"Hahaha! I knew you were an interesting one, Lee Gaon. Death Eater, huh? Sounds scary."
His tone was playful, like that of a man-child.
"Not too shabby yourself, Kim Seong-Hoon. I see we both possess evolved stats. But I must say, I'm at a bit of a disadvantage with your level being higher than mine."
"I am not one to judge a book by its cover."
That cunning smile of his made want to vomit. I could clearly see him looking down on already.
"On the count of three?"
"I agree."
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
My first move was to instantly use Space Distortion. The mont I used it, a blue beam of cold light was already in my face. Quickly dodging to the side, I launched a Kinetic Slash as a counterattack, which my opponent t with an ice wall.
I couldn't see him behind the wall. Then a deafening roar sounded from that location. The figure that was hiding there jumped into the air and unleashed his blade. His eyes transford into dragon eyes, and his muscles looked slightly bigger than before.
My instincts scread to use the Kinetic Shield. Before I even knew what was happening, I was sent flying by a powerful sword attack. I hit the tree behind with my feet and propelled myself to launch back at my attacker. My scythe was ready to slice him in half. I felt imnse rage overtaking slowly.
My scythe collided with the dragon sword, and sparks flew in every direction. I swapped the scythe to my left arm and made an upward attack, aiming for his crotch. The defender quickly jumped into the air, making a backflip. I knew I had to keep pressing the attack, so I sent another Kinetic Slash at him.
Kim Seong-Hoon t my attack with his sword at the sa mont he landed. My slash attack redirected to a nearby tree, slicing it in half like tofu.
My attack power has greatly increased, but my opponent is too strong...
"Hey, missy! It's not very ladylike to attack a man's taboo area!"
"Like I care!"
I sent another Kinetic Slash at him and used Soul Shackle at the sa ti. I saw my opponent's expression drop when he noticed he couldn't move. The next mont, he was sent flying by the impact. However, before my attack landed on him, I saw his face and skin becoming scaly.
What a powerful defensive skill!
I couldn't help but feel shocked and start to admire this person. He was on a completely different level than anyone I had t so far.
A dragon's roar sounded, and I saw my opponent slowly getting up.
"Yes! This is what I wanted to experience! A true battle! Lee Gaon! From today on, you're my sister!"
"Who's your sister? I don't have a wild brother like you!"
"Hahaha! We'll see! Co! The loser has to call the winner 'big sibling!'"
"I never agreed to that!"
I used Darkness Steps to get close to him, watching his movents. Our eyes t, and we both knew the real battle was about to start, and I could no longer hold back.
My agility skyrocketed, and I felt like a cheetah about to hunt its prey. Activating my Space Distortion skill, I dashed at Kim Seong-Hoon at lightning speed. His expression didn't show surprise at my sudden attack. His weapon transford, suddenly sprouting razor-sharp teeth that I could only compare to what dinosaurs might have had.
I spun my scythe in a circle before using that energy to spin my body from the waist, increasing the attack power to strike Kim Seong-Hoon with a powerful blow. He didn't dodge and took it directly.
Lunatic!
I saw his smile grow like a blooming flower. I enjoyed this battle, and so did he. For the first ti, we got to fight another human.
Our faces were close, and we looked each other deep in the eyes. I felt a strange sensation looking into those dragon eyes, and my vision blurred slightly before returning to normal.
"You have an extrely powerful soul, Lee Gaon... How interesting. The guy I used my soul attack on before had his mind completely shattered the mont our eyes t. But you... you must have a soul that's much stronger than mine! How fascinating!"
"Thanks for the complint, but I'd love you to get the hell out of my face."
"Why? Am I too charming for you?"
"You wish!"
My rage grew, and I used Space Distortion to back away from him before slashing in a horizontal line.
Kim Seong-Hoon, to my surprise, was pushed back several ters by my attack, landing against a tree. His expression was ugly. He looked at as if I were so sort of monster.
We exchanged blow after blow, each of our attacks becoming more ferocious. Kim Seong-Hoon managed to slash my waist. The pain was excruciating, but I held on. My body regeneration quickly healed my wound.
"Had enough, sis?"
"Like hell! And don't call sis!"
His arrogant, annoying smile made want to puke. I really wanted to kill this guy now. With my current mana, I could easily fight for a prolonged ti.
It should be ti now!
I felt a surge of power. The bottom of my dress turned into violet flas, and my scythe shone with golden light. My Laughing at Death skill finally reached one hundred stacks. My attack and defense increased by 30%, and my speed and vision received a boost.
"It's over for you, Kim Seong-Hoon!"
I gathered all my energy to launch an empowered Kinetic Slash at my opponent. A black crescent moon attack flew through the air and hit Kim Seong-Hoon in the chest before he could even dodge.
Did I overdo it?
I was worried this attack might have actually killed him. A bloodied body hit a tree ten ters away, and hit the cold ground. His body rested against the tree without any signs of movent. But I knew he was still alive because the system ssage hadn't announced his death.
He's a tough guy; I bet he can easily survive.
"Let's go, Malrang! There's nothing left here to do."
"Woo!"
Malrang ran to , happily wagging its tail. In an instant, it jumped onto my shoulder, and as we were about to leave, the voice I least wanted to hear rang in my ears.
"Not even going to check on ? Perhaps I'm heavily injured, or worse! I might be dying, and this is the last ti we can talk! Ahh, so tragic!"
"You're clearly alive and well... why put on an act?"
"Hehe... My big sister is really the best; you instantly saw through ."
"Who gave you the right to call your big sister?"
", of course. Please help up, big sis... I can barely move... Ahhh!... The pain!"
"Even if you die, so what?"
"No, don't say that! I still have a long life ahead of ."
"Sigh... Okay. But if you dare call big sis again, I'll smash your head into that tree!"
"I got it! Big sis!"
"You piece of...!"
His smiling face suddenly looked warm and sincere. I couldn't bring myself to shout at him any longer.
"So, what's your plan if I help you up?"
"To kill you!"
"..."
I couldn't tell anymore if he was lying or telling the truth. This person was a complete psychopath.
"Haha! You're so easy to tease! I want to follow you; I bet we could make a good team."
"Us?"
"Yes!"
We looked at each other for a good minute. I'd been alone for so long, and I wasn't ready to trust anyone. Especially not him. One look at him put in a bad mood.
"Forget it. You can do much better on your own. With your Dragon Blood Warrior role, you can easily reach a high level."
"True. But even so, I want to follow you."
"Why? Did you fall for ?"
"Who knows..." That teasing smile on his handso face was too much for as a single girl.
For the first ti, I felt my face burning slightly.
"Tsk! Sweet talk... Save it for other won; it's not going to work on ."
"Really? But I saw you blush just now."
"Nonsense!" My face felt like it was burning, and I wanted to get out of this situation as quickly as possible.
"I did!"
"If you say another word, I'll leave you here!"
"At least you're no longer denying that you accept my offer.
I extended my hand to him. I felt that his playful behavior was his unique trait, and I sensed I could trust this person for the ti being.
"Let's be partners, then. But know this: if you ever betray , I'll make sure you suffer the worst death possible!"
"How scary!"
His tone was mocking, but I didn't mind.
Kim Seong-Hoon grabbed my hand, and I pulled him up.
"By the way, even before the battle, I ant to ask you sothing, big sis."
"Huh? What is it?"
"Why would you choose the dress out of all outfits? Doesn't it get in the way in battle?"
"What do you an, 'choose'? This is armor made from my soul. I had no choice in this. That stupid Creator or whatever forced this on ."
"Made out of your soul? So, if you're unconscious, will it disappear?"
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOUR INTENTIONS?"
"Nothing... I was just asking out of curiosity." He held his hands up like a child surrendering to his mother after being too naughty.
This person... I swore to myself that one day, if he made a mistake, I would kill him.
"You are really pissing off! But speaking of clothes, you got to choose yours?"
"Of course. Everyone did. You're the first one I've t with such an extravagant outfit."
"If I ever find that stupid Creator, I'll make him pay the price for humiliating ."
"But you know, big sis, it looks good on you. It goes well with your black hair and neon purple eyes."
"Ah? Oh... Thank you, I guess..."
Wait, neon purple eyes? What does he an by that?
"What do you an by neon purple eyes? My eyes are brown."
"Well, not anymore. I saw your eye color change after your previous battle."
It probably has sothing to do with the Soul Knight evolution.
"How long have you been stalking , creep..." My body instinctively backed away from him.
"I..."
"Whatever... forget it. Do you know the way out of this forest?"
"I do. If we head east from here, it should take around twenty minutes to reach the grass fields."
"I ca from the grass fields..."
"This forest is surrounded by grass fields. I found this out from the other players who have been here for around a week."
"A week? I've only been here for two days. How far have other players reached in leveling?"
I saw a hint of unease and fear paint Kim Seong-Hoon's usually goofy face.
"You might not like what I'm about to say. There are rumors that one person has already reached level ten. But I haven't t him myself."
"Level ten? What a monster!"
If I ever run into this person, I won't be able to defend myself. I have to get stronger as soon as possible!
My heart burned with determination and hope. I wanted to be the strongest. In this world, no one could claim I cheated if I defeated them in a fair battle.
