Chapter 242: Crisis

(This chapter isn't edited yet)

Looking at the burning corpses in front of him, Noah was pleased. Rank C blesseds actually gave more stats than lesser blesseds.

In just a few minutes Noah had killed 4 blessed Rank C, which earned him several extra points.

Cash: $1,196,460

Level: 04, 7,951/8,000 exp

HP: 16/16

Strength: 36.2 → 37

Stamina: 18 → 22

Mana: 17 → 18

Skills:

(Hell Flames Lv 04, 591/12,500 exp.: A technique that consists of summoning the flames of hell itself. The flames of hell did not differ from normal flames, but after cleansing so many sins and so many sinners, it became the most powerful flame , having already burned the god of flames himself, making him beg Lucifer to put out those flames before he died.To increase the power of the flames of hell skill, the user must burn sins or sinners.

[Fireball] [Fire Dagger] [Fire Claws] [Ode to Joy] [Healing Flames])

(Hell Tunneling Lv 02, 274/1,500 exp.: A technique that consists of tunneling into hell and exiting somewhere else in a fraction of a second. The greater the distance, the more energy expended.

Pyakugan: After reaching Lv 02, the user learned to reduce the cost of each teleport, in addition to speed. As the user used the ability to move spatially so much, the user partially received a spatial perception even with eyes closed.)

(Hell's Contract Lv MAX: Only limited by the user's limitation, the skill can develop a contract that binds both parties to comply with everything required in the contract.)

(Hell's Summon Lv 02 276/1,200 exp: Skill used by great demons to summon armies of artificial inferior imps. Imps life is limited based on energy expended, the more energy, the longer the imp will last. Part of experience gained for killing monsters by imps, even without Lucifer's command, will go to Lucifer.

Lucifer once created an army of over 1,000,000 imps in the snap of his fingers because of the large amount of mana he possessed, in addition to the high skill level.

After ascending to level 02, the limit of imps the user can summon has doubled, although the strength of imps still remains the same.

Currently available imps: 8/30.)]

Nine stat points! A great number. For a moment Noah even considered becoming a mercenary to kill other Blesseds and get more stat points, but on the other hand, burning monster corpses in Rank C strongholds might be faster and easier than killing blessed ones.

Another thing that caught Noah's attention was when he noticed how many experience points he needed to reach level 05.

'Less than 50 points...maybe if I kill all these blessed weaklings here I'll get those points...but our difference is too big, will it work? The blessed Rank E that I killed on the way here have earned me almost no experience points... what do I do?' Noah wondered.

He didn't want to leave with so few experience points missing. Since he was already here, it was better to find a way to get the missing points and level up at once, after all, he was curious about the next skill he would receive.

Perhaps with this ability he could speed up even more the speed of rising in rank and even more quickly rising to Rank B.

As Noah wondered what to do, his Pyakugan immediately noticed a very fast movement coming from his shadow.

Without wondering what was going on, Noah immediately teleported to the other side of the room and looked at the place the attack was leaving.

But in that a crisis situation arose from him, because even if he teleported the attack did not stop, even changing position the dagger that came out of his shadow still moved at high speed before going through the fire armor he was wearing and digging a deep wound in Noah's abdomen.

Noah didn't have time to complain about the pain of the attack, there was only one method of getting rid of the person in his shadow, and that method was his specialty.

"Let there be light!" Noah yelled.

As soon as his voice left, the entire armor began to glow with the flames from Noah's body.

In a split second, that glow grew even more intense to the point of overflowing, and gradually fire began to pour out of Noah's armor.

What started out as tiny sparks coming out of the armor, in a few seconds turned into a representation of a bursting dam, but instead of water it was flames.

Noah didn't even think about what he was doing, he just knew that where there was fire there would be no shadow, so he should just flood this room with fire.

Shadow S, who was in Noah's shadow, was horrified. He never imagined that his target would turn into an erupting volcano.

Without a shadow, he was forced back to reality, leaving himself completely exposed to Noah's flames.

Amidst Shadow S's screams, a notification came to Noah's ears.

[Ding...]

But Noah didn't even pay attention to that notification.

For some reason, what was once just a weird strategy to try and get rid of Shadow S using the large surplus mana he had from burning these blesseds all over the building, now for some reason it had become a weirdly great feeling.

As if Noah had stepped into a comfortable hot spring on a cold winter's day.

All the cold he'd previously felt was gone, giving way to the incredible feeling of a warm, luscious hug.

Noah didn't know how long he had been immersed in this feeling, only when he felt his energy was finally depleting did he stop producing the flames and returned to his normal state.

Looking around confused, Noah noticed that everything around him had been burned, the walls were black, the floor was black, the corpses and furniture had turned to ash.

Only one thing remained at Noah's feet, with only slight signs of burn.
