YM778.TV Chapter 75: You have slain the Hedgetant
>[One minute left until Apex Rampage Mode ends]
"Only one minute left... I can\'t waste it." Silas clenched the scythe tightly in his right hand and launched forward at blinding speed. Even though his skill was activated, the Realm\'s god still moved freely.
Its speed had reduced slightly, but it remained incredibly fast. Silas wasn\'t too shocked that the mutant hadn\'t frozen like the others whenever he activated his Lightning Dash ability. He hadn\'t expected anything less from a Grade 5 mutant.
As Silas dashed forward, he continuously activated the skill, boosting his own speed even more and slightly slowing the mutant\'s. In the blink of an eye, he arrived directly in front of the mutant and swung his scythe at it.
CLANG!
A loud clanging sound reverberated throughout the chamber as Silas\'s scythe connected with the mutant\'s hardened, quill-covered body. The force behind the hit sent the mutant rolling several meters backward, but there wasn\'t a scratch on it.
"I can\'t land a solid hit while it\'s in that ball-like form. It has to be in its normal hedgehog shape for me to injure it. But by the looks of it… that bastard has no intention of changing back," Silas thought, his gaze fixed on the Realm\'s god, which was now rolling toward him with tremendous speed.
"This scythe is useless for now." Silas unsummoned his scythe, then cracked his knuckles as he prepared himself for the mutant\'s next move. As it neared, quills aimed straight for him, Silas leaped to the side, dodging the attack cleanly.
Then, in one swift motion, he thrust both hands forward, grabbing two of the mutant\'s quills on either side of its ball-like form. As he gripped the quills tightly, the others dug into his arms, drawing blood. Silas clenched his teeth against the pain but held on, determined not to let the mutant escape his grasp.
"If you\'re not going to revert to your normal form, then I\'ll just have to break through your defense with my bare hands!" he roared, his voice filled with intensity. Holding the quills with both hands, he strained to pull them apart, shouting at the top of his lungs as he exerted every ounce of strength.
Silas kept pulling the quills on both sides of the mutant\'s ball-like body with all his might. His enhanced strength coursed through him, and as he pulled, the red aura around his body intensified, and his eyes glowed even brighter. Finally, with a burst of raw power, he ripped the mutant\'s body apart.
Dark purple blood poured out like a river, and the mutant let out a guttural growl of pain before it finally died.
Silas dropped both halves of the creature on the floor, then collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.

>[More rewards: All armor and weapons have leveled up]
Silas glanced at the series of notifications that popped up before him, taking a moment to catch his breath. A grin flickered across his face as he took in the messages, but he dismissed them quickly. Now wasn\'t the time to dwell on his new rewards.
He had already killed the Realm\'s god, and soon, the entire realm would collapse. Slowly, he rose to his feet, his body feeling the full brunt of exhaustion as the effects of Apex Rampage Mode wore off. It felt as if his body had been crushed under a train.
Staggering toward the dead mutant, Silas pulled a small dagger from his pocket and began carving out roughly a hundred quills from its corpse. He stored these quills in his system\'s arsenal, then carved out another hundred and placed them in his pouch.
Once he was certain he had gathered everything he needed, he exited the chamber and began his journey back to the area where he\'d left the team.

**Outside the Realm…**
In the portal room, the staff members were still present, waiting for the portal to cool down before powering it up to retrieve the students. Kara stood at the forefront, fingers rubbing her chin while her foot tapped the floor rhythmically. She waited patiently for a moment before glancing at the clock to check the time.
"It\'s time already. Go fetch Sir Dominic so we can proceed," she ordered, directing her gaze toward the bald staff member nearby.
The man nodded and dashed out of the room. Moments later, he returned with Sir Dominic, who removed his suit jacket and tossed it aside as he approached the portal device.
"Power it up!" he commanded, rolling up his sleeves. The portal device began to hum, a small blue spark appearing at its center. Gradually, the sparks multiplied, expanding until a full blue portal shimmered into view.
"All right, let\'s go!" Sir Dominic announced, moving toward the portal.
"Wait!" Kara held him back, her eyes fixed on the portal. "Someone\'s coming through," she murmured, voice tense.
