Kaze, for a fact, didn't know how to fight.
That's understandable given that he'd never fought before, but the Emperor became known as the greatest not because of his sheer strength, but because of his cruelty in crushing the enemy's hope and destroying their soul before the battle even began. He had earned the moniker 'The Devil Strategist' for his battle tactics and war management.
And now Kaze had his legacy, his experiences. Despite the fact that he didn't have any of the Emperor's memories and thus he didn't know any of the tactics that the Emperor had used, he had something much greater, an experience of a thousand years as a grand strategist.
With just this, he could devise schemes that would put his enemies in a far worse state than the Emperor could. And that's exactly what he planned to do; he was one of those who believed that if they had the wits, why use the brawl?
He squinted his eyes and tried to spot any flaws in the spiders, but he was met with a much better surprise.

If the level difference between host and target is more than 100 levels, some information may be sealed. Upgrade system level for more information. > <20 Xp awarded for unlocking skill> [Xp 20/100] Kaze appeared surprised that by simply using this skill, he could gain information on anyone or anything, and that in a battle, just knowing who your opponent is can be enough to turn the tide. And that wasn't all; by simply upgrading his system, he could get even more information. But, while he was preoccupied with the possibilities of his new skill, the two spiders had no intention of allowing their prey even a moment of rest, and they both pounced on him from opposite sides, giving their lunch no chance to flee. But Kaze had thousands of years of combat experience, and no one could distract him in a battle. He couldn't take his gaze away from the spiders. He never ignored them; he was simply plotting his next move when something unusual occurred. Kaze began moving his right hand's fingers in a wave-like motion as if juggling a coin through them, and a strangely evil grin began to form on his face, which was displaying an expression other than his usual calm demeanor for the first time. As the two spiders approached to pounce on him, his lips curled a little to the right, forming a smirk, and his eyes fixed on their targets. Some close aides to His Majesty, the Emperor, might have recognized this expression because the Emperor displayed the same behavior when he was concocting a particularly evil scheme in his head. It was understood that the moment an enemy saw this expression, he had already lost. Kaze had the same evil grin on his face now. Some may believe that a wicked smile on the face of a cute and innocent young boy is out of place, but that was far from the case and they couldn't be more wrong. His green eyes matched his evil grin perfectly, and his dark black hair, which had been messed up due to the dampness in the cavern earlier, complemented his evil expression even more. Even the world's greatest villains would be ashamed of the sync it displayed with his face. If one looked closely, Kaze could easily outshine even the elves with his pretty face, given his facial features. With his scrawny build and weak physique, he didn't exactly fit the definition of handsome, but he was cute enough to easily melt the hearts of any lady if he just decked himself up a little. But, as a result of the bullying he had endured throughout his life, he had become submissive and never even considered fashion or clothing for himself. His spirit had been crushed to the core, and he was certain that he would never be able to find another girl in his life. That was, of course, until he met his fiancée. (This plot will be continued later) The two beasts were easily as tall as Kaze, and each had four eyes, two in the center and two in each direction, giving them a wider view. Kaze, however narcissistic he could be, was a very calculated man, and accompanied with his cold expressionless face, his nature would far outstrip that of a cold-blooded assassin. What appeared to be an evil smile was actually the result of hundreds of possible scenarios jumbling in this 12-year-old boy's mind. In a matter of seconds, he had weighed all of the advantages and disadvantages and devised several backup plans. The Emperor's true danger came from this. His reaction time was monstrous, out of this world, and Kaze now possessed the same ability. The beasts would soon regret attacking this monstrous calamity because he would suck their souls dry before killing them. A starving young child alone on an unknown planet, with no magic, weapons, or anything else on him, facing two giant beasts his own size. Anyone who saw this would feel sorry for the child, but those who knew him well would choose to sympathize with the spiders instead. Infuriated, the two spiders pounced upward towards their prey, as if noticing the boy's grin. Kaze, with his incredible battle instincts, dove to the ground and picked up some of the red soil in his small hands. He swung sideways and threw the soil in both of his hands at the spiders, striking them in the eyes. They were more sensitive to the pain of being temporarily blinded because of their highly enhanced eyes. Kaze bolted for the nearest cavern-like structure, fleeing the spiders. He knew they'd be able to catch up to him soon enough because of the spider's agility, but that was exactly what he wanted. The spiders quickly regained their composure and noticed that their prey had escaped after being blinded, which enraged them even more. They began to pursue Kaze at a faster pace, each of their eight legs just adding even more to their speed. Kaze quickly spotted and entered a nearby cavern. And just as he had anticipated, the cave was full of sharp and sparkly stalactites that glowed brightly from the sunlight falling in the cavern. When he noticed the enraged spiders approaching him, he quickly knocked a stalactite over with his elbow, breaking it. He picked it up, his elbow bruised from the collision, and turned to face the two beasts staring at him, seemingly mocking the cornered prey. But they weren't the only ones who were laughing, as Kaze's grin widened and his knuckles began to move in a wave-like motion. It was a strange situation. if one were to observe the situation, he would be completely perplexed as to who was the predator and who was the prey. Kaze took the initiative this time, raising his right hand while clutching the stalactite and moving forward screaming a loud roar at the spiders. The beasts, startled by this sudden change in their prey's behavior, increased their alertness and moved sideways easily avoiding Kaze's attack. But Kaze had no intention of attacking them as he ran past them outside the cavern and turned around, clutching the stalactite in his right hand and pointing it downwards towards the surface of the cavern's entrance. The spiders were confused by his actions, but acted quickly, fearing that their prey would flee again. They lunged forward to attack, only to be stunned by what happened next. The bright sunlight outside the cavern reflected through the surface of the highly crystallized stalactite and hit the wet and moist soil of the cavern, causing it to combust instantly as soon as Kaze lifted his hand. Because the entire cavern's soil was moist from the liquid droplets from the stalactites, the fire quickly spread throughout the cavern in no time. Spiders, by their very nature, are vulnerable to fire, and so were these beasts as they growled in pain. As they burned, they cast one last glance at the person who had caused them so much anguish and saw an evil spine-chilling grin that shivered their souls. They finally understood that the small creature in front of them was the actual beast in sheepskin, while they were just mere spiders whom he could crush with his feet at anytime. Alas, they were too late in realizing this as both the beasts died at the hands of the flaming fire, and a shit-ton of messages appeared in front of Kaze shortly after. <10 Xp rewarded> LEVEL UP!
