The sky above the Lucifad Housing Complex was still dark as if it was night rather than day.
This phenomenon had been going on for an hour accompanied by the sound of ghostly screams being blasted by Issei on the street of the housing complex.
After slaughtering over 1000 ghosts, Issei was panting heavily, even an eighth-ranked martial artist also had limited stamina and Qi.
Issei had almost reached his current limit, but he still couldn't find the silver-haired woman he was looking for.
"Grayfia!! Where are you?! Your husband, coming to rescue you!!"
Shouting down the street, all Issei could respond to were the growling voices of ghosts, some of whom could even speak human language.
One of them was a ghost wearing a blood-red Samurai cosplay, he seemed to have a leadership position in the group of ghosts besieging Issei.
With his face covered by a mask, one could only see his eye sockets that glowed with green light.
"The one who obstructs lord Hades' plan... Must die." The ghost's voice was hoarse and at the same time the other ghosts moved to attack Issei from all directions.
"Fuck!"
Issei unconsciously shouted as one of the ghost's swords was about to slash his face. Because he was exhausted, his movements were also slower than usual. So he had a bit of trouble fighting off the ghosts that surrounded him.
Issei's cheek was slightly scratched by the blade, she widened her eyes and shouted angrily. "You bastard! How dare you hurt the Dragon King's handsome face?! You all seek death!"
"...."
The ghosts looked at each other.
As ghosts, they were already dead, what was there to be afraid of?
Well but it would be problematic if this man dressed as a Hawaiian tourist blasted them with his fists.
The Qi that a cultivator possesses is indeed effective for destroying the life energy that ghosts possess.
It would be like dying a second time for ghosts like them.
The Samurai ghost raised its katana and slashed at Issei at super speed. Issei's instincts screamed and he did a back flip to avoid the slash that was about to decapitate him.
Issei felt humiliated to be cornered to this point by the ghost, his fighting spirit was stimulated and his strength suddenly increased.
The Protagonist's Cliché Skills are activated!
*Boom!*
All of Issei's fatigue was already slightly alleviated, the Qi within his body also churning vigorously.
The Dragon King's green aura exploded from Issei's body, all the ghosts that surrounded him were blown back.
Issei had a cruel grin on his face.
"I don't know who lord Hades is. But since his dog dared to bite the Dragon King, he and all of you must pay the price!!"
...
"Riser are you sure the solution to solving the ghost problem in my housing complex is down there?" Asked Grayfia doubtfully as she stared at the stairs that led underground.
In Grayfia's memory, she was pretty sure that during the construction of Misla Bael's house, no one had built the stairs that led underground.
Even Misla and Sairorg were surprised that there was another path inside the storeroom of their house. The two of them hadn't noticed before because the path was blocked by a large cupboard that stored unused items.
Now that the large cupboard had been removed by Riser, they could all see the stairs that seemed to lead underground. It was like a dark hallway with stone walls all around, looking creepy.
They wondered if they should go in there?
"Yes, at the end of this hallway there is most likely a portal made specifically for the ghosts of the underworld to come to this housing complex." Riser said.
The other three who heard this were stunned.
Misla, who had recovered from her illness, seemed to be in good shape at the moment. She looked at Riser with worry and asked. "Mr. Riser, are you sure allowing you to go in there..."
"Is that a fair payment to cure my illness? That dark passage looks dangerous, how about we leave this matter to the police?"
Grayfia also agreed with Misla's suggestion, she looked at Riser and was about to persuade him.
But Riser shook his head and said, "Don't worry, I'm completely confident in my ability to solve this problem. And calling the police to deal with the ghost problem won't actually help much."
"But Riser, you don't need to endanger yourself to help me. I..."
Grayfia started to feel bad for Riser, but the latter interrupted her.
With a smile on his handsome face.
"Since it's dangerous, then it's worth it to get more rewards from you after I manage to do it, right Grayfia?"
"You..."
"Uhuk, uhuk!"
Misla pretended to cough, she couldn't stand this dog food, even Sairorg could only look the other way to avoid looking at the two people.
Grayfia blushed, the image of her iceberg president had been thrown away to who knows where.
"How about I come with you--"
"No, that would be dangerous. I'll have trouble protecting you if something bad happens."
"But, you..."
Riser sighed, it seemed like evidence was needed to convince Grayfia and the other two people here.
He looked at the vault in the warehouse and asked Misla.
"Miss Misla, can I destroy this vault? It's already unused, right? If necessary, I will replace it with a new one later."
"Eh? Y-Yes, this really isn't that important. Mr. Riser, you can do it and there's no need to worry about buying me a new one."
"Alright, thanks for letting me."
Misla wondered what Riser wanted to do? Even if you want to destroy that vault, I'm afraid it would be difficult to do with bare hands.
Grayfia and Sairorg were also confused at the moment.
But the three widened their eyes when they saw Riser punch the vault with his bare hands and there was a loud explosion right then and there.
The vault shattered with a dent caused by a single punch from Riser's hand.
Riser turned to Grayfia and the others.
"This should be enough to make you guys confident in my abilities."
"...."
Grayfia, Misla, and Sairorg could only nod.
Grayfia breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed she still underestimated Riser and the various secrets he had.
She could only pray that Riser would be okay after he entered that dark passage.
...
After convincing Grayfia and the others.
Riser entered the dark passage leading underground alone. He used the flashlight from the cell phone in his shirt pocket to illuminate the path ahead of him.
When he was far enough away and couldn't see Grayfia and the others anymore behind. He took out a human face mask from his pants pocket and put it on first before continuing his journey.
He had prepared the mask before he and Grayfia took the flight to Tokyo.
The human face mask fit perfectly and transformed his face into another person. He also took off his black blazer suit on the way and wore only a long-sleeved black T-shirt on his upper body.
Then used wigs with different hairstyles to cover his blonde hair.
Finally use contact lenses to change the color of the eyes.
And that's it, Riser transformed his appearance into someone else.
With a grin on his face, he immediately continued walking to the end of the hallway.
Five minutes later, Riser saw at the end of the hallway a spacious room with several green flaming candles on several sides of the wall.
And a few meters ahead of him was a purple portal that let out several transparent ghosts. Some of the other ghosts that had come out of the portal immediately flew upwards, penetrated the ground, and went to the surface of the housing complex.
Riser sensed the movement of the ghosts using his cultivator sense. Ignoring the random ghosts that came out of the portal.
He stared at the tall figure standing by the side of the portal, the figure was wearing a black nun's robe with a hood covering her head. Her face was pale and ghastly looking like a ghost character in a certain horror movie Riser had watched in the world before.
And that figure seemed to be staring at him!
"...."
"...."
Riser fake coughing, he adjusted his acting skills to resemble someone before shouting loudly. "I am Hyudou Issei! I came here to stop you guys evil plans and close the damn portal you created!!!"
All the ghostly movements around the portal stopped moving and stared at Riser. A tall figure in a nun's uniform stared at Riser intently and opened his mouth to let out a terrifying shrill scream.
Riser, who was pretending to be Issei, shuddered at the scream. It was definitely a voice out of a horror movie!
[Although I was confident of defeating those ghosts and closing the portal in front of me. But the atmosphere of horror here is very ominous, especially seeing the appearance of that tall ghost in a nun's uniform. Damn, that pale white face looks really creepy!]
[I regret not bringing a stick or something. Should I punch that creepy ghost in the face with my bare hands? I feel a bit disgusted, well at least I brought gloves.]
Riser quickly put on the black gloves he carried in his pocket. Many ghosts were moving towards him, but the first to come was the nun's ghost!
The bastard was already behind him as if she had teleportation skills.
Riser looked back quickly and at the same time swatted away the nun ghost's hand that was about to strangle his neck.
The moment was slow in Riser's eyes as if he was looking at slow motion. Seeing the nun ghost's ugly face up close, he unhesitatingly swung his fist at it with all his might.
His fist was coated in gold-colored Qi and it completely hit the nun ghost's face in front of him.
*Boom!!!
...
On the other side.
Grayfia paced in front of the passage that Riser had entered anxiously.
Just now she heard Riser's inner voice and it seemed like the man was fighting with the creepy nun ghost guarding the place.
She wondered if Riser was okay?
Grayfia sighed and muttered, "Please return safely, Riser..."
Standing not far from Grayfia, Misla smiled wryly at how worried the iceberg president was for a man.
The iceberg president seemed to have really fallen.
And the man who managed to win her heart was the young master of the Phenex family.
"Hey... I don't know what happens if this news gets out."
"Many men would be heartbroken and probably antagonize Mr. Riser, right?"
Misla said in a low voice that Grayfia couldn't hear, even her son standing next to her couldn't hear her.
Back to Riser's side.
Riser is wrestling using his fists and feet to beat up the ghosts attacking him from various directions. Apart from the nun ghost, the other ghosts can be blasted with one or two punches.
But the nun ghost was of a different level than the other ghosts. Clearly she was special enough to be the guardian of the portal that Hades had created in this dungeon.
If that was Issei in his peak state, as a rank eight martial artist he would definitely be able to defeat the nun ghost with a few blows.
But for Riser who had only reached rank five martial artist, even after hundreds of blows, the nun ghost could still wake up and the ghost was getting more aggressive to attack him.
Damn, looks like he still underestimated the ghosts guarding this portal too much.
His current power was not enough!
"System, do you have a way for me to blast that nun ghost with one attack?"
The system that had been watching its host's actions for a long time as if it was watching a movie finally spoke.
[In case of emergency. The system has the option to provide the host with magic items or skills that can be exchanged for destiny points that the host has.]
"...Why did I just find out about this option? And that stuff about destiny points that can be exchanged for items or skills?"
[Host did not ask.]
"System, don't give me the clichéd excuses of the system I've read about in those novels. Otherwise I'll get mad at you."
"I'm serious if this is related to my life."
Hearing the flat tone of her host who was busy fighting with ghosts from various directions.
The system quickly said:
[Cough, sorry host, I was joking. But the options I mentioned are actually additional features of the next version of the system after this version of the system is upgraded. That's why the system has no obligation to notify the host in the current version of the system unless you ask.]
[But there is an exception if the host wants to try the features of the next version of the system. It's just a one-time thing, I made an exception for you, host!]
The last sentence sounds a bit sycophantic.
Riser rolled his eyes.
"Okay, then quickly give me something useful in this situation!"
The nun ghost's attacks were getting more aggressive and interrupting his conversation with the system in his mind.
Riser jumped back hard to avoid the scratches from the nun ghost's sharp nails.
"System, hurry up!"
[Ding! Using the special option to temporarily open the System 2.0 feature.]
[Ding! Automatically exchange the host's destiny points to purchase Spiral Power.]
[The host's destiny points have been cut by 2***]
[Destiny points remaining ****]
[System Notes: The feature of viewing Destiny points is only available in System 2.0 version. So the host can't view them for now.]
"Okay, okay, hurry up and integrate Spiral Power or whatever it is into me right now!"
Riser roared at the system.
[Ding! Congratulations host! You have Spiral Power. The way this energy is used is automatically transferred to your brain.]
Looking at Riser who suddenly stopped moving and stared blankly at her.
The ghost nun roared and spoke in a creepy voice.
"Human... You seem to have run out of strength to avoid my attacks? Now die! You must die for interfering with lord Hades' plan!"
With dark energy enveloping her, the ghost nun lunged at Riser with a hand gesture as if to stab Riser with her sharp nails.
The other ghosts that had just come out of the portal also attacked Riser from various directions.
But just as all the attacks were about to hit Riser, all the ghosts' hearing picked up the sound of a drill.
The sound of the drill grew louder and louder!
The next second all they saw before being detonation was a cyan-colored light that blinded their vision.
And there was also another sound besides the drill sound that sounded very clear.
"After returning to the underworld tell Hades that the one who dared to destroy his plans is a man named Hyudou Issei! He must remember my name because one day I will come to him and blow his head off."
...
Author note
I just wanted to say that I hate the toxic female character in a certain novel that I just finished reading over 300 chapters of. I also can't believe I read that much even though I was constantly angered and annoyed while reading it. The MC has a system that makes him have a dependency on the development of two twin sisters (Heroine). The MC already helped the two women a lot like giving them heavenly level skills etc. But guess what, the two women never thanked the MC. It's like they're both taking advantage of the MC, although it's not properly explained by the author. I feel like that, the two heroines don't really have any affection for the MC.
Although one of them often acts flirtatiously with the MC, it seems insincere. The author really couldn't explain or add the word "love" in 300 chapters. The worst thing is that the eldest sister of the twins is an unreasonable cold beauty type. She keeps looking for MC's faults as if MC is a really bad and perverted man, she even always yells to kill MC with her sword, even though she has been helped a lot by MC by being given heavenly level skills, saving her from poison, etc. She always doubts MC's intention!
And the stupid MC always acted passively and never replied to the ungrateful bitch properly. The MC kept using perverted jokes to respond to that cold and angry woman. The MC was really stupid, but I still didn't stop reading at that point because I had hope that the MC would change and reciprocate with a cold demeanor to that annoying woman.
But it never happened! Until 300 chapters MC was still treated badly by that woman even though he helped her a lot. The MC never got angry! The thing that made me give up reading was the point where the cold woman found a little golden monkey who suddenly hugged her in the forest, she looked at the little monkey gently. She never even looked at MC with such a gentle gaze! And the stupid MC looked at this scene positively as if he thought the cold woman had a good change, MC even took the initiative for the cold woman to take the little monkey as a pet. Hahahaha stupid, I feel like MC has been defeated by a monkey. I gave up at that point, not even bothering to write a bad review on the place where I read it.
I have the tolerance and patience to read a novel without a brain, but this is the limit.
