BXBX NOVEL Chapter 120 New Enemy.
\'Well now that I\'m quiet, let\'s check the meager rewards I have acquired by killing this old man. I hope that his death has at least brought me something good.\'
|You have discovered a new planet. You will be rewarded with exp points. |
|1000 exp for discovering the planet of Alpheame. |
|You have discovered a new breed. 500exp.|
|For defeating and killing a new race, you received 2000 exp.|
|1000exp as a bonus for defeating a new race.|
|1000exp for killing a new breed.|
\'Hm? I didn\'t expect it. For the first time, the system really rewarded me with dignity. And I even acquired a new skill?! It\'s really unexpected from this thing.\' He says in his beard, checking his rewards with a joyful air.
|You have unlocked a new skill: the invocation of the entities of darkness (Lvl1)
|This skill allows you to summon a shadow warrior in an unknown dimension who will fight alongside you. They have an absolute fidelity toward you. |
|You have unlocked a new skill: souls imprisonment (Lvl1)|
|This skill absorbs and chains souls that you will kill in your dimension. |
|The skills of souls who are trapped in your dimension are more likely to be learned after your shadow warriors feed on them. The chances of success will increase as the level of skill progresses. |
|You have unlocked the first floor of the nameless dimension. |
|You can access the first level of the dimension and invoke a shadow soldier at any time. |
|The number of souls you can store and the number of soldiers you can summon is related to the number of floors you will unlock. |
|Storable number of souls: 01/10. |
|Number of soldiers available on level 1/50. |
|Number of shadow soldiers you can invoke 1. |
\'Sigh, I guess it\'s already not bad for a start. If I had known that I would have such a big problem instead, I would have exchanged all my exp points in IQ. Sigh, the Strength, Speed, and endurance complement each other. So my fight level will deteriorate if its stats are unbalanced. As for my IQ, it\'s a special case. Not to mention that for a mage, IQ points are just as important as mana points! In any case, I imagine that I need to update my system to have more information about this new power. But strangely, even if I have not yet fully understood the principles of the [concept of death], I can not only invoke a shadow soldier, but I can also store souls and also reach the first level. It\'s as if someone or something was pushing me to use this mysterious power. No, the right word would rather be as if this power had always belonged to me. And I can say it with certainty just by seeing the words that the system uses.\'
Usually, he tells me that I have acquired or learned such a skill. But now it tells me that I "unlocked" the skill instead of "learned". This is suspicious. even very suspicious! Not to mention that the system is a skill that only Randolph can use, to my knowledge. I would even say that it is a [concept] that is exclusive to him. In this case, how could I easily create a system with Helen who is an apostle of Sabrina? At first, I thought because Helen was special, but it\'s too suspicious that such a sophisticated system can be created just with Helen who is not Randolph\'s apostle but Sabrina who has the [concept of blood], and me who is only a simple mortal. Sigh, I\'m sure Randolph or one of his apostles always watches me through this [system].\' After a thorough reflection, this was the only explanation that Alvine had found to explain the phenomenon.
"What has bothered you since just now, master?" Sylvia asked him after seeing Alvine silent since the beginning of their trips to the Kelspian palace.
"Hm? Sylvia, have you ever heard of any Randolph? And a kind of system that can reward people after winning a battle or accomplishing any feat?" He said, trying to find clues.
She had her eyes widened when she heard Alvine\'s question. But she almost instantly regained her previous calm. "Master, where are you with the mastery of the monarch\'s power?" She asked without paying attention to Alvine\'s question.
"What does it have to do with my question?" He said, frowning. \'First Sabrina, but now she\'s the one trying to hide things from me. It becomes boring in the long run.\' He says to Himself with a thoughtful air.
"Hmm, how can I explain this to you? Simply put, only when you can bring me to your kingdom will we have the chance to address such issues away from prying eyes." She says in a mysterious tone. \'Dame Rina was right, there is indeed a spy of this kind boring on him. Sigh, the future looks bad for us. Even very bad, I would say.\' She concludes with her thoughts.
Hearing her abnormal answer, Alvine was able to confirm his hypotheses. \'The reason why Hélène does not wake up, the discomfort I felt about the system since I awakened the powers of the monarch of death all my doubts turned out to be true! This Randolph always keeps an eye on me. Sigh, this is more problematic than all my problems. It seems that I use the system but the system also uses me in turn. I really have to look for a solution to get rid of it. From Sylvia\'s behavior, I can instinctively understand why Sabrina wanted to stay on the unknown planet and why she wanted me to awaken the powers of the monarch despite my low level of cultivation. She is surely looking for a solution for this time bomb that is stuck on my brain.\' He deduces after careful reflection.
"Is the little fairy in danger?" He asked Sylvia, frowning deeply. He was naturally talking about Helena.
"You quickly understand the situation. Indeed, she is somehow in danger. You can be sure that the little fairy is a prisoner. But I advise you not to try to understand or do any research about this being. Otherwise, death will come to you in unpredictable ways. Let Lady Rina take care of the rest. For now, focus only on strengthening your soul and increasing the powers of the monarch of death. This is the only solution to overcome it. This is the only goal you need to focus on. This is the only goal you need to focus on. And also please, if you ever take any step in learning the monarch\'s powers, be sure to inform me. I will be a great help to you. That\'s why I\'m with you right now. Know that the Leaders and we the Punishers are immune to low-level mortal and divine affinities and laws. Our only weak points remain the ultimate divine laws and the [concepts]! So focus on increasing the powers of the monarch." She says without revealing Helen\'s name.
"Very well, I think I can do some things like easily summoning a shadow soldier, imprisoning the souls, and also accessing the first level of the mysterious dimension." He revealed without delay.
Hearing his words, Alvine was able to summarize the situation as a whole. The system he thought was a blessing was in fact more of a time bomb implanted in his brain than anything else. \'Worse still, updating the system is no different from raising a wild tiger who is only waiting to eat me once it reaches maturity. Sigh, why do I have so many problems that keep manifesting themselves as I go?! Now that I know that I have more affinities with darkness than anything else, I will focus only on this affinity for now. According to Sabrina, this is the only affinity that has no laws! During my fight against the Elder, I only wanted to create my clone with my shadow skill. But instead, I invoked a soldier of darkness! Just with his speed and strike force, I can say that I would have no chance against him without my skills! If a simple shadow soldier is capable of such a feat, I don\'t even dare to imagine the power of the other high-ranking officers who are on the other levels! And since the system blocks my access to this mysterious power, I must do everything possible to find a flaw.\'
"What?! Can you invoke a shadow soldier in the outside world?! It is impossible. I saw that you succeeded in your duel with the Elder, but it was only because you were in the form of a spirit in a dimension reserved only for spirits! So it is impossible for you to invoke one of these entities in the outside world with your current power. Not to mention that dark energy is necessary energy to invoke these mysterious entities. Sabrina doesn\'t know because she doesn\'t have this dark energy. But I know it because I have a good amount that eats away at my vitality every time my guard lowers." She said, stubbornly believing that Alvine overestimates himself.
"A dark energy? What is it? I had never heard of this energy before." He said in a doubtful tone.
"Sigh, it’s an energy of which I myself do not know its origin. I called it this name because I found no information about this energy and no trace of it. The amount I had absorbed in the monarch\'s heart has not yet increased but I am sure it will increase after devouring all my vital energy. Maybe others don\'t know but I who had experienced it know that this energy is more destructive than the Leaders themselves! It was perhaps because of this dark energy that the monarch of death had less vitality than any of us. His constitution and vitality were so weak that he did not deserve his title of Punisher without his army of darkness." She said with a distant look as if she remembered the past.
\'So Strange. I don\'t remember having such energy in me. Maybe it\'s related to my awakening. I still remember that the system said that the nature of my energy had mutated to become unknown energy and that if I wanted more detail, I had to update the system(1). This is the same with all the information about the competence of the monarch of death. No matter how I tried to find information, the system always ask me to update it. At first, I wanted to do it but since I didn\'t have the materials it asked for, then I had no choice but to wait patiently. But now I have the impression that it constantly pushing me to make this update. It\'s obviously very shady on its part.\' He was Thinking.
"Very well, in this case, you just have to see for yourself. But first, I think the queen has something to tell us. Maybe we arrived at the palace? We have been flying on this Ark for more than thirty minutes now. Even if it\'s not its maximum speed, I have the impression that our current flight speed is 3Km/minute." He said when he saw the queen\'s hesitant eyes fixed them occasionally.
Without waiting for Sylvia\'s answer, Alvine approached the queen. "Your Highness, are we close to our destination?!" Alvine asked briefly.
As he had planned, the queen nodded. "Indeed, the travel was shorter than expected. If we maintain this momentum, we will squeeze the capital in exactly two minutes. But if I can afford it, I can ask you that we continue with the carriage? If the people see this big ship flying over them, I am afraid that panic will settle in their hearts and will cause us more agitation than expected." She says in the form of a request.
"Indeed, I don\'t want to draw too much attention to us. I\'m going to ask Dylvia to stop the ark. We will comply with your request." Alvine replied in a humble tone without showing superiority to her
"Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Dalvine." She said in turn. \'He is more humble than I imagined. Despite his overwhelming power, he does not have the slightest arrogance toward me. I feel like I\'m conversing with a wise man.\'
