In that moment, he changed his target from one of the two subordinate yetis to the boss Yeti, because he knew that if he could land a fatal blow to the heart, he wouldn’t even need to worry about anything like the life bar again; it was a straight death sentence.The yeti would die instantly from a bullet to the heart.However, just before he could get his hopes up that high, he saw the sword-wielding yeti place its left hand which was glowing with an icy blue hue into the frost-covered ground before it, and the wound on its chest started to cover up with ice patching the area up.This caused him to swiftly look at its life bar, and he realized that there had not been any difference to it, it was still around the halfway line, which eased his mind. It wasn’t regenerating its life, it was just making itself more difficult to kill, and just like that, Jake changed his aim back to the yeti he had planned to kill earlier, before his greed for taking out a boss-level monster clouded his m

Though the press really wanted to get a chance to talk with Lionel and know everything that had happened inside the portal world, the fact that it was a closed Rare-rank portal that had just been cleared made them all desperate for news about it.However, Lionel made the excuse that he had injuries he needed to heal and that the soldiers who had followed him are in dire need to be admitted so they could be inspected for any hidden injuries.That was how he stylishly ran away from the media, leaving James to take their questions on what the next step for the Region F military would be, while all of this was happening, one of the MVPs in clearing the gate was finding it hard to look away from the notifications on his system screen.[Cleared a Rare Rank Gate.]⟩ +400 Experience Points.⟩ +400 Weapon Experience Points.⟩ +200 B-Coins.⟩ +200 Pilot Coins.⟩ +5 Fortune Keys.[Level Up.][Soul Accumulation has reached a limit and can be exchanged for a low-rank reward box.]Jake had given up

Jake could only watch as all four men moved to a corner to talk about him as though he wasn’t in the same room with them.However, no matter how much they tried to keep their voices low, Jake was an Awakened just like them, and since they weren’t using any type of sound-blocking device, he was able to piece together fragments of their argument.The old man he didn’t recognize seemed strongly opposed to the idea they were proposing. However, despite his disagreement, he still offered them his full support.“Jake, we suspect that you truly were a Common-rank talent before. However, it seems that while you were inside that evolved gate, some of its mana must have helped push your talent forward since you were already at the peak of the Common rank,” Silas began explaining as he walked towards him.After hearing the first few things Silas had to say, Jake realized that even though they might have tested him and collected some of his data, it didn’t mean they knew everything about him, one

After the team’s conversation ended and everyone prepared to return home, Jake pulled Toby aside and asked him a few questions about something that had been bothering him—’what exactly was a Geno-Art?’At first, Toby was quite surprised that his squad leader would ask such a question because practically every Awakened knew about Geno-Arts.Jake soon learned that Geno-Arts were special techniques used by super soldiers to cultivate and push their levels toward the peak at a much faster rate.It was said that once an Awakened soldier became capable of manifesting more than fifty percent output from their main talent alone, the Geno-Art they cultivated would awaken a special power connected to the nature of that art.Someone cultivating a cold-type Geno-Art could awaken frost-related powers, while someone following a flame-type Geno-Art could manifest abilities related to fire.For the average Awakened below the Rare rank, there was little reason to think about summoning their merged mech

Annan had managed to get his hands on one of the official reports the Region F military submitted to the Bureau, with his connections and a convenient excuse that he wanted to study the tactics used during the clearing of a Rare-rank gate, it had been easy for him to obtain a photocopy of what had truly happened.The Military bases always submitted reports detailing every gate-clearing expedition to the Bureau, just as individual military squads in every region submitted reports of their completed missions to the military base.(However, Toby was the one who normally handled such matters for Jake, p.s just in case anyone is wondering.)From the official report, Annan and the many other military officials who had taken an interest in the incident discovered that although it had been a Rare-rank gate, it was still an immature one. The boss monster had not yet advanced into the Lord rank, which was what gave the Region F soldiers a chance to defeat it, though the boss monster might have
