Seeing Isaac stagger like a drunk with a drunk mouth, Jane's smile turns into anxiety.
She made the wrong decision to rush to him to find out what was wrong with him.
Isaac's beast felt Jane approach him through her feminine perfume that was like a pheromone intended to make him lose his mind.
He wanted to prevent her from approaching him, but his inability to think calmly made him vulnerable against his will.
His charm, considered a security measure in an emergency, was activated against his will and soon took Jane as a target.
As for Jane, not having the God-like Online system embedded, she could not be warned by Isaac's spiritual attack.
"Hey, are you okay?" The agitation and innocence in her voice made Isaac bitter in his heart when he saw Jane near him.
Not determined to go to the end with her, at least not in this manner, he looked for a simplistic way to momentarily fight the toxic torpor which nibbled over his conscience and plunged his heart into madness.
While clenching his teeth he then stabbed his thigh, to fight against his nature with the pain that momentarily awakened his consciousness.
Gradually, his eyes regained their healthy gleams, his panting breath became regular. 'Too scary! To say that the effect is not even boosting yet? This curse is anything but good.' He mumbles with scary eyes.
Frowning, Jane tripped back a few steps. "Uh! I didn't know you had such maso inclinations...-
"Wrong!" Isaac swore out loud, regretting at the same time, his sacrifice.
Jane had noticed her strange state; but by dint of hiding her thoughts by the veil of innocence that constantly covers her face, she became the opposite of what she is.
But on the other hand, Jane's sarcasm was the least of Isaac's worries.
He takes out his black sword and looks at the supermarket. 'Even if it's a momentary solution, it will allow me to think calmly after returning the favor to the bastards who dared to attack us with their contracted pet.' His mind warmed up as he walked to the supermarket with Jane behind him.
'A tamer in itself is weak in singular combat, but some tamers have special classes. And given the bold decision of the tamer of this lizard, I doubt that he is pie.
-All the facts show that he has absolute confidence in our defeat. If he is alone, it means he has a special class or other more powerful monsters under his command, otherwise, he must be in a group.' It stops five meters from the supermarket.
"My infrared radar detects a group of players behind these doors."
Isaac turns to her and gives her a confused look. "How many are they exactly?" His surprise only lasts briefly before he understands the reason by seeing Jane's black monocle.
"Thirty..-."
She rectified herself. "No, thirty-one players in all."
"...Can you see their levels?" Isaac asks, based on the darkness on his teammate's face.
But against all odds, Jane's eyes have become fierce and an unknown rage pops itself in her heart like bubbles of water popping in Soda's can.
"These bastards are among those who attacked us when you were in the dungeon with Maria!" She mutters with hateful eyes that Isaac had never seen before.
But wonderment forces him to forget Jane's agitated state. "W-what...?"
The door of the supermarket suddenly opened up before Isaac finished his sentence.
In the same second, a man dressed in a black leather coat and military boots came out of the supermarket.
His face had a sword scar on his cheek, giving him an intimidating look. His brown eyes roared with malice and his dark and satisfying smile could not hide his confidence; His hair was tied in a short ponytail and his muscular body was about 180cm.
He crossed his arms, momentarily looking at Jane's eyes before focusing on Isaac whom he saw as a threat.
"I have only one thing to tell you, join me and become my minion. Otherwise, you will make perfect goods in the black market." His fearless and confident voice resonates in Isaac and Jane's ears like an unpleasant noise that he would not like to hear once again.
Sighing calmly, Isaac points his sword at the man. "Do you have anything else to say?"
[Player: Kevin (Lvl 61)]
[HP: 65/65]
[IP: 60]
'Given that he has passed level 50, I can't guess if he owns a legacy or not. But according to his build, it's not the tamer I was looking for.' Isaac looks at his giant sword while mumbling these words.
Kevin's smile threatens to collapse when he hears Isaac's arrogant words.
-Snap!
After he snapped his fingers, the group that Jane had detected instead, came out of the supermarket.
But Isaac was still not satisfied; although he saw so many players, he could not locate the tamer.
Kevin looks at Isaac with a cruel smile on his lips. "In this case, I have another suggestion." He mutters.
"Surrender yourselves and we...-
"You talk too much, fucker." Isaac cut him off. "I wonder how these assholes bear up with such shit that you are?"
"...Kill this son of--
-BANG!
Jane shoots Kevin before he finishes his sentence.
But even if her shot was precise and fast, Kevin still managed to avoid it by tilting his head to the side.
Instead of him, one of his henchmen took the bullet in his place and died instantly!
"Jane, step back and take care of the furthest; I'll take care of the rest!" Isaac whispers while smiling.
But unlike him, Kevin's expression was anything but good to contemplate. Drawing his giant sword on his back, he orders his minions to encircle Isaac.
Not forgetting Jane too, triggermen, magi, and archers engage with Jane in a Royal Battle of shooting.
Taking advantage of this situation while Jane is busy, Kevin's men approached Isaac with wolf smiles.
Counting on their numbers, they surrounded Isaac and approached him at a slow pace so as not to break their formations.
Standing in the middle of twenty men, Isaac put all his strength in his ankles and targeted one of the weakest who relied on the numerical superiority that constituted a significant imbalance.
His body vanished in front of 80% of his attackers because of his worrying speed [40].
In the same sec, his black blade sinks into the throat of his first target.
With wide eyes, the visual field of the skinny man gradually blurs before he collapses softly on the ground, a death half caused by choking his blood.
Seeing Isaac's silhouette appear suddenly in front of them, those, who were closer to his first target panicked.
But regardless of their panic, they ignore their teammates and their fears with them, jumping toward Isaac like hungry tigers.
For his part, Isaac tears the tip of his blade from the throat of his target and his sharp predatory eyes looked at others with icy sobriety.
'Sword art's movements, Third movements...
As soon as he began to whisper these words, his world became greyish. His brain and physical faculties have been boosted to a significant level.
This allowed him to see the others as if they were affected by a slowdown in temporal power.
Simultaneously, he felt all the red glow and his murderous intention channeled into the blade of his sword.
It wasn't only an impression; even in appearance, the blade of his sword absorbed his aura, soaking it with a reddish glow.
'...Shadow steps!' At that moment, his senses were so sharp that he could hear and see every wingbeat of the butterfly above him; The flow of surrounding air him, going up to his heart rate!
His speed, already fast, burst up because of the third sword art movement he just used.
Kevin's face shaded with disbelief when he saw Isaac's boost.
Unable to endure so much loss among his little squad, Kevin bends his knees and sprints towards Isaac with his impressive swiftness.
At that moment, Isaac, enjoying his carnage, had a chill as soon as he targeted his fifteenth prey.
Although he didn't know where this thrill came from, he still followed his instincts using the first movement (dodge).
-BANG!!!
As soon as he appeared out of the crowd, Kevin's fatty sword created a small crater where Isaac stood.
The last target he wanted to finish off died instantly, split up in two because of Kevin's attack.
'Tsk, this fucker finally decided to.' Isaac's face wrinkled when he saw Kevin's current look.
'I was wondering how he intended to handle such a large sword that is almost his size and weighs at least five kilos, but mysteries are over now.' He continues by stepping back.
'System, how many points of magic and stamina do I have left?'
[MP: 500/1000 - STA: 78]
His eyebrows contract at the sight of this worrying information. 'Ih, let's forget the sword arts; they are too voracious in magical energy and stamina. I must also think about finding a solution to the problem I put on hold.' he exalts a hot breath of air while quickly changing his strategy. He then took off his white dagger from his inventory after putting away his sword in its sheath.
To prevent his sword from hindering his movements, he sends it to his inventory and occupies his other hand with a newbie's black dagger.
His predatory eyes scrutinize Kevin who was now 250cm~, with a smile going from ear to over.
Kevin also shows a sneaky smile, tearing the blade of his sword off the ground with one hand and without the slightest effort.
"A change my mind, dude," Kevin said with a gloomy smile on his lips.
Isaac frown, but not interested in his words.
"I wouldn't sell you, Mai's would use you myself as a slave." He continues while nodding his head towards his men.
His remaining henchmen moved away from him and Isaac, forming a ring circle around them.
"So, distract me as much as you can before I...-
He stops when he saw Isaac sighing.
The latter juggles his white and black daggers in his hands like a seasoned assassin and places both arms in a cross in front of his face.
"For God's sake, stop saying bullshits and bring your ass!" Isaac mumbles with an annoying voice.
"…"
Taking advantage of this moment of respite,
He then looks at a blonde mage, with a wasp body, who attacked Jane with Wind's arrows at a regular rate. 'I wonder if I should capture one of the sluts who are with this ancient Titan legacy holder (Kevin).'
-BANG!
But in the same second, Jane's ball made a hole in the girl's head.
Stunned by this, Isaac gulps up his saliva, unable to guess how strong Jane had become. '...What a mess!' He shake his head while briefly looking at Jane whose agility was unparalleled.
But she always kept a fairly reasonable distance between herself and others to better predict and avoid the rains of attacks.
'Finally, I have to hurry before she kills every one. Otherwise, I should put the...!
His heart jumps a beat when he felt Kevin's body shade him.
Being caught off guard by Kevin's incredulous speed, Isaac jumps back before Kevin's sword creates another crater in the exact place where he stood in the same second.
'This bastard is almost as fast as me!' Mumbling these words in his mind. To prevent any mistake, he made the firm decision to end with Kevin as quickly as possible.
'System, put all my remaining stats points in Agility.'
[AGI: 40 -> 50]
His heart cools when he sees this information.
'I had 8SP Before the start of the battle, so it means that I went up two levels by only killing 50% of the bastards who attacked me. As I expected, players earn more points than monsters; it suits me.' Without realizing it, his mind began to imagine himself in the game, unable to realize that he had killed half of the players for real ones; because of their insufficient impact points.
Every frantic beat of his heart resounded in his brain as he felt a wave of mysterious energy invade his body and give him the impression of being as light as a bird's feather.
'Heh, I think I'm going to become addicted to this feeling.' His silhouette then immediately vanished in front of Kevin!

Each player with enough IP (impact points) for his/her resurrection, will see his body disappear after his/her death; unlike the others who will remain in their pool of blood.
