Chapter 4 - emerge.

The archives were amazing. It's vast area was only bound to the knowledge it could contain.

"Sepsis, come here I found something".

I need to get stronger.

Because at the rate I am growing, I will never catch up to him.

"What did you find"?

"Apparently Orion could summon the dead as a weapon at his disposal".

"They are more like a lifeless corpse at your every command but".

Wow this is everything I have ever wanted.

Army of the UnDead.

That's what I will call them.

"It says here you first have to kill them and then feed them your blood".

"And if your power level is similar, you can summon them".

"It's called 'emerge'".

"Who is there"!

"Quick grab my hand and don't make any sudden movements" I said.

I nullified our presence by making us perceived as dead to any normal person.

"Let's run".

What the hell was that". She asked.

"I can basically make myself invisible".

"I was once in your room and you did even notice ha-.

"Owie".

"Perv".

*next day*

"Class today we will be doing our first dungeon".

"It will be a C rank dungeon and will be split into 3 groups".

"Adela what is this C rank thing".

"Threat is split into ranks determined by power level.

"E is anything between 0-500".

"D is anything between 500-1000".

"C is between "1000-5000".

"B is 5000-50000".

"A is 50000-500,000".

"And S is anything more than 500,000".

"Your group will be determined by your power level".

"May the 3 strongest students stand up".

"Zico, sepsis and Adela".

"You 3 will be heading into a semi B rank dungeon".

"Your power level's are the best in the school by far".

"Say the word and i will teleport you".

"We're ready".

This dungeon is incomparable to anything i have witnessed until this point.

We were in a dismal cave.

It didn't take much to sense the aura resonating from the back of the cave.

"We need a plan". Said Adela

"Zico will be our main strike force with me acting as a sub damage dealer".

"And you sepsis, can be our tank judging based of the fact your an immortal".

"The cave has so many holes". Said zico

"Why are you scared"?

"Oh shut it".

"Sepsis, what can you sense".

"Maybe 10, no closer to 50 entities".

"Here they come".

"Get out the way. NOW".

A hoard of spiders close to the size of your typical bedroom crashed down on us.

If it wasn't for Adela, I would've been as dead as an immortal can be.

"Arcane, lux flash".

My eyes could barely track her movement.

She moved as graciously as a swan but her attacks was comparable to an angel. So swift yet so powerful.

I finally see.

This is the power of a being who is royal blooded.

"Amazing".

"So when will you boys stop being idle and start picking up the slack".

"Arcane apparition mortem orb. Increase 10 fold."

They are all so amazing.

How have I fallen behind them.

"Vita gladius first form, vita gladius".

And I will pair that up with.

"Arcane technique, blitz".

"Wow god job sepsis you finally took out your first spider".

"Ha ha so funny".

"There is still around 20 of them left, lets get going".

It's not that the spider wasn't strong.

It's the fact that we were monsters of ourself

In a world where your innate talent is all you are gifted,we are a calamity with a complete disregard for other monsters.

"This is the boss room".

"You guys ready"? Said Adela.

"Let's crack this baby wide open". Said zico

The dungeon room was incomparable to the rest of the cave.

It was as if a human had designed the place.

"The webs".

"It's as sharp as the swords we use for training".

"Guys I have a bad feeling, let's turn back".

But they didn't listen.

It moved way too fast,

My eyes couldn't track its monstrous movements.

All I could see was the menacing trail of mana that he left,

In a brief second.

Adela got kicked on her side and was blasted onto the wall.

"Zico we have to turn around and regroup".

"Let's grab her and go, now zico!"

I looked around the room and all I could see was the trail of blood that was left in his path.

"VITA GLADIUS COME BACK HERE NOW".

"It hasn't even been a month since you got these powers and your already back".

"Oh does this mean I am dead".

"No your not dead rather your in a place where time doesn't flow".

"That girl, Adela was it"?

"Yeah ,what about her".

"She's really special isn't she"?

"Yeah way more talented than me".

"She's dead, you know that right"?

"Eat shit".

"This wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for you".

"You left me nothing but your shitty power and your shitty sword".

"Shitty sword"? "Haha".

"Think about that sword as roots".

"You pour enough mana into it, it can change".

"Think of vita gladius as if it was a root".

"I don't have that much mana".

"Your arcane needs mana to keep you immortal".

"And it rejuvenates your mana an infinite number of times every single second".

"You can never run out of mana".

"It was one of the many blessings bestowed upon you".

"Thanks Orion".

"Don't thank me".

"For some reason those assholes up there wants you to have this power".

"What you waiting for? Go save her".

"I thought she was dead".

"She will be if you carry on talking to me".

"Hopefully I don't see your sorry ass anytime soon".

"Same here".

Now.

Roots huh.

Blood.

Looks like I am bleeding.

Now would be the perfect time to try the emerge skill.

"Vita gladius come here".

I cut my finger so now it should have my blood.

"Emerge Zōí".

Wow. It's like he is not human but yet.

He has a green and white aura.

No it's not aura rather mana.

He has constructed a shadow like aura from pure mana

Scary

"Yes master".

"Kill".

"Yes master".
