2021-07-24 02:35:21It only took a few minutes before Morales led his 4 companions back to the location of the mining base. After getting there, they found a good place to hide before laying low.
A few days ago, when he was working in the mining base, he was surprised as the system suddenly gave him the E-Class mission indicating that an assassination was in motion against him.
He was shocked on seeing it, but he didn’t panic as he was confident in his strength to survive any assassination from people below the Grade E superhuman realm.
He knew that the assassins after him were not at the superhuman realm yet, because of his knowledge of the dungeon protectors’ strength at this stage.
Only the head dungeon protector of the dungeon of madness was already at the Grade E realm.
After knowing about the assassination agenda, he became more careful and calculative.
What came as a relief to him was that the assassins were not unbridled enough to try assassinating him in such a tightly guarded mining base. They only stalked him on a daily basis.
This was what prompted him to his first meeting with Nightwing as he needed his favor. The generous thief class holder did not reject, he helped him and secretly spied on the assassins sent from the dungeon.
Through Nightwing, he was able to learn that they planned their assassination date as this night. After knowing this, he planned for it immediately.
Though some people may already have noticed that the guards of the mining base were slaughtered mysteriously, he was confident that the news was not viral yet, so he wanted to ambush his assassins before they learned of the news.
None of his companions made a sound as they all waited for the arrival of the assassins. They were now the ones in the dark.
…
Though it took longer than they expected which was irritating, their targets finally started appearing from the camouflage of the night after they waited for 40 agonizing minutes.
From the little that their eyes could make out in the night, they noticed 6 figures moving with calculated steps out of the darkness.
The 6 figures had cautious and alert expressions on their faces as they moved silently, crossing the distance between the road and the gate of the mining base swiftly.
From this short observation, though they could not get much, they could see that these 6 individuals were elites like they were.
“So there really were assassins after you!”
Lionel and the other 3 placed themselves at a better angle to see more clearly as serious expressions finally came over their faces. They knew that they met their match this time.
As they did all these, unlike them, Morales resorted to his most reliable tool, the information detect function of his system.

-------------------------------------------------------
After doing a quick survey of his opponent’s stats, Morales’s eyes narrowed as different thoughts flowed through his head at the same time.
From the summarized stats that were displayed before him by his system, he confirmed that he faced elites this time. All 6 opponents were already at the elite level, below the Grade E superhuman realm.
The first 5 were all elite agent sub-class holders. They were of the same level as Leonel and the others, but the advantage they had over the assassins was that they were main class holders.
The last assassin was the one who gave him a headache as this guy was currently at the same level he was and they both actually had the same main class. What the f*ck?
Through the survey of his system, he also confirmed his speculation. He remembered this burly-looking dungeon protector as he was the only Pugilist among the 5 protectors of the dungeon of madness.
“If I remembered correctly, his name is Protector… Davis”.
Unlike him, this big guy did not take the strength route, he took the bulwark defense route. He was a mobile defensive fortress. He already started having a headache thinking of how to break this guy’s defense.
Despite his dilemma, he did not let it affect him as he directly started giving his companions clues in form of orders on how to take down their targets.
Though the opposition was strong, he was confident that he could take them down with his companion’s help, especially now that they were the ones in the dark. The ambusher always had an early advantage over the ambushed.
As the 6 assassins drew nearer to the gate, one of the elite agents suddenly raised his hand, prompting them all to stop. This gesture also succeeded in getting Davis irritated.
“Protector, I’m sorry for disrupting your tempo, but I feel that something is not right”. He whispered in a soft tone.
“What is wrong?” Unlike him, Davis did not take the trouble of lowering his voice as much, which alarmed the other elite agents.
“Sir, please I’m sorry, lower your voice a bit”. The elite agent felt like crying. “Why on earth did the head protector order us to follow such a headstrong Pugilist, we are finished”.
“I don’t know, but I can faintly smell a dense convergence of blood from dead bodies. My intuition is ringing danger at me, you know my ability”.
“Shut up, your intuition is shit before me. Now, follow me before I rip your head off with my own hands”.
The hapless agent could only keep quiet and follow obediently.
Morales heaved a huge sigh of relief on seeing this, he didn’t expect such a perceptive elite agent to be among these assassins.
He could only thank his luck that the headstrong Protector like Davis was sent. He knew this guy like the back of his hand as he was the one that most player’s battle strategies worked against the most.
“Leonel, provide ranged support for the others to stall the 5 subordinates. I’ll hold the leader”.
He did not wait for his companions to answer before erupting out of his position with immense speed.
Boom!! His storm sword struck forward momentously, stirring a gale as the assassins finally paused on noticing the sudden attack. All the assassins blocked and tried to counterattack immediately, only one turned and escaped directly.
Morales creased his brows on seeing this, but he quickly ignored it and focused on what mattered.
Activating his flicker skill again, he moved like a phantom as his sword struck out at the same frequency as his movement. He aimed only for the vital spots of his opponents.
As the assassins slowly recovered their wits after cursing their teammate who ran, a change suddenly came into their midst.
Like a falling tsunami, bullets rained on them at a frightening rate from the side as one of the elite agents got injured quickly. They were not given the chance to take out their weapons as abilities erupted out of the corner.
Psychic abilities bombarded them, rendering them incapacitated for a second. The ambush was too sudden for them, only the perceptive agent reacted fast enough and already escaped.
Davis roared as he finally started putting his immense strength and thick skin to work, but it did nothing as Morales firmly held him down with his speed while at the same time chipping away at the agents’ health.
Boom!! Boom!!
The protector’s fist movements repeatedly broke the sound barrier due to their immense force accompaniment, but Morales used his firm player strategy to isolate him.
He did not fight him head-on, he only harassed and kept him in check. His remaining attention was on finishing the 4 elite agents.
A one-styled Pugilist who got his weak point pinpointed in a battle; the outcome of the battle can easily be deduced. Davis immediately got relegated to a background tantruming spectator on the battlefield.
He was extremely strong, but his lack of versatility was firmly grasped and used against him by Morales. He was confused by his lack of effectiveness.
“Why are my fists not working like before? Ugly wizard, which black magic did you use on me?” He was enraged.
Hearing this, Morales felt a muscle in his face twitch as he fought the urge to break down with laughter at this bastard’s brainlessness. Having low intelligence was really bad.
Though it took a little effort on their part, the outcome of the battle was already decided when it started. The 4 unlucky elite agents were all finally killed after an intense battle.
After doing this, they finally turned their attention to the bulwark Davis.
“Bombard him”.
Actually, they didn’t need Morales’s reminder, Leonel and the others unleashed all their abilities at the turtle shell Pugilist without restraint.
Though at times he threatened to kill some of his companions, Morales kept him in check. In the end, they finally killed him after a fast-paced 10 minutes battle without pause.
When his agents died, Davis already knew that his mission failed, his little intelligence could comprehend that. He did not feel too bad about it though, he knew that he was already dead.
Perhaps, he would have escaped if he tried, but he didn’t. Instead of dying in the hands of the cruel Sasha, he was fine with dying at the hands of his attackers instead.
As soon as the battle ended, Leonel and the others plopped down again from exhaustion. They could not help but glare at Morales, everywhere this guy brought them, they always ended up exhausted.
Despite this, they were happy at their victory as they knew how tight the battle was.
Morales looked the worst out of them all as he now had 2 large bumps on his face from 2 blows that he received from the now-dead Davis. He had to admit, this guy really gave him a hard time.

After taking a few minutes to rest and recover his strength, Morales finally stood up to go inspect the 5 corpses that lay before him. Seeing him stand up, the others gritted their teeth and also stood up. The first thing that they did on getting close was to thoroughly check the 5 assassins for any dangerous substance, after this, they finally looted them. They offered the loot to Morales to take his share first, but he simply waved them off to take everything. He was the one who asked for their help, giving them this little favor was nothing in return. The only thing that he took was the pugilist pamphlets that the dead protector Davis took with him. See

Before the other escapees could wake up completely, Morales took Lionel as they went out to look for where the other 3 leaders slept. Convincing them was the pivotal link to making their plan work.Among the other 4 leaders that led the escape apart from Morales who was the overall leader, unlike Leonel, the mechanic with a slightly literate and refined look, the rest were mostly unruly and savage.The months and years of working in the mining base affected them in different ways.Tigerclaw was an Esper, he was a fairly muscular and cheerful young man. His ability is shapeshifting.Because of his low energy rank, he could not transform completely yet, but he could strengthen parts of his body during battles to grant himself an advantage.Like his name, his ability had the attributes of a tiger when he used it. He usually bragged to them that when his energy finally entered the grade E realm, he could then transform into a huge mutated tiger.

Though Morales already thought and went through his battle plan thoroughly, getting close to the hidden entrance of the underground dungeon left him feeling nervous. He inclined his head a bit to look at his companion. To his surprise, Tigerclaw was completely focused with a nastily serious expression on his face. Seeing this, he quickly came to a realization. “Yeah, why am I even afraid when I’m not there yet? With my strength, I don’t believe that I can die stupidly, I can escape if the situation goes contrary to expectations”. As these thoughts went through his mind, he quickly found the entrance of the dungeon. It was a grey metallic door with signs of rust already on it, but it was still sturdy from its outward appearance. Morales knew that a special enchanted scroll was required to open it, but he had alternative means. The entrance was covered with a bunch of grass originally,

Excluding genius Espers with fierce abilities like Tigerclaw, it was hard to find an Esper class holder that was a main attacking fighter. Most of them focused on support in their early stages due to their low energy rank.Unlike other classes, Esper class holders depend more on their energy. Unless they cross the grade E superhuman boundary, it was hard for them to fight to their full potential.That was what exactly was happening in the chaotic hall as the Esper class holders got relegated to support positions.Under the smooth leadership of Lionel and the mechanics, they slowly started getting the upper hand. Despite this, they were still tense as they knew that only a portion of the guards of the dungeon was in this hall.Due to the noise and commotion, they were sure that reinforcement was already coming for the guards.They were currently in a race against time. According to Morales, if they could get to the cages in the dungeon w

“Not even once did I think that you had the potential to become a super after so many years, your sudden comprehension left me thinking. What happened? What did you discover?” The mad witch flung her hair to the side as she stood up from her throne-like chair and started walking down. Soft thud sounds echoed as she walked in the direction of the group of 5 that were alert, already ready for battle with her. Though they were ready to battle with her any moment, this did not stop them from admiring the gorgeousness that was on display before them. The mad witch was undoubtedly a beauty. Seeing this scene made Morales feel nostalgic. Just like the majority of the players then, he once crushed on this boss even though she always trashed them on every encounter. Her long red hair flowed behind her, swaying to her every movement as she came closer to meet them. Her combat attire was all red. A red leather vest, red boots, red accessories, and weapon

“It’s you”. Shasha was stunned at first, but she quickly reverted back to her calm look before speaking nonchalantly. “I knew you were a grade E expert the first day that I saw you, I just wanted to know your real motive that’s why you’re still alive. Are you the mastermind behind this attack?” “No, I just came in search of my little brother. Where is he?” The green-haired man was still calm as he went forward to meet the mad witch. After he was released from his cage and grouped up with Lionel, they went back to the large hall where the battle was already chaotic. He wanted to join the battle, but when Lionel told him that Morales came here without a grade E expert accompanying him, he decisively rushed here. Though he had never fought the mad witch, as a grade E powerhouse, he could feel how strong she was. She was stronger than him, that’s the main reason why he decided to lie low in the dungeon. His Esper ability is force-field con

After the high-level battle between Morales’s group and the mad witch ended, things became a lot easier for everyone. All of them suffered various degrees of injuries, with Tigerclaw and Bigfoot suffering the most. Morales surprisingly suffered the least injuries despite being the focus of the mad witch’s attack a few times. As they settled down, this was when they finally asked for the identity of the green-haired Esper. Morales intended to ask in a civilized way, but a brainless fellow beat him to it. “Who are you?” Bigfoot blurted out after wiping away the blood on his lips as he sized up the green-haired fellow. “During the battle, you showed off some nice strength. How about we spar a bit? I hope you’re not a scaredy-cat like Morales”. “…” The room suddenly descended into a chilly silence as everyone subconsciously inclined their head to look at the green-haired fellow, their mouths opened wide. “Is your brain so much fill
The Clan Head System. CHAPTER 21: THE ROYAL FAMILY.
After leaving the dungeon, Morales went alone Northwards. As a player who was extremely familiar with this world, he knew almost everywhere and how to navigate all the locations. Just like he told his companions, he intended to go to the nearest town and get himself admitted into a Pugilist dojo. In Space World, for all 5 main classes, there are specialized associations that are recognized across the planet where all main class holders are accommodated and trained. For Pugilists, it is the dojo alliance. The alliance has its roots spread all over the planet, which guaranteed more chances of meeting and accommodating awakened Pugilists. For Espers, it is the Gene liberation corporation. For Mechanics, it is the Machinery temple. For Psychics, it is the realm of deities corporation, while the throne of magical arcana is for Mages. The dojo alliance is the biggest among all the 5 main classes associations, this was because the planet was still li

As one of the 3 Grade C- experts of this Suicide Squad, he had 1/3rd overall authority over any decision-making of the squad. As soon as they went deep inside the pyramid enough, and the number of zombies and other undead creatures swarming towards them started becoming too much, Morales gave a suggestion. “Let’s separate!” Morales could boast of being the warrior with the most knowledge about this Pyramid. Putting aside its deliberate model after earth’s pyramid of Giza, this was a battlefield where he had farmed for experience points like a man

Through careful baiting and meticulously patient guidance over the years, I was able to remote control your important decisions till I led you all here”. “Hehehe!” “It feels so good to see enemies fooling themselves, so damn good!” “I didn’t just bring you here to enjoy yourselves though.

CHAPTER 230: THE ULTIMATE HUNTERS [2]!
Warp! The advanced airship succeeded in infiltrating inside the Necromancy domain that the Necromancy alliance was famed for without triggering any alarms. This was a sign of a good omen towards the overall mission. None of the warriors that were recruited into the vanguard team cheered though, this was because they knew that this was just the calm before the storm. This act that they just started was an act of war! Inside the necromancy domain was like a dark endless void filled with chaotic space that kept on ravaging through anything that they could devour. It was now night, but the effects of the night here were amplified several folds. The extreme darkness, gloominess, and absolute silence gave this region the spookiest attribute that it could afford. This strange vacant void seemed spooky, but not to the warriors that came for this mission who were all battle-hardened veterans. None of them were flustered, they kn
CHAPTER 229: THE ULTIMATE HUNT [1]!
As soon as Morales settled down, he swept his gaze through the enormous hall building and saw that a lot of people were already gathered here. Even as he came, others were also coming. The hunting alliance already put everything in order before convening this gathering. From the most important warrior to the least important, even the mysterious Elder Lorrain of the Clifford family were all present. Like before, Pirate Admiral Frenzy was the one who stood up to speak. He was seated alongside his fellow counterparts at the very front of the hall. Morales eyed these seats. With his current status as a Grade C- expert, if he revealed his real strength, he could easily become one of the higher-ups of this alliance. Despite the fame and prestige that may follow, Morales was okay with being prudent. He already had his own plans in place for this mission. To others, it was just about killing the necromancers and getting rid of a disast

CHAPTER 227: A RAPID INCREASE IN POWER.
After the secret gathering that was convened in a secret virtual domain, Morales took his time communicating with the Pirate Admiral.Pirate Admiral Frenzy no longer hid anything from him.As he said, they discovered the fatal plan of the necromancers 2 years ago. Since then, they went into work on gathering manpower and trying to infiltrate the Necromancer’s Den to gather information.When the gathering started, it comprised only Pirate Admiral Frenzy and Pirate Admiral Rage. These 2 were the progenitors of the gathering, and they were responsible for the rapid growth of the gathering in the past 2 years.Compared to when it started, the gathering was now countless times more powerful. They looked invisible, but not so invisible against the Necromancer’s Den.The Necromancer’s Den already changed a lot, Gorge Dame was no longer the sole leader.

CHAPTER 226: THE SECRET GATHERING.
“Who is this?” Morales was confused at first on seeing his ringing communication device, but as soon as he picked up the call, his confusion cleared and was quickly replaced by surprise and speculations. “Morales, right?” On hearing the dignified voice that reverberated from the other side of the virtual projection screen, Morales snapped out of his daze. “Esteemed Pirate Admiral!” Morales quickly expressed his respect by standing up. Being contacted so suddenly by the well-known Frenzy Psychic, Morales experienced a rapid rush of emotions. It did not take him long before he connected this call to the achievements of his fleet in the just-concluded campaign. Though he really wanted to know the reason why this Pirate Admiral called, he did not dare keep him waiting. He put on the most polite smile that he could before asking the universal question. “To what honor am I receiving this unexpected call?” On hearing t
