Safe Zone

After finishing his speech, Mister Pyg saw that the humans in front of him were terrified.

As such, he sighed at their cowardice and realized that the quality must have been improved, but their willpower was as brittle as a paper.

However, he needed to act now, because his territory was short of humans, and after they learned such a thing, he would be mocked by beings similar to himself, and he wouldn't want such a shameful show to happen to him, so he drew in a mouthful of air and yelled.

"Pay attention!"

All of a sudden, all of them were startled by the sudden yell, as it reverberated through the pathways and rattling the walls as though they were about to collapse.

Bryan and the rest of the humans blocked their ears in pain, fortunately, that massive pig seems to be very skilled in controlling his voice since he only kept it loud enough for them to scarcely tolerate it.

Beside him, Hamlet's happy-go-lucky demeanor abruptly turned solemn as he stood firm behind his boss.

For the rest of the group, the upside to the sudden scream is that it helped them calm them down for a short period of time and as a result, they snap back to their reveries one at a time.

All of them looked up at the colossal pig in front of them, who stood like an immovable rock impervious to wind and rain.

"I couldn't fault you for being the first to lose heart if I, who managed this sector, was taking you all to your death; all you felt meant nothing, every dream or moment of happiness, none of it counts when you die on the arena, none of it changes, the truth is, you lower lifeforms all die sooner or later, no one is excluded. However, does this, though, imply that your lives are meaningless? Would you tell that to your children and vulnerable loved ones? What about their lives are they also meaningless?"

Mister Pyg took a deep breath and looked at the humans; they were all staring at him, and he braced himself for one more warcry to fully dispel the terror in their hearts.

"No, they are not! All of them were waiting for you to arrive and save them! Never, ever forget that. And when fighting to certain death, fight with everything you've got! People like the ones I've met today will never succumb to the cruelty of others. Even though you are not fully-fledged warriors, but you soon will be! Now Fight to the death! And experience you're first battle rookies."

Mister Pyg roared with all his might, and in an instant, the fear in the group of human's hearts have disappeared, and a sense of resolve could be seen in their eyes.

On the other hand, some of them were terrified and perplexed as to why these people seemed to be unconcerned with the fact that they are being encouraged by a man-eating pig.

However, It doesn't change the fact that they were all thinking about their loved ones and families.

Soon, their blood began to boil, their cheeks red, adrenaline kicked in, and they screamed with all their might.

Seeing that sudden change, few were reluctant at first but when the rest of them were shouting, they followed suit.

"HUAH!"

All of them screamed for everything they had. They all screamed to get rid of their frustrations and concerns, and lastly, they screamed to lend themselves courage, to not back down and flee.

Meanwhile, Bryan is not buying his act of encouragement to the humans, because he knew that this pig is not that kind. ​So he remained silent, but during the remainder of their shouting, he saw Sophia yelling hysterically with tears in her eyes, obviously venting her grievances

Mister Pyg seemed to be delighted with the results of his warcry. As the humans in front of them seemed to be actual warriors on the battlefield. But, since looks can be deceiving, he knew that a key point to a great victory is also how you manage to conduct yourself and make the enemy surrender without fighting a battle.

"Take precautions! I'm opening the door; this is the last time you'll ever need to relax, so enjoy it."

After saying that, Mister Pyg's muscles bulged with strength, his hair stood up and veins formed all over his body, the ground cracked around him, and he faced the entrance. He harrumphed coldly and opened the door with all his strength.

Not for long, a faint light shone through a visible crack in the door, as it rattled and slowly opened.

The weight of the human-faced door is utterly terrifying; the phrase "heavy" sprang to their minds as it caused their bones to jitter uncontrollably as they stared at it.

They reasoned that opening it would require unthinkable power far beyond that of the world's toughest humans and that the pig managed to open what they thought was impossible.

Sophia on the other hand is not impressed by his strength, as she witnessed the fight earlier and knows that this pig is holding back a lot of his power.

Soon, Bryan could see a slight opening of the human-faced door. However, since the light was so dazzling, a few squinted their eyes unconsciously and upon opening them again, they saw a magnificent spectacle.

It was an incredibly vast area as it's at least the size of a football stadium. It was so large that they estimated it could hold 100,000 people.

The vast room is filled to the brim with people of all sizes; they all come from the nearby human-faced doors around the area and must have encountered similar games based on the aura they gave off and their fearful disposition.

All of a sudden, the humans noticed the nearby door slowly opened and they turned to face it and watched the newcomers gradually emerge from their door.

Seeing those new people arriving. Some looked at them fearfully, while others dismissed them, understanding that the more people brought here, the more they would kill, and when they saw that another group of players was coming here to compete with them, they were filled with dread.

Bryan, in particular, is extremely eye-catching, as he was at the front of the pack, with no people can be seen beside him, except a young beautiful lady by his side.

In an instant, the people inside the door all turned away from the sight of that bloodied human, thinking that he seems to be much scarier to the recognized leaders in here since that individual appears to have bathed in a pool of blood like a psycho.

Especially, when they looked at him, he suddenly smiled in their direction, upon which giving them a massive fright.

"Welcome to the Safe Zone, and best of luck." Mister Pyg said as he stood straight like a javelin and lightly breathed out.

Bryan, Sophia, and the rest of the human's stride into the safe zone, full of fighting spirit.

They glanced about and found that the people who had been brought here were numerous; it was difficult to think how many people were here.

Bryan and Sophia took a long around and saw them chatting, quietly meditating, doing some self-training, and even enjoying food before relaxing and sleeping on the white floor.

Few people even repeatedly engage in indecent acts of affection in public in order to relieve their anxiety or have one more last orgasm before dying. Even though it was obscene, they didn't seem to mind it, as their moans grew louder and others even sneaked a peek at them or even openly watching.

Bryan was taken aback at first but quickly realized that this would be a difficult challenge that would quickly turn bloody.

He understood that when individuals are faced with adversity, they appear to make unpredictable decisions, and even doing it in public seems to be an envisioned method as of right now.

All of a sudden, he felt a dainty tugged on his tattered shirt, as Bryan saw Sophia, slightly blushing and looking down at the ground.

She is seen as anxious and tentative, but she still manages to utter a few things to Bryan.

"Bryan, would it be okay if I come with you? I can assure you that I will not be a burden, and I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I understand if you don't want to have me with you."

"When you're talking to someone, you need to look at me, and repeat what you said."

Hearing that response, Sophia is slightly worried, as she looks at Bryan in the eyes and gives a small "mph" to show she understands.

Afterward, Bryan locked eyes with her, in order to see if she really wished to collaborate with him.

At the same time, using his new special ability Lesser Evil eyes to peer deep into her soul to see if she was lying to her.

Instantly, a small red dot swirled in Bryan's Iris, which probed Sophia's soul.

However, the red dot was negligible and Sophia just felt a chill, which she dismissed as her nervousness.

While staring at his eyes, she waited for Bryan's answer, knowing that Bryan would be hesitant to accept her because of what had happened earlier, but she still wanted to give it a shot.

Bryan gave her a long look at her limpid eyes and scattered his Lesser Evil Eyes before saying,

"Sure, fine by me, but I have a few conditions that you must follow."
