This time it was not the sound of the system, but the sound produced when two weapons collide.
"Give up all defense and focus on attacking!" William ordered the skeletons.
Currently, less than two dozen skeletons had survived facing Travis, while William was in terrible shape with cuts almost everywhere.
10 minutes had passed since Travis had appeared, and all of William's skeletons had attacked from a distance and when he was out of mana, they sacrificed their "lives" to slow Travis' movements, and try in the process. to inflict some damage on it.
Travis couldn't dodge so many attacks, even though he was in rank (C-). He could only minimize the damage and counterattack as best he could.
When the quantity reached a certain threshold, then a qualitative change occurred!
His end therefore came soon after having suffered the attack of several hundred ranks (D-).
[Display of Travis' health and mana.]
HP: 5903/101 280
MP: 329/21 312
Among the twenty or so living skeletons were mainly archers, a few skeleton warriors and Kent.
The Master Swordsman and Master of Martial Arts had already died several times, but William could no longer summon them due to lack of mana.
5 Skeleton Swordsmen and William charged towards Travis, while from behind, Kent supported with various bonuses he could apply through his mastery of magic.
Notably his wind magic which had saved William's life more than once.
Kent could also boost the speed of the arrows at any time, surprising Travis and dealing damage from time to time.
The arrows came quickly towards Travis but he simply dodged them by twisting his body. A few arrows could no longer threaten Travis.
The 5 rank (D +) skeleton swordsmen simultaneously attacked Travis, but he was so fast that he was able to avoid or block all incoming attacks.
The next moment his second sword sliced through all the nearby skeletons one by one.
[Skeleton swordsman (D +) deceased.]
[Please wait 24 hours before you can re-summon it.]

...
William tightened his resolve and suddenly accelerated towards Travis. He suddenly appeared in front of Travis.
"4th movement: Divine Execution! William whispered. William had been waiting for this moment since the start of the fight, and had therefore minimized his mana consumption from the start in order to initiate this move.
However, Travis was still too fast, the sword in his right hand going towards William's neck, while the sword in his left hand would block William's at a strategic point.
William could do absolutely nothing, his speed was already used to the maximum, he could only see the sword of Travis gradually approaching his neck.
However, at the critical moment, William felt a strong draft push him sharply to his right.
The next moment, William felt a tremendous pain in his left shoulder.
He noticed directly that he no longer had any sensation of his left arm, it had been directly cut at the root.
But William gritted his teeth and continued his movement.
The mana gathered on his sword now exuded an extremely dominant presence.
As Travis's sword crossed with William's, another current of air suddenly accelerated the speed of William's sword.
The sword went directly in front of Travis' sword without Travis being able to intercept anything.
He tried to back away, but was unsuccessful. William's sword was already making contact with his skeletal body.
* boooooom *
An explosion of unprecedented intensity erupted from William's sword.
Travis had just suffered an attack that could destroy half of a capital, even when carried out from afar.
So when used in close combat, the intensity of this attack could only be more powerful.
Travis was directly wiped out, as William was propelled several miles instantly before starting to slow down, repeatedly resurrecting skeletons to slow him behind his back.
However, even with that, when his back collided in the red sand, another explosion occurred.
Kent, accompanied by the surviving archers, immediately approached William's position.
When the dust cleared it was possible to see William lying in the sand, with a missing arm and blood covering his entire body, but he still had a slight smile and he didn't seem to be in a rush to get up.
Indeed several notifications rang in his mind:
Ding
[Detected that the host has destroyed a skeleton camp.]
[The host will receive a construction token (camps) as a reward.]
[Detected that the host destroyed a skeleton camp on his own when he was only at rank (D).]
[Awarded: Aura of Genius.]
[Genius aura: The host's aura will gain a special characteristic, allowing it to intimidate even higher rank enemies, while ranks equal to or below the host will no longer even be able to stand up.]
[Detected that the host has defeated a rank higher than their own at rank (D)
[Evolution of the title: Breaker of limits.]
[Limit Breaker: Increased stats by 50%. The higher the ranks, the more the difficulty of overcoming the difference between each rank is increased, so the reward is also increased.]
[Detected that the camp leader, the Skeleton Duelist has been defeated. Soul available]
[1,000,000 (+500,000) exp received.]
Ding
Level increased.
"Ah life is so good lying here, I feel like I could spend my life here…" William said nonchalantly as he gazed at the cloudless red sky above him.
This scene lasted for a while until the adrenaline of the fight wore off completely and the pain erupted in its entirety.
William gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, he felt like thousands of ants were invading his body, his bones had been broken, his organs damaged, blood was gushing from his missing arm, if he still had his body of a few weeks ago he would have already died.
However, the vitality of a rank (D) was extremely astonishing, and that of William through stat bonuses was even more astonishing.
Two heat flows were going through his body, one was from his stamina stat points and was used to regenerate his body, while the other was from leveling up, as well as the evolution of the title which was strengthening to a large extent. his body.
The pain gradually subsided, and after an hour, William had already regenerated 2/3 of his hp, while his arm had also grown back.
"Is that it really hurt like hell." Fortunately, this kind of fight shouldn't happen again in a short period of time. "
He stood up and walked over to where he had confronted Travis.
"I wonder how big the 3rd floor is, if I had used this attack in the 2nd floor, anyone inside would have definitely heard me, but there I have no news from my supreme generals, so that means they are not nearby. "
But thinking back to the start of the fight with Travis, William had a few cold sweats.
"Really, Travis is no joke, even though he's weakened my 432 skeletons have all died on several occasions except Kent and a few archers. "
"If it was humans instead of skeletons, it would be a slaughterhouse, with blood covering several miles. "
"Not to mention that it would never have been possible to defeat Travis, because humans fear death, unlike skeletons. "
William continued to move closer, thinking about his fight and examining it.
Soon enough, he could see a black flame much bigger than any other, floating in the air a few hundred yards from him.
William did not hesitate, and directly conveyed his intention to take control of Travis' soul.
This one didn't resist at all, or rather couldn't resist, for William was the Soul King, his talent was the best in the universe, and that's what he was most talented about.
Of course no matter how strong or talented the person is, when it's a soul in front of William it's just a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
Travis' black fire was embedded in the shadows within seconds.
"Great, now with a rank (C) like Travis it should be a lot easier to subdue those Wood Wolves. Since their boss had so much fun crushing me to death, let's see how he goes through this kind of experience himself. William smiled coldly.
Nobody can blame him, at the age of 16 he was crushed to death by a little wolf, who could stand it?
Ding
[Warning to the host…]
[The Mastery of Twin Swords skill will be copied from Travis' skeleton, and will be integrated into the host's mind and body.]
The next moment, various information about the use of two swords simultaneously appeared in William's mind. William's body was also undergoing a slight transformation, as wielding two swords at the same time required a suitable body, which would normally be forged through training.
And the higher the mastery of twin swords, the more particular the body was, as certain muscles usually unnecessary for most people were essential when performing twin swords. Without a suitable body, the power when performing the twin swords would have decreased significantly.
Of course, William had nothing to do except wait a few seconds.
After waiting long enough, William had mastered all of the basic movements of wielding the twin swords, the exact same ones that had wiped out almost all of William's skeletons.
There was also another advantage that William could feel.
"I feel like I can think of two things at the same time, without the thought of one thing affecting the other thought. "
Indeed, William's mind was endowed with another ability. While this is not uncommon among humans and is not considered a talent, when this ability reaches a certain level it will definitely be amazing whether in its application in everyday life or in combat.
Especially when performing Twin Swords, now William's opponents will feel like they are facing 2 William at the same time.
So William's regular combat power comes straight from being increased at least 2 times when using a sword.
"Unfortunately I don't have a technique suitable for twin swords yet, so my maximum power is not affected much, maybe only increased by 10 to 20%. William thought a little sadly.
If others heard his thoughts, they would definitely be angry. After all, William could already compete for the invincible title at the same rank, so receive a 10-20% increase in combat power so simply. It was extremely overkill.
"At least I didn't get that after defeating Travis, normally that stuff should be there." William said, glancing at his inventory.
"Great, it's there! "
