Chapter 189: Survive lll

Hentai awarded the Strangle Thorn Tortoise with a purified Nature Type energy further strengthening it

The Strangle Thorn Tortoise was actually frustrated to see its prey disappears but after receiving its reward it forgot about it and merrily went to hunt once again

Now there are only 24 participants left in the Sanctuary

Too bad for Adonis he did not manage to earn one point

Just as everyone was busy watching their chosen participant a commotion could be heard on some viewers as they started pointing on one screen

The particular screen shows what is happening to Axe Demon Zack

On the screen Axe Demon Zack was fighting against an ape type monster

This monster was one of the stronger Silver Rank monster in the Sanctuary

This monster was also captured but not on the Howling Ridge but from a barren land

The apes were all malnourished causing the whole tribe to be weaken drastically

Shadowslash brought them to the Sanctuary and just like most ape type monster they were intelligent

After receiving his grace the ape tribe swore fealty to him

In this survival game they are protected by Hentai so that none of their tribesmen would be killed

Shadowslash also told them they would earn corresponding rewards based on how many points they would earn during the game

Unlike the participants they could only earn points if they took down a participant

What Axe Demon Zack is facing right now was the chieftain of the tribe this monster was on the boundary between Silver and Gold Rank

The monsters are called Silverback Gorillas and just like the name suggested their back is extremely tough also they have long arms that could deliver explosive strength on them

This monster would be born as a Silver Rank monster but each of them would be born at Normal Grade if it has the bloodline of the chief the child could perhaps be a Good Rank monster

To evolve once more to Gold Rank they needed to raise their rank into Excellent and only a chieftain would be a Superior Grade monster

There could only be one chieftain on a tribe so if another show up it could challenge the present chieftain

If the challenger lose they could agree to be a subordinate earning the title Elite or they could leave the tribe

Once a Silverback Gorilla evolve their hair would become golden becoming.a Goldenback Gorilla

If it is a Chieftain it would evolve into a Four Armed Goldenback Gorilla and if it is an Elite it would become Strong Arm Goldenback Gorilla

The Silverback Gorillas are Steel and Strength Type monsters also to hasten their growth a specific fruit were consumed it is a tree that was a favourite by Steel Type monsters

The Iron Fruit Tree the fruits are heavy but not hard if consumed by a Steel Type monster their body would improve wether in defence or strength

The Iron Fruit is rare but not that extremely rare the only thing is that the Iron Fruit Tree would only grow if the ground it growing has iron deposit so it was extremely hard to take care of

This is not a problem for Shadowslash after buying seven Iron Fruit he planted them immediately

Hentai is the main thing why it is not a problem for Shadowslash since it could just absorbs the Steel Element that was floating in the air or buried in the ground to the Iron Fruit Trees

Shadowslash also buried a couple weapons that was already rusty or no use anymore he buried these items directly underneath each Iron Fruit Tree

Since this would definitely implicate the other plants he only plant the Iron Fruits near a cave next to the territory of the Silverback Gorillas

The chief of the Silverback Gorilla tribe is called Eugene the hairs on his chest have already become golden signalling it is close into breaking through Gold Rank

Axe Demon Zack felt a great pressure coming from Eugene

He is surrounded by other Silverback Gorillas but they are not attacking their just heating their chest and shouting

Eugene was standing in front of Axe Demon Zack looking at him in disdain

The only humans he ever like was those that were a member of the organization since they are somewhat responsible for building the Sanctuary

With a stomp Eugene flew towards Axe Demon Zack

Axe Demon Zack immediately swings his axe towards the incoming Eugene

*Peng* When the axe collided with Eugene's arm it produced a sound that sounded like two metals clashing

After blocking the axe Eugene send a punch at Axe Demon Zack

"Demon Slash!" Seeing Eugene's fist coming closer Axe Demon Zack used one of his signature technique

*Bang* The two attacks once again collided Eugene's punch did not manage to go through but the one who lost in the collision was Axe Demon Zack

He was pushed back his right hand were trembling a bit

Eugene was actually surprised he did not manage to defeat Axe Demon Zack immediately

When they were just surviving in a barren land even though he was malnourished he could still beat petty humans that tried to invade his territory

To think that now that he was on his peak condition could not beat Axe Demon Zack with one punch it seems that his opponent is much more stronger than he thought

He then became serious as he once again charged at Axe Demon Zack this time he was using his skill

[Iron Punch] this skill strengthens the arm with Steel Element but once thrown the speed of the punch would also increase

Axe Demon Zack senses the threat of the punch and once again used one of his famous techniques

[Demon Fang] he then swung his two axes towards Eugene's fist

*Bang* The sound of metal clashing could once again be heard

Just as Axe Demon Zack thought he blocked Eugene's attack he was sent flying destroying two trees in the process

Axe Demon Zack became dizzy receiving the attack also he was hit in the chin causing him to be in a state of paralysis

This was one of Eugene's skill the [Brutal Hook] this attack might not have any Elemental Energy on it but just pure brute strength but this skill was considered quite fast

Eugene won't let go of the chance of defeating his opponent he immediately dashed towards Axe Demon Zack sending an [Iron Punch]

Immediately Hentai sent Axe Demon Zack out of the Sanctuary

The punch destroyed the thick tree causing Eugene to be confused since he saw Axe Demon Zack enveloped in white glow before disappearing

He then remembers what Shadowslash told him so he calms down quite quickly but this time he now wanted to face other human participants in the game

Other than he could earn points he could also improve himself

The screen that Axe Demon Zack belongs becomes red and another four big words could be seen on it Participant Number 18 Terminated

Another participant was terminated just as everyone was sighing another announcement could be heard Participant Number 256 Terminated

What made everyone watching the screen that Baron Lupilia Lis Shermaine belongs to is that the way she was eliminated

She really is an embodiment of a rich princess of a noble house

To think that she became very miserable just after walking in the forest just for a bit and she falls in a mud pit sinking deeply before she was eliminated

It seems that being a noble is quite an disadvantage in the final phase of the tournament

The commoners might not say it but they were enjoying watching the nobles suffers especially rich brats that has no experience in the wild

The other nobles aren't faring well either other than Viscount Emil Morz Esmindipus who has his two tamed monsters to do his bidding the others were still getting used to their environment

Suddenly another Announcement could be heard this time the participants were also informed

"Participant Number 337 was taken down by Guardian Number 320"

The participants who were not that informed towards Violet started to become nervous

From the replay they saw Gertold Cray fighting with Silver Rank Rock Lizard he was on guard the whole time even if he was fighting with the Rock Lizard

He would never thought that Violet is an experienced hunter she is patient and cunning once she got close enough she immediately used [Dark Charge] then [Shadow Claw]

Thankfully Hentai manage to immediately protects Gertold Cray if not his head should have been rolling in the ground

A monster would definitely have an advantage fighting in the wild so the audience felt it was bit unfair towards the other participants if they ever fought the guardians

The number of eliminated participants have increased quite fast it seems that the game wouldn't last a day

Shadowslash then watched Banjo's situation once again since the participants started to become a bit more cautious
