Clap.Clap! Clap!!After the cheers slowly died down, a steady clap continued, and it came from the Silver-ranked cat man, still standing at the edge of the arena.All eyes shifted to the last man still standing.Micheal lifted his head slightly, breathing hard, his body still tense from the fight.The silver ranked cat man clapped slowly, his expression calm.“I am deeply shocked,” he began, his voice clear enough for everyone to hear. “If I wasn’t here to see this myself, I wouldn’t believe it if someone else told me.”He stopped clapping, letting his hand fall to his side.“A mid-tier bronze… standing against multiple high-tier fighters, did humans really know how talented you are and left you to rot here?” He asked and then looked at the timer. Micheal followed his gaze, it remained about only 30 mins, they had 30 minutes to decide a winner. The Silver-ranked cat man finally moved.He stepped away from the edge of the field, slow and steady, the dagger in his hand reflecting a du

“I can’t contact Dad… he’s probably in a void space again,” Aina said, her voice sounding with frustration. She had been trying for so long to reach him, but nothing worked. He was the only one strong enough to save Micheal or at least force the cat men to release him, but no matter what she did, she couldn’t get through.“Are we even sure he’s still alive?” Kaida asked, her tone uncertain. If they couldn’t reach their father, and they couldn’t reach Micheal either, then they had no way of knowing what had happened to him.“This is fucked up. He should have pressed the button before he logged in. What the hell…” Aina muttered angrily.Meanwhile, in the arena, Micheal still stood where he was as cheers echoed all around him.Lord Luggard slowly stood to his feet. “We have our winner, everyone. The fun is over,” he announced, before his gaze settled on Micheal.At that moment, what he felt wasn't just surprise towards Micheal. There was fear there… and respect. If Micheal grew any stron

Meanwhile, Micheal didn’t know how everyone was doing, but from what Alex told him after they talked, things seemed to be going fine.Maya wasn't doing too bad, she was in mid tier bronze level and Aina had taken a liking to her after meeting up in Elyria, and since both of them used twin blades, she personally trained Maya. From what Alex said, Gina, Dinna, himself, and Vanishing Cloud were all at high-tier bronze level because of a mission they had completed. It involved capturing a special monster, and their reward was a large number of Elyria crystals. Because of the danger they faced during the hunt, along with the crystals they received, they were able to level up quickly.On the leaderboard, Alex was leading their group overall in the global rankings with a rank of 600. If he could maintain that position, he would reach the silver base within a month. However, if he managed to break through to the silver rank within that month, he would automatically qualify too. Still, brea

The guard didn’t hesitate and slashed at Micheal.Micheal immediately used ASAAM to escape.“Come on, you know I was just playing,” Micheal said to the cat as he dodged the attack.But the cat simply lay lazily on the floor, watching as Micheal and the head guard played a deadly game of cat and mouse.Seeing the cat’s lack of interest, Micheal acted quickly. He used ASAAM again, appearing right behind the cat, grabbed it, and threw it straight into the path of the next incoming attack.“Meoooww…!” the cat cried out angrily in midair.It twisted its body swiftly and struck at the attack with its claws. The two attacks canceled each other out, but the cat was sent tumbling backward, landing right on top of Lord Lugard’s blood on the ground.“Meoooww…” it cried again, clearly annoyed.Micheal could tell that it valued its neatness above everything. And he could feel its anger through their contract. The cat immediately leapt toward the guard.And they engaged in a brutal fight. For a

The wave of shock lingered for a while.Necromancer remained silent, visibly helpless about the situation.“Audacious kid,” the middle-aged woman finally said, breaking the silence. “Let’s take a vote.”Micheal still didn’t know who most of them were. He didn’t even know who Necromancer truly was.If he had known, perhaps he wouldn’t have had the courage to speak like that.At least that was what Kelvin and Rockstar, standing nearby, thought to themselves.Micheal remained on his knees as the decision process began before him.“In the absence of some vital members, the vote will be among those present,” the woman announced.Then the vote was carried out.As expected, the result was heavily against Micheal.Out of the fifteen people on the screen, only three voted in his favor.“Necromancer, you must cast your vote as well,” the woman said, turning her attention to him.Necromancer shook his head slightly.“If my single vote doesn’t amount to at least ten, there is no need for me to vo
