Fallen Fate Online

Chapter 184 Fear Of Death



After successfully defeating Royal Warder, Zayne did not leave Spider Nest. He continued on his way, heading straight toward the center, since he still needed a few kills to unleash the full power of his sword.

He moved forward, cutting through the spiders in his path, gradually approaching his goal, which was already practically in front of him. He\'s only got a little bit left.

"Agh... Agh... Agh..." Zayne breathed heavily, his coat covered in the blue blood of insects, dozens of which he had already destroyed on his way, however, he still needed a little more.

He headed toward the end of the cave, reaching the edge where he overlooked a wide space, most of which was covered in cobwebs. Several spiders headed immediately toward Zayne, whose gaze was fixed on the massive creature in the center.

This spider was much larger than the Royal Warder, it was completely black with a red spot underneath, as if it were the most dangerous thing in all of Spider Nest.

Zayne knew at once that it was the Spider Queen, and its defenders had already surrounded Zayne, about to attack in the next second.

\'Fine, I finally made it to the end!\' Zayne inwardly exclaimed joyfully, as his sword was covered in blue energy, becoming much stronger. Even though there was no moon here, the magical damage gave Zayne new powers.

He jumped back before the spiders\' jaws should have closed, then he lunged forward, swinging his sword, which glowed brightly with purple light.

There was nothing the spiders could do, Zayne just slayed them apart, with such ease, as if his sword had gone through paper, he didn\'t even have to strain for it.

\'Ah... I need one more...? Well, that\'s no problem!\' Zayne glanced at the remaining spider that had managed to get away, then he lunged straight at it.

"Snizh!!!" The spider hissed, launching a blob of venom at Zayne, but, Zayne just cut it in two and with anticipation of a new skill, plunged his sword blade right into the spider\'s head.

The blood gushed out as the spider\'s life ended. Zayne quickly drew his sword with glowing eyes staring at the blade, but, what he expected didn\'t happen.

"Agh...? Did I do something wrong?" Zayne was puzzled.

Progress: 0/1

You have gathered enough energy, so the spirit is almost ready to awaken, but to do so you need a powerful impulse that will make the spirit unleash the full power of the sword].

Zayne stared at his sword for a while, then his eyes went wide, and he turned to the Spider Queen. 

"I see... One strong opponent is always more important than many weak ones, isn\'t it? Well... Given that I have no antidote, I might actually die." Zayne muttered, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly and taking a step, ready to rush into battle.

However, just before he was about to jump off the cliff, his eyes went wide, and a chill went down his spine at the realization of how he felt about death.

\'Wait... After I got the Chaos Coin, my wounds began to transfer from Fallen Fate to the real world... but, what happens if I die now?\' Zayne gulped, as for a moment, there was fear in his eyes.

He could have fought anyone if he was sure that after that, he would simply respawn and receive a small penalty, however, he, like any human, was not ready to die.

Zayne began to breathe heavily as he leaned against the wall, pressing his palm to it and feeling the cold stone.

For the first time since the fight against Enar, Zayne felt fear, he had already forgotten what it was like, and he didn\'t want to take it.

"Fuck it!" Zayne exclaimed furiously, bringing his fist down on the wall, clenching his teeth hard with anger at himself.

"Agh... That was stupid..." Zayne took a deep breath, returning to his senses, "I\'m already here, so I have to keep going. If I run away now I\'ll never be able to defeat someone as strong as Selania again... it would just be the end for me, moreover, I don\'t know exactly how it all works, it\'s quite possible I\'m wrong."

Zayne shook his head, glared at the Spider Queen, and jumped off the cliff, entering the arena. The Spider Queen had not been paying any attention to him the whole time, but, as soon as Zayne\'s feet touched the ground, her ten green eyes turned directly toward him.

[You ran into the Spider Queen!]

[Your reaction time was greatly reduced!]

[Your resistance to poison has been reduced by 70%!]

[Any poison that enters your body will have an extra 50% power!]

Zayne gulped, all of these debuffs literally meant that if Zayne received even one attack from the Spider Queen, it would be like dying.

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The Spider Queen slowly descended from the thread, gradually approaching Zayne. Her six paws with sharp tips left holes in the ground while her jaws rattled eerily, echoing a terrifying sound.

Zayne quickly realized what he had to do in such a situation, since it would be over after the first failure, he could lower his health to even one percent.

Crackle. Crackle. Crackle.

Suddenly a multitude of wounds opened on his body from which blood gushed out, it happened twice, as dozens of bleeding cuts appeared one after another, causing his health to drop below 30%.

[Wild Metamorphosis - The Title effect has been activated! All of your stats were increased by 33%!]

Given that Zayne had applied Sacrificial Path twice in a row, all of his Stats were now over 100, which means that technically, now, he had reached First Ring in every Stats.

[Ding!]

[You are the first to receive the Five First Rings!]

[You have achieved the Special Title of Lord of the Rings!]

[Lord of the Rings (Special)]

Because of all the trials you have gone through and the unique circumstances you are the first to achieve the Five Rings at once. This makes your body overflowing with power and be in a certain balance as each of your stat is roughly equal to the other.

Gained Passive Skill - "Sense of Balance."

Sense of Balance: You have an excellent sense of your body and every movement as if you had trained it for decades without a break].

The description of the skill was simple, but as soon as It appeared a golden glint flashed among Zayne\'s blue eyes, and he felt an incredible lightness as if before there was a whole mountain on his shoulders whose weight he had to carry with every step.

\'It\'s incredible... It feels like something has been holding me back all this time, but now... It\'s different!\' Zayne inwardly exclaimed as the Spider Queen appeared before him.

Two sharp tips headed toward Zayne, but he easily dodged them by taking a simple step backward, just enough so the Spider Queen\'s legs would pass right in front of his chest.

A wide smile appeared on Zayne\'s face as he was genuinely delighted by the new power that suddenly appeared to him.
