New Game+ - Chapter 464: Before A Mere Man

The Covenant felt the pressure of Amir for the first time. They had already trained under several other Overcomers, but there was something more sinister with the wolf.

A terrifying cannibalistic fear suddenly filled everyone’s minds and hearts. It was as if they felt that they were just food in front of Amir.

The sensation became more and more terrifying as Amir was clearly drooling as he looked on Kristine.

“How delicious! You mean to say, that in you is the cure that can help my sons hyperactive cell? I can smell now that I’m here. Your scent! It’s even better than the scent of Cliff’s little girlfriend!” Amir grinned.

The Covenant were able to point their weapons at Amir. But this was more of an instinctive movements that they trained themselves to do in the face of certain death. But a strange conflict occurred. Their own instincts warned them not to pull the trigger and fight him.

Dara was extremely angry. She had faced that experience of nearly dying when the berserked Lynd rampaged underwater. Dara blamed her hesitation in taking the steps forward and even counted that if she was more brave, she would have reached Lynd on time. And now, her weakness and fear still got the better of her.

“Hmph! Too green! Too green, all of you! You just won because this little girl’s Skill is the weakness of my son! Those three serving Cliff were braver. This is only as far as you can go, gamers. You can’t even move in my human form. How can you tremble in fear before a mere man?” Amir laughed and added emphasis on the words ‘Skill’ to point out how weak she is.

“Don’t test me, wolf!” Kristine grunted as she forced her shield and sword down.

SMASH!

Amir’s son was slammed down on the ground and Kristine’s sword was stabbed on the floor. She was planning on stabbing it, but the fear made her miss.

“Useless.” Amir taunted and didn’t even more.

Kristine was trying to push her sword so that it would slice of the head.

Suddenly, at that moment of terror, she managed to finally scale her limits and her unlocking soared.

The immense pain of transcending the stage began to take it’s toll but suddenly, Kristine’s Skill worked.

The pain and trembling stopped as she forcibly surpress the changes in her body.

But her Skill was stronger.

The sword suddenly moved dangerously close to the neck of the werewolf. Amir’s son suddenly lost his werewolf form and reverted back to being a human.

“Ugh…” The young man groaned.

Amir looked in amazement.

“So you have some potential. But it’s not impressive enough. You think you can kill him before I move?”

“Yes.” Suddenly, Kristine released her Realm. A strange, soothing and calming aura enveloped the rest of the Covenant.

The entire Covenant suddenly trembled and regained their courage and returned to pointing their weapons at Amir as their Unlocking soared.

“We can buy her a second.” Titan vowed.

“Enough to get your little boy’s head off. I wonder. Can her regenerate from that?” Dara sneered.

Amir was stunned.

“Ha Ha Ha! I guess I have to praise Arthur. He really can challenge Overcomers.”

“Arthur predicted this.” Kristine answered.

“I only call it Skill because it’s not verified. But Arthur has always said, this is a Path. I can raise the morale of those around me. If I grow strong enough, I can do that to an army!” Kristine gave a brave glare at Amir.

“Well, he should really predict things more. I need your blood.”

“He predicted that to. He said we might fight you anytime. The moment we saw this base being attacked, we knew it would draw you out. And while our desire to beat your son was to prove ourselves, you appearing before us is in his prediction. Unless I show you and convince you the full strength of my Path, you might still hurt me. But now, I just showed you that not even your Realm can terrify us. I am best left under Arthur’s and Lennox’s care if you want to save your son! That’s his prediction!”

Amir raised an eyebrow and slowly nodded.

“I have to agree with him.” Amir laughed.

“And lastly, if you still want to take a bite at me, he said that if you touch me, he and his father will hunt you, skin you, and wear you like a coat.”

“I’m sure they have more than threats to stop me from cutting off your limbs and draining you half of your blood.”

“Two things. The first, is that I would give you this. It’s my Skill extracted and converted into this liquid form.” Kristine revealed a vial and threw it Amir.

Amir caught the vial.

“Impressive.

“…This will do. Consider yourself lucky, kids.” Amir smiled.

BOOM!

The Covenant was blown back and even Kristine was pushed back.

Amir had his son in his hands.

“Don’t be too arrogant. You can’t stop me for half a second.” Amir laughed and began to walk out.

The Covenant was struggling to stand up.

Suddenly, Amir stopped.

“What’s the second one? What would have stopped me from hurting you?”

“Because…” Kristine struggled to stand up.

“I’m still Seeker’s woman!” Kristine declared.

Amir laughed.

“Keep that up, and you’ll defintiely be a Ranked Hero!” Amir disappeared.

As Amir left, everyone felt a huge sigh of relief.

“Woah… That was… scary.” Danny laughed again.

“I think I peed…” John Octavion III sighed.

“Ew.” Kristine laughed.

“Anyway, we’re here now. South America. We’ll be working directly under Seeker for a while. This is good. I bet Danny’s excited to go on his date with Meryl! I still can’t believe that you’re actually competing against a Principal… And who would have thought that Meryl would be so sadistic!” Titan exclaimed.

“Well, I guess I should have expected this when I dated someone whose best friends with Crazy Carlean. Anyway, Meryl definitely doesn’t have a thing for that Small Willy fellow! Besides, that whole thing helped me reach Inhuman!”

“How stupid.” Dara frowned.

“Oh? That’s stupid? Better than becoming Inhuman out of pure jealousy to Charm. I can’t believe that you’ve fallen for Cliff like that.”

“Whatever. I’ll win Cliff’s heart this time. Even if it’s by force! Kristine! You better win Seeker’s heart too!”

Kristine was silent and began to walk the other way.

“Congratulations in your victory. Covenant. And also for surviving Amir. That was amazing.”

“Amazing? Didn’t you see what he did?”

“I saw him exert a hundred percent of his power for a split second. That’s something, Dara.” Halley encouraged.

“…Fine. I’ll take that.”

“Alright. Time to cut off these loose ends. Titan, search for the survivors and do as planned.” Halley transmitted.

The group began to move as they moved out.

“Oh?” Halley suddenly called out.

“Our next mission is set.”

“What’s the next mission?” Kristine asked.

“Everyone get ready. I just received an emergency ping. It seems we will be working directly with Seeker and the Gryphon Squadron. Kristine… Zerahpine is out of the picture. This is your chance.”

Kristine’s heart froze for a bit.. But she then let out a sigh.
