BXBX NOVEL Chapter 211 211 - Seek And Destroy
From using several of the Metamagic Techniques on the Void Bomb that he used, he managed to increase his proficiency in several of these techniques when he conjured the Spell to destroy the Divine Altar of the Demigod Kuraulyek during the time when the ritual was at its peak.
[The Unique Quest: Destruction of the Divine Altars has been updated.
Current progression:
1 Divine Altar Destroyed (Demigod)
1 Divine Altar Destroyed (Ordinary-Tier Transcendent)]
Immediately after Destroying the Divine Altar of the Demigod Kuraulyek, Samiel got the notification from the Akashic Records about the progression of the Unique Quest; as the mountain stopped shaking and countless kobolds and Dragonwrought kobolds were killed by the Spell and the explosion, which resulted from the destruction of the sacrificial ritual for the Demigod Kuraulyek.
Instantly after the explosion aftermath subsided, Samiel summoned his Undead Army and descended down on the helm of his Undead and started slaughtering the kobolds who were still in shock at what the hell had happened.
Yvraine, too, joined the fight as she was decapitating one kobold after another while heading after the Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds, who were already readying their weapons and preparing to join the combat against the Undead that were invading their home.
Sadly for the kobolds, they were still in a state of shock from the surprise explosion done by Samiel when he interrupted the ritual, so they had a much harder time in coordinating and counterattacking the hordes of Undead, which appeared like thunder from the clear sky and slaughtering them one by one.
Samiel was occasionally casting some spells, but this time he was mainly using his Ice Trident to kill off the kobolds that were coming at him as he was advancing at the Dragonwrought kobolds, which had already recovered from the shock of the ambush and were bossing around ordinary kobolds to bolster up the defenses.
Naturally, Samiel's Undead were blocking any coordinated counterattack efforts from the side of the Dragonwrought kobolds. On the battlefield, Samiel quickly tore his way to the Dragonwrought kobolds as he clashed with one of the Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds, knocking the creature flying several tens of meters away.
Fortunately, many of these Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds couldn't properly fly with their wings, which made the combat situation easier because he didn't need to shoot them down; Samiel applied to Yvraine and Ashimer, though contrary to the Frost Death Knight, they at least had something in their arsenal that would be able to bring down the Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds if they could fly.
'They are not even that strong... though considering that they are only a bit superior to the average kobolds, it should be expectable.'
Samiel thought as he ran his Ice Trident through the heart of one of the Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds killing it in a split of a second, before he moved directly to the next Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds, as he was jumping from one to another, killing them effectively, while Yvraine doing the same thing.
She was far more ferocious and brutal in her fight because she was slaughtering everything in her path with her twin swords. Yvraine was taking a lot of her pent-up anger on the primitive kobolds in her brutal slaughter, while Samiel focused more on cold and efficient killing one by one as he was disposing of the Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds.
It didn't take even ten minutes for all Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds were killed either by Samiel or Yvraine and some of those who were pretty lucky to survive were finished by Ashimer and Negash who were commanding the Undead tide that was dealing with the ordinary kobolds.
After the Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds were disposed of, the entire thing was much easier because the colonies which gave birth to the Dragonwrought kobolds were essentially depended on the Dragonwrought kobolds for leadership as they were a superior evolutionary stage of their species.
"Secure the entire mountain and clear it out of any kobold or anything that is living here."
Samiel ordered both of these Higher Undead Ashimer and Negash, who didn't say anything and went to carry out his orders. At the same time, Samiel turned to Yvraine, who was in the middle of literally tearing apart the last of the Dragonwrought kobold as she severed its wings and pierced its skull.
"This should be the last one... do you think that they would have something valuable? For everything, they had several Silver-Tier Dragonwrought kobolds and a bigger colony than the one of the Kurtulmak, which is most interesting."
Yvraine asked as Samiel nodded because he truly believed that he would be able to find good loot here, at least maybe some precious metals or something, as the Kobolds were known for being a species that liked to collect shiny things.
In a pretty similar way to dragons who loved to collect treasures, so Samiel predicted that the stronger colony of the kobolds that had even some Dragonwrought kobolds would have some valuable; thus, he sent his Undead to screen the place.
And as Samiel predicted, they managed to find a good number of gold coins which the kobolds collected, but unfortunately for them, there were no Credits or bank cards with the Credits... because from the souls of the few Dragonwrought kobolds he ate, when the kobolds found them they typically threw them away...
And the reason?
They were not precious metals, so they were worthless.
Just thinking about this made Samiel erupt with rage as he smashed into the nearby wall, cracking it apart as the entire place shook from the hit of his punch. As he was a Bronzre-Tier Eldritch abomination, Samiel's physical strength was enormous, rivaling those of the Silver-Tier Elder Species who were born with huge physical strength like Demons.
Naturally, after the Gold Coins, there was a good number of the Mana Crystals and other things that the kobolds managed to collect across the years, so Samiel gladly took them, but he was still pretty pissed at the stupid creatures that threw away the Credits.
But alas, there was nothing he could do about it as he attempted to calm down. Still, today was a pretty productive day, as they managed to clear out two colonies of kobolds, and destroyed two Divine Altars, so Samiel was thinking of retreating back to the Vault-76 for some rest. After some two days or so, they could once again depart to the Bone Mountains to continue their hunt.
Fortunately, as the infighting among various factions here was pretty common, nobody here would be surprised that somebody destroyed the kobolds and their Divine Altar. Samiel knew that everyone would presume that they were destroyed by some of their rivals or some powerful Professional who was passing by.
He also wanted to reach a higher Level because he sensed that the Mana inside his body was stable enough to push it further. For Samiel increasing Levels was getting harder and harder because after the exponentially fast start, where he reached Level 39 as he was right now, came tremendous stagnation due to various factors.
Mainly the thing he needed a ridiculous amount of Mana Crystals and the second, after every Level-Up, he required a long time to stay in that Level for the Mana in his body to properly acclimatize, as each increase of Level gave him a huge power boost to his raw power.
"We have done good work for today... I think we should go, there are plenty of souls that I obtained from which I could extract information and I want already rest."
Samiel proposed as Yvrane wholeheartedly agreed with him because she too wanted to return to the luxury of the Vault-76 as it was constructed by the Doom-Tex Corporation of the old Korias Empire with the utmost luxury and comfort in mind.
While it wasn't practical to travel for several hours here and there, it was better for both of them to sleep in the Bone Mountains or somewhere here. Not to mention, Samiel was already thinking about how to make their traveling easier and faster. If only they could capture Bronze-Tier Arrakian sandworm and ride the creature, it would be perfect, as they were best for transportation across the deserts of Sikarra.
Some of the natives of the 10th Floor, who were descendants of the Korias Empire, calling themselves Sairoks, who were living in the tribal society, were using them as their means of transportation.
They couldn't leave the 10th Floor because their bodies had long ago evolved to the Primordial Psionic Energy they obtained from the sandworms, so essentially, without the sandworms, they wouldn't be able to survive; thus they were forever forced to live on the 10th FLoor of the Tower.
Most of the Sairok Tribes lived in the central area of the 10th Floor and were outright hostile to the outsiders... partially blaming them for the decline and destruction of the Korias Empire, which in fact, wasn't that irrational, but whatever.
Samiel and Yvrriane, after disposing of the kobolds and taking anything of value, departed back to the Vault-76 and arrived this time within six hours. One hour faster, mainly because they already knew the path and could allow themselves to be in haste.
After they arrived back, the first thing on the program was taking a shower, as both of them were sweaty, but without any sexual activities as they were too tired from the weather because neither of them was taking the dunes and sun well.
After they finished the shower, both Samiel and Yvraine went to relax while watching TV shows of the Nesser Dynasty that were on Yvraine's holo-brain interconnected with the enormous television projector on the walls inside their bed chambers as they cuddled together.
Unfortunately for him, she chose some crappy romance tv show... again, though he suspected that she was doing it on purpose just to agitate him, as they were always having some sort of mental war between them so they could tease one another.
In Yvraine's case, when they were watching something together, it was always like "Forbidden Romance between Elf and Silvermoon Royalty..." a tv series with over two thousand episodes of pure garbage.
And worse off were the ones which were about interracial; those were even more, cringe that made Samneil groan in frustration when they were watching it.
Still, at least one good thing was about this ordeal; sometimes, they had a great time when they were watching it because, for some mysterious reason, Yvraine was highly emotional when watching these shows, which was most unusual.
But apparently, everyone had their own quirks.
'Just wait... next time we will be reading the copy of the Gospel or Arcanum Spell Theorem... yes, that would be it.'
Samiel thought deviously because if there was something that Yvraine hated the most, it was the magic theory, as it was endlessly dull for her. He even didn't know where they started with this little game of theirs, who lasted longest doing the thing which the other had.
