Chapter 46: Final Punch
They looked into each other's eyes.
It rained blood.
Mike held his sword — but not only the blade was red, even the hilt was soaked in blood.
Shadow's helmet shattered.
He was a figure made of shadow, with two glowing red eyes. His mouth was nothing but darkness.
They both sprinted forward.
The blood rain hit them as they charged.
And they clashed.
Sword slammed into spear.
They twisted and spun with the impact.
In that moment, El came running in from the side.
"Light bea—"
But before El could finish, Shadow hurled a spear.
The spear pierced straight through El.
El coughed up blood.
He fell — still alive.
But… who knew for how long? Thanks to the system, he wasn't like a normal human, but even so… he'd already been wounded once.
Mike screamed:
"NO, NO, NO!!!"
No, not El, please!
We were supposed to be such a good team.
Shadow, you M-MONSTER!
His rage exploding.
"DRAAAAGON SLAAASH!!!"
The sword grew larger again as its aura surged.
The sword aimed at Shadow and
the blade sliced clean through Shadow
Shadow smiled.
He said
Th-a…nk you
He fell and turned to dust.
Mike's aura weakened.
He dropped the dragon sword. He had even received three system messages.
But it didn't matter.
He looked at El.
El smiled, a spear stuck in his belly.
"Mike, can you please give me the final punch?
Good, Wolf, only one left.
Message 2:
General Shadow has fallen by your hands. Well done, Wolf.
Reward: 1 new summoning.
Try it out soon!
Message 3:
Main Quest

Reward?
Message 4:
Leveled up to level 60
Your stats:
10,000 HP
300 Strength
400 Endurance
Magic 350
Aura
Unlocked
Aura +200 Strength +100 HP
Then another message appeared:
Main Quest: One last battle
Wolf… you've really come far.
You had to make sacrifices, blood…
But you stood strong.
You leveled up, but now…
In 1 year, Fireborn (Player Dragon)
will return.
He is currently level 108.
You're level 60.
That's a huge difference.
You need to level up fast, or Fireborn will crush you like last time.
That's why…
Come and meet me in the Safe Forest.
I will tell you the story of the System and train you.
Alright, Wolf, I'm counting on you — and you should too…
The system closed and wouldn't open again.
Mike fell to the ground.
The portal to the real world opened and Mike was pulled inside.
He was back at the park; he landed under the bench.
It was now nighttime.
Mike looked up at the moon while lying down
next to the bench
and thought
"Why?"
