Chereads / Empyrean Defiance / Chapter 40 - Dreadful Skill

Chapter 40 - Dreadful Skill

As soon as all the torches of the boss room was lit, the floor boss roar was heard throughout the room. Heracles heard at that moment, "OWOOOOOO!!!!"

Upon seeing his targets, Prince Elijah drew out his sword without a moment of hesitation. With great conviction in his eyes, he jumped as high as he could. Upon reaching the peak of his jump, the tenth prince shouted at the top of his lungs, "ENDLESS RENDING!!!"

At that very moment, Prince Elijah began swinging endlessly. His every swing produce a sword force which contains a lot of destructive capabilities. Upon hitting the minions of the floor with the same power as pack leaders, they were unable to dodge or defend against the tenth prince attacks.

'What a terrifying skill! Isn't that one of the infamous skills used by the first emperor? I heard from my grandfather that great-grandfather would always tell him about stories about the first emperor! This is one of the skills used by the first emperor before he used THAT skill!' Leonard thought to himself as he watched the battle.

In just half a minute, the the tenth prince managed to slaughter all of the minions of the floor boss. Upon seeing all the blood spilled by his cousin, Heracles stepped up without wasting any more time. At that very moment, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "BLOOD OVERSEER!!!"

Leonard watched the whole thing without batting an eye. As soon as Heracles shouted, all the bloods spilled surrounding the floor boss suddenly went into the prince's control. Without wasting any time, Heracles formed all the blood he managed to control into spikes to penetrate his enemy.

He launched the numerous blood spikes he formed toward the floor boss without a moment of hesitation. Before the floor boss could react, all of the spike made up of blood impaled the floor boss. In less than half a minute, the floor boss met its end. At that very moment, a notification from his system suddenly appeared as soon as the floor boss breathed its last.

[Congratulations! You finished your special quest! Since you finished the mission before a minute passed away, the system decided to upgrade your Legendary-tier reward!]

[You gained another level!]

"Cousin! Did you reward also got upgraded!?" asked Prince Elijah with great excitement. Heracles nodded with the same energy as his cousins. At the very next moment, the two princes shouted, "System, show me my status board!"

"I got a Mythical-tier skill!? What is Divine Eyes skill!? And why am I seeing all of the ranks of the skills that I got!?" Heracles could only wonder upon seeing the changes in his vision.

Upon seeing the prince's reaction, Leonard immediately came to his side. He asked the young prince by jokingly saying, "What is the matter, Sun of the Domain? Did you get something outrageous again? Haha!"

In response, Heracles said to their escort knight, "Yes, it seems like I got another outrageous skill, sir Leonard! I gained another Mythical-tier skill for finished the quest too quickly!" "I also got a Mythical-tier skill!!" Prince Elijah said at the next moment.

"ANOTHER MYTHICAL-TIER SKILL!? The Overlord Family is really favored by the great god! All of you are just like a factory producing Mythical-tier skills one after the another!" Leonard said in response.

The two looked at Leonard simultaneously upon hearing his first remark without showing courtesy. Upon realizing his action, Leonard immediately knelt down. He said with great conviction, "Forgive me for my endless sins, Suns of the Domain! I did not mean to be discourteous in front of the two of you!"

Heracles and Prince Elijah laughed in unison upon hearing their escort knight. After a few minutes, Prince Elijah as he tapped Leonard's shoulder. "It is okay for you, Sir Leonard, to act like this with us. We are now comrade-in-arms! We just laughed since it is the first for us to hear you be just like yourself!" explained Prince Elijah with a smile.

At the next moment, Heracles stepped out with the same smile as his cousin. He said to his personal knight, "Yeah! We fought side by side against that treacherous Triton Organization! That's why, regardless of our status, don't be so formal with me and my cousin because we are comrades!"

"Thank you, you two! If you insists that much, I will not be formal with you in private. I will try my best to protect the two of you as long as I am alive!" said Leonard with a great smile on his face.

After a while, Heracles could not help himself but be curious. That's why, he asked his cousin by saying, "What is the Mythical-tier skill that you got, cousin?" In response, Prince Elijah said to Heracles, "The skill that I got is called Culmination Lacerate! I heard some stories about this skill but I can learn more by using this in our battles to come!"

"I see! You have a great insight about Mythical-tier skills, cousin! Perhaps, you know about the Mythical-tier skill that I got!" said Heracles. To satisfy his curiosity, Prince Elijah asked his cousin saying, "Yeah, what skill did you managed to obtain in this special mission of ours?"

Upon hearing the question of the tenth prince, Leonard also looked at Heracles with the same curiosity as the Heracles's cousin. "I can now see the tiers of the skill I have in my system status. The new Mythical-tier that I got is called as Divine Eyes!" said Heracles with a serious expression.

"YOU OBTAIN THE FABLED MYTHICAL-TIER SKILL!?"
