blue hue. But it didn't seem to be doing anything harmful.

I used this time to open the shop and quickly buy another sword. It was called Lower Sword. From its name alone, you already knew this was much weaker than my previous one.

By the way, I wasn't able to buy the Sword of Massacre again, due to it being available only once. And there was only a limited amount of them.

I got into a stance and waited for something to happen. But the more I waited, the less the blue light fainted away. Eventually, the light completely vanished, and so did my heavy body.

"Was that it?"

I spoke too soon.

Suddenly, the bright blue light returned, and it was brighter than before it calmed down and the finishing product of the light appeared. My heavy body also returned.

What is that? It... kind of looks like a portal...

"Kai be careful!"

I turned my head away from the portal and looked at Haruto.

"Watch out!"

I snapped my head back at the portal and spotted two long things coming out of it. The two things looked familiar to ropes, although these looked metallic with a claw grapple.

What are those?! They're coming in fast!

[Elemental Blade is in use!]

My new sword was covered in a teal light.

I ran towards the rope that was going for me, and just as five meters were between me and the ropes, I enhanced my speed and moved out of the way at the last second.

[Agility 1000 -->1500!]

Now the sides of the rope were open.

[Strength 1000 -->1500!]

All right! Now all I have to do is slash through it!

I slashed down on both ropes with the power of the wind, and the moment it connected, a little shockwave was created, knocking me and the sword back.

What?! How are these ropes so strong?!

The ropes then changed courses and headed toward me again.

Come on! One more time!

I increased the power of the wind in my blade, and once again slashed at the ropes, creating sparks and a bigger shockwave, but this time, I wasn't knocked off. I heard the sound of metal breaking and for a moment; I thought I had succeeded. Until I realized what had actually broken.

My sword.

I backed away and threw the sword away.

I knew it was going to break sooner, but not this soon!

[Detection is in use!]

I know god dammit! Stop trying to distract me!

I had thought that the message was speaking about the ropes upfront, however; I felt something tight squeezing on my ankles.

There were more?!

I tried to pull the grapples off my ankles, yet my strength was still too weak to break this kind of metal with my bare hands.

The other two ropes also grabbed above my ankles and started to pull me closer to the portal.

I used all my strength to try to take off the grapples on my ankles as I got closer to the portal, and before I knew it, I was right next to it.

I got sucked into the portal, and the moment I entered, I arrived at a different location immediately.

W-What is this?

My entire body crossed through, and I was now looking around my surroundings.

The location I was brought to was similar to a forest, but not any kind of forest. This forest looked majestic for some reason. I then looked up to the sky, and that alone told me that I wasn't on earth.

The sky was purple and dark, and not only that, three planets were visible from the atmosphere.

Then a voice was heard.

"Hmm, so you're the one that was chosen?"

I turned my head towards the voice and didn't believe what I was looking at.

They had the structure of a human, but they clearly had something else usual about them.

My knowledge of novels and comics brought me to only one reasonable conclusion about who they were.

They were clearly an elf.
