In the split second that he offered his faith to the God of Games, Rangka felt as if the world in his eyes had changed.
First of all, there seemed to be something unexplainable in the depths of his soul. After all, the 'System' was something that natives of fantasy worlds could hardly understand, and it was only after Xi Wei's idiotic believers got the hang of it and taught their juniors by word and deed that the Players who came after him could use the System with ease.
After that, he could see a lot more things in his eyes.
For example, the enemy's name and HP bar.
Putting the latter aside, the former could be considered more intuitive. Not to mention the Mutants whose IQ was similar to that of humans, even a monkey might be able to understand it after some exploration.
With that ability to observe names, Rangka suddenly realized that it wasn't just the Rhinoceros Horn warrior and his mount, Gurozlan, who were pursuing him. There were many individuals known as' Rhinoceros Horn soldiers' who were attempting to use waist-high weeds as cover and surround Rangka even as Rangka drew Rangka's attention.
Once the encirclement was complete, the sultan would probably immediately ride Gurozlangu to hunt down Laybit and the Horned Horns princess, leaving Rangka for the other Rhino Horn tribesmen to deal with.
Rangka broke out in cold sweat at that.
The reason why he had the slightest bit of confidence to stay behind and stall for time was that although the martial arts he had mastered were not powerful, they were very exquisite. Under the circumstances where his own strength was limited, he could contend with an enemy who was much stronger than him. Even if he could not defeat his opponent, at least he would not be defeated so quickly.
Still, that was limited to one-on-one fights. It would be a different story if he was surrounded by a bunch of Rhino Horn tribesmen.
If he didn't come to his senses at the last moment and offer his faith to the God of Games and become acknowledged as a believer, he would have died without knowing why he died. He wouldn't even be able to buy time, and would have died for nothing.
Be that as it may, the situation was still very bad.
He was definitely no match for Sultan himself (for some reason, the words' Level-39, Elite Template 'appeared above the head of the Rhinoceros Horn Warrior), not even his mount, Gurozlan (Level-35, Elite Template).
Not to mention the Rhino Horn tribesmen who were trying to surround him.
But just as Rangka was at a loss for what to do, unusual words suddenly appeared before his eyes. Even though he was illiterate (he couldn't read Xiumen, and could only understand the Long Ears' native language that was passed down through generations), he could somehow understand what those words meant.
[Side Quest: Traitor Must Die]
[Quest Description: The Rhinoceros Horn Tribe is one of the stronger non-human tribes on the herbivore side. In this critical moment, not only did they not help the other non-human tribes who are being oppressed, they even sided with Swordtail Grayclaw, waving the butcher's knife against their former ally. Such a foolish choice of surrendering for the sake of their own race would ultimately cause all nonhumans to fall into the abyss of decay and decay!]
[Sacrifice: You can kill all of the Rhino Horn Tribe members]
[Completion Reward: Obtain EXP equivalent to 100 times the number of kills. For every kill, randomly obtain 1 piece of Level 0 ~ 15 Blue Superior Grade equipment (Limited to Rhino Horn Equipment Set)]
[Remarks: The traitor must pay the price of blood to wake him up!]
Though he didn't know why such words would appear, Rangka was one of the more knowledgeable among the Long Ears, and quickly had some guesses.
"Could this be the 'oracle' that the human church often talked about? That's great! I'm gradually understanding everything! '
Instead of clashing head-on with the Sultan the Warrior, he chose to ambush the rhinoceros horned tribesmen who were surrounding him. That was the God of Games' oracle to him!
With that belief in mind, Rangka evaded the incoming sultan and flashed a mocking smile at it before turning to run.
Even so, the sultan the warrior was not in a hurry to give chase when he saw that Rangka was running into his own tribe's encirclement. Instead, he paused, waiting to see the look of despair on Rangka's face when he realized the truth.
However, something unexpected happened.
Even as Rangka was about to run into the ambushing Rhino Horn, he reacted a step faster than the ambushing Rhino Horn, and stabbed his twin daggers at the Rhino Horn's eyes with a burst of speed that was even faster than before!
The sultan could have easily evaded that level of explosive power, but the ambushing tribesman was a normal (level 12) Rhinoceros horned tribesman who couldn't react at all, and had his eyes pierced straight through!
The pain of being blinded and the instincts of a creature that had lost its sight made the Rhinoceros horned tribesman shriek in pain, flailing his blade that was as thick as a rusted iron bar.
Not only did his inaccurate attacks fail to hurt Rangka, it even hindered the other Rhinoceros horned tribesmen who were rushing to help after seeing that their ambush had failed.
Even as they cried out to comfort their blinded comrade, Rangka had already taken the initiative to attack another Rhino Horn who had lost his balance for a split second to avoid being cut down by another Rhino Horn who had almost been blinded!
Hence, in the next split second, another blind Rhinoceros horned tribesman was born.
The Rhinoceros horned tribesmen were both shocked and furious. Even as they cursed Rangka, they all began to protect their own eyes.
Their ability to multitask naturally diminished their aggression, and even as they surrounded Rangka, Rangka had an easier time dodging than before.
Seeing that the furious sultan the warrior was about to rush to his aid, Rangka knew that he no longer had the chance to blind his tribesmen.
He might be able to escape if he ran now, but it would be dangerous for the tribesmen who didn't offer their faith to the God of Games.
Rangka's conviction to protect his descendants made him give up on running.
Instead, he nimbly leapt onto the bodies of the two blinded Rhinoceros horned tribesmen. Thanks to their tribesmen's consolation, the two had calmed down from their fear of losing their sight and were no longer flailing their weapons as they did just now, giving Rangka an opening.
Activating the intricate mechanism on the hilts of the two daggers in his hands, Rangka twisted them to lengthen the daggers by a notch.
Then, at the speed of lightning, he stabbed the daggers into the eye sockets of the two blind Rhinoceros horned tribesmen who had yet to react. This time, he was striking at full power without exposing himself, and the two daggers sank directly into their skulls. With Rangka deliberately stirring the daggers, the two Rhinoceros Horned tribesmen's heads were crushed into tofu pudding, and they died on the spot!
"Just you wait!" Rangka said fearlessly even as he stared at the furious sultan whose entire body had turned from grayish-green to red. "Someone will avenge me."
In the next split second, Rangka's head was crushed by his opponent, and a 'critical strike' appeared over his head before he died instantly, his corpse vanishing as the Rhinoceros horned tribesmen watched.
