Subjugation Force 3

After fighting the Demons who ambushed our squad, a majority of the Subjugation members were exhausted. Majority of them hadn’t exerted themselves to that degree before, so it was only natural.

The adrenaline had already worn off, and many were beginning to feel the built-up tension surface. Since we had also been walking for quite some time, Adam made the right call for us to rest.

A select few, including Adam, went to pick up the Demon Cores that were scattered around. I would have liked to observe one and check the Skills hidden within the cores, but someone of my caliber wasn’t given access to the glowing stones.

‘There’s no need to rush… there are many more at our final destination.’ I reasoned.

As we took our break, water was distributed to everyone, but not food. Not only were we to manage our resources, but food would only weigh us down at this point. We would soon be on our way, anyway.

Even as I took my seat away from everyone, I could sense the tension in everyone’s hearts.

    An estimated amount of 500-700 Hobgoblins.Ever since I saw that the scout group of the Demons contained 50 of them, I already knew that the number of their main force would be vast.‘700 is too low a number… they should be even more.’ I reasoned.Back in my apartment, the amount of Hell Kobolds I faced was easily over a thousand. They would have kept increasing if I hadn’t killed the Boss.Since a Gate spawning demons would keep spitting them out, it was expedient to quickly kill the Boss in order to stop the outpouring of the demons.The problem was that even I didn’t know how long the Gate had been open. If it was during the same period as the Kobold Gate, then the Hobgoblins were sure to have reached thousands by now.‘How exciting!’ My mind rang.“W-what’s the good news, then?!” Someone finally burst out in desperation.The crowd was uneasy, and if Adam didn’t give them some semblance of hope, most would lose their will to fight.Adam noticed this and quickly attempted to raise t

    The desperate screeches of the Hobgoblins filled the air, as they called the rest of their comrades for help. Of course, since it was late at night, the entire force wasn’t going to move. They would most likely send a few of their forces to eliminate the threat. “I’ve killed over a hundred Hobgoblins already… with about thirty left. That’s approximately 150 Hobgoblins in this batch.” I muttered, staring at the survivors who glared at me. Taking their number into account, I could predict that the next group to come in response to their screams would be considerably larger since they had to eliminate someone that gave the previous team problems. ‘I should be expecting at least 300 extra Hobgoblins.’ My mind rang. The thought of this made me smile before I even noticed. My blood began boiling as my heart raced with excitement. ‘Yes… more… more enemies to fight!’ At that moment, my Skill expired, causin

I spared no expense in sending the Hobgoblins to oblivion. Using the weapons I possessed and the personal summoning at my disposal, I laid waste to the enemy Recalling and summoning my weapons again, the bodies of the Hobs became nothing but target practice which tore to pieces after countless stabs and slices.I didn’t allow my weapons to do all the work, though. With my sword in hand, I raced amid the enemies and began slashing my way through. Even with gone, I was still much faster and more than powerful enough.I dodged every attack they sent my way and twisted my body to deal deadly strikes at my foes. Swiftly moving my body, as I powerfully swung my arms, I locked on to the demon’s arms and legs, and when I was done

    ‘My Demon Cores!’Quickly realizing that I was in danger of losing either my identity or the drops of the prey that I slaughtered, my body went into overdrive.I hurriedly began to pick the Demon Cores, lightly tapping them and storing them into [Subspace]. This allowed me to take care of a hundred of them within seconds. Of course, since the Demon Cores were scattered, in some cases atop trees or at a farther distance from the rest, it took a lot of time to gather them all.“I think I see something over there!” A voice sounded from the direction of Adam’s approaching group.“Tch,” I clicked my tongue, working faster to finish taking my loot before the Camp members arrived at the scene.Fortunately, I concluded my task before they reached my location , and quickly jumped unto a tall tree to escape their sight. I climbed frantically, making sure to reach the top so that none of them could see me.‘Of course, it’d all be useless if one of them has a Gift that can sense me regardless of

    Daniel, Tasha, two scout members, and an additional comrade returned to the Base.They had left Dave and the others in charge of coordinating everyone in case Demons found their way into the base and attacked people. The Camp members were forced to be awake, and to be on their guard against the group of Demons they heard from a distance.Many were still drowsy, and since the environment was still very dark, even with the illumination of many lamps, they were at a disadvantage.Upon sensing movement within the cluster of trees that they faced, everyone became alert, tightening their grip on each of their weapons as they glared nervously at the suspicious location.The sounds became louder, and the rustle of leaves could clearly be heard by everyone, making their hearts beat more rapidly. Just as whatever was within the cluster began to make an entrance, the Subjugation Team Members all pointed their blades in its direction.“Relax, guys. It’s us.” Adam’s voice sounded, suddenly reveali

    Tasha continued reading the names on the list, and not long after, she was done.“It looks like everyone is still here. That’s a relief.” Adam remarked, giving everyone a genuine smile.This didn’t last very long, though, as his face darkened soon after. I could see it in his eyes, the hesitation, and anxiety. There were so many factors the Camp didn’t even realize were surfacing, and he had to compensate.“While investigating the sounds coming from deep within the woods, our team found some things,” Adam said, giving a nod to the two scouts behind him.They both stepped forward and brought with them a couple of spikes. The crowd was uneasy, but also curious. All they saw were spikes that had a brown appearance, with a purple-colored tip.“These are poisonous spikes. We found them stuck on trees and on the ground in the woods. There were many of these scattered around, but we only took a few back for investigation.” Adam reveale

    The next morning, everyone was forced to wake up early. I got up without much issue since I needed less sleep in my condition. Hearing groans and moans from those who slept around me, made me sigh in disgust.Leaving the tent first, I went to the gathering that was slowly forming as a result of Adam’s call.Not long after, the members began assembling, and in a few minutes, we were all present.“We begin our subjugation today! I know last night was unexpected, but I hope we all had enough sleep. If we didn’t, it’s time to shake off any semblance of drowsiness or hesitation! We’ll be undertaking the real deal!” Adam declared.Tasha was beside him as his assistant, looking stoic. It reminded me of how she used to act beside Charles back at the Camp.“We’ll have breakfast, freshen up, and prepare for the first phase of the plan.” The unenthusiastic response of the people ended the meeting, while those in charge of food

    In the quiet aftermath of the tumultuous ARMAGEDDON, I found myself standing at the precipice of a new reality. The remnants of the battle lingered in the air, and I could feel the residual power and (G) Essence coursing through the fabric of existence. As I gazed upon the aftermath, a solemn determination settled within me – a resolve to forge a reality free from the influence of both Demons and Gods.With newfound purpose, I raised my hands, drawing upon the remnants of power that swirled around me. As I concentrated, the very fabric of existence seemed to warp and bend to my will. The Demons and Gods, the Administrators of this chaotic universe, were to be left behind in the debris of ARMAGEDDON.In a surge of cosmic energy, I began to shape a pristine reality, one untouched by supernatural forces. The skies cleared, the land became fertile, and the seas calmed. I meticulously crafted a world where the laws of nature reigned supreme, untouched by the meddling hands of higher bei

    "Oh well, there's nothing else I can do…" Even if I was annoyed about the whole thing with Arthur, it was still a fact that he lost.Thanks to their emergency escape, the Pariah party missed their chance to challenge the Hidden Floor of the Tower Of Conquerors.Not only that, but their plan to use Leah and the others as hostages didn't work. They were in my [Subspace].'It's not like they matter to me at this point…'I could simply keep them as (G) Karma Point banks.Now that I could once again resort to farming (G) Karma from people, wasn't this the perfect opportunity to gain as many points as I could?'Ah, but I need quite the number of Points to advance to B Rank…'My Gift was currently in C Rank.

    The Final Bout

    What happens when a person keeps climbing the Tower?Yes, with each Level Up, wounds heal and the body is restored. However, mental fatigue is something that piles up. The strain a person has is something that gathers over time.The Rankers knew this quite well, so they all agreed to climb together. It was very obvious what they were planning on doing.—Letting the other person die!In this world, there were many ways to get stronger. It was also possible to use certain loopholes in the System—especially if one wasn't an Evil Aligned yet.Since the Rankers were in a Party, they must have been very certain of their Alignments, making them completely 'trust' one another.But, these things could be deceptive.Just as I managed to kill a bunch of people without a change in my Chaotic Neutral Alignment, the same applied to a lot of people—especially in a dangerous place like the Tower.As they fought monsters, it was certain that Rankers would get weakened. Then… if, by chance, some 'accid

The strong ones were about to reach Level 100, but I didn't expect anyone to have attained Level 150 talk-less 200.The Levels and Grades of the monsters climbed as one advanced through the Floors, and since the Towers had similar difficulty, I expected others to receive the same treatment I experienced.No one could have succeeded in that venture, but me. It wasn't pride… but reality!However…'Could it be.—?!'Perhaps it was something I failed to consider. I had always suspected it, but after the Tutorial ended and I kept a watchful eye on the Leaderboard, Auction, Tower Updates, and several other elements of this new world, my doubts were cleared.There shouldn't have been anyone else who was granted somet

    The Highest Ranks

    "Rise and shine, sleepy head." A voice greeted Abhoth as he opened his astral eyes.His vision blurred, but it only lasted for a moment.Soon, he could see everything around him. It was the exact scene he remembered before dying—the underground room where he was brewing his Elixir.Did he not die? Had he managed to survive?Countless thoughts lurked in Abhoth's ghost-like body… until he realized the fact… that he was in a ghost-like body.He nearly shrieked, seeing as he had a near-transparent form, and floated like a ghost. A purple aura emanated from him, and his body was incorporeal—well, nearly.He was made of energy, and he could even see his actual body—his corpse—lying on the ground.Abhoth didn't need a prophet to tell him that he was dead.'Ghost Magic…?!' His thoughts rang, and imaginary cold sweat broke out on his forehead.He was a ghost, so he couldn't really sweat.Still, Abhoth understood the implications of what had happened to him. As an expert in Magic, he knew of th

    The audience was astonished!Sweat fell from their brows and their bodies shuddered. Even though they were protected by the sturdy pink layer, none of them were immune to the chill that coursed through their bones.The group had thought they saw the full extent of the Masked Man's powers—or at least close to it. However, his current actions shattered their preconceived notion."I-impossible…""This can't be real… right?""I can't believe this… is he really human?""Masked Hero! You're so amazing!"They all had different ways of expressing their shock.For starters, the group didn't know how it was possible to clear the battlefield of corpses. They had seen so many dead bodies—like an insurmountable sea—yet, in an instant, the Masked Man cleared them all.It was a feat like none other.As if that wasn't amazing enough, a massive Dragon suddenly emerged from a dark cloud and soared into the sky. The Demon—a being that far surpassed anything they had seen up until that moment—charged bri

    There were many ways to win.I knew that from the get-go. I could use [Subspace] to shave off parts of the Dragon's body, reducing its health until it completely fell apart.I could use my purification to severely weaken it and blast the monster to kingdom come. An easy solution would also be to use the seventy-one Treasures OF War to impale the beast on all ends. If I added my Mana to them and increased their efficiency, the monster stood no chance.I could keep going on and on as to how I could win, but what was the point?Once in a while, a person needed some excitement in their life—I was no exception."COME!"My declaration prompted the Dragon Of Storms—or rather, what was left of him—to charge at me with frightening speed.>WHOOOOSSHSHHH

    The area around the beast was charred, and nothing but black, sooty grounds surrounding it. Impaling it were several weapons; ranging from spears to blades.They all looked very powerful and valuable.There were seventy-one of the weapons that pierced the monster's body… most likely what killed it.My eyes narrowed on the dead beast, and a wry smile appeared on my face. It now made sense why I sensed such powerful energy from beyond the gate back then.This monstrosity was the cause.Laid on the ground, surrounded by destruction and carnage was one of the most powerful races of Demons that existed.—A Dragon!Judging from the battle scene, I had a fair idea of what transpired here… at least what the narrative of this Floor was.A battle occurred, and the several races combined forces. They had a common enemy, and that was the fallen beast at the center of the battle. I had an idea of the difficulty if seven hundred thousand individuals ganged up on the creature.'It's at least a Grade

    I realized my childish body was too inefficient.In so many ways, the fact that I was below average in height and build was going to impede my future plans… which was why I decided to solve the problem.Using Lara’s Gift, now my Skill, I could shape-shift into any form I desired. However, it consumed Mana, and it also had a duration despite how much I maxed it out. Since I couldn't maintain it for too long, the ability was useless as a permanent solution.Scouring for a solution in the SHOP, I finally found my answer. It was a Potion known as the Perfect Growth Compound. After reading its description, I understood its function.The potion simply elevated whoever drank it to their ideal, most perfect physical state. As a result, it could take me to the peak I could ever attain physically.I was a little worried that I was going to remain short, but seeing as there was also a Reversal Potion being sold, I decided to take my chances.Who would have thought… it actually worked!I grew to
