Lucifer's Descendant System-Chapter 314 - 314 Unforeseen Consequences

"Anyone disagrees on giving the rest of the Essence to him?" Michael's proposal left him astounded, but also glad. After all, aside from the fact there was still two Essences per person, there was also the Essence that would've belonged to those who died still in the bag.

The numbers began to appear in Noah's mind. How many dungeons and points he would've needed to get all that Essence from the Khan Family. Two Essence for each person in their team, plus six for each member who had died, plus his own share of six Essence. An absurd total of 54 Essence, that was Michael's absurd proposal. 'There's no way they'll agree to this, right?' he thought in awe.

"Nobody? Good." But aparently, for some reason, nobody had disagreed at all, and Michael ended that whole conversation by throwing the whole bag at him. "There you go, Noah."

"Wait! Isn't this too much? Are you guys sure about this?" Noah asked after catching the bag. This was the ammount of Essence he would get for clearing a whole ten of the fortress they had just gotten out of, it was not something he could just brush of a mere amenity.

"Oh, come on. This was not our usual arena. Two families had went way above the limited skill level, and our family's standing got a huge boost all thanks to you," Michael sat back down, crossing his leg while putting a hand under his chin. "But I hope this is enough to make you understand how valuable you are to our group. We want to ensure you'll stick around, that's all."

Noah looked around, and quickly understood the position he was in. In the end, it was his fault for convincing them to join the arena, and winning against the cheating teams would earn the whole group a lot of favor from the Khan Family. "Oh, well... Guess I can't refuse it, can I?" he shrugged, before breaking his poker face and smiling. "I'll be in your care from now on."

The took spent a significant amount of time talking about the fight. Noah was most impressed by how relevant the imps were. At first, he had thought they would act as cannon fodder during the battle, taking hits in their stead, but it seemed like, aside from the shield blessed who could brush them off with his blessing, everyone else on the enemy side was wary of them. Rather, because of this fight, everyone has extremely good impressions on them, more than even their fighting power, how loyal they were to orders, since when the blessed decided fighting was no longer a good choice, they respected it and just stood guard. Noah was proud, very proud. And calling them at once allowed him to even level the skill up. Noah stopped to stare at his status and the ridiculous improvements he'd made in such a short deal of time.

Skills:

(Hell Flames Lv 04, 10,523/12,500 exp: A technique that consists in summoning the flames of hell itself. The flames of hell did not differ from normal flames, but after cleansing so many sins and so many sinners, they became the most powerful flame, having already burned the god of flames himself, making him beg Lucifer to put out those flames before he died. To increase the power of the flames of hell skill, the user must burn sins or sinners.

After absorbing the 'Asset Weaponization' skill, it's now possible to condensate flames into the shape of weapons and manipulate them in the same way as flames.

(Hell Tunneling Lv 0[3], 1,428/1,500 exp: A technique that consists of opening a tunnel to hell and exiting somewhere else in a fraction of a second. The greater the distance, the more energy expended.

Pyakugan: After reaching Lv 02, the user learned to reduce the cost of each teleport, in addition to speed. As the user used the ability to move spatially so much, the user partially received a spatial perception even with eyes closed.)

(Hell's Contract Lv MAX: Only limited by the user's limitation, the skill can develop a contract that binds both parties to comply with everything required in the contract.

After absorbing the 'Blood Control' ability, it is now possible to force the target to accept contracts, as long as the user burns 100% of the target's blood.

For 30 minutes, the target will be required to follow all the commands defined in the contract. After 30 minutes, the target will die.]

(Hell's Summon Lv 03 1,106/100,000 exp: Skill used by great demons to summon armies of artificial inferior imps. Imps life is limited based on energy spent. The more energy, the longer the imp will last. Part of experience gained for killing monsters by imps, even without Lucifer's command, will go to Lucifer.

Lucifer once created an army of over 1,000,000 imps in the snap of his fingers because of the large amount of mana he possessed, in addition to the high skill level.

After ascending to level 03, the limit of imps the user can summon has grown following the calculations of the legions. Under the rulership of a Great Lord, the armies are able to grow as Units, and be commanded as groups, with a hierarchy and powers matchign it.

Currently available imps: 128[5]/128[8].)

(Devil Form Lv 01: 1,854/3,000 exp: Lucifer was born as an angel, but he needed to be the personification of evil to meet the requirements God had set for him to "Be the personification of evil." With the beautiful appearance that Lucifer had, no one would fear him, so thinking about it, Lucifer decided to create a form where he would be truly evil, a form that would not only invoke fear in people, but also increase Lucifer's strength greatly by consuming many flames of hell.

After absorbing the 'Asset Weaponization' skill, it's also possible to manifest some of Lucifer's tools for a short period.

The user will transform into Lucifer's "Personification of Evil" image and stats will be increased by 20%.)]

(Edge Mastery Lv 01: 894/10,000 exp: Lucifer is able to absorb the skill of sinners and rule over them as the ruler of all Hell. You can create a Mana Edge that can cut through anything less ethereal than it. The edge's power and efficiency is dependant on the Edge of the Blade used and the mana infused. After failing to cut, cannot be used until will is sharpened.)

(Impenetrable Selfless Bastion Lv 01: 0/25,000 exp:? Lucifer is able to absorb the skill of sinners and rule over them as the ruler of all Hell. Through the will to defend others, your shield is impenetrable and unstopable. Depends of selflessness behind the use. Takes an incredible amount of willpower.)

'Damn... I can't understand the new skills at all. Willpower, will, selflessness... What the hell do those mean when it comes to the system?' he thought, noticing the new skills at the bottom first. 'Units, huh... I guess those guys now have something like platoons if I want them too. That's nice. The ammount of them has increased by a lot too, but what the heck is with the amount of exp to level it up again? A hundred thousand? That's ludicrous!' Noah was stupified at how much the difficulty of things rose, but again, it made sense. 'No, it means I need to use them as a commander. The exp makes sense once you consider this means I have the equivalent of 8 D-Rank blessed parties to invade dungeons. Holy fucking lord of hell, I have the equivalent of 8 D-Rank Blessed parties to invade dungeons!'

Noah's thoughts on his own improvement were completely derailed, and he started thinking about many other implications of his improvement, not realizing how much his raw statuses had grown, until someone else mentioned it.

'Noah, don't you get say, strength and stuff when you burn sinners. What about the powers you got from burning all those people?' Lilith's voice made him raise his head and look at the top of the status page, at his own information.

'Oh, wow. Some of my status that had never changed have improved quite a lot. Even my health has gone up...' he thought to himself, talking to Lilith.

'Is that so? Doesn't that mean you are getting harder to kill. You feeling more and more like... someone I... Noah!' Lilith stopped herself, calling his name out loud.

'Huh? What is it?' he asked back, annoyed.

'I think I remember more about the past, I think I... Noah, can you please check my status and check what it says?'

'I can, but why would I do it?' he asked annoyed. 'Oh, what the heck? How did I make that much more money?' he looked at the value of his bank account, not caring about what Lilith was telling him at all.

'NOAH! OPEN THE DAMN THING NOW BEFORE I—' she started yelling in his mind, but stopped once she felt Noah's attitude change entirely.

'Lilith... just... what in the world are you?'

Lilith was taken aback by the coldness in Noah's voice, but she didn't quite understand why, until she tried to look at his face, slithering out of the armor, and noticed time had somehow seemed to stop.
