The Archangel of Death - Chapter 119

119: Level 200 119: Level 200 If someone is wondering why Adrian didn’t use ‘Sacred blessing’ against the undead, then the reason is because the buff provided would be light based which would cause his body to become detectable by the undead.

===== Chapter 119 The plaza was cleared, and all the audience was in a circle, the silver knights keeping the bandits in check.

In front of me stood a B- rank bandit.

His weapon of choice was a blunt Warhammer.

He was bulky like the typical bandits in the novels.

Since he was an extra and about to die, I didn’t bother observing his appearance.

But what I did know for sure was that he was nervous.

After all, he was surrounded by the silver knights of the strongest force on the earth.

Although I had said that they would gain their freedom if they managed to beat me, what if I took my words back in the middle of a crisis?

He wasn’t wrong to think that.

Humans are like that.

and he was right not to trust me like that.

Of course, I won’t take help from the silver knights.

They won’t help me either.

But I also won’t fight these guys fair and square.

I don’t have to show how I cheat but against these scum, the honor of the battlefield was the last thing I would consider.

[Equip ‘Dagger of Desaant’] [Gauntlets of the war god Ares (Copy)] [Armor of Achilles] I didn’t equip the ring of invisibility because it didn’t provide any stat bonus besides, there was no need to show such a big card in front of such a big crowd.

And now, my cheat item.

[Venom drop of Arachne Brianne] [Rank: A+ Venom extracted from the queen of spiders, Brianne.

The venom extracted from her is highly potent and dangerous to even breathe in accidentally.

Mage Merlin hunted the Arachne Brianne and extracted her venom.

He then safely made vials of the venoms each containing a tenth of her drop.

The risk was further decreased by creating an item that can only work on one person.

With the dilution, it can only halt bodily functions for two seconds.

Death is not possible.

The venom has no smell.

The venom leaves no trace.

Consumable only one.

Cost: 10,000 coins] Basically, I was going to poison them during the fight with this expensive venom.

This venom was my choice because it was untraceable.

Very convenient for someone like me.

“Let the fight for freedom begin.” The silver knight captain who didn’t introduce himself, announced from the side.

[Sacred blessing] The bandit got into his stance and jumped at me.

Anyone could see it was a dash without a proper plan.

It was easy to dodge if not for his speed.

Still, my speed was higher with all the items equipped and under the effect of buff.

I dodged to the side and brushed the vial bottom on his back, a requirement to activate the venom.

He froze which was very brief for anyone to see.

A moment I had been waiting for.

I plunged my dagger into the back of his throat, which slowly killed him in quite a pain.

The sight was a lesson for the other bandits as well that this wasn’t a joke.

[You have gained 10,000,000 EXP] [You have gained 100,000 coins] I gained nothing special but I wasn’t looking for anything special.

Just that EXP was enough.

Of course, it was nowhere near enough for my requirement but there were a lot of these guys left.

Even just killing the B- would be enough.

There were about two hundred bandits ranging from B- to B+.

Just the B- were about 120, the B+ were seven and the rest were B.

I didn’t reap a reward but someone else did.

[Your party member Maximilian Specter has leveled up] [Maximilian specter LV 169] A whopping increase of seventeen levels and more to come.

Max was going to reach his breakthrough point today.

Pity, I really wanted him to do something special but it seems like it will have to wait until he advances to the next rank.

This means to reap maximum benefits, I would have to stop at level 200 today.

I can only hope Max doesn’t take too long to break through like Laura and Alicia but those were special circumstances.

Rose didn’t level up.

Of course, she didn’t.

She was already at rank B+ and this amount of EXP won’t do much for her.

I needed to kill all of these guys here to advance Rose to level 240 if I was lucky.

Done with a brief break, I exclaimed, “NEXT!!!” ====== [EXP 427,880,000490,000,000] [EXP 489,880,000490,000,000] I needed only 120,000 EXP to now level up.

There was a pile of bodies on one side while many bandits were now horrified by the mutilation done on them.

I cheated with each one of them, of course I did but even then, I was extra careful to kill each and every one of them uniquely.

Ripping their heart out, stabbing in the eye to pierce the brain, disfigurement, separation of a very delicate part, and on and on.

Anyway, I didn’t continue after this.

After killing sixty-two bandits, it was already evening and time for me to address the citizens in the plaza.

The citizens were stopped outside since the plaza was busy.

I stopped because I didn’t want to waste the EXP of a B- for just 120,000 points when I had a lot of C ranks at my disposal.

Of course, that would have to come after my speech to the citizens.

[Your party member Maximillian Specter is now level 192] Max didn’t reach the point of breakthrough unfortunately which meant the plan was still on.

The plan was important to gauge where Max stood.

Whether he learned something or he didn’t.

“Take the rest to the underground dungeon and keep watch over them.

we will continue this tomorrow.” I ordered the silver knights who were now quite impressed with me.

Not to the point that they would be at my beck and call, but enough for them to listen to a few small orders.

“Max, go and bring me a C rank and two C- ranks,” I asked Max who nodded and left to bring the bandits from the outside.

I also asked him to take the rest of the bandits to the clearing and sent two silver knights to guard them throughout the night.

I left the plaza and arrived at the outer plaza where the bandit minions were.

Max had picked three of the bandits while the rest were being taken away.

“Hold them,” I said and moved on to the crowd of about three hundred citizens.

That was the sole population of a city the size of Manhattan.

Just three hundred and thirty-one.

I ran my eyes through all of them and said, “Those who don’t know me, allow me to introduce myself.

I am the new castellan and the lord of Caligulas, Adrian.” I didn’t bother going into my titles and such.

There was no need to.

All these people needed to know was that I was their new lord.

I could see about thirty malnourished children who had lost all life in their eyes and just stared at me like they were dead.

The same went for some women, some elderly, and even some young people.

Skin and bones, that’s what they were.

However, there were a few well-fed people as well.

Every city has those, the people who snatch from the weak.

I began to point at exactly those people and said, “Those who I have pointed at are to stay here, and for the rest, follow my wife inside the castle.” The people just obediently obeyed me and began to move under the guidance of a happy Rose whose smile was somewhat destructive even to me.

“As for the rest of you,” I said, turning to the bully and murderer class of the city, “Well, you people are not required in my city.” [Magic canon] Heads exploded in an instant, about sixty people were gone from this world forever.

They gave no EXP which meant they weren’t even strong in the world out of this city.

Anyway, I turned to Max who was holding bandits in tow.

“Bring them to the room assigned to me, keep them there.” Max nodded with a “Yes, Your Highness,” and left with the bandits.

I caught up with the citizens and we all arrived in an empty room.

The citizens didn’t even care and did as they were told.

As if they had lost all purpose in life.

It was a pity seeing this sight but I was immune to it.

I had seen worse sights than this.

I waved my hand and many different types of food ranging from vegetables to meat appeared inside the room.

“Meat on a prolonged empty stomach can be disastrous.

Begin with something simple and soft.

Then move to the meat.” I then turned to the soldier while the citizens were fixated on the food.

Even though they were walking corpses a while ago, their body remembered the aroma of food.

“Feed them to the brim and ask them to return in the morning.” The soldier nodded and replied the same as Max and I left with Rose.

We arrived at my room and I asked both of them to leave, leaving me with the bandits.

“What… what do you want with us?” The C rank bandit asked.

I didn’t reply and simply smiled.

I equipped all my items and before he they could even understand, the head of the C rank rolled on the floor.

The rest of the two screamed and turned around to run but their heads exploded with a “Magic canon” each and their headless bodies slumped on the floor.

[You have killed a C rank enemy] [You have gained 100,000 EXP] [You have gained 10,000 coins] [You have defeated a C- rank enemy x2] [You have gained 20,000 EXP] [You have gained 20,000 coins] [Level up] [You are now level 200] Hah….

Bless.

My happiness was immeasurable when I read the number 200 in the message window.

But a lot of good news was still yet to come.

[You have gained 100 bonus APs] It was a pity.

I was hoping for 200 additional stat points but this was okay as well.

I will at least get some hope against the undeads in terms of agility.

But due to my soul damage, the increase due to stat points would only be equivalent to a 50-point increase.

I was lucky the same didn’t apply to stats provided by items so that was at least good news.

[You can now choose between authorities] [Please choose between two of the authorities below] [Authority of Fire: Monarch of flame] [Authority of Phoenix: The world of flames] [Authority of Blade: AyaAkusa] [Authority of Strength: The indestructible lord] [Authority of Telekinesis: The world of touch] [Special skill: The Seal Reversal] As I saw the list of six things to choose from, my first choice was the authority of phoenix and the authority of blade but I had no choice but to halt my decision as I saw the last one.

The rest of the authorities were monstrous as well but not something I needed right now.

Phoenix authority would allow me a diverse flame for doing many things.

Of course, its damage would be lower than the actual authority of fire but it made up for it with its vast range of skills.

AyaAkusa was a must since I needed it more than anything right now.

I was in a world of mana and I couldn’t wield it.

If I couldn’t wield it, it was difficult to deal with it.

AyaAkusa, that cut everything would cut through even mana as well so I needed AyaAkusa.

But the last one was making me choose between Phoenix and itself.

‘What is the last one?’ I asked Allison.

[A gift from your father] That resolved all the doubts that I had.

Without another thought, I chose AyaAkusa and the last skill.

[Congratulations] [You have gained the complete authority of AyaAkusa] I was ecstatic about that message because, unlike the authority of Ice, I could use all of the moves of AyaAkusa without any damage.

Of course, soul power was still a requirement for that.

[You have gained the skill ‘Seal Reversal’] [The skill is currently locked] [The user must raise his level to meet the requirements] ‘That FU**** conned me once again.’ CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Bad_Wolf_7811 Creation is hard, cheer me up!
