"Ethan, where are you heading?"
"There are things I gotta take care of. I came to this pool to relax." Elms headpats her while looking away "stay. Have fun."
Before I leave.... I'm commanding 10 of you soldiers onto Asia. You should be considered similarly to Loup's level, correct? That should be enough, keep Asia safe ~(Ethan)
Elms stuck 10 shadow soldiers to Asia. She's a devil yet has a hard time sensing there are creatures inside her Shadow.
Skill: Sprint (Lv. 2)
Active skill
His agility stat alone is enough to disappear in a blink of an eye, but at his disposal, sprint was the better option to get farther away from the place. Day of rest became a day of struggles. What will he do now? The tower awaits.
You have entered a dungeon
The difficult will now increase dramatically. I haven't gained new artifacts nor am I ready. But I have an army. That's enough ~(Ethan)
"Hmmm.... has anyone found the answer as to why is HE floating?" To a new addition, Ethan questioned a Shadow soldier just floating casually "you never displayed this kind of skill when I was fighting you, not to mention you tore my arm off. Oof. Having no arm feels uncomfortable when you're used to having both."
It bowed as an act of apology for its behavior before serving its king, Ethan Elms. The descendant of the great one, it looked at itself to be considered the strongest descendant known in the universe, bringing its reckoning on every surface and gods. Descendant of the great one dealt blows harmful enough to greatly injure Zeus, Odin, strongest evil dragon in existence, Sirzech, and previous wielders of Welsh and vanishing dragons. Heck, almost everyone in their entire mythologies had teamed up to take it down...and then comes Ethan Elms. Lone star of his story, stealing everyone's hard work on slaying it. Now the descendant is serving under him, and pledges to do so for the safety of his sake. No matter who the opponent may be, it will protect the king from harms way. Because that's the rule of a loyal follower should do.
"Anyway, ignoring all points of you showing off new skills; would you like a name?" Elms spend a little while on selecting a name since it's rank is now Knight "gotta say: you've became smaller now than you were before. Raynare.....yeah....you're both similar in terms of height, sorry bud.... Got it! Yajuu! You're a beast, so I thought Yajuu would be best for you."
Yajuu happily shows off on how happy he is by jumping, and strangely licking his king as his saliva covered Ethan.
"Blegh! Slow down! Shit, now I gotta change wardrobes." Ethan purchases a new set of clothes which it being a white winter jacket, a black uniform to give extra warmth, and some boots long enough to reach his Shin "flexible in this outfit. Axe kick can be performed very well..... stretchable..... comfy...... and can pull many punches. Good. Yajuu, Njal, Raynare... see that army ahead? Take care of it."
The 3 soldiers rushed towards the army of magic beasts, having their weapons ready to be soaked in blood of their enemies, hopefully ripping them into pieces that even in death their eyes remain open. Hanging back, Ethan sends in the cavalry.
Let's try to reach floor 75. The journey may be long but it'll be worth it ~(Ethan)
Kid, every recall of the Khaos brigade? ~(Ian)
No. Don't wanna. They don't concern me. They do whatever they want as long as it doesn't involve me or the humans ~(Ethan)
Aye, fair enough ~(Elle)
Now it brings to my attention, haven't I recieved a new Class-specific skill? Collapse, was it? ~(Ethan)
Correct! Master, that is one of the skills our old master had. It's believed he has blessed you with his power in the afterlife. You'll soon see more down the line, so be amazed what skill he had to send fear onto many beings ~(Elle)
Story time! Have we ever told you the excruciating story of the Welsh and Vanishing dragon duking it out? ~(Ian)
Mhm! Seemed like yesterday you told me that ~(Ethan)
And you know how no one pledge to stop them both? Well... don't mean to brag and all, but we were the ones who sliced them up to pieces, not themselves. Our master found them annoying to cause havoc anywhere they go. They angered him by using the human's world as a battlefield. Their ignorance led to them searching for host to continue the annoying prophecy. But... wanna know a great secret that even THEY forgot? ~(Ian)
Tell me ~(Ethan)
Our old master was the first wielder for the Welsh and Vanishing dragon. Crazy, huh? Not only did their battle temporarily ended, it also led to them working together ~(Ian)
Really? Ooohhhhh, interesting. Tell me more. You're old master suites the idea of being the first red and white dragon wielder ~(Ethan)
Then on, our master mastered the transformation in less than a minute, combining both dragons into one armor. The color was unique to say the least: white and red, arms being red along with the chassis, and head. Descending down to the legs were changing the color aspect from orange on some areas of the body to full on white, our wings and eyes becoming cyan after the mixture of green and blue. We had 2 tails, each being it's own color ~(Ian)
Can I ask what was the Welsh's dragon signature ability that no one dared to challenge? tell me about its power. What does the user gain from it? ~(Ethan)
One of the powers he developed during his rivalry with Albion. Ddraig is known for his ability to multiply his own powers and transfer that multiplied power into another being or object. You can tell how powerful our old master became after knowing its potential. This specific power is similar to ours except we cannot transfer it to another. We even faced against Great red who's rumored to be the dragon of dragons, yet has fallen from grace. We spared him because our master senses we reached far enough...and he doesn't wish to become a psychopath ~(Elle)
Albion has a specific ability to halve someone's power, correct? ~(Ethan)
Correct! So you were paying attention ~(Ian)
Well. Duh. If I wanna face off against Vali, I gotta know my enemy's style. Won't Longevity repel that debuff? ~(Ethan)
It will! But considering how low that skill is, the chances are is 33.333333333333%. If you're somehow lucky for that to activate, we'll have the upper hand ~(Elle)
There's also something I wanna know. Can you tell me who you faced during the great war? ~(Ethan)
Sure ~(Ian)
Ophis, dragon of dragons, Zeus, Odin, Ares, Thor, Loki, God, Albion and Ddraig, Fafnir, jörmungandr, Monkey king, an army of fallen angels, seraphims, Metatron, Kokabiel, Azazel, Shadow Monarch, Fox King, And uh....forgot the rest. But do know we did go up against them. 99% we won and that 1% is a loss. You already know because we told you ~(Elle)
Did any of them held a grudge? ~(Ethan)
That is adorable ~(Ian)
During these last few days, Ethan manages to reach floor 55 and his level has gone up by 2 while his swords went up by 3. It's becoming gradually harder to get more XP thanks to this whole sharing that's bullshit. If Ethan wants to gain more strength now, he'll have to drop his swords and use different weapons. That way he'll be able to receive an enemies full XP. It's painful to do so but not to worry, stat points can still be applied to bring up more attack power.
Understandable, to progress even further, you must make sacrifices ~(Elle)
Don't lose your way of the sword! ~(Ian)
Hearing about this, Ethan purchases a long sword that deals 200 attack and unleashes continuous strikes of lightning bolt onto an area wherever Ethan throws. Now that he's reminded, throwing Elle or Ian seemed to do considerable damage towards an E-Rank boss.
I'm counting on you, Ian! ~(Ethan)
Huh? For what? ~(Ian)
"Don't worry! I used to have a good arm back in the day!" At a good distance, Ethan cocked his arm back into a throwing position. He tightened his grip on the sword, and the muscles of his arm expanded. Thick veins appeared all the way to the back of his hand. All of his strength was focused on his right arm
"W-wait! Don't tell you what I think you're abo - AAAAAAAAAAH HEEELLLLLPPPPP!!!" Then, the arm that was drawn back like a bowstring shot forward at the speed of sound before impaling an Elite enemy straight into the heart "DAMN YOU! SHITTY MASTER!!"
"Sorry." Ethan couldn't help but smirk as he picked up Ian while running
"You're laughing?!"
"In the inventory you go!" Ethan resumed into hunting magic beasts along with his Shadow army, following their pace including Yajuu's who is faster than the rest
With the Ancient axe of Khopesh, it's structures are weirdly made into a weapon as it can be in 3 stages. First being a sacrificial strikes that the blade's hilt must be attached to the axe and grab it by the blade, Ethan loses health on every swing but his blood transformed into spiky weapons if it were to land on an enemy, plus it can regen health if the blade itself makes contact. Second being a longer range of a weapon, swinging each time lets out an arcane bolt dealing damages - extra damages if Ethan were to miss. May I also add that with the second activated, Elms can produce quick attacks in a short session. The third being it's normal stage: just a khopesh attached to the axe, nothing special. He quickly grew fond on the second stage, for reason being is showing off his spear skills. He also threw his weapon a couple more times and recalled it back using Dominator's Touch which is proven to be very useful and fun to make life more easier. During his battles with different floors, Ethan grasped into the environment, inspecting his surroundings and using it as an advantage. The magic beasts quickly soon realize they can't win against a monster, this one in particular. With the use of a long sword in one hand and the other being a spear/axe, his combination of weaponry is outstanding that it could match a skillful devil specializes in weapons of any uses. Along with staggering or demolishing his enemies with 'Collapse' skill. What's useful about 'Collapse' is it's range and power behind the arm can be risen with the help of Strength and Intelligence, but looking at sense and vitality stats....its lacking very much against the others who are past 120. Upon arrival on floor 75, another boss presented itself with a few lackeys behind him, showing how powerful it is.
Ice Ancient
A golem made of ice with it's own heart being protected by a couple layers of rocks. What would happen if he ripped that out?
"Fufu..." Ethan pounds both fist "let's kill this cold-hearted monster."
Ethan swiftly avoided the attacks of the ancient with Sprint, used a few muay thai moves that was learned from Ian and Elle. The ancient is also tough. It blocked his attack with its forearms, before counterattacking.
Kid, school starts in 10 hours. You gotta hurry up before bitching about not getting enough sleep ~(Ian)
Next day
With the addition of gaining the Ancients heart, it's proven to be a good crafting material towards the sword. Ethan staggered the enemy before ripping its heart out.
If I add the heart of the ancient, you'll receive cold attributes? ~(Ethan)
"Yes. So, what are you waiting for? Craft the rune."
Would you like to craft rune?
Yes ~(Ethan)
Crafting....
Crafting....
Now that's out of the way, Ethan obtained a new armor. It was the Holy-light gauntlet that increases 20 strength and 20 intelligence.
Intelligence: 133
Strength: 150
"Ethan, ready for a fun day?" Rias brightens her smile
"Will it involve you and Asia wearing nothing but an apron to please Issei? No. I'm good. Just make me a sandwich, bitch...." a few moments of silent, Ethan and Rias laughed and played it off as it's nothing "I'm kidding. But seriously, why just an apron? And why does mom approve of it?!"
"Oh, stop worrying. It's Issei's first time gaining 2 beautiful girls in his life, so I'll make the wish of him doing whatever they want with him." Issei's mom puts up a thumb "Rias, take good care of him!"
"Yes, ma'am." She cheered
"Ethan, have anyone that I give my permission to do whatever with you?" Miki pays close attention
"....2 in fact...." Elms' cheeks became reddish
"Ohoho~! Just 3 weeks and Ethan's already got some ladies chasing after him." Miki nudges playfully at his side "my boys are becoming men now. 'Tis a good year to be alive."
"May I ask who they are? Just so I can give permission as well." Rias' big sister persona activated "I want Ethan to live happily with them! I need details of who exactly they are and if they can truly make you happy!"
"Alyssa....and....Tsubaki..."
Is she mad? .... she looks confused but I sense frustration.... now it's acceptance. Wait.... why was she frustrated about mentioning those two? ~(Ethan)
".....I have several questions."
Considering how Ethan changed these last few of months, it's possible for him to be chased. Oh Ethan, look at how far you come. I bet the old you would admire your current state ~(Rias)
Yeah...she could see the old version of Ethan having fun with the current Ethan. Visioning the old boy dangling from his future self bicep. At the entrance of Kuoh Academy, an unexpected guess stood by looking cool an such. Issei's left hand starting acting up again, probably from the pool day.
"You're so vul-" before Vali's finger could reach Issei, Ethan stepped in "hm? Ah, Ethan Elms."
"Hey, you remember me!"
Shit. He's more stronger than the last time we met....there's no doubt about it. He's about to match me ~(Vali)
Oi, Vali. The boy...careful about him ~(Albion)
You think? How did he reach this far in just a few of months? It took me years to get this strong ~(Vali)
"I had a gut feeling we would've meet again soon. But on a day like this is outstanding."
"I wanted to say the same thing to you but since you're history involving with terrorist, I take it back dearly. Do you plan on invading the Academy with your army?"
"How did you know?"
"A little birdie told me that taking over Kuoh Academy was a hotspot to call out the Satan's, might wanna target somewhere else besides Japan. Like, seriously...could've done America, U.K, Mexico, Canada, Russia, China, Thailand, France, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, South America, etcetera. But Japan? What do you gain from here?"
".... foreigners love Japan, so why not join them?"
"I guess."
"You here to step between the humans and devils?"
"I could say the same to you." Ethan responded with his eyes glowing Cyanic
"Yes, that's it! Come on, Ethan Elms. Fight me!" Vali replied with his eyes glowing blue
Just before a clash with both Human and Devil, Rias stepped in. She believes Vali is cooperating with the Fallen angels, so picking a fight with Vali would mean a total out war with them. But that won't be enough to stop Ethan himself. They're fallen Angels. Not Ancients, Descendant of the great one, D-Rank boss, Stonebearded King, Cerberus, or Loup. Beside, how big of an army is there? Thought that most of them perished during the great war, unless...there are devils working with them? No. No need for assumptions such as that.
"Ethan Elms. I consider you, as my rival. You don't wield the Welsh Dragon nor mine, but I sense great purpose. Maybe one day you live up to my expectations on taking greater risk for your gains." Vali pats him on the shoulder "tell me. What's your little secret on getting this strong?"
".... let's say I'm a Hunter that grows stronger from each fight."
"A babble mouth may be useless, but having a lot of secrets may not be great either."
Just like that, Vali left everyone alone. It's weird how the white emperor just randomly shows up to declare Ethan as his true rival when it's originally supposed to be Issei, but thanks to this, this brought down his self-esteem on working harder each day to become the Strongest Dragon Emperor. How will be get stronger to face someone like Vali? Easy. Have Ethan become his teacher. He'll probably say yes. But it'll mostly be a no.
"Ethan...!"
"Yee...?"
"Will you aid me to become stronger than Vali!?"
".....uhhhhhh......"
Psstt! Can the system be shared with him? ~(Ethan)
No ~(Ian & Elle)
Any reason? ~(Ethan)
Because this won't be Solo Leveling if this perverted piece of shit joins in. He'll probably rat us out and many power hungry foes will want the same treatment ~(Ian)
Fair ~(Ethan)
"I can do a different method of training."
"Really?! Yes! So what are we doing?"
"...I'm gonna kick your ass." Ethan replies
".....motherfuc-"
Later
A ruckus was being cause by a beautiful girl; looking in her late teens with black hair, tied into twin tails and pink eyes. She also has a child-like body (albeit with large breasts), wearing a pink magical girl outfit, and standing around 160 cm. Ethan sighed as he face-palmed to see many males including himself were at the gym, taking pictures. The only reason being is to sell it to many perverted men and women out there in the world for a good price so they can jack off and get it dirty in their own way.
But I'll do admit, she's cute. Do I wanna date her? Possibly. Will it be now? On the fence ~(Ethan)
Huh. Surprised to see a Leviathan here in person. Master, she's one of the Satan's. Be careful when treading on thin ice around her ~(Elle)
Have you met her? ~(Ethan)
No. We watched from that prison where you found us ~(Elle)
"I didn't know you were in the photography club." Said Rias
"I
