"THUMP!"
A sound that was like an iron hammer hitting a piece of thin leather rung out and you could see there were drops of blood leaking out the corner of the giant man's mouth. And if you look closer there was also a slight bloody bruise on his chest.
In that moment, two ferocious men jumped forward and attacked Grant.
Grant saw them coming but he realized that he was stuck in a powerless situation. Although his attack wounded that giant man, he couldn't react fast enough cause his hand had gone numb from the attack
Seeing his friend almost getting killed, Hector felt powerless as he was being crazily attacked by the men whom he had wounded before. He was forced to retreat step by step, barely dodging their attack.
Only Lucia and the twin brothers seemed to be fine as they only had one opponent each.
Grant's eyes dimmed as he thought his death had arrived when a dark blade suddenly appeared. It twisted and turned twice in mid-air with fast blurry strikes and suddenly two heads fell on the floor as blood started pouring out from their neck. Then, their bodies fell back and hit the ground.
After his successful attack, Tyrion didn't stop at all. Using phantom Leg art, he stabbed another man in the chest which saved Hector from his predicament.
"Thanks!", gratefully said Grant who felt like he had escaped from hell's gate. His face still looked a little bit pale from before.
Tyrion nodded, "It can wait. Let's kill them all first."
Actually, after Iron Skull's death, the men's fate had already been decided, it was just a matter of time.
Shortly after, other than the man with the armor skin art, the rest were all dead; And on Tyrion's side, besides Grant and himself, the rest were all wounded more or less.
"Where do you think you are going?" Hector sensed that the giant man planned to escape, with a sharp sound, he threw out his two-meter spear.
"Swoosh!"
The giant, experienced man tilted his body and avoided the halberd by inches.
However, he couldn't run away from his fate even if he tried. Tyrion waved his blade smoothly when he was distracted and with one move, the armored skin defense gave way.
The blade slid easily into the chest of the giant man and back out leaving a giant bloody hole.
Hi guys! Hopefully, you guys liked our tsunami of releases yesterday! Sadly, my exams are out to start and we will not be able to sustain that amount of releases and we will be returning to our two chapters/day schedule.
...
The crisis was finally finished. Grant and the rest of the group let out a large sigh and finally relaxed from all the tension.
Slowly they began to pale as they were aghast when they realized Tyrion just killed a mutated super soldier and a peak-level genetic soldier trained in Armor skin all by himself.
They finally realized just how strong that man really was, even the people in the top 100 of the second-year rankings could not replicate such feats; even those who are in the top 50s probably could not do it, and even if they managed to do it, it would have been impossible to be completely uninjured after fighting such opposition.
But Tyrion, a first-year student, had just done all that.
"Thusel, I have never truly admired anyone before, but today, I admire you!" Grant said seriously.
Tyrion wordlessly smiled.
The random encounter with bandits had brought them an extra income of dead Evo beasts of about thirty thousand death points. Divided evenly, everyone received about five thousand death points which slightly compensated those life-threatening fights.
"Well, I guess this is where I part ways." With more than enough blood essence and death points, Tyrion didn't want to continue with adventuring with a large group and decided to go to the Thousand Death forest by himself.
Grant said: "Alright, we also plan to head to our hall. Take care of yourself."
They were all about to leave, Julia just could not help herself anymore and said: "Thusel! Remember to visit us!"
Tyrion nodded, "If I have time, I shall see."
Soon, the group disappeared from Tyrion's sight. Tyrion thought, I have only been adventuring for so long yet I had already gained 20,000 death points.
With this amount, I can afford to buy some things to further increase my strength.
Sadly I will have to pass on being able to buy those DUST serum stones for improving DUST in the body which cost about 100,000 death points each, I could not even afford half of the serum…
Despite all that, what surprised Tyrion the most was that it was his first time killing someone, but he actually did not feel much reaction to it… Maybe it has something to do with the previous owner or our fused soul power.
Shaking his head, Tyrion really could not figure it out.
The Thousand Death forest covered about a thousand miles in which lived countless evo beasts. As far as Tyrion knew, in the outer range of about a hundred miles, only rank 1 and early rank 2 beasts were found, the chance of encountering a rank 3 beast was really low. That relatively bigger poisonous saw-tooth tiger was actually not a true rank 3 monster, it could only be counted as a rank 2 evo beast that was half a step into rank 3. However, past the outer range, was the inner range of about 200 to 500 miles which was labeled as the danger zone, evo beasts rank 3 to rank 5 could appear any time, and with Tyrion's current power level, any one of those beasts could insta-kill him.
Beyond 500 miles was the forbidden zone. About ten years ago, a large group of super soldiers was sent to retrieve some rare valuable medicines. Unfortunately within the forbidden zone, they had encountered the rank 7 beast – Spectral Techno Bull, and among the hundreds of people that had been gathered, only one person had escaped and made it out, but sadly he too died a few days afterward. His death was because there was too much residue energy from the evo beast left in his body which caused him to go crazy which killed him eventually. After that incident, no one dared to even step foot in it.
Over the next ten miles, Tyrion killed three beasts, two rank 1 beasts and one early rank 2 beasts after taking a few blows. After gathering the valuable parts of the evo beasts, Tyrion stopped venturing deeper into the woods and started to walk parallel to the border of the danger zone so that he would not have to face any evo beasts of rank 2 and above Rank.
