Rhys heaved a sigh. He also wasn't sure if he would survive, just like these desperate men. Looking at their faces, Rhys was able to see all sorts of emotions. However, none of these emotions were good ones.Some bore deep resentment, some burning anger, and others, wicked despair that consumed them...He was uncertain. He had fought {Blood Abominations} before, and they weren't terrifyingly strong. The only reason they were so feared, was because they tended to move in herds, which was a rather terrible thing for those fighting them.However, what he was unsure of the most, was Angel, or rather, Stingè. Pulling out the {Hand of Stingè} from his inventory, he proceeded to go through it once again.His eyelids twitched violently. The description of the weapon stated that Stingè was an absolute menace on the battlefield. What this meant, was that he was a fighter. Rhys couldn't piece them both together at all...The first time Rhys had interacted with Stingè, he concluded that it was th

"Is this the Kid?"Cade sighed, "Floki, he saved so many of your men. The least you can do is offer him your thanks."The giant beastman snorted, "Do you have any proof? You really can't expect me to believe this lanky kid has that much power."Rhys's narrowed dangerously, 'Lanky?!'Although Rhys was muscular, he had lean muscles. Compared to the huge and brawny Floki, he looked like a bundle of straws."Hmph! Why are you sniffing the kid's shit, Cade ? This isn't like you..." The reptilian beastman said with a devious grin on his face, inciting roars of laughter from a certain section of the crowd.Rhys glanced over and could tell that a majority of the beastmen there all had reptilian features like scales or webbed appendages.Despite the insult, Cade remained unshaken,"I have nothing to say to a weakling..." Cade said coldly.Galip, the reptilian, growled, his yellow eyes flashing with sinister light. Two black and sinister short blades appeared in his hands,"Then why don't we st

The moment Rhys stopped speaking, two shadows moved at lightning speed.Floki's eyes glowed with a vibrant blue, while Galip stuck his tongue out as a viscous poison coated the edges of his serrated blades.They moved so fast, that barely anyone in the hall had time to respond. Barely, but not everyone...In a split second, Cade , Layla , and zara made their moves...Cade 's form changed slightly. His tail turned bushier, his fangs and claws grew out, and his eye became as scalding as magma.With just a single step he was before Floki, swinging a left hook...Layla simply pulled out her sniper rifle and aimed it at Malcolm, who was still seated at the table, unmoving, but with a very dark expression on his face.zara wanted to go after Galip, but she hesitated for a second, causing him to close the distance rather quickly.A sinister grin spread across the reptilian's eyes as he chanted a spell under his breath,"Flesh Erosion!"He was going to stick his blade into Rhys's flesh and wa

He had greatly underestimated her...He remembered her telling him some time ago that she was great with handling people. She was. She was better than great. She was so good at it, it was a bit terrifying...Much to everyone's surprise, numerous men from each baseman camp flooded into Cade 's. It didn't matter what they looked like. Avians, reptilians, or even bipedal furry creatures. They all took that step mainly because of one person... zara .Rhys was shook turning to the beautiful with the long black hair and incredible cleavage, he couldn't help but ask,"This... What exactly did you tell all these guys?"A small, yet proud smile surfaced on her lips as she confidently proclaimed,"It was no big deal, really. All these men needed was hope, and I showed them that the only person that can provide it to them... is you."Rhys scratched his head, "Er... You flatter me. I have no intention of giving them hope. I'm just giving their fates back to them."Layla rolled her eyes,"That's w

While this might mean they were terrible at some things, it also meant they would be perfect candidates for others like carrying heavy shields and charging at the enemy, turning them into pancakes.A whopping hundred and twenty out of the entire army were chosen to be archers. And this was for a good reason. Rhys had very special plans for them, as they were the nexus of the plan to pierce through the encirclement. Or rather, the weapons they would wield were...Seventy of them fit the description to be chosen as melee combatants, while ten were chosen as scouts...The reason all of this was so easy was thanks to the buffs the different physiques provided. A beastman that bore a resemblance to a creature that was known for its strength would possess similar strength. Although it wouldn't be as great as someone who had the ability to farm strength stat points through the system, they were far stronger than normal humans.Although they couldn't control regular mana, they were able to ta
