Chapter 48: The Chaos Warrior
The misty haze of the morning sun filtered through the clouded window, casting a warm glow on the old wooden floor.
With the sun on his back, Adam sat at the edge of his bed with a thoughtful look.
His interface floated right in front of him, which had slightly changed.

Two skills had appeared.
'If I recall correctly, Little God skill wasn't there to begin with. Therefore, it appeared as soon as I used it the first time. I suppose it counted as me learning it.
'Basic Blade Handling appeared like it was supposed to. It is still at zero percent, and I can't really use it in combat yet.
'It isn't a normal skill. It is a passive skill. It increases my handling of the sword. It is like the Little God skill, which is passive. Unlike active skills, I don't need to shout out the skill name for it to work.
'However, Little God is still the strangest passive skill. It activates when I want to, so it is basically a mix of passive and active skills. I still don't need to say 'Little God' out loud for it to work.
'After I learn Basic Blade Handling, my swordsmanship will increase slightly. I've already seen the effects of my swordsmanship, as I am not as good as a swordsman as I was in my previous life.
'Not that I was any good; I was decent enough, I guess, but compared to the best
swordmasters, I was way behind. I had learned all the way to Expert Blade Handling and I can see the effects clearly.'
In his previous life, Adam's style of fighting was a mixture of different things. He used a sword and shield to fight, and his role in the guild was that of a Tank.
Tank's job was to protect Magick Masters while they bombarded Chaosbeings with their magical spells.
His swordmanship was above average; his skill with the shield was considered good as he was able to defend against attacks from swordmasters.
step further.
At that moment, a sword fell from the ceiling and stabbed through the ground, right in the middle of the chamber room. It looked massive and ancient, with a large blade and long
handle.
It definitely wasn't a one-handed sword. It also seemed too heavy to be wielded with two
hands.
"Just what kind of person can wield that kind of weapon..." A player whispered to himself, but
it was heard by nearby players.
They also gulped and nodded, wondering the same thing.
C-c-c-crack!
At that moment, the ceiling collapsed onto the heavy-looking sword, but amidst all the dust and debris, a figure emerged with one hand wrapped around the sword's hilt.
The players drew their weapons and moved to their attacking stances. But then, their eyes
widened as text appeared over the figure.
[The Chaos Warrior, Kuruma]
[Health: 100%]
'Health as a percentage?' Ramon furrowed his brows and tightened his hold on his machete.
'This is different, very different.'
'The children's games have been played.' Adam thought with a serious look. 'First and second floors are a joke compared to this and the rest of the dungeon. The real, dangerous Chaosbeings have their health as percentages.
'Bloody Chaosbeing and The Clown Boy are considered minor Chaosbeings, even if they're Floor Bosses. They're still nothing compared to the real threats, like The Chaos Warrior.'
After the dust cleared, everyone saw a rusty-armored figure, enormously tall. It was nearly five meters tall, bulging with muscles beneath the thick armor. It wore rusty armor with a helmet that covered the entirety of its face.
It didn't have any visible weaknesses or openings in its armor.
At that moment, Kuruma raised its sword with one hand. It didn't seem to even struggle as it lifted the heavy weapon above its head.
Swoosh-an arrow flew from somewhere and landed on Kuruma's chest. However, it bounced off harmlessly, as if the arrow were made out of plastic.
A player, with a bow in hand, paled and stumbled backwards with a pale face. He felt naked, as
he felt like he was currently being stared at by Kuruma, even though its head wasn't facing his
direction.
At that moment, Kuruma's head snapped to the left, staring straight at the archer, and then it lunged forward like a bolt of lightning. It was surprisingly quick for someone of its size!
"Ah!" The archer froze in horror.
Kuruma lifted its sword high and then smashed it down on the archer.
Clang, smash!
