Chapter 210: This is Quite Difficult!
For a moment that seemed to stretch on forever, Creed stared up at the massive Greater Beast Lord towering above him like a living mountain of teeth, claws, and barely contained violence.
The creature’s burning eyes fixed on him with the kind of predatory focus that usually meant someone was about to become lunch, and its enormous mouth opened to reveal rows of teeth that glowed like hot coals in a forge.
Most people in this situation would have been paralyzed with terror, their minds shutting down in the face of such overwhelming danger.
But Creed wasn’t most people.
He was a hope candidate! He was also the fiancé to a yandere villainess that could definitely one shot this beast!
That had to count somehow, right?!
Instead of fear, he felt something entirely different surging through his body; a wild, electric excitement that made his heart race and his blood sing with anticipation.
This was exactly the kind of challenge he had been hoping for when he entered the VR pod!
Here was a genuine test of his abilities, a chance to see what he could really do when faced with a life-or-death situation against an opponent that was clearly designed to push him to his absolute limits.
Without hesitation, Creed reached for his storage ring and drew his weapon from the magical storage space where it waited for moments exactly like this.
The pale white spear called Pale Horizon materialized in his hands with a soft whisper of displaced air, its crystalline surface immediately beginning to glow with an inner light that seemed to respond to his fighting spirit.
The weapon felt perfectly balanced and familiar in his grip, like an extension of his own body rather than a separate tool.
