POV adventurer association
after a day of notice all of the important people of the association already gather on the meeting hall
as usual they maybe important people, but there will always be conflict, some of them debate and some are almost on the verge of fighting each other.
suddenly the room opened and a group of people came in, they wear a high quality armor and bringing a visibly high level weapon, behind them is the association president.
the president went to stand behind the podium and overlooking the adventurer and the heroes that just came in.
"Welcome all of you, today I summoned all of you here because of a very important matter...." the president was suddenly cut by a young man who looks like a delinquent "old man we already heard a rumor, it seems there's a traveling merchant, and that traveling merchant has a very close trade relation to that dungeon master."
"yes, but it's not just that, the said dungeon is strong enough to kill a hero at the beginning."
"what's the problem with that, it is easy to kill a dungeon master as well at the beginning."
suddenly a girl with blonde and captivating blue eyes interjected "Darius stop disturbing the president talking and just listen to him first."
the young man shot a glaring sight at the girl, the girl is beauty that can be describe as natural and show an aura of warmth that emanates from within. She carries herself with a natural grace, her aura reminiscent of the gentle spirits found in quiet village.
even though she looks gentle but those who have witness her on the battlefield can vouch she is not a flower grown in a green house, and the victim as well living proof of that is the young man who once attempt to mess with the gentle and homely girl.
"thank you Jeanne, and Darius please listen to my explanation, the reason I call you all here for this certain dungeon is because not only he killed a hero but he also destroy a dungeon that kidnap and force the citizen of X city, the city already reported that the captive were set free and given a chance to run while his army fought." he paused for a moment to let the people to analyze the information then continue "I call you here to make a vote, hoping that we can allied ourselves with the dungeon master."
hearing the president word some are shocked and some have a calm expression as if they already expected this.
"old man have you gone senile, working together with a dungeon master, do you think is it possible?"
"Darius what are you talking about, it is normal for the president to hope for having a peaceful resolution and you're being disrespectful to the president."
"SHUT UP, I'm not talking to you I'm asking the old man for confirmation."
"QUITE DOWN, I know you all have opposition, but let me elaborate, the dungeon master himself can be said is equal to a country, and add the point that the dungeon master we discussing is not only powerful but also is smart, showing the fact that he only make those who enter his dungeon fainted, it means he is strong enough to hold back so he can spare someone, this is not only once or twice, but constantly."
hearing his word the people in the room started to quite down and discussed among one another, while they discussed the president ask the staff to hand over a paper containing the option of peace, neutral, and subjugation on the paper.
after discussion the mass started to check one of the box silently and put it into a lock box, until finally all of them have put their ballot into the box.
after all of the people finish putting their choice in the ballot, the president order the staff to count all of the voice and announce the many people here choose to make peace and try to have a beneficial relationship.
"I'm quite happy that many of the people here hope for peace, and I'm quite surprise that you vote for neutral Darius."
"I vote neutral because I want you to call the dungeon master here to discuss with all of us, if not I would come and attack his dungeon."
"Hmmm, I will start the peace talk with him and have him visit the city."
hearing the word of confirmation the other neutral side now agree with the president to have a peaceful relation, but not all of them agree among them are planning for other option behind everyone back, without realizing the president have been watching them from the very start.

POV ???
in a dark room there a group of people who dress in a dark cloak gather to make their plan in killing Raiya or at the least hold him back and stop him from returning and supporting the dungeon.
"everyone here you all agree to stop this meeting, first we want to forced him to stay here if he comes with a bodyguard, a dungeon master is quite dangerous if he bring his Dungeon boss."
"how about we make him leave behind his subordinate and make them wait outside or far away from him?"
"we can ask the association to force him to remove his bodyguard."
"wonderful, now how can we eliminate him, even without his subordinate he is still quite powerful we can be sure of that after all he can eliminate a hero and dungeon master."
"how about we used a item to block the death attribute mana makin him locked from mana powerful skill?"
after hearing that all of them voice there agreement and started to carefully plan all of this and was ready to prepare their move and force Raiya into a closed trap, while not knowing that Raiya is not from the undead but a Eternael who is born to manipulate void and death.

POV Raiya
in the training ground both Farian and I are fighting each other, Farian is using soul chain to constantly stopping me from using my magic spell, I use a tier 0th magic telekinesis and slip to suddenly to make him lose his balance, seeing the opportunity I rush forward and attack him with a sword clad with fire attribute.
realizing he can't dodge this attack he fired a powerful and explosive undead flame to forced me back, making me lose the chance of attack, noticing my attack is limited and not flexible I thought of combining the space attribute in my footwork, at first it was very unstable but slowly I started to mix not only my footwork but also using it on my weapon, finally I started to sense the surrounding space attribute to converge and used it to distort the space surrounding him, making his attack miss and suddenly sending my attack that looks coming to the front and sending it towards his back, surprise he put his weapon to counter it, but my attack has already landed a hit on his back.
seeing that I landed an attack we concluded the end of the training.
"congratulation sir, it seems your basic sword technique now have become a unique technique."
hearing his word I start to check a notification
Your basic sword technique has evolved
Basic Sword Technique >>> Voidstride Sword Technique
Voidstride Sword Technique
The "Voidstride Sword Techniques" is a sophisticated and enigmatic set of sword techniques that harness the power of space elements. This unique and advanced swordsmanship style allows the practitioner to manipulate the very fabric of space to their advantage during combat.
When a swordsman wields the Voidstride Sword Techniques, their strikes become infused with the essence of spatial manipulation. They can seemingly teleport short distances, creating the illusion of vanishing and reappearing at will. This sudden displacement confounds opponents and makes it extremely challenging to predict the user's movements.
"yes it seems to change and become Voidstride Sword Techniques, Farian let's stop here for now tomorrow we will continue our training, today I want to focus on advancing from toward Tier 2."
"as you wish sir, before i return ro my post I want to report it seems Valthorian sends me a massage there is movement on the city, it seems there's a meeting at the Adventurer Association, the specific is not clear because our wraithlings cannot enter while being detected."
"Farian tell Valthorian to come to my workroom at night to discuss further for this problem, you come as well it seems we have to have a preperation."
after hearing my words he salute me and went back to the dungeon throne to continue his job while I went to my own room to clean my self and after that silently sit in a meditating way and start to gather and compress my mana on my heart to make a circle of engraving to advance my rank.
