Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System! - Chapter 189

『Ding! Congratulation. You have directly killed 7800 flesh rippers.』

The flesh rippers were creatures of darkness. No doubt, they were the nightmares of knights. A group of aura masters will undoubtedly fall if ten thousand flesh rippers happen to surround and trap them. But against mages, especially fire mages, they weren’t anything special. After all, they were extremely weak against fire and lightning.

Sunlight or anything too bright was enough to blind them, as they hadn’t been under the light of day since birth, and attacks made of fire were enough to break their defences and kill them.

Thus, engulfed by the river of fire, several thousand flesh rippers instantly met their end.

『You will now be handsomely rewarded!

『You earned the “Fire Control” skill!』

『It allows you to control the fire in your line of sight. The amount of fire you can control depends on how much mana you have. The level of fire you can control depends on the level of your skill.』

‘For now, I can only control level 1 fire since my fire control skill is at level 1. But once I level it up, I will be able to control even level 13 fire.’

Roy guessed that right.

But to level it up, he needed to actively train in it or earn skill points. However, he didn’t have the skill points needed to level up this skill, and manually leveling it up was very hard and equally time-consuming.

What was most precious for a person like him, who was running against time? It was time! He couldn’t waste his days leveling up a single skill.

‘Let’s level it up using all means if I somehow end up as an alchemist, but for now, it’s best to use it in combat only. That way, I will be able to level it up without wasting my time or skill points.’

Roy decided to actively train in it if circumstances demanded him to become an alchemist.

Before that, he was going to use the manual method to level it up, which was to increase his proficiency in battle.

He said his current level of proficiency at this skill was a laughable 0%!

The system’s notification rang in his mind again.

『A massive number of stats have been extracted from the corpses of the ones that have died at your hands!』

『These stats will be transferred to you!』

『Your strength has advanced to 120 points! Your agility and health have advanced to 110 points! Your stamina has increased to 107 points! Your mana capacity has increased to 2300 units!』

『Congratulations on leveling up your True Mage Class twenty times!』

『Congratulations on reaching the 3rd legendary level of the True Mage Class!』

『A massive amount of soul energy has been extracted from the foes you killed. It has been converted into EXP and will now be transferred over to you. 』

『You obtained 1120000 EXP!』

Countless notifications rang in Roy’s mind.

Going through them, he became slack-jawed.

Abundant joy filled him.

He had killed this many with the help of almost his entire party, but the strongest system surpassed his wildest expectations and fully rewarded him for each monster that died.

His raw strength has gone far beyond that of a weapon master.

It was already at the level of a young aura beast.

Moreover, his EXP was hovering around 1.15 million.

He didn’t know how many times he could level up his True Mage class, but he was planning to level it up till he could no more since he had so much experience.

The system called it as such, and it sounded better than Fake Mage, so he decided to call the realm he was in that too.

Clearly, he has struck it rich this time.

So, how could he not be happy?

Roy giggled like a fool for a while before turning to Arlo, whose eyes were on him.

He seemed to be inspecting and reevaluating Roy.

It wasn’t a wrong choice to give up on my fourth awakening to train and get him out there.’

Arlo snapped out of his thoughts and focused his attention on his nephew as he talked to him.

“You went back on your words and helped us.”

“It’s something I do quite often. You better get used to it.” Arlo shamelessly claimed

‘He doesn’t have a thick skin, but also a thick face.’ Roy made fun of him in his mind.

Having a thick face in the Far West Major Realm means knowing no shame.

“Was being impressed by my quick thinking and scheming mind the only reason you intervened?” Roy questioned him again.

Arlo scratched his chin. Roy was better than kids his age. He dared not deny it. What happened just now wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Many elements were involved.

To put it in simple words, Roy had read a tribe of monsters foreign to him like an open book. He hadn’t transformed the massive steam of acid into a 150-meter wave of fire until it reached awfully close to the swarm, thereby luring them into a false sense of security, which ultimately proved fatal and extinguished almost all of their tribe.

It was known that acid couldn’t melt through their thick hides. That’s why they so confidently charged ahead. But that eventually became fatal to them when Roy changed what they were overconfident about overcoming into something they had no confidence in overcoming.

More than 7/10th of their tribe was destroyed in an instant.

Even though Roy had only used the most basic of spells, he ended up destroying an entire tribe that could annihilate baronies; these were fiefs ruled by barons or Viscounts.

These types of nobility were overseen by the Counts.

Anyway, even someone like Arlo, who was clearly strong enough to deal with an entire tribe of monsters himself, was quite impressed by Roy.

The profound plan he made to overcome an adversary and the actions he took to put his plan into play was nothing short of praiseworthy.

“No, I had another one,” Arlo replied after thinking for a while. “Remember the goal of our trip? It’s to pit you against beasts of all kinds so you can understand how to deal with them, gain battle experience, and be sharpened. Humans are like soon-to-be-formed swords. They need to be hammered to become the best version of themselves. But training like this is fun if you’re struggling. If it’s struggle free, can it still be called training? You have easily overcome them. They aren’t worthy of being your sparring partners. You are too smart for fools like them to handle. How can they hammer you? That’s why I decided to put an early end to this fight, lest more of your time be wasted against them.”

“I see.”

Arlo wanted the best for him.

Roy didn’t have the heart to blame him for ruining his fun.

Meanwhile, the maids covered the two twins’ eyes.

“Why are you blocking my eyes?” Aydin tried to remove Amelia’s hand from his eyes.

“What’s happening isn’t something that should be witnessed by kids.” Delilah kindly told them the reason why their eyes were blocked.

“We aren’t kids.”

Aydin was the only one who wanted to see the grotesque scene of the rippers falling to their death.

Maya, on the other hand, didn’t raise a complaint about having her eyes blocked and her vision compromised.

‘She is a really good kid, just like the one I have at home.’ Delilah sweetly smiled. Maya wasn’t able to see it, or she, too, would have felt mesmerized like Amelia.

‘Home? I don’t have such a place.’ Delilah withdrew her smile, seemingly angry at herself.

“Don’t throw a tantrum, or we will lock you up with our master.”

“Didn’t you see how easily he took out a horde? Fear what he might do to you if we ended up reporting you for being too naughty.”

The twins were threatened. Maya didn’t take their threat seriously. She already knew Roy wasn’t the type of person to harm kids like her. She was already quiet. The other person quieted down too. He didn’t want to get on Roy’s bad side, not after seeing what he was capable of doing.

Julian was as silent as the twins because of what he was witnessing.

But eventually, his mouth opened, and profanity came out of it.

“The stunt we pulled off looks sick as fuck!”

Julian saw a black waterfall in front of him. Smoke could be seen coming out of it. He blinked. It wasn’t a waterfall. It was the scene of thousands of flesh-rippers thudding to the ground.

It was raining burning corpses!

The adventure in the Icy Cold Lands ends tomorrow!

Thanks all for reading!

Sadly, four chapters became impossible for me today too.
