I looked at the giant cave that was big enough to take even titans in. If not for the System, I wouldn\'t even know that this was a cave.
\'Though still… it\'s sad to see a soul trapped for such a long time… I guess it\'s \'killing a dragon in order to save him,\' huh?\' I thought as I moved into the lair with the sword in my hand.
[One Coloured Fang(Unique)!]
[Description: So, how do you define unity? It\'s when the entirety of one converges into a single entity. It\'s not the addition of all into one, neither it\'s the following a single thought point. But bringing close that one that has scattered. Forged by theaster of Unity, One Coloured Fang holds enough power to kill anything that comes into its path. It has only one color, and that is the color of power.

Remarks: It was forged to kill. It was built on pride. With time, it has grown to destroy. Be careful not to lose control.]
It was a nice sword. Rhea told me that it would be perfect for me since the beings who destroyed this planet have the ability to create clones of themselves to an exaggerated level.
Walking through the air using the [Air Walked Shoes] I began delving through the insides of the cave. The path was rather big, so it took time to venture deep into the first level. Or at least that\'s what I called it.
-Slash!
The monsters dropped like flies as I slashed them left and right. Despite me being weak, [First Slash] was enough to kill all of them without any resistance. Though I should still be careful about this whole area.
[Space Time Map!]
Using this ability, I kept sure that I wouldn\'t get lost in this place, and then I kept using [Warp!] as I moved inside the area. Though when I reached deep into the place…
A strong attack, in the form of a fist, was going to come from the front as I observed it through the [Foresight!]
But something felt odd as I kept looking through it…
I prepared to slash it as usual, but as soon as I made up my mind to attack it, the attack vanished. The fist which was going to come from the front disappeared from there.
"??" I was confused as I wondered if it sensed the counterattack.
Though not even a moment later, the attack came from the left… and once again as soon as I began to prepare for the counter; the attack vanished from there.
"This is fun," I heard a rather proud but creepy voice as I looked around, but not being able to even sense it on the [Space Time Map] made me a bit more cautious about everything.
"I didn\'t think I would find anyone this interesting here," the voice continued as I foresaw another attack coming… this time from the left… and the right at the same time. My eyes widened for a brief moment before I concentrated again.
But as soon as I figured out a way to attack both sides, the attack vanished again.
"Aren\'t you a cheeky one?" the voice continued as I kept my silence. Looking around in the darkness, everything seemed empty.
[Insane Flare!]
I used a fire attack to lighten up the entire area as I checked the surroundings, but still… I couldn\'t find anything.
\'Is it a ghost or something?\' I questioned. Though if he were a ghost, those attacks wouldn\'t work on me.
"Calling me a ghost? Come on, man! That hurt my feelings," the voice came again as my eyes widened, realizing that he could read my thoughts. I should…
"Will that work, though?"
"!!!" my eyes widened as I heard the voice right behind me. When did he get behind? How come I didn\'t see him in the foresight?
Turning around, once again… there was no one standing there. Was it just the voice and not him? No, wait… how come I am not hearing his voice in the [Foresight]?
My heart raced for a brief moment as I tightened my grip on the sword. My eyes searched for him over and over. Yet, I was still not able to locate him. Well, I did expect things to be hard, but didn\'t know it would be this complex.
\'Well. For now, we are at a stalemate,\' I sighed on the inside as I kept my eyes closed while being ready for any following attacks.
"You really think so?\'\' The voice followed as 4 more punches came from a tetrahedral direction. Though, I guess I had already expected this much. In fact, I was prepared one step further. And just like last time, the attacks stopped even before it came.
"I kinda do," I answered as I gained back my composure. Now that we are not panicking, let\'s take this in a calmer way.
"So. Who are you?" I asked as I looked around, trying to figure out the way to get out of this mess. The attacks came in the future again, and then the future changed again as the attacks vanished.
"Aarick would be the name. What\'s yours?" he asked as I heard faint footsteps coming from behind. Turning around, I found the darkness still covering everything as the empty hall appeared in front of me.
"Michael," I answered to him as I kept my stand, waiting for him to reveal himself.
"Nice name you got there," he spoke as he took another step and his body, which wasn\'t visible before, now became more translucent as he walked.
His white hair and ruby-like eyes were the first thing that came into the picture before his muscular top appeared. Wearing a white cloth that covered his lower half, he walked there with a rather cheeky and prideful smile.
"You too, I guess. Are you one of the natives of this planet?" I asked as I looked at him walking towards me closer and closer until he reached a few meters of distance away from me.
"Nah! I am just here for fun," he answered as he looked at me with an even brighter smile.
