The Adventurer System

Blag!

Natan was shaken after he received a massive blow from the guy wearing a red mask. His head was bounced back as it was whacked to the ground.

Yumiro had a snickered on his face, while seeing this guy was spitting blood out of his mouth.

None of Natan's party members could move to their position as they were petrified by the strength and aggressiveness given by Grim Draigh.

"No, how has this man become strong like this?"

"He already killed leader Natan in just quick massive blow. His legs were making an arc and you could easily notice how much power he put in that kind of attack."

These were the worlds that Natan's party members. But what they could do? If the opponent in front of them was creating a clone which gave them a hard time which one they were going to aim.

After a few were moments. Red particles popped out right in front of his eyes as Natan was sent back to the Adventurer Stadium. At the same time, he spotted the 12 magical stones that were lying on the surface.

In his mind, taking this Asarki's party would surely take the upper spot in the event's ranking. So without making any second thoughts, he walked towards it.

"There's no time since we didn't know how much left before this event ended." He muttered.

Then suddenly, he frowned his brows as the remaining adventurers were kneeling to the ground and begging to become their members, suggesting their power spikes would vastly increase.

"Please, sir masked guy, let us be part of your party!"

"I don't want to lose in this match. The only thing that I want is to pick by any decent kill, that's my only wish!"

Well, after hearing their words. Obviously, Grim wasn't in for their suggestion, on top of that, the Guild Captains and Gino were surely not allowing them. Moreover, joining the other party in critical moments was against the rules, it will become possible if you switch your team before the match started.

"Eh? You're not worthy to be a part of our team. Also, I can see that you have a chance to beat her." He pointed his index finger at the nonchalant woman was sitting under the tall tree. "Even she belongs to the cleric class, you don't have a chance to land any scratch at him at her."

Natan's party members were gritting their teeth, in their minds, the masked guy was looking down at them.

'Tsk! We saw her how to fight in the five versus five valor. But as Cleric we were surprised with her speed, but I don't think she can beat the fighter like me.'

Asarki was anxiously pointed her finger at her face. "M-Me? A-Are you out of your mind, Grim?! We don't have much time to waste on them." She stammered as she didn't expect Grim would suggest a perilous idea like this.

He barely nodded his head since Asarki has a point. However, he would like to see how she will utilize the Toxic Gul. "I thought you want to fight some adventurers, Asarki?" He sent his message through the system function so no one could hear their conversations.

'I want to fight other adventurers, Grim. But not in this type of situation as we need to secure our win in this game,' She explained. To be exact, Asarki differentiates the words NEEDED and NEEDS.

Grim deeply sighed as his eagerness to see how she fight vanished in just a blink of an eye. 'Okay then. But what needed to do these adventurers?'

'Don't mind them, we should keep moving and fight next opponent.' Asarki suggested, then pushed herself into a stood-up position. She patted her legs and but to remove some dirt blasted on her clothes.

He spun around as he lost his appetite to fight these remaining adventurers. But all of a sudden, he perceived a suspicious sound coming from behind as the man holding a sword would like to stab him from the back.

[Speed star dash!]

Swish!

The man had a malicious smile on his face as he thought he stabbed the man standing in front of him. Hence, after a few seconds, his expression was easily faded away since the masked guy vanished. To be simple, he just hit the clone and noticed the masked guy was spinning in the air.

[Dual spinning kick!]

Thud! Thud!

Two direct kicks laded on the man's neck and jaw, which made him fall to the ground and collapse.

Yet, Grim wasn't letting that man just receive this kind of attack as he was deserved the more brutal assault. His expression was easily changed into a devil one as this circumstance some memories four years ago flashed inside his head.

To be simple, Yumiro remembered how Drake brutally attack him and it reached the point that he almost died. Same as this situation, every time someone was doing something like this, he was having a hard time controlling the emotion that burst inside his chest.

"You!" He gritted his teeth, then took out a kariki knife. At the same time, a red-orange magic circle appeared next to his left hand as he didn't even care if he released so much power with his attack.

"Hey, Grim! What are you doing?! That man can't move, just let them we will waste our time with them." Asarki warned him while seeing a dark aura throughout his body.

The soul earing? No, it was only his emotions. Asarki could clearly see what was exactly happening to this man. In his mind, there must be a reason why Grim pushed into his limits.

Moreover, she didn't stop convincing him to fall back because if he continued to release that kind of magical power. Probably, he would be exhausted, and the main reason why they can lose from this game.

"Back off, Grim! There's no reason to fight them, we already get their stones." She looked above to see the stones ranking. "Grim, we are already in 8th place, it just needs a little push we will become the number one."

• 8 [ Asarki's party] stones collected 12]

However, Grim wasn't looked listening to her as he continued to walk and planned to use his knife to end this man's VR life.

Swoosh!

He jumped over him, so the man couldn't do anything to escape from his attack. "I'll let you peacefully escape, still, you scheme to attack me from behind."

The guy was sensing the tremendous fire released by the kariki knife and also the masked guy's body.

"F-For give me!"

The man begged, but it was too late Grim already decided to end his life in a brutal way.

Click!

Yumiro heard the sound of the clicking gun not too far away from him. So he slightly tilted his head. In just one looked, the man was terrified he didn't the reason but he couldn't reload his gun.

He raised his left hand, then stabbed the fighter's eyes without hesitation.

"Argh!" The man was groaning in pain while blood splashes out of his left eye.

Moreover, it was not enough to kill that man so Grim swung again his knife and stabbed the man's other eye.

Swish!

Splash!

Asarki was anxious, knowing she couldn't stop Grim from doing this cruel thing. "I need to stop him, but how? I must do something..."

The man was holding eyes in pain. In his mind, if this man won't let him join in his party he must die right away not this way. As the masked guy was letting him feel extreme pain little by little.

"Kill me right now, you monster!" He angrily shouted as he was still felt the blade whirling inside his eyes.

Yumiro didn't mind his words as he didn't spit some words our his mouth, but still, he planned to end him by stabbing this man in his neck.

He raised again his left hand, then stabbed the man directly on the center of his neck.

Swish!

With his strength and the amount of magical power he put in it, the kariki knife swiftly penetrated.

"Argh! Shit! What I'm feeling this kind of pain, please someone stop him! I'm begging!"

And all of a sudden, Grim held the knife with both his hands and slashed it downwards to split his into a half.

Splash! Splash! Splash!

Red blood was splashing on his face until... The man drained his health power and vanished from the forest.

Grim gradually stood up, narrowly looking at the remaining adventurers. It looked like, he wanted them to suffer from the pain.

"You next..."

The gunner couldn't back with his feet, so he tried to escape by using his hands. He was crawling, however, he couldn't make any meters as he was pressured in the terrifying aura released by this masked guy.

"Please, don't kill me I surrender."

But the only thing inside Grim's mind was to eliminate all the people who could not fight fairly.

As soon as he showed that he was coming from the gunner. A cold breeze touched on his face.

[Feather!]

Thud!

A mild punch landed, and it was enough to awaken him from the despair he was feeling right now.

"Grim! What are you doing?! Yuki is watching our fight, you didn't shame?!" Asarki angrily said.

Unexpectedly, tears welled up from his eyes, and even it was covered by the mask Asarki noticed.

Bam!

Asarki was blinking his eyes in surprise after Grim hugged him and laid his head on her shoulder.

"H-Hey...."
