Chapter 749: Report
Bang!!
A huge sound echoed as a five-meter-tall monster slammed a giant rhinoceros to the ground. Blood splattered everywhere as the rhinocerosâ eyes lost their luster. Just like that, a peak fourth stage had died.
The one who killed it was a giant humanoid monster armed with a huge club. This was Gerxuzs, the Uncontrollable.
âItâs weakâŠâ
Gerxuzs spat in contempt. This peak fourth stage rhino was far weaker than the goblin he fought in Lerna Island. For him, no fourth stage monster could give him trouble except for that one. He was decimating every peak fourth stage that he met left and right and only left high level fourth stage and below.
He didnât even know that the fourth stage goblin that he fought before wasnât even a peak level nor high level. Souta was only at the intermediate level yet he could clash with the top peak fourth stage.
Gerxuzs frowned and left the territory of the rhinoceros. Soutaâs combat style was unusual for monsters. Several combat arts and spells boosted his strength by a certain degree and different skills were used to pressure Gerxuzs. The gravitational field and the other skills that lowered his ability a little bit did a great job of keeping him in check. If he didnât focus his attention on his surrounding sometimes shadows would emerge from the ground and attack him.
It was an unforgettable battle for him. A monster with the combat style of humans and demis. It was far more dangerous than any of peak fourth stage monsters that he saw before. Truly magnificent beyond compare.
âIt seems that I need to hunt some humans or demis and learn their skills⊠It would be fun to hunt that goblin after thatâŠâ
âŠ
Athensâs Champion.
Soutaâs group returned after a huge harvest. Souta reported the completion of his mission. He also didnât forget to report the warriors that perished on Lerna Island.
What shocked him the most was that his feat had already traveled to this place. The warriors had heard about him subduing the legendary Nine-Headed Hydra.
âI didnât believe it at first butâŠâ Carmel chuckled as he glanced at the sleeping snake coiled around Soutaâs left arm. The aura around it gave him pressure. The rumors were true. Souta really subdued the Nine-Headed Hydra.
âSomethings happenâŠâ Souta smiled and didnât explain clearly. Itâs better to leave these things to their imagination.
âAnyway, the contribution you earn in this time is huge. I think that you will be able to promote your squad soon.â Carmel changed the topic.
âThank you,â Souta said politely. He looked up and asked, âGrain Leader, what about the selection of the other Grain Leaders? Is it complete?â
âYes, new Grain Leaders have emerged and they will become the pillars of our Third Set of Pallas Division.â Carmel nodded. âWe wanted to celebrate it but the situation isnât good. So the higher-ups send some of the new Grain Leaders away for a mission.â
âIn the Ruin Battlefield?â Souta asked.
âYeah, that place became much worse than before. Our legion collaborated with Hellâs Paradise, Hunter Bowl, Grains of Land, and Maidenâs Heart to occupy one region in Ruin Battlefield.â Grain Leader Carmel said. These four were organizations of the gods of Olympus.
Ruin Battlefields were the worse place on Godâs Continent. There were countless opportunities but the danger it possessed was something that normal people couldnât imagine. A bunch of countries were vying for these lands. There were no ordinary people living in that place. Only experts could last long and fight for various opportunities it possessed.
In every Ruin Battlefield, Zeus dispatched one god to guard their occupied territory to protect their interest. The other Holy Lands were the same.
It was a place where battle never ends.
âI seeâŠâ Souta nodded in understanding. He eyed Carmel and carefully asked, âGrain Leader, what about the reinforcement to Hall Plains?â
âHmm⊠Six warriors accepted the mission. You can expect to see them soon in your territory.â Grain Leader Carmel answered.
âTheir strength?â Souta asked.
âPassable. Just one squad. Weâre still waiting for other warriors to accept the mission.â
âThanksâŠâ
âDonât be like that. If what you reported is true then something is really happening in that barren Hall Plains. A Blood Sacrifice for god⊠Just what are they doingâŠâ Carmel narrowed his eyes.
Souta chatted with Carmel for a few minutes before he left the office. He completed his mission and quest, and he also harvested a lot in this expedition.
Souta went back inside his room and set up a barrier. He glanced at the system and saw that he had a total of 24 skill points. To promote his class he had to level up one spell to ten and one combat arts to ten. The [Dark Menace] already reached level 10 so it was time to improve his [Shadow Damager] spell.
With a single breath, Souta consumed the skill points he earned to level up his [Shadow Damager]. Instantly, 20 skill points disappeared.
*Ding!*
[Youâve leveled up Shadow Damager to level 6]!
This spell helped him a lot in his battle against Gerxuzs. By attacking Gerxuzsâ body and his shadow, Gerxuzs received double damage.
Souta couldnât help but look at all the spells that he had.
Spell(s):
Tier 1: [Fireball] Level 1, [Ice Shot] Level 1, [Mud Slide] Level 1, [Light Heal] Level 1, [Agility Boost] Level 1, [Strength Boost] Level 1, [Shadow Spike] Level 1, [Shadow Bind] Level 10, [Shadow Ball] Level 10
Tier 2: [Gravitational Ball] Level 10, [Dark Cloud Hunting] Level 10, [Dark Shooting Ray] Level 1, [Doppelganger] Level 10, [Shadow Damager] Level 6
Souta had a total of fourteen spells. He could cast all the tier 1 spells he had without relying on the system. Even if the mysterious system suddenly disappeared Souta could still cast the tier 1 spells.
Fourteen spells⊠It wasnât enough. He lacks skill points. Plus, he used the previous skills points he had to complete the body parts in the legacy. The Archetype and Thirteenth Sign were different from Sayaâs Archetype. The Archetype in the Legacy was completely compatible with him as it provides him with a body that could exert 100% of its power, unlike the [Archetype: Vajra Extremity] which got stuck at 50%.
Souta looked at the combat arts that he had and sighed. It wasnât enough. What he need was fifty spells and combat arts to activate another hidden function. A function that let Blood gain strength to fight higher-level beings.
Souta closed his eyes and began his energy circulation training. Best feram flowed throughout his body smoothly with the help of [Star Veins] and it slowly refined his bones and muscles.
On the next day, Soutaâs group departed.
âŠ
Dragon Council.
âWeâve taken the White Line City⊠This piece of news shocked the entire Mine Valley. They didnât expect that we would take the White Line while everybody was fighting for the three cities.â Ray, the First Head, pinched the bridge of his nose.
âThe Wingless Crow is too crafty. We didnât know that they are behind the assassination. Now that weâve taken the White Line City, the other organizations didnât hold back at all.â Jovi, the Fourth Head, swept his eyes across everybody. âThe Shackled Realm experts from other cities had begun to move. They hell bent on plundering any resources in those three cities.â
âWhat Iâm worried about the most is those organizations outside the Mine Valley. If we fight an all-out war they could seize this chance to take over our land.â Eight Head said.
This was the reason why they were trying to avoid an all-out battle. Thereâs probably another organization eyeing the Mine Valley just like Wingless Crow. The Wingless Crow wasnât an ordinary organization as it possessed dozens of One Shackle Realm and the leader strongly reached the level of Two Shackle Realm.
âWhat about I go ahead to fight for one of the three cities?â Second Head suddenly said.
The rest of the Heads turned their attention to Second Head. Second Head grinned and explained, âIâll fight an all-out war while you guys watch out the organizations outside the Mine Valley. Set up a post and connect it to each other to prevent a large army from approaching our land.â
âThen, our force will be scattered around the Mine ValleyâŠâ Sixth Head said, full of concern.
âNo, weâll follow Second Headâs proposal. Iâll use my army set up a defense and scout around the Mine Valley. They couldnât probably detect people above Solidifying Realm but it is enough to detect a large army.â Ray said. âThey wouldnât try to invade with just dozens of One Shackle Realm. An expert of that level would have trouble if they got surrounded by an army of Solidifying Realm.â
âThen, weâll have to sacrifice our people?!â Ninth Head pursed her lips, clearly dissatisfied with Rayâs words.
âWe have no choice. Itâs not that weâll fight them directly. Weâll simply use this to intimidate them so that they wouldnât rashly invade our land.â Ray explained.
âOur choice. How about we cast our vote now? Weâll wait for Seventh Headâs vote but weâll take our vote now.â Fourth Head said.
