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
System Beast Lord Chapter 48: Head Smasher Chuck
The cacophony of bullet storms and gun barrels spinning and whirring came to a stop after about six minutes.The work was done. No one needed to be told that they've accomplished what they came for.Eric let go of hold on the gun, whose barrel and muzzle was already blazing hot like live coals in a furnace, and surveyed the landscape.It was as though World War 1 passed through the area where the dungeon was.His ears rang softly from the noise that they caused.“We sure reeked havoc on these things, huh?” Nelson said, his expression solemn as he sat on the wall behind his weapon.“We sure did.” Eric replied, solemnly as well.Everyone was quiet for about two minutes taking in the results of their handiwork.Black viscous blood, grey flesh, decimated buildings and massive craters was all that covered the landscape.Eric looked up and say the dungeon display message in front of them.[4/10 Wendigo Spawners destroyed]“Let's complete this dungeon raid properly guys.” He finally said be
System Beast Lord Chapter 49: Evolution
They didn't bother with packing the bodies of the dead Wendigos and proceeded to just exit the dungeon. No one had the mental strength to start packing body pieces of a creature that would probably go for about 10,000 coins per body.“I'm starting to regret blasting these things to kingdom come. This is cool cash we're passing by.” Matt said in melancholy as he eyed the body pieces of the monsters.“Yeah sure. Only fodders like you would care for scraps. I'm definitely not interested in packing all of this.” Nelson spat hatefully as he walked, hands in his pocket.“Jeez, what's with the beef? Is it about that pistol joke?” Matt frowned and turned his attention towards Nelson who was walking in front of him.“Don't chat to me fam.” Nelson said sharply and hastened his steps slightly.Matt merely shrugged it off and they all kept walking.Chuck and Eric were the ones walking at the back of the cohort.“You defeated a dungeon boss single-handedly, well done bro.” Eric complimented him si
System Beast Lord Chapter 50: Jasmine Hela
Perhaps it was arrogance, perhaps it was confidence. The fact remained that they were eager to see what would actually try to trap them.They got to the base without checking the surroundings and just went about their normal after-raid routine; cooking, playing games, checking out the world chat and the leaderboard rankings as well as eventually resting for the day.“To be very honest, this is wrong. Very wrong.” Maric protested casually as he went through the shop items to see if there was anything worthwhile.“What is?” Amy asked, directing her attention to him.“I know we're all strong. Just more two grades to go and we would be regarded as Awakened Pinnacle entities. But I still think, we should take necessary precautions and not underestimate their group even if they are somewhat weak.” Maric explained himself as he continued scrolling through several items.“There's eight of them and this is the breakdown of their Traits.” Eric said on his seat with utmost seriousness.Everyone’
System Beast Lord Chapter 51: The Attack
Several hours passed and nothing came, even as it was nearly midnight. Eric had briefed them on the abilities of Jasmine's cohort so they were well informed.“I doubt if those bastards will show up, I'm too tired from the speedy advancement today. I’mma go sleep.” Nelson said before going to lay on his mattress.Eric nodded and started walking towards the door.“Yeah… I'll keep…” His voice stopped abruptly and a smile slowly found its way to his lips.There were holographic screens in front of him, his usual unique screen.[Analysis: The shadows are moving towards you. Be advised.][Analysis: A user of Stealth is dangerously close by. Be advised.][Analysis: You're being watched! Be advised.]“They're here.” Eric said with a calm voice, his face already neutral again.Everyone was on high alert but just as planned, they didn't behave as though they were expecting an ambush.He opened the door to see an arrow and an hatchet flying towards him. The arrow had an odd red glow around it wh
System Beast Lord Chapter 52: Void Walkers
Mark didn't recognise the weapon in his hand simply because it was disguised as a pair of jade green escrima sticks so he didn't fret much.‘What is giving these bastard this confidence though? He said something about me being a bad person too. What?’Eric couldn't help but wonder what was going on.The 10-foot giant swung his hammer at blurry speeds at Eric hopping to smack him away like a golf ball being hit.Eric launched himself into the air, totally avoiding the blow, before swinging one of his escrima sticks at Mark.However, it was a mere taunt. The swing wasn't meant to hit the target and it was even swung halfheartedly, without vigour or intentions.Mark was about to make a remark about Eric being sloppy but a concussive force smacked him on the side of his head, knockinhg him to the side and stunning him a bit.The wind generated from the half-hearted swing of the disguised Divine Smite was strong enough feel like an actual attack from Eric.Mark's nose and ears bled from th
System Beast Lord Chapter 53: Hold No Bars
“It really is them. Eric?” Amy said in disbelief, her ghostly blue blade shuddering, ready to reap souls.“You don't have to ask.” Eric said simply as the blue glow in his eyes intensified.After a moment, he nodded, having gleaned the necessary details from their profile.“Yeah… the important thing is that one of the is an Awakened Grade 2, four of them are on our level, three of them are Awakened Grade 4 and two of them Awakened Grade 5 with one of them being Jasmine.” Eric said, his hope renewed.Erica put on a scowl at the mention of that name.“Pretty basic shit. We can do this, we can cook these guys for real.” Nelson said, brandishing his trusty elbow long dagger that was blacker than night itself.“We'd have to go all out from start though. No holding back, no playing. This could very much cost us our lives.” Mr. Baker said, already covering himself and the cohort in an invisible forcefield.Just then, Eric's hairs stood on their ends as he forced himself to look up, an expres

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
