I recommend listening to this while reading this chapter and the next one too. https://youtu.be/Y41Qlu6W0Oo **** That's right Aldrich fought and lost in the second floor's hallway quite a few times, he also killed a few husks up there. The hallway should be stuffed with corpses right now. Yet when he returned to challenge the armored husk yesterday the hallway was clear, not a single body to be found, even today, he should find at least three of his bodies there. But there was only the equipment that…-

Aldrich looked at his new body and smiled, the armored husk was a very tough opponent and to figure out all his tricks he will probably have to die a few more times. Aldrich hated the feeling of death, it was as disgusting as ever but he learned to accept it and harness the advantage of his immortality, now he was going to put it to full use. That bizarre step which made him lose sight of the husk and the stamina stealing abilities were extremely dangerous. The armored husk proved that it could use them…

In the past few days Aldrich felt his skills reach a new heights. It was not an increase in strength or speed but more so the culmination of his experiences and skills. So he spent these last few days preparing vigorously and resting, until this day. Though he couldn't guarantee victory and might even 'die' he had no intention of delaying anymore. Still he didn't spend any orbs at all and was not planning to, at least not yet. Aldrich removed the various things he used to seal the door of the common…

Aldrich continued reading with immense focus, he had disconnected himself from the outside world. His entire world was consumed by this piece of paper. After he read the piece multiple times he was able to summarize it. Basically the massacre was pushed onto the monsters without anyone to dispute it. No one even seems to suspect anything. Lord Seinalt Enthelmyre has publicly denounced the savagery of the monsters and pointed the blame to the lords and officials of the Drnain region. In turn the lords…

Ayemon continued his narration as if he didn't notice Aldrich's doubts. "It's not like Crestmasters get a bad deal, most Crestmaster could pay off their debts in a few short years. At least most of them won't be debt ridden for more than five years. Being sponsored by a noble house is a blessing that people kill for, Crestmasters that show great potential get married into those families. It's not an exaggeration to say that they have assured their line's prosperity for a few generations, in a…

"Imagine for a moment that you are exploring the ruins of an ancient forest when suddenly and silently your party members go missing one after another. This is not the work of a ghost or an evil spirit but a single Bulette ambushed them from the very ground they walked on." Aldrich felt a chill up his spine just thinking about it, this was the weakest of the weak? It didn't have any other ability so to speak. However that one ability was already so deadly. Ayemon used the word swim, that was not a…

"Actually I'm a student too but nothing as impressive as you, I study architecture in the technical college. You did say something like that about being and adventurer last night, I thought you were were one of the people that go hunting in the sunken valley and call themselves adventurers. They don't even belong to any guild and they go in numbers of twenty or more. These kinds of people are desperate to boast about themselves." "Really? There are people like that? But I thought that even ordinary…

Once Aldrich returned to real world he opted to sleep right away. He opened his eyes thinking that morning had come but it was still night and he was woken up by the loud noise coming from his neighbors. Shouting, it was an argument. Aldrich tried to go back to sleep but the noise persisted, it sounded like an argument that went bad. Soon Aldrich couldn't take it any more, he decided to go have a word with his neighbors. This was not acceptable, it was the middle of the night and he was trying to sleep.…

That whole ordeal still irked Aldrich. At some point he thought that he could identify how strong a husk was by their armor. The better the armor the stronger the husk, or so he thought. But that was actually illogical, it made no sense in reality, he became sure of that when he cleared the first tower of the barracks. When Aldrich first saw the half-plate of the level two husk he thought it it was stronger than the armored husk that occupied the second floor of his base. But of course, after Aldrich…

The training today was split into three parts, first was the seventy laps and second was the twenty eight sword forms practice. Finally he had hand to hand combat with Gazeff. Aldrich guessed that Gazeff added the hand to hand combat to create a suitable excuse to beat him up. Which he did. That was a blow to Aldrich who thought that he was getting good as a fighter. Gazeff told him that this style was called the bone breaker art by the monks that taught him. Aldrich could indeed attest that this art was…
