A Special Gate World.
Fang Xiu didn’t want to expose the full extent of his power.
That was why he hadn’t brought Kajimi along.
After all, with his own strength, Fang Xiu was confident he could protect himself even if he encountered a powerful Demon Beast.
Netherworld Thunder Fall was enough to kill most Demon Beasts of a higher Level than him.
After all, this was a Skill derived from a Magic Core.
It was countless times more powerful than an ordinary Skill from a Demon Core.
Besides, Fang Xiu also possessed a Forbidden Curse Skill: Star Punishment.
This was a Forbidden Curse. Even though Fang Xiu had never used this Skill before...
...how could the power of a Forbidden Curse possibly be weak?
He didn’t even need to test it to know.
It was just that unless it was an absolute last resort... he had no need to use a Forbidden Curse.
After all, whenever Kajimi was around, Fang Xiu never even got a chance to act.
But now, Fang Xiu had come to this Special Gate World alone to test his limits.
Perhaps he would have a chance to witness the glory of the Forbidden Curse, Star Punishment.
As for his final Skill, Sacrifice, Fang Xiu could also use it to save his life if he had no other options.
With so many Skills at his disposal, Fang Xiu truly didn’t believe he could die in this Special Gate World.
Right now, Fang Xiu was Level 15. He wasn’t afraid of facing an opponent twice his level at Level 30, or even stronger.
He just hadn’t expected to hear a loud crash the moment he entered the Gate World.
’What’s going on?’
For a moment, Fang Xiu even considered texting Kajimi to come in.
After all, she had Invisibility.
’I’ll go check it out first.’
Fang Xiu headed directly toward the source of the sound.
BAM!
Before long, another loud crash echoed out.
Fang Xiu frowned slightly.
’What on earth could be making such a loud noise?’
At that thought, Fang Xiu couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
Fortunately, the sound wasn’t coming from too far away.
After a quick walk, Fang Xiu arrived at a field of tall grass.
BAM!
Another deafening crash rang out.
Fang Xiu knew that whatever it was, it was just beyond the grass.
He approached cautiously.
Fang Xiu was starting to miss Kajimi already.
’If she were here, she could just fly up into the air and take a look.’
’What is that?’
Just then, Fang Xiu saw that it was a middle-aged man.
He was lying on the ground, spitting up blood.
The loud crashes Fang Xiu had just heard...
...were caused by this man being sent flying into a large tree, knocking it down completely.
Fang Xiu glanced over. The tree was so thick it would take at least three adults linking arms to circle it.
And yet, it had been snapped clean in two.
Facing the middle-aged man was a Level 40 Demon Beast, an Eight-Stone Brass Bull.
A Strength Type.
This meant the man before him was likely also a Level 40 Power Awakener.
However, even though they were both Level 40 and of the Power System, it was clear that a human was no match for a Demon Beast.
Running into this Demon Beast seemed to be a lot of trouble.
"Hmph!"
Just then, the middle-aged man stood up again, glaring at the Demon Beast.
He charged forward once more.
His speed wasn’t fast, but every footstep kicked up a cloud of dust and left a deep imprint on the ground.
"Ox-Like Strength!"
He had used a Skill.
However...
’Even if your strength is "like an ox," it’s useless in front of a real one, isn’t it?’
Fang Xiu thought to himself.
’What’s more, this is a Level 40 Strength Type Demon Beast, an Eight-Stone Brass Bull.’
’Trying to compete with a Strength Type Demon Beast in a contest of Power.’
’What kind of idiotic move is that?’
BAM!
Sure enough, just as the thought crossed Fang Xiu’s mind...
...the man was sent flying once again.
And he snapped another tree in half.
Again, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Fang Xiu looked at the five broken trees. It seemed the man had charged five times.
Most importantly, the Eight-Stone Brass Bull seemed to be toying with the man, deliberately knocking him into a tree with every blow.
"Damn it!"
The middle-aged man struggled to his feet once more.
He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
Fang Xiu could see that he was weakening.
But the man didn’t stop. He continued walking toward the Eight-Stone Brass Bull.
This time, he lacked his previous momentum.
His speed and Power also seemed to have diminished.
"Hey, are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Fang Xiu shouted at the middle-aged man.
The man stopped, turned to look at Fang Xiu, and frowned. "A kid? You need to get out of here. This Demon Beast is Level 40. I can’t beat it, and I can’t protect you!"
With that, he turned back to face the Eight-Stone Brass Bull.
"This is a Special Gate World. Don’t you know what it means that I was able to get in?"
Fang Xiu said.
His tone was relaxed.
’This guy... at a time like this, another Awakened finally shows up...’
’And instead of teaming up, he’s talking about protecting me?’
’He must have a screw loose.’
"It means you might have killed a Gate World’s Demon Beast. But you’re young. It just means you have good Talent. You can’t handle this Level 40 Demon Beast. Get going!"
This time, the middle-aged man spoke to Fang Xiu without turning his head.
"Heh, interesting!"
Fang Xiu smiled faintly.
’This guy is pretty interesting.’
’A Level 40 Demon Beast? Hmm, it certainly won’t be easy to deal with.’
’But I’m curious to see if my Skills can take this Demon Beast down.’
"This is a Level 40 Demon Beast, an Eight-Stone Brass Bull! A Strength Type!"
The middle-aged man warned, having heard Fang Xiu’s remark.
