He took a deep breath and exhaled.
In the next instant, he moved, slowly at first, to his right but then back to his left.
His movements were slow and easy to see.
'A footwork?' Oliver narrowed his eyes as he saw Daniel moving in an unrecognizable pattern.
Oliver tightened his grip on his katana, readying himself for the next attack. The air between them grew thick with tension.
He observed how his speed started to increase as he kept moving from one position to another.
'Interesting…'
Even with his enhanced senses, he was starting to get confused by Daniel's movements as Daniel sped up.
Of course, he was not using his special eyes at the moment but normal vision.
Soon, it started to become harder and harder to keep up with his movements.
"This technique is called [A Thousand Provisions]; it gives the opponent a taste of a thousand sword moves all instilled in a single strike," Daniel's voice came out as he moved faster and faster.
"Get ready to have a taste of my favorite sword art."
Oliver's eyes wavered slightly. The name of the technique sent a shiver of excite down his spine, but he remained focused, every muscle in his body taut with anticipation.
Daniel circled around Oliver, who was watching closer than ever. His steps were unordered and weird as he ran in circles around him.
'No… can't find the pattern at all.'
Oliver had a thoughtful look on his face as he could not find a specific pattern in Daniel's movement to exploit an opening.
'It won't work like that.'
He calmed down, relaxing his posture. He straightened his slightly hunched back.
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Oliver's lips, a rare show of confidence.
Daniel, who was waiting to find a spot to attack, narrowed his eyes as he saw the sudden relaxed posture Oliver had taken. He was a bit confused about what the latter was doing in such a critical moment.
It was then he heard Oliver say something.
"Do you know? I happen to have a footwork technique as well."
Daniel's brows furrowed when he heard that.
'So this guy had been hiding a footwork technique too. Just how much is he holding back!?'
Oliver, on the other hand, looked at the running figure in circles as he took a stance as well.
He was going to use a technique he had mastered a long time ago.
While incomplete, he had enough mastery over it to make up for it at the moment—at least for this duel.
The memories of countless hours of training flashed through Oliver's mind, grounding him.
Daniel's frown deepened when he saw Oliver moving in a familiar foot pattern.
'[Six Thoughtful Steps of the Spirits],' he was instantly able to recognize the familiar footwork given the number of techniques he had learned since he was able to walk.
'Why is he using that basic foot technique right now? Does he think he can best me with such a basic technique?'
Daniel observed deeply while maintaining his own movements and speed.
'My technique is clearly superior, so why… why is his figure turning distant?' Daniel pondered as his heart raced.
The world seemed to blur around Daniel as he struggled to keep his focus solely on Oliver.
With every moment passing by, Oliver's figure turned into a blur until it finally vanished from the spot.
'What!? Where did he go!?'
He panicked, and his eyes darted around, trying to immediately search for him.
'Where is he?'
The moment he thought that, a familiar voice echoed in his ears from behind.
"Are you looking for me?"
Clang!!
Daniel heard the voice and did not hesitate; he swung his sword down, a tremendous force behind that strike.
He utilized all his power to execute the [Thousand Provisions] technique.
However, contrary to his high expectations, what happened next shook him to the core.
Oliver did not dodge it but blocked his strike with his katana.
The impact reverberated through the air, the sheer force of it making the ground beneath them tremble, spewing dust cloud all over.
"Crazy…" His voice leaked out subconsciously, impressed by what he saw.
The force behind that strike was extraordinary. It specifically brought out his body's inner strength in that move.
Oliver had to be at least thrice as strong as him physically to even dare to block that attack.
'Just how strong are you…?'
He looked into Oliver's calm eyes and felt his own eyes tremble.
They were as calm as water and as deep as an ocean. At this moment, Oliver truly felt like a mountain stretching towards the heavens.
'I have to surpass him.'
However, even in the face of that realization, Daniel's resolve stood unshaken. He was going to do whatever it required to surpass that mountain reaching the heavens!
"Arrrgh-!" Daniel groaned and forced himself as he swung down the sword again.
This time Oliver did not delay any longer but instead directly punched Daniel in the stomach.
"Kuh-!"
Daniel coughed hard as he was sent flying back.
Bam!
He crashed straight into the stone wall behind them before he fell down.
Oliver had won. However, at this moment, he was looking down at his wrist; it was trembling hard.
His gaze trailed up to the fallen boy who had caused this, and a smile appeared on his face.
'Not bad.'
He had never felt like this. At that moment, his heart felt excited as he took Daniel's sword attack.
It was a feeling he had not felt since he had fought with the pair of siblings back then.
'He has a lot of potential.'
Oliver made a note.
'If he is allowed to grow stronger, he could become quite useful in fighting against demons in the future. Perhaps Evelyn might not have to suffer as much as she did alone?'
An array of possibilities opened up in his mind as he imagined such a future.
But for that to happen, they would need to survive the perpetual plane. Only then would they have a chance.

Chapter 168
He shook his head and went up to the guy fallen on the ground, breathing heavily.
"It was a great match," said Oliver as he extended his hand forward. "Here, take it."
Daniel chuckled painfully, "Fuck yes. It was the most awesome match I ever had."

He took Oliver's hand as he got up with some difficulty.
"You are crazy, dude." Daniel said as his smile broadened. "Never ever have I seen someone directly receive the strike from [Thousand Provisions] head on."
"Is that so?" Oliver nodded.
"You don't think? My father, who has mastered this technique, slayed ten thousand demons with one move of his using this same technique."
Oliver shivered slightly as he imagined the full power of such a terrifying strike.
He was really tempted to bind with Daniel however the system did not recognize him as a suitable target.
It was highly likely due to the fact that Daniel had originally died in the perpetual plane.
Maybe changing that future might change this situation too?

If possible, he would really like to have a strong weapon technique from the Sacred Swords Clan, the master of weapons.
After all, they had some of the best weapon techniques in the whole world.
Oliver helped Daniel back to the chairs to rest.
He could feel the others looking at him dazedly, he could only shake his head.
"Oliver, was that [Six Thoughtful Steps of Spirit]?"
Evelyn came to him and asked, she was curious.
"I am curious about it too!" Daniel could not help but add, he was amazed how proficient Oliver
"That footwork? That's right, it was that." he replied simply.
"What!? How is that possible!? I also have learned that footwork, it's just a common and basic footwork, how can it be so powerful to match up with [Thousand Provisions] technique?"
Daniel almost would have stood up if he could but his body barely responded at the moment.
Seeing his surprised face, Oliver pondered whether he should tell him how wrong he was about the footwork or not.
The [Six Thoughtful Steps of Spirit] was an incomplete footwork technique, the original footwork was extremely power, literally giving insane speeds to the individual.
Nonetheless, it was not a trash technique at all. But he still had to say something.

He looked towards the eager Daniel and said in a serious tone.
"Daniel," he started, "No technique in this world is weak, it's the user who is weak due to which the technique can not realize its full potential."
"T-That's what my father said too!" Daniel stuttered as his eyes widened in disbelief.
"So from now on, I am your dad."
"Huh, what!?" Daniel asked as he could not just comprehend what was said.
"Nothing." Oliver laughed and dismissed it.
"But still, thanks to you, I have now realized my mistakes. Thank you very much, Oliver!" Daniel bowed deeply as he gave a heartfelt thanks.
"Hmm? What did you understand?" Oliver asked, curious that if Daniel had enlightenment, he might hear it as well, it might come in handy at some time.
"No technique is inherently weak; it is we, the practitioner where the true fault actually lies within. I heard the same thing from my father, but I had forgotten about it, however, after hearing from you, I have now realized how important this was."
Daniel looked at his longsword as he said this while seemingly lost in deep thought.
"As practitioners, it is our responsibility to master the technique to its full potential. If the technique seems weak, then it simply means that we are not looking at it correctly."
'Umm? That's not what it should mean…" Oliver looked at him, speechless at how he had concluded this from his words.
However, Daniel wasn't finished yet.

"If we aren't able to bring out the technique's true potential, we simply need to improve the technique itself!" Daniel concluded in a resolute tone.
"Ah, that does sound like a great point, Daniel." Evelyn nodded in understanding.
"I know, right? From now on, I will never forget any advice I hear from my father!"
"What a filial son!" Oliver patted his friend's shoulder and nodded.
"…"
"Anyways, I'll go rest now. Alphonso, mind escorting him back to his room? I don't think he has any energy left to walk his way out," Oliver turned to look at Alphonso, who was reading a thin booklet about runes.
Apparently, it was something he had been rewarded by Sigfor back then.
"Sure, leave it to me."
"Thanks, dude," Daniel thanked him from afar.
Alphonso closed the book and stored it back into his storage ring and gave Daniel his shoulder, leaving the room with him.
"Hey Nadia, how about we spar again? I really like your techniques and tactics!" Evelyn approached Nadia, who was sitting alone in a corner with an emotionless expression on her face.
"…" Nadia glanced at her, contemplating.
"Nadia, you should! Your control over the ice element is beautiful! I want to observe it again too," Amber joined them from behind, encouraging her.

"Fine," Nadia said just one word before getting up and walking towards the stage.
Oliver sighed. Over the few days, he had tried his best to let other girls approach Nadia and become familiar with her.
She really deserved friends, and despite her cold demeanor, he believed that with the help of gradual interactions with others, she might change slightly.
To be honest, he could already see some changes. Earlier, she wouldn't talk with others for even a moment, but now she would at least reply to them and engage with them for a few moments.
Although it wasn't too big of an improvement, it was still better. Part of him also wanted to show his previous display of strength to motivate Nadia to work harder.
As they were instructed by the clan elder, Nadia needed to establish her dominance over the other clan heirs, but her indifferent attitude made that naturally impossible.
And it was far better for her to make friends rather than make subordinates.
He feared that if she was left alone, Nadia's mental state might turn into something worse.

Chapter 169
Oliver was worried that if she was left alone, Nadia's mental state might turn into something worse.
Just the image of his mother, Ophelia, was enough to shake him.
Ophelia had long abandoned her human psyche and had adopted an inhume mentality, as far as he knew.

He could not let a little girl like Nadia become something like that.
Of course, preventing that from happening was still a far-fetched idea. He knew he wasn't capable enough to stop Ophelia from tampering with Nadia right now.
But planting some seeds of humanity in her mind was still better than nothing. The future was unpredictable, after all.
It changed continuously.

He soon returned to his room and took out the potions he had stored in his mind space.
He then started drinking them one by one to temper his espera and refine it further.
"I am almost out of potions now. Apart from a few healing potions, I don't have anything left," he thought.

Oliver had been continuously stocking his supplies by exchanging pills and potions with others in exchange for food.
Of course, his rations had long run out of stock, but thanks to Sigfor, he could sustain.
Sigfor had told them to cook for themselves if they wanted to eat something, but since the old man didn't know how to cook despite being as old as a tree, he would eat with Oliver.
Not to mention the fact that he rarely felt hungry and didn't mind living without food, unlike them.
Oliver had a functioning kitchen in his area along with the fresh ingredients Sigfor had brought to use or eat raw to be specific.
Initially, Sigfor intended for them to consume raw fruits and vegetables to sate their hunger, however, how could the posh clan heirs be able to live such a life?
They were used to delicate, full-course meals every day. There was no way that they could sustain a raw diet every day.
But everyone knew that Oliver could cook, so no matter how it was, all the chores automatically fell to him.
Thus, he took on the role of being the group's cook—their personal chef.
However, since he couldn't do it for free, he would charge them something in return for meals every day since they ate the food he would make.
It worked well for some months, but now they were also running out of potions and pills to trade. After all, even if they might have stocked for themselves, who would have expected that it would be shared with Oliver in the end?
Anything else that remained in their storage artifacts was too precious to be traded for mere food.
So even Oliver was helpless and just cooked for them occasionally without asking anything in return. No matter how mature they thought and acted, in the end, they were still kids.

Also, they were his friends, right?
Right…?
"Do I really consider them as my friends?" Oliver thought as he lay on his bed, staring at the wooden ceiling, lost in thought.
He never really considered them as friends if he had to say it honestly, at most, he considered them as useful human resources that could help out humanity in the future war against demons.
He helped Nadia in order for her to become stronger than she could as she was in the novel.
So, was it right for him to call them his friends.
"Haah… it's too complex, I will think about it later."
He yawned and closed his eyes, he was going to sleep for some time.

"We are ready, leader."
"Have you located the barrier's weak spot?"
"Yes, we have found it, and it should now be easy to infiltrate."
"Well done."
Outside, far from the mountain hall, stood a man dressed in pitch-black robes. He was standing idle, talking to his subordinates. He was none other than the leader of the heretic group who had come to retrieve the egg of the disaster beast.
He was behind the group, preparing a killer array to engage Sigfor, whose presence he had faintly felt. To further confirm his suspicions about the expert inside the mountain hall, he had his subordinates check on it discreetly over the weeks.
Being so close to the barrier, there was no way any of them would miss sensing the presence of such an entity. They were all carrying stealth artifacts they had received from the sect—even a Rank-3 expert might not be able to sense their presence!
"Alright then, the moment I attack the barrier and draw out the experts, you will infiltrate the hall and get the egg of the disaster beast. Remember, either you succeed or don't come back," he said in a chilling voice. There was a momentary silence on the other side of the phone before a voice responded.
"Yes, leader!"
He put the communicator down and looked in front of him. On the ground just next to his feet was a large runic array pulsing with a very dark aura. It was suffocating to look at, and all sorts of extremely complex runes were etched onto its surface. There was an occasional flash of bloody red light in the various runes, indicating its deadly nature.
No doubt this was an extremely dangerous array. Just the amount of aura gathering near it was terrifyingly huge. Even he, who was as strong as a Rank-3 exorcist, had to wait for weeks to prepare the array and supply it with the necessary aura.
"From my observations, the expert exorcist inside should also be Rank-3, but just in case, I prepared this array if they turn out to be more powerful than expected. As long as they are not a Rank-4 exorcist, they will definitely be wounded badly," the man spoke sinisterly as his eyes gleamed with black aura.
He was able to observe the massive barrier surrounding the whole mountain. "Whoever cast this barrier is definitely a high-level expert in array formations," he thought as he looked at the barrier deeply from outside.

Chapter 170
'It might be someone from the Forging Association or one of the five major clans. Other than them, there's hardly anyone with such a level of barrier-making skills. It might be a talisman master.'
The black-robed leader judged keenly as the array behind him pulsed more terribly. He took out a talisman from his pocket.
The talisman was made out of black paper; it had something written on it with red ink, which was not really ink but blood!

"It's time we claim what belongs to us. May there be eternal glory for demons!" His eyes turned maniacal as he incited the espera into action, activating the black talisman.
The talisman trembled violently before an eerie espera leaked out from it like black ink from a fountain pen. The talisman vibrated and instantly headed toward the direction of the barrier.
The air around the leader seemed to shimmer with dark energy, his expression growing more twisted with anticipation.
All the while, the leader's eyes did not waver as he looked at the flying talisman with sinister eyes.
"It's been a while since I killed a high-ranking exorcist. My hands thirst for your potent blood," he said in a monotonic voice as he watched the scene.
"Are you kidding me, you old ma—I mean elder, I clearly scored the victory here!"
Daniel said disdainfully as he was declared the loser again. They had been gathered together and were playing chess; however, Sigfor had declared his move foul and directly eliminated him.
Not only had Daniel moved his king piece despite it being under check, but he had also been trying to draw out a stalemate against his opponent.

"You brat! Today, I will teach you a lesson and correct your foul tongue!"
Sigfor also rolled up his sleeves as he was ready to teach this cheating little brat a lesson for good.
Daniel clearly did not know how to play chess and yet dared to question him, who knew all the rules?
"Ah, elder, please calm down. D-Daniel, quick! Apologize!"
Alphonso tried to soothe things out as he panicked at the situation.
"Humph! What did I do wrong!? If a king can be stopped like this, then how is it still a king? It's so useless. You tell me, why is that? Also, isn't this pawn behind another pawn practically useless too? Always getting sacrificed for his comrade?"
"Get aside, or else I will beat you too!"
"No, please, elder! Calm your anger. Daniel is just ignorant!"
"What!? Why am I being called ignorant!? Who even made this game?" Daniel frowned and pestered Alphonso.
Oliver was watching the drama unfold while chewing on a piece of apple. However, his expression was not too good. The bad feeling in his chest had intensified a lot, but he could not point it out. Everything was going so smoothly, so why was he feeling this way?
The laughter and chatter around him felt distant, like an echo from another world, as his instincts screamed of impending danger.
The girls were also watching with interest.
"As I keep saying, you brats are—"

Sigfor suddenly paused in the middle of what he was speaking. He turned his head abruptly in the direction of the mountain hall.
His expression changed drastically.
A terrifying aura emerged from his body, stunning everyone in the group.
"Get back to your dorms. There's someone attacking the barrier."
His extremely serious words rang in the ears of the shocked group.
They watched with confused and shocked gazes as Sigfor disappeared from his spot after leaving them with his serious words.
Just a moment ago, they were playing peacefully, and all of a sudden, he became serious and left.
Oliver, who heard this, had a heavy frown on his forehead.
'As I thought, that ominous feeling was not for nothing.'
He knew it was serious just by looking at Sigfor's attitude.
Not only that, he was also aware of how isolated this mountain was and how hidden they were from the world.
For someone to locate this place and launch an attack, what did this mean?
Even a child could understand the situation.

But what was nagging him the most was the thought of who could be the attacker.
For Sigfor to personally leave them alone and go outside to deal with it simply meant that the attacker was a dangerous element that could or held the means to bypass the strong barrier placed on the entire mountain.
And for someone to deliberately target the mountain with such a strong barrier at this time when Alison was away meant that they had planned this thoroughly.
'Is it a coincidence that the attack happened while we were here or…' Oliver thought deeply.
'Or is this a plot to eliminate the potential heirs of the five major clans at once?'
Oliver's mind raced wildly as he considered many possibilities.
'Did someone in the clan do this? Was there a traitor among the elders who gave away the information?' he thought with a frown.
The bad feeling inside his chest was his instincts warning him repeatedly of the danger. That only meant that this matter was not so simple.
'Why would someone attack from the front so openly if they wanted to assassinate us?'
'Sigfor immediately went outside, then it could only mean they had done something huge that drew his attention to the extent that he was forced to leave personally rather than ensuring our safety first.'
'And that's probably what the enemy wanted as well,' he thought deeply.
All his conclusions and deductions so far pointed to one thing only.
'The enemies have already infiltrated inside through the barrier!'
