The Legacy System

On the 11th kill, he made some improvement once again, as he managed to reach the 8 meters range, on the 14th kill it was 7 until on the 28th kill it was 2 meters.

There were two things he had made sure off after all this time. One, the Exp and SP points he got from each kill under level 100 depended on the target's level.

Two, the more he progressed with the 'Assassin's Breath' the more difficult it was to advance again. At first, he thought that he was running towards improvement, but now he was at a snail's pace.

What he didn't know though was that a pair of eyes were looking at everything that was happening and couldn't believe its eyes.

It was like she was watching some kind of monster at work, as it should be impossible for someone to improve this skill so quickly, that made even her who thought she was a genius to look like a retard.

If she hadn't witnessed everything that happened with her own eyes, Ice would have probably never believed this to be true.

Even now as she was watching him continue on his path, she couldn't believe that this was real, not to mention just hearing about this.

If she were to know that Eric was dissatisfied with his progress she would have probably vomited blood at this guy's audacity.

With his 28th kill, Eric had managed to approach level 158 by a lot as he rested at 21567, but he was still unable to level up, as the amount of Exp needed was extremely large, about 24964.

The average of the levels of the people he had killed was around 70+ but it was still not enough. He thought that if he relied only on killing to level up, he would need to create an ocean of blood.

He would have to start cultivating wholeheartedly as soon as he could, otherwise, he would become a slaughtering devil who wouldn't be stopped.

Well, that was for the future anyway, furthermore, he couldn't fully stop killing as that was his best chance to make quick and easy SP points to use at his Legacy System Shop.

After thinking this much, he decided to finally head towards his next two targets, the above level 100 experts, the two Realm 1 beings.

With those thoughts in mind, he once again activated his newly acquired skill and started walking towards his next target.

Since this guy was much stronger than all the weaklings he had killed until now, Eric knew that he wouldn't be able to approach him as he had done with the others.

Still, he had full confidence that as soon as he managed to approach around 50 meters in range, he could kill them in just one hit, just like these weaklings.

Furthermore, only by encountering stronger targets would he be able to become stronger, and his skills in order to improve faster.

With these thoughts in mind, he kept trying to improve his 'Assassin's Breath' while approaching the first Realm 1 target.

This guy was big! Extremely big! He looked like a towering giant in front of Eric, standing at 2.5 meters, with an overly ripped body, and some big bowling ball head on top of his shoulders.

Just looking at him would make any other fighter want to run away from him, as he seemed even more ferocious than a damn bear.

What made him a bit apprehensive though was that as he approached this place, Eric felt a strange smell of sweat, and love juices, but he didn't sense any alive woman in the area.

That clearly surprised him quite a bit, and at the same time made him even more conscious towards his target and the surroundings.

When he was in the 200 meters area though he finally understood what was going on, and he couldn't help but curse this guy inside his heart.

He was lying on a blood-covered ground, with the bodies of 3 women around him, none of them being alive.

What made Eric angry enough to curse wasn't their death though, but the way these women had died, as each of them had her lower body cut into two parts.

The symmetry line of the cut was the centerline of their body, starting with their secret cave, up until their skull.

As for the weapon used to kill them, was nothing else than the guy's extremely huge shlong. He had literally pierced and cut their bodies into two using his shlong.

Eric didn't know if he should feel envious of the guy having such a big shlong or curse him to death for his sick and perverted killing method.

Eric wasn't against their deaths, but he was against this method. It just seemed like it was extremely vicious for some reason.

But then he also sensed something weird with this guy, as even though he had the lowest of the two in levels, he had a feeling that he was stronger than his own level.

If he approached this guy now, while he wouldn't suffer to kill him, this guy might still have enough strength to block his first three hits.

That would clearly create a lot of noise and trouble and make him unable to go and assassinate the other guy and test his 'Assassin's Breath' on him.

While the biggest reason he was doing these killings was to clean up this place, and also earn himself some Exp and SP points, practicing his skills was important as well.

With these thoughts in his mind, he decided to make a little diversion on his plans, and go for the other fighter first, and then for this guy.

"Hmph~! Weakling!"

The moment he decided that he quickly turned around and left the area towards the other guy, as he failed to hear a cold harrumph from the sleeping giant on the ground!

Unaware of the cold harrumph, or even the giant's words, Eric quickly made his way towards the other target, who despite being a level 112 fighter, was still nowhere close to blocking Eric's strike.

Eric managed to get in the range of 50 meters before this guy even noticed his presence. Without losing time Eric jumped towards him with the 'Silent Reaper' on his hand and made his move.

While he didn't end up headless, quite a deep red line appeared on his throat, making him unable to breathe anymore, as the next instant a red blood flower appeared over his heart.

He was dead!

Quickly cleaning his body from any valuable things, Eric didn't linger any longer, as he once again set off into the giant's direction.

Well, most probably he wasn't a real giant, but he looked like one. Furthermore with his height, and build he quite looked like one.

Even though Eric knew that his 'Assassin's Breath' wouldn't give him much of an edge over the giant, he still tried to use it, just for the sake of practice.

But when he entered the same range as earlier, he suddenly heard a heavy and hoarse voice,

"Hhaha~! I never thought that you would return, little thing! Don't tell me that you are tired of living!?"

It was surprising for Eric to find out that this guy was able to find him even though he was so far away from him, and using his 'Assassin's Breath' but he wasn't relying on it anyway, so he just asked calmly,

"How!?"

"You reek of blood! As someone who has lived his life in the warmth of blood, I can always feel the presence of a kindred soul.

You must have killed a lot as well, am I right? You should know the pleasure of the warm blood too, right!?"

Eric couldn't help but get a bit startled and surprised as he heard those words, but he could finally understand how it was possible, so he was much calmer now.

His 'Assassin's Breath' hadn't failed him, it was just that he hadn't been able to control his killing intent as he should that he had been found out.

Still, there must be something wrong with this giant's head, he seemed like some sort of blood enjoying pervert.

Eric didn't enjoy blood, he was just killing people because it was necessary to him, and his growth. If he would have a way to deal with the issues without spilling blood, he wouldn't have done so.

That guy was thinking that he met a kindred spirit, but unfortunately, he wasn't right, as Eric wasn't like him. Or at least he thought he wasn't!

After sorting out his thoughts, he finally looked towards the giant in front of him, as he said,

"Well, I don't negate the fact that I have killed quite a big number of people, but I haven't done that because I like it, but rather because it's useful to me!

So while we have done the same thing, our reasons, motives, and methods are extremely different.

I am not saying that I will kill you because I am some kind of Justice knight or some weak shit like that, I am going to kill you because it's beneficial to me!"

Hearing those words from Eric, the giant seemed extremely surprised and startled, as from the beginning until now Eric was the only one who had talked to him calmly like that.

Not only that, but while there was a bit of spite in his words, he didn't seem to judge him in the least. Even his words weren't those of a fu*cking hypocrite, making him extremely curious about this guy.

But the most startling thing about him was that he didn't seem afraid of him.. Eric acknowledged his strength but still thought that he could kill him. This was a first!!!
