But Sylveria had brought only three.
Over the course of ten minutes, she was struck by five separate attacks that should have been lethal. Each time, one of the precious artifacts brought protected her life, but by the end, she was exhausted and extremely wounded.
When Dravin saw Sylveria stumble, her phoenix flames flickering like a candle in a hurricane, he felt a bit pained but helpless inside. If he was awakened he would most likely have helped but he couldn't.
It was then he noticed two figures flickered not too far from her. The demon slashed its claw against the angel.
The angel vanished and the claw struck downwards. If it continued, it would crush Sylveria who was still too weak to move to meat paste!
In that instant, he snapped. Before he knew it, his body moved.
He threw himself forward without hesitation, pushing Sylveria out of the way.
"Bang!"
While managed to push the weakened Sylveria out of the way, the wind from the strike struck his head.
Instantly his brain rattled and his vision swayed. The last thing he heard was Sylveria's calling him weakly and everything turned dark.
"Dravin!"

The newest form of advance VR has just been released, The Virtual Pod. an advanced tech that could submerge one's consciousness into a virtual world as though it was real.
Draven, an avid gamer obsessed with fantasy world managed to get his hands on one and it had been set up already by the company.
"Time to test this baby!"
Of course he knew which game to test first!
He grabbed a chip with the title 'Strongest Milf Hunter System', his favorite third leg exercising game and instantly inserted it into the slot of the Virtual pod, entered the pod and activated it.
He smiled weirdly as he watched the virtual pod close and then went unconscious.
Just as the virtual pod closed, the walls of his singe room collapsed!
"Vrooom!"
A truck slammed into his room, crushing the virtual pod flat with him in it!
Just as Draven was getting claustrophobic, he suddenly felt a sudden tremble as though there was an earth quake and then a sudden stop as darkness enveloped him.
"What the hel—"
Almost immediately, flashes of memories suddenly surged into his brain like a flood.
Memories of another life, another world, another existence fleshed through his head as though he had lived them.
Earth Sea planet, Azuran Continent, dimensional rifts, ancient gods realm.
'S-so realistic!'
Dravin was in awe as he recalled strange memories from his brain as though he had lived the life.
All of these memories flashes like a rapidly flipped images and by the time he returned to consciousness, he could feel a splitting headache coming.

Dravin frowned slightly. 'Beauty bonding system?'
'Did they change the system too?'
Dravin pondered as he looked through the system function.
After a while he got the basic gist of it. The system was really different from the original game. Even if they updated it, it shouldn't be so vastly different.
But since he wanted to go straight into action, Dravin ignored his senses that something was wrong.
Suddenly, the interface flickered.
[ Initiating Target Scan… ]
[ Scan Complete: 3 High level Candidates Located in Vicinity ]
Three names appeared in glowing text:
1. Sylveria Hellborne - Success rate: 2%
2. Aria Thornweave - Success rate: 1%
3. Vera Draconis - Success rate: 1%
[Note: Targets are two realms higher then user. Bonding contract will be sent through targets' System interfaces. Accept/decline options will appear to them as emergency assistance offers.]
It was then sounds of explosion rang out in his ears. Dravin's eyes jolted wide open and his face instantly fell as he saw what was happening.
"W-what the fuck!?"
"What the actually fuck!"
His heart pounded as though about to leap out of his chest as he saw massive heaven defying figures he had only seen in games battle in an all out war!
Attacks with explosive power of a missile blasting outwards like fire crackers!
Demons gods and angels with dark wings fought fiercely to the death!
At that moment, the entire place was a chaotic battlefield.
Three separate women suddenly found urgent notifications appearing in their personal system interfaces:
[Emergency Assistance Contract Received]
[Source: Dravin (Mortal) ]
[Contract: Immediate Level up and Infinite evolution]
[Omni-System Warning: Acceptance will result in permanent bonding with target]
[Omni-System Remark: Accepting the contract will increase probability of survival increases by 50%,]
[Accept: YES / NO]
Sylveria, who was bleeding and exhausted, stared at the notification with confusion.
Dravin was dead but somehow he was providing a system contract to her. And it also stated she would immediately level up if she accepts the contract. The infinite evolution also didn't escape her sight.
Sylveria gritted her teeth as her brain worked into overdrive. If she could breakthrough from her current level 9 Super soldier to Fiendgod realm, her strength would increase by more then ten folds and with her Type III weapon and combat suit, her odds of survival would increase.
But if she refuses, the chance that she might survive this catastrophe is zero to non!
She was about to accept when she saw 'permanent bonding' and she paused.
In the cultivation world, such contract were was comparable to master slave contract.
At that moment, a demon's flaming whip mistakenly struck the statue of the titan she was hiding behind but the top curved and instantly slashed across her shoulder.
"Slash!"
Leaving a bloody gash that sliced deep into her shoulder, revealing bones. Her face turned pale as her body was blasted backwards was going to die if something didn't change!
She gritted her teeth as blood dripped her lips and body. If it weren't for the Tier III combat suit she would have died three times over.
She began to regret things, she should have given the opportunity to the other legacy student in her academy.
She shouldhave left when Dravin suggested it.
"Accept contract."
The moment she made the selection, Dravin felt an insane amount of power flood into him like a wave.

[ Host has gained: ]
↳ 20% of Sylveria Hellborne's Total Power
↳ Skill: Phoenix Flame Manipulation [Intermediate]
↳ Skill: Spear Mastery [Advanced]
↳ Talent: Phoenix Heritage [S-Rank]
Sylveria's strength, her years of combat training and her Z-gene, all of it flowed into him like a river and he was a sponge the size of an ocean.
His cells absorbed every inch of strength and in that instant, he reached the genetic barrier and with a 'boom!', the surge of energy shattered the first genetic barrier, transforming Dravin from an ordinary mortal to an actual Evolver!
But the river of energy didn't stop there! It actually filed his cells to the brim and in just a few seconds, it encountered the level 2 barrier.
"Boom!"
It stood no change as it broke through it and transforming Dravin into a level 2 Evolver but that wasn't the end!
It wasn't until he broke through to level 3 that the energy stopped at the peak of level 3, unable to finally break through the final barrier.
The transformation was immediately apparent to Sylveria as well. She felt strength flowing back into her exhausted body, and a strange connection forming in her mind but it wasn't intrusive but was just there.
Sylveria sighed in despair. If this was the extent of the power up after signing the contract, then it was all for nothing.

[Use 1000 sex points to level up Sylveria? Y/N]
Dravin was immediately stunned when he saw her strength. About 5000 points of strength was virtually insane compared to his previous one of 3 points.
Then he saw he could actually upgrade her rank even more.
Through the connection he saw her about 15 meters away from him and his gaze hardened. He instantly chose to level up.
[Using 1,000 Sex Points to enhance bonded partner…]
[Sylveria Hellborne elevated from Rank 9 Super-soldier to Rank 1 Fiendgod]
Sylveria's aura erupted like a wild fire.
Flames covered her entire body as her hair also burst into flames.
In an instant, er aura kept on climbing rapidly as her genetic limit was stretched to the peak!
"BOOM!"
An explosive shockwave blasted from her as she broke through level 9 Super soldier realm entering the Fiendsoldier realm.
For the first time since the battle began, Sylveria was able to breath properly.
At this moment, she was able to utilize Ashen step to dodge the slower demon strikes and block the shockwaves effectively.
Seeing this, both Aria and Vera gritted their teeth, helplessly trying to hold on and survive but Sylveria actually grew stronger, becoming a Fiendsoldier, an upgrade which needed time preparations.
Without merging with a fiend gene, she was actually able to evolve.
Now she was able to actually able to deflect the shockwaves on her own!
The two girls immediately made their choices.
Aria had been using her plant magic to create barriers and shelters for other survivors, but her efforts were useless.
The plants were shattered by the shockwave as and burnt by the hell flames.
When she saw Sylveria transformation, she instantly connected the dot and didn't hesitate any longer.
[Accept: YES]
Vera, meanwhile, had been trying to use her berserker talents to fight back against the divine warriors, but even with her increasing strength, it was barely enough.
Her dragon talent gave her enhanced durability, but she was still taking damage faster than she could deal it.
[Accept: YES]
Both acceptances instantly sent surges of power through Dravin's body and he broke through level 9 Evolver stage in an instant!
[Multiple Bonding Successful! ]

↳ 20% of Aria Thornweave's Total Power

The combined power of three upgrades, elevated Dravin from a mortal directly to level 9 Evolver!
Without hesitation he leveled the two other girls directly.
[Using 2,500 Sex Points each to enhance bonded partners…]
[ Level Up Notification ]
↳ Aria Thornweave advanced from [Rank 6 Super-Soldier] ➝ [Rank 1 Fiend-Soldier]
↳ Vera Draconis advanced from [Rank 8 Super-Soldier] ➝ [Rank 1 Fiend-Soldier]
Aria's plant magic exploded outward, instantly, she threw seeds on the ground and the seeds grew in split seconds into massive pillars of vines that rose to the skies, creating barriers of living forest that could actually withstand shockwaves from the demon and divine war.
Vera's dragonic powers fully awakened for the first time, scales appearing along her arms and horns in her head as her strength multiplied beyond anything she had previously achieved.
But Dravin noticed that while thier strength had increased, it was barely enough in their current situation.
[Using 4,000 Sex Points to level up…]
[All three bonded partners elevated to Rank 3 Fiendgod]
The three women's strength exploded!
Sylveria's phoenix flames now burned with intensity that could melt steel, while Aria mana created so many reinforced vines they replace themselves when shattered by the demons and angels.
Vera's entered an extreme berserk state, her skin covers in dragon scale, she actually leapt out of the barrier she had created, grabbed an angel by the wing and brought them down to battle with her.
Most importantly, they could now survive long enough to attempt an escape.
But they weren't the only ones who upgraded! Dravin's power also improved drastically as he broke through to level 3 Super soldier realm!
"Everyone who can move, head for the exit!" Sylveria shouted, her voice reinforced with mana was exceptionally loud through the chaos.
The surviving expedition members were now reduced to about 20 people.
Elena, Aldric and Luna assisted their people to escape
Apart from them, the others had died one way or the other.
Sylveria roared as she activated her trump card.
A phoenix bird made of flames rose into the skies as it pierced through the air, carving a path for them to flee.
While Aria's vines provided numerous cover that could withstand significant attacks.
Vera was the tank at the forefront allowing her to physically move or destroy obstacles that would have blocked their escape route.
After almost an hour of trying to escape, the survivors reached the golden gate.
One by one, they threw themselves through the gate.
Dravin was among the last to exit and as he looked back, he saw the fighting demons and angels suddenly stopped and they all turned around to stare at him with a weird smile.
Dravin shuddered in fear. "This game is too scary. I should probably quit now."
The angels and demons continued their war.
