2024-04-22 10:05:55There were many reasons why Gary ran away after seeing the tiger zombie. Ai had told him that he would be able to level up faster than others, so when he himself was level 18, how could there be a level 25 tiger zombie?
Did this mean that the levels of animals were built differently compared to humans? Or was there something else that Gary didn’t know about.
There were so many questions running through his mind, and the downright scary appearance of the tiger zombie didn’t help that either.
Despite how he felt, he had to attack this monster for the sake of reaching his goal. He jumped and kicked up at the tiger as it came down at him.
Before his leg could hit the tiger, its long paw struck his chest and sent him packing down to the ground. The tiger zombie landed on the ground and sprang forth to pounce upon him while he was still on the ground.
[Get up!] Ai shouted. [You can’t fight that monster on the ground!]
Gary, however, clenched his fist and readily threw his fist at the tiger that pounced on him. His fist connected, and all of his 450 strength stat packed a pretty punch that broke one of its fangs and made the tiger zombie groan in pain. But it still didn’t let go of the advantage it had. It stayed on top of Gary and tried to bite his head off even after losing a fang.
[I told you!] Ai shouted again. [Get off the ground, or you’ll lose.]
Even though Ai made it sound easy, Gary was already being overpowered. His chest was profusely bleeding from having taken a claw attack from the tiger zombie, and he was still doing his best to not get eaten by it. It was taking all of his strength just to survive and not get caught in its mouth. So, how would he be able to get out of this situation when he wasn’t even in a position to think about escaping?
The struggle was as real as it could get. One wrong move, and his head could get bitten off. He didn’t have any available points to put on strength, so he had no other option left but to keep trying with what he got.
In that desperate struggle, he managed to grab the tiger zombie’s forelimbs and move a paw into the line of the tiger’s mouth. The tiger zombie was too furious to see what was happening, and it ended up biting on its own paw.
Screaming, it jumped off of Gary.
Without wasting a moment, Gary got up to his feet and attacked the humanoid tiger zombie with his legs this time as he could put his maximum strength through his kicks.
The tiger zombie’s bones, however, were sturdy enough to deal with his kicks. Gary still didn’t give up.
[Target its thighs.] Ai yelled. [Strike the side of the thigh repeatedly!]
Gary was so desperate, he followed Ai’s words and kept whipping his leg at the tiger zombie’s thigh.
The tiger zombie was forced to its knees.
[Attack its neck with all you got! NOW!]
Gary spun and gathered as much momentum as he could into the kick. His shin whistled through the air and struck the neck of the tiger zombie so perfectly, the tiger zombie’s head crashed to the ground and its neck broke.
[Crush its skull!]
Gary jumped high, somersaulted multiple times in air, and came down with a heel kick that struck the tiger’s skull and split it. The tiger zombie slowly stopped struggling.
But Gary’s heel bone also cracked, but he didn’t cringe in pain and instead bore it all. Nevertheless, he had to sit down because his muscles were all spent.
[Incredible Achievement!]
[You’ve defeated an opponent that was more than seven levels higher than you!]
[You’re the fifteenth person in the world to achieve this since the start of the apocalypse!]
[You leveled up!]
Gary was very much happy with his level rising to 20 directly, and because of this level change, his bleeding also stopped, but he asked Ai, “Wait, how do you know that I’m the fifteenth person to achieve this feat in the world? What the fuck are you not telling me?”
[Calm down, Gary. I’m not your enemy.] Ai tried to play it cool.
“Yeah? How can I trust you when you keep things from me?” Gary growled.
“The people who survived the energy wave when the heaven’s gate opened are eventually granted with a system that would help them level up. You also received one minutes after I entered your body, but I absorbed it, so I know what’s happening around the world because I copy the data of the central system that’s overseeing the guardians.]
“Guardians?”
[Guardians are the people that survived the opening of the gate. You are also a guardian because you received the system. But then you’re also not a guardian because the central system can’t oversee you as I absorbed the system it sent you.]
“What the hell is this central system?”
[The local heavens are trying to stop the invasion of the foreign species using an advanced artificial system. Their way of countering is to strengthen its people into powerful soldiers that can defeat the enemies and close the gate.]
“Huh? So they have the same job as me?” Gary was shocked.
[Yeah, but you think all of them will unify to fight the Immortal King? I don’t think so. Even if they try to get together, the seven keys won’t let them. The job of the seven keys is to prepare this world for the Immortal King to enjoy it.]
“Enjoy? Like what? He’s gonna rape the world or something?” Gary looked disgusted.
[He’s going to EAT all of you. From elderly people to infants, from the tallest trees to tiny saplings, from great mountains to meager rocks, he’s going to enjoy devouring all of you bit by bit. If you want me to speak in your world’s terms, he’s the devil incarnate.]
Gary felt chills all over his body. His hands stood at the ends. “And you want me to defeat that monster?”
[No, you don’t have enough time. You won’t be able to level up enough to defeat him. All you need to do is defeat the seven keys and close the heaven’s gate! Otherwise, you can kiss your world goodbye.]

A few minutes later.Sesi returned with a honeycomb that was bigger than her. It was only a part of the honeycomb she had ripped from the full honeycomb.But the smell of the honey was so thick it made Gary and Leah give it a taste before Sesi offered them.However, they didn’t taste it directly.Leah first put her honey-coated finger in Gary’s hand. He told her it was good and then put his honey-coated finger in her mouth. She nodded in agreement, and her countenance also greatly brightened.“This is really sweet,” Leah’s voice also became more lively, which surprised Sesi all the more. She didn’t think Leah had such a positive side to her as she mostly looked serious so far.It was as if Leah had become a teenager after tasting the honey and temporarily forgot all her burdens.The way Gary and Leah interacted also changed. The mood has lightened very much.Sesi was beginning to see what could have made these two fall in love with each other. As she was also starting to feel a bit je
CHAPTER 146
Gary and his team were going down the lonely path which was covered with thick leaves that were up to their ankle height.Some of these leaves were big enough for multiple humans to sleep upon.The road itself was wide as a river.Everything was big, and Goya was feeling a bit dizzy from the scale as it was quite awesome and fearsome at the same time.Wendevorr sniffed the air. “I smell something sweet.”“The hunter bees live in the east,” Liu said. “They live in groups, so I don't think we should bother them.”“If there are bees, then we can find honey, right?” Sesi snickered, bumping her fists together, releasing flames through her hair. “It’s going to be easy to chase them away with my ability.”“Let’s go and lick some fresh honey then,” Liu suddenly changed his attitude as he had longed to taste the Hunter’s Honey but couldn’t do so because the hunter bees were quite dangerous.“All of us aren’t needed,” Gary said. “Liu and Sesi. Both of you will take care of it. We’ll keep walkin
CHAPTER 145
“I asked for grape juice!” Sesi barked. “But what the hell is this?”“It is grape juice,” the innkeeper looked offended. “It’s fresh. If you drink it, you’ll know.”“You want me to DRINK THIS?” Sesi’s eyes turned red. Rowan grabbed her hand because he felt like she might slap the innkeeper out of anger. “Can a human even drink this? No, even monkeys won’t go near this shit!”Sesi’s words offended not just the innkeeper but also the other customers who loved the grape juice. After all, those grapes were harvested from the grape trees growing in the same village, the Newmere village. So, their pride was hurt when Sesi mocked the grape juice.“Sesi,” Leah intervened. “There’s no need to cause a scene if you didn’t like the drink.”“Leah, just look at this!” she pointed at the mug. “The grape skin and seeds are floating in the drink! How am I supposed to drink it? Uwwgh, I feel like vomiting just thinking about it!”“Maybe, they don’t add grapeskin and seeds in the drink, but we leave the
CHAPTER 144
The adult customers were in awe and disbelief, whereas the children were giggling and smirking from seeing Prince Liu personally serving drinks to a foreign group of four.From Liu, they came to know that the trees in the village weren’t giant a few decades back, but ever since cultivators began to bury the bodies of some beasts around the village, the trees absorbed the nutrients and grew in size and produced food all year, which improved the livelihood of the villagers very much.“You’re only twenty two years old?” Rowan’s eyes bulged in shock. “What the heck, man? You look like you’re forty years old!”Liu angrily smiled. “Yeah, some people say that to me, but all the girls in this village would die to marry me. It’s just that I haven’t found the right woman for me yet.” His eyes fell on Sesi.“Don’t even think about it,” Sesi retorted coldly. “You’re not at all my type. Too macho for me to even feel anything.”Liu then looked at Leah, but she was just fully immersed in talking wit
CHAPTER 143
If reality blended seamlessly with dreams, then it would look like what Gary and everyone else was staring at right now.The towering mountains and crystalline rivers aside, there were young children riding on big foxes and were plucking fruits off the trees. There were beautiful young ladies riding butterflies that flitted from flower to flower and helped the ladies collect honey in leather sacs.The small village that Gary and his friends had first been to was full of giant trees and animals, but the humans were of normal size.The village guards escorted them to the inn and said, “Don’t cause any trouble, or you’ll regret it.”Goya found their words offensive. “Should I just beat him up and show him his place?”“Don’t cause unnecessary trouble,” Wendevorr told her. “Did you already forget what Lord Gary told us? We’re not supposed to fight anyone unless it gets life-threatening.”Goya seemed disappointed. “But that’s boring.”After killing so many monsters, Goya was still in the sl
CHAPTER 142
By the time Gary and his team left the woods, having absorbed the crystal cores and boosting their stats and abilities, they felt more confident than ever.Goya was sitting cross-legged on top of Wendevorr’s head. She was at level 698, and he was at level 699.Rowan increased by ten levels and reached 612.Sesi increased to level 630.Leah went from level 700 to 703.Gary’s level was exactly 800 after defeating the mighty wolf Wynn. He felt much stronger than your average level 800 being would, but he still felt like his current strength was nowhere near enough to deal with all the seven keys, much less their boss, the Immortal King.Leah and Sesi were discussing a lot ever since Leah regained her memories. Sesi wanted to know their love story, so Leah kept telling her everything. Some of the details were a bit too embarrassing, so Gary kept his distance from the ladies.Rowan was leading the group in the front. “I’m still the lowest-leveled in the group, dammit. I know I should be ha
