Alpha Reborn!

"Here, catch."

In a moment of quick thinking and cunning, Lirian, with a taunting and teasing smile, tossed the still-beating heart towards one of the kobold archers who had drawn an arrow, poised to strike him down.

Lirian wasn't above playing dirty when the situation called for it, and he knew that survival often depended on taking advantage of every opportunity. So he did it without any remorse.

The unexpected action caught the kobold archer off guard, causing it to instinctively swat the organ away with its bow, disrupting its aim and giving Lirian a crucial moment to react.

Lirian seized the opportunity. How could he not when he did something that disgusted even him?

He activated his movement-type soul ability, blinking away from the kobold archers and past the bewildered kobold warriors who were left momentarily stunned by his sudden disappearance. In a flash, he returned to Evan's side, his presence felt only as a gust of wind that stirred the dust at their feet.

"You catch on quite fast," Evan remarked, feeling impressed with Lirian as the latter had put his teachings to practical use just after hearing it once.

"I hear that quite often." Lirian boasted shamelessly, "I guess it's one of my inherent abilities,"

Kuhiiik!

The kobold archers issued a command that pulled the kobold warriors out of their daze as they each swiftly launched a few arrows in a heartbeat.

Whoosh!

A volley of six arrows flew past the two kobold warriors and headed towards Evan and Lirian with lethal accuracy and incredible speed.

Evan, Instead of backing down or trying to evade, stepped up and brandished his low-level magic sword.

"Arise from your slumber, Furious Demon of Frost!"

With a voiceless chant, he activated the special ability of his magic weapon.

Whoosh!

Several sharp shards of ice materialized out of nowhere, hurtling through the air to intercept the incoming arrows.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The ice shards collided with five of the six arrows, shattering them into harmless fragments, but the last arrow flew unimpeded, hurtling towards Evan with deadly speed.

Just as it seemed that Evan's fate was sealed, Lirian pushed Evan behind him and, with a wave of his hand, released a wave of invisible soul energy that crashed into the arrow, deflecting it away harmlessly.

"I got you covered," he said to Evan with a grin.

"Thanks," Evan replied to him.

Their vigilance raised as they watched the two kobold warriors charge toward them with swords raised.

"I will take care of the one on the right. You take out the other one." Lirian said as he swiftly sprang into action.

ραпdα- n૦νe|`c,0m He moved with blinding speed, flashing up to one of the kobolds, intercepting it just as the other charged towards Evan uninterrupted.

The first kobold warrior swung its sword at Lirian, and it was shocked out of its wits as Lirian caught its sword in his hand.

He effortlessly wrenched it out of the kobold's grip before turning it around and plunging it deep into the kobold's chest.

Puchi!

The blade pierced through flesh and bone, emerging out of the kobold's back, causing it to crumple to the ground, lifeless.

Meanwhile, the other kobold warrior jumped at Evan, brandishing its sword with deadly intent. Its attack looked so slow in Evan's eyes that he didn't bother deflecting it and instead maneuvered his body with such precision and speed that he narrowly dodged the kobold's blade while closing the distance between them.

"This is the end!"

In one swift motion, Evan swung his sword horizontally, slicing off the kobold's head in a shower of blood and gore.

[Ding! You have slain a level 4 Kobold Warrior! You get four experience points and a two points increase in your Strength!]

The two of them had dispatched four out of six of their foes with brutal efficiency, leaving their lifeless bodies sprawled on the ground.

Of the group of six kobolds, only two archers were left.

They charged ahead.

Whoosh!

In response, the kobold archers unleashed a deadly volley in their directions, each arrow aimed at their vital points with deadly precision.

Swoosh!

Evan and Lirian moved with lightning speed, their bodies twisting and turning as they darted between the arrows, every step they took bringing them closer to their assailants.

Gasp!

The kobold archers trembled. Evan and Lirian were the ones bending and weaving their bodies in a dance with death, but the kobold archers felt that it was they who would die if nothing was done.

After all, the gap between them was close to being bridged!

Thwack!

Evan Frost brandished his sword with finesse, using its blade to expertly deflect an incoming arrow straight towards one of the archers.

The arrow pierced through the archer's flesh, stabbing its heart deeply, instantly ripping its soul out. It groaned, blood gushing out of its mouth, and collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, its eyes as lifeless as a dead fish.

[Ding! You have slain a level-6 Kobold Archer! You get six experience points and a six points increase in your Agility!]

Another notification popped up at the corner of Evan's vision, telling him about the rewards he had earned from killing it.

Meanwhile, Lirian Shadowfire leaped towards the remaining kobold archer, his body twisting and turning mid-air to dodge the incoming arrows.

He looked like a hawk gliding towards its prey as he moved through the air and punched the archer in the face.

Bam!

The impact of Lirian's fist on the kobold archer's face was resounding and akin to a surgical strike - it shattered the archer's jaw and sent its facial features into disarray, and just like that, the kobold archer went from looking like a ferocious monster to a hapless victim of botched plastic surgery.

Perhaps the kobold archer was so shocked by the sudden transformation that it promptly lost consciousness and hit the ground like a sack of potatoes.

Lirian knew it wasn't dead as he could feel its heartbeat.

As Lirian moved to strike the final blow that would end the kobold archer's life, a sharp cry from behind made him pause in mid-action.

"Stop!" Evan exclaimed, rushing over to the archer lying on the ground and brutally stabbing it three or four times with his sword.

[Ding! You have slain a level-7 Kobold Archer! You gain seven experience points, and your Dexterity increases by six points!]

"Great!" Evan thought to himself as the notification sounded in his ears.

He grinned in satisfaction as his experience points jumped to 56, more than enough for him to level up twice.

Lirian gave Evan a strange look. "You got some kind of monster-stabbing fetish or something?"

Evan rolled his eyes in disgust. "What are you talking about? Let's just keep moving."

Evan couldn't easily explain why he did what he did. It would be hard for anyone to believe that he had a system that helped him become stronger if he killed others. He might be taken for a crazy person.

And if such news reached the ears of the maniacs roaming the galaxies, maybe they would come after Evan to take the system for themselves.

The system was his greatest secret, and he couldn't tell anyone about it. Otherwise, he would be endangering himself and the people around him.

'Character screen,' Evan muttered as he and Lirian walked through the tunnel.

A transparent screen containing all the information about him came into his view.
