Chapter 327 Battle of the 100 Gates part 2
On Jake's side, his battle cry had achieved the desired result. Within fifty meters, there were no more Zhorions or Players to stand in his way. Those within that perimeter were, with rare exceptions, in a state unfit to put up any resistance.
A few Zhorions who had attacked from behind had only partially suffered from the sound blast, but Jake's mental attack was multi-directional. No psychic attacks had reached him and the intimidation stemming from his Apex Predator Glyph and killing intent had dampened the courage of even the most reckless of his foes.
Taking a lofty look at the powerless enemies around him, Jake snorted, then gradually deactivated the force field under his feet to test the platform's solidity.
He was both delighted and disappointed that the ground did not give way. Delighted because he didn't have to waste his attention and energy and disappointed because the entire platform was made of a dark material that his Earth Control Skill couldn't affect.
Even without having to worry about the solidity of the ground, Jake was still clumsily heavy. His enemies were unaware of his weight disadvantage, but he knew full well how slow his movements were compared to their normal performance.
That's why he intended to play the nonchalance card as long as he could before his slowness was revealed. He had to maintain the image of a terribly strong and oppressive Player to prevent these Zhorions and Players from overthinking it.
Relaxed, Jake calmly stepped forward towards one of the doors without worrying about the bloody fighting around and at the same time an invisible wave originating from his Oracle Scan activation swept across the platform with almost no one noticing.
"We were scanned by a Player. "Hakkrasha growled softly as if he was talking about the weather. No Zhorions or Players dared to approach him within ten meters.
"Do you know who he is?" Enya asked anxiously. Not knowing when she was being scanned by another participant made her anxious.
Instead of answering her the bronze alien just strolled away as if he was in his own backyard. Clearly, his mind had already moved on.
Will, who was following them closely, was close to tearing his hair out in frustration.
' Where are my fucking animals!' He lamented inwardly as he watched a Player being drained out of his blood before his very eyes by a Zhorion filled with the utmost ferocity.
Sigh... It seems like he was not fated to survive until the end of his Ordeals... Without his creatures, he was just a human with 100 Aether stats points. He had no armor or weapons and his martial skills were limited to what he had learned during his first Ordeal. He was probably the weakest of the participants.
In his self-pity, Will had fallen behind Enya and Hakkrasha without realizing it. Within seconds, he found himself trailing behind and isolated from the reassuring shadows of the young woman and her bodyguard.
The Zhorion, who had just sucked the blood of a participant to death, suddenly turned his gaze to the slender businessman and as if he could sense the vulnerability of this human, the alien licked his lips with a sadistic expression.
As he was about to pounce on the wretched Player to bite his carotid artery, Will gave him a pitiful look and immediately his desire to kill the human was greatly curbed. When Will politely asked him to "spare him," the Zhorion foolishly accepted without really understanding what had just happened before running to another enemy. It was only when he moved a few dozen meters away that he realized that he had just been the victim of a Soul Skill or something similar.
