2024-10-29 19:42:56Too late? Maybe…, the exobeast charged towards Leo, fully displaying its enhanced speed. As he ran, flashbacks quickly emerged in his head, as he recalled information about the rage phenomenon.
Information is power, if you have information about your opponent, you are halfway to defeating him.
The rage phenomenon is a state an exobeast enters after it gets agitated and angered to an extent. After this transformation, it receives a special surge of adrenaline. Which leads to a great increase in its strength, lethality, aggression, and a lot of other attributes.
This phenomenon causes it to possess a special strength, in the form of pressure. The area around it produces great pressure which affects enemies psychologically. This hardly occurs, as it requires a lot of conditions to be met before it is activated.
The pressure exerted by the exobeast increases exponentially due to this phenomenon, as it feels like the victim is placed in a sea of poisonous snakes, which affects concentration considerably.
It is recorded that 5% of cadet’s death in the graduation training comes as a result of cadets encountering this situation.
Clark quickly realized the danger his friend was in, as he quickly retrieved the sniper rifle. 50 sniper bullets were provided to all groups for the training and he already used 10 bullets in the last exobeast battles. He quickly released 12 bullets in quick succession, as he accurately aimed at the exobeast's eye.
The ape brought its head down as it predicted it, the bullet flew past it harmlessly. It avoided any bullet hitting its eye, but tanked the rest bullets with its thick skin.
Clark immediately became focused, as he freed himself of all distractions. Leo was fast but the exobeast was faster, their distance kept getting nearer as the exobeast’s subordinates also charged forward in pursuit.
All he saw at the moment was the exobeast, as he shot another 8 times consecutively. Poof!!! Blood flowed as the 8th bullet got its eye. It bellowed in rage as it glared with its other eye at him. His co-ordination has already improved considerably with Leo since the start of their training.
Immediately after the bullet connected, the ape glared at him. Leo took hold of this lapse in concentration to release a powerful backward sword strike. Ding!!! The sword accurately connected to the ape’s neck; blood flowed, but unfortunately for them, this exobeast was simply a tank.
The injury was not too deep, so he decisively pulled back. To his surprise, the sword refused to move as it got stuck in its throat. The ape slammed down with both its hands-on him, as he still struggled to pull the sword out.
He skillfully dodged the slam rolling backward, but this was not a tv show where the protagonist gets away stylishly. The shockwave alone from the slam hit his back, as he coughed out blood.
He staggered backward, but still recovered as he immediately leaped further backward, his face pale. Cold sweat soaked his back, as he realized that he just brushed his teeth with death. But the ape was surely not going to allow him to rest, as it pulled the sword from its neck and threw it at him.
He was caught off guard, so his reaction slowed considerably. He closed his eyes in resignation, as he failed to react in time. He reflexively raised his hands in a futile attempt to block the sword.
Ding!!! Surprisingly, Clark was already there as he blocked with his sword. He was already on his way when his friend engaged the exobeast. His entrance was just like a superhero arriving at a desperate moment to save the day.
But he didn’t get relish in it for long, as the ape spoiled the mood by roaring at him in a rage with its awful voice. Its strong and deep vocal cords enhanced the sound it made, as the air visibly distorted from the extreme sound.
After the clash, he skillfully caught the free-falling sword, threw it to Leo as he re-engaged the ape. This engagement clearly indicated his genius and how fast he improved over the last few days.
Clang!! Clang!! Clang!! He bravely fought with the exobeast, and surprisingly the beast was forced to stop its offensive as it defended with its fists passively. Its subordinates finally arrived, as 3 apes quickly lunged at him.
He didn’t even look, as he stabbed 3 times to the side swiftly before ending the combo with a huge slash at the exobeast, which it defended against with its fists.
Leo gaped in astonishment at how his friend suppressed the exobeast, conveniently squashing 3 subordinate ape’s brains in the process also. The 3 attacking subordinate apes died, each from a stab to its brain.
He couldn’t help but sigh, as he wondered, “this guy is this strong now. He has been hiding his real improvement”. To be precise, it was better to say not hiding his strength but that the situation simply didn’t call for it.
“I still have a long way to go”, he silently muttered as he re-entered the battle. As they both fought the exobeast, its underlings died in droves as it constantly grew angrier the more it fought.

Even though they both suppressed the exobeast, the ape was still a bonafide tank tyrant as its injuries accumulated extremely slowly. The fight turned into a battle of endurance, as they both killed all the primate's subordinates but it still fought aggressively. The ape sometimes pulled unexpected maneuvers, but they scaled through, persevering and adapting due to their increased battle experience.Clark never felt this good in a battle. During the battle, as he continued exchanging blows with the exobeast, he felt like this is what he should be doing. It felt absurd and stupid, but he felt that this was his calling.“I was born to fight, to dominate and bring glory to my country”, he muttered in excitement as his inner battle spirit took over.His current mood is similar to when you are doing somet
THE CONSPIRACY OF THE ELITES. CHAPTER 15: AN UNEXPECTED BREAKTHROUGH.
Clark woke up very early the next day feeling refreshed and energized, the only inconvenience was the heavy smell of blood.He wasn’t too irritated though, as part of their cadet training was a period when they get very close to blood and sleep in a vicinity covered with blood to get used to it.This was to allow them to adapt to situations that proved dangerous, tedious, and intolerable to others. In the future, when they encounter a situation where they see themselves in bloody areas, this training can come in handy. He coped very well, as he didn’t puke because of the smell. Even though he woke up energized, he was still resentful as he preferred dwelling in his dream than to be in this smelly place, under a huge tree, in the middle of nowhere.“Shit man, life is not fair at all. It’s just like a transition from the palace to pit

Rustle!! Rustle!! The leaves swayed to the rhythm of the night, as the wind blew in the silent darkness.As the leaves swayed, a pair of eyes watched from the darkness as the moonlight reflected the glow of the eye. The owner of these eyes slowly moved silently to where the two cadets slept. During that time of the night, Clark and Leo were both already fast asleep, unaware of the danger sneaking close.After getting close enough to see the new tyrants of the jungle, a cold glint flashed past the eyes of the black creature as its muscles contracted to prepare for a ruthless charge. It was a Night Rakshasha, a black creature that evolved from the union between a black panther and a tiger.A Night Rakshasha that evolved to become an exobeast is augmented towards extreme speed. They can fight with their four limbs do

The sun slowly rose from the east, as the two cadets still stayed alert with bloodshot eyes. They carefully watched their surroundings for any threat.After the sun fully rose, they finally relaxed their tense nerves a little as they knew that Night Rakshashas were nocturnal animals. As they watched, fatigue eventually overwhelmed their cautiousness, making them both fell asleep.... Leo woke up around the afternoon. He sighed as he saw his friend’s injured and bloody face. He drew nearer to wake him up, as he knew that staying further in the forest was no longer a good idea.It was not a pleasant experience, but Clark still forced himself to wake up.“Leo, you’re already awake?” He asked, as he forcibly cleared his sleepy head.“Yes, bro. Let’s wash up and leave this forest for good,” Leo answered. Clark agreed without a word of objection, as the

Swoosh!! The Night Rakshasha moved with its usual breakneck speed, as it suddenly closed in rapidly.Not even thinking first, Leo quickly turned around while swiftly unsheathing his sword, as he unleashed a tyrannical backward slash with the maximum speed that he could muster. The big cat's confident movements faltered a bit, as it was certainly caught unprepared. It widened its eyes in shock, it didn’t know how these weak humans still got the endurance to be so alert and fight back.Despite being shocked it still reflexively retreated, but it was a little too late. The sword still connected cutting a bloody wound across its chest. Before it could recover its composure, it suddenly hissed loudly again in pain as it received another blow to its belly.Its belly was exposed, as it preferred fighting while standing upright like a human. This blow was not from Leo, but from Clark as his friend was simply not that

They slept for the rest of the night peacefully, without any pressure. Clark dreamt that night of himself becoming the ruler of the whole world. Everything felt blurry to him, but he captured that all the presidents became his subordinates, as the world prospered under his rule.He aspired to break King Solomon’s record in the bible, of having the most wives and concubines in history, and that’s exactly what he did.All the Presidents provided the most beautiful maidens from their countries to him, as he selected 2000 from the maidens. He directly broke Solomon’s record, even doubling it.… He finally woke up, feeling weird and puzzled. “I’m not sure that’s me, I don’t run after skirts. I guess staying with Leo influenced my sweet dream, adding the ridiculous wives’ part to it”.

Not too long later, the legendary warship “The Megalodon” finally arrived as it deactivated its stealth systems, becoming visible. It lowered ropes to the cadets, as they both quickly climbed the ropes and entered inside. Sergeant Modric personally welcomed the cadets, as he stood, waiting at the hatch. He was surprised, as he felt a familiar presence from the both of them.“You both had a breakthrough,” he asked. They nodded without hesitation, as they saluted him. They had no reason trying to hide their breakthrough in strength, the republic always welcomed high-grade soldiers with open arms.“Good morning Sergeant,” they finally greeted.The sergeant smiled as he responded, “good morning sergeants to be”.He immediately changed the way he addressed them; He dropped all airs, as he spoke casually with them like equals as they went deep

Clark and Leo were relaxed, as they leisurely watched the new famous cartoon series, “Tom and Jerry Return”. This series was a continuation of the famous blockbuster cartoon, Tom and Jerry.The difference between both series is that the plot is different, and a lot of high-grade technology is utilized in it to enhance the experience of those watching it.Movies are far more interesting this age, due to the huge technological adaptations made to them.It was just a pity that at this age, practically everyone had a muscled-filled brain, falling in love with only the professions that are related to the military. You hardly see a kid that will proudly proclaim that he wants to become an artist in the future. Instead, they'll all want to become soldiers. During the duration of their 5-year course cadet training, they were practically cut off from the rest of the world to undergo training. Thankfu

Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes

While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<

The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next.
