Now, the humans sent into this unruly had managed to secure two territories and for a complete one week, they had actually not been besieged by other mutant beasts looking for a territory to conquer, or even those troublesome beasts that would love to snatch other territories for their own benefit.It was actually a period of planning and resting for them and Bruce was glad. The Ascendant mutant beast that Rime had immobilized and Shifeng had killed, Bruce had absorbed the core and they were like three essence cores and three godly cores.Ascendants, though they had a measure of godliness… they were still forged from essence so… Bruce was able to get a bit of essence to replenish his energy that he had expended. He gave Leo one of the godly cores and saved the other two for two other Mages in Orion's territory.They will probably come in handy.A month went by in a blink of an eye and they were yet to move out of their second territory.Eventually, they had to go find other territorie

The sky was dark when they approached another territory inhabited by several mutant beasts… Tier 5 to be precise. That formidable will from earlier, Bruce could no longer detect it… powerful thoughts from a mutant beast, capable of bending the laws of existence, twisting reality, changing space.A shiver crawled down his spine. ‘Where on earth is that lord?’Not just him though, everyone had that question in their mind. Shifeng, Rumiel, Rime, Leo… Sid and Susan were the only one who looked relaxed, or should I call it, ignorant. These two remained ignorant to the situation that Bruce was starting to imagine whether they both had a hand in this beast's disappearance…Normally, defeating a couple of Tier 5 monsters was not going to be a problem, but if the Lord is actually hiding, laying ambush on them then they really had to be very careful.Whoever that Lord is, then it could be very dangerous… so they had to tread with caution.“I don't think there's a beast of higher rank there.”

Bruce sighed. “I think I have to speak with that deity. This is too much.” He turned to leave but Shifeng pulled him back suddenly and offered a soft smile. “Hey… can't we just finish this thing once and for all?”Bruce stared at the man but snickered almost immediately. “Lost already? Are you scared that you might lose the false power you've gotten here in this false world?” He raised a brow, making Shifeng frown, his eyes narrowing.“Well let's just say… I am getting used to the powers at least let me test it before trying to get us out of the game.”Bruce mocked. “Get us out of the game? How is that even possible? The deity had designed the death game in such a way that allows humanity to win and we've successfully met those requirements. You think it'll listen and pull us out of it? I only want to question it.”Shifeng paused for a while… “oh.” Then he smiled and added, “carry on.”Rime sat on the ground, watching as Bruce disappeared into the distance. Rumiel settled just besi

Rime sighed.“Walk with you? Are you playing games? I really don't have time for it.” Rumiel immediately punched him lightly on the shin and whispered. “Let's go with…”Then Anthony led the way as the two followed behind, not until Anthony started asking these questions that caused Rime's warning bells to ring continuously.“Didn't your teacher say that the both of you can defeat me especially as a lord.” He smiled, stopped and turned.Rumiel and Rime also stopped in their tracks, eyes piercing daggers right at Anthony, only to see Damien, Gideon and Adams appear from nowhere.Damien smiled. “This is not our territory. No one will find out about our little spar… and yes, I now lord a territory. We want to see how you win against us.”Rime grabbed Rumiel's hands and with the augmentation, his powers became much more deadly. Anthony activated his aspect ability and opened his eyes, causing everything around them to lose color in a split second. The void became brittle and it shattere

“How is that even possible? How do you even know this? You are not the founder of this death game or are you?” Shifeng sneered at Bruce who in return snarled in anger.“Listen to me Shifeng, the next time you'll talk when not asked to, I promise you this, I will gang up on you with my students and we will kill you. Remember, I could mend Leo's broken core, I can also take something from the deity that would immediately end your miserable life without any moment's notice.”Shifeng felt a terrifying chill crawl down his spine hearing Bruce's threat. This is definitely not the first time that Bruce had threatened him… but obviously this is surely the first effect it had on him.Judy, who had wanted to retort, was stopped immediately by the other two Mages. That was a warning, who knew what Bruce would do if Judy interrupted again, especially when he had just warned Shifeng.Bruce smiled darkly. “Maybe next time, anyone who wants to oppose me will have to think twice before doing such a
