Chapter 455: One Man

Chapter 455: One Man



Demon villages didn't have the usual expected setup. They didn't have women and children in the normal sense, or more accurately, any women they did have were soldiers and warriors just like the rest.

As one might expect, then, they didn't reproduce normally either. Much like Dens and Mount Steles, they spawned. But unlike Dens and Mounts, their spawning was based on something known as Conqueror Points.

The more territory they claimed and controlled, the more Conqueror Points they'd have, and the more chances at evolution and increasing their army size.

But... by the same token...

If their City Stele was suddenly conquered...

...

Sylas stood over a cracked City Stele as it crumbled into motes of light. He didn't hesitate to turn it into Experience.

He had expected to earn quite a lot because these villages were quite powerful. Although most of their warriors were gone, he didn't think that that would affect the worth of their City Steles.

However, he only gained 30,000 total Free Experience. The price exchange was just the same as the first pig demon village he conquered.

That said...

[Taboo Bond]

[Level: 6]

[Experience: 0/40,000]

[Path Talent: Extricate Lv6]

[Extricate (Path Talent)]

[>Extricate <F-Rank Gold> Genes]

[>Extricate <F-Rank Bronze> Gene Talents]

It seemed that it was going to take a lot more to be able to play around with Legendary Genes. But honestly, the fact that he was so close with a mere Level 6 Profession went a long way to showing just how powerful Taboo Bond was.

'Maybe there's a flat Experience gained regardless of the Level of the City Stele. Unless it's an E-Grade Village, or a Bronze Grade one, I won't get more than 10,000 Experience...'

They had already been thrown several challenges in this Multi Quest, but Sylas made it all feel

So...

Easy.

[Leg 005 Cleared]

[Leg 006]

[The plot of your enemies has been thwarted and a penalty has sanctioned them. This will be a

free round. Deal as much Damage against them as you can within 3 days]

>[The allies of Ebonspire will be restricted to a 10-kilometer radius of their city]

>[The secret support of Ebonspire will be cursed to inaction]

Lucius' eyes brightened like torches. It was no wonder they didn't attack. In fact, they were

being forced to retreat.

If Lucius had Rune Soul, or at least Rune Enlightenment, he would be able to see the restrictions of the system falling from the skies above. They couldn't even resist as their bodies practically moved on their own, returning to their individual holdings.

This wasn't just for the humans of the Ravenclaw family, but the Sylphs of the System City as

well.

All of a sudden, the pressure the Grimblades were facing receded like a tide. Lucius stood to his full height, his saber dripping with demon blood as he looked off with a serious expression. Then, either subconsciously or on purpose, he looked toward Nathan.

Right then, he saw an expression on Nathan that he had never seen before. The man was a prankster and jokester down to his very bones. But right now...

He was unprecedentedly solemn.

And the both of them knew that this had nothing to do with Leg 006.

It was all because of one man.

Sylas Grimblade.
