Chapter 157: Blood and Honor
"BARA..." Rendi screamed, tears mixed with blood flowing down his cheeks. His throat felt like it was burning with unbearable despair.However, in the middle of that blood puddle, something defying the laws of nature occurred.Bara did not pass out. He refused to pass out.The death of Old Man Thomas, Rahayu's spilled blood in the bunker, and the weight of his oath of loyalty to Eka burned away the pain signals in his brain. The giant youth's body trembled violently, not out of fear, but out of pure anger exploding beyond the limits of mortal sanity.Bara lost his left arm, but his right hand still gripped the hilt of the greatsword lodged in the monster's neck.The Obsidian Commander stumbled one step backward after jerking Bara's arm off. The monster thought its prey would immediately collapse to the ground and bleed to death.The monster was wrong."Did you think..." Bara whispered with a voice that no longe
Chapter 156: The Price of Loyalty
The obsidian spikes pierced through the protective plate of Bara's left shoulder without resistance. The sound of tearing flesh meeting the crunch of a shattered collarbone echoed wetly amidst the silence of the gorge. The curved tips of the black stone claws dug deep, ripping through muscle fibers, severing major arteries, and locking Bara's left shoulder joint in a deadly hydraulic grip.Fresh blood sprayed out heavily like a burst high-pressure pipe. The warm red liquid drenched the giant youth's armored chest, then splashed heavily onto the monster's obsidian stone surface.Bara did not scream. He did not howl begging for mercy. Unimaginable pain exploded in his nervous system, stinging his brain until his vision went white for a moment. His airway was clogged with clumps of thick liquid. Instead of stepping back or dropping his weapon, Bara drew a short breath through clenched teeth. The giant youth spat a clump of thick blood rig
Chapter 155: Echoes from the Past and the Final Shield
"I will never allow you to hurt my group, you damn Demon." Bara roared while mobilizing his B-Rank Hunter Qi.His calloused hands tightly gripped the handle of his greatsword, which was beginning to crack. The heat from the boiling purple fluid around him burned the skin of his thighs. An agonizing pain stung his entire nervous system, making his vision swim with red spots.Amidst the physical torture crushing his bones, Bara's mind did not drift toward death.His memory slid far through the fog of time, back to a quiet corner of a courtyard in Camp Lembang, in front of a mound of wet earth with a simple wooden cross.Old Man Thomas's grave.He remembered his grandfather's rough, wrinkled hands, hands that always patted his shoulder when he woke up from nightmares about the apocalypse. He remembered how his grandfather, an old man with absolutely no magical power, was willing to jump in front of demon claws inside the Camp Bogor bunker to protect Eka's mother.Old people like me have
Chapter 154: Guardian Angel
The stone fist the size of a mini car plunged from the night sky, cleaving the air with a gravitational snort that crushed the gravel around Rendi's head.A black shadow swallowed the tactical lieutenant's face. Rendi squeezed his eyes shut. All the nerves in both of his arms were numb; metal shards from his exploded spear were still lodged in the flesh of his stomach. Inside his leaking chest cavity, he had no internal energy left to even pull his legs away from that trajectory of death.However, the fist strike never touched its target.Exactly one handspan above Rendi's forehead, an incredibly loud metallic clash shook the entire gorge.CLANG.The sound of the collision was deafening, releasing a shockwave that threw black mud dozens of meters in all directions. Sparks flared brightly in the darkness, illuminating a large gray sword lying firmly across to block the base of the
Chapter 153: A Hopeless Situation
BAM.A physical shockwave exploded from the point of impact, blowing away sharp gravel around them.However, the obsidian monster only shifted half a step. Its knee joint did not break. From the circular hole in its chest, the dark purple fluid spun faster, absorbing most of the destructive force of Vincen's punch into its body's circulation.Vincen felt his finger bones crack beneath the iron gauntlets. "Its bones absorb physical impacts. It rejects the destructive power of punches."Before Vincen could pull his hands back, the monster moved.It did not punch back using its hands. The Obsidian Commander simply lifted its left leg half a meter high, then stomped it back into the ground with full gravitational force.BOOM.A destructive vibration traveled instantly along the path.The rocks on the edge of the road crac
Chapter 152: Trap in the Cliff Crevice
The rumble exploding from the southern slope was not just the sound of landslides.The vibrations from the bowels of the earth crushing the hill path traveled instantly, shaking the foundation of the trail where dozens of Abyss Faction logistics carts were passing. The metallic smell of blood and sulfur spewed from the earth fissure immediately slapped the faces of the guard troops, tearing the cold Lembang air into a stuffy and suffocating atmosphere.Rendi did not have time to stabilize his steps as the asphalt in front of his feet cracked and split.Right before his eyes, the ground cracked open forming a new gorge thirty meters wide with pitch-black depth. Two carts carrying grain sacks and medicine crates pulled by mutant horses slipped instantly. Piercing screams from the draft animals and a dozen logistics soldiers echoed briefly in the air before their bodies disappeared swallowed by the darkness of the ravine, h
