Chapter 258: Time to Become a Cultivator
Location: Inside Seraph's alchemy room
An old man wearing a long black hat walked inside step by step.
Greak!
"Hello, little one. Is it finished yet?"
The carriage conductor smiled slightly, looking at the still Seraph.
Seraph nodded. "There's only one last step left."
Controller A tilted his head in confusion. What was the last step?
"The last step? Is there even such a thing?"
Seraph was extremely anxious. [What should I do? If it's like this, it's a gamble.]
Controller A took another step closer to Seraph. Greak!
Controller A looked down at the ground. The cauldron had been destroyed by Seraph's leveling up.
"The cauldron is scattered everywhere. Where's the pill?"
Seraph pointed up at the sky, the stone ceiling.
"Upstairs."
Controller A looked up. Looking up,
her right foot was on a shard of pottery.
There was something lurking beneath the shard.
In another location, a young girl, Rindel, was sitting at a table eating sweets and watching the people walking by.
One hand was eating sweets, and the other was reading a book.
"How to Preserve the Incomplete Pill, Volume Thirty-Second.
If I remember correctly, and my predictions were correct, around this time the experimental Longevity Pill would expire.
If it wasn't stored in a storage bottle, I'd know it was the right place to store it."
Rindel estimated the pill's expiration date to be around this time.
This meant that Seraph's pill, which hadn't been stored, would have expired.
Seraph didn't know, because Rindel hadn't warned him, and Rindel didn't bother to explain, thinking that someone with my skill would have to warn him.
No way.
Back in the medicine room, Seraph pointed to the sky.
The guard stood looking over the leaves. Beneath Warden A's feet, a longevity pill was beginning to turn red.
And a loud pop! The weight of Warden A, though not particularly heavy, had increased.
The dark red longevity pill had expired and was being stepped on.
Warden A, at that moment, heard a pop!
His gaze fell on the ground, and boom! A red explosion blew Warden A's leg off. Boom!
Ugh...!?
Warden A was shocked. His right foot was missing, leaving only red blood dripping down.
"You, you, you're dead, you little brat!"
Warden A looked up at Seraph. He was fast as he turned.
The expression that said, "Today you must die," was etched on his face.
A distorted face, with a murderous thirst, saw Seraph.
The gun-wielding man A golden bullet in his hand.
Seraph, despite not understanding the situation, prepared his attack.
"Congratulations! You've won a lucky bullet!"
Bang!
A golden bullet flew toward its target. Pew!
A bullet of light shot forward. Whoosh!
Guardian A stood still, not dodging the bullet, as it missed the guard's attack range.
Pew!
The lucky bullet disappeared into the shadows, leaving Seraph standing with his gun pointed forward.
Guardian A was extremely cautious, thinking it was a decoy attack and that the main attack would be direct.
However, this was far from his expectations. Seraph remained motionless.
[The second attack didn't come. Does that mean the attack that he had just made will return!?]
Guardian A quickly turned his head to look behind him.
Seraph, seeing the gap, charged forward. Pew!
Seraph ran hurriedly, coming within close range.
Seraph gripped his right hand tightly. His expression remained calm.
It was as if he were standing behind Guard A.
[That lucky gun is very useful. I guess I need to teach him a lesson.
But first, let me test his Second Spirit Skill. I want to see it too.
What kind of ability will it reveal? I just want it to be an offensive skill.]
Seraph used his Second Spirit Skill, his right hand clenched tightly.
A yellow glow was glowing from Seraph's right hand.
A yellow glow shone through Seraph's fist.
Seraph swung a punch, punching Guard A in the back. Pewwwww!
Thump!
Seraph's punch landed in Guard A's back.
A scorching sound came from Guard A.
Ugh...!?
Guard A gasped, his face showing a look of pain.
[This guy is so fast. He tricked me twice. I finally fell for him!?]
Guard A collapsed to the ground with a thud. Thud!
Seraph swung his hands back and forth, trying to relax after a single punch.
"It's over… Amazing! One punch and you can take my opponent down. Am I such a genius?"
Seraph looked at Guard A's back.
A cloth covered the wound from Seraph's punch.
No blood was coming from his back.
Seraph looked at Guard A's body and quickly jumped away. Whoosh!
Seraph jumped away, keeping his distance from Guard A, who was lying on the ground.
"Does this seem weird?"
Guard A slowly stood up, his right foot bleeding nonstop. His face showed the utmost anger.
His face was completely red, not because he was angry that Seraph had punched him.
A loud shout rang out. "You're dead, you little brat! How dare you mock me! "
BOOM!
The wind rumbled throughout the room.
Seraph was stunned. "How did you do that? That's my second skill, isn't it?"
[Tch, it has the ability to regenerate the body. It can't be that. Then that scream just now, was it playing with a dartboard?]
Guardian A pulled a sword out of thin air.
"How dare you...? You're so bold, you little brat. You can humiliate me like this.
You'll definitely suffer before you die."
Seraph looked like he was thinking hard about his next move.
"You're quite capable. You can withstand my attacks."
"Withstand my attacks. You're kidding me, aren't you? Sure, sure. You can make me scream. You'll die today."
Seraph nodded, pointing behind Guard A.
"Sir, behind me."
Seraph spoke with a calm expression, in the eerie darkness.
Guardian A's back It's very dark.
Seraph thought about asking Warden A to help him open another gap.
[Please, turn your back and let me punch him again. Maybe there was a slight mistake, or maybe he's wearing armor, protecting his back, making the attack ineffective.
Even though it's suspicious, the screams he just made must have been injuries from the attack.
Please, I'll hit him harder this time. Let me punch him again. Lucky Gun, you'll survive. You'll get what's coming to you.]
Warden A ignored his back and focused on the front.
[This kid's really fast. Even though he opened a gap, he's really fast.
He can appear behind me, so he's not that bad.
I've lost a lot of ground to him. What exactly does he want? His goal isn't to kill me...
If that attack was serious, I'll be seriously injured.
What are they thinking? I can't even predict it!]
Warden A was confused by Seraph's thoughts.
Warden A used his third spirit skill. A dark red fireball, with intense heat. Appearing in front of the guards, a
red and orange light, the heat was so intense that it could be said that the surrounding area was burning.
A large fireball blocked Seraph's escape route.
It could be said that if he wanted to pass, he had to crash into the fireball.
Seraph, who could feel the heat, remained extremely cool.
[Using his calm composure, he defeated that fire...
Well then, it's time to say goodbye. What a wonderful life! The final struggle must begin.]
Seraph held a Spirit Stone in his right hand.
The red circular stone in Seraph's hand was heavy enough to be called a rock.
When it hit a person's head, it meant that some blood would come from it.
Seraph used his second Spirit Skill. A golden light shone through Seraph's hand.
The golden hand gripped the crystal ball tightly.
"Then, good luck."
Seraph threw the Energy Stone, attacking in a straight direction. Pew!
