Chapter 932: The Lady with the Fiery Hair (2/2)

Upon feeling something, she thought of summoning a certain object in her, frowning, slowly muttering, ”Come out! Open! Arise! Reveal! Tablet!”

After a couple of minutes of futile effort, she sighed, massaging her forehead when the dot on her glabella activated, materializing into the tablet that fell on her, suffocating her. When she tried to move it, her fingers touched it twice during the struggle, making it retreat to her glabella.

After experimenting with it for some time, she figured out the gist of it, now looking at the row of words displayed on it. ”Killed one Staunch Predator: 1 Godly Point obtained.”

She then read the second line, frowning as she muttered in curiosity, ”Obtained Passive: Staunch Bloodlust?”

”Well, that's weirdly convenient.” She looked at the ocean above her, noticing a couple of fishes swimming within shudder upon meeting her gaze.

After some time passed in such a fashion, she sighed with a forlorn expression. ”We shouldn't have separated at the start. This God Realm is a lot different from what we have been told.”

…

”Shit…shit…shit!” Krune continued to sprint at his maximum speed, exhibiting maneuvers one would see used in parkour as he skittled from one place to another, swerving through numerous bone trees and other boulders that acted as obstacles. Only after he ran for a distance of 400 meters and was exhausted did Krune stop, hiding behind a boulder as he rested, recalling the scene he had witnessed.

The mutating bone tree had grown to a height of 10 meters, turning into a massive bone tree. And while growing, it had eaten up the other bone trees surrounding it. With every bone tree it ate, it produced a special fruit on its stem. But unlike others, this fruit was half the size of a person. Moreover, a single glance was enough to see that it was humanoid in shape, as if the fruit was conceiving a life within it, one that was humanoid.

Though, just this alone wouldn't have made Krune run away like that. Rather, the cause was positioned 200 meters further away. It was a group of Monster Geckos, numbering almost a couple hundred.

And, leading them was a Monster Gecko that was twice the size of others, hulking the group. Spanning a height of 4 meters, it possessed ripped muscles that screamed with power. Resting on its shoulders was a massive fishing rod, possessing the same circumference as Krune's leg.

Attached to its thicker thread was a hook shaped like a dagger. It was almost 20 centimeters in length. Just its appearance alone was enough to prove that it was a mutant among them.

Though, it didn't seem to be the leader of the group, rather acting subservient, despite displaying its dominance from time to time. After all, positioned further away from it was another Monster Gecko that was similar to it.

And finally, seated at the back of the group, on a throne made from bones of vicious sea fishes, was a gigantic creature, spanning a height of 5 meters. Its throne was carried by the joint effort of 20 Monster Geckos that squeaked from time to time under the weight whenever the gigantic Monster Gecko shifted its body.

Monster Gecko King!

Just the sheer presence it exuded was enough for Krune to determine its identity. Moreover, when he scouted them using his Sonic Radar, even though the others were flustered, unable to zone in towards the source due to the echoes, the two mutants and the Monster Gecko King simultaneously turned their heads, facing Krune.

That was why he bolted from the place immediately, sprinting at his maximum speed. Moreover, to prevent them from approaching the area his cave was located, he ran off in a different direction.

It seemed the Monster Geckos had a priority to destroy the mutated bone tree or something along the lines. After all, when running, he was making sounds to keep track of his surroundings, and all along, he didn't find any Monster Gecko chasing after him.

Upon seeing that his surroundings were safe, he gasped for air, drinking the water he had prepared. After he had calmed down, he shuddered at the thought of having to face the three for Godly Points. After a moment, he sighed, chuckling helplessly as he muttered, ”It won't be easy defeating something that powerful.”

Once he gathered his bearings, Krune intended to head somewhere else when he noticed something approaching him rather quickly. Immediately, he realized that the opponent had managed to locate his position.

Considering its speed of approach and its sheer size registered in his Sonic Radar, Krune knew that the Monster Gecko King had dispatched one of the two Mutant Monster Geckos to track him immediately.

”Damn it.” Krune rolled on the ground as something sharp landed on the rock he was hiding behind, cracking it. Now, he had no other choice but to face the mutant Monster Gecko.
