(Flashback)

Noland glared at Sam " STRONG! I WILL GIVE YOU THAT!! BUT IF YOU THINK YOU ALL CAN GET OUT OF THIS PLACE ALIVE, THEN THINK TWICE!!!"

Then he looked at Liam and others and spoke coldly, "No need to hold it back. Show these bitches who are they messing with?"

And the moment they heard their boss, all of their gazes turned cold.

Especially Noah, who just like Nolan, started transforming.

But instead of turning into a leopard.

He looked more like a dog.

9 feet tall dog.

And then it happened.

Nolan and Noah ran towards Sam.

Liam and Oliver targeted Matt.

Emma and Ava targeted Jade and Lucy.

"Calm down, Sam, and stop wasting your stamina," Matt whispered as he held onto Sam from behind.

Since the game started, one thing made their life most miserable, and that was stamina.

Stamina was needed for everything.

From walking to running, fighting to looting, everything.

Even though they got SSS Grade techniques, but what were they good for? If they lose the stamina by using the technique within 5 minutes.

And once you lost the stamina, then you are dead.

Even moving an inch becomes impossible.

This was truth and it plagued all of them like hell.

But the situation improved when on the third day of the game, new techniques started falling.

[Basic Blade Technique]

Grade: D

Possessing the most basic moves for the blade. Thrust, stab, and cut.

Thrust: Thrust the weapon with incredible speed. For both defense and attack.

Stabbing: Stab the enemy from all sides.

Cut: Slice everything apart.

All types of Basic techniques started falling.

From blade to sword, guns to bows, hammers to sabers.

Although their grade was D, they helped far more than SSS grade techniques did.

They used the least amount of stamina and magic power and could be used continuously for hours.

With the help of this technique, every one of them started killing normal awakens quickly, saving a large amount of stamina and whenever they got circled or crowded, they used the SSS Grade technique to get out of the predicament.

And even knowing all of this, Sam was wasting his stamina.

Not to say, they were in open.

And he could hear Awakens growling. This means, in no time, they will be circled.

And if by any chance ‘Elite Grade’ awaken came. Then, he doesn’t know what the outcome will be.

On the other hand, Sam just gritted his teeth as he looked at the four……

“Wait. Where is the fourth one?” Sam whispered back as he looked everywhere.

Matt was startled as he also looked at the enemies and found one missing.

But before Matt could reply, the other three attacked.

Out of nowhere, 100 wind blades came rushing towards them.

Matt hurriedly slashed his blade, and from the pointy-sharp front of his blade, a red windy gale came out.

His attack was silent.

But the small faces the wind carried were so disgustingly evil that it made chill crawl down everyone's spine who saw such an attack.

And then it happened, faces and the wind blades collided as with a loud boom everything within 75*75 yards shattered.

But before Sam and Matt could heave a sigh of relief, a black and yellow beast hand came out of the smoke, ready to tear apart everything.

Noland, who saw wind blades and the faces collided, knew instantly that the attacks will be nullified.

And didn’t waste such a good chance and leaped with full ferocity and almost succeeded when again the small boy disappeared carrying the big guy along with him.

But he just smirked.

Matt blinked and came out with Sam behind Liam and Nolan, but then, suddenly he felt an ominous feeling.

It was so dreadful that he could feel all the hairs on his body in horror as he hurriedly grabbed Sam and fall down.

A bullet passed by the moment Matt and Sam fall.

Matt could nearly feel the bullet passing by his ear.

If by any chance, he didn't sense the bullet, then Sam and him, both would've died.

Prediction: Predict the upcoming attack or danger somewhat. Cooldown: None.

Prediction saved him. The danger he felt, the moment he and Sam came out of the void was so forbidding that he knew, he needed to bent down along with Sam. Otherwise, today both of them would die.

And he was right.

Matt could feel his body shaken in terror.

At the start, Sam didn't understand why Matt grabbed him and fall down when the other two were right in front of them.

But the moment he heard, shoooooooo and something passing by him, his whole body shivered.

Sniper.

Someone was sniping them.

Even though they had powers now, that doesn't mean they were invincible.

One bullet and they will be dead. If not, then they will be injured badly.

Within 10 seconds, Matt and he died nearly 3 times.

They needed to start their offense. Otherwise, the outcome would be disastrous.

"Matt, look for the sniper. I will deal with the others, hurry." Sam spoke as he with an amazing speed stood up, and ran towards Noah and others.

Matt didn’t say anything as he looked towards the direction from where the bullet came.

And without any difficulty, he found the sniper.

Oliver looked back at the kid.

From start to end, his eyes never left the kid.

That kid was the pillar of the group.

Though surprised, he didn’t mind.

One bullet will be all it takes for the kid to die.

And the moment he got the chance, he fired, but again, surprise surprise, the kid fell.

Mistake.

Or.

Intentional.

He didn't know, but when his eyes met the kid, he shivered.

Not in fear but in excitement.

Who will die?

Him?

Or the kid?

Then, he saw the kid slashing his blade.

He was confused. What the hell is wrong with the kid? Why the hell did the kid slash the blade after looking at his eyes, when he was so far.

But answer came to him early as he felt his vision darkening.

And then the silence descended.
