Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Drubal's first strike was dodged by a miserable roll from Sheyan, but his next strike successfully left a deep wound on Sheyan's thigh.

Before Drubal attempted his third strike, Sheyan halted unexpectedly. This wasn't because he was too exhausted, but there was nowhere to retreat due to the incredibly steep cliff ahead!

"You have 10 seconds to consider my suggestion." Drubal slowed down as his gloomy voice echoed through the valley. This was followed by clutching his mouth as he squeezed out a voice amidst the coughing.

"A sitting duck waiting to be captured, but I won't kill you. Display all your possessions, and you can scram after I select three pieces. If you dare resist, your blood and flesh, mince by mince, will coat my blade. Now, tell me your decision."

Sheyan panted wretchedly. His thigh wound was severe and revealed his eerie white bone. He couldn't even stand straight as he miserably leaned to the side.

Yet Sheyan stared into Drubal's eyes with a fiery passion. Such a glare caused Drubal to feel uneasy, as though all his defences were being brutally torn apart. All secrets were laid bare before this man!

"You're but an arrow at the end of its flight! A despairing loser. If you truly have such confidence, come finish me off? Why bother with such superfluous words?"

Sheyan glared at Drubal and continued word by word.

"Only one possibility – to kill me, you must pay a price! An immense price!"

Drubal's expression appeared fuzzy in his aquaform state. However, Sheyan could observe a layer of azure blue ripple fluctuating from his body, as though Drubal's emotions were chaotic.

Sheyan then declared.

"Sustaining your aquaform will sure require loads of MP. Employing water to conjure up limbs and indestructible weapons will similarly exhaust MP. For you to chase me till now, although you vitality remains well in the green, your MP is surely drying up!"

"Continue to fight on and I bet you will soon be utilizing a precious MP replenishment item. Perhaps an honorary level medicine. Sadly, you plan to backstab the Nazgul and make the elite elves your rivals. Yet with your plans going awry, who knows if something unexpected were to occur again and you employed an honorary medicine here, you would be forsaking an additional lifeline! That is the reason for your suggestion, aren't I right?"

Drubal shut his eyes as the radiance of consuming an honorary medicine shone from his body. He then callously answered.

"A pity. You've personally ruined your only chance at surviving. To let such an intelligent contestant mature is to make a terrifying foe for the future. Therefore, die."

"Oh really?" Sheyan smirked. "Can you really block me if I wish to leave?"

Sheyan then produced the object he acquired in the Avatar World, the 'Unmodeled Amniotank'. He chuckled blatantly.

"After all, I'm still a contestant. A tiny loss won't amount to much. To be able to drag you here and waste your honorary medicine, I am already satisfied. Goodbye, moron!"

"Sorry but forget about going anywhere!" Drubal roared. "Can a basic contestant like you fathom the terror of a peak Awakener? Come out, 'Misty Jailhouse!"

Instantly, countless transparent liquid strands jetted out from Drubal's side. These fine strands intertwined together and evaporated into a dense mass of mist that encompassed an expansive space around Sheyan and Drubal.

Following that, Sheyan immediately received a notification.

[ Sealed by opponent's high rank halo ability – Misty Jailhouse ]

[ Within the 'Misty Jailhouse', all abilities have a 15% chance of failing. Attacks dealt to opponents will have a 25% of missing. These effects are perfectly stackable with other similar effects ]

[ The mist has perfectly obstructed your tracking coordination from the realm. Within the 'Misty Jailhouse', various realm returning items will be rendered ineffective ]

[ Within the 'Misty Jailhouse', all lifeforms will receive additional HP regeneration speed ]

[ Any attempt to leave the 'Misty Jailhouse' will bear consequences. The glutinous water elements will bind your limbs, causing your movement speed to decline by 80%. Unless you can deal 20,000 damage to break through this jailhouse ]

After Drubal executed this ability, Sheyan discovered the water element covering his body thinning out. If one deemed Drubal's weight to be 180 kg previously, then it should be just 150 kg right now.

Drubal glared at Sheyan and issued one by word.

"Now, can you still run?"

Sheyan scoffed in response.

"I casually displayed an item to scare you, and you reacted with such an excessive move. Didn't that drain more MP? Although your MP had been replenished fully with the honorary medicine, how long can you sustain it? Three minutes? Four?"

Drubal roared fanatically and smashed a fist into the ground.

"Even an entire minute will be too long to finish you!"

Drubal's roar echoed into Sheyan's ears.

Shuala! Sheyan suddenly felt an immense terror flooding in, as a glacici spear drilled out from the ground and stabbed in maliciously! The speed of this liquified hand far exceeded Sheyan's agility. Although Sheyan attempted to dodge, his back tasted sad blood once again.

"I will honor my words." Drubal gritted his teeth and proclaimed. "Your blood and flesh, mince by mince, will coat my blade!"

Sheyan suffered another stab where his HP plunged to the periphery of crisis. Just another stab and he would fall into near-death state!

Falling into near-death state in a solo fight, even if he had 'Life-link', it would just delay his death for a few minutes.

At this moment, Sheyan sighed. His sigh was not without regret but it carried a strange aura. It was as though he finally received liberation.

"Mister Drubal. I originally planned to sacrifice an elven wizard on my side, letting him detonator only once you guys reach the bottom of the cliff. Yet I did not do so, do you know why?"

Drubal was already accumulating strength to unleash his next strike. He ignored Sheyan, but Sheyan continued.

"The first reason is my fear that the elven wizard will fail to grasp the correct timing. If you succeed in escaping, then you wouldn't pursue me with all your strength and lessen the pressure for my comrade."

"Yet another important reason, is I wish to understand the dreadfulness of a party; one who dare to arrange such a daring and massive scheme."

"Of course, the main reason was that I accidentally killed your vice party leader, that backpack male. The reward I acquired from his death, allowed me another choice. A new ace, an unthinkable one!"

Drubal sneered and mocked.

"Still boasting when you're about to perish?"

Sheyan ignored him and continued.

"On hindsight, for a basic realm contestant to challenge an Awakener is truly forcing it."

"Therefore." Sheyan lifted his head and stared into Drubal's eyes. In his eyes, Drubal was akin to a bewildered prey that had fallen into his trap!

"Mister Drubal, you ought to feel honored, for you are the first prey to witness my breakthrough to a Reserve-duty Growth-Hunter!"

"A powerful, fertile, and sumptuous prey!"

While declaring, Sheyan frenziedly poured his free attribute points into physique. This pure physique attribute which had been left untouched for a long while suddenly soared frantically, all the way till the 50 points boundary!!!

Presently, the impression Sheyan released was akin to a millenium old wild dragon that laid dormant in a prison. In a flash, the chains were shattered. A howling roar erupted into the skies, the seas and the cosmos.

If not for today's affair, Sheyan will probably continue accumulating free attribute points, and ambitiously raise two attributes to the pure 50 points boundary. However, after experiencing the recent worlds, he felt that dream was too unrealistic.

Hence, he changed his mind. With the despairing impasse, Sheyan ultimately laid down his own aspirations and charged to the boundary!

In that instant when he touched the pure 50 points attribute boundary, Sheyan immediately felt as though time stopped flowing. His surroundings turned fuzzy like he was in a maelstrom. A dazzling brilliance emerged from his nightmare imprint on the chest followed by a list of notifications.

[ Congratulations! Your basic attribute, Physique, has broken through the pure 50 points boundary!!! ]
