S-Rank In Another World Chapter 175
Advertisement
Endl ran towards the door and pulled the door using all his strength, the door was pulled so hard that it almost broke, Endl used more force than he should have, but as he was in a hurry, he didn't care about that, and then immediately shouted: "Solar Hell." And he started running even further.
After a few seconds and realizing that he was a long way away and safe, he began to feel the entire floor of the cave tremble, until some loose bricks began to fall from the walls.
Endl thought that the whole cave would collapse, but after some time of instability and tremors that continued for a long time, the cave stopped shaking and everything was calm as it always was.
'It worked?' As he was already far away, he was not sure if it would have worked, but taking advantage of this chance, he looked at the map that was still in his hand and looked for the way to the exit that the priest used.
He was running aimlessly to escape the explosion, so he was a little lost, but some time later, or maybe a long time later he was able to locate himself on the map, and after that everything was easier.
Endl was hoping that the priest had died inside, but after some time thinking he remembered something.
He leveled up when he killed humans the last time. If that system was activated, shouldn't it have leveled up if the priest was dead? Realizing this, he started to shake whole, it was a tremor that appeared in his body for no reason.
Or he thought that, because after a while, as he didn't have his search magic activated, he had to use only his extinct to feel that, and he felt something coming towards his neck.
It was a huge sword made of iron, it was thrown with such force that after Endl dodged, it was stuck in the wall until half of its blade, and he can't even imagine what would happen if that thing had hit his neck.
But he couldn't think of it now, the sword came from the corridor to his right, so there was someone there who had thrown that sword at him, and as soon as he looked in that direction, he was scared.

Walking in that corridor was the priest covered in blood, half of his left arm was torn off, and a good part of his right leg was without flesh, leaving his bones exposed, it was a horrible wound.
His face was also badly bruised and half of his teeth were no longer in place, the explosion hurt him as much as he could, but he did not die even with those injuries.
"You bastard, that really hurt." The priest shouted as he walked towards Endl, his voice was a little funny because of the countless injuries that were in his mouth, but it was not the time to laugh at that.
'But he is hurt, I have a chance now.' Endl was hopeful as the priest was very hurt and he is fine, he would have a lot of advantage in this fight.
"I'll kill you." But it was not as Endl thought, as the priest cursed Endl and walked towards him, his whole body began to shed a weak glow and gradually his wounds began to heal.
'Damn it, I forgot the healing magic, he's a fucking priest!' Endl had forgotten that his light magic was Level 10, it is clear that he would be able to heal without problems, and this will end up with all the advantage he had.
Seeing this, Endl created a stone sword, and swore that he would not let him heal, he would kill him before that happened, if he healed here, it would be the end of Endl, as he could not use another "Solar Hell" in that place, now he would have to fight in a less destructive way.
He would have to fight just enough not to let the priest heal and somehow kill him. Endl doesn't care if the capital is without a priest or something, that priest is a rotten person, and his death would not be missed by anyone.
Holding his sword, Endl ran towards the priest holding his sword while shouting in his mind: 'Who's going to kill you, it's me.' And he swung his sword towards the priest's neck, waiting for his head to fly out of his body.

But it was different, as soon as the sword was close to hitting the priest's neck, a sword appeared in front and stopped the movement of his. Endl couldn't even see the time the priest made this sword, his movement was very fast.

Even so Endl did not give up and started making several sword attacks in the direction of the priest, but even though he was hurt he managed to repel all of Endl's attacks just using the sword that was in his right hand.
'Damn, he's very strong.' Endl decided to use spell support to be able to hit him, so he started using spells that are somehow "weaker".
They were actually more than level 3 and 4, but that could be considered weak compared to level 5 spells.
"Ice spikes." I said in a low voice so that the priest could not hear me and discover my identity, I know he would find out, so it is better to be very careful with my voice.
But leaving that aside, as soon as I used my magic, I stopped attacking the priest with my magic and jumped away. Soon afterwards, the huge ice spikes rose from the floor to the roof of the cave at a very high speed.
The priest was unable to dodge one of the thorns, so a huge cut appeared on his belly, and an enormous amount of blood gushed out, but it didn't last long, because of his healing magic that was still in effect, his wound started to close.
"Stone thorns." I tried to use the same thorn techniques, but this time the priest was smart and managed to dodge all the thorns that came out of the ground, and right after that he started to break the thorns using brute force, and in an instant he was in My front.
I activated the wind magic at my feet and somehow used my momentum to spin around the priest and go to his back, the moment I stuck my sword in his back, his sword was already in that place to block mine.
'But what a persistent face, I will have to use some less destructive level 5 magic, if I won't be in trouble.
After that I thought of some magic that would not destroy the wall and that would somehow keep him from me, or even prevent him from attacking me, so I remembered the "Mud Tsunami" that I used against the Ogre King and the King Goblin.
If I used it here, the entire corridor would be blocked with mud and maybe the mud could somehow suffocate it, but I don't think it would happen, but at least I can keep it far enough.
"Mud Tsunami." I used the magic while I was at a considerable distance from the priest, and then a huge wall of mud appeared in front of me and started going towards the priest while covering the entire corridor with mud.
There was mud up to the ceiling of the corridor, there would be no way for the priest to go through that place now, and I also wanted that mud to have swallowed him together, but I think it is difficult that this happened, so I took this chance, and started looking for the room that had the exit.
Since the priest is in trouble, the barrier activated by him may have disappeared, so this was the perfect chance for him to leave this place.
############
Endl ran away while having his search magic activated to make sure the priest was not after him, and it seems that his plan worked since the priest was not after him at that moment, so he took the chance to go to the output.
But he had to run faster than ever, the priest could recover and go after him as soon as he got up, well, maybe he fell, just got stuck and is in another corridor, but Endl is praying that the priest is buried.
'Let's go.' He was already close to the room where the exit was, he was not only hoping that the priest would be buried, he was also hoping that the barrier was disabled.
Seeing that he was taking too long while thinking about the priest, Endl focused even more and threw even more mana at his feet, his speed was faster than ever at that moment, he was so fast that it was even difficult to make the turns in the corridors, but he kept running anyway.

Synopsis: Issa Pyxis, Spacer orphan and illegal heretic, graduated from living on the streets to running with a gang years ago, but now it looks like that’s all going to change. Her inheritance, more specifically who—or what—she is, is catching up with her, and on a planet with the Emperor’s inquisitors slinking around in every shadow, nowhere is safe and no one can be trusted. What will she do? A cyberpunk story about identity, loneliness, covert infiltration, evil dystopias, and much more! Features: - Cyborgs and cyberpunk galore - This is indented to be somewhat “rational” and “hard” Sci-Fi story - Original Fiction however parts of my worldbuilding are inspired by other Sci-Fi stories (duh) Rationale: The future is cool, AIs are kickass, and questions about consciousness are simultaneously existential and yet unanswered. To me, this story is a vehicle for exploring these topics, and also, I wanted to write a story where the protagonist was unafraid of themselves and where their self is more like a git-repo than a meat computer. Disclaimer: This story primarily takes place in what we’d describe as a “cyberpunk dystopia” with some extra technocracy, autocracy, and religious fervor thrown into the mix, so there will be some “grittiness” in this story. Caveat emptor. Also, [insert your favorite boilerplate “views expressed” disclaimer here]. I shouldn’t need to say this, but the main character and other characters in my story can be wrong on occasion (gasp!) and the way they view the world isn’t always objective truth (if such a thing even exists) nor do their views and opinions necessarily reflect the views of me, the author. Cover art by me! [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge and also having a go at NaNoWriMo this November. This was a first draft published as it was written for Nanowrimo November 2020. A little rough around the edges, I hope to come back and edit at some point, and then continue the story on. In the grand scheme of things Elias was nothing special. Which was why he was surprised by a random company on a new colony planet buying out his contract. That was the problem with the large companies that ruled the colonies, once they owned your contract, they owned you. Imagine the greater surprise when he learnt that the new company held the promise of freedom. Not from the constant battle against the Swarm that were also trying to claim the colony planets for their own. Nor from the Crust, the mysterious substance that covered the same planets and held the resources they all fought for. No, the freedom from being oppressed by those with more power and to finally decide where to go and where to set down roots and call home.
8 139The Purpose of Wings
Selen Moonlit had hoped death wouldn't be the end for her, but never expected it to come so soon -- or for her salvation to come in such a strange way. Given the chance to take over for someone who would've died in another world, she picked the life of a young bird-girl. Now she lives in the post office of a river city lit by crystals, and her adoptive family wants to know what classes and statistics she wants to develop. She knows enough about games to guess how this kind of rule system works. But she used to be an aspiring chemist with a good knowledge of other science. All alone in an unfamiliar world, yet surrounded by family she barely knows, what can she do to make this new life meaningful? This story is a companion story to "Rising World", which currently exists in full on Amazon and has a visible preview here on RR. Many thanks to the readers who saw it while it was being written. This story is currently being posted separately under its own name, where it will soon catch up to what's under the RW title, and this version is a revised edition.
