The intelligent zombie put more strength into his hands.

The black wolf screamed in pain.

Schwarz grit his teeth in anger.

At the same time, he could taste the metallic taste of blood in his mouth. 

“Don’t mind me, chief .”

“You will remain silent! I will not allow you to kill yourself!”

Schwarz stopped the black wolf who tried to manipulate the shadows and tried to kill itself.

“ You’re getting really weak. The wolf kings of the past never had packs. This is why. You alone could have killed me, even if it was me no, . Even if you are the strongest, your companions are not. They are slow and useless. Hah, pathetic.”

The intelligent zombie smiled crookedly at the disappointment and the fact that it had gotten what it wanted.

“Well, I could have controlled you without using your friends as shields.”

With his free hand, the intelligent zombie pulled something out of his pocket.

The moment Schwarz saw it, his complexion changed.

“You ! Why do you have that?”

“It’s because of my collaborator. Fufu, do you now understand ‘Wolf King’? You didn’t have a choice in the matter.”

T/N: It’s Randall 10/10! With the previous chapter and the flags raised by Kazuto, it has to be him! 

Schwarz grit his teeth.

“But don’t worry. My goal is not that different from yours. I just need you to match the timing to ‘ours’.”

“Timing .?

“Yes, that’s right. You want to fight, don’t you? You want to fight the owner of ‘Precocious’. Then fight with us. If we join forces, if you, the ‘Wolf King’, and I, the ‘Pride’, and they, the ‘Sentinels’, join forces, all their plans will fall apart.”

It is everyone’s equal right to struggle for survival.

But at the same time, nightmares and bad luck also befall upon everyone equally.

The two disasters, which were never supposed to team up, have joined forces and are about to engulf Kazuto and his friends in an uncontrollable storm.

CH 220

It’s been about two weeks since I started training with Rebel.

“Look, look, look, you’re still reacting too slowly!”

“ ! This”

I’ve managed to dodge her magical attacks somehow.

But it’s just dodging.

I was surprised by the sheer number of attacks, including fire and ice bullets, lightning arrows, and muddy bogs that stopped me in my tracks.

(There is no opening to attack )

I was able to get close to her a few times, but her physical strength was better than mine. I was quickly subdued and the spar ended quickly.

“Wau!”

Momo and Sora launch a pincer attack from the ground and the air.

The shadows attacked from the ground, and Sora’s breath attacked from the sky.

“Useless, useless, useless!”

However, with a shout from Rebel, she repelled Momo’s shadows and flicked away Sora’s breath.

“Oh, that’s what I’m talking about, now that’s an attack.”

In that split second, Ichinose sniped from a distance, but I don’t know what kind of reflexes she had, Rebel managed to avoid that too.

How did she manage to avoid that?

“I’m faster than a bullet.”

Rebel had appeared behind me in the blink of an eye, and I hadn’t even noticed her.

Actually, could you please not read my thoughts so easily?

“Gah ”

I was struck in the head with a cane and fainted.

Experience gained.≫ Kudou Kazuto’s LV has been increased from 26 to 27.≫ Skill Prediction increased from LV8 to LV9.≫

Just before I fainted, I heard a vague announcement in my head.

- I woke up to a familiar ceiling. 

“Ah, good morning, Kudou.”

“ Good morning, Ichinose.”

When I woke up, Ichinose was reading a manga in the corner of the room.

It was a manga about a hero who fought demons while riding on his motorcycle.

“How long was I unconscious?”

“About an hour.”

An hour 

That’s a lot less than the half a day I spent in bed the first time.

The time it takes to recover is also getting shorter.

“You can really increase your level just by fighting with Rebel huh.”

“Yes, even I was surprised at first.”

I was really surprised by this system.

We had always thought that the only way to gain experience to level up was by killing monsters, but apparently that wasn’t strictly true.

Killing monsters is not the only way to gain experience.

It seems that you can also gain experience by ‘just’ fighting monsters.

“But if you think about it, you’ve always done that, right?”

If you think about it, the same thing has happened to me when I’ve fought monsters before.

Even during the battles against Titan and Peony, all the people who participated in the fight received experience and their levels went up.

I hadn’t really thought about it, because I thought that the experience from the monsters we killed was just assigned to the participants, but it seems that the system of gaining experience is more complicated than I thought.

“At any rate, since we can level up without fighting monsters, that’s even better.”

Ichinose smiled and began reading the manga again.

Is that . volume nine? I’ll ask her if I can borrow it later 

At any rate, this situation where we can level up safely is a blessing in disguise for us.

(However, this is only possible because we’re facing Rebel.)

You can gain experience just by fighting.

But the experience is much less efficient than when you kill monsters.

According to Rebel, “You can get more experience by killing one goblin than by fighting a hundred goblins.”

So, this is only possible right now because she has a far higher rank than us.

(Rebel said “at the very least”. She’s probably not going to keep doing this for six months.)

Once our levels hit a ceiling, we will move on to the next training.

Well, right now I’m still getting beaten up and knocked out every time.

I can’t stop shivering now, wondering what kind of training is waiting for us after this.

“Speaking of which, where are Nishino and Asaka?”

“Um, Nishino fainted, so he’s already been taken away. Ricchan is still training with Rebel.”

“You’re tough, Aisaka ”

“Yes yes. These days, Ricchan’s level has been increasing at an incredible rate. She said she will be level 10 soon.”

“That’s amazing ”

No, it’s really great.

If I’m not careful, I might be overtaken in the next six months.

She’s been the most enthusiastic about training since she got used to Rebel’s intimidation.

“It’s just that she complains that her clothes get tattered after every training session.”

“Ah . That sure is .”

Rikka-chan’s fighting style is close combat, full of blood and gore.

It is also a style of combat that uses the demon’s unique skill of ‘Blood Art’ to strengthen the user’s body and weapons to plough through the enemy with brute strength.

The reinforced hatchet is able to even deflect Rebel’s magic if it’s not too powerful, but the aftermath of that is that her clothes are usually ripped to shreds.

(Rebel said that as the level of the ‘Blood Art’ increases, the chances of clothes being blown off will also decrease .)

In other words, until then, her clothes will keep on ripping every time.

I’m sure Rikka-chan didn’t seem to mind at all, but I wish she would consider mine and Nishino’s situation.

Because it jiggles, you know? It’s very exciting.

To be honest, it’s very stimulating. Thank you very much.

“ Muu–“

“ Wha, What is it, Ichinose?”

“I think Kudou was just thinking about something indecent. Are Ricchan’s boobs that attractive?
