I AM AN ATHEIST

Bitter Truth

The ominous aura emitted from the man who was holding three swords made Xavier feel as if he was facing the god of death himself, he looked like an epitome of death, his eyes were pitch black, he was not breathing and seemed to be lifeless

Also, the blood lust that was emitting from his swords seemed to be too thirsty and craving for fresh blood, the swords looked as if they had their own will and were alive.

Run.

Run

Come on Xavier, Run.

The first thought that appeared in the mind of Xavier was to run away, he knew even if died, he would resurrect, but still, his thoughts were revolved around escaping.

I must escape.

I can't fight it

Although he wanted to run away, something seemed to be stopping him from doing it so, knowingly or unknowingly the scene from the Harbinger Valley replayed in his mind, he

was back to that day, he saw his cousins and himself blowing away from the jump made by the Minotaur, then he saw how the sword in his hand flew away with a single clash resulted from the sword and the axe, finally, he saw Faiza shielding him with her body.

Next second, the image of Minotaur overlapped with the man holding the swords, from the inside of his heart unknown courage raged out dissipating the ominous aura that was being emitted by the man holding three swords.

Forgetting the pain in his abdomen, Xavier held Ivar in his hand, with a sharp look on his face, he charged at the man.

"Clang"

The swords collided then something happened.

Xavier saw that he was back into the hall, he did not believe it first, but after observing his surroundings and the people around him, he realized that he was back.

At the same time, he remembered Mona's words that one can only get back to the hall either by dying or by clearing the room.

I did not die then only it means I cleared the room, Xavier thought.

" Brother, you are late "

Hearing Golu's voice, Xavier looked over and found his two cousins and Herald.

"Look, Isn't that Dragon112?"

" He is back, Did he die or Did he clear the room?"

" I bet he must have died"

" That may not be true"

" Even Boar4 could not clear it till now, how can he do that?"

The whispers of the crowd reached to the ears of Xavier, but he had not planned on telling them.

" Golu, let's talk later I am going into another room"

Xavier said as he felt something different in him, he was feeling that he had improved, but he did not know how much.

The best way to find out was to enter another room, with this thought Xavier did not want to waste his time.

He was so eager to know what really had changed in him.

Without wasting the time, he selected the room he wanted to go in.

It was the same room, the first room that he entered, the room of wolves.

Hence he was entering into it a second time, and also he cleared the level 1 once, he would face l.v 2 wolves inside.

While Xavier was heading towards the room of wolves that is door3, boar4 also returned to the hall.

" Looks like someone only knew to kill wolves "

Boar4 uttered after assuming that the challenger was running away from room6, he was disappointed with the Dragon112, he never expected the Dragon112 to give up on room6 too soon.

Xavier heard what Boar4 said, but his mind fixed on the room3 and nowhere else.

He entered the room while ignoring the gazes and taunts of the people.

Rain

The first thing that Xavier observed was the rain, it was raining heavily.

Unlike the last time when Xavier entered the room it was not closed room, but an open world with trees, plants and ground.

The ground was wet due to the rain, the water flowing on the ground also made it slippery.

Xavier observed that his legs were already covered in mud, and when tried to walk he found it quite difficult, he was not able to walk at a normal pace as the rain and mud on the ground hindering his movements.

Amidst heavy rain, he saw a few red eyes surrounding him.

The eyes belonged to the wolves, they recognized their pray right away and surrounded Xavier in no time.

A few of them directly jumped at Xavier.

Unsheathing his sword, Xavier did not back down instead took the lead and launched his attack first, when the sword slashed the skin of a wolf, he observed that the skin of these wolves was thicker than that of the wolves he faced before, not only skin was thicker but also they were much hairy.

However, Xavier was not the same either, so he did land the fatal strike with a single s***h and killed that wolf.

since the time Xavier cleared room6, he was feeling some unknown energy dwelling within him, he had a strong craving to fight, his instinct told him that he could only utilize this energy if he had a deadly battle.

That's the reason why Xavier entered the room3 right away, what he urgently needed is a battle, so he began to battle as soon as he entered the room.

Due to effects of the energy inside of him, Xavier looked strong even under the heavy rain, his vision and movements were limited due to the rain, but he was still stronger than these wolves.

In a sense, the current Xavier is much stronger than that of yesterday.

" woooo"

"wooooo"

"wooooo"

seeing their kin die, the rest of the wolves cried out, it seemed as if they were calling others because more and more wolves were coming towards Xavier.

Xavier knew he should attack them before they gather in a large group, it might become impossible for him to defeat these wolves if they gather together in a large pack.

So he did not stop killing the wolves, he slashed throats of some, pierced hearts of some other, and cut down heads of some other.

After some time Xavier was drenched in blood and water, his movements also became slower, but the rain continued to pour down and it seemed to be real hindrance now, at the same time the wolves surrounding him kept on increasing.

Xavier felt much heavier now to defeat a single wolf, the reason includes fatigue, rain, facing multiple enemies at a time, he had to a lot of things together so he could not be blamed.

Occasionally along fighting the wolves, he had to remove the excess water from his face which was obstructing his vision, also he had to make sure that he would not slip down.

he had to manage all these things so that he could fight much longer duration of time without being eaten alive.

As further time passed, Xavier felt that his sword becoming heavier, he knew that his sword was not becoming heavier, it's him who was becoming weaker.

Although his body was becoming weaker, the will inside him wanted to fight more, his desire to fight was kept on increasing.

" Aaaaa"

Xavier cried out as a wolf finally crunched his right leg, the legs seemed to be the easiest target for the wolves as they became much slower.

Then Xavier slashed down Ivar cutting the head the wolf that was biting him, at the moment another wolf jumped up and crunched Xavier's right shoulder.

"Aaa"

while crying out in pain, Xavier dropped the sword from his right hand, but it seemed that he intentionally slipped.

As soon as Xavier fell on the ground, he grabbed Ivar on his left hand and pierced the wolf that is biting on his shoulder through its neck.

throwing the dead bodies of wolves aside, Xavier stood back. Even though he was injured and tired, he still wants to fight, he did not know why, but he just wants to fight more, every time he slashed a wolf or be injured, he felt joy in it.

He was currently surrounded by wolves and had no chance of staying alive, but still, he wanted to fight.

The heavy rain did not stop either, the ground was red, Xavier stood in the middle of dead wolves while bleeding from his leg and shoulder, the wolves which were alive still increasing in number and surrounded him from all the sides, however, his face carried a kind of confidence even in this adverse situation.

The scene looked like an epic fantasy especially when the light from the thunder fell on him.

What Xavier feeling was something looked to be coming out from his body, he did not know what it was, but at least he was sure that once it comes out, he would become much stronger, and the way to make it come out was battle.

So even in these circumstances, he was looking to have more battle.

Meanwhile, In the hall, a big commotion was going on, a few people surrounded instructor Mona.

" Instructor, you lier, why did not my friend resurrect with me when we died together?"

a man complained, his eyes were red, the marks of tears were still on his face, he looked to have lost someone much closer to him.

"Instructor how are you planning to take responsibility? you said everyone who dies inside resurrects, then why did not it happen?"

this sentence was uttered by Boar4, he was also in the crowd, he was just here to take the chance to teach this woman a lesson.

"Instructor, you should not have lied"

Herald said, he was also in the crowd too, he followed Golu, Molu into a room, they met with two dragons who looked to be good, and when they faced the danger, these two dragons did not hesitate to die for their sake.

Forget about Herald, even Golu and Molu were touched, they wanted to thank these two people after coming out, but when they did come out, the only news they heard was these two did not resurrect, it means they died for real.

"shut up"

The words of Mona carried a killing intent behind it, it silenced the rising voices.

" you all spouting that I lied, I ask you when did I lie ?"

Mona said as she held a sword in her right arm.

" Did not you all resurrect? did not you all die inside and resurrect here? where is my lie? If I have lied you all should have been dead already, but you are still alive"

Mona said then she took a deep breath.

"And about the people who did not resurrect, I can only say that they had bad luck"

"Have you ever seen any perfect thing in the world? no right? similarly, the Guruschool is not perfect either"

"Sometimes it also malfunctions, so you have to do your best to stay alive in there because if you die inside you might die for real".
