“EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!” Jackpot screeched!

“The hell…!” Skullius exclaimed. Another monster with stats that didn’t match its level!

It even had a blue core!

And that luck stat! It was ridiculous!

934!

Did this guy harvest luck on Mondays?!

Skullius couldn’t believe it. The unfairness!

This was cheating!

Jackpot didn’t care if he was cheating on not though, as when Skullius felt the overbearing force from this giant, he was already screwed.

The same was true for Red Rage as he had also been caught in the miraculous ridiculousness that was about to follow!

[You have encountered Cluster General, ‘Jackpot’]

[‘Jackpot’ has used ‘ Divine Coincidence’. For the next 5 minutes you will be exposed to truly unfortunate circumstances]

“Bro! Come on!” Skullius barked as he retreated, Red Rage taking a step forward as he conjured the [Brilliant Boar Balance Buckler]!

The gold and black buckler with an exquisite carving of a boar’s features appeared to intercept the raging gremlin but…

It just so happened, that one of the trees within the cave-like structure grew a hollow from being pummelled by a sharp rock that flew during the fight with the Lucky Strike gremlins before and spilt a rather slippery paste that Jackpot used to slide on, adding onto his velocity as he sped so far so quickly!

It just so happened that Red Rage was caught off guard as when he tried to raise his shield higher to accommodate the blow, the giant gremlin swung forcefully with its long and thick arms, swatting him away like a fly before the shield could reach!

Red Rage flew into the wall, shattering a few of the branches from the twisting trees!

Since the force came from the side, it couldn’t flow steadily from Red Rage’s body, into the ground and be neutralised!

Skullius vigilantly leapt back to give himself some more space to react!

However, it just so happened that one of the dead gremlins that had half its head blown off had its sharp teeth sticking out, Skullius’ foot landing on the sharp objects, his shoe giving way for eight of the teeth to sink into his cosmetic foot!

Skullius stumbled but he didn’t feel any pain, thus he continued backtracking.

However, it just so happened that this gremlin which he had stepped on was a poisonous variant, Skullius feeling his leg quiver on its own as the poison secreted by the dead gremlin’s teeth already took action!

“The flesh?!” Skullius cursed while falling over, pulling up his pant leg to see that from his foot upwards, the skin colouration turned as pale as a sheet.

‘What kind of…. Bro… WHAT! Is this poison?!’ Skullius asked himself as he sweated.

The keen eyes of the large Jackpot Gremlin told him that it was well aware of what it was causing!

It was doing this consciously!

Unlike the Lucky Strike gremlins, Jackpot could utilise this natural luck willing in skills that allowed him to shape it however he liked.

Furthermore, with the glow of the hearts of the dead gremlins, Jackpot had gained their luck stats, which created for this outrages luck!

What kind of streak of conveniences was manifested by the skill [Divine Coincidence]? Well one could already see.

Jackpot pulled a large branch from one of the trees and swung it at Skullius with a staggering force that blew on the ground, rousing dirt and dust!

It just so happened that this thick branch was the thickest and largest from the tree, bearing a very hard and concentrated texture perfect for swatting ‘flies’, especially when dried!

Skullius couldn’t dodge but he didn’t wait for his death.

He summoned the Null Devil’s Aegis of Damnation to appear before him right before the impact!

FFFBOOOOM!

The wall jutted out gems and rock from the shockwave that ensued, bearing down the mana rich ground which collapsed!

It wouldn’t be accurate to say that Skullius managed to save himself from the intense attack, but for the most part, he was intact.

Depressions on his body that prompted for blood to spew from his mouth in large bursts as well as several bent out of the norm parts of his body could be seen when the large hunk of wood was raised as the Gremlin prepared to attack again!

‘Damn! That was intense!’ Skullius thought, thinking about whether he should really put on the armour… or rather hide in it.

That would help but the time to wear the armour was… insufficient.

But then…

“Oh…” Skullius yelped in glee as a realisation set in.

FOOOOO!

Air roared as the large branch came down once more, Skullius seeing the speeding figure of Red Rage come between him and the large branch before it hit!

Mana surged as Red Rage activated one of the exclusive skills from his new class, the Tempered Skull Hegemon!

[Tempered Armament of the Hegemon]!

Red Rage’s silver armour reflected a light blue polished sheen that burst with a radiant intensity from the Pelvis Boar-Man’s right hand which launched up to meet the branch!

BAAAM!

Chunks of wood flew as the branch exploded, overpowered by the blue brilliance of a skill that empowered what the Tempered Skull Hegemon used an attack.

Any medium of offense; weapon or fist!

~~~

[Tempered Armament of the Hegemon | Lv.1]

Any attack launched by the user is empowered by 35% and coated in a film of Null light, a subsidiary of Null Life Essence that temporarily keeps the weapon or body used from being broken down by the opposing force as long as it doesn’t exceed a certain level!

Mana Requirements: 550 Mana Points

Duration: —

Cooldown: 5 minutes

The Lucky Emperor Gremlin was shocked by the force as it was pushed back, Red Rage leaping forward as he jutted out his chest where the golden symbol on his chest released a golden light that formed into the head of a rather vicious looking, illusory golden boar with pointed tusks and bright luminescent eyes that torched the figure of Jackpot!

Red Rage’s figure shot forward with the activation of the skill, the tusks jabbing into Jackpot as could not avoid the attack after being staggered!

[Tusks of Justice]!

The head of the golden boar smashed into the wall with a tremendous force along with Jackpot, the entire cave starting to collapse!

Amidst this chaotic show of strength, Red Rage prepared to finish off Jackpot, but it just so happened that both of the tusks from his golden boar had missed Jackpot’s vitals, merely scrapping some flesh on one side while only puncturing the shoulder with the other!

Even as the tusks dug into the cave, demonstrating their immense strength by crumpling the hard Rock behind Jackpot, the gremlin was unfazed… for the most part… actually agitated as it then cocked its arm and punched at Red Rage’s chest where the golden boar protruded from!

It just so happened that Jackpot had a skill!

A Special one!

Mana churned from his blue core that hissed with a tremendous amount of mana!

[Critical Jackpot]!
