" What the hell is this "
Leo exclaimed in surprise. He felt a shiver run down his spine when he remembered that he wanted to touch the wall.
Putting his hands in the pockets Leo started walking near the wall to see if any symbols were engraved on it. Unfortunately the wall was purely black and had nothing written on it.
Picking up some more pebbles Leo threw them at the wall to identify the cause they were destroyed. Repeating the same action a few more times Leo noticed that stones didn't vanish into thin air, but disintegrated very fast.
' Darkness Element ! '
Leo instantly came to a conclusion seeing wall possessing such a corrosive ability.
Carefully walking across the wall and not finding any door or other passage Leo started pondering about possible ways to pass through the black object.
After contemplating for a few minutes Leo stood up and started running back and forth randomly. After a few minutes of jogging he stopped near the wall and tensed up his calf muscles. Heavily stomping the ground Leo launched himself vertically, only planning to take a peek above the wall.
Reaching the peak of his jump Leo was a few meters above the wall. A sight that opened before him was simply breathtaking. A village with shabby houses, skeletons with armor and swords roaming around, a castle further in the distance and a garden that seemed to add mysteriousness to the castle.
It looked like a medium-sized civilization. Seeing the huge ominous castle Leo instantly thought that the monster responsible for the killing was stationed there. Unfortunately for Leo there were way too many guards for him to simply avoid them or sneak around them.
Thinking about his possibilities Leo's lip corners curled up. A huge number of guards wasn't necessarily a bad thing. He felt that to fight the creature who was responsible for all the massacre above the ground he needed to become stronger, because his current strength was lacking quite a bit. For a second Leo got distracted while counting how much Xp he will receive from killing the guards.
Shaking his head Leo backed away from the black wall. He lowered his body and applied [ Superior Enhancement ] on his legs. Tensing up his muscles Leo bolted towards the wall and leapt across it. The wind was blowing his white hair making him look like a snowflake.
In Leo's head the landing was supposed to be very cool and dramatic. Unfortunately the reality was harsh. As soon as Leo landed he felt his legs throbbing from over excessive use and uncomfortable landing. When Leo touched the ground a great dust cloud was raised obstructing his view. Blinking a few times Leo tried to exit the cloud, but he was rudely interrupted by a blade aimed at his neck.
Evading the blade by shifting his body to the side Leo threw a punch at attackers head.
Bang...
Sound of flesh hitting the metal echoed in the dead village. A foe that received a punch took 5 steps back while trying to maintain its balance.
The dust cloud started slowly settling down revealing Leo's opponent. A tall knight with full metal armor covering its full body, holding a seemingly frail longsword. Its helmet was bent, but not broken. Leo deduced that it would take at least 2 more punches to destroy it.
Pulling out the daggers from his inventory Leo wanted to see how would his daggers fare against metal armor. His goal was to first shatter the longsword and then test the armor's durability.
Taking a defensive position Leo steeled his mind and awaited for skeleton's advance.
Raising its sword above the head, the knight ran up to Leo and swung the weapon with all his might. Leo dodged the slash, but felt that its speed and power was above skeletons he fought before. Leo knew that his attacker was a skeleton, because helmet had holes made for eyes which were shining an eerie red color.
Evading horizontal strike from the knight, Leo took a step back and when the skeleton's body was rotated, slashed one of his daggers at its shoulder.
Bang...
Dagger managed to pierce through the armor, and cut the bone halfway halving the strength of the arm. Leo was now confident to compete against the knight with his strength.
While he was busy fighting the knight he felt pain in his calf. Looking down Leo saw a skeletal hound biting into his leg. Quickly lowering his body Leo stabbed the dog's skull making it release its jaws and die instantly.

The knight of course didn't let the moment slip and raised its sword with intention to split Leo in half. Not wanting to have a twin Leo crossed his daggers above his head and braced himself for a hit.
Bang...
A longsword collided with daggers producing a loud sound informing everyone around about a fight.
Clenching his teeth Leo was sweating buckets, because his leg was bleeding profusely and it was pressured, because of the skeleton's sword. The pressure was not helping Leo to focus on stopping the leg's bleeding by using [ Dragon's Mana ].
Gnashing his teeth Leo let the sword slide through his daggers' blades to reach a part where it looked like its blade was damaged. Putting all his strength in his arms Leo's muscles expanded.
Crack...
The Longsword's blade couldn't handle the pressure directed at its weak spot and shattered making Leo sigh in relief. He quickly used a moment of peace, stopped his bleeding and stood up. Throwing one of his daggers at its helmet Leo destroyed its front and ran up to the knight throwing a punch enhanced with Lightning Mana at its face.
Boom..
The fist connected with the knight's face sending it crashing into the house's wall. Picking up his thrown dagger Leo started approaching the knight.
Crash...
A wall was completely demolished by the heavy knight's crash. A normal person would think that the enemy is dead, but Leo who didn't receive a system notification thought otherwise.
In the rubles of the house's wall a shadow could be seen standing up. It slowly started stumbling towards Leo when a dagger was thrown at its forehead.
