Training with the demon.

Everyone was at a standstill after the beast have appeared. They still couldn't believe that a stone could actually bring something back to life, now that they are seeing this for the second time, they couldn't imagine how many beasts will be coming back.

While they all were still lost, the beast attacked first with a swing of his arm. An outline of claw made from the fire was sent out in all directions.

Nate quickly brought out his sword and block the hit. He then swings it at the beast horizontally. Rather than an icing threat, this time was a fire thread that came out and hit the beast's belly.

"Okay everyone, nap it, you all have to take this seriously, I might not be helping you guys on this," Nate said.

Twain for himself ready with his gun. As the beast was coming for another swing, he fired a bullet at his hand. It was harmless to the beast as its claw came down on them.

Lyon throughout his syringe at the beast copying the DNA, he dashed forward and leapt up, his wing sprouting out and with a few flaps, he launched himself at the beast like a missile.

The Lyon hit the beast in the stomach with force, yet, they were no sign of it flinching. The beast opened its mouth and blast out a plasma.

Lyon had no other options than to use his wing to cover himself, yet when the attack hit, he was sent flying backwards and clashed roughly on the ground.

He was injured all over his body, yet he ignored the pain and picked himself up before flapping his wings again. But it was basically impossible for him to use them again.

'Ahhhh.....!" lyon grind his teeth before looking at the beast like a predator looking at its prey. Spikes started to grow from his back.

'Let's do this the old fashion way,' he thought.

Meanwhile, the beast had no time to maintain its attention on Lyon, as it faced the others, especially the twain that have been shooting at him. Although the bullets were harmless, it was still annoying to take those hits constantly.

The beast's head started to blaze with flames as it grow more changing the temperature of the. Opening its mouth, the beast fired out another plasma blast at Twain, but Nate stepped forward at the right time to block the hit with his sword...

Of course, it was infused with his bloodline power, after the attack was over, Nate stepped aside for Twain to continue his barrages of attacks.

He then switched to the cannon shooter that was given to them by Leo. The weapon has proven to be a strong weapon though its strengths depend on how much energy was given to it.

Twain started to fire out the cannon and the recoil was so great that the first shoot sent him skidding on his back.

The shot hit, and the beast roared before forcing its attention on Twain again. Although there was no physical injury visible on the beast's body, it was still apparent that it was still a painful blow.

Seeing that the beast has focused his attention on Twain, lyon shot out his spikes from behind. They made sure to make them large enough to pierce through the beast's body.

"Roar,....!!!" another roar was heard from the beast again as its attention went back to Lyon. By now, his injuries were all long gone.

Flapping his wings again, Lyon took off from the ground and launched itself at the beast. It was just a replicate of what he did before. But when the beast swung its claw, Lyon moved to the side to dodge the blow and then throw out his fist at one of the spikes that were close to the beast's armpit pushing it further deep into the beast's flesh.

Blood gushed out from the wound. Lyon retreated backwards allowing the beast's hand to swing by, he then spit out the acidic spit on the beast.

The beast cried out in pain, but swing its hand again, but Lyon once again flew further into the sky and then retracted his wings before starting to fall.

He spun his body around while throughout his fist. He targeted the spike on the beast's shoulder hitting it and making it go in deeper.

The beast fall to the ground, but Lyon was not done yet, he cried out to the eagle cry just beside the beast's ear. He quickly jumped off its body before the beast slammed its palm on its ear.

Lyon immediately jumped backwards away from the beast as it roll on the floor in pain.

It was then Nate rushed to the beast and swung his sword cutting its head off.

[You have killed a demon-level beast,]

[Reward = Diamond medal]

Nate ignored the notification, instead, he was more focused on the beast crystal. He soon found it. Just like the one from before, it was red and read the same amount of energy.

Suddenly, something strange started to happen to the beast's body. They all could see as their body started to deteriorate before them. Its flesh started to fall off leaving the beast bone alone.

'Is this what happened to the beast created through this means? Once they are killed, their body deteriorates faster than they should,' Nate wondered.

Just then, he has received a message from Peter. The blood that he needed had all been collected.

Nate throws the beast crystal towards Lyon.

"I know you need the energy in it to power your body," he said before walking off.

Lyon who was now holding the crystal smiled before bringing the crystal to his mouth. He swallowed the beast's crystal.

As it gets to his stomach, his body slowly started to consume the energy from the Crystal. Lyon felt all his cells activate and take their sheer energy.

The was so enticed by the feeling that he passed out without even knowing about this.

Meanwhile, Nate has reached the storage room where Peter hands him a bowl.

Looking at the bowl of blood, Nate was at a loss. Although now he has the bowl of blood needed for the pledge ritual to start, he had no idea how to do it.

For them to pledge anyone, he first has to promise something, and then the other will pledge to serve him once he was able to fulfil his promise.

But the problem was that he was talking to mindless zombies, he doesn't even know if they will understand him, but he at least have to try and make a promise.

"I promise to make you all like me, all I need is for you to agree on serving me, when I am done with fighting the matrix, I promise to turn you all into intelligent zombies," Nate said.

However, there was no response from the zombies, but something was happening. The blood on the bowl started to disappear into thin air leaving the bowl empty.

[Pledge members = 1,052,878]

Seeing this number, Nate smiled. All he needs now was just a day, and it will all be over.
