Chapter 10: Ending of Expedition

***

[Sub-Class Chest, Opened!!]

[Choose between the three Sub-Classes:

-Assassin

-Cultivator

-Martial Artist]

'Hmm.... What should I choose?' I thought, resting my thump on my chin.

'System, Give me the details of all this Sub-Classes.' I asked the System.

[—Sub-Class: Assassin___

—It is a Sub-Class specialising in assassination, ....The wielder of the Sub-Class: Assassin, increases +20 Attack, +20 Agility, +10 Intelligent and affinity toward Darkness!]

[—Sub-Class: Cultivator___

—It is a Sub-Class, that goes against the will of Heaven, Cultivator's walk on to the path, that seek's Profound Strength and Infinite Longevity, It also seek's the truth of Immortality through Qi, ....The wielder of Sub-Class: Cultivator, increases +30 Attack, +20 Defense, +20 Health, It also grants you the affinity toward Yin and Yang!]

[—Sub-Class: Martial Artist___

—It is a Sub-Class, where one studies, practices, develops, and creatively expresses the tools, techniques, and skills to face adversity and end conflict – from the inner battle up to and including a physical confrontation, ....The wielder of Sub-Class: Martial Artist, increases +30 Strength, +30 Attack,+20 Defense, +10 Health!]

Hmmm

Interesting Interesting, If I was someone that wanted want easy way out, I could have definitely chosen Cultivator, But actually, there is a huge disadvantage, hidden in it.

The word [It also seek's the truth of Immortality through Qi] made me instantly reject this Sub-Class.

(A/N: Sorry, Cultivator supporters, No Cultivation, atleast for now..)

I have also watched dozen of Cultivation animation, The most basic thing a Cultivator needed to increase it's power is Qi or any energy form that refines there merdian, dantian and soul.

I don't think, In a world of mana and Magic... there will be any energy form to Cultivate the Strength or Immortality of Cultivator or could there be any Techniques to help me in Cultivation.

And as for choosing Martial Artist, It also has an very eye catching advantages... But I already have Shinobi class, while I have basically gotten alot of Tai Jutsu, from Madara... which is same alike Martial Arts.

Also, though the buff Martial Artist was providing was definitely desirable, I couldn't be foolish enough to try and get a useless Class for a stats I could gain.

So, It only leaves me with the Assassin, though it didn't provided many buff to my Stats comparing with other two Sub-Classes, it gave me a increase of +20 Attack, +20 Agility, +10 Intelligent and affinity toward Darkness.

And, Being an Rank 1: Assassin in my previous life. I can without much of a training can be familiar with this Class, as I don't have to waste my time being familiar with my new Class and this affinity with Darkness also caught my interest.

[Player, Which Sub-Class do you choose?]

Finally, making my decision, ....I choose the Assassin.

[Player, choose the Sub-Class: Assassin]

[+20 Attack!]

[+20 Agility!]

[+10 Intelligence!]

[Player has gained affinity toward Darkness!!]

As the notification rang, I felt my whole body getting alot lighter then before, while I felt my mind completely refreshed.

While, Observing my body, There weren't any changes with my Outer appearance.. But I could say my body has changed alot innerly.

[Player, A Unique Feather has unlocked!! :Sub-Class Fusion!]

[Does Player want to use it?]

Huh? Sub-Class Fusion, What is it?

'Yes.' I approved curiously, as an golden holographic frame appeared before my eyes.

[Sub Class: Swordsman and Assassin have an affinity for Fusion!]

[—Sub-Class Fusion

—Swordsman (Sub-Class) + Assassin(Sub-Class) = Shadow Swordsmen (Unique Class)!]

[Does Player want to Fuse this two Sub-Classes, to acquire an Unique Class?]

'First, Show me the detail of Shadow Swordsmen.'

[—Unique Class: Shadow Swordsmen

—An Unique Class, A hybrid Class of Assassin and Swordman with control over Darkness and Shadow, ....The wielder of this Class can manipulate Darkness and Shadow by his will, like creating Shadow Armour for shielding your body, creating Shadow Sword or some unique abilities like engulfing your entire body into Shadow, ....With this Class, Wherever there is Darkness, more the chances of you dominating your enemy increases.]

(A/N: Control over Shadow and Darkness, will be with how much mastery you have with the class.)

'Wow, That's some legit abilities... It is like being an Assassin, but using a Sword instead of usual Daggers or Poison.'

'Fuse'... I calmly tapped the option.

[Fusion is in process... 16%... 39%... 57%... 74%... 89%... 97%... 100%!]

[Unique Class: Shadow Swordsmen, Acquired!]

Looking at my stats, I was both satisfied and unsatisfied.

I was happy, with getting this Class: Shadow Swordsmen, also the affinity toward Darkness.

But my Stats was all imbalance, There were no balance between my stats.. Though my Attack has reached 42, my defense was only at 15... If I can't defend my body properly, How can having a strong Attack Power be any advantageous to me, if the enemy were too be on my equal.

Now, I should probably focus on balancing my stats before, focusing on any futher advancement.

"Young Lord, We all are ready now to continue the Hunt? Will you continue your rest or departure with us?" I heard my Captain Knight questioning from outside the tent.

"I will be coming, Of course!" I said, while quickly getting up from my bed.

...

Soon, after packing the tents, we began to march forward... as soon we encountered an Goblin Village.

"Young Lord, What should we do?" asked Dave, while Katherine and Henry behind him, waiting for my thoughts.

"Hey Guys, Can I please take on this Goblins myself?" I requested, as I wanted to test my newly formed power.

"Aren't ya exhausted by that previous battle? Are ya sure ya can take them?" asked Henry.

"Young Lord, Although they are just weak Goblin, I think there quantity is a little too much for you too handle." said Katherine with alittle worrisome voice, as it was true the Goblin Village infront of me, should atleast contain two hundred Goblins.

"Don't worry Katherine, When I fought with the Ogre Sorcerer before.. I learned some new tricks, I want to try it out."

"And, even if I am in danger... I trust in you guys, I am sure you guys can save me, if a danger to me were ever to be arised." I said, giving a bright smile, as they just couldn't argue with me anymore.

"Then please be careful, Young Lord."

"Sure, I will... Then I am going." I said, as I began to walk forward the Goblin Village.

"‹Lesser Strength›"

"‹Lesser Dexterity›" I suddenly felt my body alittle stronger, as I looked toward Nord.

[+10 Strength (temporarily)]

[+10 Agility (temporarily)]

"Atleast take my buff with you, Young Lord." said Nord, while I gave him a thankful nod.

...

Then, quickly dashing forward... I reached the Gate of the Goblin Village.

"Gaagaa!!"

"Gegaa Gahahah!"

I saw two Goblin gate keeper's chatting, when I swiftly ran forward.

"‹Shadow Possession›" I quietly spoke, as my whole body got engulfed by my Darkness, as I immediately appeared at the Shadow of the Gatekeeper.

"‹Shadow Slash›!" jumping out from the shadow of the Goblin, while my entire right hand was wrapped with Darkness, as the Darkness quickly take the shape of an Sword!, As, I skillfully cut down the Goblin.

While, the Goblin died without even knowing how he was killed.

"Guhaaaaa!"

While the Goblin next to him, screamed out loudly, making the whole Goblin in the Village alert.

As, soon.... I saw a huge horde of Goblins coming toward him.

'Damn... 100, 200.. 300? Fuck how can there be this many Goblins, I guess.. Today is the International Goblin Slaying Day."

I joked to myself, while... without a hint of fear, I dashed toward the horde of the Green Goblins.

[<Ghost of Uchiha> placed a Quest... Massacre all the enemies, Reward: ‹Sharingan›!]

[<King of Heroes> is hoping for some more entertainment!]

[<I'm not Freezer!> is finally interested in you!]

[Dave PoV]

"This is insane!" were the only word, I could shout out, while my teammates also having the same reaction as me.

As, he without any fear in his eyes... charged forward the Monster Horde, that was consisted of more then 300 Goblins, while he on the other hand was solo from his side.

And to not my surprise, the movement he clashed with the Horde... He began using a weird Magic, his entire body were covered in darkness, while his sword was also covered with darkness... as he ruthlessly began swinging his sword against the Goblins one by one.

Even in my whole time as an Adventurer, I have never seen such an event like this occur before.

Alard von Auguste, He was only a Child at the age of 10, but the things he have done today, are something I will never forget in my whole life.

A 10 year old, being a 2nd-tier... was already shocking enough.

But the calmness he was showing, when facing the Horde of Monster, the coldness his eye was radiating, the way he was killing every Goblin ruthlessly.

It was like the God of Death himself had appeared in this world... while he was giving his divine punishment to this Goblins Village!

Alard, without a shed of fear or mercy, was single-handley massacring the entire Horde of Goblins!

[Henry PoV]

'Damn, I didn't thought... This Noble brat could be this powerful!!'

'I guess not everyone with nobleborn status are Pig's.' I thought, as I gazed at Alard von Auguste, the 3rd Son of House Viscount of Auguste.

That kid who was only 10, was now... right infront of ma eyes, he like a War God, was destroying his enemies, with with a overwhelming power.

Every time he raised his Sword, Heads flew in the air.

Everytime he slashed his Sword, blood painted the ground red.

He like a War God, stood straight in the Battlefield, yet looking down on everything he viewed... while he ripped, crushed, chopped every enemies down without any mercy.

***

[Katherine PoV]

'Am I in love?'

I questioned myself, looking at the young man infront of me.

Alard von Auguste, a noble born with an charming face, gentle personality and cute eyes.

At first, When I met him... I just thought of seducing him and becoming his mistress and living my life in complete luxury.

As, Being an Adventurer was fun and all, with the earnings I earned also being satisfying.

But still, with being an Adventurer, I also always had to worry about losing my life.

Being am Adventurer, means having to always risk your life, So when I met a young, charming and likable noble-born like Alard.

I thought, Why not just seduce him.. and become his mistress and live my life like a noble.

Although Alard was only ten now, I can definitely tell he will grow up into being a Adonis, when he becomes adult.

So, I was okay with being his mistress, as why risk my life and be a Adventurer, If I can just seduce a ten-year old boya, and live a life full of luxuries.

As, Even a Mistress of Nobles get better lifestyle then an Mithril-Ranked Adventure like me.

But...

All of this was changed now, As I see ahh~ that cold face of his, It was completely opposite to his usual innocent face.

Everytime he swung his Sword, I could feel my heart beating quicker, my cheeks turning hotter, while I just couldn't take my eyes of his cold face.

He just keep on killing and killing and killing, while his eyes didn't show alittle bit of mercy.

Even if the enemy were Monster, the way they scream in agony and wail when there nearby people die by Alard Sword.

Even made me feel a little sympathetic for them, and same could be said to everyone present here with me.

But still, when this all was happening, I just couldn't help but just look at that cold face of Alard, while keep questioning myself.

'Have I really fallen in love?'

[Alard PoV]

"‹Shadow Slash› Die!" killing the last Goblin, I finally finally wiped put the whole Horde.

"Hah! Hah!"

'I am tired!' I thought, as I breathe heavily, while I looked at the gore I created.

I could see Goblins dead corpses lying everywhere, in all four direction, as there blood painted the whole Battlefield.

"I really went overboard." I thought, when a message popped infront of me.

[<Ghost of Uchiha> is laughing with the show you showed!]

[<Ghost of Uchiha>, want to give you ‹Sharingan›!]

[Do you accept?]
