...

\'Keep.\'

A satisfied smile spread across Nox\'s features as he saw the upgraded skill flickering across his retina. It had been such a long time since he had used mimicry since the incident in Snowhelm.

The reason for this was that he hadn\'t encountered anyone with a powerful skill to copy. He had tried copying the skills of some of the gods in the pantheon of mythical beasts, but because of his mortal restrictions, it had been impossible.

Since then, Nox had been itching to use his talent once more. Fortunately, he met this unknown blonde girl who had surprisingly become one of the biggest threats in this tournament, all because of her skill...

Now...he had this skill, but the best part was that he now possessed a more powerful version of this skill!

"Leader!"

Helen\'s teammates finally snapped out of their daze and shouted with a panic expression on their faces as they wielded their weapons against Nox.

Before the others could unleash their attacks, Nox tilted his head slightly. "Stand down," he ordered. His voice wasn\'t loud, but it carried a commanding force that halted everyone from making any movement.

The other Awakened who weren\'t part of Helen\'s team were conflicted about what to do; after all, they were in a temporary alliance. Sooner or later, they\'ll turn against each other. At this moment, they were seriously contemplating breaking the alliance and raining attacks on Nox and Helen, eliminating them swiftly!

\'That would be stupid,\' one of them, a tough-looking youth over 17 years old, thought. \'He could just use that assassin-type skill from before again.\'

Phantom Cloak was still on cooldown, and Nox couldn\'t enter his invisible state, but of course, the others didn\'t know this.

Then the tough-looking guy suddenly had an idea, and a mischievous smile crossed his features.

"Since you want to play, let\'s play like this." The youth sneered as he signaled the others to direct their weapons at the rest of the Cromwell group.

Nox\'s midnight eyes turned several shades darker when he saw this scene; the smile of satisfaction on his face immediately vanished as a raw primal aura burst out of him.

The tough-looking youth trembled slightly. Nox was clearly several years younger than him, yet why did it feel as if he was staring into the eyes of someone much older, and what was this powerful aura?

"The thing I hate most in this world is someone threatening my loved ones." Nyx\'s voice was calm, but something about the calmness made the others feel unsettled.

"B-but!" The tough-looking youth stuttered to speak under Nox\'s intense gaze. It could be said that after the blonde girl, he was the second strongest person here. The tough-looking youth forced himself to look away with great difficulty, and he noticed... he noticed that Nox wasn\'t that overbearing again.

\'It\'s his eyes,\' he thought. \'There is something wrong with his eyes.\'

He was about to tell the others this, but it was too late as Nox beat him to it.

"In the past, someone harmed my loved ones and I was helpless... did you know what I promised myself?" Nox asked as he kicked Helen and added: "I promised myself to get strong, strong to the point that the mere mention of my name would cause my enemies to tremble."

The kick was quite hard, and the blonde stumbled forward, almost tripping over but was caught by the tough-looking youth. Her eyes turned bloodshot as a wave of embarrassment washed over her. This sensation... it was the second time she had felt it... the first was with Hendrix and now...

She clenched her arms and then stood upright like a sword and gave a defiant shout, irritation flashing across her eyes. "Hmpff! You could have finished me when you had the chance, you little bastards!" she shouted as she began to weave her hands through the air, slowly forming the runic pattern.

Because the others had surrounded Nox in a circle, some of them were just opposite Helen, and they immediately flinched back as they recalled the devastating bloody pillar.

"Too slow, let me show you the ropes," Nox said unflinchingly as he drew intricate lines in the air.

The blonde girl paused in her tracks for a moment and stared at Nox with confusion flickering in her eyes. She recognized this gesture... it was something only runesmiths do; it was only compatible with them... so, so...

Suddenly, a series of symbols appeared in the air. At first, they were dull; however, as Nox continued to move his hand in the air, they shimmered to life with each passing second, and the expression on Helen\'s face crumbled like a brick house that was slowly collapsing.

"W-what! What is happening?!" The blonde girl couldn\'t believe her eyes. Her runes scattered into fragments. She rubbed her eyes, unable to believe what she was seeing.

Even the others outside jumped up on their feet.

"He also has runesmithing skills... how is this possible?!" one man said with wide, bloodshot eyes.

"He also has runesmithing skill... how? It must be a fluke." Bridget almost fell off from her seat, and Zarek clenched the table, leaving a deep handprint.

Of course, they didn\'t ever think Nox copied the skill at that moment because... because it was just too absurd.

"Could it be his class allows him to learn all types of skills?" a bald-headed man in a white robe pondered with a thoughtful expression on his face. It was the only conclusion that came to mind.

"That could be it."

"If that\'s the case, he is blessed by the gods themselves!" The spectators on the Cromwell stand exploded into cheers, causing the faces of the neighboring towns to darken.

In the distance, Eve\'s ruby eyes glittered as she saw the reaction of the others, and she couldn\'t help but shake her head. "Ignorance is truly bliss... if only they knew."
