Chapter 270 (1/2)

The moment Lucifer cemented the pact, the Book was proain the allegiance of five supercats was done and dusted He was rewarded with a neat 2,000 experience points

A new mission instantly took its place

Main Mission: Gain More Cat Powers, Get More Supercats

Objective: Pledge the loyalty of six cats and upgrade the Book to level 6

Reward: 2,000 experience points

Punishment: None

Changes had also been made to everyone's experience levels:

Book: Level 5 (2,268 / 10,000)

Matcha: Level 5 (70 / 5,000)

Elizabeth: Level 5 (70 / 5,000)

Dust Ball: Level 5 (290 / 5,000)

Ares: Level 4 (140 / 2,000)

Lucifer: Level 1 (0 / 10)

It did not take many points for Lucifer to be leveled up, so Zhao Yao spent 1,100 points in one shot to upgrade him to level 4 (0 / 2,000) This left the Book to be at level 5 (1,158 / 10,000)

The different levels of his power helped Zhao Yao better understand Lucifer's regenerative ability In its most primitive foreneration to work

”Well, every skill is bound to have its li the next branch of Lucifer's skill tree

He picked a level 2 skill that reduced the 25 requirement to a mere 15 For level 3, he chose to learn Pleasure of Pain, which did exactly as its soross name promised The more pain he was dealt with, the e, the faster he would heal

He would never have to fear physical blows again

Zhao Yao watched in anticipation as Lucifer's skill tree branches out into level 4 Based on past experience, the new abilities introduced in this level were always ultier to see what Lucifer had to offer

The two choices did not disappoint

The first skill was called Death Holdup It could hasten the speed of regeneration by ten times when the body's condition dropped below 15 The rapid healing could last three minutes and the cooldown took 24 hours

The other option was Death Feign Like the Holdup, it could only be activated when health levels dipped below 15 When that happened, Zhao Yao's physical body would slip into a state of death He would, however, remain very much alive and conscious He could revive himself within the next 24 hours, after which the skill could only be used again another 24 hours later

Both abilities gifted him a second life However, one was clearly far superior to the other

Zhao Yao picked Death Holdup without hesitation

Death Feign was great, but it had the potential to backfire The ht find it suspicious that someone so powerful was actually dead This could invite another onslaught of attacks to make sure that Zhao Yao ell and truly dead

That would really kill him

Death Holdup was different Instead of faking death, he could avoid it altogether through unparalleled healing Lucifer's regeneration was already gloriously reunshot to the chest would not be able to take hiain be defeated by physical blows of any sort

He could welcome them with open arms

”This is not bad at all,” Zhao Yao chuckled to himself, ”Now that I have Death Holdup and Time Distortion, I don't just have a second life I have a third one”

He would never know every power that existed in the world This hy it was more crucial to be able to protect hie on the enemy

Zhao Yao turned to Lucifer

”So, what do you think? Do you feel yourself growing stronger?” he asked

The cat looked down at his paws before shaking his head ”Nope Nothing's happening”

”Well, your skill is regeneration I believe you ht need to experience a bit of pain and injury in order to feel the change…”

Bang!

Raksasha the American Shorthair had snuck up behind Lucifer and struck hih as steel

Lucifer fell to the ground from the blow, but there was no wail of pain Instead, he let out an ecstatic ed pink

Raksasha looked at him curiously

”So, do you feel stronger?”

”II don't know,” Lucifer responded truthfully, getting onto his paws quickly

He could feel hi flushed from embarrassment

”It kinda felt likelike it didn't really hurt,” he finished aardly
