"Grah!!!"
"Raagghh!!!"
Hearing the cacophony of noises surrounding him, Valyr closed his eyes for a bit as he took in a deep breath.
'Three from my right... and four to my left.'
Whoosh!
With the thought in mind, the young man deftly avoided the three charging from his right, ducking under all of their attempts at striking his chest.
Activating [Rage of the True Wyvern] as he rolled forward, Valyr then greeted the four from his right, sending a couple bolts of Shadow Energy towards two of them.
"[Arcane Shadow Serpent Magic Style]."
"[Arcane Shadow Bolt]!"
Bang! Bang!
"Grraagghh!!!"
Unsurprisingly, with the amount of energy put into each bolt, as well as the stats powering the bolts in the first place, two of the four were quickly sent flying.
Focusing on the two on his left that remained, he then proceeded to retrieve the spear from his back with one hand before swiping a few times at them to distance themselves from him.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Taking note of the three that were still on the hunt for him, Valyr stood where he was as he watched the three attempt to land an attack once again.
Though, just like before, the young man was able to avoid all of their attacks without much problem.
However, this time around, he utilized [Arcane Shadow Warp], disappearing from the sight of the feral humans as he turned into a blur of Shadow Energy.
Swoosh!
Just as the feral humans that wanted to kill Valyr looked around for his whereabouts, the young man appeared not far away from his opponents.
Faintly amused by the sight of confusion written all over their faces, the young man soon flared his aura in its entirety, only to bolster it soon after with [Limit Break: Second Verse].
Like a beacon, all seven feral humans looked at him with eyes filled with rage and bloodlust, charging towards him without abandon.
In response, the smile on the young man's face turned wider as he gripped onto his spear with both hands.
Then, aiming the tip downwards, he circulated both Shadow Energy and mana throughout his body.

Watching the seven get closer and closer to him, it was only when they were only a few meters away did the young man swing upwards, conjuring a wave filled with destructive black and blue energy.
"[Arcane Tide of the Dark Night]!"
Swoosh!
Before their very eyes, the feral humans watched as their bodies were engulfed whole by the dark and azure wave, feeling as if millions upon millions of weapons were attacking every single inch of their body.
'It's repetitive, sure. But it's a good kind of repetitive.' With these words in mind, Valyr closed his notification screen as he brought up the description of the quest he had just completed.
Ding!

[Gates of Awakening' Trial (4)] (Linked Quest) (Time-limited Quest) (Repeatable Quest)
Difficulty: A
The Gates of Awakening is considered to be an organization that stands at the top of the power hierarchy, a paradise for those who wish to hone their strengths even further.
Having made your way to this organization from the lower-rung Gates of Enlightenment, you understand very well how much more generous the Gates of Awakening is when it comes to nurturing its members.
However, there still exists a higher sky above the Gates of Awakening, a sky that many consider to be more of a myth than a reality.
Yet, your senses tell you that it exists. The Gates of Awakening tells you that it exists.
You've already shown that you have what it takes to ascend to the Gates of Awakening.
Why not show that you could become a part of this higher sky as well?
Quest Objective:
> Kill 50 Feral Humans (50/50)
Quest Reward:
> Increased level of authority within the Gates of Awakening
Quest Penalty:
> None
[Note: This quest can only be obtained and completed within the Four Pillars' Inheritance. Leaving the inheritance is considered as forfeiting the quest.]

"Well, at least I have to do less killing than before," said Valyr to himself, only to notice that the system was asking him if he wanted to repeat the quest again.
Naturally, he said yes.
With the repeatable quest under his belt yet again, Valyr decided to look at the new quest he had received for a later time, certain that its contents were more or less similar to the one he got in order to enter the Gates of Awakening.
Feeling like he had gotten more than enough rest at this point, the young man stood up once more before taking a look at how much hours of sunlight he and the other two had left.
Doing a few light stretches as he got out of his temporary rest place, Valyr sent a message to the party chat regarding the quest about killing the feral humans.
Surprisingly, both Hal and Vera told him that they had already gotten the quest and were well on their way to completing their first run of it.
Understanding that the two of them would return to the camp by the time the sun set, Valyr decided to get a move on as well, hoping to upgrade his authority by a couple more levels before night fell.
Though, just as he was about to wander through the streets of the ruins' center once more, he began to sense a strong feeling of beckoning coming from the true center yet again.
However, this time...
The feeling was now laced with a hint of urgency.
