.... At the Entrance of the 'Dark Swamp Map', a group of 20 Players were killing off a bunch of 'Dark Swamp Monsters', while also looking for someone. The Levels of these Players varies from Level 50 as the lowest while Level 55 on the highest. Their equipments were not that bad, most of them have a full set of Bronze Rank items, while others even have a full set silver equipments. These players also wearing assorted kinds of emblems on their chest. For ordinary players, this team can already be treated as a strong group, but for the real Powerhouse Guilds they are just a bunch of players in the commodity, for they are from the subordinate guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild', and are task to hunt Shin down. An 'Archer Blood Elf' of the group walked towards a 'Spell Caster Naga' that looks like the Leader of the team, and whispered some words. "Captain, are you sure we can find that guy here? Why in the world, did that guy continue farming here if he knows that we are aware of him wearing a 'Dark Swamp Set'? If it were me, then I will doubt it." The Spell Caster Naga give him a sideeye glance before saying. "Do you think I'm an idi*t? Of course I know about that! But what can I do? It is an order from the upper-echelons, so focus on your job and continue searching him!" They then resume on their task. ***** Meanwhile, the man in question is busy dealing with a Snakeman. Shin is rapidly circling around the Snakeman, and while doing it, he is throwing some attacks in the process. His movements looks a little more flawless this time than he was before. It is because he become more comfortable with his body, and also because his current body can now keep up with his mind a little. Hisss.... Shin use a 'Hell Execution' killing off the Snakeman, and it is also the the final guardian. During his fight against the guardians, Shin manage to become more familiar with his new fighting style, which is also the reason why he improved drastically. The only downside on it, is that he didn't get any EXP in the process or even some item drops. And when the final guardian transformed into particles of crimson lights, the hoarse voice that came from the statue at the center of the altar and pentagram started to resonated once again. Roar!!! "You foolish descendant of 'Zheptus'! since you are really eager to die, then I will grant your wish. I will make sure the you will regret preventing my decent on this world!!!" After that, all the crimson lights inside the altar were absorbed by the statue. Then the statue pass it towards the body of the Village Chief, causing for it to mutate. And while it is happening, Shin wants to stop the process but some sort of energy prevent him from moving. So all he can do is watch it happen while using his 'Scouting' skill. ------ Monster Name: Spiritual Avatar of 'Khaki' (Lord, Weakened State) Rating: Avatar Demon Level: 75 HP: 2 500 000 Attack Power: 7 500 - 8 200 Physical Defense: 5 700 Magic Resist: 5 700 Skills: ????? ------- "Hmmm.... It have a high Attack Power but the Defense is still manageable. The only problem should be its other stats, since Level 75 is a major turning point in this game. Another one are the surprise factor of those unknown skills." Shin is getting ready himself as he take a look the details of his new opponent. After few seconds of waiting, the mutation process were finally done. The previous Village Chief become a mini-version of the statue, aside from the wings, since this one don't have any. The Avatar Demon look at Shin before sneering at him. "Heh, You should brace yourself now descendant of 'Zheptus'. For you will regret getting on my way." "A talking monster? This one should have a High AI if that is the case, well is talking from the start after all. And I guess this one is going to become bloody fight." Shin is knitting his brows while sheathing his sword. He then take his battle stance, bracing himself for what's about to happen. Shin is looking at the Avatar Demon when he felt a dangerous feeling coming from behind. Then his pupils contracted when he see that the figure he is looking at is starting to fade away. "An afterimage! Sh*t!" He hurriedly lean his body forward while moving the sword sheath backwards and in an upward motion, trying to block something. Bang! -10 800 Shin is manage to block the attack, but he is still received some damage because he failed to respond on it correctly, and it caused him to lose 1/6 of his HP. He is also sent flying by that attack. "This thing manage to bypassed my Perception Range? Tsk, If not for my 'Immediate Response', I'll received a more terrifying damage from that attack." muttered Shin to himself while looking at the Avatar Demon cautiously. The Avatar Demon didn't give Shin more breathing time, and its figure blurred once again. But this time, Shin is already on his guard. Swoosh! Bang! Shin crouches down barely dodging a kick from his back. And when he felt a gusting air pass through over his head, he did a hop-step backwards, avoiding an Axe-kick coming from above. And when his feet touches the ground, he immediately jump forward while throwing a roundhouse kick towards the Avatar Demon that suddenly materialize on his front. 'Equipment Skill: Paralysis Bite' Pa! Shin's kick successfully landed on the Avatar Demon, immobilizing it for five seconds.

'Self-Created Skill: Moonlight Splitter' -50 999 (Critical!!!) And because of all of that cycle, Shin runs out of offensive skills. But some of them are about to be cooldowned. Then, Shin planned to fight the Avatar Demon with his basic attacks for the time being, while also waiting for some of his skills to become available. But before that truly happened, Shin wake up from his future plans and have been brought back to the reality by the Avatar Demon. The Avatar Demon dashes towards Shin with an even more terrifying speed, and together with a powerful punch in tow. Swoosh! Miss!!! Shin is force to use his 'Moonlight Steps' to dodge that sudden attack. He pass through the Avatar Demon's body before dashing forward to gain some breathing space. But moment he turn his head around to take a look at Avatar Demon, he is greeted by an incoming fist straight to his face. Bang!!! -20 489 Swoosh! Shin manage block that fist by raising his hand in front of his face while holding the sword-sheath in a reverse handgrip manner. But even though it is the case, he is still send flying backwards and receive a damage that ripped off a third of his total HP. And while Shin is in midair, the Avatar Demon also jumped in the air before descending towards Shin's direction while throwing a hammer fist in the process. Shin force his body to flipped in the air before forcing himself to land on the ground. Tsss... Tsss... Shin slide backwards the moment his feet touches the ground. And during that slide, he formed a purple sphere around him using the combined powers of The Sun and The Moon. 'Slayer Skill: Eclipse Pulse' Boom!!! The barrier around Shin trembled violently because of the impact, but nothing else happened after that. Meanwhile, Shin seize that opportunity to drink some 'Health Potion' to recover some of his HP. Huuu~... Shin took a quick deep breath while muttering to himself regarding the lesson that he just learned. "So I still lacking a lot of offensive skills. I guess I need to learn a lot more of it when I return back to the City. Or maybe I should find some time to create some of them." Then the fierce battle resumes. And that entire fight last for at least 15 minute. It looks a little short, but not that long either. And that span of time become a bloody one for Shin. Because he almost died many times during the process, but he still manage to find some unimaginable ways to survived until the end. Huff... Huff... Shin is catching his breath while looking at the Avatar Demon that is laying down beside his feet. He is also pointing his sword towards it. The Avatar Demon still has some breath left, so it look at Shin before mockingly say. "I didn't expect that the current descendants of the Heroes of that time manage to become this strong. But if you think that all of you can prevent us from coming back on this world, then all of you are truly mistaken. Hahaha...." "Tsk, you are talking too much for someone who is about to be send to where you belong." Shin finally can't take the blabbering and swing his sword down, ripping off the last straw of life of that Avatar Demon. Then a golden light enfolded Shin, signifying that he Leveled Up, and that is not only one but 5 consecutive level ups. Then a system notification ring on his ears, informing him that he have successfully cleared his quest. *Ding!* System: Congratulations! You have successfully Completed the Corrupted Cult Quest.

"Now, I can have my own goldmine if I use this Village advantages more properly. Hmm.. And I also need to promote this Village to other players for it to become popular." Shin is thinking on what he will do next, when a sudden thought enters his mind. "Wait! Popular? Promote? Didn't those people from the subordinate guilds of the 'HeadHunter Guild' are looking for me in the vicinity of the 'Dark Swamp Map'. Heh... " He then formed a mysterious grin with his lips, as if his simple idea suddenly turned into a well thought plan. And while he is thinking about all of that, the 10-meter statue at the center of the altar started to formed cracks on its surface before crumbling down completely. Shin's attention is attracted to it because of the sound. Then his eyes become absorb at shining items at the bottom of the crumbling statue, which also make his eyes to become wide and almost fall down from its sockets.
