Dashing towards the slightly wounded Rapha, I readjust my grip over my shoulder.

With both my hands rooted in the Veren sword handle, I swung towards Rapha with all my strength behind it.

*Thruad!

The impact was loud enough to scare the remaining animals that haven´t left through the spreading fire.

But to my surprise, the arsonist Rapha managed to hold on and put up a fight of strength.

"I see, that spell increased your strength didn´t it?"

Seeing the slightly surprised Rapha I probably hit the mark.

`Quite the useful spell, but that alone isn´t going to cut it´

With our clash of strength seeing this end, both our swords were pushed aside.

Changing my grip on the Veren sword, I tried to swing it at him again.

Before I could make contact with him and my sword, his mana circulated through his legs.

With incredible speed, he managed to dodge my swing by a hairs breath with moving few steps behind.

"Using sprint to run away? No use!"

As I was about to give chase.

I frowned upon the current sight in front of me.

"This is..."

Rapha's mana was gathering towards this sword like a flaming whirlwind that was starting to show up slowly.

Back then I couldn´t notice the details in our battle as I was focused on that brat. But seeing it in front of me I noticed the differences between our skills.

`He moves the mana like a whirlwind while I move it like waves...´

But I quickly dismissed the ideas that were forming through my head.

"The same thing isn´t going to work!" I raised my sword like Rapha and guided my dark ethereal mana through my sword.

Slowly forming my skill.

"[Blaze~]!"

"[~Blade]!"

*Tseeeen!

*Feeeesh!

Rapha realized the contained mana from this sword and unleashed a wave of flames that scorched everything that was touching me.

Following suit, a blade made out of wind and mana cleanly cut the ground to wherever it went.

Aimed towards the wave of flames, they were fated to clash.

*Baahm!

A massive explosion occurred through the clash of these two skills.

The [Wind Blade] managed to prevent the advance of the flaming wave made by the skill of [Blaze Onslaught].

Although the [Wind Blade] manage to destroy the core where the flames were holding on. The concentrated flames had been unleashed by their bindings and spread all over the place.

Seeing the flames blocking my vision I couldn´t help but curse out loud.

"That damn arsonist, does he plan to burn the whole forest down?"

While I was staring at the flames in front of me with a blank face (not like I have one).

A sudden sense of danger came through the flames.

"Huh...?"

Before I could even make sense of what this feeling is.

Rapha emerged through the flames while swinging this sword at my head.

"Crap!" I quickly raised my sword to prevent the cruel fate of becoming a headless undead.

Barely enough I managed to block the surprise attack from Rapha. But though my hasty action of wanting my head to stay at this place, my footing got messed up.

Seeing that opportunity, Rapha readjusts this body while gathering this mana to these legs.

The next moment I knew, I was kicked with enough force at my chest that almost was enough to break my ribs. Maybe that would have happened if it weren´t for the fact that I wore the new armor that I gently had taken from these soldiers.

Rolling through the ground, I was secretly surprised at what just happened.

`You can use [Sprint] like that...? Heck, he even walked through the fire and still seems good´

Stopping myself from rolling, I dug my fingers through the ground and took a stance similar to a cat about to jump at you.

"You bastard...you are immune to fire aren´t you."

Seeing his eyes shone I already knew my answer.

Mostly because this armor was still on fire with no hint of any pain.

But the answer that I got brought the burning rage running through my body.

"Guess..."

"You arrogant...!"

A death aura started to emit through my body and the dead mana was slowly mixing with the dark green ethereal mana.

Pleasure mixed with madness started to cloud my mind.

The dead man that was leaking from me startled Rapha.

Which was natural, a being emitting such a bloodthirst while containing such a death aura around it was a danger ahead sign.

"You...I will kill you."

[Sprint]

With my before cold voice, my current voice sounded like it was destroyed and filled full of killing intent.

"Tch, you monster."

Seeing me approaching him Rapha didn´t let that so easily happen.

Pointing this palm towards my direction, he quietly started to chant.

"Essence of fire split and grant me control...[Fire Missile]" Flames gathered at this palm until they completely formed a fireball by the size of ahead.

Finishing this chant, the fireball split into 3 pieces and flew towards my direction one by one.

"Another useless spell." Looking at the new spell, I snorted out loud.

Not only were the fireballs small, but they had about the same speed as the [Blaze Onslaught].

While I couldn´t dodge the fire wave cause of how wide it was. This didn´t count for this spell.

After all, they were simply some slow and small balls that were made out of the fire. The only positive thing that I could say about these was the number of fireballs that were made.

But nothing else.

With my current stats and the effect from [Sin of Wrath]. Dodging these balls was nothing difficult.

"Such a joke" Moving to the sides I easily dodged 2 out of the 3 fireballs.

The third fireball instead I slashed into the half with extreme precision, which resulted in me taking the flames like a bath.

But that didn´t cause me much of any damage if no one. Since the fireballs were even weaker than the goblin caster ones.

I simple brushed the flames off and continued moving towards Rapha.

"Nothing, huh? As expected..." With a blank expression, Rapha took this stance, ready to receive me.

With no further spells aimed at me, we clashed once again with our blades.

And this time, I didn´t let him do as he wished.

I stuck at him harder and better than any glue that you can find out there.

Once he showed signs of retreating, I would be ready to chase after him.

Which cause us to be in a stalemate where we fought with only our swords.

But that stalemate didn´t last that long...

After around 5 minutes of constant fighting with each other.

Rapha couldn´t take it more.

"Hah...Hah...you damn monster."

With heavy breathing and sweat from head though toe, Rapha was exhausted.

Usually, he would have been able to last much longer in a fight, but since our flight didn´t allow any mistakes to be made and require the most focus.

Which resulted in the mind and the body is exhausted and screaming for a rest in which couldn´t be allowed in such a fight.

In such a condition and a curse placed on him, that was aimed to reduce this stamina.

Having to fight an Undead being who laughs at the words of exhaustion could only mean defeat.

All this allowed me to find a weak point in this defense.

Parrying one of his swings, I quickly raised my sword on top of my head and swung at him directly towards his head.

Seeing death in this sight, he quickly moved to the side, which resulted in him being hit through this shoulder rather

He did manage to avoid death, but not this demise.

The Veren sword dug right through this shoulders to the point it almost reached Rapha's head.

"Blugh!" A massive amount of blood came rushing through Raphas throat to the point he was forced to cough a large amount of blood.

"I...can´t die here...need to... revenge" Though the exhaustion he suffered and the massive wound he receives, he was forced to the knees and slowly dying in the ground.

[You gained 8000 XP]

"Abou time isn´t it, at least it was worthwhile all this effort"

And I wasn´t referring to the XP I gained. Although 8000 XP is a large amount where I would require hours of work to get.

No.

I was referring to this message.

[Mission Completed! The subclass has been unlocked!]

"Finally, after all this time. I finally able to pick my subclass."

As I was about to view my subclass option.

Something suddenly grabbed my leg with an intense grip.

"Huh?"

Turning around to see what gripped my leg so suddenly.

I was shocked.

With pale skin yet crimson red veins going through this whole body.

Rapha Bloodmane was holding on to my leg.

"I will not let you get away." Mana started yet again to flow through this body

"Letting such a vile existence running through my kingdom. MY COUNTRY!"

He barely raised this other hand into me.

With this palm showing at my location.

"I shall take my revenge of my lord and you to my grave! "Essence of fire split and grant me co~"

I finally realized what this madman was trying to do.

"WHAT!?" I hastily pushed the arm holding my leg away and tried to quickly go away with [Sprint]

But it was too late.

"[Fire Missele]!"

"Shi~"

*Baahm!

*Baahm!

*Baahm!

****

At the same time when everything was happening...

In the city of Nexvarres.

In a house of the middle district, there was a miracle taking place.

"Lacia, just a little bit! Just one more push!"

The miracle that was life was taking place.

A beautiful lady was in the middle of giving birth with a pained and pale expression.

"Aghhh!"

With the last push, the miracle was born.

"Madam Lacia! You did it! It´s a girl!"

"Can I...hold it?"

Hearing Lacias request, the priest quickly cleaned the baby and wrapped it in a towel to give it to this mother.

"Here Madam Lacia, it´s a beautiful girl."

Even though Lacia had a pale expression the whole time, her carrying smile was enough to cover such details to others.

"Such a beauty...I wished Alon was here to see it."

"What would be her name Madam Lacia?" asked the Priest.

"Name..." Although her vision was getting blurrier by the second.

She suddenly had an idea that made her laugh happily.

"Hehe...Her name would be Alicia. Alicia Agnet."

"What a beautiful name Mada~"

Lacia's vision and hearing suddenly got worse with a feeling of weakness the following suit.

With the same warm smile as before, tears started falling from her face.

"I am sorry Alon. I will be going first..."

She gently kissed her baby, Alicia to her forehead and told with a weak voice.

"Be well Alicia...While I am going don´t be too rough on you daddy alright."

Those were the last words, the woman named Lacia Agnet had said.
