A wide grin crept into his face as Shiva stretched his gaseous white hand forward and said

"<SOUL REAP>"

All the confidence talk that he had with Ares. it was because of this skill, It was a skill that he relayed on to defeat Ares more specifically to make him disappear from that space.

A white fog left his body and surrounded the already gaseous body of Ares.

Old Sage: {Wait boy!}

He tried to say something to warn him but it was already too late.

Ares: {hahahaha, This is funny!}

he moved his arm as if he was brushing off dust from his tuxedo.

{You want to capture my Soul? Me, One of the Twelve Soul generals? haha...I don’t know if I have to get mad or laugh at you}

He laughed as if he saw a child shooting him with bare hands pretending to be a gun.

Ding!

<The activation skill ’Soul Reap’ has been failed as the opponent is much more powerful than you!>

Even the system responded with the notification.

Shiva’s face went pale seeing the system prompt.

{Did you really think that a simple trick like that would work against me}

Are smiled as he flew closer to Shiva.

{Now that you have started it, let me return the favor}

Ares raised his hand and made a fist.

{Well...I don’t want to kill you since god knows how long it would take for one more participant to appear}

He talked as if he didn’t see Shiva even as a bug in his eyes.

He changed his fist and pressed his middle finger against the thumb.

Flick!

he flicked Shiva’s forehead...

Swish!!

The impact was huge!

Shiva’s soul flew off to a distance as a result, he felt like his head was exploding even though he didn’t have a body now.

a gaseous foam escaped from his already gaseous body and he passed out.

{Well, there is still one year! take your sweet time..hoho}

Ares went somewhere smiling drifting through the sky.

*****

blink! blink!

Shiva blinked his eyes as he got up...well he was already floating in the air...

’fu*k it, everything went wrong!’

He was completely dependent on the skill to fight against that damned goat but now that the skill failed, he no longer had any means to Win.

’Will I really die like this?’ He thought seeing his body which had collapsed in the distance.

Old sage {You really are stupid, kid!}

The old sage said as he noticed Shiva has regained consciousness.

"Shut the fuc* up old man, I am already very much pissed"

{You stupid brat! see the notifications before flaring at me}

"huh?"

Shiva opened his notifications as a surprise waiting for him.

<The activation skill ’Soul Reap’ has been failed as the opponent is much more powerful than you!>

<The rating of the skill ’Soul Reap’ is revealed>

<The skill is updated>

<The attempt of capturing the Soul general has increased soul proficiency by 25%>

--------------------------------

<Soul Reap>

rank- A

proficiency - 25%

As the embodiment of death, you are always be related to the dead, you can reap the soul of the living or dead alike. The target has to be weaker than you or at least doesn’t reject the skill, for it to work.

Mana usage 5,000

cooldown: one day.

----------------------------------

Previously when he obtained the Skill, it didn’t have a rank, and even many of his skills didn’t have rank. he just thought that they can’t be further evolved but it seems there was something like a hidden condition that he wasn’t aware of.

"What does anything it have anything do with the quest?"

Of course it was a good thing that he found out about this. but what was the use if he was going to end up dead?

{You sure are as dumb as ever!} It was Nicholas this time who proved him.

Old Sage: {Think about it brat! It’s right that you couldn’t capture him for now. but what if you increased your skill proficiency, if you manage to rank up to S rank or probably SS rank may be then you could do it}

"Ohh!!" Shiva exclaimed at the Sage as he found the idea possible.

{Beside, you can only dream about winning against him in a brawl}

Well that was true too...

"But How can I increase the proficiency.!!" When he was pondering about that he remembered about the creatures he saw when he entered the dungeon.

Old Sage: {seems like you finally understood...hehehe}

"hehehe"

Nicholas: {These two creeps...}

****

(Somewhere in the 10th floor)

William was standing in front of a grave. the soil seemed fresh as if the grave was just made.

It was the Grave of the Trinity’s Descendent who left the world.

He thought about handing over the corpse to his guild but chose not to when he remembered the sad look on Sanak’s face he mentioned the name of his father.

He was too kind to just leave the corpse there so he took it with him to a deserted pace deep inside the forest and buried him their.

"May your soul rest in peace"

He prayed in front of the grave and took out the map that he was given.

He thought that the reward for winning would be something grand but to think it was only a map?

"was he lying?", but there was no need for a dead man to lye to a stranger. so he erased those thoughts and opened the map.

---------------------------------

<Lost map of the Origin>

A map made by ’Unknown’, when used randomly reveal the place of any one of the eleven Origin stones, that have not been acquired by any climbers yet.

----------------------------------

"what!!?"

William blinked repeatedly seeing the map in his hand. It had a extremally simple use but the result would be magnumus.
