Chapter 306 - Ridiculous
Chapter 306 - Ridiculous
The first level of the Inheritance of the Blood Progenitor was passed in less than a minute!
The most shocking thing about this was the fact that this was the difficulty that was raised by a factor of 10. The Guardian of Blood observed the human in the middle of the wide Coliseum as he wondered whether the Inheritance Ground had misjudged their level of power, but confirmed the being was at the Saint Realm as a weak red light shone throughout the Inheritance Grounds, signifying the clearing of the first level.
The resounding voice of the Guardian of Blood resounded soon after.
"The first level has been cleared, granting you the rewards of the Bloodline of a Normal Vampyre, along with a set of skills that goes with it. Do you wish to claim these rewards and relinquish the remainder of the trial, or do you wish to rest and then continue?"
Less than a millisecond passed before a calm reply came from the floating Noah.
"Continue."
"I will remind you that the rewards of the first level will not be made possible to you if you choose to move forward and fail at the second level, as failure will result in death!"
A warning came from the mouth of the Guardian of Blood as Noah repeated once again with a firm tone.
"No need for rest, I will continue!"
RUMBLE!
A red light shined out as essence converged, two more lakes of blood trembling as numerous figures began to rise from them. Noah observed with shining eyes as he counted a number of similarly shaped Blood Beasts rise up, until this number reached 200!
The second level...was twice as difficult as the first one, the number of Blood Beasts simply being duplicated!
Noah smiled at the craziness of this Inheritance that would most likely not be passed by anyone that wasn’t a Vampyre with this crazy upgraded level of difficulty as he looked at the gains from defeating the first 100 Blood Beasts. When he devoured all of them, similar to the Infernals that only gifted Noah with their unique energies in the form of Skill Points, he only obtained the memories of the Blood Beasts as no [Skill Books] or [Cores] were received from their defeat.
The cause either lied from the fact that they were coagulations of blood and weren’t considered to have souls or origins, but they gave absolutely nothing compared to the Infernals that gifted him with the powerful Skill Points as a reward.
He didn’t mind this though, as the reward of a Bloodline and techniques he would receive from taking them down was more than enough!
"Come!"
He roared out as a cold light shone in his eyes, his figure flashing towards the 200 Blood Beasts that had grouped together with tight defenses as they began moving the mana in the surroundings to cast long range attacks...or they tried to, but found that they couldn’t activate any abilities!
Confusion permeated in the coagulations of blood as no attacks came out from them, the Guardian of Blood once again being stumped at what was going on as Noah’s laugh resounded. This was simply caused by another ability from the Sins under <<Absolute Sin>>. This time, it was a subset skill from the Sin of Envy, [I’m the Absolute Best]!
[I’m the Absolute Best] - Opponents are not allowed to use skills known by the user, when fighting the user. Any Unique, Ultimate, or Absolute Skills holding a lower level of power than <<Original Absolute Sin>> are negated and unable to activate.
The moment that Noah absorbed the first 100 Blood Beasts and perused through the memories, the abilities they could use were all known to him, and thus they could no longer activate those skills when they faced him!
The force of 200 strong Saint Realm beings became disordered at this junction, their bodies instead moving for close combat as they rushed towards Noah, who only greeted them with a resplendence of shining condensed stars as he cast [White Dwarf Throw] with his body glowing from the intense aura of the Sin of Pride.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Resounding explosions erupted as the Blood Beasts had their defenses ruptured by the force of a condensed white dwarf star, the force of 200 strong being taken down in an extremely terrifying manner as the Guardian of Blood looked on with a stupefied expression once again.
It admitted the strength of this human after the first level, but thought that he would at least have exhausted his strength after those deadly attacks and struggle slightly more on the second level...but he was going through enemies at the same level as himself without any issues yet again, and this time, the Blood Beasts weren’t even throwing out attacks!
The Guardian of Blood wondered if the mechanisms of the Inheritance Ground had gotten too old and were interfered with as he confirmed that everything was working normally, watching stupefaction as 200 Blood Beasts were wiped away in the blink of an eye.
"...The second level has been cleared, granting you the rewards of the Bloodline of an Elite Vampyre, along with a set of skills that goes with it. Do you wish to claim-"
"I will continue!"
A jovial voice that was full of expectations erupted from Noah as he felt like he had found something that very few would come across, and he would be able to take advantage of it in a way that only he would be able to!
His sights were already set on the highest rewards at the 5th or 6th level, even gaining the Bloodline of a Pureblood Vampyre on passing the 3rd level being something small in his eyes!
A brighter red light shone throughout the expansive Coliseum as the third level for the Inheritance of the Blood Progenitor began, this time a force of 400 Blood Beasts at the Saint Realm rising up from the lakes of blood as their reddened eyes focused on Noah.
Normally, a genius Vampyre at the Saint Rank would have faced 20 Blood Beasts of the same realm at the second level, and 40 on the third level to prove their battle prowess and intelligence.
But the difficulty was much higher for Noah... although the number did not matter as he was always faster than them, and they could not even use their full abilities against him!
What occurred next was just plain ridiculousness as the Guardian of Blood watched the unbelievable sight of one man weaving in and out of a crowd of swarming Blood Beasts at the same level as him, stupendous attacks being thrown around until not too long later, only silence reigned.
"..."
The Guardian of Blood wondered, was the 10x difficulty set by his master not enough to even make this human sweat? Had humans grown more powerful to raise such geniuses over the past millennia? Worries began to pile up as at this rate, it seemed like this human might actually obtain the inheritance only meant for the noblest of Vampyres!
The giant made of crystallized blood watched on as the forces of the Blood Beasts continued to dwindle until yet again, only a single man remained floating in the bloody skies.
A hardened expression entered the face of the Guardian of Blood as it smashed down the large spear it was holding once again, a bright red light shining out that signified the clearance of the 3rd level, and brought out the monsters for the 4th level.
This time, it was only 10 Blood Beasts that were twice as large as the ones Noah had seen before. It was a small number, but each of these Blood Beasts let out a powerful aura of strength at the Void Realm!
The fourth level of this Inheritance of the Blood Progenitor was to fight 10 beings that were an entire rank higher than the challenger, something that would normally be an impossibility!
The concept of a genius being able to fight a single being of higher rank than them was already a shocking thing to hear about, but going against 10 would only be a joke out of people’s wildest dreams.
Noah looked at the appearance of these 10 Void Rank Blood Beasts as he saw the Guardian of Blood had not even bothered to ask him if he would continue or not, a refreshing smile coming on his face as he asked.
"What are the rewards of clearing the fourth and fifth level?"
".."
The Guardian of Blood seemed muted for a second before he replied.
"Clearing the Fourth level gives you the Bloodline of a Royal Vampyre, and clearing the 5th level gives you the access to the...Absolute Techniques that were used by the Progenitor himself!"
The Guardian of Blood spoke out about the rewards it never thought this human would even come close to obtaining, its observation landing on the peculiar being that held a confident smile while looking at the 10 Void Rank opponents.
Just what being had entered his Master’s Inheritance Grounds?
