Matthew Atkinson & Natalie Russell
First Layer of the Supernatural Realm
The one who suddenly appeared to save Natalie was naturally Matthew.
He was ready when the heavily armored monster took out a javelin.
With his current agility of 300 points, he could even catch a bullet with his bare hands, so it would be easy for him to catch a javelin.
The agility attribute not only affects speed but also nerve reaction ability. Combined with the visual enhancement provided by the mental attribute, Matthew's 'motion capture' ability was now far beyond that of ordinary people.
Playing with the javelin in his hand, Matthew stared at the Earl and said calmly.
"Hey, man, what's wrong with you? You want my people to kneel to you? And you want to kill her because she didn't kneel? Aren't you a little too arrogant? Do you think you are the boss of the whole Supernatural Realm or something?"
Matthew looked calm and composed, as if he was not affected at all by the Earl's strange eyes.
In fact, it affected Matthew.
After all, Matthew's mental attribute was only about thirty points higher than Natalie's.
Of course, Matthew could completely endure this effect.
"I hate arrogant people the most, especially those who are acting cool!"
Matthew stared at the Earl fiercely and said in an ominous tone: "So I am not happy now!"
"Little boss, you'd better let me beat you and vent my anger."
It was not that Matthew liked to talk big. Instead, he wanted to deliberately anger the Earl in this way.
Usually, when intelligent creatures get angry, their rationality is affected, and they might make some mistakes.
Now, Matthew was not clear about Earl's true strength, but from the conversation between Natalie and Denis Read, he judged that Earl's strength shouldn't be weak.
And if you didn't know enough about your opponents, making them angry and making sudden decisions was a good way to learn about them.
As for whether the Earl has wisdom, from the moment he asked Natalie to kneel, it was clear that this thing had intelligence.
After all, it could even talk!
…
While Matthew was trying to provoke the Earl, others were stunned.
Filip Walker, Denis Read, and the other six were all dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes and ears.
What did they see? What did they hear?
They saw the Earl's fatal attack, but Matthew, who had a useless ability, caught it easily.
Moreover, that 'useless' could look the Earl in the eye and talk freely, unaffected at all.
'What is going on? This is...' Thousands of thoughts were passing through their minds, but none of them were enough to make sense of what they saw.
Even Natalie's pretty face was filled with shock, her emerald-green eyes widened, making her look... a little silly and cute!
She initially thought that Matthew was just a little stronger than she was in the strength attribute.
Now she knew he was much, much stronger than her!
Just now, when Matthew rushed over to catch the javelin, she didn't even see Matthew's movements clearly.
With a 'whoosh', he appeared in front of her.
This speed was beyond her imagination.
Looking at Matthew's broad back, Natalie suddenly felt very safe.
This strong sense of security, of course, was brought by Matthew!
At this time, the two Indians approached Filip Walker and the others, and one of them whispered, "Is this also one of your companions? Unbelievable, he's so powerful!"
Another one, Karam Naidu, said, "Yes! With him here, we might be able to survive... May I ask, what is his ability?"
Although Karam Naidu spoke in his native language, Supernatural Real could translate so everyone could communicate freely.
Faced with Karam Naidu's question, Filip Walker also wanted to know.
"Denis... hasn't he a Kryptonian Bloodline? How could he..."
"You ask me, but who should I ask?" Denis Read's face was solemn as he looked at Matthew's back. "I've always felt he has something special, but I didn't expect him to be so lowkey!"
At this point, Denis Read suddenly smiled again and said, "Don't worry about that for now. Whether we can survive or not tonight depends entirely on him!"
That was the truth.
Everyone looked towards Matthew, but no one offered to help Matthew.
It was not that they were afraid; they knew that, with their mediocre skills, they were unable to intervene in such a high-end battle.
…
Meanwhile, the Earl standing in front of Matthew seemed a little irritated by Matthew's words. His eyes, like black holes, grew even more intimidating, and his breathing grew much heavier.
No offering had ever dared to challenge him like this!
Seeing this, Matthew decided to add fuel to the fire and test the monster's strength.
"Your 'short spear'. I'll give it back to you!"
After these words, Matthew clenched the javelin in his hand and threw it violently.
Before transmigrating, Matthew had played with javelins and spears for a while in college out of interest. He couldn't say how good he was at throwing, but at least he knew how to exert force and how to aim accurately. Relatively.
Of course, with his current powerful explosive strength, what he threw could no longer be called a javelin.
It had to be called a laser beam!
-Whoosh
A strong, sharp sound was heard instantly.
The javelin was like a flash of lightning, instantly arriving in front of the Earl.
It was faster and more powerful than the one thrown by the Earl before!
Because the javelin thrown by Matthew was too fast, the Earl had no time to dodge and was hit directly.
-Puchi
A piercing sound was heard.
The javelin pierced the Earl's left chest, then passed through his body and flew further away.
-Clank! Clank! Clank...
Under the influence of the huge impact and inertia, the Earl monster retreated five or six steps before stabilizing his body so as not to fall.
From this, Matthew could see that Earl's reaction speed was much slower than his.
At least Matthew was able to catch Earl's javelin, but he couldn't avoid Matthew's inexperienced attack.
After this confrontation, Matthew was confident in his heart!
The difference in speed could sometimes affect the outcome of a battle.
…
Although the Earl's body was pierced, he did not fall.
He was still standing steadily, seemingly fine.
It seemed that this monster, like those other monsters, had semi-immortality!
It seemed that to kill these monsters, he would either have to strike their weak points or destroy their bodies.
'Maybe his weakness is also the head? Matthew stared at Earl's head, thinking about how to smash it.
-Roar
A fierce roar spread throughout the city.
Even a fool could hear the anger contained in this roar.
This time, the Earl was really angered by Matthew.
His eyes quickly turned from black to scarlet, staring at Matthew intently.
But in return, Matthew just smiled coldly.
Then he provocatively waved at the monster.
Seeing this, the Earl immediately took action.
He took a step forward and strode towards Matthew.
-Boom! Boom!
With its massive body, every step it took made the ground creak under heavy pressure.
When the monster was about three or four meters away from Matthew, it suddenly swung its left arm towards Matthew.
Matthew was stunned. 'How can the opponent hit me from such a distance?'
The next moment, the answer appeared.
He saw that the Earl's left hand was actually a long tentacle.
A large section of it had been hidden in the armor, but now it was all stretched out, and it was more than five meters long.
