Ascension: Strongest Fateless Mage

After training for one hour, Zevien decided to explore as he went out of the cave and unfurled his bat-like wings before flying for the first time.

With this vampire form, he could fly freely!

"Wow, it feels so good," Zevien exclaimed in excitement as he flew freely in the skies of this world of blood moons and dark suns.

*Screeeee….*

Suddenly, Zevien saw a Blood-Bone Eagle flying towards him at a fast speed, clearly intending to attack him.

"Grade-5 beast…," Zevien paused as he narrowed his eyes, \'my physical body is almost at the level of 5th class magician, and with this vampire form, it should have increased by a significant margin.\'

The incoming Eagle\'s talons glowed red before it opened its mouth and let out a sharp cry.

Zevien resumed his flying and continued towards the Eagle at full speed with both hands in a claw form as if intending to grab something tightly. The dark red patterns on his wings glowed as he flew like a jet towards the Eagle.

Right when the Blood-Bone Eagle and Zevien were about to clash, with the Eagle\'s claw aiming at Zevien, he controlled his wings slightly and went past the Eagle while quickly grabbing the right wing of the Eagle.

He dug his fingers in its wing with a powerful clawing grip and spun in the air using his wings before forcefully throwing the Eagle straight down to the ground using the Eagle\'s own flying momentum and force that he created by spinning.

*Booom….*

The Eagle crashed onto the ground like a rocket, and before it could get up, Zevien also arrived like a rocket with both of his legs aiming at...

*Splat!*

The Eagle\'s head burst into pieces.

A satisfied smile appeared on Zevien\'s face as he executed his moves perfectly.

The Force Flowing martial arts was all about using the force of motion, external factors, and the opponent\'s own force to attack appropriately. Naturally, this martial arts requires a very high sensory perception to dodge and make decisions quickly. But it goes well against magic beasts who usually attack head-on.

Although the physical requirement of this martial arts is not as high as others since it\'s all about using other borrowed forces, there still needs to be a specific strength against certain things. If Zevien\'s physical strength was that of an average student, he would\'ve failed to stop the Eagle\'s flying momentum even if he managed to grab its wing and just went along with the Eagle before courting his death.

...

The Eagle\'s body slightly decayed, and some motes entered Zevien\'s body as his body got a little stronger.

\'Hmm, I guess that\'s a 5% increase in physical strength,\' Zevien speculated after he sensed the physical strength of his body increasing slightly.

After staying for one hour in the labyrinth and having his magic core enhanced gradually, Zevien checked his Digi-watch and saw that his magic power also increased by 10.

After this one kill, Zevien didn\'t fly up again and continued moving forward cautiously.

After twenty minutes of moving and crossing a mountainous path, he actually saw a field.

The field had fences, and there were small sections filled with different types of flowers growing.

Suddenly, Zevien became wide-eyed as he saw a house materializing out of nowhere, connecting to the fences on the left side of the field.

A middle-aged man wearing farmer clothes and a plowing tool came out of the house before working in the fields. He started collecting flowers.

A few seconds later, a middle-aged woman with a basket in her hand materialized near the middle-aged man and started collecting flowers as well.

"Haha, it seems that we will be able to earn a lot after selling these flowers in the town," the middle-aged man heartily laughed while collecting the flowers.

"Yes. It\'s good that all three seasons went well, and we got high-quality flowers all the time this year," the middle-aged woman with long brown hair nodded with a smile, "where is jack? He\'s taking longer."

Zevien was bewildered and rubbed his eyes, \'what the fuck is going on?\' He had never heard of something like this happening.

"Hey, big brother, what are you doing?"

Suddenly, Zevien heard a childish voice from behind him and was startled as he hurriedly turned around and saw a twelve-year-old boy looking at him curiously.

"Eh, big brother doesn\'t seem like a human, hehe, what\'s with those pointy ears and those fangs," the boy giggled, "are you here to scare me? But too bad, I am not scared."

Zevien silently looked at the boy with his mind in a mess. He stretched his hand towards the boy, causing him to back off warily, "what are you doing?"

However, he managed to touch the boy\'s hair, and it felt real, \'so they are not ghosts…but what is going on?\'

He didn\'t encounter this phenomenon before the time rewind! Something very strange was happening!

"Who are you? Where have you been living for the past years?" Zevien asked.

" Of course, I have been living here, in that house, since I was born," Kohan answered as he looked at Zevien as if he was an idiot.

"Kohan? Y-you…come back here," the middle-aged man and woman arrived there and said to Kohan while looking at Zevien with some fear.

Seeing them like this, Zevien returned to his human form, making those couple shocked.

"Human and Vampire both? Could you be a magician?" the middle-aged became a bit relieved before asking. But wariness was still present in his eyes.

"Indeed, I used a magic spell to transform myself into a vampire," Zevien nodded with a harmless smile before asking, "by the way, where have you been living yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" the couple looked at each other, clearly startled at Zevien\'s….stupid question.

"Erm…of course, we have been living here, in that house," the woman said as she pointed at their house.

Zevien slapped himself and closed his eyes for a second before opening them again and seeing the couple looking at him with a bewildered look, \'ok, so….I am not dreaming or anything.\'

…

Not just Zevien but every person present in their magic labyrinth at this time was experiencing these things, be it people of the Gaia continent or the Astral Land.

They suddenly saw buildings, towns, people, paths, structures, and many other things appearing in their magic labyrinth.

…

"So much soul power, Woah. I just took a nap, and this much happened?"

Tarto appeared on Zevien\'s shoulder and suddenly spoke with eyes closed as if sensing something.

"Whaa! What a cute cat," Kohan and his sister, Jenna, became excited seeing Tarto.

Zevien was sitting inside the couple\'s house as he was trying to comprehend the situation and get some information from them for the last half an hour. The middle-aged man\'s name was Henry, and the woman\'s name was Rezia.

"The fairy magic labyrinth is also changing drastically. I\'ll have to return and see," Tarto opened its eyes and ignored everyone before disappearing.

"Who was that? How can a cat talk?" Henry and Rezia were confused.

"Eh…, that cat is not simple, better not anger him," Zevien wryly smiled, "Tarto is very powerful and can kill us in a blink of an eye."

"But isn\'t it big brother\'s pet?" Jenna asked innocently.

"Shsssss," Zevien put his finger on his lips and hushed sweatily before weakly smiling, "Tarto is not a magic beast but a fairy spirit. He is from another world, different from this world."

"Oh…," Henry and Rezina were surprised, "so there are other worlds as well?"

"Yeah, I am also from another world," Zevien nodded with a smile, "anyway, thank you for telling me about the town and other things that you knew. I will come to visit again later."

"Ah, wait," Rezia stood up and smiled before chuckling, "it\'s rare to see a guest from another world. Why don\'t you stay for dinner and then leave? I will prepare it quickly in just twenty minutes."

"Hahaha, indeed. This year, we had good yields and got high-quality flowers all three seasons," Henry grinned widely, "we can afford to eat better food now."

"Yey! Better food!" Kohan and Jenny cheered.

\'Well, I\'ll stay and get some more information,\' Zevien thought before nodding with a gentle smile, "thank you and sorry for the trouble."

"It\'s fine, young man, don\'t sweat it," Henry laughed.

The food was ready after twenty minutes, and it was rice with curry and two meat dishes that they were eating carefully as if it was expensive.

Zevien didn\'t eat much of it knowing that and mostly ate rice and curry.

"It\'s delicious," Zevien nodded smilingly. Naturally, the food didn\'t match what he was eating daily. It was not even as good as what he ate in the orphanage, which showed the condition of this family.

After quickly eating in ten minutes, he bid them farewell and left. He promptly flew up after using some drops of blood from the vial and transforming himself into a vampire.

On the way back to the cave, he was shocked by many things as he saw small villages, lots of people, new buildings, structures, carriages, and many more things. The area near the cave was relatively empty, however.

After returning to the cave, he filled up the vial again and sat down in meditation since he was already feeling the pressure of leaving the labyrinth.

After a while, he disappeared, marking his record for staying inside as two hours and thirteen minutes this time.

…

*knock...knock…knock…*

"Are you there, Zevien?"

"Ah, coming, coming," Zevien said as he quickly put the vial inside the cupboard and opened the door.

"Your pretty late. Come on; it\'s time to train," Dan said as Zevien opened the door and turned around before leaving.

"Eh, I felt a bit exhausted, so I wanted to sleep half an hour more," Zevien wryly said as he followed Dan out of the dorm as both went to the training ground.

\'It looks like this is going to blow up soon since all magic labyrinths should have this phenomenon,\' Zevien speculated since Tarto also said that the fairy magic labyrinth was changing.
