The light shone once more, as blinding and luminous as ever, this time Adriel closed his eyes beforehand so as not to be blinded, he did not want any distraction in the battle that was to come.
While he had his eyes closed, a large amount of essence entered his body from the corpses of the Hobgoblins that were fading into particles of light and dissipating at a dizzying rate.
The essence entered his body and ran through his blood vessels and veins, strengthening and widening them, which made the blood circulate at a faster rate, after one or two laps at fast speed, they are stored deep in his cells.
He was infinitely close to a breakthrough, if he manages to defeat the next enemy, he will move on to the next rank for sure.
It's long to explain, but it actually happened in less than a second, during the instant the blinding glow lit up everything, ushering in the final battle.
The light slowly dissipated, revealing Adriel to his last obstacle to leaving this room alive.
When the blinding glow disappeared, a single figure revealed itself to Adriel.
This figure was unlike anything he had faced before, by far.
This being been over six feet tall, dwarfed in size even by Adriel, his body was so muscular and strong that the Hobgoblins looked like mere children in comparison, his skin was a light-brown color with a hint of red, a couple of 10-centimeter-long black horns adorned his head, which was filled with shoulder-length black hair, along with his dignified face and crystalline purple eyes, he actually looked quite attractive, if the fierce aura was ruled out that it emitted.
His equipment ... He wasn't actually as equipped as the Hobgoblins, he only wore a loincloth to cover his private parts and a one-handed ax.
The ax was as black as coal, from the handle to the blade, you couldn't see even the slightest hint of another color he / she, other than that, it didn't look anything special.
The problem with the ax was the light from him. The glow it emitted was on par with his sword Aurora! It was a rank 5 weapons!
"This is dangerous"
Adriel was surprised to find that he felt a great deal of danger coming from this creature!
This being been obviously a rank above him!
It was the first time that he had faced an opponent like this, after all, awakening his talent directly led him to rank A, which at this stage is extremely powerful.
Not to mention the ridiculous abilities his talent bestows upon her.
Thinking this will be a close battle, he didn't waste a second and immediately used Basic Inspection on the creature.
[Ogre Stage 3]
Class: Warrior
Essence Level: S
Abilities: High Livid, Adaptive Digestion, Advanced Ax Wielding, Essence Perception, Essence Manipulation, Hardened Skin, Regeneration, Overwhelming Force.
The Ogre was incredibly strong, not to mention his abilities, his essence level surpassed Adriel, reaching S rank, a completely new level with still unknown power!
Adriel gripped the Aurora sword and got ready, he was going to give his all in this fight, if he contained himself in the least, he is likely to lose his life here!
At this moment, the Ogre surprisingly nodded towards Adriel, only to pounce on him a second later!
Fast!
Extremely fast!
In an instant it arrived in front of Adriel and slashed towards his head, any A-rank normal being would be caught off guard and his head would instantly fly out of his body.
But not Adriel! I use Universal Control to control his body and push himself backwards, I don't try to control the Ogre, not because I couldn't, but because it wasn't profitable.
He was still inexperienced in controlling his abilities, especially in Universal Control, which is extremely difficult to use efficiently and ridiculously complicated to use, especially on living beings with an essence range, it is like having to solve complex mathematical calculations through blazing fast speeds, even with his brain evolving, he could barely handle it.
The Ogre followed Adriel with an ax in hand, wielding it with extreme precision that would put would-be lovers of ancient weapons to absolute shame.
But Adriel was prepared, in an instant he used Universal Control to control the ground beneath the giant humanoid.
Suddenly, the ground beneath the mighty creature parted, causing him to stumble and momentarily lose his balance. Adriel did not miss that moment, he appeared in front of the Ogre and cut his to his heart.
Any enemy that he faced previously would be killed by that attack, but the Ogre was different, he is a highly evolved and intelligent creature, he immediately turned to the side, narrowly avoiding the deadly attack.
However, Adriel was prepared for this, he poured a large amount of essence onto his sword and launched a lightning attack.
"Cut"
The sword pierced the mighty creature's chest, piercing his heart at last.
However, the enemy was not going to fall without a fight, it is the last moments of his life, the great Ogre brandished his ax and cut towards Adriel.
Adriel was not prepared for this and did not react fast enough, although he managed to take a step back, the ax still left a deep gash in his stomach.
With that attack, the gigantic enemy finally fell to the ground, his body cold and lifeless.
The testing ground was over.
