That little shit who caused all of this is here!

Wait, it's range! Shit!

[Decisiveness]

[Silent Steps]!

In an instant, I moved another 150m backwards by using instantaneous movement thrice. Right after, I felt a mental energy sweep through the place I was before.

Its range, which surpasses 100m(The captain is 100m away from the target before, but he got done in), can easily detect me exiting this crack. I was 50m away from it, but I moved 150m away. It can be deduced that its range wouldn't exceed 200m.

If not for my fast reaction, I would've died. When I entered the "Decisive" state, I wasn't frozen by fear and panic. I have to thank that too.

[Sword Willows]!

Different from before, the entire cave was lightened up by this flood-like Aura blades.

I took exactly 5 seconds to form half of it. With my Wisdom stat at E+, I can only summon half of the 10k. Also, it would only contain a power equivalent to a E+ Rank.

[Sword Willows(purple)]

-A fusion technique borne from several purple-ranked techniques. It's optimized to better contain the energy generated from the [Military Fundamentals—Cultivation(gold)].

Current Level: Master

-Allows the practitioner to unleash 10,000 Aura blades with solidified sword intent. You can still do so without a sword, as the sword intent had been solidified. 

5,000 Aura blades, each having the strength of an E+ rank. How did I make it possible? Simple.

Mastery.

As I have the <Master> Mastery, I can completely control the aura blades. I only needed to structure those once, as it will draw the energy needed from its surroundings.

With myself as its core, I can unleash most of its power thanks to [Decisiveness] increasing my thinking speed.

Unleash!

A Purple-White light flooded the entire cave, killing that meatball and the ten or so guards in its wake.

Even a B- Rank wouldn't survive that, I guess. Only those at S Rank can have the rank suppression, which will allow them to ignore attacks from someone below S rank, even if its on millions.

As that little shit didn't have that, its very natural that it died. If a single E+ Rank Aura blade can scratch it, 5,000 E+ Rank Aura bladed can cut it to pieces.

[Experience gained. Exp +35,000]

[Experience gained. Exp +20,000]

[Experience gained. Exp +10,000]

[Expe..]

Many prompts appeared in my eyes. Killing a B- Rank zerg plus its ten or so guards. It's unbelievable to be honest.

Without further ado, I used [Silent Steps] to get away from here, as I felt a premonition.

Krrr!

A very loud noise echoed in the cave. I knew it. That S+ Rank Brain Worm sensed the commotion here. I have to get out FAST.

Damn it, I miscalculated. That Sword Willows from earlier costed me almost all of my Martial Force! The mental exhaustion is quite bad too. I looked at my exp panel.

[Exp: 187,950]

Almost 200,000 exp, my all-time high. Those guards might've been at C- to C+ Rank while the rest are small fries. Upgrade my Vessel to B !

[ 108,000 exp spent. The Vessel stat has been upgraded to B Rank.]

With my Vessel stat reaching a whole new level, I felt my limit grow higher whilst recovering the energy that I've expended earlier.

5 seconds later, it stabilized. I'm now at my 88% capacity. Higher level Martial Force filled my vessels. Not only will this cause my attacks to be stronger, the energy spent will be lesser as well compared to before!

[Silent Steps]!

Every 50m, I used it to change places instantaneously. This moment is a race against time. Not only do I have to go to the exit, but also run away from these zergs.

An instantaneous movement costs me 3% of my Martial Force, but I don't have the leeway to think about it.

As I escape, I passed through many types of zergs, with C Ranks being the highest. It's all thanks to my instantaneous movements that I didn't got caught.

Little bit more..

After some time, I saw a light—a moonlight. The exit!

I finally got out, but before even having the time to react, my mind blanked, causing me to crash somewhere in the dead trees.

"Kuhk!"

A very angry Mind Disability attack. Thank goodness that I already left the cave, its domain.

I didn't stand up, but continued using the instantaneous movement a few more times until I can't do so anymore.

Did I.. lose it?

My head aches. The mental exhaustion from all those techniques caught up! I should use my body.

Upgrade Agility to C+ !

[16,000 exp spent. The Agility stat has been upgraded to C+.]

64k Exp left. This C+ stat Agility should be enough. I need to supplement my Stamina..

Upgrade Stamina to C+!

[44,000 exp spent. The Stamina stat has been upgraded to C+.]

Control. I was given more control over my body. Not stopping, I ran to the direction that I guessed to be the city.

Speed burst. Burst. And Even more burst. My legs ached, my mind is exhausted due to the repeated use of skills, but I didn't stop.

I had a feeling that I'm still not safe. That I'll be fucked up the moment I do.

After some time, it came to the point where I couldn't even use those speed bursts anymore. Even with my C+ Rank Stamina, continuous speed bursts are still to much.

 I've been sprint-walking due to how badly hurt my legs are. It may be bleeding that bad, but I didn't care.

Get. Away. From. Here.

-----

I don't how much time had passed, but its still at night.

My body can't move anymore, but my mind can still force it. If I hadn't activated [Decisiveness] at that time, I'd be dead.

I'm still walking on a surroundings filled with dead trees. I don't know where I am, but I'll just keep on running.

To my surprise, I saw a group of people in this dead forest. Ah, it's the vice captain.

"Vice.. Captain. I'll leave myself to you."

Seemingly startled, the vice captain looked at me with wide eyes. He said something, but I couldn't understand it anymore. I soon lost my consciousness.
