He laid her down on the makeshift bed gently, looking at her one more time before starting looking for the problem that he had delayed for a long time now.He wanted to find out what was causing his pain receptors to be inactive. This was really proving to be an issue, especially in a fight where even a single mistake would be life-threatening.{I almost got banged up in the Sixth Fable because of this.}He remembered when a large group of bipedal rhinos cornered him, making him shiver.'Let's see.'Neo scanned his body as he had almost exhausted his mana, leaving a little behind so that he wouldn’t fall in to the depravity state. This made it easy for him to navigate through, as the mana he had before was like a traffic jam. Now there were only 2 to 3 cars on that road, looking around without getting hit has become easy now.'What's this?'Neo, after searching, was looking at the blockage that he found when he traced a nociceptor to the spinal cord but just before that signal reached
Days passed quickly, at least for Neo and Selene.The survivors survived, and hunters hunted. And with each passing day, it became a nightmare for survivors, as many felt like they were being herded like helpless sheep by the hunters as they were getting more and more cornered.During their “vocations,“ Neo and Selene received many visitors, some went on their merry way while some met their maker. Even the host checked the list to make sure they were not wearing sheep skin to eat the tiger. They looked more like hunters than the hunters themselves. Others were just weak little prey that trespassed into their territory, not a good ending for many.The host also learned of Neo's track record in its free time.‘A territorial couple.’It muttered, even more vigilant against him. Not everyone would waste a favor from the boss just to have a host for breakfast.The game kept ongoing until the last day arrived, and the host's voice sounded.Ahem, I would love it if everyone moved in the poin
Selene didn't reply as she appeared before him, healing his fractured, bleeding arm, which he just now realized took some hits from the assailant. Making him turn silent, muttering how much of a headache this was in his mind, and said to Selene with a grin. "Wifey is the best." It earned him a red hue and a soft fist to the chest. He just smiled, letting her heal him. After healing his arm, they checked the hunters’ belongings before following the arrow once more. “Is he even restricted?” It surprised the host at how easily they handled the hunters who had 20% of their attributes unlocked. He wanted to grab Neo and Selene and open them up to see what these two were made up of, but held itself back as they had become the viewers' favorite and were raking in a good response. He sent many hunters their way. They were disposed of just as easily as Neo let Selene handle them as he gave her pointers over how to use her ability more effectively, slowly making her control over it better
『 Can not Inspect the target.』 『 Anti-Inspect item in use.』 {Oh, that's new.} Blaze said, backing up a little, a hand passed through where his neck was a moment ago, narrowly dodging the attack. Selene appeared next to Xandorael, about to pierce him with the dagger, but felt a resistance, like hitting a ball made of fur. Xandorael twisted his body, and the dagger slid through his body as he swiped the claw like hand at Selene which just passed through her, just then, multiple red daggers formed and were launched toward Xandorael, just as it was near him, they stopped, the Host appeared above them. I know you are enthusiastic about getting to know each other, and you'll get plenty of chances to do so. How about we stop the entertainment here? "I also want to get to know you." Blaze appeared next to Selene as he looked at the host with a grin that widened even further as he saw the host's scrunched face that was trying its best to maintain its smile. The host dismissed him as a si
The crowd cheered for the monster as they discussed how exhilarating the match was, while the species that the challengers belong to had ugly expressions, and many even cursed the jelly-head race for using such an underhanded way to control others.'These aliens are really sick.'{Everyone is the same.}Neo looked at the monster eating its last victim.{A world where strong remains and weak gets eaten.}‘That is…’{…the only truth.}The scene changed, everyone was back in the arena.Another team appeared in the arena, this one had a team of 14.'With their combined luck, it should be a walk in the park for them.'{I don't think the game is that simple, otherwise everyone would've made one big team and cleared this stage, expedition style.}The wheel appeared, and the arm started spinning and stopped on a monster which was just a millipede. A giant millipede with thousands of legs and each leg, a sickle that could easily slice through a rock race person. (Or easily slice through steel)
Neo looked at the 30-foot monster that was walking toward them. Its eyes shone, lightning crackling in them. The body of this monster was really a beauty on its own, but the crackling lightning over it was making sure to warn others not to get close.It vanished and appeared next to Xandorael, its size now 6 feet, and kicked him away. A bluish shield surrounded Xandorael as he slid back.'Can it change its size?'{There wasn't a skill related to that in its skill set.}Now the monster really looked like a tiger warrior as it growled and disappeared once more, appearing next to Neo. The chromatic shield surrounded him, which was just a piece of paper for it, as its sharp claws easily pierced through the shield and arrived before him.Neo vanished and appeared behind the monster, kicking it back.Lightning crackled as it surrounded the monster's back, forming a shield that could protect it and harm the attacker with lightning.Neo still carried on with the attack as his leg passed throu
The crowd was looking at this in disbelief as this fast too fast-paced, everything was happening in an instant and every moment left them dumbfounded. Like, how was Neo able to come out of the lightning storm unscathed? How was he so fast that he left a booming voice when he travelled?How was Xandorael able to damage the body of the beast that was said to have skin that even gold rank weapons would have trouble breaking through? And where the hell did that snake come from? Is this a territorial fight between two bosses?The host was the same, as it felt that one of the monsters left its confines and used its power to send it back, but it didn't work on the beast.It confused the host as it tried to use power to send it back. Just then, it felt a stare and looked toward the source. It found Neo staring at it with scrunched eyebrows for a while before he turned his attention back to the monster.The host received the notifications, which made it speechless.『 Guardian of Meska pays res
Silence*Silence ensued in the arena as everyone’s eyes were glued to the ongoing fight. Some even thought it was shooting for a movie, while some wondered who the actual monster was. The lightning construct that was creating the rumbling sound as it butchered the monster, and the red mist that was giving it support as all kinds of attacks befell the Stormbringer.The cloaked figure contributed by limiting the monster’s movement, cutting at the monster's feet and making it stagger."What is going on?""A monster.""Wasn't the Stormbringer said to be a dangerous monster that could cut down a whole expedition with a wave of its claw?""It is, and it still can. The problem is that…""It met its bane today."The crowd discussed amongst themselves as they stared at the lightning humanoid creature that was now of the same height as the Stormbringer and grabbed its claw with its own one, using the other one to pin it to the ground with its sword, stabbing it of course.Roar*The monster roar
