"Nah I don't need your opinion, I'll start with the little guys first, she sit back and don't disturb my exp farming, okay?" Aion rushes to meet the wave of Serpolf head on.
The environment was a partial forest, trees were around but they were scarce and few in between and there was a lot of space to run around. The ground was a little uneven, slopes and holes of different sizes, running without experience could be dangerous when fighting a pack of animals, because one would be running up and down and it would be hard to get a footing if one loses balance, which is also a occurrence that will happen frequently to an amateur.
Just that to Aion, it is not really a disadvantage but rather an advantage. As he ran towards one Serpolf ahead he games an opening in his leg, and since the Serpolf showed extremely low level of intelligence he was sure the beast running from the side will take the bait... and it did.
The Serpolf by the side made a low jumped aiming for Aion's legs, but the legs disappears before it's eyes as Aion slightly jumps up. The Serpolf didn't have the time to even check around for where Aion went when it's head crashed into the hard ground, that place was slightly bumped up and it was one of the spits Aion had his sight on.
The other Serpolf in front of Aion had also jumped before the first one crashed into the floor, this one as well aimed for Aion when it saw him jump into the air, knowing that it was impossible for humans to move mid air so it took it as an opportunity.
If only it was, but it wasn't an opportunity. The Serpolf only knew Aion was before it one second, it's jaw almost closing in on him, but the next second Aion is gone, disappeared into thin air, and without noticing it's own closing jaw clamps on the other Serpolf's neck, a sickening crunch could be heard.
Aion reappears with his scythe swinging down, and with a swoosh it enters both Serpolves head easily and exits equally easily.

Doing a leg sweep to the right, Aion trips over a Serpolf and the Serpolf fell into a eagerly awaiting scythe.

Not caring about their comrades that kept dropping dead, the Serpolves were only concerned about killing the human before them.
'what is a GFC?' Aion thought as he dips his hand into his inventory, and brings out a silver coin like item from a equally silvery pouch filled with a hundred of them.
[Item: Coin.
Name: GFC (Gods Field Coin)
Description: Coins that can be used during the closing of the gods field to exchange for items in the gods treasury, or to win the special most prized item in the field possession.]
'Now that is new, no one told me we had to get coins for something, I thought we just had to go around searching for locations a god might had died to check for his or her treasures or legacy, but now there's even something called a special most prized possession... Is this what the ten from the fifteen stars found out, this should be their main goal for participating. Now how should I snatch it from them?'
Aion thinks as he continues to dodge through Serpolves attacks and also dish out his once a while. 'If that's how it is then I cant waste any more time than necessary... Sorry buddies!'
"[Shadow world]"
Like a drop of ink falling on a calm serene water and causing a ripple of disturbance, so as well a gloomy energy ripples through the air and from Aion's feet, his shadow spreads out, quickly covering the lands like a plague.
Before long the shadow had covered a wide range and all the Serpolves including their alpha.
[Shadow world] one of the few skills he had at the beginning of the game that didn't get lost with the shutting down of the game. Although he had continued playing the game even after the apocalypse begun, but when he came out a month later, only one of his few skills stayed with him before the game fully shut down, and that was chaotic primal shadow.
He had thought it was because of some luck or some other reason, but it was because the skill Chaotic primal shadow was the only not one he was able to upgrade up to level two, which is why he was able to still have it.
All the Serpolves slowed down and we're struggling to free themselves, but even their struggles was a slow process.
[Ding! Lesser god aura has been picked up, system directly using to upgrade and install new functions...]
"Well then upgrade and let's utilize the new function to their fullest!" Aion dashes but he turns to a blur, merging in with the shadow itself, he was travelling like air, fast, instantaneous and unavoidable.
Slashes went left and right, numerous snouts or mouths were chopped off, black ooze like blood spraying everywhere. Within seconds the fourteen Serpolves left were all dead and only their alpha was left stuck in the shadow.
Aion keeps his scythe, and uses his mind. Testing his mental capacity for the first time in a while, because the last time he did was when he fought the nose zombie and used the shadow to craft a flame emitter.
Back them the flame emitter was a permanent item so the essence he used in creating it was deducted permanently to forever remain as a flame emitter, but now it was still a part of him and is only being used temporarily and it is connected to his [Shadow world] skill.
Aion raised his hands causing numerous shadow bodies to follow, the bodies then start to form into shapes, a shape of a beast that called him family one he saw recently.
Eight dragons formed with shadows stood gallantly on the shadowy ground. Aion then commands again as a multicolored flame dances across his eyes.
The multicolored flame as well also appeared in the dragons eyes and it could be seen tracing down their long thick throat until it got to their bellies where it dimmed and vanishes, but then the chests of the dragons all inflate as their mouths open into a silent growl.
A dark colored light could be seen racing its way up their throat as the insides of their mouths all lit up with a dark light, then with a thunderous roar fiery shadow flames descended from all eight dragons landing on the Serpolf alpha.
Aion was surprised as he discovered a lovely bug if he could call it that. When he had created the dragons he had kept an eye on his energy essence, so even if it was going to be lost permanently it won't be an exorbitant amount. The dragons took a whooping twelve thousand energy essence to be created but when they blew out their fire breathe made of the shadowed form of his star flame which was also an edge hotter than the original, his energy decreased but when it hit the shadow ground it sink back in and his energy refilled.
It was a action of giving and receiving but in the process one was completing an issue, like burning a Serpolf dust.

Aion walked up to the pile of ash as his shadow retreated back into him. He then used his legs to kick the ashes with his aim being to clear his trail as he still doesn't want anyone knowing he had fire powers.
They knew he could control shadow or darkness, they were not really sure on that, but they had an idea of it, but what they were sure about was his scythe and wounds made from scythe are easily recognizable.
It is either there is a huge line from a pierce or a wide line from a slash, or a smooth chopped off body part. So anyone that happens to stumble on this path will know it was him that did it, but then they would find it about his fire power if they saw the alpha ashes.
The ashes flew left and right, causing a dust cloud for a while before settling down back and mixing in with the ground, but Aion notices something from the ashes like crystal it was glittering of the slightest ray of light hit it.
He went back to the other Serpolves and checked their bodies for it but couldn't find anything like the crystal.
'Hmmm! What if I burned it?'
...
