“I really appreciate your help, but can I ask you, what you want in return?” He asked me, understanding my motives, that nothing comes free in this world. ‘Have you thought of anything?’ Merlin asked me and I had a thing on my mind. ‘I got a couple things on my mind.” ‘First the beast core of his ancestor and second continuous stream of the beat cores, until I merge with the consciousness of the dragon king Noob. ‘If I need anything else in the future, I'll tell him later, but right now, I can only think of these things.’ I said to merlin. ‘Do you think he will give you his ancestral beast core, just for helping him ascend the throne?’ Merlin asked. ‘Of course he won’t, but what other option does he have.’ I said because if he refuses to give me the core, he will die here. ‘You should not use iron fist from the start, if you want to acquire someone’s absolute loyalty.’ Saying this merlin showed me system’s window and a smile appeared on my lips. “For now I have two things in mi
While the beast babel was unconscious, I had collected the beast cores of beasts I have killed, and after absorbing their souls, I had accumulated +35,000 soul force.I sold some of the beast core to merlin and got +1,000 fate points from the system.I stayed in the open wilderness for an entire day as babel evolved or most specifically not just evolved but gained some additional traits which are described as ‘mutation’ in this world.Merlin had informed me while training in sea of consciousness, a normal evolution would provide enhancement to the abilities already possessed by the beast, but some beast gained additional traits from the core they have consumed, which is called mutation.In the current situation, babel has manifested the black scales all over his body while his previously ugly face has changed into a humanoid face, which didn’t fit me but it was bearable, compared to before.A unique black gem has manifested on his forehead which is a special ability of naga race, the
“No, my kingdom is not on surface, but underground this desolate land.” babel said.“So is there any hidden route to enter the kingdom or we march through the front door?” I asked while leisurely sitting on the head of babel.“There is one hidden passage beneath this cliff?” Babel asked.“I wanted to ask you one thing before we infiltrate the kingdom lord, can you really defeat my father if it comes to fight, because he is a rank 10 beasts and powerful one at that.” Babel asked.“Let me ask you one question, how long have you been secluded in this dimension pocket?” I counter questioned babel.“For more than 1,000 year.” Babel answered.“I asked you this because you beasts are all frog in the veil, beasts were meant to roam in wilderness and fight every day for their survival, kill and be killed, but what you guys have been doing, establishing a kingdom and royal family feasting on weaker beasts becoming more and more like human in a negative way.When I saw you after leaving the cave
BoooooooMI smashed the head of babel’s sister with fierce momentum I had built up from jumping from the high wall and summoned [Lightning chain] in my one hand.As I willed, the [lightning chains] extended and tied the whole body of babel’s sister and I increased the intensity of lightning shock in order to knock her unconscious.On the other side, babel has killed two guards by firing poison breath at them and strangled and crushed rest of the guards to death.Babel freed rest of the beasts from cages and as they left the cage, they ran off in the distance without thanking there savior.“For a rank 6 beast your sister is too weak.” I said as merlin showed me the level of babel’s sister.“She is not a fighter, but has the responsibility to continue the royal bloodline.” Babel replied but I knew even if she was a fighter, she wouldn’t amount to much.“Let’s collect some Intel from her shall we?” I said and placed my hand on her head giving her a jolt of electricity which woke her up.
*Flashback*“You came early than I expected babel.” My father basel spoke as he opened his closed eyes and catched 2 beast cores I have thrown at him.I was on a mission to track and kill two rogue rank 6 beasts, who have broken the rule of our kingdom and were on a run.I have been away from the kingdom for past 3 days due to a mission assigned to me and thus after returning I came to give father brief report about mission.“So you faced an assassination attempt this time too huh, did you find the culprit?” father asked.“No” I replied.“It is an indication that you are on a right path to ascend the throne, I also faced many assassinations attempts in my time but they did nothing, but to make me stronger.” My father said.“Well the competition between you and your siblings will not last more than a year from what it see and I can already see the next king of our ophidian kingdom in you, who one day will surpass me and catch up to our ancestor.” Father said motioning me to sit beside
‘This demons strength is comparable to rank 8 expert, I wonder how powerful the other demon is, who dealt with rank 10 beast in 2 moves, your mission reward will also increase when you kill them but the fight ahead of you is going to be a tough one.’ Merlin’s voice resounded in my head. “I still regret not able to kill you last time brother and thought I have to live with this regret my whole life but thank you for coming back alive.” bamel said eying babel viciously. “You killing me, a cowardly bastard like you who only know how to backstab others will never be able to defeat me even if you ascend to godhood.” bamel gave an angry look to babel than turned to me. “Who is this clown you have brought with you?” Babel said looking in my direction but I did not think my appearance was that bad. “He is the guy who will kill the clowns you have brought from outside world.” Babel said proudly standing beside me. “Is that so?” The demon Makia said levitating next to bamel, it sounded litt
“Why… why… whyyyyyyy, you bastard why did you have to return, I will kill you.” Bamel charged at babel bearing killing intent in his eyes but before he could reach him, I appeared in front of him faster than he could blink, holding fake holy sword at his neck, ready to pierce his throat at any time.He didn’t come out of his delusion, that if he had handed over the beast core to demons they would have spared him, and thus started blaming babel.Considering he was thanking babel for coming back just a moment ago, I understood he wasn’t able to accept the demon’s betrayal.“I see you didn’t like the taste of betrayal, but this is karma.” I said releasing my soul force and bamel took few steps back in fear.“Didn’t you hear what your owner said; meet us at the dueling ground.” Bamel looked at us angrily and then settled his eye on his sister barita, whom I have released from [Lightning chain] earlier and the moment demon left, she tried to sneak out of here, thinking we wouldn’t notice h
Bamel floated in the air and at his command hundreds of different shapes of poisonous mana weapons surrounded babel from all direction.Babel fired his poison breath at the weapons and at the same time the weapons hovering in the air attacked babel.Upon contact with the poison breath the weapons dissolved into thin air and the attacks at the front were absorbed by black gem on babel’s forehead but babel had no way of defending himself against the poison weapon colliding with his back other than his tough black scales.It didn’t take long for bamel to overwhelm babel with quantity of different weapon and all that was seen on the battlefield was black smoke which was the product clash of babel and bamel’s poison attack.I didn’t step up to save babel because I could still sense he was alive inside the black smoke.Without waiting for babel to recover, bamel fired an overcharged poison breath in the fog and he still had the great amount of mana reserved in his core.As name implies the
