Transcendent Grade Class…
In a desperate bid of gamble, he swiped his whip once again, its tip snaking through the gaps of Demigod Gorruk's defenses.
But this time, instead of striking his mana shield, the whip swiftly formed a loop around his neck before constricting as much as possible.
Gorruk though wasn't the least bit worried about the whip.
In any case, his defense will stand strong whatever stunts the mortal pulled on him.
Not to mention his boss was already here to take care of this...
Whatever this monstrosity is.
That was what he thought. But—
'It's All or Nothing.'
Just before the peak Demigod's attack reached him, Galen shouted in his mind and infused his remaining origin mana (which is only 3 units) into the whip, focusing mainly on the loop constricting the Bull's neck.
And that was it.
Gorruk's animalistic instincts screamed at him all of a sudden.
Before he could trace the source of his dread, the whip that had been harmlessly circling his neck suddenly tightened with even more ferocity.
Only this time instead of being stopped by his celestial mana, it sliced cleanly through his barrier like a hot knife through butter, his neck following the same fate without the barrier's protection.
Just like that, within such a short time, two Demigods had died at Galen's hands, both of them killed in unexpected ways by who they considered a weak mortal moments ago.
Following Gorruk's death, a series of system notifications rang in Galen's head, all of which he leafed through within a nanosecond with his current mental strength enhanced by his more than 2K intelligence stat.
Even then, he rushed as much as possible because the Wolf Demigod's attack was almost breathing down on his neck by now.
The notifications were,
[ You have killed a Demigod (Early) ]
[ You have earned a lot of exp. ]
[ You have leveled up. ]
[ You have leveled up. ]
.
.
[ You have reached level 10. ]
*
[ You have completed the fourth and final task of your class promotion quest. ]
[ Congratulations, Master...🎉 ]
Beth took over and congratulated him with a crisp tone instead of the bland system prompts.
[ You have obtained the class... ]
[ LORD OF A THOUSAND BLADES ⚔️ ]
[ CLASS GRADE : TRANSCENDENT ]
'What the f*ck is a Transcendent Grade?'
That was the first thought that came to Galen's mind after finally seeing the name of his mysterious class that Beth wouldn't reveal to him no matter how much he asked her.
She had kept him in the dark till now saying that it was a secret.
Now that he knew about it though, it only gave him more questions than answers.
He of course knew that classes had different grades to them, depending on their prowess.
But even in his past life, as a powerful Godking, he had never heard of anything like this.
It was all new to him, even as an old monster who once stood at the pinnacle of this universe.
So his class really intrigued him.
But with his life on the line, he didn't ponder about it too long and kept scrolling down, desperately hoping to find something, anything, that would save his life from that devastating attack that could literally blow up entire continents if it landed on Earth.
