Chapter 433 433. DEATH LORD

Noah exited the cultivation room and returned to the outside world. His mind had calmed down a bit, but he still held sadness within him.

The event still left a hit on his mood, but he would have to deal with it. Alone. As usual.

The destruction that continued to spread abroad unfolded in his cold gaze. It soon dawned on him that he had just ended more people than he had ever killed in that one night.

A shining red panel appeared in his eyes at that point.

[You have gained a Unique Title: Death Lord]

[Death Lord: A being with the blood of many thousands on his hand. The human life holds no real value before such being]

[Abilities under Death Lord Title]

[Stench of Death

[Tyrannical Presence]

[Blood-lust of the abyss]

[Stone heart]

[Pool of the abyss]

[Eye of the Death Lord]

[Stench of death[Passive]: Your very presence carries the stench of the thousands whose lives have been lost in your hands. Whether for a just reason or not. This stench can only be perceived by humans who have highly trained senses, but can be perceived by all magical beasts]

[Tyrannical presence[Passive]: Immediately your anger is kindled, an aura that inflicts a type of fear only those who carry similar titles can withstand, unfolds. When activated, your presence creates illusions of terrifying beings from the abyss. Those properly affected by the ability, regardless of their power level; including beasts, experience a 20% decrease in all aspects of their power. This number continues to climb the more terrified they are of you]

[Blood lust of the abyss[Passive]: A mighty being with the goal of killing. Your blood lust is multiplied by 300% of its actual value, which is further enhanced by the fear-inducing illusions of the ethereal beings. Those properly affected by this ability regardless of their power, experience a 30% decrease in movement speed. This number continues to increase the more terrified they are of you]

[Stone heart[Passive]: As a Death Lord, your very existence now wields a coldness that is nigh unbreakable. Your heart holds almost no value for the lives of living beings. Your emotions are almost completely removed and your thoughts are cold, distant and calculative. This is further improved by the current state of your mind]

[Pool of the abyss[Passive]: As a Death Lord you gain access to a limitless pool of dark power. Depending on how bloodthirsty you are, and how willing you are to defeat your opponent, you experience a percentile boost in all areas of your power. The base increase however is a 30% increase]

[Warning: When the power drawn has crossed a total of 80% increase, your mind begins to near the abyss itself. And your are prone to the unique state [Madness] depending on how sturdy you soul core is]

[Eye of the Death Lord[Active]: An ability only those with the grand Title of Death Lords can possess. When activated your eyes gain the ability to see the Flare of Death, which measures; accurately, the chances a person has to die in a battle with you, the bigger the flare seen the smaller the chances, the smaller the flare the higher the chances. This ability also lets you see if a person has the same title as a Death lord]

[Cost: 10% of reserves every five seconds. 10% of overall stamina every second]

[Duration: N/A, Cool-down: N/A]

[Due to your "Pending" state all manifestations of your Death Lord abilities will be postponed to after your term has ended]

[Time left: 25days: 19hrs: 37minutes]

Noah furrowed his brows at the lengthy descriptions, but he was quickly done with them, and he had to admit how incredulous that new title was. Especially the abilities. They would not be part of his stats, since they were attached to the title.

Unfortunately he felt nothing from the appearance of the title. All its manifestations had been locked till when he was able to increase in power again.

Still, he didn't feel remotely glad. That title had only come due to the death of the children. He almost felt guilty for their deaths. Had he not gotten involved they would still be alive. At least they would live longer.

A deep sigh escaped Noah's lips and he closed the panel in front of his eyes. He once again decided to look at the level of destruction his actions had caused but he was ready to move on from that point.

Due to the sheer heat of the area below him he had to remain in the sky, utilizing platforms of his elements to stay up there.

Noah unfolded his consciousness and sprinted toward the direction he had come from. He still knew it.

His initial movement speed was without the addition of his empowerment. However he decided to travel faster by a bit.

Noah still felt the need to air out his feelings before returning to the guild, that was why he had not just teleported.

The areas filled with flames began to draw farther and farther from him, and soon he could only see untouched vegetation.

The night sky still stood above him but only about 3 hours was left till the sun rose.

He hoped to have at least regained his normal mood back by then.

Noah stopped at a certain location. It was a point that had a cliff, which had a river below it.

He sat on the cliff and stared into the shining blue water below him, reviewing all Kius had said. It was now evident that something big would happen in the Cusk nation, and it would possibly lead to the deaths of many.

"A war," Noah muttered now staring at the starry sky. The issue really didn't bother him since is power would be increasing very soon. Heck, even the crumbling of the bracelet didn't affect him anymore.

There was nothing much he could do that he hadn't done. His achievement would even be record-shattering. Most individuals spent a century just to reach the fourth tier. He had basically done so in a year. Unless, of course, he somehow died before that time came.
