Flipping the book cover and reading a few lines, Danzel nodded satisfied.

"That should keep me busy for a while..."

Closing the book, Danzel glanced with his hollow eyes on the frozen trio.

"So what are you three waiting for? Get out already." Danzel said to the three.

The latter ignored him and looked at him with a frown on their face.

"That voice..." Kayn mumbled to himself.

He clearly knew that very voice.

The voice that kept repeating in his nightmare both scared him and gave him confidence.

The responsibility that he had on other lives and how he should accept being what he was.

Remember the tall figure that confidently said those things and literally threw him like a rag a few meters away.

That alone shook Kayn´s mentality, who was currently only a 17 years old teenager.

But the most rememberable thing about that figure was the fact that he was undead.

Not only was the idea of living with your family at the same place where an undead who were famous to hate the living was. The sole idea that he thought of himself as a monster and the undead, Danzel as a person made him change his mind if only a little bit.

But his opinion of one thing didn´t change.

He, Anna and Marcus found him terrifying.

Though in their training they were a few times where they fought some skeletons so that they know how to fight them a Skeletor type undead.

`This is completely different compared to our fight.´ Anna thought to herself.

The seer pressure that gave out a feeling of dread that Danzel was giving was completely different compared to the skeleton's unending hate of life. 

To her defense, the feeling of danger that she was feeling was amplified from the dead mana in the room.

Undead generally were very territory by nature alone and were rarely found living among the living

With the dead mana being in a way infections to the living that could potentially harm them.

Being inside a room full of dead mana would make one's body subconsciously send warning signals.

That, and simply because they were standing before a much superior entity.

Soon though their fear disappeared.

`Right, we don´t have to be scared of him. We trained tirelessly through the 2 years and have increased our strength enough to face Master Hanson. Facing against must be much easier compared to our master!´

The three thought at the same time.

But such though were quickly swept away by their purposes of being here in the first place.

That was, to be guards for that Undead in front of them.

Unfortunately for Kayn and Anna, Marcus wasn´t the same opinion.

"Why-"

Before he even had the chance to finish his sentence, two dark green hands appeared behind his back.

As it was so sudden, Marcus couldn't stop the hand gripping his armor.

The next moment, he was dragged towards the door.

Even with the resistance that Marcus had tried to give, he was helplessly thrown headfirst out of the room.

"I didn't ask for you guys' opinion..."

Edward who saw this by side put a wet smile on his face.

Taking that as an offensive action, both Kayn and Anna went readied to fight.

But Danzel wasn't having that.

Commanding the dark green arms to fly at the magic caster, Anna was unsure what to do with the two arms flying directly at her.

As every spell that she learn that could possibly serve best would take too long, she began doing what any other caster would do if forced into close combat.

That was swinging her staff!

"Take that!"

Swinging her staff at one of the arms, it hit!

Alas, the staff was brushed off like it was nothing and continued flying at her.

As she was too close with Marcus, Kayns shadows tried to reach out and destroy the hand but were too late.

Gripping Annas cloak, the dark green arms threw her like a sack of potatoes outside just like Marcus.

"Kyaagh!"

Kayn sighed in relief seeing the two just being thrown out without any harm if you were to ignore Anna sitting on Marcus' back.

Soon after, the hands began to move in his direction, but Kayn gave them a cold glance.

Once they got close he struck the two hands with a smooth movement without batting sweat.

Danzel who saw that didn´t show much of a reaction.

"So? What are you waiting for? Get out."

Hearing that Kayn contemplated if he should do as he said or try to fight him.

Having fought with Hanson who he heard was the peak of a 3rd-tier person and able to exchange blows, Kayn was really curious about how strong his fear really was.

Seeing the determination in Kayn´s eyes building up, Danzel scoffed.

"So dump..." Danzel said as he walked towards Kayn.

Kayn's body bleed dark mana which fell to the ground and created two shadows of his.

But as soon as they formed their form Danzel dashed as fast as he was capable, making him seem like he appeared in an instant to Kayn.

With wide-open eyes, he commanded his shadows to attack Danzel but saw no success as they got destroyed with a punch from Danzel.

"!!!"

Feeling the danger ahead, Kayn draw his extracted blade out went to penetrate Danzel's head.

"I see..." Moving to the side, Danzel gripped Kayns throat with the speed that Kayn couldn´t follow.

"You guy´s haven´t learned your lesson after two whole years"

Raising him to the air, Kayn struggled to remove the hand that was grabbing his throat firmly.

"Let go...!"

"You guys are quite lucky, if it weren´t for Hanson annoying me about his students of his, then I would have killed you on the spot."

Throwing him to the door beside the struggling Marcus, he summoned his Dark green mana hands that began closing slowly the door.

"I got to say though, you guys really are lucky to be saved by the same man."

"Anyway, next time any of you come in without my consent, expect to say goodbye to that life of yours."

*Baahm!

Holding his throat to lessen the pain, Kayn glanced at the door somewhat depressed.

`We weren´t able to do anything...´ Kayn lammed internally.

Unbeknownst to him and the other two, they misunderstood something.

Compared to Hanson who was holding back for the sake of training them and Danzel who was going full out the moment he wanted something to be done.

They never stood a chance.

***

Having the trash that consistent of overconfident teenagers out of his room, Danzel went back to his table and looked at the book that he had ordered for a long time ago.

The first time he asked for it was around 6 months ago. But only now did Hanson allow for it to come to him.

Sitting down in his seat, Danzel opened the book with a grin on his face.

"Hehehe~This is it!" Danzel laughed, making a rather intimidating picture of an undead laughing.

Such a picture could be compared to how magic casters finally break through their research.

It was neither a grimoire holding ancient spells nor a forbidden one.

It was simple, a book containing most of the map of the world!

Be it the new kingdoms like the Begum Kingdom and the Arcana Kingdom or the still remaining old kingdoms, they were detailed drawn for Danzel to see!

Even the parts where the map had unidentified parts drawn in it, there were still the outlines out there to see!

"Though it wasn´t that bad...I endured long enough."

He had been stuck here with limited freedom for two whole years, carving runes for Hanson for that long. Although he learned a few new skills and received much more experience in handling the runes to the point where creating [Well-done] runes wasn´t as rare as it was back then and the resources to continuously farm XP was nice.

Danzel strived for freedom.

Although the dead mana in the air made his stay much more comfortable.

Being inside the room made him remember how he was in the cave while at times hearing whispers of someone or something.

If it weren´t for the fact that he turned reading books into his hobby, then him going mad would very well be possible.

"Finally, I can plan out getting out of his place..." Danzel said as he stared at his status.

So that he doesn´t alert Hanson in some sort of way, he only leveled himself a few times together with some of the skills and runes that he needed to make for Hanson.

Leading him to hoard most of his XP to his storage.

In a way, he was loaded.

"I can finally spend all my efforts of those two years of my effort." Staring at the very bottom of his status, Danzel couldn´t help but get excited.

[XP: 90 880 425]

"Now, with what should I start with...."
