Massive Influx (Part 8)

[Rank Z+3 target slain. 10,000,000 EP acquired.]

[Level 2 Hero slain. 5,000,000 EP acquired.]

[You are now Tyrant Level 4.]

[Unique Skill acquired. Merciless.]

[Conditions met. You are eligible to undergo a secret evolution.]

[Evolution cost: 3,000,000 EP.]

So I skipped two levels as a Tyrant because I killed so many Heroes and able to gain a secret evolution.

"Looks like you wrapped it up." a voice said.

I looked behind me and saw Andre float down to the ground. He sees my bloodied face and began to mention it.

"You got some brain and skull all over your face." Andre said.

I wipe the scatter brains and pieces of skull off my face and threw it to the side and wiped it on a nearby tree.

"So, who did you fight?" I asked.

"An Outworlder named Song-Jin Ho." Andre answered. "He's also a Half-Blood."

"Song Jin-Ho...that's a Korean name." I said. "It's been a while hearing that. It's no doubt that he came from Earth."

"Yeah, we'll talk more later. I overheard their conversation about you. They're waiting for you." Andre said.

"Oh, right. Be right back." I said.

I used Shadow Sneak and began heading back to the village to check on them.

As soon as I reached the village, the flames from before was extinguished and the situation was under control. Women tending to the injured and men clearing the burnt rubble.

"Hey, the big guy's back!" one of the villagers said. A group of villagers ran towards me.

"Who is in charge of this village?" I said in a deep voice.

"Olken. He's the village chief here and he's being taken care of inside his hut." one of the villagers said.

I feel relief from the reply that Olken is alive. I rush to the hut where Olken is at, but first I must find Tuya and Ezo to see if they're okay as well.

I used Shadow Sneak again to find my way to Olken's hut. When I jumped out, a child yelled out.

"Mr. Ezo, Mrs. Tuya! The big red man is here!" one of the children yelled.

Ezo and Tuya come out of Olken's hut, wearing bandages for their wounds. I wanted to rush in and hug them, but that would cause suspicions.

"Is the chief inside?" I asked in a deep voice.

"Yeah. Since you saved us, we should let him know." Ezo said.

I followed the two inside the hut. I crouch down to enter the hut because I was taller than the entrance to the hut.

When I went inside, I still have to bend my neck downwards slightly as my horns can touch the ceiling. To be honest, it's been a long time I've been in this hut.

"Who's there?" an elderly voice rang out.

"Olken, this the oni that saved the village." Tuya said.

I crouched down again to the next room and see Olken with some bandages on him and a cast on his arm.

"Ah, the big lad's the one who fended off the so-called Heroes, huh?" Olken said. "I can't believe the heroes attacked us. We didn't have a Tyrant at all since this village was established!"

"Yeah! Their status should've been revoked the moment they struck a civilian!" one of the villagers yelled. The other villagers agreed as well since the Heroes' actions is nothing short of barbaric.

"Red lad, do you know where they come from?" Olken asked.

I could tell them about them being sent by Myridermas, but if I do that, they'll think they've ridiculed that god.

"I don't know. But they won't mess with you again." I said.

"That's good to hear, lad. They shouldn't be heroes to begin with." Olken smiled. I nodded.

"I'll take care of the corpses." I said. I turned around to leave the hut.

I exited the hut to pick up Feldman's corpse. I lift him over my shoulder where his now missing head hangs over to my back.

*Drip* *Drip*

Blood still drips from his body, but I kept going to pick up Sophia's corpse as well. I then use Shadow Sneak to leave the village.

I reached back to Andre who is resting his spear on his shoulders.

"You need blood? I bet you used those Sanguine Weapons." I said.

"Already did. Is that the last two?" Andre said.

"Yeah." I said. "All yours."

He stabbed the two corpses and drained their blood to recover his strength.

"It ain't much, but better than nothing." Andre said. "Did you wrap things up?"

"Yeah, let's head to Telgrin Mountains and regroup." I said. "Let's call Ashley first."

[Sending transmission...]

[Connected.]

"Ashley, are you finished?" I said.

["Yeah, I've wrapped things up on my end."] Ashley replied.

"Meet us at Telgrin Mountains, we'll think our next move there." I said.

[Transmission ended.]

"What did she say?" Andre said.

"She wrapped things up on her end and heading to the Telgrin Mountains." I answered.

Even though the system let me know about Ezo and Tuya, but it didn't warn me about Hyoran. Not yet. If it didn't happen today, it'll happen some other day.

With that, I used Space Magic to transport the two of us to Telgrin Mountains.

*Voom!*

We reached to the mountains again and back to where Xydrid was once found. A place where we can rest a bit.

"While we were waiting, let's check on the monsters in my Isolated Space." I said.

*Voom!*

I bring Andre and I into the Isolated Space and came to check on the monsters that are evolving or finished evolving.

To our disbelief, it has taken our breath the moment we laid our eyes on them. An army of monsters with newfound powers.
