Matthew Atkinson & Natalie Russell
First Layer of the Supernatural Realm
On the first floor of the tavern, everyone sat down and rested casually.
They looked relaxed.
Mainly because Matthew was there, no one had to worry about any danger.
In fact, until now, everyone still felt like a dream about the previous experience, and it seemed unreal!
Matthew was too strong.
It was so strong that it was beyond everyone's imagination!
'How could such a monster appear among the rookies? What kind of ability did he possess?'
These were questions everyone wanted to know.
But no one dared to ask him.
Everyone only dared to glance at Matthew secretly, and then immediately looked away.
The atmosphere in the tavern was somewhat silent.
Then, an Indian supernatural, Karam Naidu, as if he had discovered something, suddenly spoke up, "Do you feel that since the scarlet moon appeared outside, our minds have been affected?"
When these words were spoken, everyone was slightly stunned.
Karam Naidu explained, "I've studied the mental training methods of a few religions and have done some research on the mind. If there are any changes in my mind, I can sense them."
Everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.
The scarlet moonlight seemed to amplify emotions.
One of those most affected was Filip Walker. That guy was locked in a cage before, crying and begging for mercy, making a complete fool of himself.
Filip Walker admitted that he was indeed afraid of death, but he was not so fragile.
Others felt the effects of the scarlet moonlight to some degree. Especially Matthew.
He was so bloodthirsty just now that he even planned to kill all the monsters in the city!
But, usually, he was not a bloodthirsty person at all.
Now that he thought about it, it must be his desire to kill that was magnified without his knowledge by scarlet moonlight.
The scarlet moon in the sky was indeed strange.
Thinking of this, Matthew frowned.
His strength was too weak at the moment, and even if he knew that Scarlet Moon or Moon Goddess was plotting against him, it would be of no use.
If he were strong enough, he could fly up to the sky and blow up that strange scarlet moon. Alas, he was not.
"I think this is why the Supernatural Realm wants to erase our memories!"
Natalie said calmly, "If we retain our memories, the negative effects of the scarlet moon might continue to affect us. The Supernatural Realm erasing our memories and helping us return to our original state is actually a form of protection."
Everyone nodded and thought Natalie's analysis made a lot of sense.
It was said that after the tenth level of the supernatural realm, there was rarely any amnesiac layer.
Obviously, this move by the Supernatural Realm was aimed at protecting rookie-stage supernaturals.
Including Matthew, everyone agreed with Natalie's statement.
He looked at the girl sitting next to him and suddenly wanted to tease her, so he leaned toward her and said in a low voice. "Natalie, no wonder I think you look so beautiful tonight!"
As soon as these words came out, Natalie's pretty face turned red.
At the same time, the girl was also a little panicked.
If the scarlet moon really does amplify desires, then Matthew wouldn't want to do... that to her, right?
She quickly looked towards Matthew and saw a mischievous smile on his face. She immediately realized that she had been teased.
After giving Matthew a displeased look, Natalie quickly regained her composure.
However, what was going on with this slight feeling of loss in her heart?
"By the way, Natalie."
Matthew asked again. "Aren't you curious about why I have such strong power?"
"It doesn't matter whether I'm curious or not. I'm going to lose my memory when I leave this layer anyway, so it's useless to know now."
When Natalie said this, he smiled and said, "I just felt that I am a very lucky man!"
She knew very well that Matthew's current strength was definitely due to his Kryptonian Bloodline.
Everyone seriously underestimated this ability!
Even knowing this, she would still thank Matthew for giving her the Flame-Flame Fruit.
After all, just because Matthew discovered the secret of the Kryptonian Bloodline didn't mean she could, too.
Regarding Natalie's answer, Matthew thought this girl was brilliant and sensible.
He liked people like this!
"How long have we been in the supernatural realm?" Matthew asked.
This question was not asked in a low voice, so everyone could hear it.
Everyone thought about it, and some spoke up.
"It should be more than five hours."
"It's probably almost six hours."
"So, there's still half the time left?" Matthew frowned. "Are we just going to sit here and do nothing from now on?"
Denis Read said, "Isn't this a good idea? I've exhausted all my energy from the battle just now, and I need to rest."
The others nodded in agreement.
Seeing Matthew's bored expression, Filip Walker couldn't help but ask, "Matt... Mr. Atkinson, you killed that terrifying Earl and at least a thousand other monsters. Don't you feel tired?"
Matthew was stunned when he heard the question. It seemed that he really didn't feel tired.
At least not at the moment!
He even felt that he could fight such a high-intensity battle for another day!
The Kryptonian body truly deserved the title of a super physique.
It was simply strong in all aspects!
…
As soon as they saw Matthew's thoughtful expression, they knew that this man was still full of energy after killing so many monsters!
Everyone was shocked by Matthew's endurance.
At the same time, they envied Matthew's performance tonight!
Killed so many monsters, and even destroyed the big boss, the Earl.
This kind of achievement absolutely maxed out his team's mission rewards.
In other words, after leaving here, Matthew and Natalie would definitely get the highest grade and additional rewards!
No one could compete with them.
Then, Filip Walker suddenly stood up, walked up to Matthew, and said sincerely, "Mr. Atkinson, I want to thank you. If it weren't for you and Miss Russell, I would have been dead, and not even a corpse would be left of me."
"Also, I want to apologize to you. I always thought you had a useless ability... and I looked down on you because of that. I'm sorry, Mr. Atkinson, I was too narrow-minded."
Matthew immediately said with a smile, "We are all classmates. It's only natural for us to help each other. There's no need for this. And please call me Matthew. Mr. Atkinson is my grandfather."
Following Filip Walker's example, others also came forward to express their gratitude to Matthew.
The same went for those Indians.
In Denis Read's words, everyone would forget all of this once they got out, and now was the only time they could thank Matthew for saving their lives.
Matthew could only endure it helplessly.
A moment later, after everyone finished thanking him, Matthew suddenly suggested, "It's too boring just to sit here. Let's play a game!"
Everyone was in a state of dismay when they heard this!
'Mate, this was a dangerous supernatural realm layer, not a resort!'
…
In time, dawn finally arrived.
The scarlet night slowly faded away.
Everyone finally received the notification that the mission was over.
[Warning: You will return to your world in 30 seconds, 29, 28, 27...]
Seeing the countdown prompt in their left eye, everyone felt relieved.
"I can finally go back!" Filip Walker sighed.
One Indian looked at everyone and laughed loudly: "Dear friends, I hope we can fight alongside you in the future again!"
After those words, everyone disappeared from the spot.
