Chapter 226 – Ranchi’s Species Evolution Special Training

In the cool winter air that filled the air, Huberian covered Talia’s hand as if she wanted to share a little warmth with her.

“Tata you go home first, I’ll ask Ranch to give me a ride back to the Cat Boss Restaurant later.”

Huberian said softly and considerately as she gazed at Talia.

She sensed it, Talia kind of didn’t want to see this match through any longer.

Though she didn’t know what the reason was, Huberian wouldn’t ask more questions when it might bother someone else.

“Okay, I’ll meet you at home for dinner.”

Talia nodded, letting go of Huberian’s hand and standing up to leave down the walkway at a quick pace.

Watching Talia’s figure disappear, Huberian let out a breath, again as if relieved and sighing.

“If only I had a mom like that growing up ……”

Huberian lowered her lashes and murmured silently.

With that, Huberian shook her head and looked once again at the stage where the battle was taking place.

On the cold battle square, the iron armor of the Demon King Army’s killing unit made a clicking sound, and a lean fighter suddenly erupted with astonishing speed, his body instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning, and his whole body’s muscles triggered a huge force in his movements, as if he was going to fly straight over to bury his enemy with the strongest kick.

But the sawtooth broadsword in the Demon King Army’s hand had already met him, he wasn’t trying to block with his weapon, but rather, he received the kick hard, at the same time the fighter’s chest was torn by the sawtooth, the temperature of the bright red flesh and blood was instantly taken away by the cold wind.

On the other side of the square, two Demon King Army surrounded a fighter who fell alone in the process of constantly retreating, he tried to dodge in fear, but the heavy giant axe and the scythe of the God of Death, unavoidable left and right slashed at his waist, blood splattered, and his internal organs were almost separated from his body, and the powerful impact made his lumbar vertebrae not know if it was directly shattered or not.

As the mist of blood filled the air, the audience could clearly see that every attack of the Demon King’s army was carving the art of fear, not only for the sake of victory, but also enjoying the process of killing, as if it was the only way to burn hot their chaotic eyes and fill up their hearts which had been empty for a long time.

Those five Ichorite fighters transformed by Ranch had no sense of pain, all that was left was the battle command to kill.

Their serrated broadswords and huge axes traced a bright red arc in the air, and whenever they fell, there was always a fighter who screamed miserably or was lifted off the ground.

The white battle square had long since been dyed a blood-red color, crimson bloodstains constantly being rubbed and spread on the marble floor tiles.

“No, don’t come over!”

A fighter, whose calves had been twisted and flooded with tears of fear, sat on the ground and kept backing up, striking the Demon King’s army in front of him with all his might, yet it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, the butcher who was getting closer and closer, with only that kind of disdain for life and morbid infatuation with carnage in his eyes.

Next, the chilling sound of rupturing organs echoed.

After more than ten minutes of fighting, the fighters of the Kingdom of Yaloran fell one by one, their bloodstained weapons emitting a grim hue in the dim natural light.

At this point, the entire arena had become silent, except for the four fighters who had fainted to death, there was still only one last Kusei left, being approached by five demons.

Even though every member of the Ichorite Academy’s Team of Fighters was already carrying heavy wounds on their bodies, their smiles were more than satisfied.

“Finally only you are left then ……”

The vice leader let out an abyssal beast-like bass voice.

As for the other few members, it seemed like the purpose of coming here was to kill Cuse from the start, even if killing him a thousand times ten thousand times wasn’t enough.

It was as if this hatred was on the verge of turning into love, a single-minded desire to see him, to be close to him, the only way to find the answer that would allow them to be satisfied was from him.

“Why don’t you fall down!!!”

For the first time in his own unintelligible roar, Cuse began to back away.

It was a muscle action that came from instinct.

It wasn’t like he hadn’t knocked these guys down in the fight earlier.

But they would still stand up again even if their bones were broken!
He had never seen such terrifying creatures.

Even though it seemed that the blood-covered Kuse still had a fighting chance at the moment, facing five zombie-like, undead, crazy Demons alone in a playful siege, he finally felt terror.

With this kind of aura, he already didn’t want to tough it out with this group of mad dogs anymore.

However, in full view of tens of thousands of people, if he, who had put down his vicious words, just surrendered to a few weaklings that he despised the most, it would be even worse than killing him!
“Do you know how many times I have been killed by you ……”

“You must die here today ……”

“I’ll never let you hurt Zirviny again ……”

Their heads shook and their face muscles twisted as they muttered to themselves, their scarlet eyes the only thing they couldn’t stop staring at was Cuse.

The group of beings in front of them mumbled inexplicable words like after being viciously brainwashed.

“What the hell are you guys talking about?!” Watching this, Cuse finally shouted in horror.

He hadn’t done anything to Zirviny at all!

At this time even Luvihill on the commentary table didn’t know what to comment on.

Huberian instantly rolled over and jumped down from the spectator stands and ran to sit next to Ranch on the coach’s bench.

The problem was much more serious than she had imagined!
Originally, the staff noticed that a spectator had jumped down, and hurriedly prepared to come over and stop it, but when they saw Ranch raise his hand to signal that it was someone from their coaching staff, the staff soon nodded and stopped their pace as well.

“Hubert Leanne, I promise I’ll get you unstuck today.”

Rancic said with a smug grin as he noticed Huberian coming forward and looked over at her.

“Ranch, what the hell have you been making them do for the past two days?”

Huberian asked, eyeing Ranch nervously.

Though she was a little surprised that Ranch would admit that he was fighting for this win to protect her, rather than finding some other grand excuse, she was now incredibly worried that Ranch had already done something that had gone too far.

Huberian felt that this Ranch, who understood the heart of victory and defeat, was becoming even more abnormal at the moment.

It was as if no one could escape his hypnosis just by meeting these emerald green eyes of his, and he would make mankind fall into a deep, bottomless frenzy and willingly give everything to him ……

“I had Professor Pollao magically alter a horror-themed single-player version of the Artificial Shadow world for me, changing the death-forced-exit setting to – when they die they’ll be resurrected at a certain point in time to continue repeating the story until they pass the level.”

Ranch replied as he leaned back against the bench and gazed towards the battle square, his arms crossed with his fingers resting leisurely on his lap.

“And then what?”

“Then I set up a few people from the Yaloran King’s Rising Academy Cuse as villains, and set up the female protagonist to look exactly like Zirviny, sent each of the five members of the Fighter’s Souls into the Single Shadow World, and personalized the tragic storyline that they would have the hardest time accepting based on their personalities.”

“……”

Huberian only dared to listen and not speak anymore.

“This group of fighters witnessed the brutal murder of Zirviny over and over again in the unreal yet real world, and they too cycled endlessly between death and resurrection, and whenever they broke down with the greatest despair, the Great Poet of Love appeared as a goddess, gently detailing the mistakes and sins they had committed during the week’s events and sending them to start anew. ”

Ranch continued to narrate to Huberian.

“You have the Great Love Poet …… as a goddess?”

Huberian gulped.

“Yes, I told her to let go and have fun with the word therapy.”

“No. ……”

Huberian covered her head.

She couldn’t very well describe how it was a sin-filled game of soul torture.

But it was a magic box she had opened with her own hands.

“It’s not over yet.”

Ranch shook his head.

What the members of the Fighter’s Soul team didn’t realize was that Ranch, as the administrator of the Control Hub, sometimes stepped down to play the part of a character, artificially creating tragedies that caused them to feel either extreme fear or extreme anger as a way to guide them.

The story ends with the challenger victorious, but the companions who have formed the bond will surely die, including the inevitable death of Zirviny because of the challenger.

But whenever one of the challenger’s companions has any hope of surviving to the grand finale, Ranch will personally go down and manipulate him into extinction.

“I’m mostly highlighting a sense of fatalism, and every time I show them a little bit of hope, I’m snuffing it out at the moment when they think things are about to start looking up, making them understand the fact that fate is hard to be changed. When they return to the present, they’ll feel as if they’re waking up from a dream, but they’ll also realize that the gears of destiny are forcibly turning again, and they, in turn, have one last chance.”

Ranch finished telling Huberian about his special training schedule for the next two days.

In the end, after more than thirty hours of special training, the five fighters successfully walked out of this Ranch-controlled artificial shadow world.

Their mental outlook had also undergone a drastic change.

“You ……”

Huberian’s eyelids fluttered wildly, and she hastily looked at the battle square again.

These five fighters had been engraved in the Shadow World for so long in the immersive experience, afraid that they had long been unable to distinguish between the real and the fake, at least witnessed hundreds of times the image of Zilvieni being killed by Kuse, and now there was probably nothing else in their minds but wanting to kill Kuse.

She didn’t dare to imagine what these five fighters were going to do to Cuse next!
