They all stared at the glowing corals in their hands, completely shell-shocked. The coral gave off a beautiful rainbow glow, but its illumination didn't seem to radiate out. Instead, it poured out gently, like a flowing river..."These are called Vitality Corals. They will grant you a chance at survival. It is up to you to grasp it with your own hands..."Stan stared at the group of people with a stoic gaze, but his heart was completely in turmoil. After all, he had just asked a difficult question.Giving them a foreign substance for them to take into their body that could end up killing them, or leaving them to a fate worse than death was something he had a bit of an internal struggle when doing.Should anything bad happen to them, it meant their blood would be on his head..."So you are saying if we eat these things, we will have powers like you and Sue?" Maya asked with a dumbfounded expression."Yes, but unlike us, you will have to pay a price for the power you will attain. These

Rhys and the {Phantasma} locked eyes for a brief second, their bodies tensed and ready for another charge. Despite Rhys having just killed one of his men, J'orntz didn't seem even a little bit concerned.Suddenly, J'orntz adjusted his position from a fighting stance to a less threatening one that still didn't leave any openings. Ignoring Rhys's confusion, he began to speak,"The devil race is an ancient and unique race unlike any in the domain of the Nomad...""Hey, hey... When did this turn into a history lesson..." Rhys couldn't hide his confusion, but he also adjusted his posture and assumed a more comfortable, yet attentive one, just in case the Soul Devil before him was trying to be smart with him and have other invincible devils sneak up on him as he spoke.The {Phantasma} continued in a dream-like voice as its eyes glazed over, "Unlike most races, we, the devil race thrive in the void. We do not have a homeworld, as we bear a curse that prohibits us from creating an existence o

'I need to end this fight, now!'Rhys felt increased urgency when he saw what happened to Jayden. Even though they were all powerful in their own right, their power was still limited. They had fought for as long as they could, and now, their stamina and mana reserves were already at the bottom of the barrel.The only way they had survived so long was because of MP and HP regen potions...Not that their main defense was crippled, the only thing they could do was try to finish off the rest of the devil army before the {Flame Devil} made its way over and slaughtered them all.'However, it isn't so easy...' Rhys felt a cold sweat slide down his temple as he clashed blades with the {Phantasma} for the 1001st time. Because of the {Phantasma}, he was unable to interfere with the main battle. The {Phantasma} was just as strong as he was, if not stronger, and he as well was running low on his stamina and mana reserves.'I'm keeping {Hollow Judgment} for the big guy, but I need something to tak

'Should I use it?'Cade was torn between two choices...On one end, he could use the skill he had in mind and embark on a journey of no return. He wouldn't be able to turn the hands of time if he regretted it, and he would have to live with the choice he made for all eternity. It was his final trump card, something he was so confident in, so much so that he was willing to bet his life on it.A skill so grand, he was not sure he could bear the consequences.However, the other choice was just as bad, if not worse. The first choice offered him great power at a cost, while the second meant remaining as he was.Weak...As a 'No trigger', Cade understood that to survive in a lawless world filled with terrifying nightmarish creatures like the mutants and devils, he couldn't stay the way he was for too long. The system could only provide so much help.Only those who were ready to sacrifice when it counted would acquire true power..."To attain true power, I must first this useless mortal body

BOOM!The two beings completely ignored their heavy injuries as they dashed at one another with weapons in hand to engage in primal melee combat.Rhys held nothing back as he utilized every single resource at hand in the deadly fight. His {Heavy Armor} had been completely destroyed, with most of the parts having been melted by the intense heat from the Phantasma's deadly spell.The spell was a combination of the Phantasma's understanding of the wind, fire, and earth elements, hence it was only understandable that the spell would be extremely powerful.Not only was the {Heavy Armor} destroyed beyond repair, but Rhys's body also went through an unbelievable amount of pummeling. If not for his {Heavy Armor}, and the other defensive measures he took, there was no doubt he would have been crushed to pieces by the spell.Even so, his body had taken a lot of damage...Many of his bones had been broken by the impact of the falling rocks, and he suffered burns of varying degrees from the flame
