In the Night.
Micheal reappeared in the middle of the jungle, but even though he was lost, he didn't care too much.
The only thing he could think was:
'How did I lose? He clearly was weaker than me!
I sensed his spiritual energy and it was clearly less than me! How can he exert so much strength?
I think I really was thinking too small when developing my class.
Next time, he won't even have time to breathe.'
...
Absko appeared in a random region of the jungle and just thought to himself.
'This really was a fruitful fight. I have to focus more on accuracy in my skills. Power alone is useless if it doesn't hit the target.
Moreover, that mental power, in the beginning, had me totally overtaken. Next time Michael may not be there to help me out.'
Absko then sat on the spot and start to work on the development of his new skill, while meditating.
...
On the reappearance of The Ranker's leader, August climbed a tree and looked to the surroundings to identify his position and headed to The Ranker's base.
On his way, August continued to reflect on his fight with Joe.
'That man definitely got stronger during the fight. Not physically stronger, but his fight style improved vividly.
I'm sure he has as much potential as the others in the top 10.
Moreover, I watched the others fight while fighting Joe, that may be one of the main reasons I lost. But I don't regret it. His underline was incredibly strong. Even though they had to team fight Michael and Absko, while they were alone. They were still impressive.
Exclusively that necromancer, that could rival Michael alone. His support played a small role in the fight, and it only helped the fight to finish earlier.'
August continued thinking until he arrived at his alliance's base.
When arrived he noticed the movement of people organizing their weapons and getting ready to fight.
He then saw Cecilio speaking to a few people who were arriving from August's mission.
"Alliance members, you guys still may not know but we were attacked.
Another alliance in MA attacked me went I proposed to them to join our alliance before I knew they were an alliance.
After the leader discovered he went there peacefully to ask them why, and they ruthlessly teamed up to 'kill' our leader." Cecilio said.
"I can't believe it, did it really happen?" The members were shocked by the news.
"Of course it is true, why would I lie about such a thing?" Cecilio reaffirmed to them.
"So, we have to regroup to give them what they deserve." The members got furious.
After hearing this, August screamed at everyone.
"Everyone, calm down and go to the center, I have an announcement to make. I repeat, everyone calms down and goes to the center NOW"
After that, August went to the center himself.
The center was a place August built with his alliance, which was an open space with a stage where August could make announcements and those kinds of stuff.
At this point, the alliance wasn't so big, so even with everyone in the center, that place wasn't even close to being full.
August stood up on the stage waiting for everyone to come to the center.
After seeing that all of the members were there, he could see in their eyes that they wanted to take revenge for him.
All of them were quiet and waiting for August's speech.
However, during his walk from the random place he appeared, he understood some things.
"Hello everyone, I guess all of you already heard about the incident that happened today.
I'm here to clarify some details.
First of all, Cecilio lied to you guys. In truth, we were the ones that attacked them.
Moreover, we brought the Duble Kings along. And we still lost.
Cecilio has been lying about this incident. He was the first to be defeated.
He didn't hold seconds in the fight.
Besides that, he did not ask them pacifically to join us, he tried to force them, which is against our politics.
Therefore, I hereby that Cecilio is expelled from The Ranker for the reason of going against the alliance's interests."
There was a roll coaster of emotions on everyone's face. They mostly got shocked by the first expel from the alliance, then they got furious by Cecilio's lie, and then got scared by the possibility of them also being expelled from the alliance if they make something wrong.
...
On the morning of the next day, Blake woke up with Vasha on his side.
He ordered his delivered and went to take a bath in the river near by.
He usually didn't care about that before, but now that he is dating, Blake is trying to put some more effort into his appearance.
After all the morning routine. Blake decided to go back to his cave to finish his business there.
Moreover, he also had to create more undeads.
He lost almost all his undead mosquitoes and ten of his undead hobgoblins during the fight.
Luckily, the tiger and the king-cobra survived, otherwise, he would have had to walk slowly through the jungle and would have lost his most effective method to kill his opponents.
Vasha decided to work more on her class instead of going along with Blake.
Blake then started to continue to study his fist along the way.
Just this little study was enough to help him had his skill was fully created and achieve the 1%.
It came when realized that he used the mana manipulation to solidify even the undead energy.
However, since he didn't fully understand that, when he realized, the impact was much stronger than imagined, which caused the explosion.
In reality, that explosion didn't add power to the punch, it was an error, if the correct explosion occurred, it would be a focused explosion that would cause double the damage he caused before.
When Blake arrived at his cave, he killed the hobgoblin and used its undead power to strengthen the king-cobra.
That hobgoblin was with the leg injuries, he wouldn't be useful and an undead.
Blake met his old undead and sat down in the middle of his cave while continuing to implement his old research, that pill that could hold undead energy and his own spiritual energy. However, this time he has mana to improve his project.
