The man's body froze as he felt something stepping on his foot. His body slowly fell to the ground with a thud. He hurriedly looks back to see what it is that caused him to fall. 

In that instant, what he saw made his body shiver. Cold sweats drenched his back as one thought surfaced on his mind. 

DEATH!

Croco's body was slowly falling towards him. The enraged Croco held the man's foot and let his body fall towards him. 

Croco called this attack as, 

Spiky Body Slam!

Bam!

A tremor was created as Croco's body slammed towards the man. His spikes instantly pierced the man's legs. He was truly enraged this time. He wouldn't let the man off the hook easily. 

The instant Croco realized that his spikes had already pierced the man's legs, he rapidly rolled his body and rolled the man's body like a rolling pin. 

His spikes pierced every part of the man's body. It did not take long for the man to experience death. 

After Croco got up from the ground, the man's body also fell from the spikes on his back. The man's body was laden with holes all over. It looks like a beehive with dozens of holes present on it. 

If a person with trypophobia saw the scene, they would surely faint from the disgusting clustered holes present on the man's body. 

Croco shook his body to get rid of the blood coating it. He turned around and glared at the last man standing who was shivering in fear. 

The last man was about to attack Croco at that time seeing that his weakness was already exposed, he didn't expect that his companion would die a tragic death due to that attack. 

Luckily, he managed to step back in time, or else, he thought that his outcome would not lose out to his companion's consequence. 

He gulped a mouthful of saliva as he stared at the man's body that was laden with holes like a beehive. He then suddenly clutched his arm that was cut off earlier. 

Previously, due to the heat of the moment, he didn't feel the pain of his arm getting cut off. However, right now, the adrenaline rush had already died down, the pain he felt on his cut arm was more than double. 

Perspiration was apparent on his forehead. If it was sweat that came from fear or pain, no one knows. 

He slowly turned his head to take a look at his companion who leads the carabao and its owner over. What he saw made him tongue-tied. 

That companion was actually kneeling to the ground, his forehead kissing the ground like it was the most valuable thing in the world. 

'Shameless!' The man thought.

He was still hoping that he could team up with him to struggle, however, seeing the scene, it seems that he could only swallow that plan.

His face was already drained of color, blood was still streaming off his cut arm like a mini fountain. 

In an instant, the man dropped his weapon to the ground and instantly kowtowed towards Nile. 

"Spare my lowly life, Master. I'm willing to be your errand boy, please just spare my life." 

Shameless? So what, as long as I can survive, being shameless doesn't deter me. 

Nile coldly glances at the man who also kneeled. He recalled that he was one of those who was adamant about taking Maximo. He won't even show mercy to the man beside him who didn't speak ill about Maximo earlier, how much more the shameless man?

"Kill him!" He coldly stated. 

In an instant, Croco arrived near the kneeling man. 

When the man heard Nile's cold voice, he instantly knew that his tactic had failed miserably. He was about to run and escape when he felt a cold sensation over his neck. 

In an instant, his surroundings darkened. His body then fell to the ground while his head rolled over a few feet away from his body. 

The man beside Nile took a slight peek and instantly shivered in fright. He silently prayed to all the gods may it baby Gods or old Gods, he prayed to them all without an exemption. 

'Spare me! Spare me! Spare me!'

Nile didn't notice the man's rumbling as he was already like that since the start. He felt it was normal.

"Come here Croc, you've done well this time!" Nile beckoned Croco who was licking on his belly wound to come over. 

He enjoyed Croco's fight this time, and he also noticed that Croco had more or less controlled his newfound strength right now. 

Using the System Store, Nile bought a jumbo lollipop with the innards flavor for Croco. It was another variant from the original as it could heal wounds and regenerate stamina or energy at the same time. It was slightly costly but its effect was worth it. 

Croco happily sucks the lollipop like a child as he laid beside Maximo. 

Maximo was jealous of Croco's reward but could only harrumph in silence. He thought that he would also receive the same if it was him who fought earlier. 

Nile noticed Maximo's emotion so he instantly consoled him. "Don't worry Max, you will be the one to fight next." 

Maximo's eyes instantly lit up. As if smokes were oozing from his nostrils, he alertly surveyed his surroundings in search of the enemy. 

"Relax, they will be here in a few moments." Nile chuckled and said as he glanced at the incoming group of people. 

He guessed that they were the reinforcement, there were six of them and all of them are level one. 

 He then glanced towards the man who has kneeling two meters away from them. His body was shivering and his beggar clothes were drenched in sweats. The ground was so wet that Nile instantly made a joke out of it.

"Oh, did it rain over your head?" He said with an amused expression. 

When the man heard Nile's voice, he instantly shivered. 

"Hahaha, that… that's too funny!"
