"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
[YOU ARE NOW IN THE SOUL REAPERS DOMAIN]A holographic screen materialized in front of Ajax the moment he took the step forward. He quickly turned around and found the duo laughing uncontrollably at him.'What the..'Ajax tried moving forward, but it felt like an invisible wall was blocking his path."Haha. You can't escape the domain, boy. You fell right into our trap." Alice spoke in a deep menacing voice, then followed by a loud laughter.Hearing Alice's words, Ajax clenched his fist and began to punch the invisible wall.BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!Ajax sent out punch after punch, but his efforts were all futile and the wall wouldn't break.'This must be the two traitors the system warned me about. Just why didn't I listen?' Ajax pondered internally.[TRAITOR KILLED: 0/2]Ajax remembered the quest back then but chose to ignore it for he didn't think about it too much. But now it all made sense to him."The veil won't be lifted unless the Soul Reaper is killed. I doubt if that would e
Using his active skill, Super Fast Healing, his shattered bones began to heal, and his energy was restored."This thing is hella strong...how do I defeat it?" Ajax pondered internally, his eyes fixated on the crimson-colored knight-like mutant in front of him.[SOUL POINTS: 90/100]Ajax glanced at his available soul points and was pleased to see the numbers. During his fight against the bullies back then, he was able to drain their souls when he stabbed and cut them with the shadow blade.The shadow blade is able to drain a victim's soul and add it to the user's soul points."Since I still have a total of 90 soul points, I am free to use my abilities the way I please. But I have to make sure the point doesn't go below 10." Ajax gulped as the mutant began to launch forward with its two giant blades held firmly in both hands.Ajax stood in a fighting stance as the mutant closed the gap quickly and swung its giant blade downwards, now heading towards Ajax's head from above.*SWOOSH!*The
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST SLAYED A SOUL REAPER.]Ajax fell on his knees breathless after receiving the notification confirming his victory.'I didn't expect the hit to kill it, though..it must have been as a result of my increase in strength points.' Ajax pondered internally, picking himself off the floor and walking towards the body of the Soul Reaper to examine it.Ajax leaned beside it and placed his palm on the head which his blade struck. 'The blade pierced into the armor, but i can't seem to find just what lays within this helmet.' Ajax glanced at the hole on the helmet, but all he saw was pure darkness.[YOU HAVE SOME UNREAD NOTIFICATIONS.]An holographic screen materialized right infront of Ajax, and his attention shifted from the Soul Reaper's corpse to the screen infront of him.'It won't hurt to confirm the rewards before getting the hell out of here.'Out of curiousity, Ajax clicked on the notification to see the sweet rewards he must have earned from defeating the mutan
