Mave sprinted out of the way, where he was formerly standing, away from the pincers of the large centipede monster that attempted to ram into him.
Mave had been attacked the moment he had entered the light. When he followed the light he entered the very bottom of what looked looked like a mountain. When he looked up he saw that there was an entrance above and it was where the light was coming from, but it was too high up.
He looked around and so that the place was wide, having nothing but rocks and boulders on the ground.
The centipedes immediately borrowed out of the ground and attacked him.
He looked at the centipede and smacked his lips since he did not have time to fight, because he had to find his friends and make sure that they were okay.
The centipede was over 10metres tall and a meter wide, with little black eyes but two a giant mandible that almost looked like pincers. Judging from how big and sharp it looked and how it could use it burrow into the ground with ease, Mave could tell that if it was to come in contact with him, it would shred him to bits.
He focused on the centipede to learn his stats.
*Centipede monster*
*D class: level 1*
‘the class isn’t the problem, but their numbers.’ Mave thought as he wearily looked around and counted the three giant centipedes that were in the place.
One of them shot at him again almost like a moving train, Mave ran out of the way and the centipede smashed the boulder mave was standing on effortlessly before focusing on him again, the others as well preparing to charge at him.
“” I can detect a strange presence and energy Mave, you should run away from this place now.”” The system warned
“I can’t” Mave said struggling to stay away from the centipedes that tried to maul him.
“”you are not ready for this, you haven’t even awakened yet.””
“I will manage somehow, but first, I have to survive this. Any ideas? ” Mave insisted, very determined to see it all through to the end.
The system knowing that Mave would not back down, gave up on trying to convince him.
“”you’d need a weapon to be able to fight these centipedes, their tough exoskeleton makes them almost impervious to all forms of attacks. Hitting it anywhere other than the end will not kill it, aim only for the head.””
Mave nodded, he had fought these centipedes before in his past life, but back then he had awakened and he wasn’t as weak as this.
‘ this would have been very easy if I had my talents or at least a weapon' he thought, still nimbly trying to shake off the centipedes gunning for him, but they were tenacious.
‘no weapon here. And I can’t use the rocks here because this centipedes can easily crush boulders, rocks will hardly do anything against them.’
Mave skidded to a stop and then looked at his hands and remembered something he had done back in the past.
“we’ll do this the old fashioned way.”
*Skill activated: Energy infusion + Enhanced strike*
*Enhanced Action*
Mave stood his ground as he activated his skills, whilst waiting for one of the centipedes to charge him again, Jung infused his energy into his fists and prepared himself..
The moment the centipede came closer again, attempting to maul him with its mandibles. Mave reared his right fist back and then with all his might propelled him arm forward to punch the centipede right on the head. His punch broke the mandibles and drove into the skull of the centipede with a loud sound. The centipede reared backwards swayed in the air before it collapsed and died.
Mave smirked at his successful and then looked at the other two flexing his arm.
“one down, two to go”

The portal widened strangely rather than closing causing Jiren and his team and the others present to watch it cautiously.
“what do you mean you are detecting a strange energy?” the leader of the portal regulation asked his subordinates furiously demanding immediate answers.
“we don’t know sir” his subordinates lamented as they tried to get the energy level measuring machine to work.
“it’s like there’s another core inside.” Another more experienced subordinate answered.
The leader gritted his teeth and then barked out orders.
“report this as a portal anomaly now!, clear the vicinity for another 500m radius and request for any A class talented to come here right now….”
“sir, something’s coming out of the portal. It’s a spider monster!” the subordinate shrieked in fright as she tried to run away.
Just as the subordinate had said, a spider monster came out of the portal and shrieked before it attempted to run amok.
“Everyone step back! Jiren, Talia take the sides. Donre and sky protect the vicinity. I’ll proceed from the front.” Theon shouted and then gave orders to his team immediately drawing his sword. Since they were the only talented people around, it was left for them to manage the situation.
Another spider came out of the portal, two more did and soon more spider monsters came trooping out of the portal ,escaping to the human world.
“What the hell! I thought we killed all of these bastards” Jiren said as he took his position, whilst holding his Lance tighter ready to act.
“we did, I was certain. I even confirmed with my Navigator” Sky said, visibly disturbed by what she was seeing at the moment.
“we’ll find out later, for now don’t let a single one of them escape.” Theon said and they all nodded before they engaged the spiders again, this time, outside the portal.
****
Mave removed his hand from the skull of another centipede and watched as the creature writhe before collapsing. Mave was breathing heavily now, he looked around and so the corpses of close to ten monster centipedes.
‘they just keep coming, hopefully I got the last one, I don’t see any more coming. Ugh my hands hurt.’
He looked at his fists and see how sour they looked because of smashing them repeatedly into the hard exoskeletons of the centipede.
He was also spotting a fee bruise wounds on his body, since he had been fighting the tenacious centipedes since.
He extended his hands out and the ring activated, absorbing what little energy the corpses of the monsters had so as to replenish his own energy and heal himself as well.
Mave paused when he felt the cave shake and hearing the sounds of something crawling, not just something but a lot of things.
“what’s happening now, it sounds as if there are hundreds of insects crawling around the place.” He looked around trying to understand what was happening.
He felt the presence again, and he was certain that he had not felt such a presence before in his past life.
When he was done absorbing the energy, he leapt up and started climbing the walls of the cave, so he could continue to where he was sensing the presence.
****
Jiren and his team successfully killed all the monsters that came out of the portal and tried to escape. The place was like littered with the corpses of over one hundred spider monsters.
“these are a lot. Are these the monsters you fought in there?”
The leader of the portal regulation asked Jiren as he was dispatching the last set of spiders, making sure that they were dead.
“yes, but these spiders are more aggressive than before.” Jiren answered, as he tried to steady his breath from all the fighting.
“luckily none of them escaped Beyond this point.”
“yes, I’m very sure of it. But just in case, sky could you check.” Jiren asked her.
Sky was also breathing hard since she had been fighting as well.
“will do..”
She activated her talent and began using it to sense the entire terrain. She shook her head, signalling that no other monster escaped, to their relief.
“so what next?” The man asked.
“we will go into the portal and investigate” Theon answered as he stepped forward, wiping his sword clean from all the black blood of the monsters that were on it.
Jiren nodded in agreement.
“no you can’t do that. Your team has done so much already and we can’t tell what’s inside the portal anymore. Atleast wait for the A class talenteds to come in, you are only B class.” The man objects, for their safety.
“how long do we wait? The longer we wait, who knows what else happens” Theon insisted. And at this time, Theon’s team came together, ready to follow their leader.
“this is a portal anomaly. We aren’t certain anymore the threat level this presents to you and to us out here. “
“we will do our jobs sir, when the A class teams come. They can come in as support.”
Theon said before looking at his team, and when he saw they were in agreement, he moved on, leading them into the portal once again.
As they left, people around cheered them on and clapping at their heroism. Jiren’s team still remained the best B rank team, loved by everyone.

Chapter 13 The portal regulation Team leader stood watching the portal with keen interest. His face held a worrisome expression on his face, unable to find answers to his questions. ‘Why in the world is this portal not closing and what is happening?’ he asked himself as he stared at it. At this point there were no more spiders coming out but everyone was still weary of it. The sounds of sirens broke his train of thoughts as he looked back to see what was happening. Five black jeeps rushed to the scene and just from the looks, he could tell they were all government vehicles with government officials, but the question now was which officials. He frowned just as he saw them pulling over on the scene, parking in different points in a pattern that will prevent another from coming in. The portal regulation Team leader was also relieved that someone else, possibly help had come, since it had been some minutes since he had requested help.. “must be the bureau” he said and he went towar

Her words caused everyone to stop running and look at her whilst using the opportunity to catch their breaths. “What's wrong Sky?” Theon asked with interest as the leader of the team, knowing that it might be important. Everyone else looked at her as well, waiting for an answer. Her chest was heaving as she steadied her breath before she began talking. “that lower part of this portal that I could not access before, is now accessible.”“what? Explain better” Jiren said impatiently. “I mean that, there’s a whole new place underneath this place, it’s connected somehow and the entrance is at that place where we destroyed the energy core.” She explained. “Is that so?. Can you tell what is inside this new place from here?” Theon asked her. She shook her head. “Sadly I can’t. I’d have to get closer or possibly inside to be able to tell what’s inside the place cl

Chapter 15 Maverick coughed out blood gasping for air as he held his stomach with one hand and tried to stand with the other hand. He had suffered another devastating attack from the three massive centipede monsters that had assaulted him while he was climbing. The attack had sent him right back to the bottom again. He struggled to one his eyes, but his left eye was already so bruised up and battered that it could not open. Several of his Bones had been broken and it was a miracle he was still alive. He looked at his stats and he saw how bad he was *Health: 09/100**Energy: 05/100*His health was so low because of the level of heavy attacks he had been receiving from the centipedes and his energy low because he had been using it consistently to heal himself and using his skills.He frowned as he watched the centipedes tower over him watching him intently trying to see if he was dead or not. They could see his life force so they knew he was not yet dead, and was ready to finish the

Chapter 16. Maverick, having arrived at the top, saw that it was crawling with centipede monsters and spider monsters. He had raised an eyebrow at what was happening. “the centipedes are eating the spiders?” It was surprising for Maverick to see, the centipedes were hunting and feeding on the spiders and the spiders were fleeing with all their strength. "In my past life it wasn’t strange for stronger monsters to hunt and eat weaker monsters to level up, but it wasn’t like this. Not to mention that something seems weird here.’ Maverick thought as he kept his eyes trained on the scene before him. *Centipede monsters * C class, level 20+ He read their stats immediately seeing that as they hunted them the spiders their levels were increasing. He could see the energy core of the portal just at the centre of where the centipedes were hunting and he knew he had to destroy it. But before he could do that, he’d have to go through all the centipedes first. The centipedes noticed

Chapter 17Strength in numbers literally caused the tides to change against Theon and his team. The monster spiders were getting so much in numbers that Theon’s team began to struggle now. The spiders were short range attackers, attacking with the sharp claws on their long legs and their sharp mandibles, clawing and biting were their attacks and it was powerful enough to rend flesh easily. They can spew webs from long distances, which can immobilise their targets for them to be able to attack them.Only the boss spiders can spew acid from longer range and have superior strength compared to the regular small spider monsters.. “Cold touch”Jiren whispered as he extended his arms forward to the troop of spiders coming his way, his talent activated and a wave was expelled speedily and from there anything it touched began to freeze up and crumble to pieces. The spider monsters unfortunate enough to be caught in the attack were destroyed but more took their place. “grrrhhh, I’m almost o

Dammit.” She said as she turned around again, irritated. “you know that worrying this much doesn’t get the job done right?” the portal regulation leader said and she glared at him“I don’t want to even hear it.” She said, While she was talking another vehicle came over and another A class talented came out coming to meet her. “I’m sorry I’m late, I was caught up In another portal” the tall slender man in an all black attire said with a small smile.“Your apologies mean nothing to me and can’t save us right now.

As she heard it she turned abruptly since she had been expecting news from all her agents working. She took the phone from the agent and then began talking. “This is Natasha from the Bureau talking. Give me your report.”“Yes ma’am, " the voice said from over the phone. This is a team sent out to investigate the area for any unlikely phenomenon and just one kilometre from the portal anomaly where you are standing we have discovered another portal whose energy signature matches the signature of the foreign energy we discovered from the portal in your location.” The person on the other end of the phone reported.“Is that so? So it’s just as I had hypothesised. These two portals were linked somehow and were able to sustain one another.” She replied.“Yes ma’am, our scientists have confirmed the same thing. ““has anyone

And he saw Natasha immediately call for the medics to come treat them, since everyone could tell that they were badly injured. The people around rushed to them and helped them out just as the medics started attending to them.One of the medical personnel rushed to Maverick to attend to him but he dismissed the help. “I’m fine, attend to them first” he pointed to his friends laying on the ground that were more hurt than he was.

The beam of energy was so strong and intense that it left a trail of destruction as it was heading for Maverick.Maverick remained calm, standing and watching with no visible expression on his face. He wasn't even bothered that the energy beam was heading straight for him. But just about half a metre to his position, the beam collided with an invisible force that shielded Maverick from the beam. The collision of the beam with the force resulted in an explosion that enveloped the entire place, owing to its destructive nature.Seconds later and the explosion cleared and Maverick will be seen unscathed. Not just himself now, but the other children that were on the ground.Maverick looked away from Supremus and then at the children who were besides him.

"I had no choice, you were poking around so much, so I did what I had to do." Adrian answered whilst continuing with what he was doing on the computer. Maverick gritted his teeth seeing no hint of remorse in both men.

Alyssa added, struggling to get back up on her own as she was slowly recovering strength."I don't think we can take that robot on our own." one of the returnees lamented.

He could not see, but he could sense just very fine.The armed men kept shooting since there was nothing else they could do, they couldn't see and they couldn't just wait until they were able to see again.The lasers they were firing off was so powerful that it was able to easily penetrate through the metals on the ground and floor and doing significant damage.Maverick dropped in thier midst and punched the two behind the lead armed man, very hard. The punch sent them flying backwards since maverick used a lot of power for it. The third man realizing what was happening immediately aimed his gun at maverick and was about shooting him down but immediately the man was kicked in his face by the girl that had met Maverick before.

His exclamation and behaviour surprised everyone else in the room, since they were somehow confused as to what was happening."What's happening?" one of them finally asked, looking at everyone and at Maverick so that he could find an answer. There were several mumbles but at the end there was no response, obviously because none of them knew what was happening. Then all eyes turned to Maverick who was folded like a ball on the ground, lamenting. "um hello?
