Solo Leveling - Monarch of the Skies

Chapter 10: Chapter 10

"Sky Tenki, an E Rank." 

"Tsk, an E Rank? Seeing your reaction speed just now, you're definitely not normal." Tae-Shik said with a confused look. 

"Then you must be an Assassin type... No that's not it either." 

"A False Ranker? No, I can see the others look a little surprised by your strength." He said with a sadistic smile. 

"There's only one answer... You've been reawakened!" Tae-Shik yelled. 

When Kim heard Tae-Shik's words, he let out a small gasp, confirming Tae-Shik's suspicions. 

"I see it must have been recently then." He said, his smile becoming even wider. 

*Clank* 

"Just stop talking." 

Our swords collided, allowing me to see Tae-Shik's sadistic smile to the fullest. 

'What is wrong with this guy?' I thought with a disgusted face, using my strength to push him back. 

*Clash* *Fwoosh* *Clank* 

"Keke, you're strong! I wonder what rank you've reawakened as..." We flickered around the room, sparks flying with each clash. 

"If Sung has been with Tenki, then should he be this strong as well?!" I could hear Kim murmuring near the entrance the middle tunnel. 

'I wanted to lower my strength so I could get some battle experience against a strong opponent, but I think this is enough.' I thought to myself while looking at the smiling Tae-Shik. 

"This is truly pitiful." I said. 

"How so?" Tae-Shik asked. 

"I originally wanted to savor this fight." 

'[Dash]' 

"[Bloodlust]" 

After activating [Dash] I backed away, allowing me to activate my other skill. 

"Kuk" Tae-Shik froze, liquids pouring out of every orifice on his body. 

*BOOM* 

I kicked off with ground breaking speeds. 

*Slash* *Cut* *Slash* 

Bouncing off the walls, the cuts on Tae-Shik's body multiplying each time I flew by him. 

*Fwoosh* 

I flickered in front of Tae-Shik, looking straight into his bloodshot eyes. 

*Kick* 

I kicked him into the wall, leaving him with only a sliver of life. 

I approached him as he just sat, soaked in his own blood. 

"What kind of monster are you? With your speed, strength and even battle movement. You could easily surpass most A Ranks." Tae-Shik complained to me, his voice laced with jealousy. 

"It's not like it matters, you wont live to understand anyway..." 

*Slice* 

[Emergency Quest: Kill the enemies] 

Completion Conditions have been met. 

Will you receive the reward? 

[Quest Rewards] 

[You may choose your rewards from below] 

Reward #1. Status Points +5 

'I didn't even realize I got this quest.' I said to myself, flicking the blood of my sword. 

"Sky!" I heard a fearful yell. 

I turned and saw a sweaty Jin-Woo followed by Mr. Song and Ju-Hee. 

"W-W-What happened here!?" Mr. Song yelled with a frightened look. 

I ignored the two and looked over at the 'dead' inmates. 

"Let's talk somewhere else." I said to the group, ushering them into the other room. 

'That guy really thought he could get away.' I thought, hearing the faint stumbling coming from the room we just left. 

"Ah, I forgot something! I'll be right back, go ahead without me." I yelled, dashing away. 

I could feel the shocked aura that was left behind me, but I just ignored it. 

*Screech* 

My feet made an ear-piercing noise when I abruptly slowed down.. 

"Oi!" I yelled, approaching one of the 'dead' prisoners. 

*Twitch* 

The body twitched, but quickly stopped moving. 

"Come on man, I know you're alive..." I said, bending down and lifting up the body by its collar. 

The prisoner turned to look at me, blood, sweat, and tears covering his face. 

"Yikes, that's not a nice sight..." 

'Maybe I'll do it the same way Jin-Woo did.' I thought to myself, inspecting the prisoners face. 

"Ah, I forgot you couldn't speak! Miss Ju-Hee would probably be able to heal you..." I said to the man, dragging him with me as I moved away from the pile of dead bodies. 

I could see the happiness appear in the mans face. 

... 

*Slice* 

I landed softly on the ground, looking at the mountain of a body before me. 

I had thrown the prisoner into the boss room and let him die, then I took care of the rest on my own. 

The blue hob goblin was surprisingly easy to kill, but I just chalked it up to me being a such a high level.

'I should probably get going...' I said to myself, twirling a round stone in between my finger. 

*Fwoosh*

A skill can be obtained by breaking the rune. 

'Now, what to do with this.' I thought, slowing down as I near the exit of the gate, I could sense a group of people waiting there. 

"Sky!" Ju-Hee yelled to me as I approached the group. 

"Mr. Kim told us what happened... how did you get so strong?" She asked me with a nervous and confused look. 

"And how did you take care of the boss so easily!" 

"And...." 

Ju-Hee had to many questions and I didn't have enough answers. 

... 

After give her vague responses like, "I just trained as hard as I could" and stuff like that, we exited the gate. 

"It's a miracle you were here today Mr. Tenki, who knows what would've happened without you." Mr. Song said, patting me on the back. 

'Ha, I know...' I chuckled. 

I made my way over to Jin-Woo and we chatted a little before we both locked eyes with a familiar face. 

"We meet again Hunter Sung, and Hunter Sky." Woo Jin-Chul said to us. 

'Man, this guy is strong. Not much behind me, and that's saying something.'
