Requiem Of A Failed Hero

[Greed has consumed an extremely high grade monster essence]

"What?!!"

Raith jumped up! Forgetting for a minute that his bone was a wreck. He lowered the next moment, holding his back due to the ache.

"What the hell did you do?!" Trying not to shout, Raith covered his mouth at the last minute.

Having dispelled the entire darkness in the area, the place was now clearer than it used to be. There was nothing spectacular about the view, just dark rocks filling everywhere. It was a cave.

Because of the disappearance of the morbid darkness, the echo of his voice could be easily heard… if there was anyone up there of course.contemporary romance

Raith immediately entered his soul. His vision transitioned in less than a second and a beautiful plane unfurled before his eyes.

Red and Blue could not be found around. Perhaps they were somewhere resting after playing around.

Now onto the reason why he was here. Raith's eyes shot to the mass of darkness that stared suspended in the air.

But something was different about it this time around. It was unstable…

Raith narrowed his gaze.

"What's happening?" He inquired.

[Due to the high grade of the material, GREED is undergoing some anomalies trying to absorb it. This might require GREED to change its features in some certain way or ultimately cause some changes in its features]

Raith raised a brow. 'Taking that core affected it that much?'

The ball of darkness was rippling around its edges, it was like thousands of other darkness were trying to yank free from it.

But it continued to keep them within itself as result of that struggled there was now this unstability and chaotic disturbance that rapidly distorted it in shape.

Raith who had come here to nag at the thing didn't know what to say or do. It looked like it was suffering.

Raith sighed and elected himself from the plane. Opening his eyes back to the familiar darkness he looked up and looked at where the corpse of the dreadsoul would have been if it didn't get absorbed by [Dark Borne]

"...what in the world am I supposed to tell that damned Asura" Raith muttered to himself, bringing his hand to his face and shaking his head.

While he was in the midst of that, a low growl escaped his stomach.

'I thought I had breakfast not too long ago…' He looked up. It was time to proceed out of this place.

Thard - Harl was right in his approach. This turned out to be the best training Raith could have received.

Because of his encounter with the dreadsoul, he had mastered… he felt he had mastered Neofut form to a very good credibility.

Of course, there was probably more he needed to do but Raith was sure he was onto a good start. Another thing that wouldn't leave his mind was the fact that he killed a very strong monster.

Thard - Harl did not tell him how strong the monster was, the damned asura just told him not to underestimate the monster and he tried not to.

But he didn't actually think it would be a monster with the highest grade on a multidimensional standard. Raith was impressed with himself.

Even though he felt like majority of this victory was owed to the fact that the monster had faced a lot foes in its years of being here.

'I wonder if I'll be able to defeat the other one too…'

Raith remembered Thard - Harl mentioned about it being the only two in the entire cosmos– which meant all even the multidimensional included.

Raith entertained the idea of actually hunting it and killing it. Especially since the asura would be so mad about the core.

He looked up. Crouching slowly, his leg cracked into the ground and shot into the air. Raith flew in a straight vertical path and landed on a side of the rock.

He discharged from that side. Rocks breaking into splinters as his feet traced a free air towards the opposite part. Then onto the next and the next, then he finally came out of the depth and landed outside.

As his bare feet landed, the ground cracked and trembled, a young man jacking up immediately. His helmet was too large for his head and dangled around a few times before covering his face completely.

He lifted the bucket helmet to look at who just arrived. Then his eyes widened.

"He is back! He survived! The man survived!!" He shouted and made a run for it. Heading towards the cave's iron gate and unlocking it shakingly, with haste.

As he did, he ran outside the cave shouting the same thing. This time, strangely enough. Raith could understand him clearly.

[The difference in language has been sorted out]

"As expected of you Sage. What about them, will they be able to understand me?"

[Yes. The auto translation affects both hearing and talking]

"Hmm, impressive"

Raith nodded slowly as he walked towards the opened gate.

'Why was this guy shouting though…' he wondered for a moment as he walked out of the gate.

Light seared into his eyes as he stepped out. The cave was shrouded in so much darkness that not even a ray of light could penetrate.

Raith had strangely adapted to that darkness over time and had no idea how much he had missed the light.

His eyes protested immediately as the light endlessly bathed him. Raith shut his eyes and turned away for few minutes.

He was still outside the cave when a large number of men came running towards him, wearing heavy and ragged leather armors. Some had different pieces matched together, even metal of some parts.

Overall, their bandit nature could easily be seen on their appearance. Raith had to let go of his eyes and squinted his face as his sight slowly got used to the light.

The numbers of the approaching bandits was no big deal to him. They were the one that had put him here right?

'I should be able to finish all of them…' with his current state it would be a bit difficult but he could easily solved that issue by using [Crimson Star] to heal himself.

And use his force to activate his body arts.

But he'd rather take delight and pleasure obliterating them with bare hands. He grinned as they came closer.

They all stopped in front of him, fear and ecstasy intertwining on their faces. All of them suddenly slammed their knees to the ground and shouted.

"Great one!!"
