The Author's POV

-Rumble! -Rumble!

As I quietly moved around the perimeter of the battlefield, I made sure to hide my presence as much as possible. By hiding behind rocks and trees, I slowly crept my way towards the battlefield.

-Baam!

Explosions rang everywhere and pained and enraged screams echoed around the battlefield.

Both sides continuously fought against each other with the orcs swinging their massive weapons down and the demons diving down from the sky-piercing through the gap of the orc's bulky armor.

Black and green blood sprayed everywhere as both sides relentlessly tried to kill one another.

Turning my head to the side, I stared towards the distance where the battle between the two leaders was happening. Standing with his back straight, Silug, the legion commander, Swung his axe downwards.

As his axe touched the ground, the air split apart and a humongous red light quickly approached the count-ranked demon in the air..

-Kacha!

Raising his hand and in a slapping motion, the count-ranked demon's hand made contact with the energy beam.

As soon as the count-ranked demon's hand touched the red beam, everything turned deathly quiet.

Everything stood at a standstill as be it orcs or demons all looked towards the distance.

...soon a bright red light enveloped the surroundings and a massive explosion rang out.

-Booom!

A massive shockwave swept the surroundings as both orcs and demons in the vicinity were flung away.

Not long after, as the light died down and the aftershocks of the explosion settled down, I soon saw the count-ranked demon diving towards Silug with unprecedented speed.

His blood-red eyes now were tinged in black as his left hand hung by a few threads. However if one looked closely, one could see the fiber of his muscles slowly regenerating reattaching his arm in place.

Stoically staring at the demon heading in his direction, Silug raised his axe in the air and screamed out loud.

"Graaaaaaa'”!"

-Boooom!

Soon the demon and the orc once again came into collision and another massive shockwave swept the place.

"Shit..."

Observing the fight from the distance, I couldn't but silently curse to myself.

'How long will it take me to reach their level..?'

Staring at the two leaders fighting in the distance, caused my blood to boil.

...such power.

Such overwhelming might that caused the surroundings to shake with every single one of their moves...I too wanted to become that strong too. Strong enough to not worry about carefully thinking about every single one of my actions.

...I knew I was being greedy.

Yet, I couldn't stop myself from wanting that sort of power.

...and although I knew that the speed of my strength increases could be described as nothing short of a miracle. That didn't stop me from longing to be that powerful.

Still, I knew that some things couldn't be rushed.

Staring at the two leaders fighting in the distance, I knew.

I knew that...

It was only a matter of time before I surpassed them.
