Chapter 60 Two Beasts, One Man; Hopeless!
Chapter 60 Two Beasts, One Man; Hopeless!
Once he finished drinking the Avatar Flasks, Raven opened the magic panel related to the Special Event and wished to join it.
[Congratulations! You have successfully joined the Special Event: Blue Realm Invasion!]
[Now you will be granted 5 random Avatar Flasks!]
Whoosh!
Lowering his hands that held the now two empty bottles, Raven closed his eyes and remained motionless, enjoying the gentle breeze that crashed against his face and whole body. He completely ignored how five bottles materialized out of nowhere, each hovering in empty air just a few inches away from his face.
"Sigh..." filling his lungs with fresh air, Raven opened his eyes and exhaled slowly, the corner of his lips slowly curving upward into a satisfied grin.
He didn't know what happened to him, but whatever it was, it no longer haunted him like a curse. Now he felt as if he had been reborn, living in a completely new body!
It was almost akin to getting his redemption after several years of torture with the only exception that it all happened just in a few hours.
After his eyes were fully open, Raven looked at the floating flasks before his face and grabbed each of them.

"2 Constitution, 1 Mystique, 1 Strength, and 1 Dexterity." Raven talked calmly and quickly used his Collector's Glove on each flask before drinking them.
============
° Vitality: 20 [0]
° Mystique: 36 [5]
° Strength: 41 [0]
° Speed: 63 [6]
° Constitution: 56 [6]
° Dexterity: 35 [0]
============
Looking at his current Traits Raven smiled with satisfaction. Except for his Vitality, all of his Avatar Traits were above 30 points, two even breaking the 50 mark by a huge margin!
Though he knew perfectly well how those points meant nothing, and in truth, he was way stronger than an average Rank 5 being. Hell, even his Rank 6 Speed was akin to someone who reached Rank 9 or perhaps even Rank 10!
"I should start practicing again and gain more strength, but before that, I should try and see just how strong I have become," Raven mumbled, and his gaze was slowly directed at the large hotel in the distance.
It was about two weeks since he had entered that building where those two large snakes lurked, waiting for oblivious prey to fall into their territory.
Naturally, while he had been practicing with Kayn, he saw how Thomas ordered some recruits to enter the building and explore it without touching the shards. It went without saying that Dan wished them to be collected by him and his Relic.
However, whenever a team walked inside, when they left a few always went missing while the rest sustained smaller or bigger injuries. Also, their faces held the same expression; true horror and hopelessness!
'Those recruits had an average strength of a Rank 3. With my current strength, I am pretty sure I can fight those beasts.' Raven thought in his heart, imagining how his fist would blast the head of both snakes with a single punch.
'But just to be sure, I will use my Artifact. After all, normal weapons are not effective on those bastards, or at least that's what Thomas told me.'
With that in mind, Raven took out his Artifact from his pocket and after looking at it for a few seconds he threw it, watching as it landed on two stars and changed into a small item.
-------------------------
[Relic: Revenant Claws]
• Grade: Epic
• Form: Advanced
• Description: A lethal weapon that can allow the wearer to slice through even metal!
<In exchange for 1,000 units of Mystique special ability [Shaprness] will be activated, increasing your slicing power drastically!>
<Cooldown: Ability [Sharpness] will be active for 5 seconds and can be reactivated right away!
--------------
When Raven read the Relic's name, he believed it would be a weapon similar to a glove but with sharp ends, but when his eyes fell on it, he was stupefied to see that it was, in fact, a metal shoe with a design that looked akin to a beast's terrifying paw!
"Can I even walk properly while I wear these?" Raven asked himself with a confused look and carefully placed both of them onto his feet.
"They are pretty comfortable. Not as much as those rabbit slippers, but at least not unbearable either." Raven mumbled as he jumped and even kicked a few times, seeing how hard it was to use them.
After practicing in them for a few minutes, Raven stopped and nodded, walking toward the massive building in the distance.
The inside of the building was the same. Old hotel hallways with plants, paintings, and antics hanging from the walls or simply placed on the side, various oversized rooms one could imagine, and floating shards that could be turned into items if touched.
Raven walked silently, following the path he once took in the past, and shortly after 30 minutes he finally reached the center with the small altar and the two giant snakes on both sides, seemingly sleeping.
'...Okay. Let's do this.' taking a deep breath, Raven lowered his posture slightly and once he was ready he activated his Relic's ability.
BAM!
The ground below Raven's feet exploded the very moment his body blurred and vanished while several meters away, right beside the white snake he appeared out of thin air, his right leg already raised high into te air.
"?!"
Sensing the immediate danger, the white beast snapped its eyes wide open and wished to dodge to save its life, but unfortunately, it was too late. Like a scythe falling from the sky, the moment Raven swung his leg downward the Relic sent five horizontal crescent arcs at the beast, instantly slicing its humungous body into five equal pieces!
"This... was easy." Raven felt surprised as he hoped the beast would be able to at least resist a little before it died.
His Relic cut through its hard skin almost as if it was a scissor slicing through a piece of paper!
'HIIISSSS!!!'
Suddenly, as Raven was marveling over his strength, the hair on the back of his neck raised, forcing him to jump to the side and watch as the spot where he stood a moment ago now exploded as the black snake crashed on it from above!
It tried to swallow him just like it did during their first encounter!
"Try and swallow this!" Raven spoke coldly and swung his fist, every muscle within his body bulging scarcely before exploding with strength that in the past would have been impossible to achieve!
BOOOOM!
With a blast that was akin to a bomb detonating, when Raven's fist came into contact with the beast's humungous face its head exploded like a watermelon under massive pressure!
Just like that, the two beasts that so far were considered immortal gods were killed by him, with two simple attacks at that!
[Congratulations! You have been eligible to earn a new Avatar Title: Beast Slayer!]
