NOVEL NEXT Chapter 84
But when the leader thought about it, even though this man was exaggerated he never requested for reinforcements of more than 20 super high-level players which means that he needed to deploy 4-6 super high-level players. 4-6 super high-level players can already be counted as a medium-sized organization which means that this force is not a joke but now he said 100 super high-level players. He couldn't help but treat it seriously but then he also remembered that if there are only two enemies then how come they needed more than a hundred super high-level players.
At once he thought that the two might be at the peak of super high level. After the ability emerged humans formed the so-called ranking system in which included 10 levels. The lower realm consists of five levels from lowest to highest: Ability-less, Low-level, Norma-level, High-level, Super high-level. Then after the first five levels which are the lower realm, there comes the medium level realm that also consists of five levels. After stepping into the medium realm a person is already considered to have a certain authority in the country.
Then after the medium realm is the highest realm that consists of three levels. This realm is where the most powerful entities on earth were ranked. And if a person reaches this realm they can already influence the nation or even the whole world itself.
In the lower realm the rank "Super high level" is on par with ten high-level ranks. And high-level ranks are on par with ten normal-level ranks that are also on par with ten low-level ranks. A low-level rank has the power of ten Abilityless people which is why all players have more authority than an ability less people.
This ranking was only for the ranking on earth and different from the game. In the game, it can tell exactly your level but humans did not follow those because if they compare the ranking of the person in the game and the real world it will not be balanced. There are some people who are almost considered as super high-level players in the game but in the real world, they are just abnormal people which is why they implement the ranking system.
In this system, it is not only based on innate ability but the overall combat strength of a person. So it means that even if a person doesn't have an ability he can still improve in ranks if he has the ability to do so. Mia's rank was Super high-level which is why he could compete with the group of assailants. The opponents consisted of high-level ones and some of them were at the peak of the high-level rank.
Blood kept surging out on Mia's wound on her shoulder. She gritted her teeth as she kept controlling herself not to get out of control. Mia had two innate abilities and one of those is enhanced strength and the other was called 'berserk'. Her berserk skill was different from the usual one because it only needs a high fluctuation of emotions and not just rely on rage alone.
When her emotions reach a certain height even if it was due to love, her berserk skill would activate and make her lose control of her strength. But if her berserk skill was not activated she can't fully exert her power. This is also the reason as to why she was getting oppressed by her opponents.
Her other skill was the enhanced strength which is a passive one and it is also different from normal skills because it can't be practised but it grows on its own. His enhanced strength skill makes her have the strength to surpass a normal human being and as she grows this skill also grows on its own. But there are instances that if she met certain conditions her skill would level up.
She was now standing in front of the four assailants that had changed their actions out of nowhere. With their actions, she knew that something was amiss. She observed carefully and also found out that Keiji was holding a sword while a man was lying down under his feet.
Mia looked at the man carefully and saw that the man was full of blood and was already as good as dead. She then looked at Keiji and then looked back at the man. Because of her high senses due to the enhanced strength skill she could clearly tell that the man was already dying.
She was dumbfounded and couldn't help but feel regret that she had come here to save a life so that it wouldn't bug her conscience. But now she was the cause of the death of the man in front of her although it was indirect she was still a part of it.
For her all life of a human being has the same value whether it is good or bad, a criminal or a samaritan it was all the same for her she doesn't want to kill anyone. She would only do so if her family is involved or if any of her loved ones were involved.
She thought 'I should have stayed and not bother about it after all one person died,' as she shook her head in helplessness.
Keiji was still standing holding the sword in his hands as he watched the approaching group of people. He was watching them through his power. He had already expanded her sense of detection earlier and sensed that the enemy was approaching at a high speed.
If there is someone watching this group of people they would be afraid out of their wits as this group was moving at half the speed of a falcon. They are running and jumping through the forest. Their speed was 120-130 miles per hour or almost the same as the speed of a car.
Keiji was observing this group of people that consisted of eleven people. One of them was leading the group as it looked around and trying to see if there was anyone around. They continued to descend and run across the forest in the direction of Keiji and the others. They were only 7 km ahead and Keiji guessed that they would arrive in less than 2 minutes.
Mia went into Keiji's side cautiously, she wanted to see if Keiji was feeling down because someone died in front of him. Keiji also looked at her and smiled, then he looked at the old man who was a cultivator before looking back to the leader of the opponents.
Mia was taken aback when she saw Keiji's eyes; she would never have thought that Keiji can still smile even under such circumstances. She did not know whether it was just a facade or if it was real, if it was real she would be scared a little.
After all, she never thought that Keiji was a bad person. In her mind, Keiji was someone who would never take advantage of someone and a protector of justice this was because Keiji saved Ryle once and Mia has already experienced it. When she got drunk Keiji didn't take advantage of her which is why she opened up her heart for him although it was not to the lover's point.
The opponent was not doing anything and was just in the defensive position waiting for someone to take action. Keiji and Mia also looked and stayed there while Mia already suspected that something was going to happen and it was dangerous for them.
"Hey, let the old man go now, can't you see he is already dying, if you let the old man go we will also go away so that you can treat that man," Mia broke the silence as she pointed at the man lying down on the ground.
The leader was also unflattered by Mia's words although they are a team they are not inclined to each other because it was a strict rule in their organization. Their organization never allowed an individual to have a relationship between their peers and even friends are not allowed. They are trained that way so that there would be no conspiracy between the other and it will be fair to anyone.
Meanwhile, as the battle goes on and as they stop fighting the old man who was in a pitiful state has slowly regained his previous strength and his wound had almost healed up already. The blood that covered the wound helped the old man to not reveal that the wound had almost healed up after all if he was still cripled and one of his hands had already been cut off.
The leader didn't answer Mia's question but the man at the distance said to be wary of the old man so he looked at the old man. When he looked at the old man he definitely saw that the old man had a better complexion than before, unlike when they were chasing him. He was not like Mia who could sense even the old man's vitality which is why it is understandable that he wouldn't know what the old man was doing.
