Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 56: who am I?

"The invisible wall?" Noan frowned and asked.

It was midnight. After two hours of ’fun’ with Vylyss, she held Noan in her arms and recounted what she had seen earlier that afternoon.

"So, the explosion this afternoon was..."

"That’s right, Master." Vylyss couldn’t conceal it and said, "I tried using magic to destroy it, but it seemed not to react at all."

"In other words, neither physical force nor magic can affect that invisible wall."

"I also researched because I thought it might be a magical seal. However, there were no signs of magical energy or traces indicating that humans created this wall."

"Because of that, everything has reached a dead end. But Urlgug is leading everyone to investigate whether there is another path or some way to bypass this invisible wall."

Noan furrowed his brows, murmuring, "Could this place be a cage?"

He recalled countless theories he had heard or read back in that city—about how the System was created by a transcendent being or a civilization far more advanced than humanity.

They would force humans to fight until they found the strongest ones, who would then serve that superior civilization.

Because of this, Noan suspected that the sudden change in the training format for Lords was the will of the civilization that had created the System.

Noan shook his head, unwilling to think further. After all, he was still too weak, and there was no need to concern himself with such a massive issue.

"Alright, if you and the others can’t find another way to leave this place, try to find a safe location to establish a new base."

"Understood, Master." Vylyss spoke as she pulled Noan tightly into her chest.

Noan: "..."

Oy! I’m having a serious conversation here! Fine, I’ll let it slide this time since it’s so soft and fragrant.

Inside Noan’s mind, foolish thoughts surfaced, but in the end, he still ’endured’ the softness and allure of Vylyss.

Krit! Krit!

Zhisse’s furious cries echoed, its body swinging like a breaker ball.

"Huh!" Vylyss snorted disdainfully, flicking her hand lightly, making the chains tighten again.

KRIT!!

Zhisse let out a pained shriek. Seeing this, Noan spoke gently, "Alright, don’t do that."

"Huh! It dared to break the romantic atmosphere I created! I haven’t killed it only because it’s your creature, otherwise..."

Noticing Vylyss’s sulking expression, Noan found it somewhat amusing.

Of course, Vylyss obeyed him, waving her hand to loosen the chains slightly.

Zhisse no longer howled but used its six eyes to glare at Vylyss, its gaze filled with fury and resentment.

Krit! Krit!

A low growl came from Zhisse’s mouth as if it were cursing Vylyss. However, the sound was too faint for either Vylyss or Noan to make out.

Naturally, Vylyss paid no mind to Zhisse. Instead, she gently stroked Noan’s hair and whispered, "Master, the night is still long... shall we ’enjoy’ ourselves a little more?"

Noan sighed. He felt that no matter how much his strength increased, it would never be enough to satisfy Vylyss.

However, as a man, this was both his duty and responsibility.

And then…

…

Two days later.

Noan looked at the Skeletons before him, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. Yesterday and today, when summoning Skeletons, the 10% chance to double the number of summons had failed to activate.

Of course, no mutated Skeletons had appeared either.

However, he felt that this was still enough. After all, he intended to use the Skeleton soldiers as material for Zhisse’s evolution.

On the first day, he summoned 40 rank-F Skeletons. Combining them with the leftover Skeletons from before, which he had been unable to fuse, he created 8 rank-E Skeletons, with 1 Skeleton remaining at F+.

Today, after summoning and fusing, he had 12 rank-E Skeletons, with only a few lower-ranked ones left.

"Zhisse, are you ready?"

Hearing Noan’s question, Zhisse immediately placed one foot on its forehead, adopting an extremely serious expression.

Krit! Krit!

Noan gave the command, "Evolve Zhisse."

[Ding! Do you want to use 6 rank-E materials to evolve Zhisse?]

This chapt𝙚r is updated by freeωebnovēl.c૦m.

"Confirm!"

[Ding! Evolution process starting!]

Immediately, Zhisse was once again enveloped by countless honeycomb-like magical runes.

Noan wasn’t particularly worried. After all, this process was completely safe and wouldn’t pose any danger.

He was looking forward to whether a mutation would occur when Zhisse advanced from rank E to E+.

It was well known that mutated monsters were far stronger than regular ones within the same rank.

Notable examples included the Skeleton Hunters, Shielders, and Swordsmen he possessed.

More importantly, there were Urlgan, Urlgug, and Vylyss.

Among them, Vylyss displayed the most outstanding performance. Not only could she use the magic typically available to Succubi, but she could also wield additional spells beyond that.

Particularly, there was the Infernal Chains—a spell capable of summoning chains that pierced through space to attack and restrain enemies.

If Urlgan and Vylyss were to battle, there was no doubt that Vylyss would immediately overpower him with her control abilities.

After a while, Noan felt a noticeable increase in his physical strength.

He had reached a level six times that of an ordinary person, and it was still continuing to rise.

His body turned red like a burning coal, radiating an overwhelming heat that caused thick smoke to billow from his skin.

Yet, he didn’t feel hot. On the contrary, he felt incredibly comfortable, as though every cell in his body was growing stronger.

His internal organs also became more robust, functioning more efficiently. Any toxins lingering in his system were incinerated, turning into smoke that drifted out of his body.

After a while, his body gradually stabilized. Noan clenched his fist, sensing that his strength had now reached seven times greater than an ordinary person’s.

He raised his arm, watching as his fist became encased in black scales—similar to Urlgan’s skin—before he threw a punch.

BAM!

The shockwave exploded with a deafening sound, like the detonation of fireworks.

Noan stared at his fist, slowly focusing on the power surging within him.

’This is terrifying,’ he thought. ’Right now, I’m only a Level 1 Lord, yet my strength has already reached this level. If I reach Level 4 and obtain a Class of my own, my power will ascend to an entirely new realm.’

Noan forced himself to suppress the arrogance stirring inside him.

He refused to let this small achievement make him forget that, in the end, he was still just an F-rank Lord.

One must remember that countless beings were far stronger than him out there.

For that reason, he refused to be complacent.

Keng!

At that moment, a sound like shattering glass echoed, followed by the sight of a spider radiating an eerie black glow, hovering in midair.

[Ding! Congratulations! Zhisse has successfully evolved into Dark Tri-Spider – Rank D (Mutated)]

…

Name: Zhisse – Dark Tri-Spider

Rank: D (Mutated)

Level: 1

Description:

The Dark Tri-Spider not only possesses unparalleled assassination and tracking abilities, but it also wields a variety of magical powers.

Additionally, it has an exceptional capacity for learning.

The silk of the Dark Tri-Spider is of immense value and can craft clothing and weaponry. This silk provides a certain degree of resistance against physical and magical attacks.

…

’Where… is this place?’

Zhisse slowly opened its eyes and saw a young man standing before it, his face filled with joy.

’Ah! That’s… my Master. He evolved me again?’

’Wait! This stream of memories… what is this?’

’Who… who am I?’

’Ah! That’s right! I’m a Spider.’
