Level Up Legacy

The moment Trevor finished his words, Arthur appeared next to him. He patted his shoulder with a smile as he passed him by.

"I\'ll leave you two love birds here, I\'m winning this." He whispered and rushed forward as Trevor stood there, stunned.

\'I\'m not doing that good at keeping low,\' Arthur thought to himself as he sprinted forward. He heard Trevor\'s roar behind him, asking his followers to stop Arthur. \'Fuck keeping low. If things come down to it, I\'ll fake my death again.\'

Arthur knew that he would walk around the academy unhindered if he had fewer eyes on him. However, he wasn\'t going to allow people to step on him simply because he was cautious. His mindset changed about the situation and he would use his strength if necessary.

"Catch him!" Trevor kept roaring with rage as he clutched his shoulder. The look he had was of pure shock and humiliation of what Arthur just did.

"Do you think you can stop me, Trevor?" Rae grinned like a wild beast. "You can try. I did want to beat you up for a while now."

Trevor gritted his teeth as mana seeped from his body threateningly. It began manifesting half a body of a black knight behind him.

"Heh, I always wanted to fight against another Manifester." Rae grinned as her white scarf surrounded, hugging her tightly. "But I have a bet to win, so brace yourself."

By this time, Arthur was already a distance away. However, the alliance of awakeners has already spread in the ruins, making it impossible to avoid them.

As they heard Trevor\'s command, they assembled and blocked Arthur\'s path. He didn\'t choose to stop and kept sprinting at full speed.

"Dalo!" One of them shouted and a giant man stepped in. He clapped his hands as a giant wall appeared, blocked Arthur\'s path completely.

Arthur increased his speed as he saw the giant man frown. He was probably from Halin with his stature and Arthur heard him mumble something in a foreign language.

The moment the collision was about to happen, Arthur slipped into his shadow like a pebble falling into a pond. The last thing he saw was Dalo\'s stunned face.

"It\'s a skill!"

He appeared behind the group as he heard their shouts. Arthur kept sprinting forward as he saw an ancient knight rush forward to stop him.

\'Let the diversion begin.\' Arthur stopped and waited for the knight to get closer as he flexed his arm backward. The moment the knight was close, Arthur punched with all of his might.

There was a resounding dull voice as if Arthur struck a hollow tank before the knight was sent flying, a giant dent in its chest.

However, it was still alive and Arthur rushed forward to send another kick toward its armor, breaking it in half. The knight\'s hands glowed as several swords appeared around it and rushed flying toward Arthur.

This was one of the monster\'s skills and it was bothersome to deal with unless you had an ability like Dalo from earlier. Arthur was tempted to use his barrier, but he simply used his shadow space skill again.

The more cards that he reveals, the more questions would be asked. He was already pushing it with this show of strength and he didn\'t know if Linan\'s son\'s identity could handle it.

Arthur appeared above the knight and punched it again. The armor broke down as the mob surrounded him but Arthur was already on the move toward another one.

"Not so fast!" Dalo shouted and constructed a wall around them, trapping Arthur in the middle. Seeing this, Arthur sighed and was about to use his skill again when the soil around him began gathering around his feet and solidifying.

"Hehe, now wait here like a good boy." A girl with a curly ginger head laughed from Dalo\'s group and laughed. Arthur turned to face them and engraved their faces in his memory.

"You\'re a good group. Why would you follow others?" He asked as he tilting his head. Dalo\'s face grew dark as he spat.

"None of your business."

"Hmm," Arthur nodded. "Alright. You still can\'t stop me." With a tug of his legs, Arthur broke down the soil around him.

"Storm!" Dalo shouted as the dirt rose in the air and began whirling around Arthur.

Arthur was confused about how can this be practical in a fight until he felt his hair raising. He frowned as he felt the static electricity all over the dancing soil.

He had seen on television once that even sandstorms can cause lighting, so this was a manifestation of that. Arthur was in awe at the creative use of this ability but he couldn\'t risk it.

He threw his hands out as the dirt retreated. His mana was consumed as he used his skill, Earth Manipulation. Sadly, it had only one meter in range so he can only protect his own body.

He rushed forward and appeared near Dalo in an instant. He grabbed him by the arm and collar as he threw the man away to slam against his ethereal wall.

Arthur then rushed toward the girl and heard her scream when he appeared in front of her face. He didn\'t wish to hurt another student so he simply flicked her forehead, making her lose focus.

"Ouch!" She grabbed her forehead as her ability stopped working. Arthur smiled at her and pointed to her comrade, who was sprawled on the floor.

"Take care of him." He said as he began walking away from them and rushed to hunt more knights.

He began raiding the ruins on his own as more and more knights poured in. Arthur got into a frenzied massacre as he ripped the knights apart the more that they flooded his way.

After his fifth kill, a white light descended a distance away. Rae appeared with her white scarf as she demolished those knights. She gave him a grin as she raised four fingers with a smug face.

Her face was priceless to behold when Arthur raised five. She gritted her teeth as she strode forward with such intensity that the ground started cracking underneath her.

With a snicker, Arthur rushed toward another knight. Most of these guys were at the Mid-tier so Arthur had no issue taking them down. However, there were also a few at the High-tier, making the hunt quite bothersome.

\'Distract.\' Arthur reminded himself of his objective as he took a deep breath and used a giant portion of mana around his body. The air around him buzzed as his presence grew stronger.

Most of the knights looked his way, including the High-tier one. Rae glared at him from above the ruins before also unleashing her mana.

Sensing these two violent waves of mana, the ancient knights gathered together to fend off the invasion.

"You lunatics, stop!" Trevor descending to the battlefield with his manifested black knight. He had a stain of blood over his face and Arthur gazed he got beaten to a pulp by Crazy Dog.

The knights flooded from the ruins as they gathered like an army instead of roaming about. The team of awakeners looked with terror as the troops marched forward.

"Oops." Arthur blinked twice as he was taken aback by the result. However, this would provide Ellen and Oliver with a bigger chance to steal the crystals. After all, they went to another entrance for the valley.

Luckily, most of the alliance gathered here to stop Arthur and Rae. This meant that they would have a better chance at slipping into their ranks.

"You…" A low growl came from behind him and Arthur turned to see Trevor standing there like a demon from hell. He was fuming in his dusted suit and bloodied face.

"Trevor! It\'s been a while. I hope there are no hard feelings?" Arthur raised his hands with a troubled face and backed away. "I\'m sorry for what just happened, I can\'t control my mana. By the way, I\'m a bastard…"

"Shut up." Trevor spat.

\'Woah, even the bastard card didn\'t let him look down on me. I should\'ve gone with a commoner identity.\' Arthur sighed inwardly.

"Look, I\'m sorry. We shouldn\'t fight since both of us are students. Do you remember what the dean said? They\'ll judge our character. It\'s possible that they already are! Let\'s shake hands with a smile! We can…"

"Strength prevails." Trevor adjusted his necktie and said coldly. "I\'m sure taking down someone who sabotages our operation wouldn\'t be judged as an ill act."

"Now, you\'re just making me look like the villain. The knights are coming here, are you sure that you want to do this now?"

"I\'ll take care of that after I make sure you stop sabotaging my team and deceiving Miss Rae."

"Oh, you like her?" Arthur raised his brows. "I think you\'re coming at her a little too strongly."

"You…" Trevor seethed. "You have no business in this, bastard. Now, die." Trevor\'s manifested knight raised its black sword and slashed it toward Arthur\'s head.
