My System Increases My power Every Day Without Missions and Levelling Chapter 79: Revenge

’Your suspicion will be your downfall,’ Richard thought with a grin.

When he returned to Apple Town, he strolled around for a bit before slipping into a random house that happened to be empty.

He lit his torch and casually created a shadow monster, in the form of a monkey with a body that could stand upright like a human.

Richard smiled at the sight, then placed his hand on the monkey’s shoulder.

Buzz!

He sent lightning and darkness surging forth, fusing them into the shadow monkey.

This combination of two Arcane Arts would be the weapon he used for revenge.

Of course, to harm Olivia, he needed to channel more lightning and darkness into the shadow monkey.

DING!

(Your mastery over Lightning of Darkness has increased from 19% to 31%!)

Lightning of Darkness (31%)

Richard suddenly received a shocking notification as he worked.

He beca elated, for this ant that Lightning of Darkness, which previously only exploded twice, would now explode four tis.

Naturally, this greatly amplified its destructive power.

And if even more Aether was used, it would beco utterly terrifying.

Richard drained his Aether and replenished it with Nature Spirit.

For the sake of revenge, he didn’t care about wasting Nature Spirit.

After that, he kept channeling lightning and darkness into the shadow monkey.

Twice, three tis. He drained his Aether three full tis, and that was the limit the shadow monkey could contain.

Of course, this ant the resulting explosion of lightning and darkness would be devastating.

Even a Magus at the Life Aether Realm would suffer, especially if caught off guard.

Once everything was ready, Richard grabbed a random cloak he found in the house, draped it over the shadow monkey, and covered its head with a piece of cloth since the cloak lacked a hood.

Now fully covered, the shadow monkey looked very much like a human—only a little hunched, which Richard didn’t mind.

Whoosh!

Richard spread his sensing wave across the area, and his eyes imdiately lit up.

About a hundred ters away, he found Olivia, observing the very house he was in.

Just as he expected, she had followed him.

"Hehehe, let’s begin!"

Richard stepped out of the house, the shadow monkey following behind him.

Going into a house alone and coming out with a companion—Olivia’s suspicion would definitely skyrocket.

Richard then chose a deserted street, leading toward the secret location.

Whoosh!

A flash of pink light swept past him, snatching away the shadow monkey.

In just an instant, it vanished from Richard’s sight.

He could only show a strange expression.

When fishing, one usually had to wait a few minutes before a fish bit the bait. But this ti, the fish had bitten far too quickly.

Though Olivia had already sped away with her incredible speed, Richard could sense her location through the shadow monkey.

He tried making the monkey struggle, so it would seem even more human.

But once they were outside the city, Olivia slowed down.

It seed she didn’t want to arouse suspicion from others.

When they neared the secret location, she would surely accelerate again—

Whoosh!

Richard gave chase.

He wanted to witness the explosion with his own eyes.

In the end, the woman stopped not far from the secret place.

It was as though she had begun to feel sothing was wrong with the figure she carried.

After pausing, she pulled away the cloth covering the figure’s head—revealing the shadow monkey’s face, which even smiled at her.

Olivia’s expression couldn’t have turned uglier.

And right after that, the shadow monkey suddenly swelled.

Boom!

It detonated, unleashing a massive surge of darkness and lightning that instantly annihilated the nearby trees.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Three more explosions erupted within the blast, fiercer than before.

Each one even produced a shockwave that blew away large trees, pulling their roots out of the ground.

Since this was not far from the secret location, the explosion still reached it.

People scrambled in panic, so even needing stronger Magi to carry them away.

"Who’s crazy enough to unleash an attack here?" soone wondered in shock.

Fortunately, they all managed to escape in ti.

As the blast faded into smoke, Liam—the city lord—sent a gust of wind to disperse it.

Revealed within was a massive crater, large enough to be a pond.

But the most striking sight was the tattered figure of a woman inside the crater, her body charred black in places and her hair standing on end.

She looked so terrifying that she resembled a ghost crawling out of a grave more than a human.

Even so of her flesh appeared swollen.

"Is that Olivia?" so recognized her by her aura.

"Who attacked her?"

"No idea. This doesn’t look like a fight. Besides, if she was attacked, why didn’t she dodge or counter? Even if the strike was strong, her strength should’ve been enough to evade or block it."

"Maybe it was a sudden attack right beside her, before she noticed."

"..."

Olivia moved. Though injured and her aura in disarray, she was still a Magus of the Life Aether Realm.

Wounds like that weren’t enough to render her helpless.

She could still fight, at most needing a day’s recovery with simple dicine.

Whoosh!

She leapt out of the crater and fixed her gaze in a certain direction.

There stood Richard, calmly watching her with a smile.

At the very least, Olivia’s eyes still glowed with pink light.

Yet her eyes trembled as they fell upon Richard, as though she were staring at sothing terrifying.

Richard didn’t know whether she was traumatized or sothing similar.

If she was traumatized, then that was perfect for him.

After grinning at the woman, Richard turned and bolted back toward the city.

He wasn’t afraid of her revenge—she clearly lacked the strength for it now.

The fault was hers. Who told her to be such a greedy fish?

Richard no longer knew what happened after he left.

The others didn’t know he was the cause and he went to the other side of Apple Town to wait for Athena to return.

He didn’t even wait so long before seeing the horse carrying Mr. Joe.
