Legendary Master

Kazuya trained his control over the divine fire he got, and now he can control its temperature. And he can also control it to burn anything within a 5-meter radius from him.

Luckily for him, there was the training space which is literally the best place to train as it can simulate a place best for his training. So with hours of training, he achieved considerable control over the divine fire.

But he was still in the training space, "System, use the third reward I got and upgrade my martial arts mastery to Legendary Master level" He ordered

[Affirmative, Upgrading martial arts mastery...Upgrade has done!]

[Congratulations host has now Legendary Master Level of martial arts mastery]

Information was sent into his brain directly, it was about more in-depth mastery and understanding of martial arts, etc. Kazuya was already used to it so he just sat down and waited for the process to finish.

------

Now the process was done, Kazuya once again asked the system, "System, can I buy those upgrade tickets? If yes, how much is one?"

[You can host, and the price is 10,000 DC for one ticket. And host can only buy 1 per month]

"Why is it so expensive?! The skills I bought are much cheaper!" He complained

[Host, your the masteries you got are much better than those skills since your masteries can help you in almost any situation. Besides can you use your monster hunter skill on people? No, but your mastery like martial arts mastery can]

He nodded after hearing the system's explanation. The system was right, so he didn't pursue the matter more]

"Alright then buy me 1 more of those tickets," He said, he was planning on upgrading his sword mastery since he was a fan of the sword and it can help him in his future adventures too.

[Affirmative! Buying 1x Mastery Upgrade Ticket...buying has done]

"Use it to upgrade my sword mastery," He said, he didn't worry about the 10k DC he lost since he still has many DC since the event.

[Affirmative]

And soon information over the sword was sent to him. Some of it was about the essence of the sword, sword intent, the sword will, and other various terms you can usually find in wuxia novels.

While receiving the information, subconsciously Kazuya stood up and took out his longsword, and started to swing it. Even after the information sending was done he continuously swing his sword in a trance.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He swings and swings his sword without stopping, then he started to mutter some things, "The sword is me...I'm the sword...We are the same...I'm one with the sword"

[Congratulations host for attaining, 'One with the sword' state. You can now more effectively wield the sword, and you can also use sword intent. You are now one step into becoming a true sword saint]

After hearing the system's announcement, Kazuya got out of his trance. And he felt something different, it's like his sword was not a weapon now but an extension of his arm.

"Whoa! That was amazing...did I get enlightened?" Kazuya mumbled in amazement.

[Yes host, you entered a state of Enlightenment albeit for a short period of time. And you've attained 'One with the sword', a state where only the most talented sword users can attain.]

He nodded, he also knew it since it was along with the information he got earlier. He couldn't help but smile as he got an unexpected gain from upgrading his sword mastery.

And so he decided to stay inside the training space a bit more and continue training to get him used to his new knowledge.

--------

And now, after training Kazuya has already recovered. He decided to go inside the dungeon once again. And as always he killed monsters swiftly.

But this time he picked up the magic stones since he was not in a hurry. He plans to sell it and gather money to buy a house.

He traverses the dungeon floor by floor and hours later, he arrived at Rivira. From then he decided to take a break. He finds a spot to rest under a big tree.

"Hmm...I only need to do 2 objectives now. What to do next..." Kazuya muttered, "Ah, I'll just destroy Evilus first, so I need to destroy Rudra Familia next. As for leveling up to level 5...I think I need some time to get there"

Kazuya rested in Rivira for half an hour before going on floor 19. But before that, he bought the development ability 'Abnormal Resistance' since there are many poisonous things on floors 19-24.

And soon enough he arrived at floor 19, then 19th through 24th Floors are known as the Large Tree Labyrinth. The walls, ground, and ceiling are made out of wood making it seem like the inside of a giant tree.

Instead of phosphorescent light, radiating moss grows across the floor and gives off blue light. He traverses the floor easily but he often encounters monsters as they spawn faster here and they are level 2's individually and some are even stronger.

Luckily he has no problem dealing with them. But while he was running, he heard some sounds of battles, like magic explosions or clashing, are weapons.

"What's that sound?!" He decided to check it out. And when he arrived there, he saw adventurers fighting but one group is surrounded, and many of them died. Actually, the two groups have many of their members dead.

The group that was surrounded has only 5 members left while the group that is surrounding them still has dozens. But upon closer look, Kazuya was familiar with some faces of those surrounded. One of them being Ryuu although her face was younger now, he easily recognized her.

"Ah! So this is the time where Astraea Familia was ambushed by Rudra Familia..." Suddenly he thought of something, "Shit! Gotta help Ryuu and others, otherwise If this continues a Juggernaut will spawn. And I'm not sure if I can stop it" Although he was muttering he was also not stopping at dashing towards the Rudra and Astraea Familia in swift speed.

He was about 50 meters away from the fight after all.
