His valiant cry woke those who were still trembling with their fear, and the chorus sound from the gun brought them a flint of hope.
Tatatata!!The more they heard the gun fire, the more they regained a portion of confidence and fought back as well.Meanwhile, Jason moved in between the people, making sure to target the dead humans and the lioness corpse.While he was doing so, he heard a scream come from his right, a bit further back. He turned around to check the source of the scream, and he found a woman running towards him."Wait, why do I feel like I know– Oh, isn't that the woman who..." He paused, seeing what was chasing the woman.Not just any woman though, but the same woman who had been lucky enough to survive out of the first five to go out.She was running as fast as she could, and the predator behind her was also chasing as fast as it could. But even then, it was obvious who was faster between the two.The woman."...She's quite the runner." She was really running for her life. Jason was amazed.But then clicked his tongue in annoyance and was prepared to kill the lioness for the few Hunting Points.Regrettably, he was a tad bit too slow, for before he could even do that, gun fire rang out and the next moment, the lioness was gone.It was hit by a series of almost ten bullets and lost balance of it's body, crashing down heavily on the floor before losing its life.Jason paused. The woman paused. They both turned to look at the direction of the man that held the gun. He did not mind them and instead surveyed the environment.His eyes went everywhere like a hawk's eye, making sure that every lioness was gone.He then rushed over to help the commander, who now had two supporters alive out of the initial five of them.Jason could only click his tongue in annoyance and move towards the lioness corpse. The woman who just so happened to be in the way, cautiously held her dagger and pointed it at him."Stop!! Wa,watch your ste,steps!!" She moved back as he moved over. Jason paused and helplessly shook his head, then continued over.The woman retreated all the way until she was behind the lion's corpse. She was trembling slightly, and almost at the verge of screaming out for help.'What a psycho.' Jason thought while he crouched down before the lioness corpse and placed his hand above it. A few notices appeared before him.[ Infinite Extraction Complete!! You have extracted the Level F Talent - Bloodlust ][ Infinite Extraction Complete!!

Collect a few more data to obtain information about this species of Beasts ]"Oh? Now that's a bonus." Jason let out such a cry of surprise as he obtained new notices from his Talent for once. Most important one was the one from the [Decipher(D)].He then stood up and left to do more of his 'job'. As for the woman, she just stood there in relief. She could not bring herself to trust anyone here.But she herself was not strong. She also knew that she was beautiful. And they were a lot of men around here, especially those like that one that just came and left, Jason.She believed he was pressurized by the gun, and if it was not because of that, he would have done something indecent to her. Or worse, kill her off.Once Jason was gone, she slumped down her shoulders in relief and hurried back to the group with plenty of people. Especially where they were females.Once there, she got along with a young fifteen year old, and a thirteen year old girl. She herself seemed to be in college, hence the two felt safe around her, than around the man.As for Jason, he made a sprint towards another lioness corpse and lay his hand over its corpse. And as he expected, a notice appeared from his Talents.[ Infinite Extraction Complete!! You have extracted the Level F Talent - Claw Sweep ][ Infinite Extraction Complete!! You have extracted one Distributable Point ][ Your Level D Talent - Decipher has collected 99% data from the Wild Lion species. You have obtained the incomplete data of the Wild Lion Species ][ Would you to view the information? ]Jason did not agree yet and moved on towards the last corpse of the lioness. 'What would come out of a 100% decipheration?' He was curious.He placed his hand over it, but before his Talent could take effect, he felt something hot press against his neck, slightly burning him."You move, I shoot." Then a valiant voice he was more than used to right now, rang directly from behind him."..."Jason paused and did not move from his position. 'Well I'll be be dammed. Fuck.'From the corner of his eyes, he could tell that the Great Lion was killed off. And the fact that this man was here, proved that even more.Another thing he could tell was that everyone was focused on them, all remaining eyes were on him at this moment. 'The attention... it's too blaring.'[ Infinite Extraction Complete!! You have extracted the Level F Talent - Poison Claw ][ Infinite Extraction Complete!!

Something told him that whatever information that would come out of this would help him out a lot right now.[ Wild Lion Species ][ Information: A Beast-type Calamity race that have nothing but the craving to hunt, hunt and hunt. They especially love meet, regardless of type or race ][ Background: They are live within jungles, and originate from the deeper areas of the jungles.

'Talk about being a threat. And they are just ordinary at evolved lions.' Only his thoughts did.All the while, he had frozen in the position of touching the lioness corpse, while crouching down. He felt uncomfortable.The man behind him said, "I'll give you three second to give me a proper reason why I should not kill you." His words were stern and final.Yet Jason did not hesitate to respond, "Do you have any reason to kill me?" He inquired fearlessly, yet his tone was still humble."I have plenty." The man said.Jason retorted, "If you want to kill me, just do it. Don't try to find baseless reasons to do so. Makes you seem a bit..." He did not finish his words."..."The man also paused, then a moment later, he sighed and changed his question. "You have been following us for a long time, using us for your own selfish gains.""While we on the other hand, lost eight members, and have a few more badly wounded. And you? Still perfectly fine. Now tell me, is your life worth more than eight lives?" He ultimately questioned, his tone filled to the brim with rage."..."Jason paused. The question was a serious one, and his brain couldn't generate a quick response, that wouldn't get him killed.'I could tell him the truth but... Nah, fuck it. I'm telling him the truth.' He thought, despite knowing that this might decreases his chances of living."I would say, yes. To myself, my life matters more. But then again, I do not understand how those that died relates to me. I did not kill them, nor did I result in them dying."He responded, and the man seemed to be angered even more by his bluntness.But Jason ignored that, "All I did was collect information from the corpses of the things that you killed, and also to check a few after effects of being killed by them on the humans.""All I did was collect information from the corpses of the things that you killed, and also to check a few after effects of being killed by them on the humans." "I would have done that anyway, whether you were here or not." He said. "So I will say it again. If you want to kill me to avenge the people that died, then simply do it." "You have the power to do so, so you don't have to give yourself a reason. I know for one, that I did nothing wrong." He concluded with that, and the man stood behind him in silence. Both men kept their silence, yet the gun never moved away from Jason's nape. 'Did he... Will he kill me?' He thought, slightly getting nervous. The situation remained the same until the Level C Talented player, whom was also the leader, appeared to solve the situation. "Let him be. And you, if what you said is true, then what information have you collected?" He questioned Jason, his words not taking in any in-betweens. Jason frowned, seeming displeased by the attitude of bo

The shots did save up enough time for everyone to run a few more steps ahead, but the Zombies left within this small group were Tier 3 at minimum. They charged over like rabbit dogs, and easily caught up to the running players. '...Shit.' Jason cussed as he ran even faster, yet still making sure to remain behind. He had long deactivated his form, and his ERG was slowly building up back to 30. Yet it was still below ten at this moment, which meant the average stamina of a human. Sooner or later, he would slow down. Meanwhile Adolf did not stop firing his gun, but the Tier 3 and Tier 4 Zombies were tough enough to at least deflect the bullets with their bare bodies. And taking in the fact that they were undead, made them more frightening. "Kya!!" The little girl that had been running with the lucky woman suddenly tripped and fell. The woman holding her hand subconsciously paused, but when she got a glimpse of the rushing Zombies, she continued to run. Unfortunately, the fear was
'Fuck!! Jason you've gone and done it now.' He thought, bitter and in regret. His heart was being torn apart as he was considering whether to escape by himself, or stay with these people. But staying was sure death, yet he was blaming himself they were in this situation. Hence he found the decision a hard one to make. 'What now?' He thought, also going through all his Talents, and what he could use through his soroundings, but to no avail. '...Is this really it? The end of my journey? Fuck, but it just only begun!!' He thought and thought, but to no avail. He was so focused, he did not feel the little girl within his embrace nudging at him. His focus was on the noises his enhanced senses could pick up from far away, of multiple Zombies rushing towards them at full speed. Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~ Woosh~ They were like arrows flying through the air, piecing through the wind with barely any resistance on their bodies. 'Shit. Time is ticking. Time is ticking. There's not enough time.
They were sorounded. Every corner of this barrier was full of Zombies that kept up gathering around them. They were like worms squirming above each other within a small bucket. They were numerous. More than the hundred that they began fighting with. The situation was now beyond even Jason's might. Most of everyone looked at Joe, who also had a pale expression. Even Adolf besides him was stricken by fear as well. Then they moved their eyes to Jason, who also seemed fearful. Then they looked down in defeat. Their strongest warriors saw no hope, what of them? Beatrice also trembled in fright, and hurriedly held Jason and Anabella's hands. It was a subconscious action of hers, and both adults had no time to think about that. But Anabella did though. She also wanted to hug Jason's arm to feel safe, but was more afraid of him, than the Zombies outside. Even she could not explain that fear. It was a subconscious feeling. Meanwhile, Jason frowned and used his high INT and Talent, [Twi
They froze, as fear caught up to them. But Joe was still a man of action. He took charge of the situation. "Alright. We are moving on. Don't grab the others, and just keep pushing on. Pull your legs if you're tired." He said, and everyone once again marched on through the tunnel he was creating. None wishing to be the last person in the line. Meanwhile, the last person himself, Adolf, frowned as he looked back. 'That kid isn't here yet. Is he planning on running away?' He thought and turned to look back. He could still see the pit a few meters behind him. Due to the light from the pit. And it was obvious that there was no one coming after him. 'That brat. How could he–' But just as he was about to cuss at Jason, an explosion abruptly rang out and caused small tremors to appear within the tunnel. "The fuck?!" Adolf looked back in shock, and from here, he could see smoke and dust falling into the pit like a heavy downpour, and devouring any hint of light observable. The fear everyo
The shadowy figure instantly transitioned from where it stood... and appeared before him. It was as if it displaced itself from space, and shifted positions. Or rather, as if it was always before him, and only made its presence be known. "..." And it's appearance was so sudden, Jason just saw his whole entire vision turn dark. This thing appeared right before him, to the point where his nose barely touched it. And he could smell its iron-like scent, that was similar to that of blood, and hear its slow, regulated breathes that were similar to those of humans. But slower. And heavier. Jason did not even see how it moved. All he knew was that his life flashed right before his eyes. And his heart forgot to synchronize with its body. One man. One shadow. They stood toe to toe, and breathed into each. But nobody was sure what they were breathing into each other. Life? Or the more likely, death? Anabella also shakily looked back, and was mesmerized by the scene she saw. Not only her.
He snapped his fingers, and above his palms, a white crystal appeared. Pure white, and radiant in nature, it dwarfed any normal jewel or crystal the two have ever seen within their life. "This is..." Anabella exclaimed, as she felt her blood boil at the appearance of the crystal, with her breathe slowly hastening. 'What... What's going on with my body..?!?!' She panicked. "Calm down. This is a shard of divinity, exactly what you're looking for to exceed your current Rank and mortality." Jason saw through her sudden excitement and panic, as he decided to calm her down, then went back to appraising the shard of divinity closely. [ Shard of Divinity ] [ Rank :- 20 (Deity-Low) ] [ Function :- A rare graded treasure, that is obtained from Higher Worlds or from Planes above worlds, or from divine beings killed. It can be used with, and within anything, having high Affinity with almost all things within the Universe. The higher its rank, the higher the Affinity with Existence. Can act a
A question that was not much of a question at all. It felt like a command. And hearing that she would grow even stronger, Anabella felt dread invade her nerves. Just ranking up three times gave her a sense of great power, let alone when she went as far as to Rank up six times!! She dreaded the idea, but went forth with it nonetheless. "Uh, ye–yes, right away." Anabella, though even more confused and frightful, still did as ordered, and ranked herself up again. And this time, it was the first time she went through six Ranks at the same time. No, nine ranks, including the prior three ranks from Rank 9 to Rank 12. The changes to her mentality? Were great. [ TING~ ] [ You have spent 101,250 units of Energy Essence to promote yourself towards the next three ranks ] [ An achievement made!! Congratulations for being one of the top 100 humans to reach Rank 18 first –all your stats have increased by ten points each ] "Oh?" Anabella paused in shock, letting out a light exclaim at the
The true clone was having a conversation with Felix, trying to learn more about the opponents it had to take out before facing the big boss, Fein the demonic deity himself. And the conversation was just beginning to take place, when a sea of notifications made an entrance, detailing an inclusion of a high element into the conversion process. Just like how the creation of the demonic undeads had the inclusion of Constell, or rather now known as Daemon, the corrupted greater god of constellations and destiny's bloodline, made them a demonic variant of undeads. This time, the inclusion was a fragment of divinity. The true clone briefly glanced through the notifications, and the choices the Jason, within the "Temple of Stars", had chosen t
But what would the death gods do even if Jason swore onto their name and divinity? Nothing, and he knew that too. They had no access to his destination, and they all knew their incarnations would be easily destroyed when sent down. Hence they could only swallow up their pride, pretend they heard nothing of such, and respond to his genuine concern. And sure thing, a response quickly came. The same introduction as always appeared before it, and the true clone smiled, continuing to read through more red tinted notifications that flashed by. The true clone paused, and briefed through the notifications once again. It went through t
[ TING~ ] [ 25% of the obtained units of energy essence have been transfered to your party members, and is shared equally amongst them ] [ TING~ ] [ 25% of the obtained units of energy essence have been transfered to your demonic undeads, and is shared equally amongst them ] 50% of its energy essence... gone!! The true clone reread through the notifications that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but sigh. 'I forgot about these guys, and their presence. Well... honestly, this alone is still enough to last me far longer than I can presume.' It thought to itself. Fifteen million units of energy essence was still a lot to have. Even when including the fact that Jason required seven times more energy essence than others to Rank himself up. It was still enough. 'I bet this is enough to take me all the way towards the rank of semi-higher beings, or the likes. Maybe even beyond that level.' It thought, a smiling etching itself on its face. And taking into consideration the fact th
From his deduction, the Cypressian Lord would not survive for the next coming ten seconds. By then, it would truly be dead, regardless of how much of a struggle it puts on. "What can I say? I'm just every false god's living nightmare." The true clone responded with pride, sighing in relief as it's bet and calculation took place perfectly as calculated. After all, taking down eighty million points of Vitality was not something easy to do. Not even for itself. Next time, [Fenrir's Rage] would be excluded, since the raging special effect was not of much use to it. 'If it wasn't for the "Black Gloves" and the fifth grade blessing of the [White Shadow Blessing], I would have long pulled back without any sort of hesitation at all.' It expressed, now waiting to reap the benefits of killing the Cypressian Lord. It then went through its plan again, and how risky it would have been if it failed. But first, it checked the wondrous definition of the fifth stage of the [White Shodow Blessing].
"Fucking go back." The true clone uttered, throwing down yet another Dual Lance towards the Cypressian Lord that had secretly escaped the hands of death. It's intention clear, as it wanted the Cypressian Lord back into the folds of death, and the [Undead Monarch] Trait also cried out in defiance when it felt parts of its authority being rejected right before it. 'Perish.' The true clone thought, as the Dual Lance tore through the skies like a white flash of lightning, entering through one portal-way, and out another. And like the judgement of the gods repeating their punishment once more, the Dual Lance struck the same place, and snuffed out the life force of the Cypressian Lord, not even giving it the chance to let out a cry of pain. "..." Yet nobody celebrated. "It... has yet to die." Felix added once more, now understanding why Fate had warned him not to go against his brother, without sufficient preparations to die. 'Fein, oh Fein, you seem to be determined to fight against
"...Like a war king, my brother has his defense unit, offense unit, as well as support unit. Oh, the artifact you destroyed not too long was supposed to have been the scouting unit. Fortunately, it was not yet a half-divine ranked artifact, and was not blessed." Felix carefully divulged, information that would be considered 'snitching', as he was throwing his own brother under the bus. And without remorse, added more with a straight face. "...And to add, each one is actually more of a greater threat than the other. Personally, I believe this one is the easiest to deal with as long as–" He continued, looking straight at the true clone, and how it visibly got more and more annoyed at his attempts. Until finally, when a smile crept up on his face as if he knew he was annoying it. The true clone finally snapped, and gave him the attentions he needed, "Shut up for a minute. I promise I'll get back to you in a minute, you damned bastard." It said, bathed in anger and annoyance. "Okay."
[Undead Monarch] was only for just in case an error took place, and it would die. This Trait gave it power over death, temporarily giving it Undead properties such as being undying, as long as it's subjects still existed – the demonic undead trio in this case. Each one acted as a soul courier, whereby if they exist, it exists. [Dawn of The Trimurti] also gave it amazing boosts of strength, secretly increasing each stat by 4,000 points. A hidden effect not included within its long description, and something that the true clone did not mind. Plus, it also had plans for [The Creator – Brahma's Mind Eye], which allowed it to be able to create anything of its level once a weak. 'Didn't think I'd be wasting this chance here, but I don't mind. I'll just create something that can kill someone, regardless of it's reviving powers. Hence, I can eliminate this guy with just one shot.' It thought, not sure if such an effect was at its level or beyond it. Nonetheless, it had to work. [Son of Me
