Chapter 75: Graders Showdown!

Chapter 75: Graders Showdown!

Go, go, go! Lions and pinnacle-tier Porcupine first, then high-tier porcupines. Ignore others! Miles ran towards the lions as he ordered. More thunder lions were coming and if Miles didnt hear wrong, there were at least five of them. It was a certain dead spell.

Xavic wasnt any slower and ran to pinnacle-tier Porcupine and cut open its head. When Miles was done with Lions, he turned to look at Zall and saw him carrying three dead high-tier Porcupine bodies and running away from the crime scene.

What the hell! He shouted inwardly but ignored it for the time being. He and Xavic followed the giant man and started to run away. Lions were still some distance away and they had a shot of escape. Luckily Thunder Lions were still kings of the forest, and as the other monsters felt their anger, they also started to run and the path was clear. If they had encountered any other enemy, Miles and others would die for sure.

The run took more than half an hour and roars were always behind them. Miles didnt know if lions were actually following them or they were just crying over two of their companions, but he still felt danger as if the scythe of death was on his neck. Luckily they got out of the forest safe and sound. Dead tired, but in one piece.

That was close. Xavic lied on the ground with his tongue out. I could hear their roars in my head.

At least we got out safe. Zall smiled as always as he placed the three porcupines on the ground.

Why didnt you cut open their heads, instead you brought them. It could have slowed you down. Miles asked after they got out of danger, it was time to reprimand his teammate.

Sorry, but I cannot do that. Zall looked at the ground like a child and apologized. Even though Miles still had things to say, he gave up on those thoughts after he saw how guilty Zall looked. He sighed and walked to the porcupines. After he cut open two of their heads, he found only cores, but the last one surprisingly was an orb.

What is that? Xavic walked to the orb and placed the pinnacle-tier Monster Core he removed from the porcupine. In Miles' hand, the purple orb turned into a spiky shield.

A shield, not bad. Miles looked at the shield as big as a man's torso. There were spikes at the front and a handle at the back. "Also this", Miles removed the orb from his bag and shoved it to others. In the purple orb, in the cloudy sky, a lion head was floating.

Which one do you want? Miles asked Zall. Xavic already took the first orb, and he and Zall had yet to take any orbs. So he asked. After all, one of them was pinnacle-tier, and the other was high-tier.

I dont want anything dangerous. You can take both. Zall shook his head and didnt even take a second look.

You what? Miles looked at him with his mouth agape. "The shield is still defensive, why dont you take it? Miles asked.

Still, it is too powerful. As expected, the pinnacle-tier, almost Frenzy-Rank!.

Miles left the stronghold after storing his orbs. But as soon as he did, Coin notified him. Carl is calling.

The voice of a person from the other line was then heard upon answering.

Miles, where the hell are you? I have been trying to call you for the whole day. Carl said excitedly.

I just left Portal World. What happened? He asked.

I found tickets for the Graders' showdown! It is tonight, get your lazy ass here right now! Carl said with the same excitement.

Miles looked at the horizon and noticed the sun was about to set.

Where are you? He asked Carl.

I am at the Hero Crimson Arena, come right now. Carl ended the call.

Miles sighed and just hopped on the train again, going to the capital's square. He had visited the place a few days ago to buy a serum, and the biggest arena in the capital was also close in that area.

Graders, huh! Now that I think of it, it is not that far from the graders' competition to start once again. Miles thought.

Graders were the champions of the competition held in Portal World. In the F-Circle, there was a giant arena built by the native race of the Portal World. Even after so long, the arena was still working and standing. Every three years it would be open, and humans could enter to compete against each other.

To participate, one had to drop their blood on the devices at the entrance. Then, the arena would match participants with each other randomly. The top three of the competition would receive weapons created by the same race. Even though that civilization died eons ago, their weapons were still much better than humanity's. So, people of three circles, G, F, and E, would flock over to the competition.
