The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

Karsha was pleasantly surprised when he met the demented gaze of the test instructor. Despite the lady's beauty, she wore an unfriendly and hostile expression, making Karsha, who initially wanted to strike up a conversation, quickly abandon the idea. Though he is an extrovert unafraid of talking to anyone, he knows when to back off.

The stern face of the incredibly beautiful young lady before him was a clear sign to tread carefully.

The lady looked a little younger than him, but Karsha could tell she was older. She had the features of a pampered princess from a very influential family. Her blonde hair cascaded down her back perfectly, accentuating a face that Karsha thought was perhaps the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.

But her hostile expression marred that perfect picture. Karsha didn't dwell on it any further as he unsheathed the 'Dragon's Fury' and stepped into the formation. "Clear the test by killing all the monsters to pass the exam," the lady said in a calm yet annoyed tone.

Karsha gave her a slight nod. The formation activated when the lady placed a beast core on a small platform beside her. The core was instantly consumed, causing the formation to glow. Karsha experienced a slight twist and turn in his surroundings and then the room's atmosphere changed.

Forced to close his eyes momentarily, Karsha opened them to find himself standing on a field. 'Hah, that was a weird feeling.' He felt a little lightheaded but quickly shook it off. Glancing around, he ensured he was alone for now. 'I guess I have to wait a while for the beasts to show up,' he thought inwardly. However, his thoughts were instantly shattered by the window that appeared before his eyes.

< Welcome to The Outer Area Trial for Sunlight Sword Sect >

< First Trial: Kill Ten Tier 1 and Two Tier 2 Monsters>

'Tsk, what a joke,' Karsha sneered inwardly when he saw the message. He had anticipated a challenge, but it seemed he wouldn't have to do much from what he now saw in front of him. 'I will just end this as quickly as I can.'

Shortly afterward, 12 monsters started moving toward him, their gazes filled with killing intent. 'Tsk,' a chuckle escaped Karsha's lips again as he gazed at the 12 monsters.

"So long, bitches," Karsha said as he activated the [Red Eye Tiger] skill and instantly moved toward the approaching monsters. "Swing!" Karsha swung his sword, appearing behind the monsters in a flash. It didn't take even a second for all 12 monsters to drop dead on the ground.

His skill, Red Eye Tiger, was the first skill he had obtained from the Tiger Strike Dual Swordsman technique.

============

< Red Eye Tiger >

Rank: Tier 10

Rating (Mastery): C

-- A skill derived from a highly skilled swordsman. This skill enables the swordsman to blend various skills together, forming a potent composite skill that can be activated seamlessly. Furthermore, the activation time and speed of each skill incorporated into Red Eye Tiger are amplified twofold.

-- Additionally, every skill integrated into Red Eye Tiger benefits from the influence of a Tier 10 skill, enhancing their effectiveness beyond their original capabilities.

[Note: Enhance your mastery of the skill to unlock additional benefits.]

============

Not a single one of the monsters managed to survive his single attack, causing Karsha to sneer inwardly. He had spent almost a week mastering the move. When he first used the [Red Eye Tiger] skill, he felt enlightened, prompting him to spend a whole week incorporating his own attack skill into its amplification ability. What he achieved now was the result of close to 130 hours of practice.

Since his [Blink] skill had been added to the [Red Eye Tiger], the blinking was now amplified by two times its original speed and distance. He moved while blinking simultaneously. Those slower than him would perceive only a single instantaneous movement, while those matching his speed would witness him darting into the shadows of his opponents at an incredible speed.

It was a remarkable skill with the potential for further development. However, since the system was now focused on awakening his unique class, he knew he had to wait and learn more about it before adding more skills to it. Despite this, he was content with his achievements as he stood and waited for the test to conclude.

Inside the room, the earlier instructor, who had worn a weird expression, now appeared shocked. Out of curiosity, she had decided to watch the test. However, when Karsha moved, she found herself unable to track his movements. All she saw was the boy disappearing and reappearing behind the horde of beasts.

She attempted to understand the situation but couldn't muster an answer. All she could manage was to gaze at the boy standing in formation and wish she had been a bit friendlier earlier on. Yet, now that the trial was concluded, she understood the likelihood of encountering the boy in action again was relatively low.

Her thoughts were abruptly interrupted when the formation glowed once more, signaling the onset of a new trial. Despite her desire to witness the boy's combat prowess again, the woman promptly approached the formation. However, what she witnessed nearly caused her to collapse. The original control of the formation had locked her out, leaving the formation to operate autonomously.

Swiftly retrieving a token from her space ring, she addressed it, "Elder June, we have an issue at test area 13. Please come quickly," all the while still observing the boy within the formation, who also appeared to realize the trial was not yet concluded.

< Second Trial: Kill Twenty Tier 1 and Two Tier 2 Monsters>

"I suppose that wasn't the only test," Karsha concluded instantly upon seeing the message displayed before him. He didn't feel threatened as the approaching monsters posed no real danger. However, after dispatching the 22 monsters, he suddenly realized he was far from finished with the trial.

Hovering before him was another message that left Karsha wondering what was happening. Based on what the lady had said before he entered the formation, he was supposed to clear a single trial, but now he found himself on the third, with no indication of when it might end.

< Third Trial: Kill Thirty Tier 1 and Ten Tier 2 Monsters >

'Is this trial faulty or something?' Karsha pondered inwardly as he swiftly dispatched the monsters, concluding the third trial. 'Well, this works to my advantage. I will heed Xian's advice and demonstrate my capabilities to this test instructor,' he mused before turning his attention to the fourth trial.

Meanwhile, outside the trial, Elder June appeared beside Xian, who looked concerned about Karsha's progress. "Elder June, what brings you here?" Xian asked promptly upon the elder's appearance.

"Just a minor matter. Go to the gate and oversee operations there for me. I have some matters to attend to within the test area," Elder June directed. Xian complied without hesitation, receiving a nod of approval from the elder before he left for the Sect gate. Elder June then made her way into the test area.

Anticipating trouble upon her entrance, she was surprised to find nothing amiss, except for the perfectly lit room, and the lady beside the formation looking as if she had seen a ghost.

"Little Mei, what's the matter?" Elder June inquired as she approached the young lady. However, the lady remained silent, merely pointing at the formation. Following her gesture, Elder June's gaze fell upon the formation, and what she saw left her in a state of shock.

Karsha could be seen standing amidst 50 monsters, with almost half being Tier 2 creatures and 2 Tier 3 monsters. "What happened to the trial? It was supposed to only have 12 monsters. How is he facing close to fifty, including Tier 3 monsters?" Elder June questioned, but Little Mei merely shrugged in response.

Elder June proceeded to inspect the formation, confirming the instructor's observation before contacting her. The formation appeared to be operating independently. Just as she noticed this, the formation glowed once more, indicating the commencement of another trial.

< Tenth Trial: Kill Thirty Tier 1, twenty Tier 2 Monsters, and ten Tier 3 monsters >Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Karsha seemed unperturbed, standing patiently as the beasts approached. Despite the changes in the formation, he retained control over the battlefield.

"Swing!" Karsha materialized behind the monsters, swiftly striking with his sword. As always, the monsters fell instantaneously, leaving Elder June gaping at the formation in disbelief. Unlike Little Mei, she witnessed Karsha's movements, yet she couldn't fathom how he accomplished such feats.

'That shouldn't be possible,' she thought to herself. 'He's just a master stage cultivator; he shouldn't possess that level of speed,' she reiterated, still fixated on the composed boy who showed no signs of panic.

"Elder Yang, inform the sect Master that we have a pressing issue at test area 13 that demands his immediate attention," Elder June instructed into her token after witnessing Karsha's remarkable movements. 'We cannot afford to overlook this boy,' she thought to herself as she observed him preparing for the Eleventh trial.

Meanwhile, on the receiving end of the communication, a man in his fifties stared at his communication device, deliberating whether to relay the message to the sect Master. After a brief moment of contemplation, he knocked on the door and entered a grand mansion, capable of housing thousands.

"What is it, Elder Yang? Don't you realize we are in the midst of an important meeting?" an irate elderly man demanded, fixing his gaze on the elder, who instantly regretted his intrusion.

"My apologies, Elder Chen, but Elder June appears to be encountering difficulties with the test at Area 13 and requires the sect Master's immediate attention," the elder conveyed in a shaky tone, feeling the weight of the pressure bearing down on him.

"Tsk, that troublesome woman, I wonder what mess she's gotten herself into this time," another elder remarked, turning towards an older, yet vigorous-looking man with a long, pure white beard.

The elderly man simply smiled before motioning for the three elders to accompany him. Though unsure why, he sensed that he was about to witness something extraordinary and didn't want to miss out.

However, inside the test area, a new message appeared before Karsha:

< Twentieth Trial: Kill Fifty Tier 1, thirty Tier 2, Ten Tier 3, and Two Tier 4 Monsters >
