Chapter 49: Mature Skeleton Soldiers

{Grr}

{Grr}

{Grrr}

Looking at the several horrifying "Skeleton Soldiers" in front of him, Rewen sighed. They hadn't even walked for a minute and a slightly bigger obstacle came in their way. 'It's like those dungeon hunting games I have played. Initially after entering the dungeon, there would be a single non-human creature coming for him but slowly as I got deeper into the dungeon, the numbers and their levels increased.'

"Step back. I'll take care of them." Luna placed her hand on his shoulders. To her, they were no different from ants.

"Let me go first. I'm planning to stabilize my aura. Will that be too hard?"

"You might want to see for yourself." Luna answered with a faint smile. She was surprised seeing his determination and courage. 'After constant humiliation and defeat, he developed an inferiority complex and must have had suicidal thoughts. No wonder he charged to the previous skeleton soldier. He knew there was no way he could defeat it but still he charged disregarding any fear of death. Now that he has an unique skill, he must have gotten more confident. Well, not that it matters to me anyway'

Rewen ran towards one of the "Skeleton Soldiers" without any words. 'Good thing, the skeletons are scattered.' He saw the skeleton who was wandering dumbly suddenly adopting a fighting pose as if it still had some fighting instinct remaining.

'Interesting.' Rewen decided to change his approach.

<<G.C. Channeling>>

His speed accelerated and in less than two seconds, he came in the vicinity of the skeleton and threw a kick.

Dodged!

"How is this possible?" Rewen had an incredulous look on his face for a while but after some time, he regained his calm and moved away from the skeleton without any delay.

He stared at the skeleton wondering how to attack when Luna's voice sounded from behind. "You can't deal with that. He is stronger than the 'Skeleton Soldier' you fought."

"Stronger? Is it not a Skeleton Soldier?"

"It is a Skeleton Soldier but stronger. The one you have fought with seems to be a newborn skeleton. The ones in front of your eyes are matured. As for their POW, it shouldn't be any less than 3. Do you still intend to fight? Remember that if you intend to continue fighting, even if you are half-dead, I won't step up to help." Luna said in a plain voice.

Rewen didn't say anything.

Seeing him ignoring her words, she continued. "Bravado isn't a positive quality to have and retreat isn't a shameful thing to do when you are outclassed. We are living in an era where the strong decides everything And to be strong, you need to survi-"

"You are being too noisy. Don't tell me things I didn't ask for." Rewen interrupted her with an annoyed tone.

Luna didn't reply but her eyes flashed with coldness. 'Maybe I should dispose of him after I get that. Conceit and arrogance has filled his mind.' Despite how she behaves and acts, she had a very cold and calculating personality. If she didn't like someone, she would directly go for the kill. To achieve her goals, she is willing to go through any lengths.

Rewen was not normally a rude person to someone who was willing to help him but right now, he was in no mood to manage his behaviour. 'Alright, calm down. The first step is to control the aura. It's too far-fetched for me to think I could stabilize the aura.' Taking a deep breath, he sat down cross-legged.

'What is this kid trying to do?' Luna looked sharply.

"Haa" Rewen could sense the vigorous G.C. strings travelling in his body. The key to control the aura is to control the G.C. strings running amok across the body. 'Breathe 1...2...3' Slowly, the vigorous G.C. strings slowly settled down.

Rewen got up smiling. 'Although this didn't increase my POW, my trembling muscles which I had very little control over turned normal. Oh? They still didn't reach me? How slow can they be?'

<<G.C. Channeling>>

As if not learning his lesson, he again ran towards one of the Skeleton Soldiers beside the wall. The Skeleton Soldier like a robot took a fighting pose waiting for him for strike.

When Rewen reached the skeleton, he didn't pull any punches. Seeing him not taking any action, the skeleton itself pulled for a punch on his face. Rewen's face didn't have any emotions as if he had already anticipated this.

Dodged!

'I may not be as strong as you right now...' In the next second, Rewen was standing on the wall beside the skeleton.

Luna's eyes widened.

The skeleton from Rewen's point of view was as good as defenseless. Taking advantage of its stretched arm, he grasped its skull.

*Crack*

"But that doesn't mean I can't defeat you"

The skeleton fell.

'How can he have such an extraordinary battle sense?' Luna couldn't believe her eyes. The entire action looked simple but she knew better than most that it wasn't as simple as it looked. One slip-up and Rewen himself might have been the one kissing the ground. 'Interesting. This kid has potential.' After some thoughts, she smiled then saw Rewen coming towards her.

"My, if it weren't for the face, I would have considered becoming your lover." Luna teased.

Rewen waved his hands panting heavily. "Huff is that so? I wouldn't huff...be against it." He fell down on his butt. "Anyways, could I ask you to take care of the rest of them?"

Luna was a bit surprised at his attitude, then beamed. "You can count on me."

"No, you can't."

A male voice sounded and a figure appeared in front of their eyes. The man was good-looking with a light blonde hair and a height of 1.8 metres. He didn't have any kind of special aura around his body but had a mysterious air to him.

"So you finally showed yourself." Luna had a serious look on her face. "What do you want?"

Rewen didn't abruptly do anything. 'Don't mind me. I'm just recovering my stamina.' He didn't need to be smart to know that the guy was a bad deal.

"You know very well what I'm here for." The man calmly answered.

"He is mine. I found him first."

'Trouble. It looks like I'm someone special.' Rewen made a logical guess.

"I'll take that as the end of discussion." The man's figure flickered and took a step forward.

"Let me see how much you have grown. You owe one for the incident that year." Luna laughed and a huge katana appeared in her right hand out of nowhere.

"Hey, hey, hey! Don't start fighting! How many times do I remind both of you to not fight every time you meet!?"

Another figure appeared from the darkness. This time, it was a female. Her facial features again dumbfounded Rewen.

"Oh, Elise! I didn't start the fight."

"No, she did."

"Shut up, Tanizaki. You were the one to start."

"Both of you, shut up or I'm going to get really angry."

Rewen had a hard time trying not to laugh because the newcomer Elise had a really small and childish face. 'I shouldn't laugh. I shouldn't laugh. It might be my last laugh.'

Looking at the three mighty-looking people bickering with each other, Rewen sighed. 'It looks like it's going to be a long night.'
