They begun to enter the boss chamber.

FWOOSH

Strong wind came from the boss chamber and suddenly dark red energy slash coming towards them.

"Everyone! Get down!" Red rose quickly notice the energy slash and warned the hunters.

SWOOSH

The hunters duck but some began to use defensive spells but It' snot enough, the energy slash pierce their defense and kill the hunters. The dark red energy slash creates an explosion behind them, the hunters have a cold sweat see the destructive capabilities of the energy slash except for raven, red rose and robert.

"So... you've finally made it this far."

Malicious voice was heard through the room. "I was hoping... I wouldn't stain my blade with blood again..."

The is a knight sitting on a throne, he wears black armor, gold linings from all the way on his armor and red patern. He has dark red eyes and held a huge broad sword with the same color and patern as his armor.

Commander of the Liberty tower, Armand.

"Who shall be my adversary?" He begin to look at the hunters one by one, he didn't found anyone strong until his eyes landed on raven. 'Interesting, seems I found a strong opponent.'

He started to remember about all the hunters that have come to challenge him from A-S ranks but in the end all of them failed but now there is other hunters who wants to challenge him.

"How interesting... There's a strong one among you." Armand said looking at raven, ashmond see the boss monster is looking at raven shows that the boss monster is intrigued by raven.

Ashmond became angry and jealous because he is not recognized by the boss monster even he have necromencer class. 'Hmph! Let's see If you can still ignore me once I show you my true strength.' Ashmond thought, he swore he will kill the boss and make him regret not recognizing his strength.

"Allow me..." he raise his sword. "To thin the heard!" He begin to attack with the same dark red energy slash but much faster and stronger.

The hunters who didn't have time to defend themselves got hit by armand's attack killing them but some fo them able to protect themselves and survive.

"Leader! At this rate...!" Andre using his shield and sweat looking at red rose.

"Yes, I know." Red rose use her daggers making a cross to defend.

Armand feel the presence of a hunter above him, he look up to see raven with his flaming sword aim to kill him. Armand leap back avoid his attack making raven's attack damaging the floor where armand stand before.

Raven quickly ran to armand with his flaming sword, armand see this also ready his sword beagn to swing it at raven, their swords make contact with each other creating sparks.

CLANG

CLANG

CLANG

The sound of swords clashing with each other can be heard through out the chamber, armand and raven are swinging their sword at each other with speed that can't be seen by naked eye or normal people.

The hunters are awe at the performance of those two, all the hunters bewow S-rank can't see the any movements raven make and armand is handling raven with such precision.

Andre gulp in disbelief. 'Is this how an S-ranker fight?' He couldn't believe he see an S-rank hunter fight against boss monster up close, although he already see S-rankers and above fight but that's on the internet not real life. Now he see how truly an S-rank fight feels different from what he see on the internet.

Ashmond grip his sword tightly and tremble. 'That level of power... I must reach and have that power.' He looks very determined when he see raven's absolute power, he became more determined to reach that level with the help of his system.

'Remarkable, as expected of a man who is hailed as one of the genius hunters and rising star, raven!' Red rose smile and thought of raven, she knows about raven's history and power, many hunters tried to recruit raven into their guild even the hunter association but raven rejected all of them.

At the age of 15 he is already good at sword and magic, he got into one of the top hunter academy called exodius academy and passed the exam. Raven showed his sword and magic talent to the teacher, they are amaze at his abilities, many teachers want to take raven as their personal student but raven refused even the principal's offer he rejected.

He also gain many rivals from famous hunter families, but many of them got beaten by raven. He didn't have any teacher until The world hunter competition being held, this competition gather many student hunters from the academies all over planet earth.

The purpose of this competition is to make students of each academy fight with other students from other academy to show the world their strength and representing their hunter academy.

The competition is very fierce many young hunters will give everything they got because they want to get recognized by a guild or a hunter.

If you are lucky a guild will recruit you or a hunter with high rank will take you as your student. Raven got lucky to be recruited by an SSS rank hunter, that is why raven is so strong and become an S-rank at young age.

He beat several A-rankers and he is proficinecy at magic especially fire magic. He graduate from the one of the top hunter academy called exodius academy, he already raid many A-rank dungeons and tower also several S-rank dungeons and towers.

Raven is an orphan who grew up alone because his parents got killed when he was 10 because of The Gate Break, he train and study to achieving his goal that is to become strong. He became a swordmaster at the age of 19 getting attention of many hunters, the world make him a rising star and one of the young hunters who have become a swordmaster at young age.

Raven and armand still attack and parry each other attacks not a single attack have landed on each other, they move around the chamber while still swinging their sword.

Raven swing his sword faster and stringer but armand slowly can't keep up with raven, he see an opening make land a blow to armand's armor but not enough to kill him.

"How dare you?!" Armand see he is hurt makes him mad.

He make many dark red slashes and raven counter making white slashes, their attack make contact with each other creating an explosion. The hunters tried to keep standing and not getting blown away by the strong wind created by the explosion.

Smoke began to cover armand and raven, the hunters are nervous to see if raven is alright. The smoke began to disappear revealing armand and raven both got minor injuries and cuts on them.

"Ugh! You will pa–!" Suddenly armand feel hurt on his chest, he look below to see a sword is pierce through him. "Wh-What?!" He look behind him to see a hunter stab him in the back turns out it was ashmond.

"Damn you mortal." Armand swing his sword to ashmond but he quickly pull put his sword and jumped back away avoiding the attack.

Ashmond ready his sword and undead to fight armand, armand began to run to ashmond. "My loyal soldiers, attack." Ashmomd command the undead to attack armand, they begin to run at armand and undead magicians began to cast spells.

Armand didn't get bother by them, he quickly swing his sword killing the undead monsters and hunters who are coming to kill him, many of the undeads are attacking to damage armand but armand is too strong for them.

Armand keep killing the upcoming undeads who are to kill him and advancing towards ashmond, the undead mages keep attacking with their spells at armand but armand just shove off all those spell attacks.

Ashmond who see the boss monster started approaching him become nervous. 'Shit, all of my undead are useless against him.' He see all of the monsters and hunter undeads are killed one by one by the boss monsters. 'And to top of it, all my undead mages attacks are not work at him either.' His undead mages are keep attacking armand but he just brush all those attacks like it was nothing.

Armand was going to run to ashmond but suddenly he feels danger from above. He look up to see many swords made out of light and fire, he turn around to see raven stretch out his hand to the sky where ths flting swords are.

"So you are the one who create all those?" Raven didn't asnwer him. "I soppose that silent was considered as yes."

Armand quickly move to raven but raven quickly drop his hand making all the swords fly down, armand look above use his sword to covering himself from the attack. The swords amkes contact with armand creating smokes began to covering armand making him can't see his sorrounding but he kept his guard ready for sneak attack.

Armand sense an attack coming from behind immedeatly block it, he success block the attack but suddenly another attack come from his left, he brushed of the sowrd he blocked and blocked the other incoming sword.

He sense another attack again from the front, armand is made and began to spread his senses to block the incoming attacks from all over directions. He parry all the attacks but suddenly he feels a huge amount of power suddenly stab him from behind, he look down to see a sword pierce through his armor.

He look back to see the person who is responsible for this, he see ashmond who is grinning at him. "Hello." Armand became made and swung his sword but ashmond quickly duck pull out his sword and step bzck away.

Armand see he is sorrounded by undead monsters and hunters, he didn't feel afraid and pointed his sword to all the undeads. "Come, all of you. Let me kill you all you souless creatures and be free."

All the undeads began to charge at armand but armand quickly fight and decapitated them all, the mages are pouring their spell attacks at armand but armand just dodge them or shield himself using his sword.

He punch, kick, slice all the undeads are coming towards him except the mages who are behind using spells. 'What the hell is this monster?' Ashmond is cold sweat and shocked to see armand fight all of his undead with no problem, he can see he didn't feel tired or slow down.

'Shit, If this keeps going all of my undead that I have collected will be gone.' Ashmond don't want to fight the boss monster after see what he can do alone but he is worried about losing most of his undead.

'Where the fuck is raven?' Ashmond shouted in his mind looking for raven to kill this boss monster but he in knowhere to be found.

Armand still keep killing all of the undead and block their attacks but suddenly a shining light coming from above, he see raven held his sword high with his sword imbued with white light.

The white light feels pure and powerful, raven began to swing down his sword to armand and the boss monster counterattack raven's attack with his sword infused with darkness. Their attacks collied with each other creating a strong shockwave and wind blowing the hunters and the undead around the chamber.

Armand is struggling against raven's attack and raven keep pushing, the ground create spider cracks from armand's position. Raven began to overpowered armand and succesfuly slice armand to death.

[Congratulations! You have defeated knight commander, Armand!]
