Athanor Online: Monarch of War

Level Up!.

Throughout his life, running was something he could master, at least, until this very moment.

Now, he could only hope that his legs could swing back, bringing him running. In fact, if he could he wanted to run faster with his hunting breath. However, it cannot. Hope was only hope, now he was silent under the fear that was so pressing— was crushing his joints and bones. This was his last escape, but he was no longer able to run.

’I still don't want to die.’

He hid in the shadow of the cave. Holding his breath so deeply, trying not to make a sound. He ventured to glance out, slowly. Hoping that the figure did not show itself. A fear that is so turbulent, eroding any sense of confidence.

He went back into hiding with a silent sigh, he was relieved that the sickly figure who slaughtered his friends was now invisible. But behind all that. A nightmare that has been following is approaching.

A black shadow crept on the dirty ground, slowly entering the cave. Penetrating various solid objects like the true darkness— without the least he realized. Slowly, the shadow crept on the cave wall not far from him. When everything feels better. However, circumstances were the easiest thing to turn around.

So quiet, so cold, and so evil. A human figure with a thick dark aura enveloped the body like a armor. When he felt safe, the figure came out from behind the wall, his upper body was still visible, but the bottom was fused with the cave wall.

“There is time to escape-”

A voice sounded in her small ear. With fear he looked back, hoping it was just an illusion. However, with his own eyes. He saw the figure of an angel with his scythe swooping so sharply. He froze, realizing his scythe was moving down, piercing through his body so viciously.

“But baby, you missed it.”

The aura of darkness energy disappeared, not more precisely being absorbed back into his body. It was Zephys.

“Nothing is more exciting, when playing hide and seek with an Assassin!.” Rodant.

Not paying much heed to Rodant's words, now Zephys stood with the black scythe he had placed on his back. He stared at his right hand, an aura or darkness energy so thick he felt. Since Zephys got Special Class, which is Assassin type. Makes it so sensitive to all sorts of sounds from a distance. It's some kind of sense.

“Dark magic-”. Rodant's words made the Zephys slightly interested, Rodant chuckled a little as a sign of confirmation. “Darkness, eh?”, said Zephys interested.

Magic, a rare material connected to the air and every inch of Athanor's territory. It is an ancient energy created and developed by The Bright Archmage. Long before the Dark Lord was born, and the Dark Andura Stone was discovered, and even the Archon existed. Bright examined a free-floating material in Athanor. And that matter is the forerunner to his birth, Magic. A power that took Athanor to a higher level.

Bright began to develop and expand his magic area to become known immediately. Various people from different races, began to study it. And there were even some of the few people who were truly talented in magic mastery.

“The dark magic is the key to the power of Kayn himself, you know right?.” Zephys simply nodded, understanding that the memory of Kayn was still in his head.

Zephys then glanced at a blue panel in front of him.

___

Zephys smiled slightly behind his crow mask. Shadow Reaper, it does sound quite wibu. But the skill he possessed was far from expected. Indeed the Ultimate Death Sentence Skill is very scary, but what makes Zephys so interested is the Shadow Body and Living Shadow skill.

Zephys already understood the mechanics of Shadow Body, with this skill Zephys was able to penetrate any object he wanted. Honestly, this skill is very supportive of Zephys in Assassin Class. This skill was able to make Zephys penetrate walls, which meant that Zephys could perform a wide variety of killing types much more quietly.

“So what's your plan now, Zephys?.”

Zephys smiled in response to Rodant's question. “We are just waiting for time.” His word.

Rodant could only sigh. Unlike Nakroth, Zephys is so passive in looking for a gap. But Rodant knew this was a play that Zephys played. Like a pure Assassin, Zephys is so passive that he makes enemies comfortable in a situation, and when he's caught off guard he'll turn it all around.

Rodant was so sharp when judging someone. Not only in terms of character but in a variety of complicated points of view, he has a deduction and various scenarios that have accompanied him. Not just nonsense, because Rodant is an ancient figure.

A digital blue window came out in front of him.

“{Jackdaw prompts to do Synchronization}.”

“Hm.., finally.” Zephys

Zephys closed his eyes. Receiving a vision call from Jackdaw. Through the eyes of the crow, he flew in height. Zephys felt like he was flying, which was a pretty fun experience.

On the other hand, he saw a herd of goblins pretty much being ganged up on Micah. The skull warriors defended and attacked desperately. Micah also continues to cast fire and darkness magic.

Micah's downcast exhausted, it's natural. The goblin herd had far more numbers. And also, Micah is level one. Zephys had indeed intentionally left Micah to hunt alone, he wanted Micah to quickly level up. However, if he is strong, then Zephys will be very helpful.

“It looks like I'm too forcing him to work too hard.”

I don't know how many goblins he killed, now he lost a lot of mana. And for a Mage, running out of mana was a disaster. Zephys raised one of his hands high, through Jackdaw's eyes. Zephys started to aim.

“Simple Domain: Weapon Expansion!.”

Five golden portals came out around the Zephys body, as well as five long spears. While aiming, Zephys hand fell down. Along with the incision of his five long spears.

Indeed, the distance between Zephys and Micah is quite far, but thanks to Jackdaw's vision as an intermediary, Zephys can take aim at his enemy. The five spears missed far away like a control projectile, passing through various trees so agile.

The five spears shot out, as the goblins began to feel victory, the spears shot out smashing down five of them so quickly. They were shocked because of the sudden attack that was unknown where it came from.

Yet. One, two, three and so on. A wide variety of long spears pounded the defenses of the goblins. The various spears pierced through their skulls, bodies, as well as their fragile parts. The sudden attack made the goblins start to lose focus. And Micah knows, this is a favor from his master.

Not wanting to keep quiet, Micah called out to the Skeleton Soldier and began to turn things around. Zephys who looked out of Jackdaw's eyes smiled slightly.

“Not bad, Zephys.”

“Sure.”

Back one of the five portals took out a long spear. However, instead of it slipping, Zephys held onto it. A long spear with his sharp silver eyes. Zephys glanced slightly, watching the spear intently until at the end, a digital blue window was seen.

___

•???

Rank: Common

Level 3: 3

Dmg :40

Durability: 250

Type: Long Spear

___

“!?.”

Zephys was surprised to see the blue window. He had not expected the spear created through his imagination, and using Weapon Expansion could create a system-readable weapon.

Although the weapon is very ordinary and does not have any specialties. However, Zephys saw such a great opportunity. Unknowingly his smile coiled so wide.

“It reeks of money!.” Exclaimed Zephys and Rodant can only be silent not so interested.

Zephys was so lucky he could have this ability, he was also very lucky to be able to realize something like this. One thing is for sure, it smells of money!.

‘Skill is not much different from Blacksmith's skill!, Even much better!.’ Inwardly

Able to make weapons with only shadows on his head, without materials, and only with energy?. Anyone who hears there is a skill like this, then anyone would want to have it.

“What do I make?, May sword.”

Zephys channeled his entire bar of energy, a sense of limp Zephys instantly felt. His joints and knee muscles began to unfold, Zephys fell half body along with his breathing was so tired.

“Oi what's wrong with you, Zephys?!."

For the first time Rodant was worried about the state of the Zephys, hearing it made the Zephys smile a little. But still, feeling weak and not energized, Zephys did not expect this to be so tiring.

However, one golden portal opened. A golden-coloured sword with sunflower carvings was seen on its golden blade. That one-handed sword, fell in front of the revealed Zephys. The glint of his golden blade was quite eye-catching, and a digital blue window was visible.

___

•???

Rank: Heroic

Level 270

Dmg: 3200

Dur :5000

___

Seeing that Zephys smiled slightly, looking at the golden sword. However, this weapon did not have any stat enhancements that were actually quite valuable. But, it doesn't matter. Because, someday Zephys will find out that way.

Zephys re-drinks the Energy Potion to simply replenish the energy bar, slowly but surely Zephys body gets lighter. He stood back up while doing a little stretching, honestly it was very tiring.

“This sword will I save, who knows I have a way to improve the ability of this sword.” Say

“You already have me!, just throw away the sword!.” Rodant Excited

Hearing Rodant's exclamation, it made the Zephys slightly chuckle. With a smile he said. “You're jealous?.”

“Of course not!, It's about my pride as a legendary weapon!.”

“H... I don't understand!.”

“Certain brain of course, because you're not a weapon!.”

Zephys smiled slightly, is this jealousy?. He did not understand, but clearly, it seems Rodant does not like its users using other weapons. But Zephys didn't really care, he kept the sword in his story. At least to develop it.

“Take it easy, I'm not wearing this sword-" said Zephys, Rodant breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, Zephys opened his story, taking out a sword as black as the night sky.

“If I wear a sword, it's obvious I'm wearing this.” He held the black sword

___

Right, Errol's sword is still stored in his Storage. He wanted to wear it, but the Zephys already had Rodant. He also did not have a double sword skill, so he could not use it. But at least, Zephys kept this. To give to a man who gives his life to a sword. Like Errol.

“You!.”

When Rodant wanted to babble, a digital blue window was seen in front of Zephys. As if cutting Rodant's words.

“{Jackdaw requests Call}.”

Seeing that Zephys without hesitation instantly agreed to it. As fast as lightning, the Zephys instantly moved from the wilderness of the forest to the blue sky. Zephys forgot that Jackdaw is a bird.

‘At least call me on the ground!.’ Zephys.

But Zephys eyes immediately saw something crucial. Micah looks like it is difficult to face a giant-sized goblin. Zephys knew this goblin, because some time ago he had also defeated something like this.

“Goblin King!.”

It looks like Micah is on the verge of his limit. It was natural, he had lost a great deal of energy and mana, this was because he was forced to continue raising his level. Of course by Zephys, but Zephys did not expect that there was a Goblin King.

With the current level of Micah, plus the energy and mana has been drained a lot. Then it was impossible for him to defeat the Goblin King in front of him. Even for the current Zephys, to be honest he was also a hassle.

But Zephys smiled slightly.

“It may be a suitable time to test it.”

The big Goblin King cudgel he swung towards Micah. With his wand, Micah casts a spell. But it's too slow. The mace struck Micah's body, but before that the mace was restrained by a large scythe.

“Looks like I should be a little gentle with you, Micah.”

Zephys threw the Goblin King's mace.

___

Goblin King's

Level 35

___

“Heh. You doubled my level. But that doesn't matter.”

Zephys sped fast, the speed of the Zephys reduced greatly to fall. Naturally, he lost all his levels. The Zephys movement could still be followed by the Goblin King. He swung his big mace towards the Zephys. The cudgel shot and hit hard on Zephys' body. That was what Goblin King thought.

But in reality, his huge mace only pierced through the Zephys body. Dark energy enveloped Zephys body like the aura of night. This is the Shadow Body skill.

Zephys prepared his great scythe.

“Ultimate Skill : Death Sentence!.”

Zephys turned into true darkness. Disappearing so quietly, even the eyes of Goblin King and Micah were unable to see his figure. Among them, a shadow crept under the blue sky.

But a huge scythe floated above the head of the Goblin King. A hand came out from the mouth of the Goblin King meeting. Although it was closed, the hand pierced through its skin, the hand covered in dark energy reaching for the huge scythe.

The scythe fell down, injuring it in the Goblin King's stomach. Simultaneously a dmg came out so big, as the Goblin King's yelling rolled out, Zephys came out from the Goblin King's body.

Not until that, Zephys swung his big scythe.

“Haha!, Let's fight!.”

Like a crazy psychopath, Zephys swung his big scythe. Like the angel of death dancing with his scythe, Zephys tore apart the Goblin King's body, so cruelly.

The big cudgel he lifted back up,

“GROA!”

With a shout of vigor, heed the severe cuts that were painted on his body. The Goblin King swung its huge mace. But Zephys just smiled, and instead kept a scythe on his back.

“It's five seconds.”

Zephys flicked his finger while smiling triumphantly. “Boom!.”

Simultaneously the Goblin King's inner organs exploded making him lose in the most painful position. The sound of the system is back. So familiar.

“{Level Up}.”
