The Ethereal Eminence

A golden aura burned like a flame around dagger.

~Shiegi

This my magic, huh. I know exactly how to test it!

Shiegi raised his dagger to the back of him as he rushed to the mantis king. The mantis king raised two of his swords and blocked his strike, while simultaneously slicing Shiegi's chest.

~Shiegi

Shit!

Shiegi flash-stepped back to Hanyma.

~Shiegi

System added 100 point to durability. It has six arms so head on attacks is impossible, what is possible then... This may be crazy but here goes nothing.

Shiegi's wounds fully recovered as he bolted toward the mantis king, but when the mantis king slashed him, he disappeared, and appeared behind it, sliced five of it's arms off and swung his blade decapitating it. (Shiegi had created a afterimage of himself, instead he was in the back of the mantis king the whole time).

~Shiegi

I should of pushed so hard. My body is on fire.

Shiegi's magic disappeared, and the burning sensation subsided, his heart rate was triple the normal speed.

~Hanyma

He did it...

The night's stars became coated in a daylight sky.

~News Reporters

Today the roamers are officially true. The Exorcist's Union is forming a party of 10 Exorcist to finally attempt what those before them have failed to do. They are aiming to clear the boss room of the Ancient Dungeon. What a feat to attemp-

The assistant takes off the TV.

~Assistant Meyu

Sir you see what I mean, This is our chance to try things differently.

~Minister Woo-saka

What do you suppose we do?

~Assistant Meyu

How about a new more difficult test to weed all the liabilities out.

~Minister Woo-saka

I would like for you to consider that these people are humans not liabilities. In any case do what ever it takes to get the best of the best.

~Assistant Meyu

Yes Minister Woo-saka. (I already have someone in mind).

~Shiegi

305, 306, 307. (The ocean dungeon is most likely going to be hell, so I have to train more than ever, and more importantly make my magic stronger).

Door bell rings*

~Shiegi

Who could that be, especially at this times of night.

Shiegi opened the door and a single light illuminated his dark apartment.

~Shiegi

What the hell how long have I been working out for.

~Assistant June

Good morning, I am interrupting something?

~Shiegi

No, what do you want?

June blushed as her laid her eyes on Shiegi well defined chest, completed with a eight pack.

~June

I was told to give you this. It's a join request.

~Shiegi

Thanks.

June turned herself and darted away, with a her face red as if she had been slapped several times.

~Shiegi

Dear Shiegi, you have been selected along with 200 others to participate for a spot in the new team of Exorcist that will be sent into the Ancient Dungeon... So they finally decided to form a new team. This is my chance to prove to dad that I achieve this goal. I will make you proud.
