[A few Minutes later.] The number of Xof beasts increased. The three Humans, Ace, Cherry, and Skyler, were getting overwhelmed with protecting Cherry while dealing with the Xof at the same time. The number of the Xof got so many that it prompted Skyler to use Eneraflux and Jim to transform. Ace remained by his sister’s side while dealing with the Xof with the help of his clones. Since their numbers increased, the Mutant decided to equip four more clones. Despite this, controlling a larger amount of blood started to take a toll on his energy. Due to the range of each clone and what they were assigned to do, Ace started to grow fatigued. Also... [Ranking Process is now at 15%] Ace sucked his teeth in frustration, clearly bothered by how long it was taking to rank his sister to the next level. Eventually, Jim got overwhelmed and the number of Xof getting passed him started to bother Ace. Sure, he could have elongated his blood sword to kill more creatures faster, but it would take large chunks of his energy at a much faster rate. He needed to transform soon while also protecting Cherry, or else he would be at risk of losing the system quest. [Transformation in Progress.] As soon as he transformed, Ace covered his sister in a large enough blood dome and then solidified it. For extra safety measures, he layered the dome five times, knowing it would take some time for the Xof to get through. Check latest chapters at 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩~𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢~𝔫𝔢𝔱 ’Just to make sure nothing gets through.’ [Explosive Blood Technique: Activated.] The Blood Bishop surrounded the dome with his own blood and set it to explode as soon as anything that wasn’t him or Cherry touched it. That way, he would be alerted of the danger and rushed to work on it immediately. [Notification: The number of opponents ahead of you is vast. Use this as an opportunity to stalk up on experience points. See how many you can get.] [For each creature killed, you will receive two experience points.] ’Two’ he wondered. ’I’ve gotten so strong that beasts like these only give me two experience points. Fine by me then.’ [Blood Drain Skill Level 2: Activated.] Since his blood strength was considerably high, Ace decided to take out a large number of the Xof beasts in just one move. With his hands raised above his head and his fingers folded into fists. The beasts ahead of him stopped in their tracks, their bodies shriveling and shrinking immediately. Slowly by slowly, all the blood in their bodies slowly slipped through their flesh and gathered on the Mutant’s fingers. In an instant, the Xof Ace drained dropped to the ground, leaving him was an unpleasant amount of experience points but a great amount of blood. [Exp:97/230>>>133/230] [+2 Blood Strength Points.] [Blood Strength:65>>>67] With a great amount of blood in his possession, Ace spread it across the floor, creating a carpet-like layer of blood that was five inches thick. The carpet stretched for eight feet, the distance that was between him and Jim. Squatting on one knee, the Mutant waited for the number of Xof to increase and then when the amount was right, he conjured all the blood together and turned them into ten feet long blood spikes that impaled and killed the Xof immediately. He repeated the same move over and over again, widening the range of his blood carpet while also increasing its thickness. The Xof eventually caught onto what he was doing and decided to go airborne. Instead of stepping on the blood carpet, the creatures stepped on each other and jumped for the Mutant’s head with the intent to claw his eyes out. [EXP: 133/230>>>175/230] At this rate, it’ll take me forever to get to level 50.’ He complained, deciding to approach the Xof instead of waiting for them to get to him. ’I have no choice. I’ll advance then.’ Cancelling his blood carpet, Ace used all the excess blood and created two-inch-long shards of blood. He quickly ran to Jim’s side and assisted him with the beasts that were proving to be a challenge. With one hand in the air, the Mutant poured down a rain of blood shards that pierced the Xof and killed a majority of them in an instant. Those fortunate enough to escape this suffered torn flesh and severed limbs. "The numbers are not reducing." Skyler complained, surprised that she hadn’t gotten to one hundred kills despite the amount of time she spent fighting and killing. "I can’t keep this up much longer without my energy dwindling." "We can’t get to you right now," Jim complained. "Our hands are full. These little nags are coming in in great numbers. How many of them did the Granians create?" {Subject Skyler Parkson has completed the Third Phase.} "THEY’RE NOT STOPPING!!" Skyler gritted her teeth angrily and growled. Changing from her groundhog to cat-like beast form, giving her smaller but longer, sharper, and two more arms. Her legs grew longer, claws grew sharper, and two tails with curved bones on the ends grew from the top of her backside. "Skyler, WAIT!!" Jim wanred, trying to stop the woman from running to the Xof. However, the woman moved through the Xof quickly and swiftly. Like a cat inside a chick house, Skyler leaped, pounced, and bit the heads off of the Xof with ease. While doing so, she’d absorb some of their DNA in the process, keeping her in pain but at the same time driving her to kill more of the Xof quickly. {Subject Jim has completed the Third Phase} "Then why aren’t the numbers reducing?" he asked as his body started to give out. "Cover me, I need to feed." As Jim took a few seconds to consume a good amount of blood to replenish his lost energy, Ace handled Jim’s share of the Xof and his own while also looking over his own energy. The more he killed, the faster he scored experience points but also lost energy points in the process. Just then...
