Chapter 425: Arena 1 VS 1000!
“Let the feast begin…”
Jack instantly felt the pressure.
Newborns as far as the eyes could see, so many of them that they bloated the Arena grounds. And as soon as they heard their lizard leader, they went feral!
A powerful wave of Mana engulfed the Arena…
[Ding! New Mission: Survive the Feast!]
[Warning! Killing Intent Detected!]
[3…2…1…. Good Luck!]
With this, the Apocalypse started.
They ALL charged at him, showing evil grins.
They would feast on the tyrant’s blood, bones, and marrow. They’d devour all that made Jack and would steal his power away! In a matter of seconds, they were upon him.
No escape.
Walls of death all around.
The spectators giving cruel laughs.
“Hehe, that crazy newborn’s getting torn!”
“Without it’s Fire Magic, it’s worthless!”
“Its master will follow soon too.”
“Serves them well! DIE!”
From top to bottom, there was only hate, and at the center of it was a despairing Jack who was about to kick the bucket for sure! In fact, he overflowed with tears of regret.
Even his voice was tinged with incredible sorrow:
“Why? Why is the world so damn cold?”
“This is so unfair! Is this the end?”
“That has to be it…”
That’s when he was engulfed by the swarm of newborns, a visual that would have given anyone PTSD! It was so intense that even the system couldn’t help but chime in.
[Survival Chance 0.001%!]
[Turn Pain Setting Down? Y/N?]
Jack could almost feel the System’s eagerness!
There was no way to survive this! For once, it would prevail over the crazy bastard that had given its AI nightmares in recent weeks! For once, it would… NVM.
Even now, Jack was manipulating the interface, the earlier tears an act?!
[Host is Actually Recording?!]
Yes. Yes, he was.
Just in time for everything to go to Hell. As the first newborns reached him, he was actually inwardly making calculations. And that’s when he went ALL OUT!
Jack used all his energy to counter!

…
That was it?!
Countless damage values appeared above the lizard-ling swarm, but why was it a string of zeros?! Seeing this, many spectators guffawed loudly.
“Pfft— Did you see it try and fight?”
“Hehe, it didn’t even leave a scratch on them!”
“Hahahaha, look at it bounce everywhere! It can’t even hold its ground!”
Jack had done his best, but he was so goddamn weak, so weak that he didn’t even manage to push his opponents back. In fact, as he parried their attacks, he rag-dolled all over!
He was akin to a ball bouncing on a trampoline… BOUNCY AF! But then gravity mercilessly brought him back down. Right into the swarm, a certain system almost gasping.
Had this crazy host finally run out of options?! In the midst of the creatures, Jack was barely surviving.
[Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry! Successful Parry!]
He was totally getting screwed! With every successful parry, he could control his body less and less as he kept rag-dolling, and then it finally reached a breaking point!
— Crush! Splatter! Devour! —
A skull was smashed to pieces.
Scales shattered all over the place.
Blue blood overflowed, causing maddening cheers.
“Hehe, that’s it! Down with the Regen family!”
“For Scaly’s Sake, this is so satisfying!”
“Wait, isn’t there… too much blood?!”
A certain lizard suddenly exclaimed, perplexed. How could there be so much bloodshed as they killed a single newborn? But that’s when the observant ones lost their bloody mind.
It came out of the swarm like a cannonball!
A tiny newborn was… flying?!
What the hell was that?! And then it got even worse as the newborn extended its arms and legs like a flying squirrel as it very slowly glided down using its tiny body?!
And just like that, Jack landed in a corner away from the madness.
In the center, there were still newborns “killing him”. He had gotten out of there so quickly that they hadn’t even realized that he was gone!
[Error! Error! Error! Unknown Skill!]
[Analyzing! Analyzing Analyzing!]
[Host Used Regular Parrying?!]
“For those at home…”
With a massacre happening in the background, Jack actually took a second to draw in the arena’s sand for the viewers’ sake. Yet, his scribbles looked more insane than the fight?!
Yours truly = Very Light!
Swarm of Newborn = STRONK AF!
Newton’s Third Law + Parry = Very OP!
Yet, even with the explanation, a certain system was running into thousands of errors. This wasn’t humanly possible! One would have to calculate the vector of hundreds of attacks?!
Then, do it over and over to build enough momentum to leave so fast that the newborns didn’t even realize that he was gone… and that wasn’t even considering the timing to leave?!
Smiling, Jack didn’t care about the system’s errors. Nope, he had just approached the battlefield from behind, giving a defiant smile to a certain shell-shocked Tan’Hos.
What was it the bastard had said before? Oh right:
“Let the feast begin….”
Without any reservation, Jack plunged his maw straight into one of the lazier newborns at the edge of the battlefield. The effect was instantaneous as he targeted the vitals.
[Ding! Successfully killed a Newborn!]
[Obtained 10 Life Energy!]
[Regenerated 5 Mana!]
The poor newborn never had a chance.
As the life left its body, a look of pure disbelief and betrayal passed through its young eyes. If their target was here, then why the hell was the swarm still attacking in front?!
It would never know…
Luckily, it would miss the real Apocalypse that was now starting.
Jack went on a killing spree, using his claws, his fangs, and even his victims to slaughter more and more of the lizards until they finally realized his presence!
But by then, it was already over. With every kill, he only grew stronger. With every kill, his body actually visibly bulked up?! So this was what it meant to feast, eh?
[Obtained 10 Life Energy!]
[Obtained 10 Life Energy!]
[Obtained 10 Life Energy!]
How much stronger would he get?
He couldn’t wait to find out…
