Chapter 9:

Attack on Castle

New Life Summoning


I found myself staring at the ceiling above me panting and shaking endlessly. "That must have been a nightmare," I whispered. I sat up looking around, then touched the side of my neck, it was completely drenched in sweat. I stood up from the bed and walked towards the desert-filled table, but I couldn't lift the fork with a piece of cake without losing it back on the marble plate. I felt like the bloodlust and pressure coming from that cloaked man was still there. I stood up from the table and walked towards the mirror. I then took a deep breath and then opened my status window. and to my surprise what I had experienced wasn't any dream [STATS]: [Race: Human] [Title's: Hero, Ascender] [Lvl:105] Skills: Seeker of Wisdom (A-rank), Scaredycat (AA-rank), Meteor rush (AA-rank) Lap-Skip (B-rank), Hardening (A-rank)] [Strength: 170] [Agility: 780] [Durability: 760] [Intelligence: 15] Soon it wasn't my stats that was flashed before my eyes -[AI System Voice, please choose. You can change this function later] [Man's voice-AI] or [Woman's voice-AI] The message was a fresh memory, "In the dungeon, I saw this" I said out loud. I clicked on the woman's voice and I half-expected something to happen but nothing was heard. I recalled my speed and durability to have skyrocketed, I wanted to test out what I was capable of now. I went over to the bed and stretched a bit. I then looked over to the door and I got in position to take off. I was going to try to one-step towards the door first before running. I then pushed hard from my right foot and before I knew it, I was on the other side inches from the wooden bedroom double door. I was significantly faster than before, but when I sprinted, nothing blurred while I was moving. I could see every object even tho I was moving at incredible speed. "Now to try if I can see a moving object clearly while moving myself". I rushed to the bed and picked up one of the pillows, I then got off the bed and was now facing the direction of the door. I then threw It with fast with minimal force and I then stepped aside and one-stepped toward the door while looking at the pillow and I could still see it even tho we were both moving I wasn't fully satisfied because I threw the object, It got a head start, and that because I didn't want to break anything I couldn't go all-out in this room. Even tho I had gotten such a powerful boost off's, I still felt uneasy, that man's pressure and bloodlust were no joke. I decided to go to Nagrom's place "I hope he is not sleeping or he will flaw me alive" I took a quick bath, I found a dark blue tunic with silver trim stripes. I exited my room and was now walking in the corridor, I then noticed two guards standing in front of the door leading to the hall that again was leading to the outside. Both of them had their two short words sheated. They must have noticed me before I could hide in the shadows because both of them unsheathed their swords. One of them augmented his sword in fire and came charging at me. He cloaked his two swords in flames and then ran towards me. The other one stood there with his sword ready guarding the door. **** As I arced my fire augmented swords towards the figure, the boy didn't seem to do anything. He just stared relaxed at me as I was about to swing my swords down at him. The figure then flashed to the right at an incredible speed as my sword swung towards him. My flame-augmented sword whistled harmlessly in the space where the figure previously stood. The figure then spun around and kicked me in the calf "Aagh" I cried, and as I fell to my knees I felt the wind forcefully being expelled out of my lungs. The world started to spin and my eyelids felt heavier, I then fell on my back and the world turned black. * I looked down at the guard I had just beaten, I picked up one of his swords and was now walking closer to the door. The remaining guard stood there shaking "P-please spare me" he dropped his swords as he stuttered the words, "I'm not here to make trouble, and I'm not an intruder just let me pass for god's sake" I sighed I then thought for a second that this guy might snitch on me if I don't knock him out. "Or sorry, well night, night," I said as I one-stepped behind the guard and gave a swift-chop at the side of his neck and soon the guard fell with his face on the floor. I watched as his helmet trilled off his head, I then went down and took his belt and sheath. I then wore the belt and placed the sheath on my left side, I then sheathed my sword. I then turned around and faced the double door I then pushed it open with a kick "Well that was badass" I said to myself. As soon as I stepped through the door I noticed that the door leading to the outside was open, I also saw several corpses of the guards. The fine floor, pillars, and walls not to mention the door was stained with blood. Swords and weapons were scattered. I also saw several injured men wearing cloaks. It was as if I had walked into a battlefield, I hissed those ignorant watch guards. They deserved to get knocked out.
