Skill-Creation System - Chapter 41
The sun finally came up showing its beauty to the world. A pair of brother and sister were sitting in a lotus position. As they had received help and advice from Alex, they finally broke through.
Lucas was now Qi Condensation Grade-7. He could also perform the Domineering Fire Blade Sword Art with ease. Although it was not at Alex’s level of mastery, he was above average. The reason being that he trained in Alex’s magic simulations. In the simulations, he had experienced life and death countless times.
Freya, on the other hand, just broke through into Qi Condensation Grade-1. She was extremely talented. She was only 5 years old after all. Alex only had a Martialist Cultivation at her age. Although he could have probably broke through Sky Realm by that time, he felt uncomfortable doing so under Old Man Han.
The old man was truly mysterious.
Freya also made progress on her Sword Art. With the resources Alex was giving her, her cultivation was going smoothly. She also took an interest in Formations. Alex promised her to teach her after they left the city.
Their cultivation speeds were absolutely outrageous. If any other cultivator saw this progress, they would start doubting their own lives.
Alex came into the room making them take a break from cultivating.
“It is time!” Alex said loudly while poing at them. Lucas and Freya were confused as they tilted their heads. Lucas was the first to ask Alex.
“Master? It is time for what?”
Alex looked at their confused faces and just said.
“Well, why did you start following me?
The brother and sister pair opened their eyes wide as they finally knew what Alex meant. They could finally take revenge on the people who killed their parents. They immediately stood up and rushed to Alex’s side.
Seeing their reaction, Alex smiled and chuckled at bit.
“Follow Me” Alex told them as he left the room and walked out of the hotel. When he had accepted Lucas and Freya as his followers, he had already found the headquarters of the gang.
The city had 3 Major gangs and the one they were about to take revenge on is one of them. The gang was called the {Saint Devil Gang}. The gang is well known for slavery of women and kids. The men who are kidnapped would be forced to do labor.
Alex walked into an alley with his followers. He arrived in front of a tall brick wall and looked at it.
‘Hidden Door?’
Alex checked his map to make sure that this was their base of operations. Seeing that he was at the right spot. He sent out his mana or Magic power to cover the entire wall. Magic circles then appeared in front of his eye.
{Stone Removal}
After using this spell, the wall in front of them descended back into the earth. Behing the wall was the entrance of a tunnel. Alex gazed at his first two followers as if trying to confirm their decision on revenge. They both nodded at him and tightly held onto their swords. They knew that the battle coming up wouldn’t be easy but they had confidence as Alex had trained them.
Alex stopped walking and took a step behind the pair of Brother and sister. Alex sensed a presence so he left him for them to improve.
“There’s someone up ahead. It’s time to show me how much progress you guys made after your training. Do not disappoint me!”
Alex’s voice was cold and indifferent voice resounded within the tunnel. Seeing that his position was revealed, the enemy finally revealed themself as a Qi Condensation Grade-9. Lucas was 2 grades below this man in cultivation.
The man in front of them looked at them while taking out a knife. He suddenly rushed towards Lucas. Senising the danger coming his way, Lucas uses his Fire Sword Art to defend from the attack.
*Clang*
Lucas’ sword parried the knife, burning the metal a bit. He then twisted and used ‘scorching wave’ which was a move in the sword art he was practicing. With his Tier-4 sword, he cut the man in half like a piece of butter.
The man screamed as he felt immense pain. His vision slowly darkened and he was dead. This fight lasted no more than 10 seconds.
Alex nodded with satisfaction as he looked at Lucas. They continued to walk forward and followed the direction told them to go. They knew that their master had a way to find the enemy so they didn’t question him. Alex told them he had some sort of map that only he could see.
On their way to find the gang leader, they encountered many members of the gang. Freya and Lucas easily cut them down while Alex just used his Demon Flame to burn them all and imprisoned their souls.
As their blood kept feeding the Flame, it grew in destructive power. Even Alex was slightly surprised at the flame’s progress. He grew more interested in higher flames like Hell’s Flame and other powerful flames.
Lucas looked at the flame with interest as he saw its power. Freya was also interested but she knew she had more affinity with the Ice or Water Element. She looked at Alex with reverence and admiration. She knew that Alex didn’t show his full power yet. Instead, he was holding back too much.
Freya’s thoughts were right. Alex was holding back quite a bit. He could probably wipe this city and the area around it off the map if he wanted to but what’s the fun in that.
They finally arrived at a grand door. Alex used his system map to find the leader so he knew he wasn’t wrong. He looked at the kids and told them to get ready.
*Boom*
Alex kicked the door open and he saw about 10 people between Earth Realm Grade-1 to Grade-4. They all turned their heads to see who would be so bold as to kick their door open. What they saw made them confused as they saw 3 people. The man in the middle had his hands behind his back. No matter how much they tried they couldn’t see pass the system’s protection so they guessed that he was the most powerful in the group. The two others, however, weren’t that strong. They could destroy them with a flick.
“Lucas, Freya. Go deal with the Earth Realm Grade-1 Cultivators. I’ll deal with rest from there.” Alex said.
Knowing that they were too weak to deal with all of them, they nodded while gritting their teeth. They followed Alex’s orders anyways.
They immediately rushed at the weakest people within the group. Lucas’ Tier-4 Sword with his Fire Sword Art made them extremely difficult to deal with. Freya also used her Sword Art to weaken the enemy.
The others wanted to help but were blocked by Alex.
“Get out of our way!” They yelled at Alex and all attacked him at the same time. Alex just smiled and released pressure. Not only did he pressure them with his higher amounts of Qi, he also used his Soul power to change the gravity around him. The people charging at him felt as if a mountain fell on them. They couldn’t move a single muscle.
Alex walked in front of them and used his Demon Flame to devour them. Alex was still smiling as he looked at the scene in front of him. Not a single of their ashes were there. Alex imprisoned their souls to stop them from going into the reincarnation cycle.
He looked at his followers who were having a hard time. He left them as they could train themselves for the future. Although Alex was confident in his overwhelming strength. Who knows what might be waiting for him.
Alex looked around and saw a bunch of treasure. His eyes shone and he walked away from the battle.
Meanwhile, Lucas and Freya were fighting with all of their power. Freya continued to slow the enemy down while Lucas was cutting them down. He didn’t want to slip up so he fought with all his power. One mistake could cost him his and his sister’s life.
*Cling**Clang*
His sword hit the gang’s elder, he was fighting while unconsciously refining his sword skill. His sword became faster and less flaws could be seen.
The Elder looked at Alex and was shocked to see not a single speck of the others. That meant that Alex killed them. He suddenly felt shivers going down his spine. At this moment, a single thought appeared within his mind.
‘RUN!’
Lucas saw an opening and immediately stabbed at the elder. The latter coughed a mouthful of blood while the former repeatedly stabbed him. The gang’s elder looked at the man who killed him with wide eyes while his vision was slowly darkening.
Alex came back to see that the elder died by Lucas’ hand. He was slightly surprised at the speed the fight ended but he didn’t show it. He smiled and gave Lucas and Freya a thumbs up.
Alex burned the person’s body while imprisoning his Soul. He used his system map to search if there were any other people around but he found none as they were all dead.
“Let’s go home!” Alex smiled as he walked out of the tunnel with his followers. Lucas and Freya finally got their revenge. They smiled and followed Alex happily.
