Ajax placed his fingers on his chin in contemplation before he finally voiced out.

"Tarbernacle." Ajax spoke in a cold tone, and an evil grin stretched across his face.

[CONGRATULATIONS, TARBANACLE HAS AWAKENED]

Receiving the last notification, the eyes of the statue lit up glowing red. Tarbanacle's eyes opened, and the once solid body was now morphing into a glowing green scale-like body.

The energy emitting from Tarbernacle wasn't like anything Ajax has ever seen before. The aura was overwhelming, surpassing the level of a Grade X mutant.

Tarbernacle's body restored back fully, and it got on one knee and bowed down to Ajax.

"Good boy." Ajax smirked as he enjoyed the mutant worshipping him.

'If this mutant isn't on my side, there would have been no way I would have defeated it... the power is on another level.' Ajax pondered internally.

[NAME: TARBERNACLE]

[GRADE: DIVISION 3]

[SOUL POINTS: 300/300]

To satisfy his curiosity, Ajax used his system to scan his puppet, and his jaw dropped

    Standing in the ruined street that had different tall buildings that were at the verge of crumbling was a certain group of people who all had their gazes fixated on a teenage boy with different gigantic knight-like creatures surrounding him."J-just what happened here? And why isn't the Reapers attacking him?" Alice blurted out in shock and disbelief."I-is he somehow able to tame them or what?""Don't be silly, how is that even possible!"The group began to mumble amongst themselves as Ajax just stood there calmly and a cold expression evident on his face."D-don't get scared, guys! If he's able to control the reapers somehow, then if we successfully take him out the Reapers would follow!" The man with a little boy's features spoke up to boost the group's morale."Yeah! All we have to do is take him out with one hit! He might be strong, but he definitely won't survive a combined attack from us all!" Alice backed up her brother's words, and the rest of the group's confidence was resto

    "I won't be the one killing you because if I do, that would be a waste of an instant level up," Ajax said, then shifted his gaze towards the enigmatic mutant behind him."Tarbarnacle, kill her and gain your first level up," Ajax ordered.Tarbarnacle nodded its head as it shifted its gaze towards Alice, who fell on her knees, shivering in fear."P-p-please, spare me. Please!" Alice pleaded, tears streaming down her eyes, fear evident in her gaze."Like I said earlier... none of you will leave this place alive," Ajax uttered in a cold and menacing tone."Please, sir! I will give you all my points! Please, just spare me!" Alice cried out."I already have 700+ percentage, what makes you think I need yours?" Ajax responded as Tarbarnacle lifted up its shield above Alice, who kept shedding tears."Well, go to hell! You think you are strong, or you think you will get out of the penalty game alive?! Why do you think they haven't found the chosen one for centuries? It's because the game organi

    Somewhere in the Red Domain...In the castle of the seven leaders...Inside the meeting hall..."Of course, I know who the chosen one is since he was the one who resurrected me from my slumber. I can tell you who he is, only on one condition. You give me the body of the Old Mutant," Cataclyst demanded with a smirk evident on his lips.Hearing the words of Cataclyst Demorgan, everyone present there had widened eyes of shock."That's impossible. The body of the mighty mutant is kept safe in a sacred room. We can't let a man like you have it!" Ser Balde interjected with a frown."Have you forgotten the rule, Balde? Once the leader of a clan dies, the clan members should be the ones to keep the body. And since I am the last remaining member of his clan, his body should be placed under my custody," Cataclyst remarked with a mischievous smirk."Nonsense! The Old Mutant banished you from his clan and also placed you in eternal slumber. I don't know how you managed to rise, and I do not care,

    "Can't you at least fight it? You can't just give up like that." Ajax muttered still gazing at the mutant who just stood there examining them."There is a reason why they are called executors and sent after the players,because no matter what rank a player is the executors would surely carry out their duty by eliminating them. The penalty game has been going on for centuries and there's never a time when the executors failed in it's mission or got defeated by a player. Long story short, the executors powers are on another level." Blades explained, sweat trickling down his face and his heart racing.Ajax stood there in silence for few seconds after hearing Blades words before walking forward slowly and heading towards the executor."Power on another level my ass." Ajax smirked as black shadow began to form in his right hand then his shadow blade appeared. "Go find a safe place to hide, Blades,let me take this over sized baby back to its crib." Ajax added with a cold look on his face as

And for the first time since the fight began, the mutant moved from the spot it once stood.Right where Blades stood,a look of disbelief was evident on his face after witnessing the whole thing."This guy... he's definitely not a beginner. Could he be..." He pondered, his gaze fixed intently on Ajax Hart.[NEW PASSIVE SKILL LEARNT][ARMOR PENETRATION JAB]While Ajax leaped a few steps backwards to create gap and analyze how much damage his soul jab did on the mutant's gigantic right leg, a notification that he has never seen before popped up right in front of him."I learnt a skill? Didn't know that was possible." Ajax mused before dismissing the screen and focused his attention on the mutant meters away from him.The executor groaned in pain for few more seconds before it finally became silent as the slight injury on its leg healed up."It'

    "Who are you guys?" Ajax demanded."Oh, my name's Bo, and these are my brothers, Jo,and Mo." Bo introduced. "And we are here to retrieve our package delivered to us by Blades." He added."What do you mean? What package?" Ajax questioned, glaring at the three identical brothers standing meters away."Blades here was sent by us to lure you out and bring you to us so we can kill you and get all your points. And that was exactly what he did." Bo informed with an evil grin on his face.Hearing the words of Bo, Ajax shifted his gaze towards Blades who now had his head facing the floor in shame."Is this true?" Ajax questioned in a calm tone, and his expression remained the same.Blades remained in silence, his two fists clenched in regret."I'm sorry, Ajax..i-i-i didn't mean to." Blades apologized in a shaky tone. "These guys threatened my whole family. He said if I don't deliver you to them he would wipe them all out. Please forgive me." Blades added, his voice dripping with shame and regr

    "When I said the fight won't be fair, I meant it won't be fair for you." Ajax spoke in a menacing tone, and immediately after he said those words, the whole place was enveloped with strong wind.The wind kept blowing, causing dust to rise from the floor and surround Ajax. It almost looked like it was a tonado.The place was finally calm after a few seconds,and the dust vanished. With the dust now gone, what looked like towering knights with crimson armors and a giant blades stood beside Ajax."Welcome to your first official battle, headless reapers." Ajax muttered with a huge grin on his face.The headless reapers stood beside Ajax, there were only three of them, but their presence was intimidating to the clones summoned by Jo."What is this?" Jo pondered internally with his eyes widened in shock after catching a glimpse of the mutants Ajax just summoned without uttering a single word."Is he by any chance apart of the summoners clan? No, it makes no sense. The summoners can only summ

    Abraham, who stood meters away with the rest of the villagers, had a look of disbelief on his face as Ajax took down two more mutants.He shifted his gaze towards the lady standing beside him and questioned."Who is that guy?" Abraham questioned, his gaze fixed on Ajax who was busy taking down the mutants meters away."I have no idea. I have never seen him before." The lady known as Sadie, responded. "But he seems strong. Maybe too strong for his age. Also, where did he get such an armor from?" Sadie added.Abraham didn't bother responding, his gaze fixed on Ajax, and his face green with jealousy.He could hear the villagers hailing and praising Ajax as he defeated the mutants on his own, and that got home angry and jealous.He was supposed to be the main character in this. The center of their attention. But in the end, some unknown teenage boy just showed up and took his place."Who the hell do you think you are, boy?"

    "THE MUTANTS ARE HERE!" The man alerted while running towards the village, and before he could arrive, his head was split in half as the mutant caught up with him.The eyes of the villagers widened in terror as they watched the mutant chop off the head of their fellow villager with its claws."Everyone, ready your weapons! Women and children get out of here now!" A young man with a short snow white hair and nice body structure voiced out as he unsheathed his blade and gripped it firmly. He was clad in a brown mutant armor.He was known as Abraham.Hearing the words of Abraham, women began to carry their children and began to run for their lives. "You too, Frost, get out of here!" Abraham shifted his gaze towards Frost and ordered."I said I'm fighting!" Frost interjected as she dropped her blade and locked up a long two edged mutant spear."It's too dangerous, Frost.

He traveled through the portal for a few moments until he finally arived at his destination.Zwin![ALERT!][YOU ARE NOW IN THE EVOLUTION QUEST ZONE]A notification popped up right in front of Ajax the moment he arrived,and he glamced at it before it vanished."Hmm." Ajax mused as he swept his gaze through the area he found himself in.The place looked like a small village with huts here and there and villagers in old and dirty attire walking around."Where the hell is this place?" Ajax pondered in bewilderment as he examined the place.As he was busy glancing around, notification blocked his line of sight."[YOU HVE THREE TESTS TO PASS TO COMPLETE THE EVOLUTION][YOU CANNOT LEAVE UNTIL THE EVOLUTION IS COMPLETED AND ALL TESTS PASSED][REWARDS FOR THE QUEST ARE GRANTED AFTER THE EVOLUTION]Ajax's eyes scanned through the screen floating in front of him, and a dumbfounded look etched on his face."Three tesrs, eh?

    "If only I could get the rewards for slaying such a powerful mutant. I am sure it would have been a series of level ups and juicy attribute points with a new skill or two." Ajax wondered with his fingers rubbing his chin.And in the end, he couldn't get any of those because he was yet to complete the evolution quest that would make him a full souljacker."Wait, if I can't get those rewards, then maybe I can get myself a new puppet." Ajax mused as he shifted his gaze towards Jo's corpse.He walked towards the corpse and knelt down beside it with his hands placed on the chest.[SKILL, PUPPETEER HAS BEEN ACTIVATED]Activating the skill, the whole area got enveloped by strong wind that made the dust on the ground rise up and dance around.Blades, who was watched from a distance, had to block his eyes with his arms after catching sight of a bright green light coming from the direction of Ajax.The wind kept blowing, making buildings that were on the verge of collapsing crumble down, and th

    Involving the Shadow Dominance

    In a blink of an eye, the street they both fought on was now covered in what looked like a shadow bubble, locking every living creature around inside and also impossible to escape. After lowering the veil, Jo felt his strength dropped drastically which he knew would happen.Once in inside the veil, the enemy's strength gets halved, and the reduced strength of the enemy would be added to the user, making him extremely powerful. Jo knew all about the Shadow Dominance technique, that's why he wasn't really shocked when his body suddenly became sluggish and numb."To be honest, I never thought you were a mutant of this level. To be able to use such a technique meaning you're a....hybrid?" Jo finally spoke up after a few moments of silence, and his gaze fixated on Ajax who stood there meters away with his whole body now equipped in his shadow armor."I never thought I would ever cross paths with a hybrid, but now I didn't just crossed paths with one.. I would also get to kill one!" Jo sho

    "Damn it, how am I supposed to defeat him if I can't use any of my soul related abilities?" Ajax pondered internally."Should I summon my puppets?" Ajax mused. "Nah,they are already out of soulpoints and would need time to regain their strengths. I am on my own for now."Ajax's puppets already lost all their energies fighting Jo's clone a few hours ago, so using them at this moment wasn't an option."I'll have to try my best to defeat him without using any soul related abilities, and also avoid sustaining another critical injury that would require super fast healing." Ajax concluded as he called out his shadow blade and it appeared in his right hand.He clenched the blade firmly in his right hand, crouched a bit, before dashing forward at lightning speed. He charged forward at a speed that almost looked like he teleported, and in a blink of an eye, he arrived directly in front of Jo and swung out his blade towards his his head.CLANG"The blade teaveled through the air, and when it w

    While Ajax struggled to figure out what was going on, he heard a deep voice meters away, causing him to shift his gaze instantly."Don't be shocked, Ajax! I just absorbed my brothers soul, meaning the three of us are now combined as one!" Jo spoke, and his voice sounded like three people were talking.Ajax stood there, his gaze fixed on Jo who seemed to have grew in both height and seize. His muscles were now bulky like that of a chronic bodybuilder, and his height like a professional basketball player."Soul combination is a technique that can only be mastered by a few souljackers clan. However, it can only be used once in a lifetime, and that is when the other two siblings dies.""The sibling left would then be able to absorb the soul of his brothers, and they shall be awakened once again inside of him..making three of them work as one.""I never thought this fight would extend to the point where the soul combination would be executed, but oh well, you're much more stronger than I t

    Dark purple blood filled the whole place, and the only sound that could be heard was screeching sounds as the eyes was being stabbed continuously.Ajax kept repeating the process, until a notification screen materialized right in front of him.[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE SLAIN A HIGH GRADED SERPENTINE SOUL MUTANT]Ajax glanced at the holographic screen floating in front of him while panting heavily. He wiped the blood off his shadow blade before shifting his gaze towards Mo who was still in the form of his lion-like soul beast."You killed my brother!" Mo roared in anger as he launched forward in all fours. His speed was quite fast and impressive, and the ground they stood on shook slightly as he dashee forward.Ajax got in a fighting stance with his blade gripped tightly in his right hand and his gaze fixed on the incoming mutant. In a blink of an eye, the mutant arrived directly in front of him and he slashed out his claws towards Ajax's chest.Clang*Reacting gracefully,Ajax blocke

    Bo that stood by his left hand side leaned down a bit and transformed into a serpentine mutant. The serpent was the size of a truck and the length was almost hundred meters. The skin as tough as a metal, and two sharp fangs sticking out from its mouth."Let's see how long you would last, Ajax Hart." Jo smirked as his two mutated brothers began to charge towards Ajax at once.Mo ran on all four at an incredible speed, while Bo also crawled on the floor like a serpentine mutant as they headed towards Ajax. When they were meters away from Ajax, the serpentine mutant leaped up into the air and opened its mouth wide opened, revealing its razor sharp fangs,as it descended towards Ajax with full force.While Mo slashed his vicious claws towards Ajax. Ajax saw both attacks heading towards him at ain incredible pace,and in the last second, he leaped a few steps backwards.SWOOSH!Ajax leaped backwards, making the mutant slash nothing but thin air, and the serpentine mutant missed him and lande
