Chapter 127: 126 is just child’s play (Seven updates please subscribe! Asking for monthly tickets!) Without a doubt, Beren had kicked an iron plate. The magic he had diligently practiced was completely ineffective against Shane. Close combat was even less of a match for Shane, who possessed a variety of Level-up Skills. As a result, even though Beren was much higher in level than Shane, he was like a defenseless child, constantly retreating under Shane’s fierce onslaught, suffering repeated serious injuries. If not for that Magic Potion, Beren would have been killed countless times. This left Beren both shocked and enraged, while fear steadily surged in his heart. There was no way around it; Shane was just too ruthless. ... “Can it grow back if I chop off a hand?” “Can it grow back if I chop off a foot? Then I can chop other places too, right?” “Come on, where would you like me to chop next?” “The head?” “The chest?” “The heart?” “The back?” “Not choosing? If you don’t choose, shall I choose for you?” “Good, I’ve decided, I’ll chop everywhere once.” Saying so, Shane began the inhumane slaughter, just like he had declared, chopping Beren all over his body. And facing Shane’s Slashing with the Magical Sword, Beren simply could not resist. Defense Magic? That kind of thing, in front of Shane’s Level-up Magical Sword, was like paper-mache, easily cut through in an instant. In other words, Beren tried to attack, but his attacks were all ineffective; he tried to defend, but his defenses were all broken through, and in the end, he couldn’t even escape. After all, Beren’s real forte was magic. Although his close combat ability was also remarkable, it was no match for Shane with his series of Level-up Skills. Eventually, even the power disparity due to his higher level was considerably reduced by Shane’s Extreme Transformation. In front of Shane, Beren had no advantage at all and could only be passively beaten. It must be said that the Extreme Transformation Skill was truly powerful, directly affecting life, allowing for an all-around increase in ability, and significantly closing the level gap between Shane and higher-level opponents, providing Shane with an enormous increase. Shane even believed that Extreme Transformation was more advanced than Magical Sword, Military God, or Magic Guide — skills that only the God and Demon Clans could learn. If nothing went wrong, this was probably another cheat-like Skill. Especially since the boost from this Skill depended on the amount of Magic Power. For Shane, who had an overabundance of Magic Power with nowhere to channel it, it was like a tailor-made ace Skill. Now Shane was increasingly appreciating the benefits of this Skill and wholeheartedly believed there were many more wonderful uses of the Skill that he was unaware of. Under such circumstances, being a part of the Old Demon Clan and leaning towards the Mage type themselves, with his magic completely ineffective against Shane, it was naturally difficult for Beren to turn the tables. It didn’t take long before Shane had chopped Beren countless times, severing who knows how many parts of his body, causing Beren endless pain. How could Beren not feel fear? Though the wounds could heal, the pain would remain. Furthermore, the effect of the Magic Potion was not permanent. As time passed, it gradually lost its effectiveness, slowing the recovery of Beren’s wounds and depleting his Magic Power. Beren was outraged but helpless. Only at this moment did Beren realize why Killian had been tortured so severely, nearly collapsing and being turned against his will. It wasn’t that Killian’s will wasn’t strong, but because the man in front of him wasn’t human at all, more brutal than themselves from the Old Demon Clan, and he knew exactly how to cause the greatest pain to his opponents. It was terrifying. Of course, if Shane knew what Beren was thinking, he would certainly tell him. “Since ancient times, netizens have been full of genius; just get on the internet, surf around, and ask a question like ‘How can you make an antagonist suffer a life worse than death?’ and I guarantee that your head will be crammed full of methods that will make someone wish for death.” At least, Shane felt that he was practically nothing compared to those talented individuals online. Beren certainly couldn’t know any of these tactics, otherwise, he would absolutely regret why he had come to this damned place. As a result, those who witnessed this battle, watching Beren being constantly cut, chopped, dismembered, and tortured by Shane’s hands, were filled with fear one by one, looking at Shane as if they were staring at a devil. “Now I thoroughly understand why those little runts in the Guild were treated until they didn’t dare to whimper any extra peep...” Alis, therefore, decided that even if it meant offending the nobles, one must never offend someone from the Ghost Race. Beren was also staring intently at this scene, taking a deep breath. Up to this point, Beren also clearly understood. “What Magic Tools?” Shane wasn’t using Magic Tools to subdue Killian; the Magic Tools in everyone’s hands were not works from that person. All this was nothing but a self-directed play performed by Shane. “No wonder the use of these Magic Tools is so erratic, and they can only be used successfully when by his side.” Beren’s face showed a mix of emotions and he also realized that trying to compete with Shane for recognition was probably a foolish move. With Shane’s strength, the Kingdom would surely take notice within minutes, lavishly rewarding him. The Kingdom would definitely not let such talent slip away over some stinginess with rewards, and in the end would surely give Shane the recognition he deserved. A rank-based reward system? That only applies to commoners. If the discoverer of the ruins isn’t a commoner, but a researcher with the ability to make significant contributions to the nation, then the regular ranks probably don’t even have the privilege to consider rewarding such a person, do they? This means that the calculations Beren and others had made were wrong from the beginning. Leon and Udilis seemed to realize this as well, their faces displaying unwillingness and helplessness. Even knowing that they had been thoroughly played by Shane, what could they do? Absolutely nothing. At most, they could only pose a question. And that is... “Why is he so strong?” Leon asked in a low voice, “Isn’t he a newcomer? Didn’t the Magic Tester indicate his Level was 10? And that he didn’t have a single Skill?” “What exactly is going on?” Udilis also looked towards Vivian, asking as if demanding, “Did you hide something?” Upon hearing this, Vivian did not respond. Because she knew that since Shane chose to reveal his strength, he must have his reasons. Thus, Vivian said nothing, maintaining her silence. However... “I was somewhat concerned that Shane might reveal his identity, but since he possesses such Level of strength without revealing his identity, perhaps...” Vivian probably had some thoughts. But that decision will have to wait for a discussion with Shane. For now, she only needed to watch over him and help him find his footing in this world. As Vivian was thinking this, up ahead, the battle began to come to an end.
