"Are you crazy? If you think this is some kind of game, then stop it. Do you really think you can take out fifteen of them at once? There's no fighting this time. I'll stay here until they pass, and then we'll move on," Shota replied, annoyed that Rigel wasn't taking their current situation seriously.Rigel chuckled when he heard what Shota had just said, but said nothing. He chose to remain silent, for actions speak louder than words.'If only he knew how weak these beasts are against me,' he thought and chuckled again.After the group of Cataclaws had passed, Shota came out from his hiding place and picked up his pace.Although he didn't know where he was going, he had an inexplicable certainty that he'd find shelter.As far as his eyes would go, he could see broken buildings and large rocks. This sight gave him some hope that he'd find shelter.In a way, these rocks helped him. They served as a good hideout when beasts approached.So far he hadn't encountered any other beast except
Instead of going to class, Nicole made her way to Erix's room.When she got there, Rin was still asleep. What woke him up was her knocking."Hey, what are you doing here so early in the morning?" Rin asked in a sleepy voice, still lying on his bed."Are you serious right now? Seven in the morning is early, really?" Nicole articulated, shocked."Wait, seven?!" Rin exclaimed, jumping down from his bed."Oh, no, I didn't know it was seven already. Usually, Erix wakes me. Now he isn't here, I overslept. Give me a few minutes, I'll get ready quickly."With those words, Rin hurried into the bathroom, leaving only Nicole in the room.After Rin left, Nicole quietly walked down to the table in the corner of the room and grabbed the water bottle that was sitting up there.As she was in a rush, she had forgotten to drink water after having breakfast in the cafeteria that morning.Opening the bottle, she gulped down the entire contents in one gulp.Then she went to Erix's bed and lay down there.
"I volunteer for this operation!" Leo firmly blurted out.Everyone at the table turned to look at him when he said that.In any case, they weren't surprised to see Leo volunteer easily. Except for the head general, he was someone everyone respected because of his strength.Even the generals there, although they were too proud to admit it, had great respect for Leo.Why? The reason was simple. Leo was strong, and not only was he strong, but he was also someone who was not easily swayed.He was just as strong as the generals, even a little stronger.Although he was only a sergeant, most generals in the base respected him and would always avoid being on his bad side. As for his co-sergeants, they dared not to mess with him, and sometimes they even respected him like a general, even though he had the same rank as them.But Leo did not care about those things. He only does what he thinks is right and pays due respect to the higher-ups.Seeing that no one opposed Leo's proposition, Gen. Ryk
"Wait, Shota?! What the hell are you doing here too!!!" Orah exclaimed, shocked.Startled, Shota turned around to fight, thinking it was a beast, but then, he saw a humanoid figure with bat-like wings.And as soon as he saw that, the first thought that popped into his head was that it was a humanoid beast, but he dismissed that thought because humanoid beasts couldn't speak. However, it was still a possibility, so he didn't act completely lax.The planet was quite dark, so he couldn't see the figure's face clearly."Stay back! One more move and you'll regret it!" Shota barked as he began to slowly back away."How the hell do you know my name and who are you?! Make yourself known right now!" He further added."Are you crazy, Shota? It's me, Orah. Don't tell me you don't recognize me. Did coming to this planet mess with your head, hehe…" Orah said jokingly as he carefully flew closer and closer to Shota until he landed five meters away from him."What, Orah? What are you doing here?" Sho
Without waiting for Shota's response, Orah entered the air.He went higher and higher until he was no longer visible and was obscured by the dark clouds of the planet. But even then, he still had the humanoid figure in his sight and didn't take his eyes off it for even a second."If that's Erix, then our problem is half solved. We just have to find a way to get back to Earth, easy enough, right?" Orah muttered as he flapped his wings a little faster to increase his speed....Erix decided to take a break after several hours of walking. He spotted a small rock at the corner of his path. After scanning the arena, he decided to rest on the rock since there was no beast in sight.Although it was a bit strange to see a rock in the middle of a barren field, Erix didn't think much about it. He simply walked towards it."This planet is really boring, what do you think, Lena?" Erix spoke out as he sat down on the small rock.'What can I say, it's indeed boring. Unless you want beasts to keep yo
On the other side of the planet, far from the area where the battle between Erix and the Skystone was to take place, Shota would be seen sitting on the roof of a ruined building, talking to himself.Apparently, he was talking to himself, but that wasn't quite. He wasn't talking to himself, he was talking to Rigel."So you really saw that? You know, you're an idiot," Shota said, a little annoyed.'Huh? What did I do wrong?' Rigel asked, confused.So far, he hadn't misbehaved or done anything absurd. He had only told Shota about the image flashes he had been seeing lately, but right after he told him everything, Shota called him an idiot."Because you didn't tell me about it earlier, you're an idiot," Shota retorted, frowning.'Oh, c'mon, we've already talked about it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Still, that doesn't change anything, so why are you still annoyed?'"Did you remember anything else?" Shota asked, changing the topic.'Nope. What I told you was the only thing I saw. I didn't
[Quest failed]Erix wanted to cry out in frustration when he saw this message, but he managed to hold himself.He had missed the kill. Orah slaughtered the beast before he could even launch an attack.This was frustrating, but what could he do? He lost the exp and could not do anything about it.Looking at Orah, he could see a pleased look on his face. Orah was pleased that he had finally killed the beast that had been bothering them without knowing that someone had lost something important because of his actions.'It's not his fault. Don't punch him in the face with that look. He is completely innocent. It's you who is slow and dimwitted,' Lena interjected, which upset Erix even more.'You are really good at pissing one off,' Erix hissed, annoyed."Thank Goodness, we finally killed that pesky thing," Orah gloated as he approached the body of the Skystone, from which a green liquid was still gushing.As soon as he arrived where the body was lying, he knelt beside it and tore it open. H
"May I know why you need the teleporter? At least I have the right to ask you that question, don't I?" Gen. Ryker asked with a conflicted look on his face.He wanted to know why Quito needed a teleporter because it was anomalous that someone bypassed other good things and requested only a teleporter."I don't think you have the right to ask that question, sir. Just fulfill my request and we're good. Other than that... I don't think I should remind you," Quito said, smirking wryly.Then he leaned back with his arms crossed and made himself comfortable in his seat.Even more comfortable than the actual owner of the office.Gen. Ryker's expression twitched when he saw the smile on Quito's face. He had the urge to punch Quito in the face and shatter his bones, but he managed to control himself as that would be counterproductive.He had never been so humiliated in his entire life. For a General who had encountered many powerful and important people, he hadn't felt as helpless as he was no

In the fifth city of the planet of demons, the darkness was absolute. The only source of light was the dimly red light coming from the sky. Amidst this eerie atmosphere, a young lady could be seen walking down the street. Her long red hair fluttered in the chilly wind as she made her way to her destination.The demons on the streets recognized her instantly. She was none other than Tania, the famous saintess of the tenth city. Her reputation preceded her, and the demons knew her for her unparalleled strength and her unwavering respect for the demon laws. They were surprised to see her walking down the street of the fifth city at this hour, and they couldn't help but wonder what brought her out of her abode.As Tania walked past them, she maintained a cold and expressionless face. Her demeanor was as stoic as ever, and it was impossible to guess what was going on in her mind. She continued walking, lost in thought until she finally arrived in front of a modern and decent bungalow.Wi
Lord Julian led Erix, Shota, and Orah up a grand staircase to the second floor of his regal mansion. The walls were adorned with paintings of famous battles and landscapes. Once they reached the top, he turned and gestured towards a door on the left."This will be your room," Lord Julian said. "I hope it'll suffice for your stay here."When they entered the room, they admired the room.The furniture was made from the finest wood on the planet and decorated with intricate engravings. There was a large three-poster bed, a vanity table with a mirror, and a fireplace to keep them warm during the colder nights.Shota nodded with admiration "It's habitable. Not bad."Orah examined the room carefully, old habits from his training, and started to make a list of any potential security risks. When he was finished, he said, "It's perfect. Better than that crappy rubbish from earlier."Lord Julian noticed the absence of Scott and raised an eyebrow. "Where is the servant goblin? Did he not wish to
The ruthless demon towered over the cowering goblin, its eyes glowing red in the dim light of the forest.The goblin had lost all of his comrades in the battle that had been raging for minutes and was now at the mercy of the demon that had led the attack."Please, spare me," the goblin pleaded, his voice trembling with fear. "I surrender."The demon let out a deep, thundering laugh. "Very wise of you, little goblin," Orah growled. "You have made the right choice. I will let you live. But there are consequences."Instead of killing the goblin, however, the demon did something unexpected. He looked the goblin straight in the eye and muttered words in a language the goblin did not understand.Suddenly, the goblin felt a strange sensation coursing through his body. He paled, but at the same time, a strange sense of loyalty blossomed within him. He looked up at Orah with wide eyes and suddenly realized what had just happened."You... you manipulated my mind just like your friend did with Ro
Erix heaved a sigh when he heard what Orah said. Orah had deliberately spoken of the rebellion to give him no choice but to agree with his words, and it had really worked.Definitely, they wouldn't let the goblins go after learning of their plan for fear of being exposed. Nevertheless, that doesn't mean they must kill the goblins to silence them. There are other ways to silence them without actually killing them.As much as Erix had the urge to kill the goblins for the sake of exp, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to gain loyal servants who undoubtedly would bring more benefits than just the immediate gain of exp.Thus, instead of complying with Orah's appeal, he acted differently."No, we won't kill them. They'll be useful to us if we have them as servants. I don't want us to waste them by killing them," Erix told his friends."How are we going to tame these losers anyway? Why don't we kill them now to save ourselves the trouble of doing that in the future?" Shota spoke up, soun
Erix and his friends delved deeper and deeper into the forest as they talked to relieve their boredom.However, that was only until they came upon a group of seven goblins, armed to the teeth.They stopped a short distance away from the goblins before they were seen.The goblins carried spears, bows, arrows, and many other vicious weapons."What should we do now? Go back?" Orah asked in a very low tone."These guys are armed. They are not like any other goblins we have encountered so far. Maybe we should leave before they see us," Erix asserted. In his opinion, he found it pointless to waste their strength fighting the goblins."Come on, it'll be fun to fight these losers. Only I can take them out at once," Shota said with excited eyes. However, seeing that none of his friends reciprocated this enthusiasm, he sighed and said, "Fine, if that's what you want, then... Ahhh!!!" Shota cried out and jumped up in startlement.A few seconds later, a rat ran out from under the ground where he h
In the portal room inside military base two, a purple opening appeared from which five soldiers emerged.The soldiers were the military team that had gone to look for the students who had gotten lost inside a beast planet. However, they had returned empty-handed, believing that the students were no longer there.They saw it with their own eyes as the students dissolved into red, invisible dust."Everyone, except Leo, can go back to their domains and rest. I'll report to the General Staff with Leo," General Stanley announced shortly after they arrived.They all nodded and went on their way. But all of them except Leo.General Stanley looked at Leo and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this? Roaming about Camuti alone is dangerous, you could even die there."Although he was always envious of Leo and his impeccable way of doing things, he didn't wish him death.Leo's face was cold and expressionless. He only nodded but said nothing."If you say so. Just know that you don't have to kill
Josh was a little startled when he heard that. He didn't know why, but Erix's words made him anxious and frightened. He tried to put up a calm facade, but that immediately crumbled as Erix approached him.Erix walked towards him calmly and with a cold expression. He didn't look excited or angry.'But he's only human,' a thought popped into Josh's head. 'What if this is only a technique to intimidate and disorient you? He may have super healing, but he's not invulnerable to death, so be smart. Kill him when you get the chance.'Josh's courage immediately picked up as this thought crossed his mind.He got into a fighting stance and laughed nervously, "Come on, little human. You can't scare me."Erix chuckled when he heard this. He pronto activated his light wing boots and transported himself behind Josh, invisible as a bullet."How about now, are you afraid of me?" Erix asked in a whisper, chuckling. He wasn't attacking Josh yet. He just wanted to scare him a little.Josh was terrified
