Malvoid walked slowly and surely; each of his steps echoed in the place as if he were alone.

His sword was clutched in his hand. His scars shone in the dark.

And then he heard voices.

He gazed in front of him.

There, adventurers ran toward him shouting. And there were hundreds of skeletons behind them.

This kid looks familiar... They’re the other young adventurers I saved before.

Then Malvoid saw a piece of cloth tied around the head, which covered his face. As soon as they passed him, Malvoid was in a swordsman posture.

Then he spoke.

"Stop and observe."

He didn’t shout, but they heard him. The lady stopped and turned.

The swordsman turned as well and saw her, which glanced at Malvoid.

Then the lady smiled.

Is it him?

The tanker stopped as well and they all looked at Malvoid.

"For sure, they’re all those kids," he whispered. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The skeletons were approaching. Meanwhile, Malvoid closed his eyes and made a complete abstraction of the world, in high mental concentration. As soon as the skeletons were near him,

[Instant Boost activated]

He disappeared.

He was moving so rapidly.

His speed had increased exponentially.

At that moment, he cut down all the skeletons toward his direction and breathed out a corrosive green gas.

Then the young adventurers ran to assist him. The lady cast spells.

"Fireball,"

bombarding skeletons one after the other. The swordsman was in front.

A skeleton raised its rusted sword; he cleared its arm and cut off its collarbone. At that moment, he gazed at them and smiled.

They have improved a lot.

And the massacre continued. After that, the young adventurers came near him and said,

"Master, you saved us, thank you."

They were approaching him. Malvoid moved backward.

"I’m not your master."

He acted as if he had never known them. Then the lady bent her head in despair.

Her facial expression darkened.

As she lifted her head slowly, she whispered,

"Sorry, for taking you for another person."

Then Malvoid exhaled slowly

But he thought being a professor was not bad. He also wanted to know their limits and where they could reach.

"But I can help you all to be safe here..."

Then he held his chin.

"But how did you people manage to be here?"

The lady immediately said,

"My name is Lili. Me and my friends cleared the second sector and we went to the black space to continue, but... We got transferred here."

Malvoid nodded. Immediately, they all introduced themselves. The tanker spoke with confidence,

"I’m Frank, the tank of the team."

And the swordsman took a glorious posture.

"Me, I’m Solly, a swordsman, a supporter, and the best of all."

As soon as Solly said that, Malvoid bent his neck. A cracking sound was heard.

In my memories he wasn’t like this... He was calm.

But Solly was indirectly sending a message to him.

I will copy all your techniques and surpass you... Master... or... professor.

Then the lady introduced herself once more.

"I’m Lili, the mage."

Then Malvoid stood erect and an overwhelming pressure radiated from him. The young adventurers felt weird.

Then he spoke.

"I’m Malvoid... but for now call me simply professor."

They all nodded quickly and simultaneously. Then he smiled maliciously under his mask.

The training I reserved for you will be like hell itself.

But the timer never waits for any man.

[Warning: 3:40:00 until decomposition]

"So follow me."

They followed him.

Then three skeletons were approaching. Malvoid stood behind.

"Take them down."

Immediately, Solly ran toward them. Lili shot a fireball. And Frank was ready to defend Lili.

Two mere skeletons.

Solly arrived at them. He made it as if he was about to fall.

The skeletons threw slash.

He dodged.

And he gritted his teeth.

His muscle strengthen.

A horizontal slash.

He turned, the skull hit the ground.

See me.

Meanwhile the fireball exploded on a skeleton 15 meters away from Solly. Malvoid smiled and clapped his hands.

"Not bad, not bad. It’s a 4/10."

They stared at him. And in their thoughts:

A 4/10!

"Now let’s commence the training.

You all come and defeat your lovely professor."

Lili swallowed her saliva.

Frank was trembling.

But Solly ran toward him in fury.

And Malvoid put his sword to the ground. Solly, near him, did his falling move, but Malvoid immediately punched him in the stomach.

The guy vomited blood and was moved 1 meter above the ground, 5 meters away.

"Oops..."

He looked at his fist and smiled.

This is a good way to release stress.

Malvoid glanced at them.

He fell like a bag of cement, lying on the ground, stagnant as a lake.

Lili stared at Solly and said,

"Professor, it’s not that extreme."

Immediately, Malvoid took a step.

"Practice is more efficient than theory."

The next second his punch was approaching Frank’s face.

What is this? Is it a punch?

But Malvoid deviated his punch and boxed his stomach.

Frank’s armor broke.

He vomited blood and fainted.

Malvoid turned slowly toward Lili, his eyes shone red. Lili fled away. She was running, but Malvoid was waiting for her in front. She was shocked.

He is fast.

Fireball.

The ground cracked.

And he dodged the attack.

Immediately Lili covered her eyes.

But Malvoid just gave her a little slap.

"You passed the test... always flee if the enemy is stronger and use tricks."

He moved 5 meters to his left and sat on a stone.

"Now wake up your friends with water magic."

She obeyed and threw water on them. They suddenly woke up.

Solly slowly stood up with difficulty.

I feel pain in my entire body.

Then Frank woke up and immediately said, "What happened?" And he felt an intense pain.

Then Malvoid held his head with his right hand.

"It’s never good to fight an opponent stronger than yourself. Use tricks or flee."

They nodded. "Do you people have healing potions?"

They nodded and Malvoid got excited.

He removed small rocks from the ground and threw them on the ground.

"You all will carry it. If I touch you, you are eliminated."

Then he showed his fist. "I will send you to sleep... Eliminate all the skeletons you see... My intervention is a complete elimination for you all... Start."

As soon as he said that, they all carried the small rocks, about 50 kg. Lili had difficulty and her leg sank into stagnant water. She fell to the ground.

And Frank sent her a hand.

She woke up and they continued. Solly was in front of them, 6 meters ahead. At that moment Malvoid was doing his push-ups.

201... 203... 205.

[Your Strength has increased by 1]

He stopped. "Now I start."

Solly felt the pain. His head was vibrating.

I need to pass this test.

Then a skeleton trainee was in front of him. He realized the rock.

And took a swordsman posture.

The two moved toward each other.

Solly swung left and right.

The skeleton dodged.

And threw a horizontal slash. It almost touched him, 1.2 cm away from his eyes. Solly instinctively stepped behind.

He breathed in and retained his respiration. His heart beat faster.

He strengthened his entire body.

He made a step, the ground cracked.

And immediately threw a slash. It was inevitable.

Solly cleaved the skeleton into two equal parts.

Then he breathed out mist. Suddenly, he felt so tired.

He put a knee to the ground, breathing heavily.

How far did I go?

He moved up and picked up the rock and advanced into the sector.

10 meters behind Solly, Lili and Frank were together helping each other.

Then they saw skeletons with rusted swords clutched in their bony hands.

They instantly released the rock to the ground.

Lili was already casting a spell.

Frank went to close contact.

There were 3 skeletons. They threw slashes at random.

Frank blocked them all with his shield. Then Lili shouted, "Move away."

He moved and a big fireball bombarded them.

She held her knees, breathing heavily. Meanwhile, Frank didn’t have a single sweat on his face.

She used almost all her mana... Now it’s time for me to help her in the attack.

Frank said, "Are you alright, Lili?"

She said, "Do... I... have to answer that question?"

He shook his head negatively. Then he carried the two rocks together and spoke.

"Rest for a minute... I can do the two."

On the other hand, Malvoid was 100 meters away from them.
