[Thanks to host attaining intermediate rank and paying back all debt. Would you like exhaust all available resources in order to unlock your maternal bloodline.]
"Yes!"
He shouted and a crimson red aura began to appear and shroud him. Each drop of blood that came out of his hand condensed into one single drop in his hand.
His pupils turned red, and his hair followed by turning into a silver color.
[Bloodline successfully awakened all stats have increased by 50% and the skill blood manipulation has been temporarily added to your inventory. I hope you can win against the enemy.]
The droplet of blood floating on top of his hand James wore a maniacal smirk and threw it towards the oak.
The oak itself responded by erecting a barrier and counterattacking by using a large scale destruction spell. If James was alone, he could have easily dodged but since he had to protect the people behind him, he was forced to block it head on.
Even though he was very strong blocking C grade magic was too much so he fell to the ground almost losing life. Just as one semi boss was not enough the other semi boss arrived, and it was the oak champion.
In a matter of seconds, it reached James and punched him on the stomach. He could not even stand properly then he was inflicted with the curse of reverence that reduced all stats by 15%.
Another punch was thrown directly at his face, and he flew meters away to land at the feet of Andrew. James barely told Andrew to run, and Andrew followed the command.
This time the champion came but with a sword showing that he had become even more serious. Now seeing no student around James decided to use all his power in a last stitch effort.
"You bastards have led me to do one last desperate action. Combine elements, abyssal touch and blood manipulation!"
[WARNING]
[WARNING]
[The skill blood manipulation (S) has been temporarily sacrificed to enhance the skill abyssal touch and form the skill 'Grasp Of The Abyss' Rank SS.]
James stood and enchanted "grasp of the abyss" as not even he knew the effects of the spell and to his surprise a crack appeared in the sky and in that crack came out a devastating being that was exuing a terrefying aura.
[Host as activated the SS rank skill for two minutes and depleted all their magic, if this goes own and two minutes pass your life force will deplete. Current life force: 69 years.]
James fell to the ground and lost conscious as the being exited the rift. It had wings and stood 7 feet tall. Its skin was grey and had glamming black eyes. In its hand was a spear even taller than it.
{Name: ? ? ? ?
Age: 345
Race: Abyssal Spirit
Rank: Spirit Knight (D)
Skills: ? ? ? ?}
The Abyssal Spirit grappled its spear and made a single firm thrust which carried a major impact. A hoard of about 60 oak warriors charged towards it as well as the four semi bosses.
The Abyssal Spirit used its limited time to get rid of three quatres of the hoard and two semi bosses but the question that arose was how a D rank managed to kill so many C ranks and even two C+ oaks under two minutes.
But no one could be asked that question as their death drew nearer. James had lost all of his power and had entered an immobile state for the next 24 hours while the remaining students could never fight against such strong opponents.
. . . . .. . .. . . . . . . . . .
Outside the field on a tall hill which was located about a kilometer away a party stood on top. "Can you aim from here?" asked Ryan who was the party leader.
Ryan was introduced in the first chapter if you do not remember please go check
The other four members were a female archer Kylee, Wendy, Roy and their healer Austin. This was the S rank party 'Chosen Flame' and also tasked to keep James safe.
"I have been an archer for as long as I can remember so do you think I can't aim from just a kilometer away." Kylee arrogantly said as she drew her bow.
The arrow was coated by a blue aura and when she released it the arrow pierced through the field's barrier and killed the two semi bosses instantaneously.
In quick motion and speed, Roy ran until he reached the field and went to James with a healer perfume. After a few sprays most of his wounds had healed.
That is when the oak lord appeared which was also the boss.
Roy drew his sword and within a second the oak lord was killed but a mysterious fgure in a black cloth came out.
He was exuing dark aura anyone from a single glance could tell that he was powerful.
Roy moved quickly to attack him but the man dodged easily and used a dark force to push him a distance away.
As the weakest in his party Roy was confident that even though he was just a peak king class that this person was not an emperor.
He had his own pride and belief that under the emperor class no one could defeat him especially with his perfect swordmanship.
"Who are you and are you responsible for sending these children here?"
"You ask too many questions, so I will not answere you."
'Is this man seriously trying to toy with me.' Roy thought as he took out his sword from his shieth and prepare to battle.
"Your stance. Hmm, could you have been one of the disciples of the late sword saint. What a twist fate that I have encountered."
Roy could no longer hold back and stood in his stance activated his technique. "Dragon heart Swordplay, First Form, Dance of the seven deities."
The man took out a grimoire but before he could open it, Roy had already closed the distance and had almost slashed at the man.
The unknown man barely blocked the attack but at the cost of sacrificing the grimoire. "So I was right, you are his disciple."
