72- Reinforcements are here 1 ‘ding’ ‘(Red lancer sword) has been added to the Attire 1 slot.’ ‘As the (Attire 1) is in use, would you like to equip the (Red lancer sword)?’ ‘(YES) or (NO)’ I quickly pressed on ‘Yes’ button and the ‘Red lancer sword’ appeared in my hand. At the same time, everyone stopped laughing and the bald guy made his move by trying to grab Armelia, with his right hand. This was my chance. I reacted quickly, and I activated the ‘Stealth’ skill and the ‘Quick sword slash’ ability. From his right side, I slashed my sword towards the neck of the bald guy. Because he is using his right arm to grab Armelia, he has created a blind spot for himself. And as he is focused on grabbing Armelia, the chances of him noticing me are very less. Plus, I have activated the ‘Stealth’ skill. Which increases my chance of sneak attacking him. My speed was fast, but somehow the bald was able to react and I missed the chance to behead him. Maybe as a reflex, he ra
73- Reinforcements are here 2 ‘ding’ ‘Since the (Stamina) stat has increased to 250. The hidden ability related to (Stamina) stat, has been upgraded.’ ‘Fatigue Limit has been increased by 500.’ I ignored these messages because I feel that no matter how much frustrated I get; it is of no use. And due to this, the hidden ability related to the ‘Stamina’ stat which got upgraded did not make me much excited. Putting this matter behind. Normally, it would be difficult or maybe practically impossible for me to kill the bald guy, but I took the opportunity when he was distracted, to attack him and the stats boost that I received because of the ‘Red Lancer sword’ and ‘Wind Walker’ also played a vital help. Although I failed to kill him in the starting, but when he lost his limbs, his fighting spirit was almost gone and he even failed to fight till the last end and got beheaded easily. The Demi-human stage guy who dodged the fake attack that I made, seeing me kill the bald gu

75- Mughur Hunting Group The old man and the burly guy rode their respective monsters at a slow pace and as they were getting closer to me, I tried to think of getting out of this situation. My instincts were telling me that these guys are 100% related to the dead bald guy. But even after racking my brain, I only came to one conclusion. That is – only a miracle can save me right now. And if there is no miracle, then getting this system and earning so many ‘Free stat points’ is like - wasting my whole life earning money but suddenly due to some disease or accident, I lost my life and all the wealth is either transferred to my inheritors or taken by the government. Finally, the two monsters stopped. The old man and the burly guy got down from the monsters and they looked at the dead bald guy. One of the men under the dead bald guy approached the two guys (The old man and the burly guy) and he quickly kneeled on the ground and spoke, “Leader, please kill this bastard, he is
76 – Inhuman Torture ‘Snap’ For a moment, I felt like the world has come to a standstill, and time has paused. Then like a lightning strike, the pain hit me so hard that I could not help but scream, “AHHHHH...” ‘ding’ ‘- 230 Hp’ Without waiting for another second, Rob took another finger and then again ‘snap’ ‘AHHHHHH....” ‘ding’ ‘- 200 Hp’ For the first time in my life, I wished that this was just a nightmare and not reality. But the reality is cruel and Rob continued breaking my fingers. ‘snap’ ‘ding’ ‘- 220 Hp’ ‘snap’ ‘ding’ ‘- 220 Hp’ ‘snap’ . . Rob continued breaking my fingers. I seriously wished for death more than anything else right now. And due to the constant pain transmitted to my brain through the nervous system, I felt that my vision was going blank, and just as I was about to lose consciousness, ‘SMACK’ ‘-50 HP’ I was slapped on my face with so much power that, my brain was given a shock and blood started dripping f
77- Lamia? I know what’s going to happen next and I don’t think I can watch this. Because if I did, then I will lose the last bit of ‘will left to survive’ in me, and I might die due to this cruel reality. So, I closed my eyes. I know that someone will force me to open my eyes and look at the scene that was going to follow but still, I will try to avoid this, as I am in no condition to handle the heartache that will follow. ‘Smack’ And unsurprisingly, just as I closed my eyes, someone slapped me. And using fingers, they put pressure on my eyelids and tried opening them. And just as my eyes were opened forcefully, ‘Flash’ A powerful bright light was flashing in front of me, which made me close my eyes. And suddenly, ‘BOOM’ I felt like something crashed and a huge gust of wind started to blow. Being injured and in no position to protect myself or hold on to something, I was blown away for a few meters and fell face down. And then I felt my consciousness slippi
78- Armelia's story “I am a Lamia.” Wait, what? Not waiting for me to process the information, Armelia continued, “Ever since I was born, I have been raised in the dark forest and I have practically spent my whole life here. I always wondered how big the world was.” “And one day, I heard that there were humans who lived outside of the forest and a few stories related to them. As I had nothing to do here in the forest, I collected information related to places outside the dark forest. Gradually, my wish to explore the outside world increased, so much that I could not control myself and went to my mother.” “But when I asked my mother about this, she denied me and warned that I should not step out of the dark forest. But I was not able to control my feelings and ran away from the home. But I did not know the way out of the forest and so I was stuck, but I finally met you.” “After that, you know the story.” So, practically she was bored of her everyday life and she decided t
79- Armelia's mother “Armelia, it is alright now, your mother is here. Don’t cry, I will not let anyone harm my daughter.” Hearing this, Armelia started crying even more. So, the woman was Armelia’s mother. Armelia’s mother gently consoled Armelia, while caressing her head. After a few moments, when Armelia calmed down, she opened her mouth. “Mother, I...I...” Armelia’s mother placed a finger on Armelia’s mouth and spoke, “Shush. I know, I know everything. I already knew that you ran away from the home, so I sent a few of the guards behind you. Anyway, we will talk about this later and you, get ready for the punishment. And we should get back soon, as I can see your friend over there is seriously injured.” Hearing about the ‘punishment’, Armelia’s face showed that she was scared but when she heard about Orochi, she quickly looked in his direction and saw that Orochi was lying unconscious. Seeing this, Armelia ran towards him and pushed away the two humans who were h
