Chaos Cycle: The Eye of Genesis

The wind swirled and howled, and the evening had approached, but the group of seven were as busy as ever. They were only one or a couple of levels away from reaching their goal. Even though the storm was gathering inside the dungeon as the cloud inside the chaos wall stretched all over, they kept on killing the moles.

killing moles had turned out to be quite easy, if they did not choose to escape. They had dealt with moles throughout the day, though the smaller ones came most of the time.

After Shin chose his class, he did not linger with the other group of Leroy and Elior, whose duties were now only taking care of the monster in the sides that would create a problem for others. They had given the other four free rein to claim most of the karma points.

The new Waverunner apprentice was as excited as he ever was with the class. In the institute, they were given a proper discussion about the class, and that was among the many classes—Shin had taken note of it properly, so that he did not choose shit out of all the options. Even though it was an apprentice class, it was a special class and when Shin would become a proper Wave Runner, the class would become a Unique one.

To his knowledge, Shin got the WaveRunner class in the third advancement, but now he had a chance to turn the apprentice into the main class in the second advancement. But now it was for the others to get their chances. Lara should be the next one to advance.

The girl had sweat dripping from her forehead to cheek with sunken eyes—well, everyone was in the same state other than Elior and Leroy. But none of them complained as everything was smooth sailing after the small disaster the previous day.

Now was their last turn to deal with the moles and would leave soon, as dealing with moles in the night was quite a hassle. The four of the freshmen together could kill one mole in the first order, sometimes easily, while sometimes putting more effort. And if more than one mole appeared at a time, then Shin, Elior, and Leroy would keep it busy—like now.

Even though they could kill it easily, they have kept two of them busy as the other four finished one.

"Lara, want to do a solo like Shin?" Elior asked Lara, knowing soloing a higher-grade monster would give her a better chance at getting a better class. Like Shin got a Special class.

Lara thought for a moment and nodded.

"Here you go then," Elior said and brought one towards the tall sword girl. While the other three got to deal with the other one. Hasan was not in the tree now as all his arrows had finished. Even without an arrow, the boy was quite good with a machete and shield.

Lara sucked in a cold breath and saw Elior leaving her with the one and half metre large fat mole. She had no fear against it now, even though it had more strength than her. Her breathing turned slow, and her eyes narrowed—even Elior was surprised at her concentration. She was not far away from the unity realm.

Her eyes were only at the fat mole. In normal situations, it was quite dangerous to do this as another monster might appear out of nowhere and attack her, but she had other companions looking after her. There was no chance for any of that to happen.

She pulled the sword high on her left and swung the moment the mole tried to assault her. It blocked with its claw, but she pulled it back and attacked again. The mole was busy escaping, but she did not leave. Her sword turned colder, and she attacked its back when its head was inside the earth. She was quite fast with her manoeuvre through the mole escaped with an injury on its back.

Her concentration was still on and now she could feel the little undulation beside her. A small mole appeared, but she did not go after it and she did not have to. Elior, who had changed into a bow and arrow, claimed its life with a shot.

The fat monster came again, and it popped from her back, trying to bite her back. She blocked with a backhand jab and twisted her body. She could not contest it with physical strength. A cold aura formed in her sword and froze the mouth of the monster a little. Her ice element mastery had not reached the level yet.

She twisted her sword with her body on its left side, jabbing its face in an arc. The monster squeaked and came at her in madness. She was overwhelmed a little and pulled her sword from the left to right in a faint. It was fast enough to deal a blow to the mad mole.

She continued like that. Her moves showed the test book class and nobility of a sword. It took her over a couple of minutes to finish the monster alone, and she had almost no strength left in her body.

Shin had also soloed a mole, and he did not go on like her. It was not that Lara was wrong with her moves, but Shin was lucky and far better at instinct than her. Well, finally she had dealt with it.

"Congrats!" Elior said. On the other side, the trio had finished with the other one as well.

"Congratulations." Ileana came beside Lara. She had beads of sweat on her forehead and cheeks as well. The other came as well and congratulated Lara.

"Thanks," Lara said and was about to check the prompt about class when the howl of hyenas came. It was far more than anything they had heard before.

"Choose your class or wait for later," Elior said and picked up his spear. The howl indicated over forty of them were coming at them together. "Everyone, stay closer than before. This is going to be a little harder."

"I don't need to wait for long," Lara said. "I got what I'm looking for. I'll choose Swordman as the first-class even."

Hasan picked up the arrows from the dead bodies while Ileana, and Peter drank a mana recovery potion. Elior and Leroy stood before everyone and, about a little distance, Shin stood in the middle. Black clouds collided together and a bellowing thunder roared with the lightning. the wind swirled, and the clouds showered heavily.

'This brings back memories,' Elior sighed inwardly, gazing at Shin and Leroy.
