Tru barely dodged out the way as the Blue Horned Camel Moose crashed into a tree. It split the tree open like a knife through butter.
The moose shook its head for m the hard impact and turned to Tru.
It lowered it head and charged once again but Tru leaped into the air and punched with Blasphemy square into the moose's head. It's dropped down to the ground but quickly got up. A light blue mana aura enveloped it as it stood up.
It then shot out several Water Shots at Tru, some he dodged while others pelted his body. After each impact he felt his body grown slow and numb as if the water was sapping away his strength. The moose charged again but this time hit tru square on and flung him into a tree.
He landed with a loud bang and felt that his ribs were broken. His body healed itself from Ifrit's Regeneration and his chest felt like new.
"What the hell was that?" asked Tru.
"Isn't it obvious?" asked Wrath "Your body is made up of Pyro mana, of course it'd be weak to Hydro mana and its attacks. I'm starting to wonder that maaaaybe you weren't the brightest pick of champions."
"Ugh shut it, it's not like your instructions and tips have been thorough and clear. Just let me finish this." grumbled Tru as he pulled himself from the dent in the tree.
The moose dragged its hoof in the ground indicating it wa stoking to charge again. It did so but this time its horns were covered in Hydro Mana.
*DING*
Horn Rush(Active)- Rank D: "Skill allows user the run at high speeds while coating horns in mana to inflict damage."
The moose collided into tru with it horns and flung him upwards. Tru tumbled through the air like a ragdoll when he started falling and speed down like a bullet towards the moose. He brandished Blasphemy when he saw a man akin to a hobo emerge from the spiderwebs.
The man had his eyes closed but looked towards Tru who was falling and smiled. On his hip was a katana. He then looked to the moose who'd charged up with Hydro mana and pulled out the blade.
Though once it was full unsheathed there was no blade and the man was just holding a feathery black hilt with nothing attached to it. He swung down toward the Blue Horned Camel moose with the hilt.
"Silent Style: Single Slash!"
The man spoke in a Lois's whisper as he made a slashing motion and brought his hilt down to the ground. The moose had froze and the man put away his hilt. Not long after Yru landed on the ground kicking up a large dust cloud.
Tru weakly stood up and got a better look at the man. He could see that the mysterious figure was dressed in a white toga and wearing sandles. The sheath of his 'sword' was pitch dark black and seemed to be made of scales.
He looked upon Tru again with. A big smile and held out his hand. Tru was skeptical at first but too the stranger hand and stood up. The stranger still had his eyes closed but from his actions was aware of hiss surroundings.
"My lord." said the mysterious man
Tru looked at him with confusion before walking over to the frozen moose. It was unmoving whilst stuck in place. Tru used Ifrit's mana soul and could see that the magical beats as no longer alive.
Tru looked too the smiling man with great surprise. "What did you do to it? I didn't even see or sense mana from your attack." said Tru as he used Ifrit's Mana Soul on the man but was met with a massive head pain.
The man's smiled slightly dimmed at tru writhed in pain. "My lord I advise not to do that again, at least not yet." said the mysterious man.
The latter said nothing but looked at the man with anger and sigh at but was relieved that the pain went away. He fixed his composure whilst the man regained his bright smile.
"Why do you call me 'lord'?" question Tru.
The man's smile wiped from his face as he looked at Tru. The smile resumed once more without skipping a beat.
"I suppose you are right, it is too early for that title." said the man.
Tru felt himself becoming agitated at his answer and looked back to the moose. "What did you do to it?" asked Tru.
The man's smile beamed even harder as if he was have a psychotics break and he pulled out his blade less sword. "I used this, Tru. Can't you see how amazing the blade is? It was given to me by my master."
Tru could see none but the hilt even when he used Ifrit's Mana Soul, he saw nothing. Instead he molded sheepishly at the man's slain but too his surprised the man just shook his head.
"There is no reason to lie my lord. I know for now you cannot see my blade." explained the man.
Tru's heart quickened as his eyes became large as stones. He began to feel a dangerous air leak from the man and his smile. Though in contrary to Tru's feeling the man put the 'sword' away.
He then looked at the moose with a proud expression when it suddenly split down the middle into two parts. Tru looked in awe as the split moose fell to the ground. The surrounding spiders quickly covered the corpse and ate it, leaving thing it bones and the mana stone.
Tru looked at the man who gestured for him to take the stone. He used Blasphemy to pick it up and it immediately melted and disappears into the gauntlet.
*DING*
"You have gained +0 magic level"
"Shadow has gained +58 magic level"
"Shadow's current magical level 33333/150000"
Tru felt the magical energy enter his body but felt nothing of the rewards. He looked at the tattoo on his arm and could see glow and slightly grew in size. He looked back st the man who wa standing in front of him in silence.
"How do you know my name?" asked Tru.
The man looked slightly puzzled but then returned to him smile. "Who would not know the name Lord Tru after a while. I am not different from anyone else, except I offer myself as a humble servant."
The man smile after his response which had confused Tru quiet a bit but he ignore the man . He looked at l the spiders surrounding them and noticed they looked like some sort of protective wall.
The man too looked around when he stopped and walked to a specific spot. He again used his blade less hilt and cut open a path way. The path way was covered deeper in spiders and webs as the man walked to it. He like snack at Tru whom looked concerned at the self made entrance.
"Uh im going to be honest with you and say I don't know you, nor do I trust the path you have opened up." reluctantly said Tdu.
Though to his surprise th man wa not upset but nodded in agreement. Soon after several spiders came and webbed the cut entrance shut. The man shrugged before walking away.
"I am just here to help my lord, I mean no harm. Though now you know of a scecret entrance, through thick webs." said the myterious man.
Tru looked around with Ifrit's Mana soul could see that every web was infused with mana. He used Blasphemy and cut a small thread only for it to magically weld itself back together.
The mysterious man's mouth opened in awe as he clapped like a child. "Not a bad display my lord though I suspect it will take more mana power than that."
Tru rolled his eyes I nannoyance before sighing in frustration. "You seem to be familiar with this area, what is this place?" asked Tru.
"This is the Emerald Forest." replied the man with a large smile.
Tru could feel his bloods reach its boiling point as he slapped himself in the forehead. "No dummy what is this place that we are currently in?!" yelled Tru loudly as his voice scared of birds and nearby beast.
"Oh that is what you were asking my lord. This area is called Grove of Arachnids." replied the man.
*DING*
"You'd have discovered secret dungeon Grove of Arachnids."
Tru closed the notification with a wide smiled when he turned back and looked at the man. He crossed his arms and looked at his unsightly figure.
"What is your name?" asked Try as he eyed the man.
The man smiled in return with a drop bow.
He raised his head with his eyes still composed and a smile plastered across his mug.
"I am called Madneas but you may call me Mad, my dear lord."
