Chapter 184: New Buff
The moment the Ancient King's foot came crashing down, a pitch black tide erupted from beneath him.
Darkness spread across the ground like an abyss opening its jaws.
Then four shadowy figures appeared from four different directions, each one thrusting a sword into the Ancient King's body before racing upward along his massive frame.
Even so, the Ancient King only sneered.
"Naive ants."
His voice rolled through the forest like thunder.
"You think you can kill me with that tiny body and that broken sword? This is nothing more than scratching an itch!"
His crimson eyes burned with arrogance.
"Perhaps only a meteorite could kill me!"
Sonic ignored the mockery.
Is the damage limited because his body is too large?
His expression did not change.
He only quickened his pace.
Within a few breaths, he had already reached the top of the Ancient King's head.
The Ancient King's massive claws came swiping toward him.
But before the attack landed, Sonic had already leapt into the air.
The sword in his hand shattered.
Above the hilt he held high, countless sword fragments connected through psychokinesis, rapidly forming a sword over ten meters long.
"Breath of Darkness, First Form."
Endless darkness spread across the massive sword.
"Scattered Flash Slash!"
Sonic slashed downward.
The darkness fell like a curtain.
In the next instant, countless sharp cuts erupted at the same time.
The Ancient King, who had been roaring with arrogance only moments ago, was reduced to a pile of minced flesh in the blink of an eye.
When Sonic landed, he only felt bored.
He sheathed his sword and turned back toward the forest, ready to continue his solitary training.
Inside the sword, the system notification rang in Asuramaru's mind.
[Ding! Intense negative emotions detected from Dragon level Monster Ancient King before death. Gained 100,000 emotion points!]
[This kill obtained 50,000 Demon Power. Fifty percent will be fed back to the Sword Master.]
After the system notification ended, Asuramaru looked at his emotion points.
They had once again broken through one million.
For a moment, he fell into thought.
Everything that should be unlocked has already been unlocked.
The ten million emotion points needed to upgrade the Asuramaru template definitely won't be saved up anytime soon.
Should I try drawing?
The moment that thought arose, the system immediately asked.
[Ding! Does the Host wish to draw?]
Asuramaru's expression turned irritated.
"You already asked me. Can I still choose not to draw?"
As soon as he finished speaking, three spinning wheels appeared in front of him.
After thinking for a moment, he still chose the Diamond Wheel and decided on a single draw.
The wheel spun.
When it finally stopped, the system's voice rang out.
[Ding! This draw consumed 10,000 emotion points. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the ability: Battōzan.]
[Battōzan: Charge power to unleash a strike that exceeds limits. The longer the charge, the greater the power.]
Asuramaru was slightly stunned.
"Is my luck actually good today? I got something on the first try?"
After a moment of thought, he said, "System, give me another one."
[Ding! This draw consumed 10,000 emotion points. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the ability: Burning Blood.]
[Burning Blood: Burn the Sword Master's blood to provide an all around boost.]
"Two single draws, and both were hits?"
This time, Asuramaru was truly surprised.
His luck seemed quite good today.
Should he go for a ten pull?
For the record, I am not a gambler.
"System, give me a ten pull!"
[Ding! Consuming 100,000 emotion points to begin a ten pull.]
[Congratulations on obtaining: Thank you for your patronage.]
[Thank you for your patronage.]
[Thank you for your patronage.]
[Thank you for your patronage.]
Four in a row.
Asuramaru's blood pressure soared.
[Great Rasengan Ring.]
[Thank you for your patronage.]
[Thank you for your patronage.]
[Legendary Buff Sharing.]
[Legendary Buff Sharing: From now on, the Host can share his own abilities with the Sword Master.]
[Thank you for your patronage.]
Hearing the system notification, the corners of Asuramaru's mouth, which had been twitching from anger a moment ago, could no longer be suppressed.
Even the system could not stand it anymore.
[Ding! Host, with how fast you change expressions, it is a pity you did not become an actor.]
"Mind your own business."
Asuramaru retorted with a smile.
In his heart, he hoped Boros would arrive as late as possible.
Another half a year would be enough.
By then, if Sonic completely slaughtered the Monster Association, his strength should be able to reach God level.
But before that, Asuramaru tried sharing one of his own abilities with Sonic through the newly obtained buff.
Outside, Sonic had just returned to the training ground.
Suddenly, a method for using something called Chidori appeared in his mind.
Unlike the Breathing Style from before, this was an ability he could immediately use.
However, Sonic was not too surprised.
After all, Asuramaru had said before that as long as he killed Monsters, he would be granted abilities.
Without any unnecessary words, Sonic raised his right hand.
Following the instructions in his mind, he channeled his power.
In an instant, intense arcs of lightning erupted in his palm.
At the same time, a piercing sound like a thousand birds crying at once burst from his hand.
"Is this what they call Chidori?"
Feeling the power gathered in his palm, Sonic followed the guidance in his mind and looked toward the ancient tree in front of him.
He raised his hand and swung downward.
"Chidori Sharp Spear!"
Lightning transformed into a beam and shot from his hand.
Following the direction of his swing, it split the ancient tree in front of him cleanly in half from top to bottom.
After seeing this power, Sonic developed a strong interest in the Kirin mentioned in his mind, an ability that could only be used under specific conditions.
He took a cell phone from his clothes.
After checking the weather, he discovered that there would be a rainstorm here tomorrow.
Originally, he had planned to leave today.
Now, he was forced to stay and further familiarize himself with this new power.
Meanwhile, beneath the Ghost Town of City Z.
Inside the Monster Association.
At this time, the Monsters still inside the association did not dare go out at all.
Even the Executives were no exception.
Psykos, located at the center, was also helpless.
For some unknown reason, during this period, some of the Monsters sent outside would mysteriously disappear.
They left no traces behind.
By the time they were found, only shattered corpses remained.
There were no signs of battle at the scene.
This made the Monsters recall that terrifying legend again.
There was a great horror within the Ghost Town of City Z.
It was not only a forbidden zone for humans.
It was also a forbidden zone for Monsters.
Fortunately, this period had not been entirely fruitless.
Orochi sat upon his throne and looked down.
His fangs parted as he slowly spoke.
"Psykos, how is the matter proceeding?"
Hearing this, Psykos turned around and answered respectfully.
"A few days ago, I found some clues."
Her voice was calm.
"That man seems to have hidden himself in the deep mountains near City Z. My clone did see him from a distance just now."
Hearing this news, Orochi's gaze lowered.
"Resolve him as soon as possible."
"Understood, Lord Orochi."
As Psykos spoke, her gaze shifted slightly to the side.
There, many unexpectedly powerful Monsters had appeared.
