Chapter 123: The Twenty-Seventh Trait — Slaughter’s Gift!
The powerhouses of the Lionheart Kingdom?
Don’t worry. They were as good as dead!
Trying to use that to threaten Ye Ze ant they had picked the wrong person entirely.
The mont he heard Ye Ze’s reply, the Fifth-Rank Class User’s face turned instantly pale with terror. “You... you want to...!”
In the next mont, the Panda smashed its fist into his already mangled face, giving him no chance to struggle at all.
【Killed a Fifth-Rank Class User. EXP 36,000 ( 100%)!】
【Ding! Your level has increased to: Level 27!】
【Infinite Golden Traits — You have gained one draw!】
Other than Sixth-Rank Hunters, Class Users did not give that much experience. But fortunately, the Lionheart Kingdom had sent a great many people to stir up trouble!
And with the Mantis, that rciless killing machine, the efficiency was extraordinarily high!
“You’re amazing, brother!”
At that mont, the battalion commander of the border troops looked at Ye Ze in delight. “I’ve been sick of those Lionheart bastards for a long ti!”
“Don’t worry. We won’t let a single one of the rest get away!”
With that, he called over his troops and quickly ordered them to encircle and kill the people from the Lionheart Kingdom.
Ye Ze gave a slight nod.
Once most of the Fourth-Rank and Fifth-Rank Class Users were dead, the ones left were only low-rank refugees, drifters, and the like. They were nothing worth ntioning, and the experience they gave was pitifully little. Letting the Demon Suppression Army handle them would save him so trouble.
Taking advantage of the mont, he casually began drawing a new trait.
In fact, after advancing to the Second Advancent, the experience required to level up had increased dramatically. For an ordinary person, being able to gain one level in a day would already be considered impressive.
But Ye Ze was still leveling at a terrifying pace. It had only been eight days since his class advancent, and he was already Level 27!
And with that ca his twenty-seventh trait...
【You have drawn a Golden Legend-grade Trait: Slaughter’s Gift!】
【Slaughter’s Gift: For every enemy you kill, you can obtain a certain reward.】
A reward for killing enemies?
Ye Ze frowned slightly. It was hard to tell exactly what that ant.
Still, if it was tied to killing enemies, then kills made by his summoned beasts naturally counted as kills made by him, the Summoner.
So Ye Ze decisively chose to test the trait on himself first.
【Trait ‘Slaughter’s Gift’ successfully bestowed!】
Soon after, Ye Ze saw a new talent appear on his status panel!
【Slaughter’s Gift: For every enemy you kill, you gain a small amount of Free Attribute Points, which can be freely assigned to any summoned beast.】
【Note: The weaker the enemy, the fewer the attribute points. The stronger the enemy, the more the attribute points.】
Attribute points for every kill?
Ye Ze was instantly stunned!
And he could freely assign them to any summoned beast... Was this ant to let him build a stat monster?
Moreover, if he gave them to Zero, then thanks to Four-Dinsional Extremity, a single attribute point would have four tis the effect!
Wasn’t this basically a plan for raising an outright nurical monster?
At that mont, he suddenly realized sothing and looked up.
Now that there was no Fifth-Rank leader taking charge, the crowd from the Lionheart Kingdom that had co to harass the border instantly lost all montum and was being slaughtered rcilessly by the Demon Suppression Army.
“Spare ! Spare my life!”
“I didn’t do anything! They said we could enter China for refuge, so I ca...”
“Don’t kill !”
Countless refugees from the Lionheart Kingdom begged for rcy, but perhaps they had forgotten how arrogant they had been when they were trying to break through China’s border defense.
The border troops showed them no rcy whatsoever. But at that mont, Ye Ze suddenly shouted, “Wait!”
Because of Ye Ze’s strength, he had already earned considerable prestige on the battlefield, and the border soldiers could not help stopping and turning to look at him.
The battalion commander of the border troops hesitated for a mont. He thought Ye Ze might have gone soft because of his youth and wanted to spare the enemy’s lives...
Ye Ze said, “Let kill them!”
Battalion commander: “???”
This was not soone softhearted. This was a damn executioner!
Ye Ze imdiately had the Panda and the Mantis strike again, their attacks even swifter and more decisive than before.
【Slaughter’s Gift — Killed a First-Rank Class User. Free Attribute Points 0.05!】
【...】
Low-rank Class Users were indeed far too weak for Ye Ze, which resulted in the Free Attribute Points they gave being very low.
But no matter how little, every bit counted!
In just a few short minutes, the several hundred people from the Lionheart Kingdom who had co to throw the border into chaos were all dead!
And Ye Ze’s gains were considerable as well... 【Free Attribute Points: 45 points!】
If he gave them to Zero, then with the bonus from Four-Dinsional Extremity, that would beco 180 points of free attributes!
That was comparable to the stats of a Legendary-grade piece of equipnt!
“This trait really is excellent!”
Just as Ye Ze was secretly delighted, Wan Feipeng and the others finally stepped forward and curiously asked him, “How did you make it so they couldn’t use their phones or caras?”
After all, if even a single photo or recording had been sent back to the Lionheart Kingdom, the enemy would have beco alert, and their defenses would have been much harder to approach.
But now, the matter had been resolved with astonishing smoothness.
Ye Ze answered casually, “Very simple. I just used electromagnetic interference to make their devices malfunction and crash.”
“???”
Wan Feipeng, Tong Mo, and Shi Qing exchanged looks, utterly incredulous.
The technological devices on Blue Star had all been improved by Machinists. They had extrely strong safeguards against interference from special abilities.
And yet under those conditions, he had still managed to disrupt everyone’s devices so quickly. What kind of technological level would that require?
Beyond the entirety of Blue Star!?
And he called that simple?
Ye Ze ignored their disbelieving looks and said, “Let’s continue.”
...
More than half of the Lionheart Kingdom’s territory had already fallen to the Fiends. Now, nearly all of its defensive forces were concentrated in Notting City.
Under the cover of night, Notting City looked like a steel fortress.
Above the steel walls, which stood dozens of ters high, three full layers of Legendary-grade defensive barriers enveloped the city, protecting it so tightly that not a drop could seep through.
Inside the city walls, everything was calm and peaceful, as if it were still a ti of peace.
Outside the city walls, refugees were everywhere, famine covered the land, and it looked like the end of the world had arrived.
“Your Majesty! Let us in! The Fiends are about to attack!”
Several refugees frantically tried to approach the steel city gates.
But in the very next second, the guards of the Lionheart Kingdom atop the wall imdiately opened fire more than a dozen tis, riddling those refugees through and through.
“I already said it! Without permission, no one is allowed to approach Notting City!”
On top of the city wall, a skeletal mage in a gray robe holding a staff looked down below.
This was one of the Lionheart Kingdom’s remaining four Sixth-Rank Hunters, the Skeleton King!
After seeing that the refugees below no longer dared to move forward, he nodded in satisfaction, then turned and walked down from the wall, preparing to return to the palace for a dinner appointnt with the king.
As he walked, he casually asked the subordinate beside him, “Nothing went wrong with the group we sent to harass the China border, right?”
His subordinate answered eagerly, “No problems. Nothing unusual has been reported back so far, which ans things must be going very smoothly!”
“Then I’m relieved.”
The Skeleton King looked smug, as if everything were under his control.
“I’d say that in less than a day, China will have no choice but to co help us deal with the Fiends!”
“Otherwise, when the Fiends launch another attack, they’ll be fighting enemies on every front. They won’t have an easy ti of it either!”
As they walked, the subordinate could not help asking worriedly, “My lord, do you think China might take advantage of our shortage of Sixth-Rank Hunters and co looking for trouble?”
After all, Dracula and Gana had gone to ambush China first. That truly had been a provocation.
Even if the people of the Lionheart Kingdom did not say it aloud, they knew perfectly well that they were in the wrong.
“Hmph! If they dare co, they won’t even be able to break through our city defenses!”
The Skeleton King gave a cold snort, utterly confident.
“I personally arranged Notting City’s defenses. The three layers of defensive barriers have all been reinforced, the city walls have been strengthened countless tis over, and the city defense equipnt is also the latest generation of technological achievent!”
“Even if God Himself ca, He’d still have to pay a steep price!”
