Chapter 153 Figuring It All Out

'A tiger at the Peak Stage of the Plane of Ascension? Interesting, really. But not impressive either,' Ryuk thought to himself, taking his gaze away from the tiger and looking into the distance.

Exactly 60 meters away from here, I can sense a creature with a more powerful aura. A creature at the Early Stage of the Plane of Dominion. Explore stories on My Virtual Library Empire

ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAARRRR!

The tiger's roar brought Ryuk back as he slowly turned his eyes to it, finding a gigantic maw appearing above his head, snapping at Ryuk's figure.

If it drew close, Ryuk's entire upper body would be bitten to nothing, but instead of dodging, Ryuk jumped directly and fully entered the tiger's mouth, which instantly shut close.

But then...

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!

Three lines appeared all over the tiger's head and face, two crossing diagonally, and another slicing down from the tiger's forehead straight to its neck.

With horror and confusion, the tiger landed back onto the ground, only to collapse onto its side as its head opened up, revealing the figure of Ryuk.

The scythe Nanobots slowly disappeared back into his arm.

Even when Ryuk was at the Origin Plane, he could already battle Peak Stage Fallen geniuses.

Now that he was at the Core of the Peak Stage, his strength wasn't something a barbaric tiger at the Peak of the Ascension Plane could hope to last a second against.

"The one who wins isn't the one who can run the most, or who is the fastest."

"It is the strongest! The one who can kill these beasts the fastest and preserve enough Mana to kill them. Something made difficult by the Mana-depleting rain."

"The test isn't the forest itself; it's the obstacles in the formation. And right now, it's just two."

"My hypothesis: once the beast obstacle is gotten rid of, I assume this formation will crack into nothing, and I will suddenly appear at the feet of the Gate of the Ascension Academy..."

"I can already see some idiotic winged geniuses thinking of outflying the beasts, but the forest will never end, and they'll just exhaust their Mana. Tsk, tsk, how clever..." Ryuk mused to himself as he slowly cracked his bones, feeling the ground rumbling as the closest beast began moving forward toward him.

"Since no genius is watching, I can go all out. But still, I don't know if all of the Ascension Academy instructors are also viewing this, so I can't go too all out and draw unnecessary suspicion either..." Ryuk mused as he turned his head to the sky, seeing nothing but the endless blue expanse, which he knew was nothing more than fake.

"But then, I plan to be among the top 30 geniuses in the hierarchy, since the Fallen family is one of the strongest families and they will expect their genius to be so. That range is just perfect," Ryuk stated as his scythe instantly found its way into his hands.

While it would be better to use his Ice ability, with the rain depleting Mana with every droplet, the power of his Ice manipulation would also keep depleting, reducing the power of his attacks and making him just like the ordinary geniuses.

But with his scythe, all he needs is endurance, which wasn't draining away with the rain, and that enabled Ryuk to gain an advantage which he plans to make good use of.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The entire ground shook as a gigantic figure appeared above Ryuk, its shadow completely covering him.

Instantly, a spray of acid spilled out like rain toward Ryuk, who smashed his leg into the ground. A gigantic pothole appeared beneath his feet, and he shot upward toward the incoming rain of acid, his scythe cleaving outward and blasting a hole through, and he appeared before the slitted eyes.

"I accept the challenge..."
