31: Morphed Core
"Kid… why do you have to shove your nose where it doesn't belong? Are you crazy!""You wake up and the first thing you do is scold me?" Creed retaliated,"Besides, How couldn't I have known if this boulder is some kind of freak of nature?"~sighAtlas replied, "You know, If I hadn't pulled your hand away at the last second, you would have been brain dead by now. Just stay away from that thing, you idiot. If you touch it one more time, even I wouldn't be able to save you.""What are you talking about? Are you saying this freaking boulder can kill me if I touch it again? Can you even hear yourself?""Kid, your arrogance is preposterous, isn't it? You think you are so tough that you can handle the residual killing intent of a god slayer?""Eh! Wait… what? hold on! " Creed jerked his head back, "What slayer?""Ah jeez… you seriously have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?""No! I really don't…""To dumb it down for you…the boulder is bundled with a surplus killing intent! This threat

32: Through the Sky
"Crap!" The saliva in Creed's mouth dried up from a mere glance, "Ghouls! So many of them!"The entire valley was packed with thousands of wandering ghouls, with no sense of purpose or direction. If someone would take a closer look, they would seem most of them either sleeping, fighting, stomping, copulating, killing and even eating one another. "Yeah.. "Agenor uttered, "Over 10 thousand, I believe!""Damn!" Colt shivered at the heinous sight, "So this is what hell looks like…""So let's say we jump into the middle of the party… any chance of survival?""None...""How are we supposed to cross the valley?" Falco gritted his teeth. "Anyone got any bright ideas?""Should we push through from one corner?" Nakiya replied,"No! Terrible idea… those monsters are fast runners!" Maira shook her head, "If they catch any of us—which they will definitely do—there is no hope!""So let's make sure they don't… "Falco replied, "How about we create a distraction again? So that we slip through them fr

33: Rough around the edge
"Alright kid!" Agenor nudged," You go next."Creed nodded and followed the same routine. Just like Maira, he hooked himself up to the wheeler and zipped across. While he was in the air, he saw Maira looking out for any ghouls nearby. Soon enough, he reached the other side with no trouble as well. Fortunately, there were not too many on this side of the valley, and sneaking past them was not as difficult.He immediately signaled others to join as well. Rain was the third one to join. Being already a lightweight she got across just fine. Nakiya joined after her and went to the corner.~tingNow with all the women and children on this side, only Colt, Falco, and Agenor were the remaining ones. Creed noticed that the next in line was Colt. He grabbed his own clutch and pushed himself towards this side. ~tingColt's keep gliding through the sky while being tormented by the sight from ground. The valley was filled with so many Ghouls; he had trouble holding back his imminent urge to puke

34: Unplanned Outcomes
Their pulse got wrecked when they saw how much blood Creed was losing while holding the cord. Yet, he was holding on to it as if his own life depended on it. He gritted his, clenched his muscles, bit his lips but he didn't let go of the cord.As soon as tension returned in the cord gravity automatically wheeled the Colt and Flaco towards this side of the cliff.Soon enough both reached this side and managed to bounce on the cliff's edge before they could crash into Creed's hanging body.Just as they two landed, they all rushed to grab a hold on him. Falco and Colt grabbed him by his shoulder and pulled him back. His arms were shivering uncontrollably and blood kept coming out of his fist. His left eyelid was also bleeding profusely. Creed laid on the ground with his chest thumping like a blow-horn. Both his arms and shoulders bruised and abused by the excess tension. He coughed as if his lungs would burst in a few seconds.After getting him back to the surface, Nakiya tried to open h

35: Incoherence
"Guess those legs aren't just for show…" Agenor jerked his numb arm to reset the blood flow.Though, It was just one ghoul surrounded by 7 of them, and yet they felt overwhelmed by its power. They didn't even want to imagine what kind of havoc those thousands of ghouls in the valley could wreck. The carnal killing aura and merciless appetite for flesh coming out of the beast violently rattled their senses. Nevertheless, Creed's senses were going berserk way more than anyone else. The situation wasn't ideal. He was painfully aware that this ghoul was not a dumb beast. The reason he attacked Creed first was because he must have smelled his blood and injuries. Everyone one in the team clutched their weapons. Agenor was a tank thus he was supposed to manhandle and nullify the beast's attack. He pulled himself together. His calves strained as he bolted towards the beast with unsettling velocity.Ghoul had no eyes, and yet Agenor's sudden movement rattled the creature's whip-like tongue.

36: Mystery behind the Sequence
Earlier their countermoves seemed forced and calculated but soon Colt and Rain grew more and more fluid and coordinated with wash passing second. An intoxicating unity was born out of the most chaotic patterns of melee.With each passing moment, they both kept closing the gap between each other, kiting the ghoul's movements despite his extremely chaotic tongue whips. Nevertheless, The most theatrical aspect of these movesets was that—for some reason—their blocks and random attacks were pushing the ghoul back. Their positions and slipperiness made the beast back off step by step into a corner. Almost as if he was being caged by some invisible force."Hey! Agenor… are you seeing this?""Yeah…" Agenor uttered, "I don't understand what is happening…but I feel as if I've seen something like this before…""Really? Where?""Oh wait!" Hearing Agenor's words Nakiya felt a spark inside her pool of memories. For some reason she too felt a familiarity from their moves and patterns."Is that reall

37: Treasure For Scraps
"Every possible A-rank technique that Genome Library had lost against this new technique in just the first few simulations. Obviously it freaked out the entire genome library administration. This incident immediately came into the light on the forums which made its popularity rise in just a couple hours of its launch.""You've gotta be kidding me?" Agenor scratched his chin trying to understand the gravity behind Colt's words. "If it got assigned such a high rank, that means it is better than every other A-rank technique that portal has in their system, right?""Yes!" Colt made a huge nod, "Now, here comes the freakiest part. The second reason behind the massive commotion is something that made people lose their shit.""This new technique was eligible for being put into an A-rank category and all the clans were ready to buy it for millions of genome credits, if not for billions. However, before that could happen, the technique's donor pulled the rug from under everyone's feet. When th

38: Dumb Down Replica
While they moved forward with muffled steps, Colt told them everything about the Chaos Sequence. He also told them that the combat technique was still available for purchase on the Genome Library Official portal.They all were moving as quietly as possible until Falco interrupted. "Hold on a second. There is one thing I still don't understand. How come Phantom's technique is so similar to this chaos sequence? Could this really be just a coincidence?""Good question. I haven't seen his fighting style but if what you're saying is true, then there might be a link between them!" Colt mumbled as turned towards Rain with a frown, "Well, I suppose, Rain would be the best person to answer this because she had seen both techniques, right?"They all turned to Rain as Colt's question made sense. They all knew that Rain had fought Phantom before and she had learnt the sequence as well. Hence she should be the first person to connect the dots between them.Rain saw everyone gazing at her and sigh

39: Thundering Echoes
All seven of them, finally burst out their chakras without holding. back. All of their eyes started to glimmer with various spectrums of shades simultaneously while all of their muscles began to bulge out. Not only that, around most of them, metallic armors wrapped around their bodies.~SHHRRIKKKEEEThey immediately heard a guttural voice of a horde who had sensed their presence by their rhythm. Agenor bolted his way across with narrow space while others followed. They heard the several footsteps rushing closer and there was no going back now."On your toes everyone! here they come!"Just as Agenor spewed the warning, they saw three Ghouls rushing toward them with bubbling saliva dripping from their tongues. One was bolting across the ground whereas the two beasts were crawling across both sides of walls on the canyon. Not to mention the several others were right behind them in a hasty queue.Just the mere sight of so many hungry Ghouls made nasty chills crawl up their spines. Regardl

40: Ghoul Fest
The Rha member kept attacking non-stop, the Ghoul organs kept flying around. All of their armors kept getting drenched and painted with blood of the starving ghouls. After constantly killing the Ghouls for several minutes, they all began to understand their attack patterns, which was most of the time driven from hunger. One of the major advantages this beast had was their numbers, however that advantage was now minimized because of the narrow space through the canyon. Just as Rha members were feeling restricted due to the cramped space, the ghouls also couldn't move around freely. Both parties had their movements restricted.The skirmish was extremely brutal and messy. Fortunately, they were able to push forward slowly and steadily. The Rha members seemed to be forcefully pushing their way through the horde by eliminating them.as fast as they could.In contrast to that, Colt and Rain became the most lethal duo in the entire team. Their attacks and movesets were getting sharper with
