Chapter 87: Hail King Vlad!
Vlad stood upon the corpse of a Champion demon in the form of a massive beetle, his figure valiant and full of power. Streams of golden energy flowed into his body, and blood covered his sword.
The demon had tried to run away upon seeing the fall of the high demonic horde, but Vlad had taken the Champion down, gaining another massive wave of Origin Force. Now that he had broken the physical barrier that kept his body from rising forward on its own, Vlad had returned to channeling his Origin Force into his body and soul force.
There was a smile on Vlad’s face as he heard silence echoing across the battlefield, marking the end of the fight. He focused on his body, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. Despite all the Origin Force from Arasbus, three more Champions, and hundreds of demonic beasts, he was still not close to raising his fleshy body to Level 7.
"The Level System is like an upside-down pyramid; the higher you rise, the more energy you need to evolve to the next level." Vlad shrugged his shoulders as he turned around, and his eyes widened as he saw how all the soldiers were watching him.
The soldiers’ eyes were full of awe and admiration. One could not really blame them, as his plan to face the demonic horde was nothing short of amazing, and his personal power defied reasoning.
A sharp light appeared in Vlad’s eyes as he saw the soldiers’ expression. This was a perfect chance to take the next step in his plans.
"BOOOOMMMMMM!"
However, just as the young man was about to open his mouth, the deafening sound of thunder echoed across the sky. Vlad could not help but look up and saw a golden storm covering the heavens, and the core of it was right above his figure.
A strange feeling assaulted Vlad’s heart as he saw the golden storm, and before he could do or say anything, a pillar of lightning fell from the sky right into his body!
