"Ugh!" Legs groaned in pain as he finallynded.


    Due to the chaotic manner through which they rushed into the rainbow bridge, the journey this time was not as pleasant as theynded in the beast ne in awkward positions, Prince Christensen''s was worst.


    Unable to control himself, the princended awkwardly and rolled on the yellow ground like a cut of yam being rolled through red oil seasoning, dirtying himself in the process as he groaned.


    It took some time but prince Christensen finally recovered. He didn''t just recover physically, he also recovered psychologically since the trauma of facing the giant swordmaster was still horrifyingly fresh in his mind.


    Despite his trauma, he recovered first since he was the only one that didn''t take part in the harrowing battle.


    Prince Christensen grabbed and supported his aching waist as he stood up. He was about toin before he remembered those who fought the battle.


    His eyes widened and he turned only to see Legs with blood all over his lips and chest. Predator casuallyid at a corner nursing its severe injuries, Lucky did the same, while only Ak seemed to have the motivation to get back up.


    Legs and his 3 beasts were all injured from the encounter with the swordmaster. Seeing the deep sword wound on Legs''s chest, Prince Christensen''s heart skipped a bit as he rushed closer.


    "Are you ok?" He grabbed and raised Legs up.


    "I-I''m ok…" Legs groaned as the prince held him.


    -----


    [Warning! Your health points are less than 20% and your health recovery process is suppressed due to Pugilist Energy attack!]


    [You are currently in a weakened state!]


    [Receive special treatment to counter effects of Pugilist Energy attack!]


    ----


    "F*ck!" Legs cursed on seeing this.


    This swordmaster was just as messed-up as the game version one that he yed against in his previous life.


    Apart from his giant frame, his outstanding strength and incredible swordmanship, the Pugilist swordmaster was notorious due to the special attribute of his Pugilist Energy.


    When attacked and injured by the swordmaster, his Pugilist Energy had a special ability like a poison to hinder recovery processes of his enemies.


    Legs hoped for that to be a game bug but he was sorely disappointed, the swordmaster was still the same giant sword freak that he hated.


    He tried to stand up but the pain did not let him. "Ugh…!" He groaned again.


    The more Legs groaned; the more Prince Christensen panicked on seeing his current state. "A-are you ok?" He just kept on asking as the trauma of facing the swordmaster was triggered again.


    Despite being the one that was injured, Legs took his time tofort and encourage the prince. "Don''t worry, I''ll survive and we''ll make it out of this".


    "To survive, I need a special herb that is not avable in the beast ne".


    "Beast ne?" Prince Christensen asked cluelessly, leaving Legs bbergasted as he stared on speechlessly.


    "You''re a summoner?"


    "Yeah".


    "You don''t know the beast ne?"


    "No…, is that something I should know?"


    "…"


    Legs opened and closed his mouth speechlessly. "Um…, never mind".


    To save his sanity, he stopped exining to the prince for now. At this moment, he was seriously injured, his only way of surviving was getting the Queen Orb herb but this herb was incapable of growing in the beast ne.


    This indirectly meant that to survive, he needed to return to Darvis. The problem was that returning to the swordmaster without a n was suicide.


    Having lost a lot of blood already, Legs felt lightheaded. This was when he remembered as he tore his shirt and used it to bandage the injury with the prince''s help. After this, he started thinking.


    Despite thinking for minutes, Legs was not able to arrive at a new and better n to survive, all the ns involved returning to get the herb.


    "Damn, must I face the swordmaster again?"


    Once he resigned to his fate, he started thinking of ways around it. Back in his previous world in the game, the swordmaster was notorious for a lot of things.


    One of the things he was notorious for was his determination when angered.


    When stuck in his hideout without setting another spawn point, that yer was screwed since the swordmaster would never rest until he annihted the enemy who angered him.


    "I hope this real version of him is different".


    Legs decided to wait for a day. He hoped that after waiting that long, the swordmaster would be tired of waiting and would finally leave the location of the battlefield which was now his spawn point to return to Darvis.


    He checked every few hours through the rainbow bridge.


    …


    24 hourster…


    -----


    You have activated active ability: Beast ne Summoning


    ----


    As soon as the rainbow bridge appeared, Legs peeped through while hoping. His heart soon skipped a bit though as a pair of red eyes filled with rage red back at him through the rainbow bridge.


    "Arrogant fools! Die!"


    Legs closed the bridge as he felt tears pouring down his eyes, he cursed. "This relentless bastard!"


    If the swordmaster remained there, his chances of survival were zero as even now, his health points were still reducing slowly.


    At this moment, only Lucky and Predator were with him. To keep her rtionship with them, Ak already returned to her previous wolf pack.


    Legs held his chin in deep thought. "Since that n failed, my only chance of surviving now is to fight the swordmaster and win".


    Just imagining it in his condition left Legs sick but he had no choice.


    "F*ck it!" He instantly started thinking of a n.


    A few minutester, he essed his virtual interface status.


    -----


    You have created a Grade E Faction Mission: Help the Faction Leader


    Mission Reward: +100 Favorability with the Faction Leader


    ----


    …


    For the past day, Blue River and Ghost Frenzy were left feeling anxious.


    After the battle in the hideout, Horny Assassin finished his revive chances and was therefore logged out. As for the 2 of them, they could only return to spawn in their 1st spawn point since spawning in the hideout was suicide.


    Since they did not know what happened to Legs, they could only wait anxiously while hoping that nothing too serious happened to him.


    Amid their wait, a new interface notification appeared before them.


    [You have received Grade E Mission: Help the Faction Leader!]


    [Mission Details: The faction leader is injured and stuck in the beast ne and requires your help. At 10:00am sharp, spawn back in the swordmaster hideout and jump into the rainbow bridge that appears.]


    [Additional mission details avable onpleting the first requirements.]


    [Mission Reward: +100 Favorability with the Faction Leader!]


    On seeing this new mission, both yers were thrilled as without hesitation or even looking at the rewards, they epted it, then they waited.


    An hourter when it was finally 10:00am, they bothmitted suicide as they turned into light particles. Instantly after they died, they made the changes to spawn in the swordmaster hideout.


    "Arrogant fools! Die!"


    Both yers shuddered on hearing the powerful voice of the swordmaster.


    Despite their fear, they remembered the instructions that were on the mission details. As soon as they appeared with the light particles, they saw the glowing rainbow bridge and without hesitation jumped into it.


    The swordmaster looked in shock as the 2 yers disappeared before him.


    The swordmaster was furious again. "WHERE DID THEY GO TO?!"


    …


    Once the 2 yers appeared, they were shocked on seeing Legs''s condition. Legs did not waste any time as soon as they appeared.


    "I have a mission for the both of you".
