Starting with the goblin extermination

The jackal leader's eyes widened suddenly, and a roar came from his throat.

"A person...? Kill him!"

Before he finished speaking, it swung its battle axe and lunged at Logan.

The jackals on the side seemed to wake from a dream, and at the same time let out a howl, charging forward while frantically grabbing at the weapons around them.

A burst of red light erupted from the soles of Logan's feet, and he shot forward like an arrow.

First, deal with the two nearest gnolls.

[Wolf Attack]!

Before the two gnolls could fully raise their battle axes above their heads, Logan's longsword swept out with a whoosh.

puff!

The first gnoll's neck was severed cleanly, its head flying into the air, blood gushing out and splattering half of Logan's body.

The second gnoll reacted slightly faster, slashing down fiercely. Logan touched the ground with his toes, shifted his body slightly to the side, and the axe blade swept past him, catching a few strands of severed blond hair.

The next second, the longsword pierced out like a venomous snake striking.

[Thrust]

The sword tip easily pierced through the tattered leather armor, effortlessly penetrating the chest and tearing the heart in two.

The gnoll let out a short, mournful howl and collapsed.

[Proficiency +1]

Thrust LV3 (97/100)

Quintas's heart was pounding.

He couldn't believe his eyes. This northern barbarian, whom he had looked down upon in the past, had actually taken down four gnolls in the blink of an eye!

But before he could even catch his breath, danger struck again.

Logan quickly turned to face the new enemy charging at him.

Three iron spears, accompanied by the war cry of the gnoll leader, attacked Logan simultaneously from different angles.

"Die...die!! Human!!"

The gnoll leader roared wildly in a mumbled, unintelligible common language.

"careful!!"

Quintas felt a chill run through his body and couldn't help but scream.

A sharp iron spear came piercing down, and in Quintus's eyes, Logan had no way to avoid it this time, and the hope that had just been ignited was about to be extinguished again.

However, the next second, Quintas was completely stunned.

Logan suddenly lowered his body, almost parallel to the ground, and pushed off the ground with both legs, causing red light to burst forth again beneath his feet.

[Wolf Attack]!

In such a confined space, he forcefully drew a strange arc, like a slippery venomous snake, and squeezed through the mesh of three iron spears.

boom!

An iron spear grazed his left shoulder, making a grating metallic scraping sound.

Sparks flew everywhere.

Several deep cracks were torn into the sturdy ring armor, and several iron rings broke off on the spot, but he didn't even sway, remaining as steady as a rock, and continued to charge forward.

The moment he broke through the blockade, Logan was already facing the tallest gnoll leader head-on.

"die!!!"

The battle axe slammed down with terrifying wind pressure.

Logan swung his longsword upwards, drawing a perfect arc.

[Parry]

clang--!!

A deafening clang of metal clashing rang out, accompanied by a powerful recoil.

The jackal chieftain felt a sharp pain in his hand, and his battle axe was knocked out of his grasp and fell to the ground.

"die."

Taking advantage of the opponent's wide-open defense, Logan instantly focused all his muscles into a single point, channeling his power into the tip of his sword.

[Thrust]

The longsword transformed into a dazzling silver-white streak, instantly piercing through the jackal leader's thick neck!

The sword tip emerged from behind, bringing with it a long, bloody section of the blade.

Logan, expressionless, kicked the corpse hard in the chest. The corpse flew backward, crashing into another gnoll that pounced on it from behind, and crashed into the burning fire.

Quintas sat on the ground, his mind blank.

In just a few breaths, five gnolls had been completely torn apart, including the strongest gnoll leader.

In the past, he had actually looked down on the other person because of his blond hair and background... Thinking of this, Quintus felt a burning pain in his cheeks.

He really wanted to slap his past self.

It's ridiculous.

Logan took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, gripped his longsword tightly in his hand, and remained calm, as if he had just warmed up.

The remaining four gnolls were completely panicked. They looked at each other, their tails tucked tightly between their legs. Although they still held their weapons, their eyes were filled with terror and despair, and they had lost all will to fight.

Just then, a short and piercing scream suddenly came from above the boulder.

A gnoll archer who was trying to fire a stray arrow fell heavily from a height, with a bloody hole in the back of his neck.

Before the remaining gnolls could react, a swift black shadow had already silently landed behind one of them.

Backstab

Elsa's dagger pierced the opponent's spine without any resistance.

The jackal let out a miserable cry, his body stiffened abruptly, and the iron spear in his hand clattered to the ground.

The five gnolls on the perimeter have all been dealt with.

The remaining three gnolls finally broke down. They let out terrified screams and turned to flee into the depths of the forest.

Want to escape?

A red light erupted beneath Logan's feet once more, and a silver sword flashed continuously through the forest, each flash accompanied by the sound of blood splattering.

[Proficiency +1]

[Proficiency +1]

The body fell to the ground.

The battle is completely over.

The entire camp fell silent again, with only the crackling of the fire and the faint sound of blood slowly flowing onto the soil.

Logan stood ramrod straight, gripping his still-dripping longsword.

The last rays of the setting sun filtered through the treetops, casting their light on his blood-stained blond hair and cold, stern profile. He remained motionless.

Before Logan's eyes, a series of transparent words were jumping wildly:

[Thrust] LV3 → [Thrust] LV4 (MAX)

The [Thrust] combat skill has reached the Proficiency level.

[A Qualitative Leap in Combat Skills]

[Qualitative Change Direction: Blood Hunter]

【Thrust - Blood Hunter】 has been unlocked.

- "Penetrating": This combat skill's penetration power is increased by an additional 20% (can stack with [Wind Piercer]).

......

A continuous flow of heat coursed through his body from his heart, and Logan felt his ingrained skills undergoing a transformation.

He could no longer feel the weight of the longsword; the heat flowed from his fingers and coiled around the blade, forming an invisible spiral.

Is this what a master-level combat skill looks like?

Logan let out a long sigh of relief, his body brimming with strength.

He felt genuine joy.

But soon, the joy was replaced by an eerie silence.

Time and space froze at this moment.

He heard endless, melodious wolf howls.

Images flashed before my eyes: shadowy human figures waving their arms in the flames, being devoured by terrifying giant wolves... Blood stained the earth, and ancient stone pillars collapsed in the storm.

He came to another world.

That is the kingdom of God.

.......

In the distance, Kosca was leaning against a tree trunk, tilting his head back and taking a big gulp of strong liquor.

In his eyes, a beam of light, alternating between red and black, suddenly rose from the direction of the Guardian Stone, reaching straight into the sky.

At the center of the beam of light was Logan, who remained motionless.

Koska squinted.

He recalled the scene he had seen in his dream.

Arando turned the tide when the capital fell, and the dark gods showered him with blessings, witnessing his glory.

He is standing right in front of me now.

How similar.

I witnessed history once again.
