Chapter 18 (2/2)
Mewling pathetically, it fell on the ground after he pulls out the sword. Jerking twice, it stopped moving.
“Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current lv is 29!”
With a light sensation, his slightly fatigued body returned to full status. It’s like he just took a bath in a recovery pool, it feels pretty d.a.m.n good!
Although a bunch of mooks without a speech line came out and got pummeled into dust, along with the crow that caws and was promptly wasted they gave him a material amount of exp. Though they don’t give much exp being lv10, they made up for it in numbers, even if there’s not a thousand of them, a conservative estimate would put them in units of hundreds.
s...o...b..lling into a giant ball exp, the last bird was the last sliver of exp required to push him up 1 lvl, he can chalk this up as having a fruitful trip.
Stepping on the slain crow, he dusted his shoulders before giving it a discriminating look.
It was pretty good at calling for friends, but so weak on its own. Even those skeletons and fart snakes could ram, you can’t even dodge for s.h.i.t, and you call yourself a person… oh wait, no.. youkai.
Maybe it’s because his behavior p.i.s.sed off the supposedly dead crow, but the crow suddenly started twisting intensely, it looks like something is trying to crawl its way out of it.
Seeing as the situation turned sour, he dodged swiftly to the side…
‘pa’, the crow exploded, spilling its blood all over the floor. With the explosion, streams of dark air starting condensing into a cl.u.s.ter out of its blood.
With such an odd scene happening in front of him, he was at a loss of what to do.
What is that thing? Was it due to that thing that the mook crow could command the horde of skeletons and crows?
What’s for sure, is that this black cl.u.s.ter is not the crow, since he leveled up after killing it, had he not defeated it, the system won’t give any experience, even if it did revive. Only after it has lost its ability to battle does the system grant exp for it.
In other words, if this black cl.u.s.ter is indeed the crow, then it evidently could still fight, which means it has not lost so there shouldn’t had been any exp granted.
The black cl.u.s.ter slowly grew big until every drop of green blood has turned into dark air did it stop growing and started condensing.
Briefly, a gigantic skeleton covered in dark qi appeared in front of him. It looked like the skeleton from before except it’s twice as big as him. The skeleton let out a weird laugh and along with it the dark qi echoed along with it as if it’s alive.
Youkai leader: (lv30)
A light flashed brightly from his eyes!
M2 completion requirement has appeared!
As expected, a cla.s.sic game scenario, only after clearing out the small fries will the boss appear, this is an ancient truth that won’t change for aeons….
Lightly cackling, he can feel his blood starting boil up.
“ah ah ah ah….” Surrounded by dark qi the one size bigger youkai leader derided him as if he’s a clown about to jump down from a bridge (TL: making a fool out of himself, not knowing his place), it is letting its contempt known without holding back….
He retorted in his heart, I’m not laughing at how fugly you look and you dare laugh at me?
“Ah ah ah ah…”
Doing a few somersault in the air it continued chuckling before suddenly das.h.i.+ng in front of him and swiping its gigantic bone claw at him.
Tensing up, he raised his sword and stabbed at it…
“Penng!!!”
A monstrous sound resounded from the collide between Kusanagi sword and bone claw. Held in deadlock, a ma.s.sive shockwave spread out from the event center, stirring up a wave of dust. The area around him and youkai leader began to crack radially showing the intense impact of this collision.
Keeping his sight locked on the enemy, he placed some strength into his hands and with a fling he parried the bone claw away before leaping away.
Putting a distance between them, he flexed his arms to dispel the numb sensation.
Should we say as expected of a lv30? Even with a defensive maneuver, his hand still went numb.
But this should be within expectation, lv 30 is within the range of tier 4. With a tier gap of difference, he is at a disadvantage.
Him being able to skip tiers and fight higher tier enemies before was due largely to the fact that the skirmish happened on a lower lvl. Tier 2 lv15 vs lv20 tier 3 had a big gap of abilities but it was still amendable by a few other conditions, back then it was his sword and ‘kendo master’ that got him through the crisis.
Lv25 slime wasn’t using dou qi out of carelessness and he got his hand cut off by him causing the scales of victory to tilt towards him. Had they really fought for real, the lv18 him back them would have to pay a price even if he won.
Along with the increase in levels, in the later stage, skipping levels to challenge might still be possible but skipping tiers would be impossible unless he obtained a S grade equipment.
Those discussions are saved for a later time, right now he knows that the enemy is higher than him by 1 lv and just a tier above him. He still can win!
With ‘kendo master’, ‘impeccable memory’, ‘chaotic return to horizon waltz’, kusanagi sword. All of this factors are with him, with them he’s confident he can do this!
What amount of exp will you bring me?…
So he pondered while sneering….
Sword beams, when “suck blade, motha faka” goes ranged
