In one of the upper rooms at the Clark's Inn, three persons could be seen.
''Seriously, it's tiring to pretend to be someone else, but at the same time, it's also quite fun.''
Alex disguised as Sam said as he sat on the chair, facing him were the disguised Sakuya (as Mio) and Lilith (as Elsa).
''Fufufu! Blonde hair suit very well. You look like a third-rate school punk.'' Sakuya said.
''Pft"
Lilith laughed. It was the first time Sakuya saw Lilith smile, so she was surprised.
''How surprising. I never thought that you smile. Even when disguised, you look beautiful when you smile. You should smile more.''
''I will. Someone has insisted that I should smile more and decided to listen to his advice.'' Lilith responded with a light smile.
Sakuya glared at Alex when she heard Lilith's words.
''Cough! Now that we have successfully managed to leave the capital without whoever spying on us. We should make a proper plan of what to do from now on.'' Alex coughed to changed the subject.
''Well. There are still a thousand kilometers before we leave the human continent and pass through the Dark forest; beyond the dark forest is the demon forest. We should immediately rush to the demon's continent. We might have disguised ourselves. However, the other party should be waiting for our arrival. If we were to head over there now, we would fall into their trap.''
Sakuya proved that she was not Maria's right-hand man for nothing; she might be a bit sadist; however, she is smart.
''Well said. For now, let's take few missions.'' Alex decided after hearing Sakuya's words.
The girls nodded before leaving Alex's room to go to their own.
''Sera's technique is sure godly, as expected of the top assassin, with such a skill you can perfectly blend everywhere. It's a good thing that I have her on my side. I must never let her go.'' Alex murmured as he gazed at the ceiling.
It was thanks to Sera's that Alex and Sakuya were able to disguise. Even Lilith praised Sera's skill.
''Sil, I think that it's time for me to start training on the second level of the Illusionary Battlefield.''
〖Yeah, I also think it's time for you to start.〗
Silveria said before sending to the second level of the Illusionary Battlefield.
Alex appeared inside a ruin, looking everywhere he could only see buildings in ruin. It was as he appeared inside a ghost city.
Suddenly, without warning, a dark beast pounced on Alex from behind a half-broken building.
Swoosh!
After dodging the monster's attack, Alex threw a knife toward the monster's head; unexpectedly, it was blocked.
Clangs!
''Seriously, how tough is this monster's fur to be able to block Razor?" Alex complained while appraising the monster in front of him.
[Dark Sabertooth Tiger Level 65.
Skills: Sharp Claws, Tough Skin, Intimidation.]
''Wow! A Rank 7 monster right at the start. This level isn't going to be easy.'' Alex commented.
The Dark Sabertooth Tiger's red eyes shined, he activated his Intimidation skill; unfortunately, his opponent was Alex, someone that possessed the Death's eye.
The moment the Dark Sabertooth Tiger activated his eyes skill, he froze because it got counterattacked by Alex's right eye.
''Blade Dance: Third form: Beheader."
Alex said as his body moved; he momentarily stopped in front of the frozen tiger; he moved right and left before appearing behind the monster's back.
Thud!
The Dark Sabertooth Tiger's head fell to the ground.
''Huff! This skill consumes a bit of MP. Well, I was able to borrow the wind to perform multiple slashes at the same time.''
Alex has recently developed this skill; he thought that using normal knife moves would be boring without perfection.
''Seriously, give me a break,'' Alex complained; however, there was a smile on his face.
Three additional Dark Sabertooth Tiger appeared immediately; the three pounced on Alex.
Holding his knives in a reverse grip, Alex shouted.
''Blade Dance: Seventh Form: Hurricane.''
At the same time, he poured MP into Sleipnir; instantly, his body started spinning on himself. With Alex at the center, a hurricane was formed; from this hurricane, sharp blades could be seen.
The three Dark Sabertooth Tigers sensed the danger; they tried to retreat; unfortunately, they were a step too late. The hurricane moved toward them; two among the three tigers were shredded to pieces, the third was gravely injured.
Alex stopped his skill and panted.
''Huff! Huff! This form consumes too much MP. More than half of my MP is gone. Well, considering that I have used the third form before this, it's understandable. I can say the Seventh Form consume half of my current MP. Still, it's deadly. Ops! I shall end the poor tiger suffering.''
Alex then threw a knife at the half-dead monster.
Puff!
Maybe because half of its body was gone, the knife was able to pierce through the monster's skull, killing it perfectly.
The three tiger's corpses dispersed into a white light that entered Alex's body like the previous one. Unlike the first level, where killing the monsters, especially the boss gave Alex an increase of stats points, the second level wasn't like that. It increased Alex's XP.
Although Alex was happy to be able to level up inside his dream, he couldn't help but be distressed when he saw the amount of XP the Dark Sabertooth Tigers gave him, 500 XP per tiger.
To be able to able to level up, he would need to kill at least fifty Dark Sabertooth Tigers.
''Ah! Let's continue. At least I must level once before leaving.''
Alex said before starting to explore the ghost city; occasionally, he would face few tigers. Before leaving the ghost city, he killed another ten Dark Sabertooth Tigers; it was the only monster in the vicinity of the ghost city.
After Alex left the Ghost city, a forest appeared; however, from here, Alex spotted a tall skyscraper.
''To go there, I must go through this unknown forest. I believe that skyscraper is my final destination. I must go there.'' Alex said before stepping into the silent forest.
Silveria, who was floating in the cloud, saw Alex entered the forest. She smiled before looking at the tall tower in the distance.
''It's going to be fun.''
At the same time, in the floating capital, Artemia's mansion, the lowest floor. This floor is used for Artemia's personal use, a small pocket dimensions.
''Here, take it.''
While saying this, Artemia passed to Gracier, who sat cross-legged on top of a mountain a red cube; it was the same cube Artemia received from Emilia, her best friend; she was a flame user like Gracier, this red cube contains her remained essence, it is highly beneficial to a flame user. Artemia thought that Gracier fit perfectly for this red cube, so she gives it to her.
The moment Gracier held the red cube, she could feel the terrible heat the latter contained; it makes her blood boil.
[Oh?! What a good surprise. Quickly eat this. It will help you.] Ignia suggested.
Gracier swallowed the red cube.
Gulp!
Artemia tensed up; she was ready to intervene at any moment if she sees that the situation was bad; fortunately, nothing bad happened.
The moment Gracier swallowed that cube, she felt like she had swallowed a burning rock. Her temperature rose, red veins appeared all over her body; she experienced intense pain; however, compared to what she went through with Maddog, it was nothing.
Soon, the pain passed and Gracier felt refreshed.
Holding her nose, Artemia said.
''You should take a bath first.''
Finally, Gracier noticed the awful smell coming from her body; immediately, she went to take a bath.
Shortly after she came back fully dressed, she feels lighter and closer to nature than she used to.
''Great, please check your status,'' Artemia suggested.
''Understood, teacher,'' Gracier responded before calling out her status.

''Wow! My MP increased by 1000. That's a good thing.'' Gracier was overjoyed, as Mage, she needs a lot of MP to cast spells continuously; now that her MP was increased, this means she could fight longer, use more powerful skills; not only her MP was increased, her attack stat and defense increased as well, even one of her previous was unlocked.

''Let's go.''
