Chris and the group were facing the same situation after they finished their last group of beasts the sun was already high in the sky and they heard growls of beasts coming far from the city.
They had to fight more groups of beasts and by now they were able to escape them although thank to that surge in the number of beasts they should have enough energy point.
" Guys do you have enough for level up, we should go back now you saw that the number of strong beasts is increasing "
He asked because he already got enough energy point to reach the level, even though he paid it by having his left arm broken and marks of bites all over his body and gashes with blood flowing, everyone was in the same state apart from the kids who we protected we let him kill some beasts when they were close to death.
But now Sarah was healing the serious wound it wasn't dangerous even if they were in a narrow alley that was near the roads that lead to different parts of the center of town.
By now it was exhausting to adapt to his speed, so we let him reach level 1 and let him put three stat points in dexterity and the two left in strength so that he should be ok to save his life in case we are unable to protect him in time.
" yeah we should have enough when we come back "
said Lisa, she had her head on her shield lying on the ground looking at the sky
" So your bronzing now "
Claire said to Lisa seeing how she was acting even if any beasts could appear at any moment
" What is strange with it the sun is beautiful and for now the beasts out there are fighting each other so I take a good nap "
She said but everyone knows it was just a facade she had her sword in her arms ready to kill any beasts coming at them, by how she turned her head looking outside the alley where we could see beasts fighting.
" Ok then we will go once Sarah will heal Chris left arm he wanted to go on a killing spree and got his arm broken this idiot "
Edward said looking at Chris who was being healed by Sarah and at the same time he admired the good view, but quickly withdraw his gaze when he saw Sarah turning her head toward him
' damn how much did she have in int to felt my gaze so easily '
After I was healed we started to go back to the mall but we met more and more beasts, we were healed and in a good state so we were able to quickly those beasts and continued to advance and we were now almost come back to the plaza near the mall.
but then I felt a cold breeze in my neck I turned my head to lock what gave me this feeling when I saw a huge head of a snake come out of one of the three roads, his body advancing slowly but I could tell that he was ready to attack us it was the same snake w met yesterday.
" guys be ready we got a guest "
I said trying to ease them before turning to face the snake not letting him a chance to attack making him turn his head toward me his verticals eyes looking at me like if I was just a slice of meat on his plate.
' you fucking beast do you think I am still the same as yesterday '
My body was burning and my bloodline feeling my tough started to strengthen me but I could feel my senses getting stronger while my focus on the surroundings was clear with a clear map of where each people in the group were I didn't attack directly waiting for the others to take their places.
And hearing me they all turned their body Edward, Lisa, and hector in front with me the other either behind or on our side to wait for a chance to attack.
The snake seeing that they didn't run stood his head making a hissed sound while turning his head looking at everyone.
" Lever four may be as strong as a level five "
By now I was the one giving information about a beast level so that they can be prepared.
The Snake didn't wait for them to attack and in a swift motion, he launched himself toward the group using his tail to propulse himself, but the others were ready for that and dispersed.
Sarah and Emily attacked his head but were only able to make him stop his next attack, and after that hector and Chris jumped at him trying to pierce his eyes but the snake was faster than them dodging their attack while attacking them with his tail at the same time.
' Fuck what the problem with this snake '
Chris thought while he and Hector were sent flying and bumped into the cars in the plaza.
They both were ok except that their body was like if they were stamped by an elephant making their already healed wound by Sarah to reopen.
This time Claire didn't hesitate to use her talent to shoot an energy sword toward the snake who despite his speed wasn't able to escape this attack making him fall to the ground just after this energy sword entered his brain but he didn't bleed, his mind was the one who took the blow.
Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
But he wasn't still dead his tail and head still moving slowly and seeing this chance, although everyone didn't understand how he survived her attack they all attacked him but his scales were so hard that they only made a small scratch and nothing else.
" Move let me try something john came in front of the group "
keeping his distance from the snake he could feel although he had his eyes closed once he got too close he will be attacked.
And hearing him the others stepped aside and kept an eye on the surrounding since the growls and screams were getting closer and they should be at the road that leads to the city center by now.
He came and using his new energy that felt heavier the more he put energy in it, he launched a huge blow on the head of the snake using his sword.
And finally, a crack appeared making the snake open his mouth and trying to bites the humans that just hurt him so much but his mind was still in a complete mess strange energy was trying to enter his brain but his bloodline protected him making him paralyzed while those humans do what they want with him.
John was about to continue his attack when Lisa stopped him.
Sarah was looking like everyone in the surrounding when her bloodline suddenly started to surge making her wanting to advance near the snake and insert her own energy inside the snake and at the same time her body was emanating violent energy that Chris felt but seeing that she looked at him and smiled he calmed down.
" John stop let me try something "
She says to him but her voice was filled with a bossy tone that makes him frown but seeing Chris telling him to back, for now, he retreated.
And after that, she came next to the snake placed her hand on him pouring her violent energy filled with the intention to subdue the snake just like her bloodline told her or guided her.
The serpent feeling new energy entering his head used his bloodline to fight back but he was already exhausted with Claire energy still not neutralized and now this energy, but before his bloodline could do something he felt this new energy felt with the intent of a bloodline like his own making his bloodline let down its guard.
And Lisa's energy entered the snake's brain letting a faint part of her energy mixed with her bloodline intent to subdue him, in his brain melt with the snake's energy without hurting him.
And the snake still weak from claire and john's attack couldn't resist before she retracted her hand.
Congratulations to gaining a contracted beast ( The bound between both of the parties can be strengthened)
New path gained: beast tamer
She was happy because her New path was the same that her bloodline so it should really help her to better comprehend her bloodline or at least its capacities.
" Babe are you ok "
she heard Chris's voice calling her making her woke up from her states.
" yeah I am fine "
she said before explaining to the other what she just did, making the other completely dumbstruck first claire with her cheat talent and now Lisa taming abilities from her bloodline but they didn't say anything they were envious but compared to some dead bodies with only bones they saw in the streets when fighting they were already lucky to go so far.
The snake stood his head after two minutes and claire who now had stronger energy didn't fall unconscious after using her energy but she still used more than half of her energy and they started to go back to the mall the snake staying in front of the destroyed entrance.
Lisa told us that she could be warned by their link if something happens to him, everyone was a little strange to have a three-meter-long snake of the size of a truck next to them but still entered the mall wanting to rest.
The snake looked at Lisa for a little longer before circling on himself before closing his eye.
Lisa was strange with this new connection it was like if she had another person talking with her in her mind, although it was only words the snake told her like " hurt, sleep, guard" but she could tell that he was learning how to talk by using her memory that to their link that they shared.
they went back to the underground parking but didn't saw clement group outside but two corpses of a dog and a beetle they were of one meter from the reminiscent energy around their body, after entering the underground they saw clement and two of the guys bleeding from their chest and arms huge scar that each of them by now saw it as a normal wound, Sarah went to heal them although we couldn't help them, healing shouldn't be too much for us.
We told them that it was getting more dangerous outside with new beats entering the city and plant growing faster, the underground had already some plant growing too but not too much compared to outside.
And we started to level up once again, our hard fruit paid since we were able to get enough energy point for all the group.
I looked at my status screen with my leader path that increased a little but not too much and still nothing new.
Name: Chris Specie: Human Talent: In process... Bloodline: Warlord - stage 1/10 [High]
Path: [ leader - 22% ]
Energy point: 3075 Level 3 - [ 0/3000]
I allocated them feeling my body energy increasing and my bloodline strengthening too and our connection getting stronger although my bloodline didn't upgrade, the energy in my body was used by my bloodline spreading slowly and mixing with my blood but with only a few blue-black points it had only an effect to make for me easier to use my energy since it naturally started to fuse with my bloodline.
My senses also get also stronger and I could feel my body being restructured after by the new energy so that I can absorb it easily instead to mix with my bloodline, bearing the pain from having my body adapt to the energy like a needle piercing my flesh digging enough so that my body became accustomed to it and after one or two minutes the pain subsided and I felt that now the energy which I needed to concentrate to guide it somewhere in my body was easier since part of my bodies had now energy in them.
And by just thinking about it, it will connect with the rest of the energy in my body, but the strange thing was that compared to the others my energy gets stronger but didn't go out like them to protect their body.
The energy of everyone getting stronger also and depending on how they use their energy it started to have a different feeling when close to them, Sarah energy had now this cold feeling around and the others like Philip, Eillen it was just the pressure from their energy but since we were at the same level it didn't affect us.
Unless they learned how to use them instinctively like us with bloodline it would take time since I, John Lisa, and Claire had differents energy surrounding us depending on our bloodline.
" Ok, guys we can't still rest we need to go outside and check the surroundings I don't want to be buried alive. "
This time we called Clement group to come with us, even if they will have to fight on their own but being not far from us they would be ok with Sarah and Emily being us.
