Online Game: My 10,000x Intelligence Buff Awakens

Lucas had been held at knife point by [Iron Controller], so he couldn't move at all.

But when the red-furred monkey in a black suit showed up, the knife on his neck fell to the ground.

Probably, [Iron Controller] couldn't control so many weapons at once, which gave Lucas a chance.

Seeing this, Lucas wasn't stupid. He tried to sneak away quietly. But as soon as he took one step, he heard a loud whoosh behind him!

He turned around instinctively and saw a sharp knife flying toward him at a super fast speed!

As an ordinary Lucas, how could he react in time?

His breath stopped suddenly, and his heart seemed to stop beating. All he could do was stare wide-eyed, watching the sharp knife that meant death getting closer and closer.

At that moment, a few pieces of metal fell from above, and a figure suddenly dropped from the sky!

Ethan held a long knife and was adjusting his body in mid-air, looking very frustrated.

He had been hiding in the ventilation pipe above the underground area, trying to find a way out.

But because the factory had been abandoned for a long time, the pipes were old and broken. The metal under Ethan's feet was very weak from rust.

Plus, Ethan had been having bad luck lately. He fell straight down from the pipe, and landed right in front of the knife and Lucas.

Lucas had already given up, expecting death. But then he suddenly saw Ethan standing in front of him, in a life-or-death moment!

Lucas's eyes widened in shock. He bit his lip hard, and all he could think was: this guy, who was caught with Dr. Axel, actually saved him!

He knew Ethan was just a normal patient. He couldn't possibly fight against someone with super powers...

But what happened next completely shocked him.

Ethan focused all his attention, and his long knife quickly cut through the air, leaving a beautiful white line.

"Ding!"

The sound of two knives hitting each other rang out.

Ethan stepped back, his hands shaking as he held the knife, and he pushed Lucas backward with his body.

His face looked serious. He looked up at the middle-aged man floating in the air.

This guy was strong.

Ethan knew that if the man attacked him with all his strength, he wouldn't have a chance to fight back.

But the reason he had blocked that attack was because the man was mostly focused on the red-furred ape in the black suit.

The middle-aged man saw Ethan blocking his attack and immediately frowned. He said: "It's you!"

"Kid, do you want to feel the same pain as before? How dare you show up in front of me like this?"

As he spoke, he started controlling the metal around him, trying to attack again.

But at that moment, Lion had already rushed under Molly. With a strong kick, he jumped up about seven or eight meters and grabbed Molly.

Seeing this, [Iron Controller] ignored everyone else and focused all his power on stopping Lion.

Right away, the two started a fierce fight. The ground in the underground area shook, and dust started falling from the ceiling.

Lucas quickly got up and ran to Ethan's side. He asked: "Hey, are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

Ethan shook his head. His hands were a little painful, and his arm muscles had been slightly hurt from the attack.

He looked up at the middle-aged man. This man had hurt him before and even nailed him to the wall. If there was any chance, Ethan would never let him go.

Ethan studied the man carefully, taking in every detail about his height and appearance.

Under Ethan's eyes, three small knives flew out from the man's back. They were fast, like meteors in the sky.

Lion had been matching [Iron Controller] evenly, but after the knives appeared, he started getting injured.

Lion had to find a chance to put Molly down near Emma and Axel, then jump back into the air to continue fighting [Iron Controller].

Only then did Ethan finally see Dr. Axel, Emma, and the iron cage in the distance.

His eyes widened in shock. His calm and calm face suddenly changed into surprise and disbelief.

The monster inside the cage looked exactly like the boss he had killed in the third floor of Frostspire Tower!

Ethan took a slow breath and blinked, thinking he must have seen wrong.

He had actually seen the boss from *Dawnfall Online* in the real world. His brain worked fast, trying to figure out: was the monster here because of the game, or was the game copying the real world?

Ethan tightened his grip on his long knife. A quiet sense of killing intent started to grow in his heart.

His Blue-quality ability, [Pain Resistance], had already appeared in the real world. What about the unknown-quality ability, [Ten-Thousandfold Intelligence Reward]?

If he could kill this monster again, the one that had appeared in the third floor of Frostspire Tower, would that ability give him a high-quality Intel reward?

And what kind of reward would it be?

Ethan took a deep breath and looked down at his knife.

The earlier hit had made the knife slightly bent, and the sharp edge had a small crack.

This knife had belonged to the bald guy he killed. It was sharp and strong, but when facing a stronger force, it still felt a little weak.

Ethan really wished he could find some better weapons. With the right tools, his power would be much stronger.

At that moment, Emma and Axel hurried over with Molly.

Emma looked at Ethan with a complicated expression and said: "Thanks for saving my brother. I owe you a favor."

"Also, I'm sorry I misunderstood you. The men in black and these kidnappers are really not on the same side, just like you said."

Her expression was very serious. In this world, there weren't many people she cared about. She had just watched Lucas in danger, unable to do anything.

If it wasn't for Ethan, Lucas would already be dead.

Emma clenched her fists. She looked up at the fight between [Iron Controller] and Lion, and her eyes started to show a strong desire.

She needed power. Strong power.

In response to Emma's apology, Ethan just gave a small nod. He really needed Emma's help, after all, Dr. Axel was working under her.

And there must be a lot of machines and equipment in Emma's research lab. Maybe, when he found the right materials to make the potions from Dawnfall Online, he would need those things.

At that moment, the others around them were still watching the fight between [Iron Controller] and Lion.

The guards in the underground area had been sent away by [Iron Controller], so now Ethan and the others weren't in any real danger.

They just needed to stay safe, avoid getting caught in the fight, and wait until Lion won. Then they could leave safely.

But right now, Lion was getting more and more wounds, and his red fur looked even more strange and wild.

[Iron Controller] sneered and said: "Hmph. I know you. You're Lion, the leader of the No-Face Unit in Dolren City."

"I heard you were strong. But now you look pretty weak."

Lion kept shaking his head as he landed on the ground. His breathing became faster and faster.

[Iron Controller] laughed and said: "Are you scared?"

Just as he finished speaking, he heard a loud heartbeat coming from Lion's body.

Lion was already over two and a half meters tall. As his heart beat faster, his body started to grow again, reaching three meters in height!

His eyes were full of blood, and he stared at [Iron Controller] with a wild look. He opened his mouth and showed his sharp teeth, growling:

"Kill you! Kill you!"

"Kill!"

The next second, Lion pushed off the ground with his legs. The ground cracked under his feet, and he flew into the air like a bullet, straight toward [Iron Controller].

[Iron Controller] quickly controlled the metal around him, forming a strong steel wall in front of him.

But in the next moment, Lion's long staff quickly pierced through the steel wall.

His staff was glowing red as it cut through the air, and it flew straight toward [Iron Controller]'s head.

Without thinking, [Iron Controller] quickly moved his body to the side, barely avoiding the attack.

But before he could even breathe easier, a cold, sharp feeling suddenly came from behind him.

In the blink of an eye, experimental subject Jake had broken through the iron cage and appeared behind [Iron Controller].

He opened his huge mouth wide, swung his claws like a wild beast, and two faces on his chest screamed loudly, all attacking [Iron Controller] from behind!

A look of fear flashed across [Iron Controller]'s face. He quickly shouted:

"Master, save me!"
