Chapter 173 A Gamble Against Death

Fiona looked at the panic on Steven’s face

Her heart sank.

She had failed.

A bitter feeling spread through her chest.

040

Steven was only a One–Sigil Awakened, yet he could kill a Level 2 beast. But she, a Level 22 Three–Sigil Divine Adept, had lost.

How ridiculous.

It turned out she was nothing but a joke.

This was the SS–rank Divine Sigil she had always been proud of…

Steven turned toward the Carrion Beast.

More than a dozen deep wounds covered its body. Blood poured from the cuts. Even the flesh on its head had been ripped open, yet it still stood strong.

Worse, it was eating the corpses of other beasts..

Its wounds were healing right in front of them.

Steven’s face darkened.

He could not let it recover.

“S–Steven…”

Steven looked at Fiona in confusion.

Her face was pale.

“Am… am I really… that stupid?”

Steven went silent for a moment.

“You’re not stupid. Not at all.”

But inside, he sighed. You’re not stupid. You’re stubborn. I told you a hundred times already Save your strength!

Still, he did not want to crush her confidence right now

He gripped his spear and shot forward again

More beasts were charging toward them.

Chapter 173 Gamble Agamsi Death

Luckily, Nicole’s long–range support finally arrived from above. Her sniper fire instantly took down several

beasts.

Steven said nothing and rushed straight at the Carrion Beast.

“You ugly freak! Die!”

His eyes turned red with rage.

Fiona was his teammate. That meant he had to avenge her.

Golden light gathered around the tip of his spear.

He swung hard at the Carrion Beast’s head.

The beast raised a giant claw to block.

ts crimson eyes showed clear intelligence now.

And cruelty.

Bang!

The spear slammed into the claw, but the Carrion Beast clearly looked down on Steven’s strength.

ts tail whipped toward him like lightning.

Mid–level beasts were far smarter than the Man–Faced Scorpions.

A sharp light flashed in Steven’s eyes.

Jsing the force from his spear pressing against the claw, he launched himself into the air.

The tail barely scraped under his boots.

Steven frowned inwardly.

A Level 2 beast like this was beyond him.

T

This thing was dangerously close to evolving into a Level 3 beast.

The gap in strength was too big.

Fiona could fight it because her raw power was much higher than his

Steven floated in the air and looked down.

The Carrion Beast stared back up at him

Cold light flashed in Steven’s eyes.

Chapter 178 Gamble Againci Death

“Kid! Don’t do anything reckless!” Peter shouted.

But Steven ignored him

No pain, no gain.

He poured all of the golden power into his spear.

He roared, “Go to hell!”

In an instant, he exploded forward.

‘Steven! Don’t risk it!”

‘Steven!”

Olivia and Darlene both shouted through the comms. The other teammates were shocked too.

But Steven had already charged forward.

At that moment, the spear in his hands became blindingly bright.

Back at command, Olivia and Peter stared at the screen in shock.

Golden light!?

The instant Steven rushed forward, the Carrion Beast felt the terrifying aura coming from that golden ight.

For the first time, it sensed death was close.

ROAR!

The beast bellowed furiously.

Its massive back legs slammed into the ground, shattering the pavement and sending water and rocks flying everywhere as it charged at Steven.

Its razor–sharp claws closed together, glowing with deadly light.

Then they slashed toward him.

In that instant, Steven threw himself straight into the monster’s Jaws.
