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

“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
System Beast Lord Chapter 54: Abyssal Worm
The entire area was wiped out and wiped clean, the fodder amongst the ones hiding, utterly obliterated without traces.Eric also received a few skill points and XP from killing the tamed beasts in the surrounding area.An influx of messages flooded him because now, he had several high level and mid level beast type summons available to him.He sighed and inspected himself pitifully.His new tailsuit, that hadn't used up to a month, was in rags and burnt in several places.There were charred patches of flesh on his body as well, half of his face was marred and grotesquely burned with his teeth visible from the outside.Another message popped up in front of him, one he hasn't seen since his days as a low level Awakened.…[-50 Durability Points of Divine Smite.][Divine Smite Durability: 19950/20000]…“No doubt about it. That guy also had a Divine Smite in hand.” Eric muttered unintelligible. “It only makes sense that a Divine Smite would cut a Divine Smite.”“It also means that the ch
System Beast Lord Chapter 55: The Rift
Immediately they entered the rift, the dark clouds swirled violently as yellowish orange lightning streaked in-between them.Soon, buildings were starting to get rooted up from their foundations. Large chunks of earth the size of these buildings were also getting upheaved by the inverse gravity.The clouds soon took the form of a large maw. A large maw the size of the entire city.The entirety of post New York floated speedily towards the sky into the maw like cloud.Soon, everything under the all devouring cloud will be history.…His eyes fluttered softly as he rolled in his sleep. He was having the dream of his life, perhaps it's a beautiful dream.‘Eric’A solemn and ethereal angelic voice called out to him.He turned in his sleep.“Just five more minutes.” He muttered groggily.‘Eric’“Lemme… I wanna sleep.” He replied again, as he turned again.‘Eric!’The solemn voice was now more stern!He jolted awake and quickly sat up.“Where am I?” He asked himself.He scanned the surround
System Beast Lord Chapter 56: Mimicry
Dicing Touch was an active ability that encompasses the act of generating slices, deep lacerations or cuts, about four metres long and a meter deep, on anything that is being touched. About seven slashes or cuts can be generated at once and it stops working, so the user would have to retouch the target to start the ability again.Ferrous Hide was a passive ability that likened the skin of the user to a dense compacted metal. When made active, the skin morphs into a metal like surface and durability is increased by 10 points again. This makes the rats very durable.Pained Taunt was an active ability that dealt with sound. Just like its name it is used to goad or tease the target of the rats making them attack or fight without reason or instincts while amplifying their sensitivity to pain and discomfort. The more the pain inflicted on a taunted target, the more they lose reason and the more they're susceptible to having a mental shutdown.Cutting Edge was another active ability that the
System Beast Lord Chapter 57: Ungodly Presence
Eric chatted with his faction members for a few hours, describing where he was and so did the others. With that, they got the general situation and location of each other.It wasn't after a few more hours that Chuck, ‘Decay_Mandem’, texted the group, thinking he was the first to enter the chat only to meet more than two thousand messages there.Even after the chat session, Amy hadn't texted the group and they were already starting to worry.It was when he left the chat to the world chat that he noticed that the system had created a party chat group with the name, Rift.Eric entered it and saw that no one had texted the place.He then proceeded to drop just one message.…__________King_Noel: …__________…He then dismissed the chat feature entirely and surveyed his surroundings. Apart from the tall pine trees and weird shrubs on the ground, nothing graces it with life.“Imma just find higher ground.” He said to himself and looked at one of the pine trees, eyeing its height as though
System Beast Lord Chapter 58: General Situation
[I've helped you analyse the rift information and it is a vast land the size of a small country. It is also divided into several regions.]“Good. Thank you very much. Can you…err… can you chat on the Rift page?” Eric asked, half expecting the system to insult him about it being an AI system or something else.[Pfffft. I am the System! Of course I can chat on the Rift page…]Eric nodded again, pleased before the system interrupted him.[... However, I will do no such thing. I will only help you and the people with shared access to your exclusiveness.]“Shared access?” He blurted out almost immediately, in confusion. Then his expression warped to that of realisation.“I still haven't checked the details of this title that I got. Meh, after this meeting I will.” Eric shrugged casually.His expression then shifted to that of concern.[What?]“Can't we do a video call or a voice call or something? You know, like a live chat feature?” Eric suggested.[...]The system let out a tired sigh an

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
