"Tch didn't give me a chance to rest." Alan was disappointed by the hospitality of this almighty named Anna.
Alan decided to get up; still breathing rapidly. He decided to inhale and exhale to calm his breathing and gave a final look at the task.
Second wave
Kill 5 Gremlin in an hour.
You didn't use any buff in the first wave as a reward; your agility increased.
"Wow, Anna, thanks for your kind grace." Alan smiled, looking at his task screen. The only thing he was lacking has been solved.
[I'm the kindest soul in the entire world, huhuhuhahaha] Anna laughed like a maniac.
"Yeah, yeah, I know. How kind you are?" Alan chuckled, crossing his arms.
After a minute, Alan ventured deeper into the forest because he couldn't find any gremlin in the range of 2 km. The moonlight struggled to penetrate the thick canopy above, the pungent smell filled his nostrils.
After walking for a minute, he heard a sound; the sound was both mischievous and unsettling, and the sound was not far away.
He saw five gremlins; they were 80 m away from him. He gripped his sword tightly.
Not only their laughter was unsettling, but their appearance was also unsettling to him.
The gremlins were about half his height, green skin with large green eyes, and sharp jagged teeth forming wide grins, holding blades in their hands.
"Gremlins are smarter than Howlers, so I should move cautiously," Alan muttered, looking at his surroundings to see if anything could be useful.
Alan decided he should first separate the gremlins, and then he would take them one by one.
He found 2-3 big trees in the south, about 30 m. He moved steadily southward, keeping a watchful eye on them.
Alan decided to use this as a cover; use their weakness to his advantage. Even though he wasn't an awakener before, he studied everything about rifts, dreadminds, and awakeners. That's why, in the awakening exam, he came first in the written test in Ocorus City.
Gremlins have a weakness; they can't see anything clearly in a 25 m distance, and they are easily provoked.
He had a total of 15 arrows in the quiver; he took out the arrows and one by one shot all of them in 5 directions.
The Gremlins, with their large ears, picked up the sound and thought someone was attacking them, and they each sprinted in different directions where the arrows had been shot.
Alan looked at the one near him, who was checking his surroundings and holding the arrow.
He walked steadily toward it, not making any sound. When he reached the gremlin, he grabbed it from behind. Before it could make any sound, Alan pierced its head with the blade Gremlin was holding.
"Phew, 1 down, 4 more to go," Alan mumbled in a soft voice and looked at the timer, which said 15 minutes had passed. "Time to speed up."
The four gremlins holding the arrows and looking at their surroundings with angry looks on their faces, suddenly one of the gremlins walked towards the place where he stood.
Alan quickly hid the body of the one he had killed and covered himself behind the big tree where he previously was.
Looking at this gremlin and the dead one, a sudden thought popped into his mind: now he had found a way to quickly end these gremlins.
During the previous wave, his mastery over his skills has increased, and he has found that with his authority, he can control an opponent's soul for a few seconds who is the same level as him with weak willpower or weaker than him, and the opponent must be close to him. In this moment he is their master, his order is above all for them.
So he decided to use these gremlins as his guinea pig to test his skill.
When the gremlin was close to him, he used authority; there was no change in the gremlin's body, but with his gaze, he could see the golden light that enveloped his sword previously, now all over the gremlin's body.
Alan gave the gremlin an instruction to kill all the other gremlins, with his order the gremlin dashed towards the one close to him, and with his blade, he slits its throat, there were no emotions in the gremlin's eyes, even after killing one of their kind.
"Fuck, this skill is too overpowered, and all my skills can evolve as I evolve, they have no ranks, the only exception is eternal gaze," Alan exclaimed, A grin broke across Alan's face as adrenaline surged through him felt gratitude towards Anna," Now onto the next."
With the gremlin walking towards the remaining two, Alan also steadily walked with it, but covering himself in the trees, right now he could kill these gremlins with his power, but he wanted to know what was the limit of his skill.
The other two gremlins were holding the arrow he had shot, both seemed to talk about something which Alan couldn't understand.
As the gremlin Alan controlling reached them, they both looked at it confusingly, both of them nodded their head, and ended their discussion.
"Gr, grrr, grrr."
Alan couldn't understand what they were saying, but their voice sounded they are really angry.
In a flash their head was rolling on the floor, Alan could see their last expression before they lost their lives, it was a blend of shock, anger, and sadness. The gremlin stood there emotionless, looking at their lifeless bodies.
Alan looked at the timer, it showed only 10 minutes left, he walked towards the only alive gremlin.
"So, he turned into a puppet, it's a cool skill, does it only work on dreadminds or humans can be controlled?" Alan thought, but his thoughts broke when he saw the golden light leaving the gremlin's body, he knew what was happening.
"Too bad, this is my limit, but thanks for your help," Alan sliced its head, the gremlin died without knowing the cause of his death.
The second wave ended

Alan looked at the screen in front of him, after a minute the robotic voice stopped, and this time he felt that his rank also increased with his attributes, he felt he was close to the next rank.
" This time the rewards are good, as I'm close to the next rank, with my buff, I think it'd -
Suddenly Alan felt someone was looking at him, and this someone didn't have any good intentions.
The third wave started
