Because Alice had given him the ring, he couldn’t help but accept it, even though the woman seed unhappy that he hadn’t told her his secret.
He was sure Alice wouldn’t be any different from other won. Her anger wouldn’t last long.
Holding the ring, he imdiately peered inside and was amazed.
In fact, there were only ten Monster Cores inside, but they were enormous, larger than an average house.
Each one emitted an energy light that seed endless.
Luis quickly realized that they were Level 7 Monster Cores, equivalent to B-rank Awakener.
To possess such a large Monster Core, Level 7 monsters likely have a height or length exceeding 500 ters.
In Velos, monsters at that level are currently considered the strongest. They dwell in the depths of forests or deserts far from human habitation.
As for Level 8 monsters, they can beco the bosses of an entire region.
And Level 9 has never appeared.
"The ring is designed to channel energy from the Monster Core inside it to the wearer, so you don’t have to take them out," Alice told Luis.
The latter nodded because he understood.
After that, he entered the nearest classroom, which happened to be empty.
The area they were in was actually a quiet zone with abandoned classrooms that had eventually beco storage for broken desks and chairs before being discarded.
Alice didn’t follow him into the classroom.
She closed the door and stood beside it to keep watch.
Inside the classroom, Luis sat on a desk.
He closed his eyes while holding the ring.
With ease, he absorbed the energy flowing into his body at lightning speed, causing his Energy Points to rise continuously, reaching 1 Million Points in a short ti.
Of course, 200 Million Energy Points were required. The process naturally wasn’t that fast.
It would take another half hour.
anwhile, many journalists were arriving at the school to cover the recent events.
Even a minor fight between two Awakeners would be covered by journalists, let alone a major battle involving many Awakeners, even if one side had only one person.
Of course, this beca an intriguing story because the lone individual used poison to attack his enemies, all of whom were from the empire.
News like this spread rapidly across the world, becoming a hot topic of discussion.
So were delighted and praised Luis, while others condemned him, mostly imperial citizens and their allies from Velos.
This is naturally a serious matter, so so imperial officials began issuing orders to arrest Luis on charges of murder, as it had been confird that several students had died.
However, so nationalist figures from Velos began raising objections.
They claid that Luis was rely defending himself against the aggressive attacks carried out by the imperial students.
They instead demanded that those who paid them to do so be held responsible.
Interestingly, so high-ranking imperial officials agreed, stating that this was the fault of those who paid them to attack Luis.
Of course, the truth cannot be determined by law.
The laws between the empire and Velos have always been unclear.
Politics will ultimately decide everything.
Luis was unaware of the commotion outside. He was focused on absorbing energy, and his energy points were now nearing 200 million.
(Energy: 197,232,339/200,000,000)
It had already surpassed 197 million. Now, he only needed 2 million more, and it wouldn’t take long.
(Energy: 200,000,000/200,000,000)
When it finally reached 200 million, it disappeared from his statistics.
At the sa ti, he began to feel sothing in his body, as if a new evolution was occurring, and it happened to his Anima after absorbing 200 million energy points.
DING!
(Your Energy Points have reached 200 million points; you have advanced to Level C!)
[Na: Luis Moonvale]
[Level: C]
[Estimated Power: 5,450]
(Battle Points: 1,400/10,000,000)
[Body: General]
(Spirit:
- Black Diamond Armor
DING!
(To advance from Level C to Level B, you need to collect 10 million Battle Points. You currently have 1,400 Battle Points from your previous battles!)
(Information: Battle Points only increase when you defeat enemies!)
The power increase upon advancing to Level C was shocking to Luis.
It matched the significant increase in his Estimated Power, which imdiately reached 5,450.
Even if he beca a Primordial Monster at Level D, his Estimated Power should not reach 5,000. He wasn’t even sure it would reach 4,000.
This is a significant transformation due to the increase in his Anima’s power after absorbing 200 million Energy Points.
However, his battles so far have only been rated at 1,400 Battle Points.
How many battles does he need to fight to reach 10 million points?
Moreover, it will only increase if he kills his enemies.
If not, it won’t increase.
’This feels like collecting points to get a reward,’ he thought.
Of course, the reality isn’t like that.
From Level C to Level B and then to Level A, what’s required is fighting until you kill the enemy, which drives the body to evolve further.
What’s called Battle Points is just sothing fabricated by the Statistics Watch based on changes in the body after killing enemies.
If those changes get closer to evolution, the number of Battle Points will increase.
From Level B to Level A, the required amount is said to be much higher.
Having money is useless here. One must fight alone.
Luis remains highly optimistic about himself because he possesses the strongest ace card.
He steps down from the table he was sitting at, tidying his clothes that had beco slightly disheveled from the energy he absorbed.
After that, he steps out and finds Alice still standing by the door.
He didn’t expect her to be willing to wait for him.
At that mont, she was staring at her phone and then shifted her gaze to him.
Her eyes looked down at him, seeming to sense the change within him even though it wasn’t visible on the outside.
"Alice, thank you so much, I owe you," Luis said to her.
Of course, all he needed to do was thank her.
Help like this was almost as valuable as a life.
Alice’s expression didn’t change because of his words. She said, "Let’s go et Mr. Zarion to collect your reward!"
Luis nodded in response and followed her as she took a step.
He received a reward that was essentially equivalent to a Tier A Weapon. It might only be Level 1, the weakest tier, but it was still a Tier A Weapon.
This didn’t an he wanted the weapon. At the very least, he would choose another treasure that might be useful to him.
When he exited the building, he found nurous journalists interviewing the students.
Alice suddenly moved quickly to get into her car and succeeded.
Of course, Luis also moved quickly after she did.
Before the journalists even noticed their presence, the car had already sped off.
"Alice, I won’t be searched by the imperial soldiers, will I?" Luis asked inside the car.
He was still unsure even though Alice said that he would not have any legal problems with Mr. Zarion’s help—no, Prince Zarion.
"You’ll see," Alice replied briefly.
She drove quickly and arrived at the luxurious residential area where Mr. Zarion’s mansion was located.
It looked as quiet as before, and the door was even slightly open.
"Co on!" Alice got out of the car quickly and stepped into the mansion.
Luis, who followed her closely, saw the figure of a handso middle-aged man whose photo he had seen online before.
He was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigar with a cold expression.
Luis was a bit stunned when he saw him because he wasn’t alone.
He was with a local middle-aged woman with curly red hair, very beautiful and wearing only a short casual dress that exposed almost all of her long legs.
The problem was that she was sitting on the middle-aged man’s lap, hugging his chest while the middle-aged man occasionally caressed her body.
Luis thought he had a fierce personality. Maybe that was true, but he also seed like a romantic man.
Fortunately, his taste seed to be won his own age. If he also liked young girls, Luis was worried he might want Alice too.
Maybe if it was her mother, he would be interested.
The middle-aged woman looked at them with the middle-aged man.
The forr smiled slightly while the latter didn’t change his expression at all.
He just kept looking cold.
However, he waved his hand to signal Luis and Alice to co over.
"Sit down!" He then gestured for them to sit in front of him.
As for the woman, she finally stood up and asked Luis and Alice, "Would you like tea or coffee?"
"Tea, please," Alice replied as she sat down.
The woman nodded before walking into the kitchen with her graceful stride.
Even Luis couldn’t help but stare at her longer.
The curve of her body as she stood was enough to make any man swallow his saliva.
"Mr. Zarion, this is Luis..." Alice said to the middle-aged man.
Even though he was a prince, here he didn’t seem to insist on being addressed by his imperial title.
