THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Not only that, Ralph had felt a change in his talent and decided to try it.

Summoning a must of Nexus energy that filled the Nexus chamber and even covered the small pond, the mist of Nexus energy slowly solidified into undead.

Ralph\'s eyes revealed a look of surprise, the mist had transformed as usual but it wasn\'t the undead General that appeared this time.

Standing beside it was another being that would strike fear into the hearts of people.

It was a fearsome underknight sitting on a ghastly-looking horse.

The knight was clad in decayed leather armor and wore a helmet that revealed only two red glowing eyes; in its hand was a large great sword that emitted a thick black aura.

The horse looked equally as fearsome as the rider, it was like a being born from darkness and had blurry features; only its smokey red eyes were vivid.

"This…an undead knight!" Ralph stuttered in amazement as he observed the new creature that had appeared along with the undead General.

The undead knight gave a strong feeling that he wasn\'t any weaker than the undead General.

Ralph looked at his profile again to see if he had missed something; he found out after taking a second that his talent now had an additional \'s\' after the \'General.\'

"So I got another undead General after advancing a rank, will I get another one from reaching the True King rank as well?" Ralph said with a thoughtful look while walking around the new member of his team.

Ralph wanted to see how strong this undead knight was and wanted it to attack the old man in the black robe, but the undead knight only turned to look at the old man before turning back to look at Ralph; it didn\'t attack the other party.

"It won\'t attack its ally? Then I know just where to test it" Ralph smiled before turning to the stairs that led up to the fourth Nexus chamber.

He kept climbing through the other Nexus chambers before arriving at the long corridor where two officials of the tower were guarding, Ralph took the elevator and went up.

Arriving at the lobby, he didn\'t stop to look for Ivan or Glen and immediately headed for the training room.

Upon getting there, he looked at the top and saw that the 27th level was lit up with Ivan\'s name beside it.

"He\'s here already" Ralph shook his head before entering one of the rooms where sleeping pods were placed.

Ralph entered the pod and soon arrived on the first level of training.

Welcome trainee….

The usual systematic voice made the usual announcements before commencing the training. Ralph\'s highest level cleared was level 9, but one had to start from level one every time they came to training.

Monsters were generated randomly at every level, so it wasn\'t a surprise to meet different monsters whenever someone came to the training room; only their strength would be the same.

This time, the monster that Ralph had to face on the first level was the one-eyed monster that had almost killed them five months ago when they had just arrived at the tower.

It was a one-eyed monster with very long arms.

Immediately after the system announced that Ralph could start, the monster that was towering over 12 meters long came to life and gazed at Ralph with its big eyes. Letting out a loud roar, it dashed toward him with both hands aiming at Ralph; its speed was comparable to that of a normal human.

"It was just this strong back then and almost killed us had it not been for those officials who arrived on time, but now isn\'t like back then" Ralph muttered to himself as he stared at the monster that was swiftly approaching him, a nostalgic smile formed on his face as the scene of the monster terrorizing three of them but now he was facing the same monster alone.

"I don\'t need to summon my undead Generals for such a monster; I can handle it myself." Ralph flashed a rare arrogant smirk as he prepared himself to meet the swinging hands of the monster head-on.

BANG!!

An explosive sound echoed through the whole space, the ground under Ralph\'s feet cracked and his arms and leg muscles bulged under the weight of the monster\'s arms.

Despite this, the smirk remained on Ralph\'s face.

"Easy"

He suddenly said before throwing himself up, he sent the hands of the monster flying into the air easily.

The monster roared but before it could move its hands back, the human before it had already moved.

Swoosh!!

Ralph dashed forward and jumped, easily reaching the level of the monster\'s head.

"See ya" Ralph grinned at it before punching out at the only eye of the monster.

BAM!!!

Splash!!!

Ralph delivered a powerful punch to the monster\'s face and immediately turned its head into a ball with a massive hole in it, the monster\'s enter face was gone!

A monster like the one-eyed monster was just this weak in the face of a Mortal King Nexulyte.

The body of the monster swayed before falling down with a loud bang, a large pool of blood quickly formed before turning into light fragments that disappeared a second later.

[Successfully cleared the first level, do you wish to proceed to level two?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes," Ralph answered, and another monster appeared in the space he was in.

This monster was a bull monster with the hands of a human; it stood on its bull legs and carried two large blades in both hands.

It was only a four-meter-tall monster with two long black horns and big red eyes.

Although this monster was not as huge or fearsome as the one-eyed monster, it was still taller than Ralph, and it was clear why it was a monster on the second level; it gave a much stronger aura compared to the one-eyed monster.

Ralph\'s face became more serious, but he still did not summon his undead Generals; he was planning to deal with this bull monster on his own as well.

[Trainee may begin!]

After the system\'s command, the bull\'s red eyes flashed with life before settling on Ralph\'s figure. Its eyes burned with fury immediately as if it had found a life enemy, it immediately charged at Ralph while swinging its large blades.

Ralph did not dare to meet the blade of this monster with his bare hands, he kept dodging until he got a chance to deal a strike to the monster\'s chest and sent it flying back while spitting out a mouthful of blood.

He repeated similar movements for almost a minute before he managed to punch a hole through the monster and finally cleared the second level.

At the third level, a moth monster appeared, but Ralph was still able to handle it on his own. The fight lasted for five minutes and ended with Ralph sweating and gasping for air, this moth monster had incredible defense and had given him a tough time.

At the fourth level, a skeleton warrior appeared and carried a thin blade with it.

This skeleton warrior wore worn-out bronze armor and its blade was equally rusty, but one should not underestimate it based on these factors; the skeleton warrior was an incredibly fast monster and its speed surpassed what Ralph could handle so he needed to summon his undead Generals, but Ralph instructed the undead knight to not move; the old man in black robe could easily handle things for now.

With a swift movement across the space, the undead in a black robe turned into a shadow and flashed away before returning the next moment.

Clank!!

The skeleton warrior stood frozen in place for a while before falling to the ground and scattering into a pile of bones; the undead in black robe killed it with a single move!

At level five, the undead old man was still able to kill the monster in a single move. Level six, a swarm of monsters appeared but the undead old man still handled things swiftly and didn\'t need the help of the undead knight.

At level seven, a behemoth worm creature appeared and had given the undead old man a tough time but the latter still managed to tear it into shreds after a few seconds of struggling with it.

Level eight, three of the monsters appeared! The old man finally got hit and Ralph had to spend Nexus energy to treat it.

Even then, he did not let the undead knight intervene.

The old man took a minute this time, moving around and attacking, before finally defeating the three monsters.

Finally!

[Successfully cleared the 8th level, proceed to level 9?]

[Yes/No]

"Yes," Ralph responded earnestly.

The remains of the three worm monsters vanished before another monster appeared in front of Ralph.

This monster was like a giant Orc wearing plate armor all over its body and carrying a large cudgel. The old man always had issues with this monster because of its tough skin and armor, the monster was also very fast.

Upon seeing it, Ralph immediately called the old man to withdraw before sending out the undead knight. He was hoping to see how they would battle it out but his eyes opened wide in shock and disbelief the next moment.

The undead knight moved forward with its horse at a blurry speed and with a single swing, sent the head of the Orc flying into the air!
