System Beast Lord Chapter 40: Battle For Dear Life
“You said we should take care and fight the Imps with all seriousness, yet you pulverise them with your overpowered weapon. Why keep our hopes up?” Chuck asked, slightly displeased.Eric inhaled and exhaled softly, feeling an influx of XP into his soul. He nodded and looked at Chuck before patting him on the shoulder and looking away.“...” Chuck couldn't find his words, as he watched Eric turning his attention to the inner areas of the dungeon.“The boss will be here soon. Let's invest our skill points now. It would be a waste if we were to die knowing we could have done something to increase our chances of living.” Eric said with a soft smile.His soft smile faded when he saw his manna points;[MP: 2/490]He couldn't use the “divine punishment” enchantment on his weapon again till he replenishes his mana points bar, and he was all out of mana potions.He got quite a number of skill points compared to the rest of them and he was also on the verge of ascending to Awakened Grade 5 just
System Beast Lord Chapter 41: Demon Imp Captain
With a crudely replicated quick strike technique, Eric took down an imp by slicing its head diagonally.He was still reeling from the backlash when another imp came upon him.He swiftly placed his weapon before him to block but the force of impact of the imp's blow sent him flying straight into a building wall.Before he was up again, the imp was upon him, claws extended. Eric shifted his body to the side, barely avoiding the claws. He swiftly thrusted the ever shifting overpowered weapon, it was already taking the form of a dirk.With a wet sound of metal piercing flesh, the dirk found its way through the Imps chest and through its heart.His mana points had replenished up to 30 mana points and pumping the mana points into the weapon, the dirk exuded the annihilating energy contained within it into the body of the imp, nullifying its remaining life force.[You've received 1200 coins for slaying an Awakened Grade 5 Lesser Demon Imp.][+3 Skill Points][+3XP points][XP: 264/300]“Aft
System Beast Lord Chapter 42: From Frying Pan To Fire
The demon was surrounded on all sides by the cohort, ready to beat it up as though it wasn't a high level entity.Eric had mimicked the two Awakened Grade 1 he had encountered so far, Queen of Storms and World Serpent Hatchling, and he was ready to fight.His mana, however, was burning at a fast rate due to the mimicry of both entities. He was also going to be using the ‘Divine Punishment’ enchantment on his weapon, so in no time his mana reserves would be depleted.The entity growled and lunged at the weakest of them, Chuck, with aims to take him out first. That was when the cohort sprang into action, all of them.Eric and Amy dashed forward at crazy speeds towards the monster, weapons ready in hand.Chuck was also ready to face the creature, already taking a battle stance with his spiked mace.A forcefield wall appeared in front of Chuck just before the demon would hit him with its fist.The wall reverberated and cracked but it held steadfast.The demon was taken aback, clearly it h
System Beast Lord Chapter 43: Almost Self Sacrifice
The Demon Imp Captain let out an earth-rendering roar into the sky with all its might, casting fear and panic into the hearts of the cohort.Eric frowned, even amidst panic, and hurled the Divine Smite at the demon. The Divine Smite, now in form of a spear, soared through the air and made its way towards the demon.The demon completely evaded the spear by teleporting away from its trajectory.The demon wasn't so keen on killing them yet, as it wanted them to feel despair and hopelessness.It roared again, this time, firing a thin beam of hellfire into the sky. Its wings lit up and unfurled with force.The forceful unfurling gave rise to an hurricane of immolating hot winds that crumbled the buildings behind it.“We can't win. We can't win!” Chuck said hopelessly, dropping his mace. “It's over.”“We've come this far, only to end our journey here? No no no!” Erica shook her head, unwilling to accept the situation.Everyone was also starting to despair and fear slowly. No matter what abi
System Beast Lord Chapter 44: After The Raid
“You shouldn't scare us like that! At least tell us your plan before you do something like that.” Chuck scolded his friend.“Funny thing…” Eric chuckled sheepishly while scratching the back of his head. “... I never had a plan.”“That's all in the past now, we've done it. We successfully cleared the dungeon.” Amy said with a relieved smile.“Glad you're alive fodder. Wouldn't want you dead for any reason. After all, you still have some of my monster corpses with you.” Nelson said, ending the sentence with a tsk sound.He then walked forward a short distance and glanced back at his friends.“Even if it's just bones, I call dibs on the Awakened Grade 2 corpse.” Nelson said with a sly smirk.“No bloody way! I killed that thing so I'm taking it.” Eric disagreed and walked forward, feigning a threatening gait.“How did you survive that blast though?” Matt asked, walking forward towards them, caressing his index finger.“...” Eric opened his mouth and paused. He then chuckled softly.“What'
System Beast Lord Chapter 45: Abyssal Aura
The two groups squared each other down, tension rapidly building up between them.The space around Eric's hand flickered subtly, his head inventory ready to deliver his weapon to his hand instantly.Amy's amber eyes brightened little by little, ready to release her skill at a moment's notice.The air around Nelson's hand danced and undulated from the heat emanating from them.Maric's skin was already glistening, ready to release the silvery liquid metal.Erica breathed shallowly, a small layer of frost unnoticeably spreading across her hand.The air and light around Chuck seem to turn a bit grim as a visible frown lined his face.Mr. Baker was ready to project a forcefield around the cohort incase of necessity. His expression, undecipherable.Matt, however, had a white cybernetic Glock in his hands but he hadn't pointed it at the cohort opposite them.They stared each other down for about a minute, as though each side was waiting for the next to make the first move.“I'll ask you guys
System Beast Lord Chapter 46: XP Farming
Chuck dodged a strike from a beast and retaliated by striking it with his mace, bashing its head in.[You have received 450 coins for slaying an Awakened Grade 5, Lesser Wendigo.]The rest of them were also up and about in their slaying business.“I thought you were actually serious when you said we'd be resting for a week.” Amy said, slashing a Wendigo that came for her.The Lesser Wendigo's form bore an eerie and creepy resemblance to that of a human, with elongated limbs and a gaunt emaciated torso with a pale grey skin that seemed to have been stretched to the limit.Their hollow eye sockets contained a pale red flame, while its skull was crowned with jagged, twisted antlers that were adorned with rusted dangling coins attached to the antlers by thin metal strings.The dungeon surrounding was filled with a cacophony of small metal hitting each other as the Wendigos moved about.“Not necessarily. I think I'm just addicted to dungeons.” Eric replied with a casual expression, shootin
System Beast Lord Chapter 47: Massacre!
The tower was being constructed, in the presence of the Wendigos outside the barrier, with Maric's metal and reinforced with Erica's ice Trait.Soon, an ethereal tower stood erect at about 14 meters tall with a body that glistened with unnatural light. It had several openings in it with turrets and cannons placed by Matt, making the tower a proper siege tower. They had even added a metal-ice wall, that was as thick as that of a castle's, all round the tower. Currently, they were all on this wall inspecting the tower from the outside.“Yeahhhh. That's not normal.” Eric shook his head as he inspected the tower.“What?! That's probably my life's work, when next would you see me do something like this again.” Erica asked, almost flaring up.“Calm down. Don't get me wrong. It's good and sturdy, very sturdy. But an hybrid structure of ice and metal? Does that sound normal to you?” Eric clarified.“Oh.” Erica simply said, contemplating his question.“It'll have to do.” Maric nodded and looke

Chapter 95: Insidious Hunters
Matt, after dumping frag grenades into the forest haphazardly, proceeded to conjure several clones of himself and clad them all in a protective and flexible armour. Each clone wielded a futuristic rifle and they all numbered up to seven excluding the main body. One of the rewards he received from the system after the rift expedition was a Trait evolution from Armament Creation to Digital Constructs. This not only allowed him to conjure up otherworldly futuristic weapons but also digital clones, armours, shields and basically anything else. He's limited by his own imagination and mana reserves. The best thing about it was that mana wasn't expended to maintain his constructs. He only consumed mana when creating or fixing his constructs as the very existence of those constructs were free of charge. If he happened to dismiss any of his construct or if they happen to be destroyed, he will receive half or a quarter of the mana used to conjure that construct respectively. “I'm going to ne
Chapter 94: Let The Games Begin
The following day came very fast and they were all gathered at the mouth of the cave, all around Eric. “Let's not forget that there will be opportunities for duels and gangbangs in this event so it'll test your prowess and how well you know how to use your abilities. Afterall, everyone here is a pinnacle entity of the Awakened class.” Eric started addressing his people. “I'm counting on that duel of a thing. ‘Tis one of the reasons I'm doing this in the first place.” Nelson said with a smirk. “Of course it is.” Chuck mumbled under his breath with a somewhat exasperated expression. “Oh don't worry, Chuck. You're not my prime prey, you're just the subsidiary prey.” Nelson said, comforting him. “Doesn't matter, Eric warned us not to underestimate anyone though. I pray you underestimate me, Nelson.” Chuck said as his face adopted a soft yet grim smile. “You'd be in for a surprise too.” After he said this, he chuckled darkly for a few moments, garnering several looks from the te
Chapter 93: Preparations
“Is that supposed to even be possible? It hasn't even been a week.” Matt said with utter surprise. “Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for you, sincerely.” He quickly added and smiled. “So which one did you get?” “How about we let it be a surprise for you all. We haven't really consolidated our abilities ever since we were chased into the rift by that monster.” Eric stated with a soft smile and a raised finger. Everyone looked at Eric with suspicion and Nelson shook his head and sighed. “What do you have in mind, fodder?” He asked his friend. “I thought you said you wouldn't call him fodder again.” Chuck glanced at Nelson with a raised eyebrow. Nelson shot him a mean look causing Chuck to withdraw his gaze with a wry smile. “I propose that we have a free for all match, an all out duel with each other or some kind of capture the flag game with our powers being used.” Eric answered him with a smile. “What do you think? It's a way to let loose before something serious occurs again.” “I
Chapter 92: Right on Bermuda
“How's the hunt?” Erica asked the remaining members of the cohort that just arrived into the cave. “Futile. There are almost no animals or game in these woods.” Matt responded with frustration as he dismissed his shotgun construct, causing it to dissipate in a digital glitch-like manner. “Yeah, the forest was quite peaceful asides the occasional chirping of crickets and you know, normal forest ambiance.” Chuck added succinctly as he sat on a small rock and heaved a breath of relief. Chuck and Matt had gone out to search for food for the rest of the cohort while Maric and Mr. Baker went out to confirm where they were. “Nothing like I've seen before Eric.” Mr. Baker shook his head and sat down as he began recounting his scouting experience alongside Maric. Apparently they had gotten to land after the glacier and ocean current brought them here. And they got to this place on a misty night at the edge of a rocky cliff. “The forest on this part is quite normal, if I do say so myself.
Chapter 91: Exclusiveness
About two weeks had passed since the whole chaos of bounties ensued and the people now knew the consequences of their actions. The rewards of the bounties were automatically deducted from the one issuing the bounty, regardless of whether they had money or not. This has left many to be destitute in system currency and even many casually hunted. If one didn't know how to change appearance or hide from skills like Analysis and the likes, the hunted would not live a safe life. Following this development, as well, was the creation of several factions dedicated to bounty hunting and they have more or less ‘culled’ the useless bounties and claimed rewards for themselves, leaving the truly dangerous ones. Eric and co had finally reached land and it was a forest of some sorts, not too dense and not too sparse. They were currently residing in a cave, unsure of the next move they'll make. Amy and Nelson, especially Amy, were despondent about the fact that they lost something valuable that day
Chapter 90: Let The Chaos Reign
Everyone was adrift above a massive glacier, despondent and drained of all emotions and strength. There was an active ocean current propelling the glacier towards an unknown direction. Amy was still asleep and Nelson’s condition had stabilised due to his self-regeneration but it was still far from optimal. “What do we do now?” Chuck asked with a serious tone, seeing that Eric was just staring at the horizon where Jasmine and the man left for about six hours. “Cut it out, Necromancer. Let him process his thoughts and talk at his own leisure.” Matt refuted Chuck and shook his head. ‘He’s probably regretting keeping that girl alive back then.’ Matt mused internally before shaking his head. Countless moments of silence passed and Eric finally stirred, clenching his fists. The first light of day was just appearing from the horizon, painting it with a tint of surreal orange hues. Erica stood up from her spot on the glacier and walked towards her brother in hopes to get through to him.
Chapter 89: All For Nought
Both of them withdrew, leaving a distance of at least 25 metres between them, while panting and sweating profusely. ‘Two for the price of one. That's Karma for you, you bastard!’ Eric cursed internally before cracking a smile. “Abyssal Aura huh?” The man gauged the stone in his hands briefly before stowing it away in his inventory. After a moment's deliberation, he smiled and said; “Given the fact that it's from you, King Noel, it is utterly valuable. And Theft never lies, this is the heaviest skill you have and by the looks of it, you haven't even used it yet.” He then chuckled and rambled on, “I presume it's what makes you you and it is greater than the Samsara inheritance you possess. My mission here is complete, I even had some bonuses as well.” ‘Yeah, keep d*ck-riding yourself. Theft just got scammed by a higher skill, I'm the MC, you bastard. I'm Him! The Exclusive One!’ Eric chanted internally, his glee and happiness was immeasurable. Contrary to his feelings, his face w
Chapter 88: Karma and Fraud
Mr. Baker stretched his hands forward and encompassed the unconscious Amy in a forcefield bubble, quickly taking her away from the man’s presence. The man didn't bother stopping him because he had gotten what he wanted from her. Even if he wanted to stop them from taking her away, he might fail in doing so and it might prove fatal for him due to Eric's unstable state. “Is she alright?” Chuck came over and inspected her. Everyone also gathered around her in concern. Matt frowned his face and shook his head. “Although it's not Analysis, my Vital Vision is detecting an anomaly in her body. It's like a void or a vacuum in her essence-body.” Matt explained and deactivated his skill before adding succinctly. “Asides this, she's alive.” Erica pursed her lips, placing the back of her hand on her forehead. “She's… feverish. Dammit, what did that bastard do to her?” Erica cursed, an out-of-character behaviour because she was upset. “Two people should stay with Nelson and Amy while the
Chapter 87: Samsara Frenzy
Eric watched with trepidation as the blackened hand of the man pulled a brightly glowing golden gemstone from Amy’s chest.It wasn't that he plunged his hands physically into her chest, rather, his skill allowed him to directly come in contact with all the essence of his target as well as all the various constituents within that target.It was putting your hands through a lake and pulling out whatever was inside. Basically, the heavier it was, the more valuable it seemed within the target.Amy was currently unconscious, held up by the man's grip on her neck and oblivious to whatever was going on.“Erica!” Eric called out to her twin, who swiftly responded.She came over and took Nelson from him while Eric ran forward insanely fast to take Amy from the hands of the man.The two other clones have been dispatched with one crumbling totally into decaying flesh and putrid blood and darkened pus-like substance while the other was totally obliterated and mauled by Maric's weapons and Matt's
