Weeks later
A battle was reaching it's climax where two individuals were facing a bear. The individual looked like each other with the only difference being that one was all black while the other had normal looking skin. The bear was heavily wounded and the duo were not giving it time to regroup. They were attacking it from every direction and every opening they received. When finally the bear was at it's last legs the person with normal skin suddenly grew faster and the shadow figure jumped and attached it's self with the sabers. The figure using it's strength cut clean the bear's head. He landed behind it and took a breath. He looked behind him and smiled. This was none other than Alexander.
For the pass weeks he had been increasing his strength, and fighting technicians by hurting corrupted animals. It was getting easy for him as the days went by not because he was far stronger but because he was far skilled. Thanks to his shadow self as well he was practicing more mana skills. Thanks to the forest having long and huge trees, which would give big shades, his shadow had 85% of his strength which was a big help.
Name: Alexander vale
Race: Elf
Level 27
Rank: Awaken ( Ascension stage)
Mana:36/55
Attitude: Shadow
Blessing: Shadow Moncah
During this weeks, increasing his level had become a little problem. His mana on the other hand had increased thanks to his constant use of it these days. He would practice it every single day and now he could bring out his shadow for 25 minutes no fighting and 15 minutes fwhile fighting. This was incredible to do in just two months after awakening. As he was in his own head three figures were running towards him at a fast rate. They stopped in front of him and saw the dead bear. They were around his age and were all boys. These boys were from Academy and were actually in the same class as Alexander.
"Incredible, Alexander you just took down another corrupted bear." The boy in the middle said.
"Yeah with this much improvement it won't shock me if you advance to the next step within a month." The one to the left exclaim. The last one only nodded in agreement showing a sign of respect towards Alexander.
The reason it was now difficult to increase his level was not because he couldn't find strong enough creatures but it was because the was a shortage of them. Ever since his mates found that he was hurting in the forest safe zone to get experience as well as grow stronger, they have also been coming to hurt here. Unlike Alexander who did things on his own they would form a group of at least 4 to hurt and gain experience. The Academy teachers were actually impressed and encouraged this. They encouraged it so much that a teacher would go to the safe zone every day to watch over them. This really gave the students motivation and they didn't have much worry. Alexander on the other hand was pissed off about the fact that some one was watching him fight every single time. When ever he was going to try something new someone would see it which would could him to have fewer trump cards.
Alexander looked at the boys and nodded. It was getting dark and it was time for him to leave and go home. As he was running through the forest he heard a sound. It sounded like that of someone screaming for help. He followed the noise and found a tree to see. In front of him was a boy who was running from a pack of wolves. He noticed that the boy didn't have a weapon or any mana inside him. This boy was at least a year younger than Alexander. This boy was a normal elf kid and was yet unlock his mana. Alexander smiled and sat at the branch.
"It's been a while since I last saw real slaughter happen in front of me." Alexander smiled as he prepared to watch the show. The boy was running with all his might but a real perditaor would notice that the wolves were the ones leading the boy to a corner.
"Hahaha! What a fool. Just a little more and... wait a minute this guy looks familiar."
Alexander then started to rub his chin trying to remember where he had since him before. After some time he remembered. This was the Grand Elder of pills' second son. Alexander's father had a good relationship with this man so Alexander automatically knew this boy. But this revelation still wouldn't help the boy since Alexander wasn't in the mood but suddenly he had an idea and smiled. He stood up and his shadow manifested beside him. It jumped with two shadow sabers in hand. Alexander followed suit.
------------
Peter kept running for his life as the wolves kept chasing him from every angle. He knew he was being led into a corner but there was nothing he could do to stop it from happening.
"Damn it. Why is this happening to me all of a sudden. I just wanted to get a goddamn flower." Peter cursed the wolves and himself for everything.
Looking ahead he saw that his path was going to be blocked by two other wolves. He stopped and looked behind him. Three wolves and two at each side. The wolves slowly approach him making sure that their prey wouldn't escape.
"Usually in those books I read as the main character am supposed to unlock some hidden power so..." Peter closed his eyes and exhaled hard. "Raaahhhh" He shouted at the top of his lungs which suddenly sounded like a mighty roar. The wolves suddenly shocked backed away and run in the direction they came.
Peter stood tall with a bust of gold aura coming from his body.
"From this day onward, I am king. King of the jungle."
Suddenly a loud laughter came from behind him and he suddenly came back to reality. Everything that happened was all in his head. He didn't have any gold aura, he didn't scare the wolves with his roar which actually sounded like a dog who's cry when it's tail was stepped on. Everything was in his head. He looked behind him only to see a kid at least a year older than him laughing while holding his bully.
"Hahahaha! What was that...a mighty king roar? Hahaha!!! And you said king of what? The jungle? Hahahahaha" Alexander laughed his ass off after witnessing the events that just happened. He kept laughing for a good minute with even the wolves looking at this new person with surprise. They didn't even see when he happened. This was very worrying because the wolves used their senses to know whether they could win a fight or not. But suddenly this elf appeared out of nowhere.
"Alright, now that am done with that. Let's help you out." Alexander smiled. Suddenly a shadow appeared beside the wolf at the right and slash it's head. It then disappeared into the deep shadows. Alexander brought out his sabers and advanced to the first three wolves.
For the next two minutes, what Peter watched was a massacre. It wasn't Alexander who was at the receiving end but the wolves. The shadow figure would only appear when the wolves were distracted and would kill them with a single strike. After the massacre Alexander walked towards him and he shadow went back to being his shadow under his feet.
"So, you ready to meet daddy pill." He said with a smile.
