Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System!

229 The Ghost that Assassinates Spirits!



“Too late.” Crackling with dozens of black electric lights, Roy brought his sword down on it.

The rough, garish noise of metal brushing against metal was produced as Ghost Chaser slid down the archer’s back, unable to penetrate it.

The electric currents gushing out of the sharp edge of its surface, however, lapped at the magic circle on its back, wiping it away.

Before it could step a single foot inside the void, its life was sucked away by Roy.

『Ding! Congratulation. You have butchered a rank-2 Armored Spirit Archer like a pig. You have gained two shards of the Arrow Force skill and seven True Dragon’s fire essences. For instilling fear into an evil spirit, you will be additionally rewarded. You gained ten shards of the Arrow Force Skill and two True Dragon’s fire essences.』

“Temper my body with them,” Roy commanded, and the fire essences he just gained were used to temper him instantly.

『Your physique has leveled up!』

『It has advanced to the tenth level of innate energy refining body! You can store 11000 units of aura in your body and another 12000 units in your inner world! Your energy bar and the rate at which you can release and absorb energy have increased tremendously.』

『Ding! It’s detected that your physique has reached the peak of Earth-grade.』

『The Grand quest “Advancing to the ranks of Dragon’s Disciple” has been generated!』

『Quest info』

The ancestral land of the Baldwins is fraught with danger, but it’s the only place where a pure-blooded can defy the rules of Gods and upgrade their physique to the sky grade. Hence why all the clan’s pure-blooded come to this place to become dragon’s disciples. Knowing this, Voss Fadington Krauss, a diabolic creature of the Ashen Ruins, turned this place into its hunting ground, hoping to hunt pure-blooded Baldwins and use their draconian blood to change its bloodline.

『Task』

-The Armored Spirit Guards, creatures born for war, with souls having nothing but anger and a desire to battle, have become weak and disdainful because of getting corrupted by it. Kill them all!

-Collect 600 True Dragon’s fire essences

-Complete all the trials of your ancestral land

『Reward』

-Evil Suppressing Draconian Physique!

“So, my guess was right,” Roy said.

“What is the grade of this physique?” Roy asked after a moment.

The system’s words rang in Roy’s mind.

『Lord grade!』

Because of what he heard, his eyes widened in shock.

Immediately, he transformed into his ghost form and ventured deeper into the long-winded corridor.

He encountered many Armored Spirit Archers en route. He assassinated them, sealing their fates without giving them a chance to resist. After killing them mercilessly, he stowed their corpses in his subspace. He obtained several dragon essences and skill shards from their corpses.

Because he had all sorts of techniques in his arsenal, some that countered the spirits hard, he was able to sweep through them quite effortlessly; in fact, assassinating them became as easy as breathing to him after he took down his 20th victim.

Roy obtained countless True Dragon’s fire essence from them, but instead of using them to temper his physique to the sky grade, he put them all aside for his quest. A sky-grade physique can’t be compared to a Lord Grade physique.

The system’s notification sounded in his ears after he assassinated another one.

『Ding! You have Collected 600 True Dragon’s fire essences. You have completed one of the tasks of your ongoing quest.』

『Ding! You have collected a hundred shards of the Arrow Force Skill!』

『Would you like to combine them to create it?』

“Yes.”

『The Arrow Force Skill has been created!』

All information about it drilled into his mind, and he learned how to create it. And he could create it. A person needed to release 10000 units of aura from his body and then instantly compress it so much and in such a way that it solidifies into something exceedingly sharp. He could store twice that amount of aura in his body. He could store 11000 in his inner world and 11000 in his body. So it was possible for him to create black force arrows or coat his weapon with Arrow Force!

“Finally, I can use Force!” Roy tightened his hands into a fist, feeling strength surging in his arms and throughout his body.

No less than 50 lost their lives in his hands before he came across a few dozen Armored Spirit Archers. They failed to notice a ghost like him, just like their counterparts. He slid beneath the carpet and moved behind them, slowly and steadily. That’s the only problem with this form. It was slower than the other two. A long-winded minute later, he reached where he wanted to be.

Suddenly, he heard them speak.

“Bad news. I can’t connect with the other groups of the solo rangers. We are the only ones left. Facts speak that they are… all dead.” The rank-3 spirit warrior looked at the others in dismay.

Every single spirit was like a family to him. Finding out that they had died, his soul ached, and he felt pained. He wasn’t supposed to have these emotions. He was a weapon of war, created for only one purpose, to test the strength of the pure-blooded. Guide those who pass to the next trial and send away those who fail. But thanks to Voss, he experienced what it meant to be human, and thus, he has forsaken its creators and abandoned the reason why he was created and became loyal to Voss.

Since Voss desired the death of the descendant of its former master, he didn’t hesitate to hunt down the pure-blooded Baldwins that came to this land 300 years ago. He hunted them down to the very last man. They weren’t as strong as the pure-blooded Baldwins that entered this land 30 years ago and the hybrid which appeared here seven years ago. They were the only ones he failed to kill. They were Badulf, Arlo, and Damien.

“There were a hundred of us this morning. How can our number dwindle down to a mere 20 in a single day?!!!” The eyes of the spirits glowed a deep red.

Angry, afraid, and pained at the loss of loved ones. That’s what they were feeling right now.
