"SHADOW DOMINANCE!"Ajax called out in an audible tone while making a fighting stance.Hearing the word of the other, Shurugerugere's face became sour as he recognized those words.'Don't tell me he's a Mutant of that level?' Shurugerugere pondered, gulping down saliva as black thick shadow began to form around the vast empty hall like a veil.'I was a fool. He wasn't running away earlier. He only lured us in here so he could expand the shadow dominance.' Shurugerugere began to curse himself internally for falling into Ajax's trap.The shadow veil kept forming until it finally sealed them inside a vast round black bubble."Hey, damn bastard! Where did your confidence go?" Ajax mocked with a smirk, while Shurugerugere stood there with a tensed expression as he pondered on what to do.'I can already feel my body becoming weak, meaning all my strength and abilities have been halved the moment he expanded the shadow dominance.' Shurugerugere contemplated, cold sweat trickling down his fac
Sending out the blades, Shurugerugere's aim wasn't to hurt Ajax with it, but to create a distraction. While Ajax was busy forming a shadow barrier to block the blades, Shurugerugere seized the opportunity by charging forward.'Gotcha!' Shurugerugere smirked after finding an opening, and he sent out a clean punch towards Ajax's open head.The punch moved at lightning speed, and just when the punch was about to make impact, a shadow helmet formed on Ajax's head.BAM!The punch connected, but no impact was made due to the shadow helmet Ajax equiped in the last second.Shururugerugere felt like he had just punched against a solid mountain, and his fist seem to have been shattered upon making himpact.After successfully blocking the punch, Ajax swung out his shadow blade towards Shurugerugere who was still trying to recover from his broken fist.'What was i thinking?...' Shurugerugere lamented, lifting up his three small blades to block the incoming sword.CLANG!Both weapons clashed again
[LEVEL UP ONE MORE TIME TO BEGIN THE EVOLUTION]Ajax glanced at the screen with a dumbfounded look etched on his face.'Evolution, eh? I guess once I get one more level up, I get evolved into a full Souljacker.' Ajax pondered internally while glancing at the window screen in front of him.Ajax had always wondered what he needed to do to begin the evolution, not knowing that he only needed to reach Level 20.'I wonder what would happen when I evolve. Will I be less of a human and more of a monster?'The way Darick behaved back then wasn't like a human in any way. The way he killed people like they were nothing at all made Ajax wonder if he would also become as heartless as Darick Carden.'I guess I'll just wait and find out.' Ajax dismissed the screen before resuming his steps and making his way through the staircase that led to the last floor.He walked through the staircase for several minutes and also made his way out of the building through the exit door.'Hmm..'Ajax swept his gaz
"I know Ajax's location, so there's no need to worry about that." The leader bellowed with an evil grin. "So will you help us lure him out, or die right now?" He added with a smirk.Blade remained mute upon hearing the guy's words. Blade knew if he didn't comply with their demands, he would surely die, and if he complies, Ajax would die.He didn't really know Ajax to make him risk his life for him, but he knew Ajax was special and might just be the one they've been searching for all these years."And what if i refuse?" Blade questioned with a stern look, causing the face of the leader known as Bo, to become bright red in anger."You die!" Bo responded through gritted teeth.Blade didn't utter another word as he gripped his two katana swords firmly in his hands and made a fighting stance."Then i'll die knowing i fought for the greater good." Blade responded in a fighting stance and unwavering determination.Blade's actions and words came as a surprise to the triplet, making them turn
(AUTHOR'S NOTE: DROP A REVIEW HERE SO I WILL KNOW WHO'S IN THE LATEST CHAPTER!)"I deliberately missed my target. Are you going to help us lure out Ajax? If you refuse, the next Soul Finger would be aiming for your Soul Zen, and we both know what would happen after," Jo threatened with a devilish look on his face.Blade lifted himself off the floor and wiped the blood trickling down his mouth with his sleeves.'He isn't kidding. I felt those fingers of his only a few inches away from my Soulzen. If it had hit me directly, I would have been a goner,' Blade pondered internally, his gaze fixed on Jo who stood several meters away with an emotionless look.'I can tell there is something different about that Ajax dude. He might even be the chosen one of the old mighty mutant. I can't let these guys kill him. Never!'Blade gripped his two swords firmly in his hands and shot out like a rocket towards Jo. He moved at lightning speed, even Jo's once expressionless look was now one of shock and
**{HOURS BEFORE AJAX ENCOUNTERED BLADES}**Walking through the ruined street filled with debris and rocks from falling buildings, Ajax had no idea what he was doing at the moment, but he knew standing in a single spot without doing anything was a bad idea. That's why he began to wander around.'I wonder what happens when I begin the evolution and how long it would take to complete it,' Ajax pondered internally while advancing forward.The system never informed him of the duration of the evolution, which made Ajax very curious. He also wondered if he would lose his sanity during the evolution just like he does when he runs wild.If that were to be the case, then evolving while people are around him would be a bad idea.Ajax kept traversing forward while glancing around the place. The area was completely silent and void of people, and the only sound that could be heard was his footsteps.'Hmm?' Ajax suddenly halted his steps and began to use his enhanced hearing to listen in on the envi
**[BULLIES KILLED: 1/4]**[TRAITOR KILLED: 0/??]****[SHADOW BLADE HAS BEEN ADDED TO YOUR ARSENAL]****[+10 ATTRIBUTE POINTS ADDED]**Series of notifications popped up right in front of Ajax after successfully beheading the head of the Souljacker with a single blow.'Shadow blade, huh? The same blade that came with my shadow equip back in the Shadow Dominance.' Ajax pondered with a pleased expression."YOU BASTARD!" The female among the group lunged forward and another comrade followed her closely behind.When she got in striking distance, she slashed her blade towards Ajax with hate and anger.'Shadow blade!' Ajax called out internally, and a black aura could be seen surrounding his right hand, until a medium-sized blade was formed.The blade looked almost like a dagger, but it was a bit longer than a dagger. The hilt of the blade had the marking of a strange-looking head, and the blade was carved in a cross-like shape.'Where did the dagger come from?' The lady pondered in confusion
(STILL IN THE PENALTY GAME AREA)Ajax assured the duo he won't hurt them and he meant no harm. After several minutes of convincing, they finally believed and trusted Ajax's words."Is there a way to get you both out of here? This area is very dangerous for someone like your little brother to be in." Ajax inquired with a slight look of worry.He knew how hard it must be for such a young kid to be in a place where someone could show up at any time just to kill them."My father used to do a lot of research back then on the Penalty Game, and he also researched how a player could forfeit the game and exit the barrier," the girl known as Alice responded in the same low and timid tone."So, what did he find after all the research?" Ajax questioned attentively."There's only one way to exit. If we can find a man that everyone calls Truthbearer, he would create a hole in the barrier that would allow a maximum of two people to pass," Alice explained."Truthbearer isn't a player, but he exists i
