I Kill to Get All SSS Abilities: From Outcast to Awakened-Chapter 83: Out into the Cold

The live stream started rolling and viewers came into the channel to watch immediately.

Other than Lukas and the other team members, there were several awakened teams that came onto the stage.

Most notably of them all, the Blitz Team with Zak leading the way.

Comments started rolling in when Zak appeared.

"That’s our Zak. Always so cool and calm."

"Look at the other teams. They don’t stand a chance at all."

"Maybe Zak should take a break first and let the other teams have an hour’s worth of handicap."

The fans of the Blitz Team were confident in their hero and praised Zak.

Zak then started to shake hands with the other awakened teams.

"That’s our Zak, always so polite."

"How I wish to be one of the awakened up there now."

"I wouldn’t ever wash my hands again after having a handshake with Zak."

Their praises stopped when the camera showed Zak shaking hands with Riley, Emma, Harianto.

When Zak shook hands with Rex, the comments went wild.

"Isn’t that the guy boasting about how their team can handle High Tiered demonic beasts?"

"Yeah, that’s him."

"Just as I thought. He looks like the stereotype I had in mind."

Rex clenched his hands tight when he saw the comments on the big screen that was in front of the participants.

Zak’s face turned red from the pain, and he tried to pull it back.

He thought he heard his bones cracking when Rex stared at him with a look of vengeance.

Lukas nudged Rex again to remind him of their mission.

With an unwilling sigh, Rex let go of Zak’s hand.

"I pity Zak, being angry with the man but still having to try and be polite."

"Definitely, I would give the man a beating on the spot if I were Zak."

"Zak is an angel compared to that brute."

When the audience saw Zak’s face reddened, they thought Zak was angry with Rex, but he kept his cool and shook hands with Rex.

Zak walked over to Lukas next, while cursing silently at Rex.

He was perturbed and didn’t know why Rex was angry at him.

So far in show business, Helen had taken care of everything, and it was the first time he encountered someone hostile to him.

His breath nearly stopped when he saw Lukas.

"You..." Zak wanted to exclaim how good-looking Lukas was but stopped himself.

The camera then quickly zoomed into a close-up of Zak and Lukas facing each other.

Lukas was nonchalant about what was going on and only wanted to end it quickly so that they could get to Peter Lim.

The comments went wild again. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"This young man... He is just as handsome as Zak."

"Oh my. Look at him like he is without a care in the world."

"I’m sorry Zak, but I think I need to make space for one more man in my heart."

"Too bad he is with that boastful brute of a man."

"Hope Zak can be merciful and take him in after the show."

Many of them lamented the fact that Lukas was with Rex and the other team members. And it was too bad that he would have to go up against Zak and the Blitz Team.

Helen smirked as she watched the statistics going up.

10K...

20K...

100K...

Soon, it went up to 500K concurrent viewers, making the show’s livestream number 1 in the rankings.

It was a record for her and her smirk turned into a grin when she thought about what she had in store later.

...

Edge of West Battle Administration Area.

Lukas and the other team members arrived at the edge of the city in a posh limousine provided by the producer.

When he stepped out of the limousine, he immediately saw that the atmosphere was a world of difference from the South Battle Administration Area.

The wall that encircled the West Battle Administration Area was twice as tall and covered in a thick surface of ice.

Visually, Lukas figured that the ice was at least thirty feet thick.

They were led to the checkpoint and Lukas saw the soldiers’ behavior was the same as at the airbase.

All they cared about was getting an autograph from Zak.

Not many were still on alert the moment they saw him.

Either Zak’s appeal was so strong, or they must not have faced real and imminent dangers from the demonic beasts for a very long time.

Lukas thought to himself silently.

He was much more convinced it was the latter.

From what he saw, it was just entertainment to them clearing out the demonic beasts outside of the wall.

After clearing the checkpoint, they were led outside of the wall.

Lukas saw that instead of the woods with lush greenery they had in the South Battle Administration Area, it was chilling white snow covering the forest.

Trees had no leaves on them but only snow covering the branches.

"Before we begin, let me brief you on where it is safe to venture."

The staff member leading them held up a screen and shouted.

He pointed at areas marked in green on the screen and said, "These are safe hunting grounds, you’ll find only low tiered demonic beasts around this area.

"Do not venture too far off as we can’t guarantee what you’ll encounter out of these areas."

The other awakened teams nodded.

They weren’t about to risk their lives as they were recruited by Helen to make Zak look good.

Lukas raised his hand and said, "Which areas have the most demonic beasts?"

The staff member was stumped for a moment.

Helen rubbed her hands and quickly spoke into the mic from her control room.

"Tell him where it is. Someone rage bait in the chat quickly."

Staff sitting beside her got to work immediately.

"I thought they could handle High Tiered demonic beasts? And here he is, asking where the demonic beasts are so they can avoid them."

"Hahahaha. Now that you say it in this manner, I think you are right."

"And I was thinking this young man would be different from the others."

"There goes the competition for someone that could be as good as Zak."

Her staff succeeded and the comments came in thinking that Lukas was trying to avoid the areas where it was dangerous.
