‘What is this feeling of dread?’ The intruder thought as he jumped backwards, away from Eric.As he was trying to confront Eric again, another one came for him from above aiming to smash the pole on him at high speeds.He jumped sideways avoiding the strike and ready to face the two assailants when another one seemingly materialised behind him with a flaming sword in hand ready to decapitate him.He launched into the air, totally avoiding the strike and landing somewhere far away but still able to see them.Immediately he landed, he was hit by a golden beam from a floating wraith like entity but he was barely affected so he shrugged it off.“Damn, he's so fast!” Chuck couldn't help but mutter audibly.“He's like a rat, slipping through attacks like a fat little b*tch.” Nelson cursed angrily, floating over the water.“He's too dangerous. He's still toying with us.” Amy said, brandishing her flaming sword again ready for another clash.Eric, however, had something else on his mind.‘He

The entire cohort was upon the strong entity before them, ready to decimate him with their abilities when he suddenly chanted, amidst smiling.“Cycle of the Wild, Initiate the Hunt!”…[Cycle of the Wild: The Hunt has been initiated.][Your stats have been improved by 14%.][Stats will improve by 2% every minute till it's on a 50% increase.]…The system screen popped up in front of the stranger and he straightened his shoulders and exhaled, feeling the inflow of energy into his body, before facing them all.Several wraiths were soon upon him but their form seemed to crumble, before reaching him, after he ‘jabbed’ his hands into them and plucked out some stones from their forms.Soon, Eric was upon the stranger ready to slash at him with his signature weapon but the stranger effortlessly caught it and used his strength to divert its trajectory only for the sword to unleash the fury of the energies contained within upon him.The relative immediate area around them exploded upwards but

Within the golden ethereal dome of energy, Eric had unleashed the “Divine Punishment” enchantment of the Divine Smite and his opponent had tanked it while not letting go of the weapon itself.Eric gritted his teeth and planned to morph the weapon into something that would make his enemy lose his grip on the weapon.Suddenly, the sound of metal groaning reached his ears causing him to pause in dread. No way. It can't be right? There's no way! Eric had a thought but he didn't think it was conceivable at all.A system screen abruptly popped up in front of him.[Divine Smite Durability Point: 19987/20000][Divine Smite Durability Point: 19235/20000][Divine Smite Durability Point: 18897/20000]In the span of three seconds, the durability of the Divine Smite went down by 1103 durability points. Eric's Divine Smite had sustained damage when it clashed with the other Divine Smite but it had fixed itself, just like any other item higher than the Mundane class, when it rested in Eric's invent

Mr. Baker stretched his hands forward and encompassed the unconscious Amy in a forcefield bubble, quickly taking her away from the man’s presence. The man didn't bother stopping him because he had gotten what he wanted from her. Even if he wanted to stop them from taking her away, he might fail in doing so and it might prove fatal for him due to Eric's unstable state. “Is she alright?” Chuck came over and inspected her. Everyone also gathered around her in concern. Matt frowned his face and shook his head. “Although it's not Analysis, my Vital Vision is detecting an anomaly in her body. It's like a void or a vacuum in her essence-body.” Matt explained and deactivated his skill before adding succinctly. “Asides this, she's alive.” Erica pursed her lips, placing the back of her hand on her forehead. “She's… feverish. Dammit, what did that bastard do to her?” Erica cursed, an out-of-character behaviour because she was upset. “Two people should stay with Nelson and Amy while the

Everyone was adrift above a massive glacier, despondent and drained of all emotions and strength. There was an active ocean current propelling the glacier towards an unknown direction. Amy was still asleep and Nelson’s condition had stabilised due to his self-regeneration but it was still far from optimal. “What do we do now?” Chuck asked with a serious tone, seeing that Eric was just staring at the horizon where Jasmine and the man left for about six hours. “Cut it out, Necromancer. Let him process his thoughts and talk at his own leisure.” Matt refuted Chuck and shook his head. ‘He’s probably regretting keeping that girl alive back then.’ Matt mused internally before shaking his head. Countless moments of silence passed and Eric finally stirred, clenching his fists. The first light of day was just appearing from the horizon, painting it with a tint of surreal orange hues. Erica stood up from her spot on the glacier and walked towards her brother in hopes to get through to him.
