The next day.
I walked to the portal area, which was filled with portals connected to different sectors and heavily guarded, each sector portal is connected from a different room and is heavily armed, if any problem occurs from the other city and a monster moves in to the portal before it is informed, the fire arms installed in the room activates and kills the monster, it also applies to unauthorized humans who decide to pass through, a single firearm installed inside can easily kill a grade 7 monster.
I walked in through the door marked [SECTOR ONE], the interior was sleek and spotless, a man in a black suit stood beneath the stairs leading to the portal, the portal was bluish purple with white treads sprawling allover it was ominously artistic.
I walked towards the man standing below the portal, he was massive in size, his biceps were a size of my waist, goddamn, he looked huge.
"Guild ID." he spoke in a hoarse voice.
"...Here you go."
You cannot enter sector one without a guild ID because it is extremely dangerous, and if anything happens to you, it will be the guild's responsibility, though that is only on the outside, the government simply didn't want to take responsibility for the f**kers who want to go and die in sector one, and I'm not asking them to do so either. it's just.... meh, anyway.

GUILD ID
[OR CODE]
NAME: Henry Weber.

GUILD NAME: Persona.
GUILD RANK: Rank-10

"This is the first time I've seen somebody from the guild PRESONA."
"Yes, we are normally active in sector four and five."
"Is that so?"
"Haha, yes."
".... here you go, I've confirmed the guild ID, you can enter."
He returned my ID with a business smile, and I walked up to the portal. If you breathe in while entering the gate, you can accumulate pure mana; why can't everyone just accumulate pure mana while passing through? Because it requires intense concentration and our connection to our senses is lost when we enter a portal, it is a difficult and painful task. Nobody else is aware of this, so no one tries.
Pure mana is denser than the mana present in the surroundings; pure mana is the essence of mana present within our bodies, similar to life force in simple terms.
I entered the portal while breathing and found myself in an unknown location with a massive metallic door that appeared to be used by ogres.
'Ogres' are a type of intelligent monster. They are warriors by blood and take great pride in their battles. Their bodies are dark green, with a minimum height of 12 feet, the width of three humans, and a muscular build that makes them appear to be mini-giants.
WUONNG
I pushed open the door, it made a weird sound and I found myself back to where it all started in this world, the same old uncomfortably familiar area. Huuuu..... no matter how many times I see it, it just doesn't change.
A single path with trees arched above it and hills, despite the fact that it is filled with plants and trees, the nature in this sector appears gloomy every time I look at it.
[PI PIII PIE]
"What?"
[PI PII PIII]
".... Ok, but you're not going back in there."
[PI PIIII]
'SUMMON'
WOOONG
I held out my right hand and a green magic circle with ancient writings appeared, ancient letters slowly began to manifest on both of my hands and glowed bright green, 1/4th of my mana was sucked and a foxlike green spirit with dragonfly-like wings that shone neon green appeared, the fur on its back was colored with all elemental colors that were pulchritudinous.
My hands stopped glowing and spirit which was a size of my fist manifested before me.
[PI PII PI]
He flew to my cheek and snuggled a bit before sitting on top of my head, his name is 'PYRE,' I found him here in sector one where I was abandoned, he is a forest spirit and can use all natural elements, I had him with me so I only used FROST element and if ever need to use other elements I can use them with his help and it's also more efficient with his help.
[PI PIPI PII]
"NO. No, if you try to purify this you will need to use half off your life force, so don't."
[PIII]
"NO, that won't work this time."
[PIII]
"...."
"Haaaa.... okay,"
[PI PIP PIIIPI]
"But only after we grow stronger. Not now."
He goes to purify everything related to nature; I know nature is like a second home to him, but he doesn't know his limits and has somehow learned to use his life force.
"I don't know who you leant such things from."
[...]
"What are you looking at?"
He gave me a weird look and started to fly away somewhere, the audacity.
"Hey, answer me first. Hey."
A bow made of ice materialized in my hand, I sped up a bit to follow Pyre as he ran towards the forest and many monsters began to pour out on us, the bow in my hand detached into twin daggers, I slashed of the neck of monster while spikes protruded out of the ground covering me as I continued to slash down monsters.
SLASH (3x)
SLIT (6x)
'15 percent' I muttered inside my head, a light blue hue surrounded me, my muscles tensed, and I began to move more fluidly; there were many wolves, goblins, Ogres, and some of the demonized monsters.
"Awwwooooo"
"krieeek"
"Gaaouuuuoo"
'Goblins' are cowardly monsters that hunt in packs and attack the back of their prey; they are graded -1 when alone but graded 4-5 when in a pack; they are the lowest level of the food chain in sector one.
'Demonized' monsters are those who work for demons or who begin to demonize when their negative emotions reach a certain threshold. Among monsters: Because it is an unnatural energy, those who are demonized are kicked out or killed by their own pack.
I followed Pyre as I continued to slash down monsters, as for the monsters who are archers, Pyre took care of them.
SLIT (5x)
SPLURT (5x)
RUMBLE, RUMBLE
A huge horde of at least 2000 monsters above grade- 8 began to pour out in the distance, I reattached my daggers into a bow and pulled the string made of light blue mana, three arrows of ice formed as I pulled the string, at the same time spikes protruded out all around me.
SHING
Killing all the monsters around me, all the spikes were covered in blood, like a red sunflower, and a pool of dark red and green blood formed beneath my feet.
SPLURT
I, too, was covered in blood, but I smiled and released the arrows.
SWISH (3x)
One of which pierced the head of the 'NAGA' who stood behind the horde, a grade- 9 monsters, and the other two arrows flew in opposite directions, struck to the ground and froze everything around, halting the moments of the horde, Pyre flew towards them, blue flames lit, spikes protruded out covering the whole horde and killed them, soon only a puddle of dark red and green blood remained.
'Naga' are strong snake type monsters that act as the commander most of the time. Their scales are very hard to pierce through, making them more of a defense type monster, and they breathe out poison if they think they are in danger, making it more difficult to kill one. It is best to kill one while its guard is down.
RUMBLE
Without giving us any time to rest, the monster horde of grade-9 began to pour out, and I grinned and activated my traits.
'Frost, good with hands' I muttered in my head. Surroundings beneath my feet began to freeze; the air around me chilled and turned visibly white; the bow dissolved into nothingness; and I drew a katana from my subspace and took a stance with my left foot behind, some monsters snickered as they approached me.
SNICKER (4x)
"35 percent." I mumbled in a low tone; my muscles tensed and expanded as I slashed and appeared behind the monsters, the monsters' steps halted, there was no sound, but soon there was a bright light blue hue that arced the monster's horde from one end to the other and froze them on spot with their necks slashed and froze at the same time.
I looked down at the katana in my hand, it was completely cracked. When I lifted it to get a better look, it shattered into a million pieces.
'And that's the 1,997th one…'
