Chapter 461

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 the ability to observe names, Rangka suddenly realized that it wasn't just the Rhino Horn warrior and his mount, Gurozlangu, who were pursuing him. There were many other individuals known as' Rhino Horn Soldiers', who were attempting to use waist-high weeds as cover and surround Rangka while Rangka drew Rangka's attention.

Once the encirclement was complete, Rangka would probably 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 he was confident enough to stay behind and buy time was because the martial arts he learned were exquisite despite not being powerful. Even with his limited power, he could hold his own against enemies who were much stronger than him, and he wouldn't lose so quickly even if he couldn't win.

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 Rangka didn't come to his senses at the last moment and offer his faith to the God of Games to be acknowledged as a believer, he would have died without knowing why. He wouldn't even be able to buy time from the start, dying 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. He was clearly illiterate (he couldn't read the Shaman language, and could only understand the Long Ears' native language), but he somehow understood 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. Surrendering for the sake of the continuation of one's own race will ultimately lead to the decline and decay of the entire nonhuman race!]

[Sacrifice]: Surrendering for the survival of their own kind is [s] right!

[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? 'Could this be the divine prophecy that human churches often speak of?!

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 Rhino Horn tribesmen who were surrounding him and flashed a mocking smile at them, before turning to run.

Even so, the Sultan the Warrior did not hurry to give chase when he saw that the Rhino Horn Tribesman was running into his own encirclement. Instead, he paused, waiting to see the look of despair on Rangka's face when he realized the truth.

And yet, 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 Rhino Horn tribesman was simply a Level 12 Rhino Horn tribesman who couldn't react in time, and had both of his eyes blown out!

The pain of being blinded and the instincts of a creature that had lost its sight made the Rhino Horn tribesman scream in pain, flailing his blade that was as thick as rusted iron.

Not only did his inaccurate attacks fail to hurt Rangka, it even hindered the other Rhino Horn tribesmen who were rushing to their aid after seeing that their ambush had failed.

They cried out to comfort their blinded comrade, but at the same time, Rangka had already attacked another Rhino Horn tribesman who had lost his balance for a split second after his blinded comrade was cut down!

Hence, in the next split second, another blind Rhino Horn tribesman was born.

Shocked and enraged, the Rhino Horn tribesmen began to protect their eyes even as they cursed at Rangka.

Their ability to do two things naturally diminished their aggression, and even as they surrounded Rangka, Rangka had an easier time dodging than before.

Seeing that the incomparably furious Sultan the Warrior was about to make a move, Rangka knew that he no longer had the chance to blind them.

He might be able to escape if he ran now, but it would be dangerous for the Wasps who didn't offer their faith to the God of Games.

Hence, Rangka's conviction to protect his descendants made him give up on running.

He nimbly leapt onto the bodies of the two Rhino Horn tribesmen who had been blinded. Thanks to their tribesmen's consolation, the two had calmed down from the fear of losing their sight and were no longer flailing their weapons as they did just now, which gave Rangka an opening.

Activating the intricate mechanism on the hilts of the two daggers in his hands, Rangka spun them so that the daggers became a notch longer.

Then, at the speed of lightning, he stabbed the daggers into the eye sockets of the two blind Rhino Horn 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 Rhino Horn 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 the Warrior whose entire body had turned from green-gray to red. "Someone will avenge me."

In the next split second, his head was crushed by the Rhino Horn tribesmen, and he died instantly with a 'critical strike' appearing over his head. Moments later, his corpse vanished as the Rhino Horn tribesmen watched.
