The Archangel of Death - Chapter 112

112: Rewards and a Penalty 112: Rewards and a Penalty Chapter 112 [You have killed a B+ rank vampire] [You have obtained 1,000,000,000 EXP] [You have leveled up x3] [EXP 37,880,000370,000,000] [LV: 187] How far have I come.

I killed the same ranked elder vampire and I obtained so much yet killing this one didn’t get me anything special.

Also, the biggest disappointment was my increase in level.

Killing the same level of the enemy had elevated my level by almost a hundred yet it only increased by a three this time.

It was a pity but there was nothing I could do until I leveled up all the way to level 200 when the system would update and grant me a change in EXP.

I moved on since there was no use lamenting about it.

Besides, what I was really excited about was the quest completion.

[Quest complete] [The Predators and the Protector] [You have leveled up x10] [You have received Vampire blood essence x2] [You have received Demonic essence x2] [Your CHR has increased by 30] [Your INT has increased by 30] [You have received a ring of infinity] DAMN!!

I couldn’t help but be immensely surprised at the rewards.

Just the level and stat increase were amazing but the blood essences of both species were something I welcomed a lot.

Not to mention the ring of infinity.

Of course, it wouldn’t be infinite like my inventory but it would be a good subspace treasure.

Its price in the shop was ten billion gold coins so it was an amazing surprise getting it for this one but I guess that’s an impossible grade quest for you.

[Name: Adrian Von Deus Lux LV: 197 [EXP 37,880,000470,000,000] Age: 16 Race: Human HP: 20002000 MP: 19701970 STR: 260 AGI: 260 END: 345 PER: 260 INT: 500 CHR: 330 LUCK: 210 AP: 0] The rewards till now would have been enough but that wasn’t all of it.

[Skill ‘High heal has leveled up x2] [Skill ‘Moon shift vitality’ has leveled up x2] Just how much were they used that they leveled up by so much in this short amount of time?

Anyway, it wasn’t a bad thing for me and part of the good news so I moved on.

[Your base INT has reached 500] [As a bonus, 500 MP is added to your base MP] Another pleasant surprise that I couldn’t help but be happy about.

Since INT is closely linked with MP, of course when my INT would reach a certain mark, my MP would also be affected.

I suspected that END was connected to the skill of regenerations in that same way but I couldn’t say for sure.

Moving on to the next point and the one I was happiest about was this.

An achievement.

[Congratulations] [You have obtained an achievement] [Achievement: Love Blocker Block an opportunity for love.

Are you an enemy of cupids?

Another name can be given to the achievement, right?] [Reward: All stats +50] This confirmed my theory of achievements.

As I said, this kidnapping was a major incident in which Sera and Sasha, both were kidnapped along with a few others and an elite team had to rescue them covertly.

One of those rescuers was none other than Eric who I had no idea how he landed the place in that team despite being a B-.

Anyway, that was the main incident that caused buds of love to blossom in Sasha’s heart and they were for none other than our sweet Eric.

Now that that hasn’t happened, it is obvious that no feelings have taken place in Sasha’s heart which means an opportunity for Eric has been taken away by me hence the achievement.

I was still a bit skeptical about this and just to be sure, I will conduct a last experiment in the third test if it wasn’t canceled.

All in all, everything was good.

It was a bummer I couldn’t level up to two hundred but I have an idea for that as well.

Soon, the vacations would begin and I will straight away go to one place where I can deal with this problem of mine.

‘Why don’t you go ahead and hit me with it?’ I asked Allison in my mind.

After all this happy news, it was now time for the bad one.

Allison had been holding it back but it was time to be hit by the hatchet.

[Soul damage at 50%] [A penalty would be applied to the user] [All stats reduced by half] [Fix the damage to remove the penalty] As soon as the message appeared, I felt terribly weakened.

It wasn’t to the fact that it would be too overwhelming to handle.

I mean my physical stats were still at the beginning of C- rank and as for my INT, it was in the realm of B+ and that was a miracle.

The bummer was that my MP and HP had halved as well.

All in all, I was in the average rank of C for now which brought me to the same level as my classmates for now.

I wasn’t too much worried about this penalty.

Soul damage was pretty easy to recover from once I obtained soul power.

The problem was that since I was doing the Penta enhancement array, I would have to wait until the fourth step.

I hadn’t even begun the third step yet so doing the fourth step was still at least four to five months away.

This also means that I would have to attend the tournament of the academy in this weakened state which brought my chances of winning to about 50%.

I wasn’t presumptuous enough to think that I was the only talented person in this novel.

The apostles may be a joke but they are all very talented as well.

To the point that if all of them attack me at once in my prime condition, they can overwhelm me with a good advantage.

After analyzing everything, I simply sat in a chair on the balcony and began to enjoy the serenity of the night.

I didn’t want to constantly worry about everything.

When I was given a brief moment of peace, I should take it and forget about everything else.

Besides, I doubt an opportunity like this would come again since I was about to get busy from now on.

[Busy how?] ‘Well, up until now, I had been too uninvolved.’ I had decided to keep myself far from the main storyline as much as I could but that got Laura in danger.

It might put Alicia or Rose in danger as well.

Not forgetting the fact that Alicia and Rose are closely linked to the main storyline.

They are bound to get in danger and I can’t have that hence I would also be getting myself involved in this joke of a sh*tshow.

The story would get messed up?

I don’t care.

I didn’t care the moment I decided to get out of that bed and heal myself.

It changed the moment I did my first quest.

So I sure as hell don’t care if it gets messed up now.

‘It is time to strengthen myself to the limit.

No mercy for anyone and no consideration for anything.’ I will take what I want.

From whomever I want.

The time to stay on the sidelines is finished.

[And here I thought you won’t let your desires get to you] ‘I haven’t.

I would simply act on my nature.’ The nature of conquerors.

No one can take anything from you if no one to take remains.

====== “Your Highness!!!” Rose leaped at me with proper emotions.

I didn’t dodge or more likely that I couldn’t.

well, whatever, why in the hell would I dodge the embrace of a beautiful and well-blessed girl?

In fact, I welcome it.

Hmm…the softness.

[Creep] ‘As long as I can get this treatment every day, I’m more than willing to become a creep.’ And the best part was, there were two more beauties waiting to give me the same treatment.

Ahh… I’m the happiest man in the world.

“It’s good to see you are awake.

How are you feeling?” My happy moment was oh so rudely interrupted by the first elder.

Seriously, couldn’t he have waited for a day or two?

What was so urgent that he had to destroy a good man’s happy and lovely moments?

“Yes, I am.” I made sure to relay my unhappiness in my tone so he would understand that it is wrong for a man to interrupt another man’s blessed moments.

“You seem to be unhappy about something.” The first elder admitted but before I could say, ‘It’s fine,’ he added, “But I couldn’t care less about whatever it is.” ‘Would you look at the audacity of this old man?’ I was shocked at the shamelessness of the old man but I decided to be the bigger person and let it go.

“So, what do you need that is so urgent?” I asked as he settled down on a couch.

Before getting to the main point, he made sure to point out, “You don’t look so good.” My complexion was very well faded and my eyes were a bit sunken.

Not to mention, I looked like a cancer patient with my shriveled flesh in some places.

“Nothing to worry about.

It will be fixed in a few months.” I didn’t dwell on it too much and moved on after a simple reassurance.

“I see.” He also didn’t pursue the issue and moved on to the main subject.

He told me about the agreement of the world leaders and to be honest, I wasn’t very impressed how they had handled the issue.

But I wasn’t them.

The agreement was between them, not with me.

If they weren’t wise enough to find proper evidence to extort the kingdoms, I was all the more cunning to have all the cards in my hands before any kind of negotiation.

“Set up a meeting after four days when the exams are done and one day before the vacations begin.

Also, look into a few things for me but I need you to forget about the empire for a moment and focus on the bigger picture.” I asked him to arrange everything and ended it with a warning.

Raphael was a loyal character and I admired that.

But when that loyalty got into my way of doing things, it was hardly admirable to me.

So I needed him to forget about that for now and focus on the bigger picture.

I would get him a lot more than just simple justice if he were to go with me on this one.

===== Four days passed by in a flash.

Just before the meeting, the first elder came to me.

His expression was not so good but at least he wasn’t yelling.

“I’m assuming you found everything I need?” I posed a question that wasn’t much of a question given his anger at the moment.

“This… This isn’t…” He began but couldn’t form proper words so I finished it for him, “This isn’t right.

I know.

And trust me, for that, they will pay just not today.” “But—” He began to argue but I interrupted him, “If we act now we lose everything!

You want them to pay for what they did, then keep it in.

The moment you let them know you know anything; they will do everything they can in their power to deal with it.

There is a difference between you knowing and me knowing.

The most I can do is blackmail them into doing my bidding.

You on the other hand can wipe them out.

Your threat is greater than mine so I need them to lower their guards as much as they can.” I took my time to explain everything to him.

In the end, he wasn’t much satisfied but at least he agreed to go with my plan.

Besides, what I was going to do to the seven kingdoms would land us a few apostles.

What he would do would make us the enemy of the apostles.

Now if the apostles had just been anyone, I wouldn’t care but for now, the apostles are the main characters and I need them to remain alive for this story to end.

Knock, knock.

Just at that moment, a knock was delivered on my door and Rose appeared after permission.

“Your Highness, the representatives of the seven kingdoms are waiting for you.” Now I was not too fond of the sound of that.

What do you mean by representatives?

I had asked for the kings and queens themselves to be here.

What the hell were they doing sending someone else?

Not a good start I would say.

====== It felt like I had made the MC a bit too strong so I decided to add a little bit of penalty to make things a liiitttlllee bit difficult for him.

Also, I thought that recovering from such a major damage so easily wouldn’t be logical.

I’m not too fond of making things unreasonably easy for the MC.

Let me know what you think.
