[5/5]
Aren looked at the number on the screen, he completed it, and he was one of the first as well. His body ached from the fighting, but what ached the most was his heart.
He leaned his back against the wall and looked in front of him. He saw girls crying, some boys vomiting, the weight of all their actions took hold, the smell of blood filled the air, but what was done was done.
Some of the awakened already started leaving, heading for the crystal at the center. Aren had no choice but to get up and go as well, there was no point in regret. He tossed his sword away as it had gotten cracked from the battle, and only his wolf guard remained.
Walking down the street, everywhere was stained with blood, he along with some others that had gotten their five kills walked down the street, no one spoke, they all just walked.
But then, a few people suddenly showed up in front of them, all covered in blood, with eyes that burned with rage, ladies and guys alike.
"There are only ten minutes left," one growled. "I want to live!" He roared and then lunged forward with a mace in hand, the others followed behind. This is what it had come to, they had completely killed every person inside the town and now they had come to fight themselves.
Aren was weak right now, his hand that was cut by the wolf and the sword of the guard still ached in pain, and now these ones were attacking, that pissed him off so bad for some reason.
"System, assign all my free stats to Strength and Speed."
[Strength: 13]
[Speed: 11]
[Defense: 8]
[Constitution: 10]
[Intelligence: 15]
Immediately after the system did it, he dashed forward. "Arghhhhhhhh."
One of the attackers recognized him and instantly smiled, knowing that Aren was a weak nobody, he changed his direction to Aren.
"Die!" he bellowed with a sick smile, he was a warrior type, and his ability was strength, improved strength that could shatter a wall on impact.
Aren lifted his guard, the fist collided with it, his hand didn't receive any pain, but the force of the punch blasted his hand back. Aren gritted his teeth, he planted his foot forward and used it to push back as the boy swung with a second punch that missed by an inch.
Aren saw an opening and then planted his feet into the ground, pushing forward fast with a spear attack right into the boy, tackling him, both of them went to the ground, the boy hit hard, but that wasn't enough as he pushed Aren off his body.
Aren hit the ground, rolled and then got back on his feet, using his claws to brace himself. He lunged forward again, halfway there he slashed, using a powerful claw strike that instantly dug into the chest of the boy so deep that blood sprayed out.
The boy grimaced in pain, his face twisting, he tried to back away, but Aren was already close, he leaped into the air and landed a Superman punch right into the face, shattering the nose and jaw.
The boy crumbled to the ground hard, his entire world spinning. Aren looked at him with pity, and then turned away, running off to the crystal. There was no point in him killing anymore, he already had his five and that was enough for him.
Finally, he made it to the town square, the center of the town, and there at the center was a massive crystal floating over the ground. Bodies littered the floor there, showing the battle that had happened.
Around the crystal stood five figures, all guys, holding weapons and with expressions of people ready to fight. This confused Aren, why would they mount here? Was their plan to gather kills here and go inside?
But then he looked at the people at their feet, he could tell that they must have been the ones that killed them, he was certain that they had gathered five kills each.
"They are just doing it for fun," he muttered, sickened by what he saw. The guys saw him and instantly smiled, "Hahahaha, come on, come and enter will you?" one said in a mocking tone.
What they didn't expect was that Aren started walking toward them, but still, that couldn't take Aren down, except, the next moment, a few people that had gone to the manor also showed up, the silver-haired S tier, the A tier, and Elena, along with others.
When the boys around the crystal saw them, they immediately panicked, they all tried to touch the crystal, but suddenly a massive force slammed into them, sending them to the ground, it was like they were getting pulled down hard.
It was Elena, she looked at them with disgust written all over her face. "You are disgusting, turning people's lives into nothing more than a plaything, the rest of us fought for survival, and you fought for fun." As she spoke, she increased the power on her gravity attack, their bones started popping, they screamed like wild goats being killed, but she didn't relent, her eyes turned cold, until their bodies popped, turning into nothing but meat paste.
The scene shocked everyone, but unlike them, Aren was looking at her for a different reason. Her power, she took down five awakened like her in an instant and it didn't look like it was much of a hassle for her, she did it easily.
'Is this the power of an S tier? She is lucky for sure,' he said in his mind before walking forward, not even bothering himself with the fact that she killed them so easily.
He was the first to reach the crystal, and as he placed his hands on it, he vanished, headed to the second platform.
