"First trial. Beast tide. Objective: Survive." Came a strange disembodied voice out of nowhere.

What else could I do?

I screamed.

"F*****************************CK!!!!!!" I screamed in horror at the sight of so many monsters charging out at me.

Half of my heart was coolly studying the way the monsters charged out of the portal and how they impacted the ground with their powerful clawed paws.

That particular half scoffed at the mere flesh and bone monsters, and was confident that they would pose no danger whatsoever to me and my mecha-grade physical enhancements.

However, the other hysterical half took in the frightful, frightful sight of thousands of long horned, three headed monsters charging out of nowhere towards me and being completely intent on killing me, and it went completely ballistic.

BA DUMP!!

BA DUMMPPP!!!!

BA DUMMPPPPPPP!!!!!

My heart started to pound frantically and sheer unadulterated energy coursed through my veins to provide my body with the strength it needed to unleash carnage upon the lands.

It would be good to note that the energy coursing through my veins at that moment was not red energy.

It was physical energy, plain and simple.

In frantic moments such as that particular moment I was experiencing, many people would react in many strange ways depending on their inherent mentality.

Some would cling to the miserable strand of hopeless hope of being able to run away from the monsters and start running, while others would despair and just collapse on the ground to await death's sharp teeth.historical

Still others, like me, would stake it all in a wild, crazy response.

My mind froze for a very short moment as the two halves collided before snapping and galvanizing my body to charge ahead to meet the damn monsters in battle!

"DAAAMNNN YOUUUUUU BASTAAAAARRDDDSSSS!!!!" I howled as I lowered my head slightly and sprinted forward!!

I slid my body in between the three horns of the first monster I reached and bodily shouldered it.

KABAMMMMM!!!!

The damned beast got its bones crushed and was flung away like a ragdoll!

"Nice! That's the fate of all you m**********rs!!!" I shouted and started to savagely attack all the monsters even as they lowered their heads and tried to pierce me with their horns.

I winced lightly as those fearsome horns poked at me. But I soon got over it when they failed to do absolutely anything to me.

I unleashed a series of karate chops and quickly broke several of the horns poking at me.

Crack! Crackkkkk!!!

And then without hesitation whatsoever, I plunged those horns into the eyes of the nearby beasts!

Stab! Stabb!!

Graaaaoooooooohhhhhh!!!

The beasts howled in pain. But their howls did nothing to dissuade the other beasts from charging forward.

Bam! Bam! Bam!!

I started releasing punches and kicks left and right to try and kill as many monsters as I could, and each time I attacked, the result would be a shower of flesh and blood as their bodies burst under my savage attacks.

As I waded through the massive monster tide, I began to subconsciously execute my fighting skills and allowed it to merge completely with my incredibly enhanced senses and reaction speed.

Bam! Bam! Bam!!

I was like a slow but efficient shredder relentlessly destroying everything that was thrown my way with ruthless efficiency and bloody effects.

And all the while, my fighting techniques started to improve once more!

True, it was only against mindless savage beasts and not equally skilled human beings, but for a previously inexperienced fighter like me, the real life experience of fighting with a bunch of howling fearsome monsters was definitely a very valuable one.

After around fifteen minutes and thousands of dead monsters, I was feeling really good about myself.

"Wahahahaha! Such an easy challenge! Whoever is in charge of this cursed game must be extremely impressed by my performance!" I shouted gleefully as I smashed yet another monster to a literal cloud of blood.

But amid the thinning ranks of monsters, I realized something strange.

There were absolutely no monsters attacking me from my right.

"What the hell? Where ar... WHAT THE HELL?" I shouted in shock as I finally realized the carnage that graced the entirety of my right side.

It was Princess Louisa.

Like me, she had charged ahead into the pack of monsters. But unlike me, she was not without armor and weapons.

A white sphere glistening with red monster blood shone strongly around her even as a very long lightsaber-ish kind of spear protruded out from it.

She merely charged ahead while brandishing the spear in a fearsome attack sequence, and she was able to kill many, many more monsters than me!

Every single monster her lightsaber-y spear slashed at was sliced and diced instantly, while those that managed to evade her spear and throw themselves at her was burned badly by the power of her spherical shield.

I managed to kill around three to four thousand in those short fifteen minutes.

Princess Louisa probably tripled my score with her set up.

"Holy mackaroni! You have such a powerful set of armor and weapon with you?" I shouted at her incredulously.

But she did not bother replying me.

As I paid slightly more attention on her, I realized that she was extremely pale, and her movements were starting to visibly slow down.

Bam! I continued to burst through all the mindless monsters charging at me and slowly made my way towards her.

Right as I got within five meters of her, the spherical glow around her started to flicker lightly.

I frowned. Whatever energy source was powering her shield and spear was probably about to run out, and when that happened, she would definitely die.

"Should I help her? Or should I let her die and claim her marvelous set of armor and spear for myself?" I thought to myself. "She's a complete bitch afterall, and did not hold back in trying to kill me."

But at that moment, she turned her deathly pale face to look at me and opened her mouth very slightly to say a single word.

"Help."

And after saying that, she collapsed and her spherical glow around her winked out of existence.

Without thinking, I exploded towards her at full power and full speed, and barreled into the monster that was about to pierce her with his horns!

Kabammm!!!!

The monster flew away.

I quickly noticed a strange device on her neck, and realized that it was the device that produced the strange but very powerful shield earlier.

"She was powering the device with her blood??" I thought in horror as my resonance sank into the device and quickly figured out how it worked.

Graaaahhhh!!!!!

Another monster reached us.

I grabbed him by his horn and then started to spin him around like a helicopter blade!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

His body smashed into the crowd of monsters that was charging in to reach us and flung them all away!

While I was doing that, I used my other hand to activate the device.

It was difficult getting it to pierce through my impenetrable body, but thank goodness the Europeans did not scrimp on the build quality of that royal device.

I was able to successfully pierce my skin slightly and get a single drop of blood to drip on the device.

And when that happened, a powerful spherical glow, probably close to a thousand times more powerful than the one which powered Princess Louisa earlier, appeared around me and exploded outwards towards the monsters!!

FLASHHH!!!!!

In an instant, the thousands of monsters surrounding us burst into strange white flames and were all quickly charred into nothing but bones!

Every single monster within a hundred meter radius of where I was standing, died within seconds!

"Whoa!!" I shouted in shock. "My blood is so powerful?"

It was truly an unexpected development.

Well, the entire situation was an unexpected development.

I had been kidnapped by aliens and somehow throw into a strange game-like situation where I had to survive a beast tide.

To the me who was happily escaping towards USAA, it was extremely unexpected of course.

But the fact that a single drop of my blood was able to power the device into such an extent was strange too.

Plus the fact that follow up questions started to appear in my head after that.

"Can I use my blood for other purposes? Are there other devices that can use my blood?" And a particularly irritating question which I had to deal with appeared in my mind as well.

"Should I use my blood to try and rescue this Princess Louisa bitch?"

But the answer to that question was quickly made obvious by the system.

"Trial passed. Two participants detected, score recalculated based on number of participants. Calculating. Male participant score: 85% Female participant score: 75%. Rewards are being sent your way. Please unlock reward chest using voice command." Came the disembodied voice.

I needed her alive to unlock the reward chest! AND not just that particular chest, but also all the chests from the other trial stages!
