After Darkness pierced its head thoroughly, it didn't die immediately. The fire which ablaze on its body dimmed down. Xyrrass kept staring at Randy with its blue eyes. There were fury, shock, and disbelieve in its eyes.
Plop!
Its body fell, but it was still breathing and its eyes were never leaving Randy. Its breath became weaker and weaker before finally died. Even in its death, its eyes still opened as it shot at him.
Hah! Hah! Hah!
Looking at the death of Xyrrass, Randy let out a sigh of relief. He slumped on the ground while adjusting his breathing. The toll of using Dragon Roar six times in a row was burdening him a lot. This was the first time he used Dragon Roar six times in a row.
After adjusting his breath, he stood up. Just as he stood up, acute pain attacked his chest which made him swayed back. He leaned to the cave on his back to keep standing.
The pain was unbearable even for him. He looked at his chest where he felt the pain which was covered by his armor and his Infernal Cuirass was still blazing with the crimson fire. Underneath the crimson fire, he could see that his Infernal Cuirass was caving in.
'The heck!'
He already activated Combustion, the additional skill of the Infernal set which was boosting his defense by two hundred percent yet the attack of the Xyrrass' two paws still damaged his Infernal Cuirass, even broken his ribs.
Then what if he didn't use Combustion?
Thinking of that, Randy's body shuddered as cold sweat poured on his back. If not for the sneak attack and he was confronting Xyrrass face to face, maybe it was him who was the one lying on the ground now.
Fyuu!
He slumped on the ground again and took out a healing potion before he chugged it down with one gulp. After a few minutes, the pain in his chest lessened, but it had not totally healed yet.
Battle System: You are the first to kill an Emperor Grade Beast. You received reward two levels.
Battle System: You are the first to kill a named beast, Xyrrass. You received reward two levels.
After drinking the healing potion, he heard two notices from Battle System. He was surprised and delighted. It was worth it, he risked his life to kill this damned Xyrrass and obtained four levels as the reward.
After that, Randy stood up and walked over to the Xyrrass dead body. He pulled out Darkness from its forehead and dug out its heart. After that, he extracted the blood essence to the special vial.
He prepared two hundred special vials for this journey, but only met two mutated beasts so far. The Elder Savage Jade Bear, and Blue Tibre - Xyrrass, one was Ancient Beast bloodline while the other was Emperor Beast bloodline.
Just as he wanted to store Xyrrass dead body, he heard Shana's voice rang in his ears,
"Uncle, take its energy core too. There's energy core on it," Shana pointed his tiny finger toward Xyrrass' forehead.
"Oh, there's also energy core in the beast?" Randy surprised after hearing Shana. He thought only Spirit and Elemental who had energy core.
"Of course not, there must be an energy core in every beast or monster have elemental power. This Blue Tibre have Fire Elemental, so there must be energy core of fire attribute on it," Shana told Randy another information he didn't know.
"If beast and monster have the elemental power, then I can also have the Elemental Power?" Randy's face full of expectation as he asked Shana.
Shana smiled at Randy, "Of course you can, but you need a medium to generate the elemental power in your body, but I cannot tell you what the medium is yet for now,"
"Ugh!" This AI Helper really Skill Point sucker. He already used all his Skill Point to her yet he could not get all the information. He wondered the maximum level of this AI Helper while praying the max level of AI helper was not that high.
He put the elemental power aside as he stored the Xyrrass's dead body after digging out the energy core from Xyrrass' head. After that, he walked over to the Ascension Chest.
This was the second time he found Ascension Chest, but he still amazed by how dazzling this chest was; it emitted seven colored light, changing every second.
Just as he wanted to open the Ascension Chest, his hand stopped. He was thinking if he should use his luck or not open the Ascension Chest.
Randy checked his window stat, he had 314 luck left. He remembered last time he used 200 luck to get the Chaos Dragon Bloodline, he hesitated to activate his hidden stat or not.
'Talking about Luck, I haven't asked Shana again how to get Luck,'
"Shana, can you tell me to increase my Luck now?" Randy stopped his hand to open Ascension Chest and asked Shana.
If Shana could tell him how to increase Luck, then he would open the Ascension Chest with his luck.
But Shana shook her head which made him disappointed a bit, "I can't tell you now, but in level 25,"
Randy let out a miserable sigh. This AI Helper was really a Skill Point Sucker, Randy checked his window stat again, checking how many Skill Point he had now.
Just now, the reward for killing Xyrrass was four levels. Not only that, the EXP for killing Xyrrass also made him leveled up one level, so he leveled for five levels just killing Xyrrass.
He obtained 100 Skill Points for leveling up five levels and had 6 Skill Points left after upgrading Sword Mastery. So he had 106 Skill Points in total.
Then he checked Shana's level. Now, he was at level 23 and needed 86 Skill Points to level up to level 24. So for leveling up Shana to level 25, at least he needed 70 Skill Points or more.
His mouth twitched, he risked his life to get five levels, yet now his Skill Points were instantly gone to upgrade Shana to level 24.
After upgrading Shana to level 24, he left only with 20 Skill Points. He checked how many Skill Points Shana needed to level 25, 88 Skill Points. That meant he needed to level up for four levels.
'Hmmm four levels,' Randy held his chin as he was in a deep thought. he could get four levels in a week or two weeks, but the problem was he didn't know how to increase his luck yet.
Even though later Shana told him how to; it was unnecessary for him if he could increase his luck or not at that time.
"Let's not activate my luck. Even though I can't get high-grade bloodline now, there is still another Ascension Chest on his map. It's not too late for me to use Luck at that time to get high-grade bloodline,"
After deciding, Randy opened the Ascension without activating his hidden stat. After he opened the Ascension Chest, the chest emitted a brilliant light which blinded him for a while.
It took more than fifteen seconds before the light dimmed down and showed what was inside the Ascension Chest. Inside the Ascension Chest, there were two translucent seeds. On the left, the seed was red in color while on the right was blue in color.
After experiencing the first time opened Ascension Chest, Randy didn't look down upon the seeds inside the Ascension Chest. He took both seed and information appeared in his eyes.
