THE UNDEAD ARMY

After 2 months of continuous adventures...

They finally reach the Kingdom.

Kuramoto Sighs as The kingdom looks normal and doesn't seem that affected by it.

They enter the Nation by using their adventurer guild card..

After entering the town.

They walk towards the centre of the city.

While walking, They see a robber robbing a man of his valuables..

Kuramoto quickly teleports over to the robber and grabs the bag and comes back over to Chinatsu.

"You wanna take this and go away?"

"No! We will be the same as the robber then.."

"Come on, We're new here, We don't really have money to stay here, We HAVE to steal this."

Just then, The robber and his gang arrived to take revenge.

Kuramoto looks at them with a threatening glare intensifying every second.

And says "GO AWAY!"

They get scared and try to run away, But then the man that got robbed back then, Comes from a corner saying "Ah, Here you are.. Hide and seek ends now."

As he appears infront of them, Kuramoto activates his Divine Eyes to check his statistics and he trembles in fear by looking at his stats.

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" asked Chinatsu while crouching down to support Kuramoto stand.

"Return... His... Wallet... You're of.. no match to him..." Says Kuramoto while coughing up blood.

The man in front of the robbers than snaps his fingers, And all the robbers got smashed to death by an invisible force..

Chinatsu watches in Fear, Terrified of the man,as she thought the robbers didn't deserve this just because they stole a little thing.

The man infront of her, menacingly walked towards Kuramoto and crouched over.

He switched up and said "Hey, Thanks man! You really saved my stuff back there! I don't know what would've happened if you weren't there"

He does healing magic to him to heal him..

He sees his valuables in her hand and asks "..Are you a part of the robbers team?"

Kuramoto hurriedly stood up while still shaking saying "No, She's with me.."

"Very well then, We shall meet again." Says the unknown man wearing a robe and a mask while disappearing into thin air using some kind of teleportation spell leaving behind a note saying 'My name is, Higashi Katsuo, Your brother, It was nice meeting you again little brother, I hope you have been fine, I haven't forgotten our deal and continue to look forward to the day you defeat me.'

When Kuramoto reads this note, He gets reminded of his brother and notices how strong he has become, even though both of them started almost the same.

Couple days later, They rent a Inn and started living there while doing quests to support themselves.

Kuramoto: "Have you heard about the undead? Where are they?"

Chinatsu: "Yeah, I've heard about it from the locals"

"It seems they are confined in the East Astral."

"Oh, I see! I can't wait to defeat them!" Said Kuramoto

Setting out on a new journey to defeat the undead army and the strongest predator.

They are currently in the South Astral.

They left the Inn after 2 days with their stuff for the journey to East.

They begin their journey right after the Sun gets up to the east pointing out the direction they need to go to.

They keep riding the cart with some actual bought horses instead of just using Kuramoto's MP.

3 days pass, They still aren't close to the East.

One time, They were usually talking as they are supposed to.

Kuramoto:"So, what did u do before you met me?"

"Oh? You're interested aren't you, haha fine I will tell you"

"I was once the banished princess of the Astral Kingdom, Even though it has been 15 years since then, Now my older sister is the Monarch of the country"

"Why did they banish you from there? You're pretty talented, I would like to compare your beauty to the goddesses themselves too."

"Actually, I was banished not because of my talents being inferior to my sister, I was more talented than her, But one day a Sage came to meet my father, I was with him, The sage did some inspection on me, Then he told my father something that led to me being banished from the kingdom, I look quite different than I did back then, So I'm not sure if they even remember me anymore"

"That's quite unfortunate, I'll be sure to kick their asses so you can return back to the kingdom!" Said Kuramoto clenching his fists.

"That's enough for today, I'll tell you more someday if you want. You can go sleep now, I'll keep watch over the horses."

As soon as the horses were tired, She would cast her SS grade Healing magic on them so they can get back right up once again.

After 2 and a half months, they finally reach their location..

"Ahh, This was a long journey!" He says while stretching his body as he hadn't walked much since starting the journey.

"It's nice to see my hometown back again, But..."

"But what?"

"It's now flooded with the predator's virus..."

"Don't worry! I will beat them for you!"

Chinatsu's eyes move away from him in a shyful manner.

"How could you say that, you dummy..." She said in her thoughts.

As soon as they entered, The predators were alerted about something that has entered in their territory, they rushed towards the entrance with human flesh still in their mouth.

Chinatsu said "I feel like vomiting, what the hell is that!"

Both of them look away.

The predators come charging towards them the same way a bear attacks it's prey.. (SFX:swoosh!)

Kuramoto moves out of the way and the stupid predator smashes it's head on the wall (SFX:BAM!)

But it doesn't end there, Unless it's head is cut, Just like a demon, It won't die, it has infinite regeneration, A fast one at that too.

He quickly lets his guard up and slashes his head with a quick slice to it's head (SFX:SWISH!) stopping it's immediate regeneration defeating one of the millions of enemies

He faces forward with a slight grin getting bigger on his face every second passing by saying "I guess I have to do it! You guys are worthy enough of making me use all of my strength!"

He jumps high up (SFX:swish) and lands with his sword and battle stance ready inside the enemy lair (SFX:BAM!)

knocking back all the undead in a certain point of area.

He takes out his Berserker Armor to its utmost limit increasing his defence to the max swinging his sword killing nearby enemies.

2 and a half days of killing the Monsters...

He gets exhausted because his MP was almost over despite his ability to have almost infinite MP.

Then A General of the final enemy shows himself, it was the one of the biggest enemies he will ever have faced, He was accurate 20 Metres tall and was very fast with his movements, Like he knew what he was doing unlike the undead, fighting around without anything in their consciousness.

Kuramoto says "I guess I gotta use my Trump Card to beat you!" rushing forward activating his Fly to get close to his head, Infinite Darkness to use the enemies energy to make it his own, And berserker mode combined with Berserker Armor reaching his body to go beyond its capable limits and the Unbreakable Sword in his hand, Eyes turning red, Feeling a lot of pain, He charges forward doing a quick and his strongest slash, But something happened that he hadn't noticed, It did nothing but just tickle the Mass Monster, The Titan than grabbed him by his body and threw him to the ground,(SFX:SLAM!) Seriously damaging his meridians and fatally injuring him, The Titan said "You're still far too weak. I will give you some time, To be accurate, Just 1 year, You have to become strong enough to beat me, Now you should go prepare for the next battle, Weakling."

Kuramoto then quickly took him up on his offer and run away with Chinatsu to the main town..

"Oh well, Guess I'm still far too weak to be compared to that Mass Monster, I have to do something about it..

"Oh, Oh I know something that can help you! I noticed your fighting techniques are quite barbaric, Maybe you could learn Martial Arts to make it refined enough and learn more powerful techniques?"

"That's a good idea, Maybe I could try it."

He asks, "How do I start cultivating?"

She replies "Hmm, Maybe you should start by relaxing your mind and try to enter the heavenly stage where you can learn everything on your own?"

"I could try, Let's take a room and try to do it I guess."

They both take a room each, Kuramoto starts trying to relax his mind and trying to enter the plain Chinatsu said about using some basic martial art books he bought from the nearby market.

After 9 consecutive days, He finally entered the plain, He was shocked at first and thought "Finally! I could do it!"

There was a Pearl infront of it and a Old Sage infront of him ordering him to touch the pearl.

He asked "Why? Why should I touch it?"

It replied "It checks what your martial level is, According to Your level, You learn different techniques"

He then touched the pearl, The pearl shone so bright that it exploded! The old man was shocked as though he never expected someone to be this strong, But worst of all, It was a sacred treasure, He could teach him anything, Only the plain higher than the old sage's can contain such heavenly techniques to teach him about.

The old sage flicks his fingers and teleports him to the founder of the martial arts called "God Human."

"The Son Of God Greets the Master!" says Kuramoto while bowing down to the master.

The man says "It's just my left over consciousness, You don't have to greet this long ago dead man."

"Oh, No! it's my pleasure meeting such a great martial artist! Can you teach me the basics of it? Like the ranks and stuff?"

"Oh yes sure sure, So apparently, Can you see this list?" He summons a list of the top martial sects of the entire world.

"These are the top martial arts, But our name isn't there, there's a special reason to it."

"What's the reason?"

"Our Sect got destroyed, Only some of the Sect Elders and My soul are left behind in hopes someone is strong enough to learn this martial art and rule over the world once again."

"But sadly, No one has ever been summoned to this realm, We've waited for thousands of years, But now, A remarkable man like you, stands before me, Calling me master, I cannot describe the feels I get from this."

"Anyways, Master, When our Sect was alive and well, What rank were we?"

"Our Sect was a different level, The devil Rank, Higher than the Heavenly Tier, Considered to be the best of the best sects in the world, We were strong but..."

"But what?"

"We got betrayed, Our sect was cornered by Every Martial Sect in this world"

"Not even one of them came to save it?"

"Many did, But none of them could save it..."

"Would you like to help us to revive and become the top of the once again? I will teach you everything I have mentally, But you have to practice and master it physically, In the real world, and not in the spirit realm."

"Okay got it!"

"The time runs slow here, 5 Years here are just 15 days on the outside, So you can practice everything and try to remember it all, and you will still have time to get used to it physically!"

"That's great!"

"Let's start practicing now!"

Let's start with this, I will transfer some of the basic techniques to you and you have to mentally focus on it and finish the 50 Trials required to pass, Each Trial consists of me sharing extraordinary knowledge with you, The last student took 10 years, I wonder how good you will do.."

The old man starts transferring his martial arts Kuramoto and begins the first trial.

The first trial:The Water Way

"You have to control your Qi and pass this endless river." was written on a signboard near it.

It took him 2 months to already to finally get past the river.

He soon passed 26 Other trials learning new arts implemented in his brain.
