SPELLCRAFT: Reincarnation Of A Magic Scholar
Chapter 1017 The World Of Martial Arts [Pt 1]
In a land where Demonic Beasts roam free, and the survival of humanity hinges on strength, a certain group were engaged in a ferocious conflict with the monsters that sought to devour them.
"RAHHHHH!!!"
~SWISH!~
Their voices ascended into the air as their blades rent the evil creatures into nothing but mincemeat.
Each of their weapons, varying in size and length, cut though the creatures with monstrous strength.
The Demonic Beasts, all having grotesque bodies, seemingly made of black ooze, roared and increased in number.
Their animal-like characteristics gave them sharp fangs and very long claws. Some even had spikes on their bodies, and their massive size made their malformed body appear all the more threatening.
Threatening enough to have made the humans back down every single time, running for their lives or even giving in to the despair of death... all until six months ago.
The day of Divine Descent, when the God King visited the land.
It was from that moment on that the world experienced a drastic change... and the humanity was finally given a chance to fight back.
They were graced with the divine power of the God King—capable of changing the heavens and shattering the earth.
... The power of Martial Arts!

'We can't fail!'
The thoughts of Wu Jie echoed in his heart as he swung his blade alongside the rest of his comrades
~SWOOOSSSHH~
The last batch of Demonic Beasts were now closing in on the group of thirty, and while they had yet to sustain any casualty, a majority of them were already greatly exhausted.
'To think that we can't even break past the tanks of the Initial Zone.'
Classifying the Zones of the Demonic Beasts Territory was something they had to do in order to survive.
Most wouldn't have dared to even venture toward the edge of the Initial Zone before the arrival of the God King, but a few had no choice, considering the need for survival among the humans.
However, ever since the God King's descent into the mortal realm, and showing them the power of the transcendent plane, the enlightened humans could now easily trespass the Initial Zone.
A few could even go past it and reach the Purgatory Zone.
Beyond that, though, where the final three—Dreadful, Chaos, and Nightmare—Zones, which only the God King could challenge.
Only he had the power to lead the world and it's people down the right path.
~VWUUUMMM!!!~
Wu Jie's blade was now very slow thanks to his weary self, but he never stopped swinging.
The same applied to his comrades.
"The God King vanquished millions of the Demonic Beasts in the Battle of The Millennium Days!" He roared, his body suddenly bursting with innate energy.
The Battle of The Millennium Days refered to their God King's conquest within the territory of the Demonic Beasts. The stories said that he spent ten days and ten nights slaying Demonic Beasts until he arrived at the very core.
He never took a break, and the echoes of his destruction kept echoing to all the desolate humans that witnessed from afar.
Wu Jie knew better than to compare himself with such a being, but that story served as an inspiration for all the Martial Artists of this world.
'The God King... he taught us not to give up! Martial Arts is the ultimate power. We must never fail it!'
And with that logic driving him, Wu Jie clenched his teeth and strengthened his aching muscles.
"I won't fail! Not yet..." And so, with newfound energy, the swordsman charged into battle once more.
... And so did the rest of his comrades.

[Several Hours Later]
It was now late in the night, and the group of thirty currently surrounded a fire to give them warmth.
The world was greeted with the vast sky that served as a great canopy over them, and the stars that glimmered above were simply glowing rocks of divine wisdom.
In this world, each of those stars represented their fallen ones, and the God King had told them that in a world beyond those stars... there existed even more transcendent beings like him.
Did that mean their comrades who had perished were now on the way to becoming transcendental existences too?
Or perhaps they were simply watching over then and waiting for them to be reunited so their journey to transcendence could begin.
No one really knew for sure, and when the question was posed to the God King, he told them to follow their hearts and search for the answers that lay in the depths.
Such profound words from a profound man—no, he was more than a man.
Wu Jie was still dwelling and reminiscing on those thoughts when his comrades began bursting into chatter.
"Haaa... somehow we managed to win!"
"Right? There were more Demonic Beasts than we expected. I didn't think we could all make it out alive, but we managed somehow."
"This way, the Demonic Beasts won't overflow and attack our residence..."
"Exactly. The others are probably done with their patrol in the other regions too."
"We can now experience a new full moon cycle of peace."
"It's all thanks to the might of the God King!"
"Indeed! The God King is the best!"
"The God King rules!"
"He stretches out his hands and carves out the path to the future."
"His words are wise and profound that not even the greatest sages could ever decipher them."
His build is like an unshakable mountain, dwarfing the greatest hills."
The words went on and on, mostly giving praises to the God King
pandasnovel.com Wu Jie found himself gently nodding his head and smiling.
It pleased him that his comrades knew the true meaning of gratitude.
'If it wasn't for His descent, we would have perished by now.'
After all, in this world, the Demonic Beasts had been at the very top of the food chain.
But the God King changed everything!
