Chapter 265: Exhaustion.
In the spectators\' room.
\'\'Where are they?!\'\' The VIPs screamed after Ichiro and the Rage Beast disappeared from the screen.
Leppercon looked towards Longel and saw his solemn look.
\'\'Where are they?\'\' Elina asked with slight panic in her tone, but she hid her facial expression.
\'\'They entered a blindspot…\'\' Leppercon scratched his head with frustration, \'\'I didn\'t think there were any… This is bad.\'\'
\'\'I will go check if he is alive,\'\' Longel said and disappeared into a black portal.
Arkenthym looked at the screen with a coldness. He felt a cold sweat pouring on his back.
He needed to get the Power Limit Remover, no matter what!
…
\'\'Ugh…\'\' Ichiro used his skinny arms to crawl towards another blindspot. In that spot, he wouldn\'t be noticed if someone walked past the holes in the wall, but it might still attract some attention.
His body lifelessly lied on the ground, he looked almost dead, but his chest still moved rhythmically up and down, showing that he was still breathing.
Finally, after relaxing, he saw the notifications.

_____
Ichiro looked at the Interface with hazy vision and saw [Beast Slayer]
\'\'Ah right… I had that.\'\' Ichiro now understood how he was able to fight against Half-Step Deadly Beast and not die.
He shakily took the rest of his Healing Potions from the and gulped all of them down on his throat.
[+200 HP!]
His skinny body started having muscles appearing, but he still looked very weak. The Healing Potions heals his injuries, but it doesn\'t remove the exhaustion. Even if he heals all the way to the max, he would still feel very weak and wouldn\'t be any stronger than Martial Leader.
He stopped using more Healing Potions because it would be of no use. There was still a tinge of pain assaulting his nerves, but it was the only thing that kept him awake.
*SWOOSH*
Suddenly a black portal appeared in the room and a figure with small blond hair and a similar-colored beard appeared.
Longel looked at Ichiro being alive with slight relief, but then he saw a corpse of the Rage Beast. His eyes slowly turned into a shock.
Ichiro turned his head around and felt his senses scream of danger while looking at the blond-haired man.
Longel took one final glance at Ichiro. He wiped his hand, and the Rage Beast\'s corpse got sucked inside his dimension, and soon his body disappeared as well.
\'\'Grrr…\'\' Ichiro sat up, and even that was a difficult feat. He glanced at the smartwatch and started chuckling with resignation.
A red dot was moving further away. Someone took advantage of the battle and managed to steal the Power Limit Remover.
Ichiro also noticed that he was still a rank 1, but who knows, how long.
\'\'I am tired…\'\' He murmured and closed his eyes. His body had reached limits, and he needed proper rest.
He soon entered a deep slumber, and the room\'s lights started dimming down until they were completely gone, and only pitch darkness was left.
Ichiro\'s body was invisible in the darkness.
…
4 Hours Later.
[Ichiro!]
\'\'Mmm…\'\' Ichiro shook his head and was about to enter another deep slumber, but then an ear-piercing shout echoed in his mind.
[WAKE UP!]
His eyes opened in a slam. He grabbed his head in agony because he felt like someone had hit his head with a baseball bat.
But, it was the result of the loud shout.
Ichiro rubbed his head and saw a dark room with only him inside.
He glanced at his smartwatch but couldn\'t see the text in it because of the darkness.
Ichiro sighed and put his two hands on the floor. He pushed him up, but that alone caused his muscles to scream in pain.
\'\'Damn…\'\' He sighed and decided to ask, \'\'Would drinking more Healing Potions help?\'\'
[No, that pain comes from exhaustion. Every muscle in your body is exhausted, and it will cause pain if you overwork them]
Ichiro nodded and slowly walked out of the room. He had to take careful steps because even walking made his leg muscles scream in pain.
After he left the room, he glanced at the smartwatch and widened his eyes.
[1:09:57]
[Eliminations: 18]
[Rank: 2]
[Fighters Left: 32]
\'\'Rank 2…\'\' He murmured with a serious look on his face.
\'Almost 1 hour left… I can\'t heal enough in time… I have to go after the Power Limit Remover.\' He took another look at the smartwatch and tried to find the location of the red dot.
Soon he found it and wryly smiled.
\'\'Of course…\'\' He sighed and started slowly limping towards his next destination.
The red dot was located on the most spacious part of the entire stadium.
A place that could prove to be very difficult to defend…
The arena!
