My Wife is the Asura Empress

Her evergreen happy face became devoid of brightness and she took off her helmet as sadness flickered in her eyes.

She stood up and went out of the bedroom.

Rio took out his phone and searched on the internet \'Does a VR helmet keep the record of a practice battle at military school? Can anyone see my battle points?\'

Many search results came out.

He clicked on the first one and started reading. After finishing the article, he sighed in relief.

"So I\'m safe as long as we don\'t especially record the match and I don\'t make my battle points public. That means I can farm points today. I need 19 more yellow battle points for this month." A bright smile bloomed on his face realizing he could make more points today alone.

He felt bad about Nyla as she helped him a lot and he just left her virtual world like that.

\'If I didn\'t meet Lia first I\'m sure my heart would be stolen by this crazy girl. She is better than those people I have met in my life so far. She is a nice friend.\'

He mounted his helmet back and went into the game.

The empty room appeared once again with the transition effects. He checked his friend list which was only composed of Nyla. It showed a gray icon beside her which indicated the title \'offline.\' Unlike before when it was a green icon with the title \'online.\'

He looked at other menus floating in the corner of his sight and found an option "Spawn a random yellow stage beast."

He selected it and the surroundings changed to grassy fields.

A giant rat appeared, similar to the one before. But Rio didn\'t use the Mana enchantment this time.

He summoned his king Silver-Bloom sword. A large double-edged sword with a blooming-flower shape on its yellow hilt.

Rio waited for the giant rat patiently. As expected the AI-programmed beast marched towards him to attack after observing its prey a little.

The beast was getting closer every second. Rio tightened his grip on the hilt of the silver-bloom sword.

As it was just a meter away, he swung the blade in a curve and cut apart its body into two as if a knife through the butter.

Rio walked away from the corpse and its body leaked blood while the top part slid down from the bottom causing him to feel unpleasant.

[Yellow stage Giant Rat killed. One yellow battle point gained.]

Rio practiced with the giant red for ten minutes and killed around fourteen giant rats. He had a total of fifteen yellow battle points and to gain little resistance towards the bloody scene.

\'I wonder when the mutated giant rat will appear. I only need five more battle points.\'

He thought the game only spawns the giant rat but it was actually different. One needed to kill a certain number of giant rats to unlock a different yellow stage beast.

He killed two more but after that, an abnormal giant rat appeared.

This was a 4-meter-tall giant rat with two tails. The yellow stripes were similar to the old ones but thicker.

\'is this a mutated one?\'

Unlike before, it didn\'t rush toward him and only watched him like he was its prey.

Rio didn\'t move either and observed what it would do.

After two minutes passed, it finally decided to attack him.

*Aeeeeechhhh!*

It howled in anger as the sound reverberated in the area. Rio felt his heartbeat getting faster and fear engulfing him even though it was virtual reality.

This time he used mana enchantment on his eyes and legs so he could see the upcoming giant rat.

He felt the ground shaking as the giant rat marched towards him while aiming at him with its reddish-yellow eyes.

\'I should check how much damage I can do to it without mana enchantment. My sword is a king tier, The worst should be a tie, it shouldn\'t lose to another king tier beast of the yellow stage.\'

Beast was about to collide with his body and tear it apart but Rio moved and sliced at its body.

The giant rat\'s flesh was stabbed by the sharpness of the blade and blood came out but it didn\'t cut it apart like before.

The defense of this beast was a lot more than the previous giant rat he fought with. He failed to kill it with one strike and appeared behind the beast.

\'It\'s Strong… let\'s end the fight quickly.\'

He didn\'t waste another second and enchanted his silver-bloom sword. The aura of the sword in his hand doubled and its valor could be felt in the air.

The 4-meter-tall giant rat felt a threat directed towards its life as it turned around to look at the silver-bloom sword with a fearful gaze.

The beast was already close to Rio and he didn\'t let it run away.

He stomped the ground with his mana enchanted legs and launched himself towards the beast\'s body in the air like a rocket crossing the distance in a second.

Deadly sword\'s blade came in contact with the body of the 4-meter-tall giant rat, and passed it as if the body was made of fluid.

Rio landed on the ground while he heard a \'thud\' and splattering sound behind him as half of the beast body fell down scattering blood and its organs around.
