Chapter 72: Unworthy

[DING]

[Congratulations! The host had killed his first destiny villain.]

[You have gained 250 counter-attack points and 1000 kill Points.]

[Reward is being generated....]

[You can choose one of the functions of the villain's system or a certain thing you want.]

"The counterattack point that I got this time is quite much compared to the pitiful numbers I have been getting before. As expected villains are the real treasure house."

"As per reward, I don't even need to look. I need the shop."Leon shouted excitedly.

[Choice Invalid! The Villain didn't have a shop.]

"What the...."

Leon's jaw dropped wide and his eyes became soulless. He felt a stinging pain in his chest as if he had been dumped by a girl he loved the most.

"This is betrayalAn ultra pro max level scan...And an epic level of betrayal."

"Why the fuck he doesn't have a shop? Or did he have it but you don't want to give it to me?"

[Host, Reno Jeffson has a choice type of villain system He gets rewarded based on the choices he makes.]

"So my Extraction power can devour that and integrate with the system," Leon asked.

[Yes, Host.]

"Suppose I get choices that I don't like and decide not to select any and do my own thing.''

[It's not possible. You have to select out of one of the choices otherwise you will get a huge penalty and the system might shut you off.]

Leon found himself standing on a double-edged sword. The reward of choices will surely boost his power but at the same time, it will put a leash on his neck.

Though he was in a way following Vesturon's will, for now, he was a free man and he didn't want to be tied by choices that may restrict him in the future.

"Remove that stupid thing and show me what I can get."

[Scanning Reno Jeffson system....]

[Extracting rewards.]

[For the first reward Host was entitled to power of the villain system according to his choice but as the villain system was found to be lacking, so host could select two choices.]

1 Epic Tier sword Blade of Chaos

2 Epic Tier Sunflower Cultivation Technique.

2 Mythic Tier Heart Calming Sutra

3 Vigor Pill

4 Breakthrough Pill

5 Divine Tier Nimbus Step

6.$10,000,000

Leon took a look at the set of choices and tilted his head.

"System, how did you change the reward by yourself? Aren't you just a tool that uses my power?"

[Host, power can extract everything if not for the restriction. And two choices are equivalent to devouring of laws.]

Leon pinched the spot between his forehead and contemplated deeply.

As he looked down at the choices, he couldn't help but look at the second.

"Am I misunderstanding something? As per the novels I read, people have to castrate themselves for this technique, isn't it? So did this guy sacrifice his dick for power?"

[No, he didn't ]

"Oh!"Leon exclaimed, hearing the system prompt.

"Take that Breakthrough pill and Nimbus step then."

[DING!]

[Granting Reward]

[Nimbus Step:A martial arts maneuver emphasizing swift, cloud-like footwork, granting practitioners heightened agility, evasion, and elevation during combat. This technique involves precise, nimble swift-flowing steps, enabling users to swiftly maneuver around opponents, and increase speed with each step while maintaining balance and control.

[Breakthrough Pill:Allow users to make a breakthrough to the next realm.

Note:Highly effective when taken at the peak of a stage. It can only be used below the Martial Ancestor Realm.]

BOOOOOOOM!

Leon, who was lost in his thoughts, almost stumbled as a huge shock wave hit him from behind. He was alerted wondering if this was Rose's attack but was stupefied seeing a huge pillar of light shooting up from the huge building.

"Damn! Don't tell me this kid died out there."

Leon glanced at the unconscious Rose.

Thinking for a moment, he shaped the Exitus into a spear and stabbed Rose's torso, pinning her onto the ground she cried out in pain.

She was barely alive and this would make sure she remained asleep here.

.......

A few moments before...

"I need to hurry. I can't let Brother's efforts go to waste."

Pushing the door, Lucein hurried his way inside to the core part of the mausoleum while ignoring the murals and runes at the outer side.

As he stepped inside, his body glowed with a dazzling light.

Lucien felt something inside him urging him to step forward. His head started spinning as a starlight glowed before his eyes.

As he stepped in, brilliant runes intertwined together, and various ancient patterns floated around like clouds.

Gentle soft hymns started playing as if the whole place was welcoming the return of its owner.

A strong potent qi rushed to the place and chanted heavenly echoes from the runes as if the whole place was alive and breathing.

Lucien's eyes darted around the place. There was no sign of piled-up gold, weapons, treasures, or artifacts. The place was cold, desolate, and devoid of anything.

Everything was dull, filled with many tombs.

The place looked more like a haunted house or graveyard than a place consisting of immense treasure.

Lucien's eyes fell on a coffin in the middle of the place. The lid of the coffin was opened and a rotting hand held a blackish spear and the sharp edge of the spear was shining in crimson.

"Is this the lost Jewel?"

Lucien muttered then shook his head and slapped himself to get out of the trance.

"Get the hang of it. Do not waste time on meaningless thoughts."

The moment Lucien's eyes fell into it, he felt a certain connection with it. The spear seemed to be calling him.

The hair on his body stood up. He could feel his blood resonating with it.

Without wasting any time, he lunged forward and extended his hand, grabbing the shaft of the spear.

A monstrous qi flooded his mind making him lose his composure.

BOOM!

Lucien's mind exploded by the influx of qi. His face became pale and his skin started cracking up.

His face paled, and he almost lost his balance when he saw the scene in the palace. His head buzzed, and blood vessels all over his body popped out and squirmed around.

A majestic figure appeared in his mind scaring the shit out of him.

It was as if he had come face to face with an ancient god, and the desire to kneel on the ground clawed at his heart!

Just as he thought that he was done for, he heard a familiar voice from behind.

"Kid, let me help you a bit."
