<div> "That would cost you 500 coins."
 This was Alex's reply, and listening to it made Lokesh's head go blank for a second. That guy wanted a coin for killing him? Was he that petty?
 Looking into Alex's cold eyes, however, gave him the answer to his questions. He wasn't being petty; he was just being a normal human who lived in an apocalyptic world.
 So, he just sighed and let Alex do whatever he wanted. He just accepted his fate—he was going to die in pain and not a quick death.
 He didn't have coins on his, after all.
 Right now, however, when he knew that his death was near, he was getting used to the pain, telling the two men about what had happened.
 "If what you said is the truth, then where is the beast that died?"
 One of them, after listening to his story, questioned with a frown as he didn't see any beast close to the bush, but Lokesh, listening to his question, just chuckled.
 "Walk down the path for about 20 steps and see the 'proof' you guys had been asking for."
 He replied, pointing in a certain direction, making the two men exchange another look of doubt before they walked forward, freezing in shock and disbelief the moment they reached the designated spot.
 'W-WHAT THE HELL?!'
 There were 100s of beasts' corpses pilled up together as if put on display. It was as if Alex had...

 </div> "He was putting them up for display. He wanted to let you guys see it clearly."
 Lokesh's voice cleared their doubt, causing their gaze to tremble, as this revelation was now going to change many things.
 It took them around 4 to 5 minutes to get here, and Alex, who was already done with the beast in 2 minutes, had enough time to put up a display for them. He was fighting, but that didn't mean he was unaware of the ongoing situation, especially with him listening to the gods' messages.
 He knew what was going on, and he knew that it was one big misunderstanding, but as it was going on, all he could see was profit from it, so he played along.
 But playing along didn't mean that he would wait for them to arrive, welcome them, and explain why or what he was doing. He was going to keep doing what he was doing and let the things cook on their own.
 He was only going to interfere when it was time to reap the rewards or time to destroy the course of events in case things deviated from the path they were going on.
 *Thud* X2
 The two men, on the other hand, tumbled backward, falling to the ground as their eyes finally took in the surroundings, burning with light purple flames, and the charred smell of the beasts' charred flesh also burned their nose pores.
 "Grrr..."
 What terrified them, however, was the fact that they could still see some beasts among the pile of corpses alive, trembling in pain as they kept spewing blood, ready to die any second.
 Those beasts' eyes stared at them, still fierce as ever, almost scaring the shit out of them, but as they looked at the beasts closely, they discovered that those beasts couldn't move for some reason, making the guys exchange a look of uncertainty before they stepped toward the beasts, their respective weapons appearing in their hands.
 Those beasts were at least level 30, and if they could kill them, just one of them would give them 90 to 100 coins, which, although not much, was still enough to help one person survive a day.
 "Krrr..."
 <div style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:10px;text-align:center">
 <div></div>
 </div> So, ignoring the beasts' growls filled with warning, they moved closer to them, and with their weapons, they punctured the beasts' heads, earning themselves some coins.
 *Slickch**Squelch*...
 The sick sound of flesh and bones being pierced echoed through the air, cutting off the beasts' growls as the two humans kept killing the beasts that Alex had intentionally left alive.
 It was due to their membranes being burned that those two guys could even kill the beasts, but they didn't need to know that. All they needed to know was that they were able to get the kills and coins thanks to Alex, and he really was killing the beasts, protecting them in the process.
 Their only job was to deliver the message to others.
 Lokesh, however, hoped that at least these two guys, unlike Alex, would give him the peace of death he so wanted right now. The hope of surviving or calling for help was not even coming to his mind, as he knew that with how he was, even if he did live, it wouldn't be for long.
 Will they kill him or not was something for time to tell...
 For now, the most important thing was getting everyone the news about Alex.
 Alex, on the other hand, was still battling the horde of beasts. One has to know that the number of beasts that were getting spawned from the safe zone was the total number of beasts within the surrounding 300-kilometer radius.
 In this 300-kilometer radius, there were at least 300 zones, and each zone had at least 20 beasts, making it 6000 beasts at the very least. Even among them, there were higher and lower-level beasts; to kill all of them, Alex would need at least 5 to 6 hours, that is, if he could use all of his abilities and leave nothing out.
 He would be totally spent after that, not in a position to fight anyone after that. It mainly depended on the level of the beasts he was fighting. If they were low-leveled, then he would probably not need to use that much effort, just drag the fight out, and he would be able to win the match.
 If the beasts were high-leveled, around 30 to 40, then things wouldn't be that smooth. No, if his opponents were hundreds or a thousand such beasts, then he wouldn't even be able to win.
 He wasn't an invincible god or something like that. He had his limits as well, and even if he could kill all of them if they gang up on him, he would eventually run out of mana. The moment he did would be the moment he lost.
 So right now, as he fought against the beasts, he kept moving, mostly focusing on dodging and recovering mana. He was using the beasts' attack to kill other beasts.

 </div> He fought battles one after another since the number of beasts increased the deeper he went. They kept getting stronger as well, making it harder for him, so he knew that like this, he wouldn't get to the safe zone, but it was fine. He was able to rope in a lot of coins—a lot more than he could get normally by raiding the zones.
 He could still not test how much he had improved since the beasts he was facing weren't bosses, but he was getting the basic idea of his growth since the beasts' level was now reaching close to 40.
 He was sure that he would soon face beasts with level 40 stats, and he was waiting for just that. Fighting against them, he would be able to determine the difference better.
 There was this thing he wanted to do though: fight with a demonic beast at level 40. But he wasn't sure if he would get to face such a beast. The demonic beasts were stronger than normal beasts, after all. He wanted to see how he would fare against a demonic beast with a level equal to his.
 He kept fighting, killing, and slaughtering the beasts, having no time to take a breather, as the moment he decided to rest, wanting to recover some stamina, another wave of beasts would just march at him.
 The number of times he had used stamina heal had already reached twice, and once he used that, he had to keep dodging the attacks so that he could recover the mana that was burned to fill up his stamina. That was why, just when he was about 100 or 200 meters away from the safe zone, the one-hour limit was used up.
 *Woop*
 All of the beasts that kept Alex bound for so long, making it hard for him to reach the safe zone, vanished in an instant. It was so fast that Alex couldn't even blink his eyes.
 'Hah... now I need to start it all over again...'
 Alex, left alone with his chakram flying around, ready to kill the remaining beasts, could do nothing but sigh in resignation.
 He had to go to the next safe zone now. And even though he knew that there was nothing he could get from reaching it, he now had to reach the safe zone no matter what.
 What he didn't know was the changes that were happening all over his area. He didn't have time to open his world chat, but now, as he sighed repeatedly, rushing toward the next safe zone, he also checked the chats, his eyes widening in surprise as he realized something—he realized that he just might achieve the goal he wanted to.</div>
