12 Chapter 12: Inter-class Competition

Derik dashed through the forests of area zero with traces of fear in his eyes, he heard the rumbling sound get closer from behind and knew the monster was getting closer; he tried to control his breathing as he ran and cursed silently

[Why am I so unlucky?]

BAM!!!

A huge stone club about 3 meters long hit Derik's previous position but he was already gone. Hanging on to a tree branch, Derik's eyes were fixed on the level 5 ogre which screamed and recklessly dashed towards him. He sneered and let go of the branch, using his feet to push himself even higher

BAM!!!

The stone club landed on the tree, knocking more than half of the tree away. Derik gasped when he saw this, this monster is only a level 5 monster, and so why is it this strong? Does that mean higher level monsters are way more terrifying? Initially tried to hide his physical capabilities not to arouse suspicion but when faced with death, why should he hide it? The moment his feet made contact with the ground he launched himself at the ogre covering over five meters in an instant.

Gasps…

A series of gasps were heard all over the streets of Briton, at first they felt pity for the young archer for encountering a high-level monster at the beginning of the competition and praised him for his mobility and flexibility. Now they finally realized why he was nicknamed 'son of wind'. But seeing someone who desperately tried to escape a few moments ago suddenly charge at the monster is shocking, not only is the monster a level 5 being, generally known for its enormous strength but Derik is also an archer who specializes at ranged combat, but seeing the boy cover so much distance in just a few seconds, the viewers were completely shocked. They heard stories of the 'son of wind' taking on a goblin warlord at close quarters and thought it was just mere luck but after witnessing this, they finally realized that the boy had been holding back all this while. His physical capabilities are on par with most melee classes if not greater!!! Even John and Linda were left speechless when they saw this, everyone finally realized why Scott Lockwood chose this kid as the Lockwood family knight

…

…

The ogre was taken by surprise by the sudden increase in the speed of the human; it took a step back and swung its stone club at Derik. Derik was caught off guard by this, he never expected the ogre to possess such superb reaction speed, and he was already too close to escape this attack. He gritted his teeth as he welcomed the enormous stone club with both hands

BOOOM!!!

He gritted his teeth in pain and his hands felt numb, there were traces of shock on his face as he was forced to retreat by a few steps, omegas are rated level 9, yet a level 5 could surpass him in strength, at the moment he felt like the ratings were not accurate but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that the omegas possessed high-speed regenerative abilities and enhanced perception which the ogre lacked, also the true strength of a werewolf only comes during the full moon. At this moment, without the aid of the full moon or the access to the first transformation, he is below the level 9 rating.

The ogre was also shocked by the outcome of the clash, how can such weak and feeble creatures humans be on par with it in terms of strength. The ogre roared and swung its stone club horizontally at Derik again. Derik eyes slightly glowed blue and he roared in response

Wooosh!!!

Derik had already left his previous position before the stone club could reach him. The ogre and the viewers were stupefied by the scene, Derik jumped as high as ten meters to evade the attack.

"Don't you dare look down on me!!!" Derik screamed as descended with a clenched fist!

BAM!!!

Crack!!!

When Derik's punch hit, a loud bone-shattering sound was heard but no one could locate the source because both Derik and the ogre screamed in pain. The ogre retreated by a few steps and let go of its stone club, using its enormous hand to caress its head as it shook it repeatedly. Derik seeing this dashed forward ignoring his aching right hand, equipping himself with his crossbow with his left hand.

"It's over!!!" He screamed as he dashed forward.

Traces of fear could be seen on the ogre's face when it saw the human approach, at this point if felt like prey instead of a predator, the ogre roared and punched forward with its right hand but Derik was already prepared for this. He slightly moved to the left to evade the attack and then leaped forward. The ogre roared in response and swung its massive fist at the airborne foe with its left hand.

BANG!!!

Derik's body was sent flying like a rocket, crashing into a tree after flying for over five meters. He screamed in pain as his body hit the tree, and vision blurred for a second, his thoughts were scrambled, it felt like a thick fog filled his head, he was utterly confused. The ogre screamed as well and fell on its butt as it tried to pull out the little bolt that penetrated its left eye with its enormous hands, but due to the size of its hands, each time it tries to pull out the bolt, it pushed it deeper unknowingly. The viewers gasped and cursed the ogre; they felt pity for the young archer who struggled to get on his feet. Even if the archer managed to defeat this beast, he wouldn't be able to go against other participants or monsters later on, due to the injuries he has sustained. In their opinion, Derik was just unlucky.

Derik staggered as he sluggishly approached the ogre; he unsheathed his dagger and carefully advanced. His body hurt badly and he couldn't afford to take another direct hit.

"Damn it…" he muttered when the ogre spotted him and slowly got on its feet, he silently cursed this beast for possessing insane durability. He finally realized what the battle mage classes had to go through just to take down two of these things. Traces of fear and anger could be seen on the face of the ogre as it remained rooted on the spot, not retreating or advancing. Its eyes spotted it's stone club lying on the floor and its gaze quickly shifted to Derik, it could tell that Derik was aware of its intentions.

Wooosh!!!

Derik and ogre quickly dashed towards the stone club but unfortunately for the ogre, it was greatly lacking in speed when compared to Derik. Reaching the stone club, Derik turned his back on the approaching ogre grabbed the handle and screamed, his muscles began bulging and his eyes turned blue. The ogre kept approaching; refusing to believe that this human would be able to lift the stone club

Wooosh!!!

Derik blue eyes burned brighter as he made a 180 degrees turn with the stone club in his hands when the ogre got close enough.

BOOOM!!!

The stone club hit the ogre's waist and sent it flying a few meters away, sounds of shattering bones could be heard. The ogre screamed in agony and struggled desperately to get on its feet but its legs refused to respond. It quickly turned its attention to Derik who slowly approached dragging the three-meter long stone club with him. The fear in its eyes was visible and the viewers screamed in elation as they watched

Too Strong!!!

So Domineering!!!

This boy's physique surpassed that of average bronze-level melee adventurers. Even the mysterious mage who had a talisman tied to his right hand was stupefied by this

How is this boy an archer?

He has seen young people blessed with incredible strength but all of them belonged to guardian knight class.

"So this is the archery class's ace?" the mysterious sorcerer muttered.

Scott and the rest of the Lockwood family all had smiles on their faces, not only did Derik prove his worth and capabilities to the Lockwood family but he also announced himself to the town!!!.John Angus finally understood what Derik meant when he claimed he had become strong, even Linda refused to believe that the brown-haired recruit shown on the orb of water was his brother.

…

…

…

"Worthless beast" Derik muttered as he smashed the ogres head with the stone club. He then picked up his dagger and sat on the belly of the dead ogre. His eyes were fixed on a particular location in the forest

"Don't you think it's time for you to make a move… if I'm given time to recover, you will never be able to defeat me" Derik said, the murderous intent in his tone could not be hidden.

At first, everyone thought the archer had gone crazy but just a few seconds later a figure emerged from the shadow of a tree about 7 meters away from Derik.

"I didn't expect a recruit would be able to see through my stealth technique" a feminine voice could be heard

Her pitch-black long flowing hair fluttered in the wind as she emerged from the shadow, her slender body was completely covered with black bandages including her nose and mouth, only her eyes visible. Derik was slightly startled, he had heard of the death god of the assassin class, Daemon. He expected this person to be a guy, but this… he stared at the girl utterly confused, not only did the gender disappoint him but her choice of clothing was also poor

"What are you wearing" Derik mustered the courage to ask. He couldn't understand why this girl would dress like this. Daemon frowned in response and placed her hands on the bare ground, suddenly her shadow expanded forming a circle around her. From the shadow, two strange-looking daggers emerged.

Seeing this Derik frowned slightly but refused to move, currently, he could feel his injuries heal. Yes, she can pull out her tools from her shadow… so what?He can grow claws and fangs. He stared at the girl indifferently and slowly pulled out his class medal which he hung around his neck and placed it on the ground right in front of him

"You want this? Am I correct… even in my current condition, I doubt you will be able to take this medal away from me" he said

"Such confidence… Because you're able to take down a level 5 monster alone does not mean you're invincible to are to recruits… there others in this forest capable of this… you are not immortal, you can still be killed" She replied

"Invincible? Immortal? ... Don't be a stupid girl… no one is truly immortal... I'm just confident in my abilities…" Derik replied indifferently

"So am I… let's see who walks out of here with two medals!!!" Daemon screamed and dashed towards Derik.
