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
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
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
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
[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
Nelson sat at the edge of the mesa, looking at the vast sandstone desert beneath with a forlorn expression.He had just left the call that Eric initiated and he was waiting patiently for the quest Eric had told them about.‘Can he really give quests? How special can this guy be?’Nelson pondered as dry winds blew past him, causing his red hair to sway in it.He soon saw a system screen pop up in front of him.…[[Quest from King_Noel to Imp_Mauler]][Quest Name: Conquer the Lizard of the Endless.][Quest Description: Sup Nel, I'll go straight to the point. The name of the place you're in is called the Desert of the Endless, sounds familiar yeah? Anyways, I don't know where you are currently but you'd have to make your way to a ruined desert temple and retrieve the core of the Lizard of the Endless. You need it to come to where I am. That's all you have to do. Also, don't look at the sky when the broken space shards start to align themselves rightly. This is the signal that day is brea
He didn't receive any response from his taunting shout, making him furrow his brows.“Ahhh…” Nelson groaned in frustration. “I don't want to enter that place though.”Nelson gritted his teeth and conjured a ball of flames.“Obby, lead the way.” Nelson looked back towards the black lizard behind him and put on a smile.The lizard let out a grunt and walked forward in a zigzag fashion like a proper reptile.Nelson grimaced and shook his head at the sight. He was never really fond of reptiles… not that he was afraid of them though.The interior of the temple was extremely dark and its sandstone walls were lined with murals, writings and strange symbols.Nelson, naturally, wasn't an inquisitive and curious person so he didn't bat an eye to the inscriptions on the wall.“Obby wait.” Nelson called out to the lizard.The fireball that illuminated the hallway, where they walked, tripled in number with one going forward and one going behind them.“Watch my six, Obby.” Nelson said, his tone gri
The two energy forms collided but of course the singularity had the upper hand. The massive car-sized black hole sucked both the white flames and its corresponding detonation and explosion into oblivion as the singularity continued on towards Nelson. He couldn't defend against a singularity but he could always avoid it.Nelson snapped his fingers causing a wisp of flames to instantly appear above the lizard and he disappeared in a flurry of flames, appearing above the lizard in another flurry of flames where the wisp had been.In that moment, he had achieved Pyroportation; the ability to teleport using flames.The singularity hit the chamber wall and ate through it as it continued its advance without impediments, leaving a large smooth hole in the wall.The entire temple shuddered as some pillars outside started to crack.Nelson kept himself afloat by projecting a jet of flames from his feet like a rocket boot would.The large lizard had turned its focus on to the smaller menace that
