The Ancient Genes Chapter 554

Competition Ground, Capital.
A while ago….
"Get ready! Here it, comes!" Ren shouted and the next instant the group dispersed while the Commanding Beast opened its mouth to shoot another breath attack.
But half the way through, its mana fluctuated and the breath attack that it was charging, immediately dispersed into the air. It was clear that thing had run out of mana. It had exhausted itself after all the rampaging it had done and especially the fight with the Golem had taken a toll on it.
"Scree!!!!!"
The Commanding Beast had lost its wing and couldn't fly any longer but that didn't stop it. It got on all its four and chased after the people in a crazy state while letting out terrifying screeches. And it indeed was terrifying to have a towering figure like that come at you.
Ren was the first one to take out his sword and make a move even though he barely had anything left within him.
The Commanding Beast raised its claw and slammed it down on him.
"Bang!"
Ren's feet immediately sank in the ground and blood splashed out through his mouth but he had managed to held onto it.
"This thing is weak, attack!" He screamed with a laugh and as soon as people realized it, they made the move dropping down any of their earlier hesitation.
Wind, Ice, sand, thunder, fire, water…..
All kinds of spell rained down on the creatures and several weapons went towards it but it refused to go down. Even with its body bleeding, the commanding beast continued to attack in frenzy and it suddenly swept its tail and two people who were caught off guard were immediately eliminated.
"Someone stop its tail!" Ren shouted as he had taken the command.
Xenon and Arthur immediately moved and the next second sand and ice wrapped around the Commanding Beast's tail tying it to the ground.

When it realized that its tail had been tied down, the creature opened its mouth and let out a terrible sound wave attack in anger which busted out people's ear drums and even broke a two weaker people's bones sending them out.
"Somebody, close its goddamn mouth!" A person roared as his ears began to bled and he was really close to hitting his limit.
Mr. Cool frowned looking at the situation and he knew it would be a disaster if they allowed it to continue. He couldn't allow it to go any longer. And hence, he finally made a move.
"What are you going to do?" Lear who was on Mr. Cool's back frowned while holding his ears in pain when the guy suddenly began to run towards the Commanding beast.
"Just watch I will show you fight through my POV," Mr. Cool said with a smile as he endure the pain in his ears and took a leap jumping straight towards the mouth of the Commanding beast.
Lear's eyes dilated and his mouth opened wide as he saw himself getting closer to the Beast's mouth. Those teeth surely looked capable enough to tear his body and shred his bones.
"No!!!!!!!" He screamed when the two entered its mouth and he finally seemed to have realized what Zeld had felt a while earlier.
It was Karma indeed.
The Commanding Beast noticed the two pest flying into its mouth as well and it immediately tried to chomp them down but it was a bad move on its side.
And the a second later, it let out a terrible scream in pain and people were suddenly dumbfounded to see a huge pieced rock which was probably a part of the Golem's torso in its mouth.
Even if the Golem was dead and its body had lost mana enhancement, the rock was still tougher then most of thing available out there and couldn't be compare to any ordinary thing.

When the Blood Eating Bat chomped on it, it managed to crush it down but the process had let it with broken teeth and its mouth and tongues pierced all over the place. Its mouth immediately turned bloody and it continued to let out painful wails.
On the other side, Lear and Mr. Cool were standing near the Golem's body.
"How was it?" Mr. Cool suddenly asked with a smile which made Lear's face twitched. It was indeed terrifying but he wasn't going to tell him that. The guy was already acting very prideful and if Lear did anything like praising him, he was sure that he would reach the sky.
"It was no big deal, concentrated on that thing for now," Lear said as he nodded with a calm look.
"Really? Let me show you a few more tricks then," Mr. Cool said with a smirk which immediately turned Lear's face dark but before Lear could say anything the two were already behind the Commanding Beast with Mr. Cool making a move.
He suddenly took out the sword which had always been with him and entered in a stance.
Lear was really surprised at that. He honestly had thought that the thing was there just for show until now. After all, this guy really liked to show off. Not to mention, he had never seen him use a sword until now.
"Zmmn!"
Mr. Cool swung his sword in front of him slicing the thin air and this immediately made Lear frown. He couldn't understand what the guy was trying to achiever slashing in thin air.
But it wasn't over yet.
In front of Lear's widening eyes, a cut suddenly appear on the Beast's back and blood spewed out of it like fountain falling on Lear and Mr. Cool who were behind it.
"What is going on?" Lear was really confused.
"Just watch, I will show you why you shouldn't make an enemy out of me unless you are a beautiful girl," Mr. Cool said with a smile as he immediately let all his spirit energy out.
He had heard from Max that these people would find out if you are an awakened or not as long as you enter the competition circle but it seemed they couldn't tell if you are a chosen one simply based on it.
In that case, he didn't need to hold himself back.

8 63The Otherworldly Treasure Hunt
Vic, our protagonist is whisked away from the confines of his bedroom to the strange land of the Otherworld, by the whims of a mysterious being. All in the name of finding some cryptic 'Grand Treasure' except... he wasn't the only one kidnapped and nor are all of the inhabitants of the Otherworld paticularly friendly. So, while Vic has a lot of questions, we have to ask... Will he survive? Will he find some treasure? Will he really be able to get back home? ... Perhaps. =====Summary Over===== Yo, if you are reading this then (like me) you like to read pretty much anything, including some guy's random rambles. Well you could read this story if you want but what's the fun in that really? I'm pretty much writing this (my first) story on a whim so it is certainly not perfect nor is it likely to be good (but what do I know maybe I'm secretly talented). It also might have tons of tons of errors beacuse I'm dumb and sometimes it's just so boring to proof read and you just wanna send a chapter out y'know. Regardless, whether this story brings you the most euphoric delight or illicits the most intense abhorrence I wanna know what you think and how I can improve, reader person, especially if you read this far! ( please reveiw or something)

8 126Despite not Being a Hero, Saint, or Even a Demon King, I was Summoned
I was summoned to another world. Not as a Hero, not as a Saint, not even as a Demon King, but as a regular contract demon. You know, like the ones that come when you sacrifice a chicken or something on top of a magic circle. It's a bit weird, especially since I'm human, but I've just decided to go with the flow for now. Which apparently means becoming the employee of an item shop. (What's that? You want to know what cheat powers I've been given? Well, how about an inexhaustible source of mana substitute? ...Holy crap, I have an inexhaustible source of mana substitute.)
8 185Isekai trash story
You know why you clicked on a story with this title #anime is trash and so am I The main character dies of a heart attack and awakens in another world, alone and in a cave with the body of a newborn baby. However he also has increased mind based stats due to his memories, so expect a somewhat op start, but no where near all powerful for the world. There is no real plot, the main character is just trying to figure out what he can before something that already knows what it is doing manages to kill him first. I am not a writer full time and hiatuses could be short or very long depending on irl work and stuff. All content warnings are displayed because I may or may not decide to add them in later, the harem/sexual content will be much further in the story than what is there atm.
