Chapter 260: New skill?

(This chapter isn't edited yet)

Noah was shocked to see the notifications that appeared after he burned the vampire's corpse beneath the armor.

[You received 10 agility points for burning a Rank B monster.]

[You received an ability for burning a Rank B monster.]

'A skill?! Since when is it possible to receive abilities for killing monsters?!' Noah was shocked.

[The ability was learned by 'Hell's Contract'.]

'Shit, what's going on? I received an ability and [Hell's Contract] assimilated this ability? Did I fail to gain the skill I was going to receive?' Noah asked himself in frustration, before opening the status menu.

(Devil Form Lv 01: 50/3,000exp: Lucifer was born as an angel, but he needed to be the personification of evil to meet the requirements that God had set for him to "Be the personification of evil." With the beautiful appearance that Lucifer had , no one would fear him, so thinking about it Lucifer decided to create a form where he would be truly evil, a form that would not only invoke fear in people, but also increase Lucifer's strength greatly by consuming many flames of hell.

The user will transform into Lucifer's "Impersonification of Evil" image and stats will be increased by 20%.)

*NEW* (Hell's Contract Lv MAX: Only limited by the user's limitation, the skill can develop a contract that obliges both parties to abide by everything required in the contract.

After absorbing the 'Blood Control' ability, it is now possible to force the target to accept contracts, as long as the user burns 100% of the target's blood.

For 30 minutes, the target will be required to follow all the commands defined in the contract. After 30 minutes, the target will die.

Note: Forcing targets to accept contracts consumes a lot of mana, the user must be careful not to die from not having enough mana before forcing the user to sign the contract.

Note2: Previously the ability 'Blood Control' allowed the user to control any target that the user drank 100% of the blood in exchange for 1% of the user's life energy, but because of the high compatibility with 'Hell's Contract', the ability was assimilated to an improved version.)]

'So I was lucky?' Noah asked himself, excited again.

According to Note2, Noah realized that if he received the ability 'Blood Control', even though the targets he was going to control had no time limit, if Noah used the ability 100 times he would die from lack of vital energy, or worse, even using the skill 50 times, even if he didn't die, his strength would drop a lot, which would make this skill very limited in uses, especially for someone like Noah, who gets stronger much faster than normal people, even if he does. expended 1% life energy on a target, the target would likely be discarded in a short time as it was no longer useful to Noah.

'This skill just got much better.' Noah was pleased with the ability he was given. 'The problem is that I've never received any warnings about high mana consumption, so this skill probably uses a lot more mana than any other skill I have, to the point of being dangerous, luckily I don't just rely on my mana in battles, I can pretty much burn other creatures and use those creatures' mana to use this ability for now.

With a smile on his face, Noah took off the armor he was wearing and replaced it with the armor the vampire was wearing. Even though Noah tried to burn this armor with his Hell flames, not even a small mark was left, which was probably also a Rank B item.

Compared to the Rank D Boss armor he was wearing, it was several times better.

But that pointed to another problem Noah had. The [Hell Flames] skill was getting out of date. Against Rank C monsters this was still a very powerful thing, but against Rank B monsters, it apparently wasn't all that useful. Of course, that's because the armor was very powerful, but Noah didn't know if this type of armor was common in Rank B or not, so the only thing he could do was focus on making this skill even stronger so it wouldn't become useless.

After putting on the new armor, Noah mounted the unicorn's back and left that castle. Unfortunately there wasn't any treasure hidden in there that would be of any use to Noah, so he just saved the monster orbs and left.

"Shit, without that kid it was a lot harder to keep going." The bearded warrior screamed in frustration as he attacked a skeleton with his big sword.

Skeletons were normally weak monsters, but the large amount of skeletons that kept arriving was making it very difficult for these blessed to advance.

"Even though these monsters are much weaker than the ones we fought before the boy left, their number seems infinite. If that boy could burn these skeletons with his flames everything would be easier." A warrior with a big shield was complaining as he tried to defend the team from the wave of monsters.

Unfortunately, as much as these men were just casually complaining, the team mages who heard this weren't satisfied. These warriors were treating as if they weren't doing anything.

"Shit, who do they think we are? If it weren't for us killing so many skeletons with our spells, these warriors would have already been devoured by the big wave of monsters... do they think that a single boy could do better than all of them we together?" A mage complained as he made several thorns appear in the skeletons' path, killing a lot in the process and further hampering the arrival of more skeletons.

"I agree with you. As powerful as that boy was, even he couldn't do anything useful here against so many monsters. Not to mention that his job on the team was to be an Assassin, not a wizard like us." A mage also complained.

Only the shy team healer was silent, caring only about healing the team's wounds, with no time to take offense at anything.

Ever since Noah left, the warriors kept complaining non-stop to the wizards, as if they were useless, of course, they were an old team, so these complaints were just mumbling, they wouldn't cut their friendship off because of it, but still yes, it was not something wizards were pleased to hear.

But what they didn't realize is that while Noah was on the team, he single-handedly played the role of several people, both warriors and wizards, making the invasion much easier than usual. Unfortunately it's easy to get used to something good, but it's hard to go back to how hard it was before that again.

*Boom, Boom, Boom*

At that moment, several rhythmic noises emerged from far away, in the direction the skeletons were coming. With the trembling in the ground, the blessed became even more worried about what it was, until an archer screamed. "Shit, I think it's Boss."
