Age of Ascension: Forging an Immortal Realm from Nothing

chapter 3.1 - The First Wave! (1/4)


The Endless Void is a chaotic, bizarre place that defies all common sense. Countless universes and worlds have been swallowed by the Void. Because of this, you can run into any type of enemy imaginable out here. Even though this was the "Newbie Trial," protected by certain rules, Wu Chi didn't dare let his guard down.The furnishings inside the small hut were quite simple: a wooden table, wooden chairs, a hard wooden bed, an oil lamp, and a pot of tea.Wu Chi and Lin Daiyu sat facing each other. As he wiped the blade of his longsword, his heart swelled with excitement. Back at school, he had learned a bit of swordsmanship. Lords didn't really need to spend time on personal training and study; they could become powerful quickly later on by relying on their territory and subjects. But Wu Chi was a transmigrator and a novel enthusiast in his previous life, so he was naturally very interested in this sort of thing.Lin Daiyu sat opposite him, watching quietly. Poised and elegant, with a waist as slender as a willow branch, her expression was natural, and her eyes seemed to speak, filled with a myriad of charms.What's it like to be alone in a room with a great beauty? Wu Chi felt feverish all over—on one hand, it felt quite thrilling; on the other hand, he felt inexplicably nervous. "Tch! All lust and no balls!" Wu Chi cursed himself inwardly.After a moment's thought, he steeled himself and spoke: "Daiyu, are you hungry?""I shall not hunger for a short while. And you, young master?" Lin Daiyu offered a soft smile. Her pleasant voice struck Wu Chi right in the chest, making him swallow hard. For a moment, he didn't know how to continue the conversation.Suddenly!Lin Daiyu's delicate brows furrowed slightly. She tilted her head and looked toward the door."Young master, we have uninvited guests.""They're here?" Wu Chi's eyes lit up, and he stood up excitedly. The first wave of the "Newbie Trial," on the very first day—the simplest monster attack!"Let's go!" Wu Chi waved his hand and strode out of the hut!The moment he stepped outside, he saw two small monsters by the fence not far away. They wielded scimitars, had blood-red skin, and generally resembled 1.5-meter-tall midgets, but with ferocious faces and two goat-like horns on their heads!"Gaa~!" "Raka~ Nishu~!"The two blood-red monsters were trying to climb over the fence. But the fence was, after all, a territory building. Under its mystical power, they simply couldn't get over. Frustrated, they could only start hacking away at it with their blades!Seeing this, Wu Chi hurried over, drawing his sword as he called back,"Daiyu, I'll try fighting them. You watch my back for me.""Mm," Lin Daiyu replied, looking at the two monsters with some curiosity, a faint smile playing on her lips.Meanwhile, the two small monsters also noticed Wu Chi and Lin Daiyu. Their faces instantly twisted with greed, eyes turning red as they screeched and began frantically attacking the fence!Bang!Bang! Wood chips flew as the fence's durability began to drop bit by bit.[Fence] Level: 1 (0/50)Function: All-round protection.Durability: 192 / 200Description: A basic defensive facility, the go-to choice for newbie lords.The fence had only lost 8 points of durability.  It was easy to imagine the combat power of these two small monsters was pretty pathetic.Emboldened, Wu Chi directly vaulted over the fence, held his sword ready, and stared intently at the two monsters.The latter two, seeing their "meal" deliver itself, grew excited. "Raka~!" "Nishu~!" They cackled and charged, waving their scimitars!" Their footwork is a mess, steps are also chaotic and their weight distribution is all over the place! These monsters really are weak!" Wu Chi took a deep breath, then rushed forward! A quick lunge, a steady thrust of his sword! "Gaa—!" The nearest small monster was startled but still swung its blade viciously.Clang! Blade met sword! In the next moment, something happened that the little monster didn't expect. The longsword slid down the flat of the blade. Wu Chi pivoted his body, put force into his waist, and the sword changed from a thrust to a slash! Fast, precise, ruthless! The sword swept past. A large gash opened on the little monster's neck, blood spurting out! It let out a miserable cry, collapsing to the ground and twitching."Gaa!?" The other little monster was shocked. Its previously ferocious expression instantly turned to fear. Without hesitation, it turned tail and ran! But showing your back to the enemy is practically asking to die! Wu Chi's eyes shone. He lunged forward again, putting all his strength into a stab that pierced the little monster's heart!Thump! Blood spurted, dyeing the sword red. The little monster struggled for a moment before collapsing to the «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» ground, soon becoming a corpse."First wave!" Wu Chi pulled out his sword, flicking the blood off it, feeling quite satisfied.Just then, he saw light points coalescing over the two small monsters' bodies, forming two treasure chests! These were the rewards for killing Void monsters, the core of a Lord's power-up![Fallen Demon Kill Chest] [Fallen Demon Kill Chest]"Fallen Demons?" Wu Chi planted his sword in the ground and went over to collect the two chests into his inventory.According to the usual pattern, the first wave was just 2 monsters. Wu Chi began to relax slightly.But, just as he was about to turn around...BOOM—! A sonic boom erupted in the distance, and a wave of scorching heat rushed forward! Wu Chi spun around sharply. From the depths of the darkness, a rapidly spinning fireball came flying straight at him!
