Upon waking up, Ace quickly packs up having to stay moving to avoid being caught by the Wyvern.

as he continues moving forward he quickly finds a huge mountain towering in front of him. Shocked at the contrast of the pure white void and the rocky towering mountain, perched along the sides of the mountain are 8 Rock Crabs guarding a giant King Mountain Crab, Ace moves forward, before he makes it close to the mountain the crabs climb down and start attacking him.

Ace using what's left of his speed boost he swiftly draws his two swords and appears behind the snake as the snake slams into the ground, leaving a small crator behind.

Ace strikes with his sword, landing a hit on the snakes neck, leaving a fairly deep wound. The snake reacts by turning around and biting the air where Ace was before.

The snake moves in what looks to be slow Mo for Ace, he quickly dodges the bite attack and as the snakes jaws close he lands two strikes on the snakes body, killing the snake painlessly.

"Ding... you have reached level 46."

Ace lands and loots the body, obtaining 1 Poison Fang, 3 Support blessing shards, 1 enhancement blessing shard and 2 element blessing shards.

Ace takes a break as the speed boost runs out. wishing he could use the items he has gotten to make new weapons and gear.

Ace packs up and heads forward again, Finding a small building, the building looks to be similar to a church. A tall bell tower at the back of the building reaching into the sky. As Ace enters he finds that the inside of the church is well kept, the outside looks like its falling apart but as Ace walks through the old wooden doors, a lush golden carpet lines the floor, along with polished statues and sparkling stained glass line the walls along with old tapestries that have been well preserved. Gold accents on the furniture sparkle as Ace walks down the isle. 

2 priest looking people walk out from in front of him "Who are you? are you trapped in this dungeon like we are?" One of them says.

"I am stuck in here. I thought it would be a good place to train but turns out its a death trap." Ace says sadly.

"I see, we came in as a large group of knights to survey the dungeon. but we where all slaughtered except for us. We used a blessing to make this building to protect us." the same guy says.

"It must be a powerful blessing. may I ask what power level it is?" Ace asks curiously.

"Yes but first come with us and lets sit" They say as they lead him to a back room where a large fancy table stands in the centre with plush chairs surrounding it, they take a seat.

"So you are you guys?" Ace asks.

"Forgive us, I am Henry and my friend here is Ellen. We both where knights, i specialise in holy support blessings and she focuses on physical enhancement blessings and martial arts. The blessing making this building is Holy Place, a power level 20 Holy element blessing that makes a protective barrier and a building for prayer and healing. Unfortunately I can't use any other blessings while this is active." Henry states.

"I defend us from minor monsters but I can barely keep up with the packs of wolves let alone the king monsters and their minions." Ellen Chimes in.

"I see... I have defeated one king monster before but I barely survived. Then I found a second one and it was even stronger so I had to run." Ace says in return.

"Wow, you must be strong to even face those monsters." Henry pitches in.

"I would love to have a duel then" Ellen asks Ace.

"Sure why not." Ace reply's. 

Ellen and Ace head out the front, Ace drawing his weapon and summoning his shield. "I can already sense a great power coming from that sword and shield no wonder you can face king monsters" Ellen says

Ellen activates a few of her blessings and charges at Ace with blinding speed. Ace barely dodges the attack and lands a full on shield bash into Ellen's body. Sending her back a few metres, leaving a few deep cuts along her body. "I see, your fast and strong. I was the second fastest in the knight order back home so you must be pretty fast to dodge an attack from me and then land a blow like that" Ellen says as she backs away and heads back into the building, as she enters all of her wounds stop bleeding and become barely a scrape.

"I did study martial arts under one of the 10 dragons and my combat rating has hit 190 so I should be strong." Ace says as he walks into the building with them.
