*shing shing*
Alpheus' daggers and Voldura's arms met and clashed so powerful, it blew the snow away. Alpheus suddenly lost focus and... Bang! A punch to the face blew Alpheus away.
Alpheus bolted its way to Voldura to hopelessly miss all of his slash. "Boy, you're too slow." Voldura said and upper-cuts Alpheus and ended it with a kick.
Alpheus blew away as he hit and collapsed a small hill. He wiped the blood on his mouth, "This won't do." Alpheus said, "Then..."
Alpheus disappeared like a shadow, only to appear behind Voldura, *slash* a hit on the back. "Hyaah!" Voldura punched but Alpheus disappeared quickly.
"This is..." Voldura was again speechless, "Shadow Dance. An epic-level Shadow skill, impressive." Voldura is impressed.
Shadow Dance makes you one with the shadows and erases all your killing intent and presence. Combined with Thunder Storm, it's a perfect assassination combination!
"That's not the only one." Alpheus said within the shadow.
*Woosh*
Multiple Alpheus' appeared out of nowhere. There was about five of them, "Let's finish this!" said the five Alpheus' and disappeared within the shadows..
"That was... Shadow Golems. With a human body, it's too perfect!" Voldura was again, jawdropped.
"Hellooo." Alpheus appeared behind Voldura but Voldura punched him only to disappear once again. "Wrong move!" Alpheus appeared below as he slashed straight through Voldura but he wan't cut in half.
Voldura, who was floating mid-air, bled, "Any minute now." Voldura said then puked blood.
Shadow Golems or Golems in particular, are non-intelligent, slow moving monsters. There are golems in each elements, having a special trait of their own. Though most of them are robust, if perfected, can take a human's form and moves at the user's speed.

Five Alpheus then appeared in front of Voldura, perfectly aligned. All walking in the same pace, they ran together as they held both Twin Fang Crystal on each hands of one Alpheus.
*Swoosh*
All Alpheus disappeared to appear in all directions of Voldura. Voldura, surpsrised by the strategy, didn't have time to defend. He lets his guard down when five Alpheus' was walking normally.
He thought then shouted, "It's already been a minute! If you don't stop now, you'll be depleting a huge amount of mana. You could die, how is this possible!".
*shing shing shing*
The five Alpheus striked Voldura, "Fang Crystal Massacre!" shouted by all the Alpheus. Voldura, who's eyes were wide, gushed out a lot of blood and fell on the ground.
Alpheus' shadows disappeared and walked slowly to Voldura, "It wasn't enought to kill you, you know?" Alpheus said.
"H-how, it's been already a minute. Yet, you were freely able to use up a lot of your mana on different kinds of magic." Voldura said, shocked.
Alpheus stood up, "Did you know.." and looked at Voldura, "I have infinite mana?"
Voldura's eyes widened as he laughed bitterly on Alpheus' joke, "Don't kid me, you're no God!" Voldura said.
"I don't care if you believe me or not." Alpheus said and puts his hand on Voldura's chest. Instantly, Voldura's wound all disappered, "Do I deserve the blessing, or not?" Alpheus said.
Voldura sat down, the same as Alpheus, "Yes, you are." Voldura said, "Reach out your hand."
Alpheus said exactly as what Voldura said and wrote a weird pattern on Alpheus' hands, 'Can you copy these?" Alpheus thought to Lady Tutorial
[No, it's Voldura's own language, so I can't even translate it]
Alpheus slightly frowned and when Voldura finished the pattern, a glow suddenly apperaed on the hands, only for the pattern to disappear, "That's it?" Alpheus asked.
"Try Alfheim" Voldura said with crosed arms.
Alpheus stood up and concentrated, "Alfheim" he said in a faint voce. *wooosh* Alpheus' eyes became ice-blue and the power he felt from it was incredible.
Alpheus already took off Alfheim since it's already dangerous... why? Well....
"I'll go now" Alpheus said and waved a goodbye
"Yeah, see ya." Voldura said with a slight smile. Alpheus disappered and Voldura thought, "That kid will trample the world.
Alpheus' backyard...
Alpheus, who's eyes closed, returned to the real world. But... the moment Alpheus stood up. bang. He fell down.
In shock, he thought to Lady Tutorial, "W-what happened to me?" Alpheus was confused yet also in pain.
[You may have Infinite Magic but your body can't handle the toll you've given it on the fight with Voldura]
[I recommend not to use any special skills for the next month since it may take a big toll on your body]
"I see..." Alpheus thought with a big sigh and fell asleep because of fatigue...
Back to the Present Day...
Alpheus was still staring on the ceiling when he thought of what Lady Tutorial and Voldura said, "Lady, what is an Epic-level skill? I didn't know skills has rankings." Alpheus mumbledd.
[Skills are split into 7 parts: Normal, Rare, Super Rare, Epic, Legend, Mythic and Celestial]
"So... what rank is Alfheim?" Alpheus curiously asked.
[Alfheim is a Legend-rank skill]
Alpheus stood up in shock, "So... Silvia.." Alpheus thought of Silvia but shrugged it off, " I probably shouldn't show the special skills in public. I think it's better if I just use the normal ones for now."
Alpheus thought as he remembered the white plain selections. He remembered selecting a race... and he remembered the elves. 'What if I chose a different race, where would I be right now' Alpheus thought.
Lady Tutorial explained this world is 100 times larger then Earth. There are thousands of influential countries, not just 1 or 2 like back on Earth.
There are also countries that Humans don't rule and there are a lot of them. Humans are not the dominant species alone, the other 4 dominant races too. Humans, Demonkind, Beastman, Elves, and Spirits live in harmony.
In where Alpheus lived, other races are rare, if they do see one; it would just be a tourist. "I wish I could see an elf soon." Alpheus imagined as the pointy ear and the charm elves give on video games, "sooo pretty!"
