Chapter 268: Gida Skull

Inside the treasure land,

Henrick didn't have a single clue about the things happening outside the treasure land as he was still in sleep.

Even if he was awake, he would not have bothered about the world that wants to kill him.

It's been a couple of hours since Henrick collapsed to the ground because of the side effects from eating the 'Red-coloured fruit'.

'Huh?'

Soon, Henrick opened his eyes with a frown and tried to recall what happened to him.

'Looks like I need to be careful while eating the red-coloured fruits; otherwise, I will become vulnerable even to low-level cultivators.'

As soon as he recalled that he collapsed because of the side effects from eating the red-coloured fruit, Henrick swore that he should kill all the enemies when he still had the realm-breaker effect; otherwise, he would be killed by anyone.

'Anyway, let's dissolve the traces of the 'Royal Gida bloodline' into my blood.'

Without wasting any time, Henrick thought of dissolving the bloodline.

'Ding,

Master, the system has already dissolved the bloodline into your blood.

Just as he thought of dissolving the bloodline, Henrick received the system notification giving him a pleasant surprise.

'What changes happened to my body after dissolving the bloodline?'

Since he could not sense any changes in his body, Henrick asked the system about the changes.

'Ding,

Master, you gained a special buff 'Gida skull' after dissolving the bloodline.

'Gida skull?'

Henrick frowned as he focused his gaze on those words, and soon, the complete information about the special buff appeared in front of him.

'Ding,

Special buff:- Gida Skull (passive).

Effect:- 5 percent chance of completely deflecting the attacks landing on the user's head.

Note:- Effect can be increased by dissolving more 'Royal Gida Bloodline.'

'Huh? Only 5 percent?'

Initially, Henrick expected that his strength might increase by dissolving the 'Royal Gida bloodline'; however, he got an effect that was out of his expectations.

In Henrick's opinion, that five percent will basically do nothing for him.

'Anyway, I was not relying on it to become an immortal cultivator.'

Soon, Henrick stopped thinking about it and stood up from the ground.

'It's time to go back and check the rewards and the golden-horned goat man.'

Without wasting any time, Henrick used his 'Flight' skill to fly in the air and rushed towards the small cave in which the world's entrance is situated.

'After settling everything, I need to cultivate the 'Immortal sword slash' given by Master Valen.'

While flying, Henrick remembered the 'Immortal sword slash' technique book and decided to learn it first.

Since it was a rank 7 cultivation technique, Henrick felt it would be quite useful in killing the otherworldy invaders and for his next missions.

'Swoosh'

Soon, he entered the small cave where half of the fire vine's body recovered, and it is still in the regenerating process.

Henrick walked towards the fire vine and sat beside it as he caressed the fire vine.

It took two attacks for him and practically saved him. So, he wanted to accompany it while it regenerated completely.

"Master."

As for the golden horned goat man who watched the arrival of Henrick, and after thinking for a moment, he acknowledged Henrick as his master.

Henrick had already noticed that Gaude was awake; however, he didn't say anything and only focused on the fire vine.

At the same time, Henrick was ready to use another red-coloured fruit if Gaude tried anything funny.

However, to his surprise, the golden horned young man acknowledged him as his master without any hesitation.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the master for gaining a loyal subordinate.

'Ding,

The 'loyalty window' is now unlocked for the master to check how loyal his subordinates and allies are.

While Henrick was looking at the golden-horned goat man, he received a couple of system notifications that made him surprised.

'Check his loyalty.'

He was only surprised for a moment and looking at Gaude, Henrick silently asked the system about him.

'Ding,

Subordinate name:- Gaude

Race:- Royal Gida

Original Strength:- Peak grandmaster realm 

Current strength:- Level 5 master realm 

Note:- Because of the world's suppression.

Time required to gain the original strength:- three months.

More Information:- A 'Prince in exile' of Arctur who recently learned about the actual reason for his mother's death and wants to kill everyone relating to the death of his mother.

Loyalty:- 80 / 100.

As soon as he asked the system to show the loyalty of the golden horned goat man, the system gave complete information on Gaude along with the loyalty.

'System, the number looks good. Can you give a little more detailed information on the numbers?'

Even though 80 out of 100 seemed a good number, Henrick wanted to get complete information on the loyalty window.

So, he asked the system to give him those details.

'Ding,

The loyalty window is classified into six categories.

'Ding,

1) If the loyalty is from 0 to 19, then the subordinate will kill the master when he gets the chance.   

2) If the loyalty ranges from 20-49, then the subordinate might betray the master at any moment and leave the master's side.

3) If the loyalty is exactly at 50, then the subordinate will be with the master; however, he might not try his best to fight the enemies.

4) If the loyalty is within the range of 51-80, then the subordinate will try his best to protect the master; however, he might not be willing to die for the master.

5) If the loyalty is around 81-99, then the subordinate might die for the master.

6) If the loyalty reaches 100, then you will be the only precious thing in the world for the subordinate to give his life for.

Soon, the various categories of the loyalty window appeared in front of him.

'Holy heavens. With this thing, I can rest assured that my subordinates from betraying me all of a sudden.'

Henrick knew that the system was never wrong so far. So, he believed the system is right for the loyalty window too.

'Since he had 80 points of loyalty, then he will try his best to protect me, right?'

Looking at the golden-horned goat man who was walking towards him, Henrick muttered to himself.

"Master, my name is Gaude. Thank you for saving my life."

Gaude stopped at a specific distance from Henrick and introduced himself.

At the same time, he thanked Henrick for saving his life with a bow.

"My name is Henrick."

Since Gaude introduced himself, Henrick also did the same.

"Master, since you saved my life, I will become your slave."

Soon, Gaude said some words that surprised Henrick for a moment; however, he listened to Gaude's words.

"If you have any Master-Slave contract with you, I will drop my blood on it."

Soon, Gaude finished his words.

Even though Gaude said those words deep inside his heart, he was sighing a lot because once he became a slave, there was no way he could finish his revenge.

Moreover, he was once a crown prince of the Arctur world; however, he is now becoming a slave.

Nevertheless, Gaude didn't think of not keeping his words. So, he waited for Henrick's reply.
