The Absolute: Humanity's Second Chance

He then moved on, as he used his single Stat point to carefully distribute it through the Wisdom Stat to give himself 1,0 point worth of magic defense value.

He then called out his Template.

[ Name: Damien Gray ]

[ Mana: 0 units ]

[ Epithet: First Blood ]

[ Class: Lvl 6 Classless (0/90) ]

[ Sub-Class: None ]

[Alignment: Unknown ]

[ Stats: STR - 34,2 || AGI - 7,59 || END - 46,0 || INT - 0,1 || WIS - 1,0 || AFF - — ]

[ Resources(12): Tier 1 Treasure Chest(×10), Demon Fragment(1/7), Angel Fragment(1/7), False Angel Feathers(×36), Spirit Shard(2/4), Tier 1 Monster Core(×1), Hardened Bones(×16), Extra Sharp Beak(×1), Mole Claws(×8), Tier 1 Beast Cores(×7), Memory Shards(×10), Tier 1 Undying Vaccine(×1) ]

It seemed completely different from what it used to be. And the major differences were his stats, that became far monstrous compared to what mortals could unleash.

And his Equipment and Resources. They were above ten at minimum, which made sense as he went over ten Trials by himself.

As for his Mana, it was zero due to suddenly breaking through to the First League right now.

He then decided to equip a few equipment as he realized that the coming threat was not something he could take lightly at all. Especially with only 25% of his stats.

He wore the [Gray Mask] which increased agility by 10%, the [Bracelet of Oid] which increased agility by 5% and magic defense by 10%, the [Red Cloak] which increased endurance by 10% and the [Wings of Ash] which increased agility by 10%.

They further went to increase agility by 10% when flying. But he was not done. He wore the [Undying Ten Piece Armor], which increased both his strength and endurance by 20%.

Then finally, he wielded both the [Seven-Pieced Boomerang] and [Heidi's Club], which both increased his strength by 20% and 15% respectively, and agility by 20%.

Overall, the current Damien was armed for war, being 55% stronger, 45% faster and endurance increased by 30%. As well as magic defense by 10% as well.

Juliette behind him was still not aware of this. And of how her Damien looked funny with the mismatched gear he wore.

"..."

Damien did not take that into mind, and instead watched as a shadow flying at extreme speed within the clouds was heading towards their way.

The shadow was beyond sonic speed, and was quite large. It's close-appearing visage was accompanied by a mighty, and magnificent Roar.

ROOOAAARRR!!!

An Earth shaking roar broke out from the sky, like thunder, like the a god's maddened roar, and like the end of the world, it shook every living being hearing it to the core.

...!!!

Juliette felt her concentration easily broken, her face completely turning pale with fright.

She hurriedly opened her eyes and looked up, only for her mouth to hang open in shock and bewilderment at what she saw.

Magnificent.

Deific.

Such words hung within her mind when her eyes laid themselves upon the gigantic creature suspending itself within the sky, it's wings spreading out with a wingspan of over fifteen meters.

"..."

It's body was metallic, or rather, the glimmer flashing over its skin made it seem so. But it was not indeed as such.

Instead, those were its scales.

It's draconic head stared down at both creatures with a gaze of disdain. It's golden eyes flashing with nothing but majesty.

It was a dragon.

"You should not worry yourself with that thing." Damien spoke from the side, and casually threw a black cloak towards her.

Juliette looked up at him, and the first impression she got from his attire was 'Strange.'

But she did not put much focus into it, and instead wore the cloak that he gave her. Once worn, it gave her the impression that she was airy and transparent.

And because she had Mana, the hidden effect of the cloak kicked in, and erased her presence, making her feel like a ghost.

Thus included her threat value to the dragon. She would seem as harmless as a piece of rock to it with the cloak on. Maybe even less harmless than a rock.

Damien then added, "You should focus on nothing but increasing your Mana reserves. This is not something you can try and fight with the current debuffs you have."

"Hm." Juliette nodded, and once again glanced up at the creature one last time. Appreciating what she was seeing for the first time.

With that over, she once again closed her eyes and concentrated on absorbing more Mana. As for the status effects and the presence of the dragon, they of course did affect her.

But she had absolute trust in Damien.

It was so solidified and absolute that, her will seemed to temporarily ignore all the negative effects on her mentality.

"..."

Damien saw this, and then also gazed up at the dragon with apathy. The dragon likewise gazed back down at him with majesty.

A moment later, Damien suddenly smiled. For once, within the current state he was in, he smiled. And it was a smile of pure madness and disdain.

Yet his gaze was still apathetic.

"..."

The dragon also did not flinch back at Damien's silent murderous intent. Instead, as it flapped its wings, it suddenly took in a large breathe of air causing its head to reel in backwards.

This action caused the dragon's chest to puff out, and glow in a magma-like orange-red glow.

The glow then silently, yet speedily traveled from the dragon's chest, along its neck, illuminating its neck in the same glow, then moving on to its mouth, where wisps of flames threatened to erupt out like a volcano.

Damien of course, would not just stand by and wait for pain to arrive.

He immediately kicked off the ground, and with frightening speed rivaling that of a jet traveling at full speed, he burst off forward.

Such an act was inhuman, even for the mortals of the great and large Gaea. And because it was multiple Leagues above the norm, especially for someone his level, he triggered a notification.

[ TING!!! ]

[ An achievement made!! ]

[ Do to reaching unachievable speeds through sheer force and will, without the aid of Skills and Abilities, you have automatically comprehended the Extra Ability, "Enhanced Speed" ]

Damien knew about this, and did not put much focus into it. What he focused on was his speed increasing once again thanks to the permanent boost of the Ability.

He became twice as fast thanks to the passive boost, and likewise surpassed mortal restrictions.

The dragon did not take Damien lightly, and still with the hazardous flames within its mouth held back, it chased after him, not being one bit slower than him.

Boom!!

Boom!!

Two sonic booms exploded out, one after another, as human, and dragon, played a game of tag around the valley.

"..."

Juliette was left behind, sitting cross legged as she did her absolute best to ignore the temptateous sounds of battle, and to just focus on her Mana.

Meanwhile, Damien ran at his top speed, being so fast, everything else around him seemed as incomprehensible blurs of light.

And the dragon itself was top on his hill, being only a few hundred meters behind him, a trail of flames seeping out of its mouth.

But that did not seem to bother the majestic dragon much, and it instead kept pushing itself forward with its wings, shattering the sound barrier from time to time.

"..."

Damien, who was still running ahead, suddenly used more strength than needed to take the next step, hence propelling himself forward at an elevated altitude.

The dragon followed his figure, and slowly loosened it's jaw, causing more flames to seep out and threatening to erupt greatly.

But Damien was an experienced fellow.

His every action was calculated. And so was this one, for as he rose up at an elevated altitude, still with the same speed, he landed at the waist level of a tall mountain stretching up for kilometers on end.

His speed and momentum caused him to land heavily onto the mountain, forcefully pressing it inwards within a circular range of ten to fifteen meters.

Yet Damien himself seemed unphased, and without paused, forcefully kicked off the mountain and sent himself backwards... towards the dragon.

At the same time,

[ TING!!! ]

[ An achievement made!! ]

[ Do to unleashing unachievable strength through sheer force and will, without the aid of Skills and Abilities, you have automatically comprehended the Extra Ability, "Enhanced Strength" ]

His already terrified strength even when restricted by the multiple status effects, suddenly increased by ten times, causing his blood to boil in excitement.

...!!!

The dragon, which was flying at fast speeds was caught off guard by Damien's figure flying towards it, with his fist outstretched.

And with pure instincts, it hurriedly ducked down, and allowed Damien's terrifying figure to fly past it. But thanks to that, it heavily crashed down shoulder first as it had lost balance.
