Chapter 48 Part1 (1/2)
<chapter 48.=”” -=”” premature=”” family=”” plan=”” -=”” 1=””>
[You have hunted one of the 12 Generals, the Lv8 Metal G.o.d General, Arema Steelworker! All contributing heroes gain 50,000,000 Perium and all stats are increased by 100. You have acquired 15 permits to G.o.d's secret shop. Proficiency in all combat-related skills increases significantly!]
[The Wild Card skill has become Lv4. All stats have increased by 30. You can now more naturally mix your skills together and disguise them.]
[The Manatization skill has become Lv4, and Health and Magic have increased by 10. All of your skin is manatized, allowing you to use mana more efficiently. However, your physical strength is reduced by an equivalent amount. A portion of your Strength, Health, and Agility are converted into Magic.]
[The Mana Acceleration and High Rank Mana Bone skills have become Lv9, and Magic has increased by 40. You may have figured out how to wield the very source of mana. The time when these two skills fuse is nearing.]
[The High Rank a.s.similation skill has become Lv7. Agility and Magic have increased by 40.]
[You have received G.o.d's grace. The Invisible Heart skill's maximum level has increased by 10.]
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo received his rewards from the battle only after all the Chi Pauls had finished transforming into androids.
Since they ate the golems whole, he didn't receive any Perium, any metal (it probably transformed into bone), or any golem cores. However, he still managed to receive the reward for defeating one of the 12 Generals, albeit belatedly.
”My apologies, Father. I wasn't even thinking...”
”No, it was because of your Avenger karma. It's fine. I'd rather you level up than get one or two level 8 bones. You have nothing to feel sorry about, Chi Paul.”
”Father...!”
”I'd appreciate it if you weren't so touched by everything I say...”
Lee s.h.i.+n Woo felt a little guilty, since they retained their t.i.tle of 'Chi Paul', despite no longer being Chimeras, and checked how they felt. When he asked them about it, they responded with 'We like this name, since it's the name you gave us, Father!', which only made him feel even guiltier.
[You manipulated a battlefield containing the 12 Generals as you pleased and attained victory. Although you lost two of them, you killed two of the 12 Generals and brought one of them over to your side. You sowed chaos, proving your standing as a Joker!]
[You have acquired the t.i.tle, 'Compa.s.s Breaker' and all stats have increased by 30! Strength has increased by an additional 50!]
”Why do I feel like these t.i.tles keep getting more and more chuuni? Although I like how much they raise my stats.”
”...I got the t.i.tle, 'Witch who Challenges Time', and my Magic and Agility increased by 30. It's strange. The 'level' of your t.i.tles are very different, s.h.i.+n Woo.”
There was one thing that was fortunate for him. When he'd killed the Golden Shadow General, Vellun Von Dorthe, only Jin and he had gained the hero rewards, but killing Arema Steelworker had yielded rewards for Kratia as well!
However, there were still some rewards left that only Lee s.h.i.+n Woo could obtain... He was referring to the princess that was blinking her eyes beside him. Did her eyes still hurt a little bit? Lee s.h.i.+n Woo took out a handkerchief for her to wipe her tears, but then a message appeared.
[You have made one of the 12 Generals, the Lv8 Spirit General, Dana Von Etliber into your loyal subordinate, and have released her from the clutches of the undead curse. This is a greater achievement than simply killing one of the 12 Generals. This act will cause your enemies to quake in fear while also raising the morale of your allies. All stats have increased by 100. You have acquired 20 permits to G.o.d's secret shop. Proficiency in all combat-related skills increases significantly!]
[You have received G.o.d's grace. The Invisible Heart skill's maximum level has increased by 15.]
[Proficiency in the High Rank Command skill has increased. You now understand the potential that lies beyond the Command skill.]
”Ooh. I thought the 'Species Creator' t.i.tle meant I'd miss out on everything else, but guess not.”
”Isn't it because that was your reward for creating a new species, rather than killing one of the 12 Generals?”
”Ha. G.o.d's being generous.”
Following the battle, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's stats increased significantly, which resulted in his body undergoing a change; he closed his eyes gently and smiled (he'd already returned to his human form).
But if G.o.d were actually here then she'd feel awkward, as there wasn't much more that she could really do for him. Though his means were truly wicked, he'd managed to kill two level 8 members of the 12 Generals (one of them being a spy from the surface with his own secret plan) and made another his subordinate.
He'd done what none of the heroes had been able to do before all in one spot. Even he didn't know how to feel about it, but in terms of results, he was a real hero.
”Ah, shall we eat the bones we couldn't eat before? ...Jin, you want them?”
”I'm good! I'm fine now!”
Most of the bones weren't anything special, besides the Golden Shadow's leg bone. His bone was worth absorbing. With his High Rank Combat Sense skill leveling up, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo's stats increased by a little more than 120.
Furthermore, by absorbing his darkness knife, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo was finally able to able to summon weapons imbued with the darkness element! Moreover, they were more perfect than before!
”...It seems like you've gotten even further away from me, s.h.i.+n Woo.”
”He's always like this. It seems like whenever you blink, this happens.”
”So he was always such an exceptional individual. I understand.”
It was unbelievable; it hadn't been long since he'd leveled up, yet he was close to 20,000 total stats at 19,945. He'd given up on getting to level 9, as he'd felt it would be impossible, but at some point, the road to getting there had shortened significantly.
He'd grown so much quicker than before, so he tilted his head in confusion. But in a way, it was only natural. When he'd become level 8, he'd been doing the 'unexplainable' on a regular basis, causing his karma to skyrocket.
”I still need to increase my stats by about 6,000... It'll probably be difficult to get to level 9 before fighting the Emperor. Beating him should be a piece of cake if I reach level 9.”
”That's what you call greed.”
”I hope the Emperor doesn't come over here right away.”
After all, they'd just shot and created a huge blast at the capital. Kratia felt like they should run away ASAP, but Lee s.h.i.+n Woo firmly shook his head.
”You really think the Emperor could get out unscathed from that big of a blast? He can't respond right away. Moreover, there's the matter of his troops. At least 20% of his troops should've been vaporized by that blast.”
