The sudden tremors of the ground and the building shake the team Tejasv to their cores. The disturbance had distressed and agitated their hearts. Each one of them bent while shielding their heads as a reflexive action to save themselves.

The team's reaction was understandable given the shaking resembled a fairly severe earthquake. Some of the rubble of the building even fell around them, and the fear of the whole building falling on their heads gradually crept into their hearts.

Tejasv, still in the same position, scrunched his eyes and attempted to glance at his team's positions to check their situation. To his relief, none of them had any injuries, at least until now.

Suddenly the shaking intensified as if the vibrations were passing them by and going somewhere else. The whole team kept their mouths shut since they still had no idea of the cause of this intense earthquake.

Everyone kept their heads down, and Catherine, on the other hand, tightly held Salina in her arms to keep her a

    Tejasv moved forward, and his team followed him from behind. Their pace was normal—neither too fast nor too slow—and as Tejasv checks the surroundings, he signals his team to proceed.He first rolled his eyes everywhere and then stepped since his brow was wet, and he sweated profusely. Even his team could feel their pressurized situation from behind. The eerie silence of the atmosphere intensified the threat even more.Although none of them could feel any hostility or killing intent towards them, the situation was rather chilling to their bones. Everybody felt the sweat recycling down their spines with a sudden, threatening chill.The whole team escaped from that alley and moved to a broad street. Although the current broad road may appear to be better than before, Conversely Tejasv frowned on this development because the larger the area, the greater the possibility of greater monsters charging at them with the slightest notice.He checked the area for any terror and called everyone a

    Tejasv and his team marched forward, despite the noise of the screech they heard just moments ago. Neither of them had any hesitation, even after they understood the situation could be threatening to them.Without hesitation or retaliation, the team resumed following their leader's orders. Although the team members had some fear deep in their hearts, with numerous assumptions or thoughts such as "what monsters are out there screeching in pain?" or "Is the fight ahead between monsters or humans and monsters?"While these thoughts lingered in the back of their minds, their main focus remained the path ahead, and their gaze was fixed on the robust back of their leader. Even the sweat on their brows continued to accumulate with each passing second.Tejasv abruptly stopped everyone with a dominant hand gesture and a clenched fist. It meant that everyone else should stay put while Tejasv checked the area ahead of them.He made this decision after noticing something on the next curve of the

    The staff wielder and the spearman held their weapons in a firm stance. They stood in contact with each other's backs while pointing their weapons at the spiders. Even when the spiders encircled them, none of them shuddered.Tejasv noticed those two scrutinizing the situation for any loopholes in the spider's encirclement. Because they were already in a dangerous situation, only a fierce fight could save their lives.Therefore, those two resolved to fight the spiders and retreat safely and alive. They took a stance and raised weapons while swirling around to keep the spiders away from attacking them abruptly.Their position and stance resemble those of a honed warrior rather than an amateur, hence even Tejasv was eager to watch this fight to the end. Tejasv was very interested to see if these two could smash and dominate the monsters all by themselves or may require aid.He kept watching stealthily, with some distance between them but not much to keep him in range for some action if r

    The two-robed people stood in a formation where the spearman took the front line and the person wielding the staff had the rear position behind him. The spiders glared at him and prepared to charge or defend; it was confusing for Tejasv to infer their intentions.However, not only the robed fighters but even the spiders were prepared to ram into the robed person with all their strength, using the numbers advantage. Within seconds, the spiders had charged over their opponents.Tejasv grinned as he noticed the spiders restarting the brawl. Some of them threw web from their rears; they must be giant spinnerets. Their thrust of the web was abrupt and swift, with no gap like a cannon.The two robed warriors hopped and dodged the attacks, but their movements got halted by another series of attacks along with those webs. The next attacks were the spider limbs raining on those two.One of those limbs somehow grazed the two fighters and misbalanced their formation. Although the spider attacks

    After a few more clashes between the robed men and the spiders, the battle became overwhelming for the robed fighter. However, when Tejasv concluded that the fight was out of control for the robed men, he noticed something baffling before him.Suddenly the battle began to take a turn for the robed men, and this sudden turn of events astounded Tejasv. He had no idea how the robed overcame the fight and even balanced the clashes between them and the spiders.A few seconds ago, when the battle was on the spider's side, the spearman still held on for longer than anyone could have estimated. He fended off most of the attacks directed at him and his companion while dodging the rest.Although his teammate, the staff wielder, wasn’t participating much in the fight, at least he narrowly dodged every attack on him and didn’t give any more headaches to his partner fighting on the frontline.While the staff wielder's actions appeared commendable, it was the least he could do for the sake of his p

    The fight between the robed men and the spiders intensified in those moments. None were intimidated enough to back off from the clutches of their enemies. The spearman and the staff wielder were resolved to fight to the end, while the spiders also seemed agitated and enraged.After the sudden shaking and dismayed behavior of the spiders, the robed men began to attack repeatedly, taking advantage of the timing. The spiders, on the other hand, still hadn’t calmed and leveled their brains.The spiders could only defend and counter some of the strikes on them with pure instinct rather than strategy; even after such a struggle, their loss seemed imminent since none of the robed fighters were eager to let go of their dominance in these moments.Tejasv noticed some minor differences between the clashes of both sides as the staff wielder and spearman engaged more thoroughly. He noticed the spiders gradually countering the attacks on them with more strength and power than earlier.The charges

    Tejasv knew many people similar to him might be interested in this battle for either intel or entertainment could be around, hiding stealthily and watching everything from a distance. If such people regard this pair of robed fighters as a threat, they may strike in the worst possible situation for the robes.Therefore, it would be better for the robed fighters to stay on guard not only from the spiders or other monsters but also from their surroundings. They could be encircled by a large group of humans by the time this fight ends.Because these scenarios may occur often in the current world, one should never discard all the options and threats that surround them. Tejasv was one of those people who weighed every situation in his mind before diving into it.So he still kept himself firmly in his position without any intervention or adrenaline rush running through his hot blood. As he focused back on the fight, he found many new and strange things occurring at many severe moments of the

  • Supreme Territory System   Battle end!

    Tejasv only gazed at the scenario while clenching his fist since he was baffled by this battle’s ending that he never expected such a way. The land slipped past his foot when he witnessed the spearman smashing the spiders into shattered pieces all around the place.Tejasv never expected the spearman could have such an intimidating and dynamic skill up his sleeve. This sudden change in battle made him realize once again how different this world was from what he once knew.The skills and everything else, such as weapons or other items, may be backed by many people out there. One such highly skilled person was standing before him, pummeling his foes with sheer strength.Not only was the spearman skilled, but Tejasv was even more curious after witnessing the staff wielder make strange movements throughout the fight. He understood why both of them took strange decisions at unexpected moments.Although Tejasv had a vague understanding of the spearman's skill, he still had no idea about the

    Tejasv and Daemon both had aloof and nonchalant expressions on their faces as if nothing of concern happened in those few fractions of seconds when some arrows took out those fearsome monsters with ease.Noticing the piercing gazes of the robed duo, Tejasv waved his hands to them smoothly with a soft yet incomprehensible smile. He steps forward towards the duo with his arms relaxed, to drop the tensions in the ambience.The robed duo unaware of the situation cautiously took a stance and firmly fixed their weapons to strike back if necessary to which Tejasv didn't respond either positively or rebelled. He knew his team may seem suspicious to an outsider in such a bloody and ruthless world.On the other hand, Tejasv considered the behaviour and comeback of the duo normal and even better than some blinded people, who would regard others as a saviour after only first glance. To be prepared and counter, these are the basics to survive in most circumstances.Tejasv reigned his steps a few

    Snipers of Tejasv

    The robed duo kept an eye on Tejasv to see which direction he was pointing at the snipers. They had their eyes widening at Tejasv’s figure, who was standing still and peering at the robed duo themselves.His eyes weren’t wavering or watching somewhere else, as if his men were around everywhere, prepared to trample them at any moment. The robed duo were shocked by what was happening in front of them.When the robed duo couldn't notice any changes in the area and no one came out from anywhere, they began to be perplexed, and their inner turmoil heightened even more as the seconds passed.Suddenly, when the robed duo rolled their eyes to scrutinise their surroundings, they noticed two silhouettes walking toward them from afar. For starters, they mistook those two for members of another party rather than Tejasv and Daemon's snipers.The only reason for that could be the number of people approaching them and the distance they were from them. It was difficult for the robed duo to imagine th

    Tejasv, after a momentary contemplation in his head, blurted out while scrutinising the robed duo. He said, "What is it, now, about that strange behaviour of the spider?"The robed duo stood silently and shook their heads without any word from their mouth. The one with the manly voice stepped up and conversed, "Not here!" He hinted about the surroundings and resumed, "This place is too open for us to talk about anything!"Tejasv’s eyes widen, and a taunting smirk gradually creeps onto his face. He realised the robed duo were wary of the snipers, whom they presumed to be guarding the safety of Tejasv and Daemon from somewhere hidden around the area.Tejasv, on the other hand, remained silent and only glanced at Daemon; both of them understood the robed duo's intentions and concerns. Because Tejasv and Daemon might kill both of the robed men once they have the information they require, they wanted to relocate to a safe and well-known location.Aside from these concerns, Tejasv also saw t

    In the end, Daemon finally ended the misery of the spider with his wild and broad muscles. He gradually stood back on his feet and relaxed his breathing while calming his drained state from this sudden, extensive labour.Then he looked to the front and saw Tejasv standing there with a slight distance and a wide gaze fixed on him. Tejasv was peering at him, while the former responded similarly and paused in those moments.Tejasv even had his eyes slightly wet from the last state he remembered Daemon lying before him. He appeared to be dying at any moment because the spider was about to go into a complete frenzy to eliminate him.However, his friend appeared in front of him after counter-eliminating the monster in a frenzy for him. Daemon also had similar feelings leaking from his eyes because he knew what he experienced, and Tejasv just saved him in the nick of time.Both had enough to say, but not even a word was coming out of their mouths. Tejasv and Daemon both nod and step towards

    As the battle between Tejasv and the spider continued with Salina’s backing of arrows, the pressure on the monster intensified from the number game played by Team Tejasv with their vigorous strength.Gradually, Tejasv and Salina’s attacks withered the exoskeleton of the spider. It even fell to the floor with no chance to retaliate against those two. When the spider realises it has no choice but to overthrow this situation, it lashes out in a frenzy.The spider swings the rest of its limbs with ferocity and abruptness while thrashing them all over. Its intentions were clear: to land some heavy blows on Tejasv since it had no other plan but to dash away from this situation.Another cause behind such trancelike behaviour could be defending itself from the incoming barrage of arrows. The spider must have thought that by moving around in unpredictable ways, it could avoid the arrows and prevent the archer from marking the spider.However, the spider had no clue about the skill of the arche

    Tejasv and Salina had a short conversation when Salina enhanced her skill to a better one, which was able to use the features of both [search] and [chaser strike].That was the moment to mechanise the way Salina may use the skill, which should handle the use of this skill more appropriately and better than Sally. As a result, Tejasv and Salina talked things out, and Tejasv then suggested a method to her, which elevated her talent as a sniper to new heights.Tejasv suggested to Salina that she may aim for a target and mark him with her skills. Then he asked her to act differently than Sally. Tejasv instructed her to strike her arrow in a different direction rather than releasing it to the target she had targeted with her skills.Because her ability would direct and hover the arrow on its own, it will take a curve and strike the target with a different path after releasing the arrow. Even if someone tried to find the location of Salina, these events would lead to a different origin poin

    As the spider began to repeatedly attack Tejasv, Catherine and Salina were rather a in relief since Daemon was now out of danger for a few moments, but when they realised Tejasv had no weapons in his arms, they were frightened.Whether the spider was in his straight head or not, its attacks were enough to paste a human with a single blow on the right mark. Tejasv was in definite danger because he had nothing to fend off the strikes of the spider.Not only that the spider was somewhat in a hurry to end Tejasv, and because of these reasons, it used every ounce of strength within him to stomp him on the floor when facing no resistance from him.The spider gradually realised that Tejasv had nothing with him that could threaten or halt its aggression toward him; therefore, the spider was now on a killing spree for Tejasv. It cackled in rage and resumed attacking Tejasv.However here, Catherine, and Salina, along with the robed men, could see Tejasv wisely moving in Daemon's opposite direct

    Salina, when she got a permit from Catherine, aimed for the spider’s front legs since its head and the rest of its body was covered by a tough armoured exoskeleton. She intended to put an end to the spider's frenzy of pursuing Daemon.She shot another arrow for the next limb of the spider as soon as she marked it and invoked her skill while releasing the arrow to definitely stop it in that position and give Tejasv more time in that strenuous task.When those arrows struck the spider, it became stuck in that position because two of its limbs, which had previously allowed it to crawl toward the Daemon, were rendered useless by the arrows, which appeared out of nowhere and attached to the floor.Tejasv sighed with relief and smirked slightly. He was drenched in sweat from the intense and laborious task he had taken over. He had to pull a monster whose mouth had been salivating over a certain target.Tejasv tensed every muscle in his body in an attempt to stop the spider from moving any f

    The agitated and perplexed ones were not only team Tejasv but also the robed duo. Though they had no dismay for the spider’s strange actions, they had more concern for Tejasv and his companion, Daemon, who was in a hopeless state.When Dameon fell and faced a sudden attack from the spider, they lost all hope of him surviving, regardless of whether Tejasv intervened or someone else struck the spider, because the monster was intent on eating Daemon whether anyone approached him or not.When they least expected it, Tejasv not only disturbed the spider’s balance but also leapt before it to rescue his friend from the spider’s clutches. Tejasv threw Daemon back and stood in his position in these circumstances.Anyone with such a trained body and mind could assess the situation and its severity. The robed duo agreed that the spider's fangs on Daemon would inevitably bite Tejasv instead and that Tejasv could've known about it before jumbling into the fray.Even then, Tejasv leapt to rescue hi
