BXBX NOVEL Chapter 143: Best Option
So, turning into a hypocritical cult leader was out of the question.
The second option offered a huge reward: 200 skill points and 200 attribute points were a lot. That's like leveling up 30 times in a row.
It was a straightforward reward with no drawbacks whatsoever.
And given his leveling speed, acquiring this much would take a long time, even with his current power.
Plus, with that amount of skill points, he could advance his "Seed" to stage one.
This confrontation made him realize just how dangerous the world was.
He was just going about his day, driving like a law-abiding citizen, when he unexpectedly encountered a literal angel.
He was lucky that she didn't have many followers, or he would have been in serious trouble.
Having a second chance at life was absolutely necessary at this moment.
For the attribute points, normal attributes were currently locked at A+, so he couldn't increase them regardless of whether he had spare points to spare.
However, his energy attribute had a plus sign, making it the obvious choice.
As for the third option, he pondered it long and hard.
However, the thought of creating his own cult and the hassle of running one was too burdensome. He would rather eradicate all humans in sight than entertain the idea of forcing himself to mingle with them.
It's not that he was entirely against the idea of conversing with humans; he found some of them bearable, like George, Melissa, and Cyril.
But when it came to those mob characters, he get this urge to rip their heads off.
Besides, he grew stronger by killing humans, so no matter how much of a buff the devotee option could provide, he would likely outpace it because he had the system on his side.
"Option 2," he declared, opting for the most logical choice at the moment.
[System : +200 Skill Points + 200 attribute Points]
After receiving the reward, his newly available points were added, and he felt like a wealthy man again.
============
[Points]
Attribute Points: 245
Skill Points :268
Dark Dust: 33,567
Evolution Points : 0
============
'Let's start with attributes,' he murmured, eyeing the plus sign next to the Energy level.
(S+) >> (SS-) =200 Attribute Points.
"What the fuck is this shit!" Reign cursed aloud after seeing the cost. It was daylight robbery.
"System, why on earth is the cost so ridiculously high?" he asked in frustration.
[System: SS is on a different level compared to S rank. If the host reaches this level, aside from expanding the original core, another core in your body would be created, and this core could have its own unique element. By having a separate core for each elements, the host would no longer have to fit multiple elements into one, thus increasing the overall efficiency.]
With this, he no longer needed to merge Lightning Energy with Negative Energy.
If before, he had one engine using two different types of power source to boost his power. Now, with this upgrade, he would have two engines working at the same time.
"Upgrade Energy!" Reign quickly chose to upgrade; there was no need to think about it any longer.
The 200 skill points were nothing compared to the benefits he would gain from having dual cores.
[System: Creating Second Core ]
The moment the system acknowledged his request, he felt a searing pain in his chest, forcing him to deactivate his domain as he struggled to withstand the feeling.
It felt as if his chest was on the verge of bursting from the inside.
From within him, he could tell that something was forming near his energy core, and the more it expanded, the more excruciating the pain became.
But this time, he didn't scream.
Instead, he gritted his teeth and chose to endure it, every fiber of his being stretched to its limit by the torment.
After what felt like an eternity, the pain suddenly vanished, leaving behind a sense of relief.
'It's really there,' Reign exclaimed as he opened the external cover of his chest. Now, there were two round gem-like cores protruding from it. novel-hosted-MvLeMpYr
The first one emitted a dark red energy with lightning crackling around it, while the other one was still empty.
He needed to establish a connection between the two cores before he could transfer the energy.
'Let's see,' he murmured, closing his eyes to concentrate on his two cores until a link was build between them .
Slowly, he began to separate the lightning and fire energy from his main core.
Lightning and flame share some similarities, so combining them wouldn't reduce the efficiency of the second core that much.
Gradually, the second core began to glow, but unlike the main one, there was no trace of darkness.
Instead, it emitted orange lightning, crackling and weaving amidst red flames that danced as if imbued with life.
'This feeling,'
He couldn't contain his excitement , a wide grin stretching from ear to ear as he enjoyed the sensation of becoming more powerful.
In a world filled with unknown dangers in every corner, he knew that the more he strengthened himself, the safer he would feel.
He hadn't reincarnated into a safe haven where he could kick back and relax; no, this place was like playing on Brutal Mode. The more he dug deeper into it, the greater the dangers it revealed.
After the transfer he felt that his negative energy reserve was now only 35% full so does his lightning element . But he was not worried because it was recovering .
When both cores were fully charged, his total energy would almost tripped .
[System: Congratulations, Host! With the acquisition of additional energy core and enhanced energy levels, your domain has undergone an upgrade.]
>Range Cap : 100 sq m > 500 sq m
>Attribute : 1> 2
>Max Law : 1
'Sweet!' Reign chuckled to himself, having additional attributes was an icing on the cake.
It was unfortunate, that the number of law did not increase but he did not mind.
Back in his fight with the Priestess , his law did not even trigger because for some reason , she had a way to counter it .
It was something that he found annoying, but he did not let it affect his battle .And instead he just found another way to kill her.
Back to the present.
Now that he had another slot for domain attributes , he decided to choose Negative Energy, as it was his main element to begin with.
This time the process was not much of a hassle , and he quickly assimilated .
There was not much changes inside the domain aside from the clouds now become darker , and the lightning turning dark- red.
The ground beneath him also underwent a transformation, now emanating negative energy that surged from the ground like a sinister dark-red miasma.
"System, how powerful am I now? And compare my current strength to others at the same level," he inquired, eager for a detailed assessment.
[System: Peak Upper Rank Demon -Unrivaled ]
Reign nodded in satisfaction.
Now, he possessed enough power to confront those vampires.
"You'll regret sparing me," Reign declared with a sinister smile creeping across his mouth as he savored the thought of his revenge.
