Chereads / Rebirth: Epic of the Arcane Dragon / Chapter 28 - Merciless

Chapter 28 - Merciless

"Don't get ahead of yourselves. Human!"

Malacus was so shocked hearing those words. When he saw the eyes of Cedrick, he started doubting him being a human but that statement confirmed it.

Those eyes, the aura of a mighty being, and invincibility.

"Dragon!"

The beings who were greater than the Gods, even greater than God Yatan. As a Servant of the God Yatan, he naturally knew this. He didn't understand what he is now feeling as his body won't listen to him anymore. All it could do is non-stop shaking.

All of the Yatan's Follower witnessed everything that happened earlier. They were prepared to support Malacus but waited because they knew he was stronger than them but now, they discovered they were against a dragon.

All of them froze. Even if the black magic corroded their minds, they naturally new what it means to stand against a dragon. Death!

It was the world's Absolute existence yet they were now fighting one. All of them blamed their misfortune. They realized they were the played all along. All of them thought that the dragon pretended to be weak so that he could find some entertainment in their despair after finding out who they were against.

Cedrick on the other hand was also shocked of what he had said. He didn't know why it came out from his mouth naturally as it was natural occurrence.

He didn't realized it but his dragon pride was now developed. Just like his trait becoming his personality, Cedrick now possessed his pride as a member of the proud dragon race. He was in conflict as he was once a human but he felt a slight disdain to it.

"Is this what they called Character Development?"

Cedrick sighed at the thought of him starting to change. Cedrick didn't linger on it as he coldly gaze Malacus and Yatan's Followers who were frozen in fear. After losing his interest in them, Cedrick then thought of exterminating them and not leaving a single one alive.

As they sensed Cedrick's cold gaze, all of them felt even greater fear. Some of them was on the verge of passing out as the pressure became unbearable.

The weak and the strong, everyone was equally trembling in terror. No one tried ro retaliate.

Malacus felt the terror making hard to breathe and to stay conscious. He was thinking in his confused mind.

'Why did it turned out like this?"

They were on the verge of making their plan to success as they had captured 76 virgins and only needed a couple more. But now it was ruined.

No matter how you look at it, this mission has failed. To escape with their lives , but it was already too late.

Malacus no longer care about his dignity as the Yatan's Servant anymore. Die, if he stays here, he will die.

All of them fell into panic. At the same time, the Yatan Followers who spills tears and their eyes look at Cedrick.

It is not something you can fight against.

Malacus and the Yatan's Followers all fell to the ground as they had lost their will to fight. They pray desperately, for the first time they are begging for their lives.

It was as this moment a notification appeared.

[The target lost the will to fight.]

[The Merciless title effect is activated.]

[When the targets lose their will to resist. You can reap the marked target's Soul.]

'Ah right, there was this.'

Cedrick remembered that he has this. The effect is, it will be possible to seize the soul of the person who begs for mercy with its ability to seize the life of the person who begs for help.

In other words, this ability sentenced to death the people who lost their will to fight.

Saphira's voice was then heard by Cedrick.

{Master. Do you want to use the effect of Merciless?}

"Yes."

Cedrick answered calmly with no hesitation. Immediately after Cedrick used Merciless everyone died. Malacus and all Yatan Follower perished at once. The villa that was filled with waves of fear became calm. Then a notification window flashed in front of Cedrick.

Due to exterminating Malacus and 500 Yatan Followers. Massive experience was gained, Cedrick leveled up until level 132.

He also gained a tremendous amount of fame and high affinity with each religion. Cedrick didn't care about their affinities and hostility as he had no intention of contacting them unless he has to. Cedrick looked at the items he got from Malacus.

Just like the novel, these items appeared but he has no intention of using them.

"Maybe I can just give this to my apostles as they would be farm machine of experience."

Cedrick looked at the final item, he was sure that this item did not appear in the novel. He doesn't know that this didn't came from Malacus but from the five hundred Yatan Followers. He didn't linger on the other items as he found it no use for him but his gaze was fixed on the Necromancers Class Book.

Cedrick has already decided to learn necromancery a long time ago. As he wanted to learn this, he didn't wait for long.

Cedrick was so impressed about the new profound skills that he got. His harvest in Lubana was so massive that he didn't regret causing trouble here. He was also amazed as his can summon infinite number of undeads as long as his mana can handle but to him, a dragon that possesses near infinite mana, it was no longer a problem.

He may be able to summon a large number of Skeleton Knights, and Magicians but it was different to the others skills.

People who were Epic and Legends are very hard to find throughout Lugarix which was the biggest downside of having those restrictions. Cedrick was slightly disappointed but did not linger on it anymore as their was also a big benifit to the Skeleton Knights and Skeleton Magicians.

No equipment restriction. Just like the benefits of being Pagma's Successor which can use any equipment to empower oneself. Cedrick didn't have a problem where he can find those equipments as he can create it himself.

Cedrick grinned as he was becoming closer to become the strongest on Lubarix.

"This is exhilarating."
