After a long time, Souta finally promoted his class to Rank 2 Battle Mage. It's all thanks to his legion and all the quest that he did in the Eternal Empire. All the rewards acc.u.mulated and when he looked at it he found that it was enough to promote his class rank.

His class skill [Weapon Caster] level up from advancing his class. He also gained another class skill called [Combat Mage]. It was important to him who always fight in close range combat befitting of the class Battle Mage.

His battle strength was boosted to another level. Just by promoting his class, he could defeat some of his opponents that he couldn't defeat before. Not just his stats that have increased, everything about him increase including his spell power.

Since he level up two of his skill into level ten, he managed to unlock a few skills in his skill tree. Souta looked at all the skills that he unlocked in the skill tree.

[Doppelganger]

[Shadow Dispersion]

[Dark Shooting Ray]

[Dark Light Shield]

[Night Overlord's Aura]

[Transforming Shadow Barrage]

The two below were high-level combat arts. He had to choose one combat arts and one spell in his situation. The skills that he will choose will become his foundation to promote to Rank 3 just like the [Dark Cloud Hunting] and [Shadow Cloak] in Rank 2. Well, Souta already had a plan in his mind to buy all the combat arts in the skill tree. The combat arts will get stronger if he evolves so it would only bring him benefits.

He used his remaining points to learn the [Night Overlord's Aura] and [Transforming Shadow Barrage].

*Ding!*

[You've successfully learned "Night Overlord's Aura" skill!]

[You've successfully learned "Transforming Shadow Barrage" skill!]

"Damn! It feels so good. I feel overflowing energy inside me." Souta let out a soft voice as he looked at the ceiling.

'Just what are you...!?' Saya was dumbfounded as she felt that his body was changing rapidly. His mana pool was expanding and his strength was growing.

"You see. I don't need to borrow your powers... against this level of opponent." Souta smirked as he placed back the vajra sword in its sheath. He wasn't going to wait for his opponent to come here. He's going to finish it quickly as fast as possible.

He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion. The gravity around the whole area tightened. It was suffocating.

Wesler who was outside the building stopped moving. He felt the air was trying to crush him into meat paste.

"What the-"

He was shocked as he found that he couldn't move his body. He gritted his teeth and roared angrily as his mana burst out of his body trying to break free from the gravity field.

Boom!

"Souta!!" Wesler roared as he managed to move but his body was stressed because of the harsh gravity.

Swoosh!

He charged forward in the direction of the building. He didn't know how this spell grew stronger but he wouldn't be able to last long if this keeps up. The power behind this spell was already at tier 3 but now it grew stronger.

"Two minutes... If I couldn't defeat him in two minutes I will lose." He muttered but he found that he couldn't move his feet.

He didn't know what happen or how this spell grew stronger. Maybe, Souta wasn't using his full strength from the beginning and he was just playing with him, a top 11 ranker.

"Huh?"

He looked down and found a black tentacle circling his left leg. He gathered his mana on his fist and he was about to rip the black tentacles on his leg when he heard footsteps coming from the building.

He moved his head and saw Souta walked out of the thick smoke while patting the dust on his clothes.

"You!!"

Souta looked at Wesler in the eyes and grinned before he said, "Let me test my strength with you... I'm curious how long you can last against me."

"Don't underestimate me, Souta!" Wesler shouted as he ripped the black tentacle before he pounced at Souta.

"Good." A wide smile formed on Souta's face as he gathered his mana on his fists.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two exchanged high-speed blows to each other. Every time they threw a punch a huge gust of wind would follow.

"This...!"

Wesler opened his eyes widely as he found that Souta was overpowering him.

"This can't be...!"

He continued to throw punches while ignoring Souta's punches which were landing on his body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After one minute, he was slowing down as his body couldn't handle the gravity field. He knew it. There's no doubt that he was going to lose against this first year. But he wouldn't let himself go down without doing anything.

So he quickly transferred all of his remaining mana in his right fist.

[Dominating Draconic Punch]!

Boundless might was within his fist. The air and the gravity field were shattered the moment he threw his fist in Souta's direction.

He was sure that if Souta took this punch he would receive heavy damage. A full-power attack from a top 11 ranker could gravely injure Souta.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, he saw Souta vanished in front of him like a bubble. His punch miss and the force behind it destroyed the building.

Boom!

The building exploded as the debris of rocks flew in the sky.

"Too bad. It didn't hit me."

A voice sounded beside Wesler's ear. He knew this voice was from Souta. He was just shocked to find that his last attack didn't even land on his opponent.

"This can't be..."

Wesler was shocked but he immediately regained his senses as he found that the gravity field was gone. He shattered it in his last attack.

He had a chance.

That's what he thought...

Souta pulled back both of his hands as black smoke covered his fists. The gravity field worked again and constricted

"Let me try it on you..."

[Transforming Shadow Barrage]!

Several punches landed on Wesler's body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The [Strength Boost], [Shadow Cloak], and [Triple Muscle Strengthening] were still active so the power of this combat arts grew several times.

Wesler couldn't do anything as the powerful punches of Souta were hitting his body nonstop.

The ground collapsed and shockwaves were sweeping out in the whole area.

"This is the end..." Souta said as he threw another punch on Wesler's stomach.

"Argh!"

He flew away and crashed into the building that he destroyed.

Boom!

Souta canceled all the skills that he was using to preserve his mana and his stamina. This battle was just the beginning. He couldn't afford to drain his mana and stamina this time.

"With my current strength, I could fight a high-level B-rank powerhouse. If I used my hidden cards, I could probably fight someone at rank A."

He muttered as he glanced at his stats.

...

In the red light district...

A group of ten people wearing a red robe and silver mask was standing on top of the building while looking down at the three people on the ground.

"We found her..." One of the people said in a plain tone. Their attention was focused on the little girl behind the two men.

"Stay back, Cl.u.s.ter," Brando said with a serious expression. He was looking warily at this group of people who appeared out of nowhere.

"Who are you?" Bryan opened his mouth and asked. His instinct was telling him that these people were dangerous.

"You don't need to know. You just have to give that little girl to us."
