Chapter 743 The God Serpents Class Up 2

While Ghostpro kept cursing in disgust, all the men and women in the stands stood there in utter and total shock, not able to comprehend what they thought they were seeing.

From the beginning, they had gauged Ghostpro and felt like he would die in one hit, and that this ceremony would be held for nothing. Their assumptions had been true as the challenger had been unable to see his opponent before he got struck, and his head should have been blown off.

So what was this current scene?

Not only was Ghostpro perfectly fine and making a racket, but his opponent had also been insta-killed in a way they could not fathom. They had seen him strike Ghostpro, that was for sure.

It was like the force that was supposed to strike Ghostpro was retarded and had gone the other way, rather harming the attacker himself.

While the crowd was baffled, Ghost himself was patting his body down hysterically, like a woman covered in bugs trying to get them off of her. While this might seem like a shameful display, the fellow didn't care.

His eyes glinted with a sharp light, planning to use this act to waste time and recover more Bloodline Energy. Rebounding that hit alone had consumed 75% of his energy, telling Ghost just how powerful that attack was and how strong his assailant had been.

Sublime's notes had informed all of them that the AI calculated success chances based on your real-time power against the objective of the quest, so the reason why he got a 70% success rate was not because it was easy, but because he had a good chance to succeed as long as he used his head.

Bloodline users were like World Bosses in reality compared to a normal human. They were invincible until they entered their 'weakened' phase, where you could whale on them, but every other moment, you better kowtowed to your better.

In this case, bloodline users were god when they had Bloodline Energy, but the moment they ran out, they were no different from puppies unless they had other powers to back them up.

So the bloodlines weren't invincible! A normal person could take down a bloodline holder as long as they played it smart! The universe was fair and balanced!

Hahaha… no!

The universe was not fair, it was VERY biased, especially towards its favorites. Bloodline holders fell into that category.

Unfortunately for you, someone who wanted to kill a bloodline holder, while it was true that they +rely on Bloodline Energy and become useless without it, the higher their bloodline purity, the faster they recovered it.

For fellows like Draco and Eva, it was within 1-3 seconds. It was just that most of their techniques required more base power than they could provide, hence why they were almost emptied with every attack.

For fellows like Essence, Kiran, Misery, and these God Serpent bastards, it was a matter of 10-30 seconds given their high purity. At the next tier were Loving Aunt, Walter, Juno, Sublime, and Ao Potian, they would need about a minute.

So Ghostpro reached full capacity after messing around for a bit, stopping the moment has tank was full again, placing his hands into his pockets lazily, and gazing at the crowd with a taunting smirk.

Soon, the next Class Lord came up, who was a sword user wearing a black trenchcoat and leather armor. Interestingly, the crowd warped into sword users as well who wore similar attires, though they retained the same faces.

However, their reactions revealed that this was the first time seeing Ghost, which greatly intrigued the fellow as to how the AI was handling the backend of all of this.

Without warning the sword user also rushed forth, aiming to decapitate Ghost in one hit. This time, Ghost was ready as he allocated all his extra points into Dexterity. He had 116 stats free to allocate, and all his other stats were 1. So his Dexterity was now 117 points, even higher than Draco and Eva at Rank 3.

Though, that was only so because Draco and Eva allocated points across the board, without min-maxxing. As for Ghost, he fully min-maxed here because he didn't care about Strength he could just reflect an enemy's attack with Orochi's fourth special ability.

He didn't care about Endurance because obviously, he had Orochi's other three special abilities, the first which gave him invincibility to magic or physical attacks that are not backed by godly might (i.e Divine Rank within Boundless), the second which allowed him to regen from anything as well as everything, and the third which allowed him to live forever.

He didn't care about Intelligence because his second, third, and fourth heads allowed him to use poison, fire, and ice breath respectively, so no need for magic. There was no need for Spirit since it didn't affect bloodline recovery rate.

Only Dexterity was necessary to allow him to keep up with his foes and buy himself time to regen energy while dodging, if necessary.

Ghostpro immediately noticed the difference. Now with his Dexterity so high, the movements of his foe looked slow to him, like he was moving at 0.75x speed while he, Ghost, was moving at 1.00x speed.

Ghost grinned and avoided his enemy's blow with ease. In real-time, he could see the fellow's expression change to shock, and that of the crowd as well.

He decided to have a bit of fun and spat ice in the face of his enemy who had come into close range. It was impossible for his enemy to dodge this since Ghost was faster, not to mention he never expected it.

The inheritor was left speechless when he saw his enemy's head turn into an ice sculpture, and the rest of his body paused despite not being frozen. Ghost lazily made circles around the fellow, then pushed him.

The body crashed into the ground, the head cracking open like a vase as frozen chunks of brain and blood spread about.

Ghost was thoroughly speechless.

'That only cost me like 0.2% of my bloodline energy…' He could only think in disbelief.

Ghost was now beginning to understand just how powerful his bloodline was, not just in defense, but in offense as well. He always had the mentality of laxly taking things head-on and allowing people to explode themselves attacking him, but he realized that should be used as a last resort.

Orochi actually had the power to burn, freeze or poison anything with ease. Ghost knew this because the ice he spat wasn't even potent. He knew he could reach Absolute Zero as long as he pumped enough energy into the attack, increasing the range and duration as well.

Ghost raised a fist and looked at himself in solemnity.

"So this is the power of Orochi Instinct."

Orochi groaned in pain at that, shuddering from embarrassment, Ghostpro ignored him and saw his next enemy come up, who was a man wielding an axe and wore studded hide armor.

"Well, this should be fun." Ghost stated as he jumped towards his opponent, using the first head to launch himself over at high speeds. The warrior with the axe showed panic, but could not respond in time, leaving Ghost to stomp his chest into the ground at almost 200km/h.

The arena caved in a little, not to mention his opponent's chest which sunk in, coasting Ghosts boots in blood and innards.

Ghost stood there, just like that, both his feet planted in his victim's torso, rubbing his chin with amusement. "So the problem has always been me. There are a hundred and one ways to use Orochi's power and I've only stuck to one."

Ghost finally pulled his feet out of the fellow ribcage and wiped his foot on the floor. "At least, the AI has given me some fellows to practice with. I'll need to find new combos later on after this is over though."

The next fighter appeared with a newly dressed crowd, this time being a spear wielder. He roared and launched at Ghost, aiming to run him through brutally.

Ghost smiled and snapped his finger, using the eight head to manipulate Darkness Energy to create a spear of his own. Only that his emerged from the ground and struck towards his airborne foe like a viper.

The spear wielder showed a look of regret and terror before his chest was pierced through by the solid manifestation of darkness, which dissipated the next second, allowing his lifeless body to fall to the ground.

The fifth Class Lord appeared, this time a rogue wielding two daggers who had a toolbelt full of all sorts of things. This one immediately entered basic stealth and rushed to get behind Ghost.

"If I can't see you, I just have to flush you out, no?" Ghost stated calmly.

He then used the second head to spray out a thick wad of greenish poison that soon coated the entire arena. In a matter of seconds, Ghost heard the sound of pain coughing, as the form of the rogue came out of stealth, rolling on the floor in agony as their greenish skin leaked pus and blood.

They coughed and wheezed while screaming like that, stretching their hand out to Ghost for help until they died. The challenger, for that matter, looked on silently with a serious expression.

He rubbed his face and sighed. "That wasn't pleasant to look at. At all. Fuck."

He wore a tired expression on his face as he placed both hands at the back of his waist. "Well, the poison stuff is only for difficult foes or people who I want to suffer, shouldn't be used casually on humanoids at least."

The sixth foe came, who was a fully cloaked assassin with similar garb to the rogue, but far deadlier. They immediately entered advanced stealth and blinked behind Ghost.

"Since I can't use poison, I'll use fire then." Ghost stated as he breathed flames all around his body, eventually stopping when he heard screaming.

The assassin ran about while on fire, dropping to the floor and rolling to get it out, but was impossible since these flames were made from bloodline power.

As such, he continued to shout and scream like that until he made his last death throe and plopped down, blackened and charred.

Ghost was silent once more, gazing at his handiwork with mixed emotions.

'Hey Orochi… why do all your powers induce a slow and painful death for your foes?'

'You humans listen to music all the time, right? In order to soothe your souls? Well, the scream of agony and pain of others is like music to me. So I developed a variety of powers to help me hear them.' Orochi answered excitedly, like someone being asked what their favorite genre of music was.

Ghost: "…"

The assassin's corpse was cleared off and this time, the seventh Class Lord appeared, who was an archer. He knocked five arrows at once and fired them at Ghost without even greeting him.

Ghost created a wall with darkness energy to catch the arrows and left them on the ground.

"Honestly, I think ice is the best one for painless deaths. I'll stick to that for now." Ghost muttered to himself.

He then ignored the next set of arrows and used his fifth head's space traversal ability to blink behind the archer, then breathe ice over his entire body. The archer was immediately turned into a frozen sculpture and then broken into pieces.

Ghost casually repeated this for the eighth and ninth Class Lords, who were a mage and a cleric respectively. The final Cass Lord was a bard who began strumming his lute.

Not wanting to suffer any meaningless mental trauma, Ghost just incinerated him with a powered-up fire breath. After that, the world around him began to collapse on him.

Ghost was back in the private room, and saw the screens pop up before him. Half-interested, he clicked yes.

Ghost froze before the menu, his mouth slowly dropping. To be honest, when he read a lame class name like 'Classmaster', he truly wasn't expecting much from it. Especially since he discovered more of Orochi's usefulness during the test he figured he would be using his bloodline more.

"Well, right. Draco also said that the guild supports Supernatural and all of us God Serpents Inheritors are automatically members of Supernatural. I should probably go and tell him about Superhuman and that Rothschild woman." Ghost mused as he left the Training Hall.

.........…..

Krona was whisked away into blackness, re-appearing in the middle of the sea.

?System to Player Announcement

Beginning Sub-Mariner Class Up Procedure. Standby.?

He noticed that he was currently floating above the surface while it was a cloudy day, but with no rain. He saw no sight of land anywhere near him, and the water itself was a bit disturbed. Even worse, there were hundreds of human ships around him that were pointing their cannons at him.

?Sub-Mariner – Divine Class Up Procedure

Description: The Sub-Mariner is the lord of the depths, ruler of all behemoths in the under depths, and controller of the waters. He hardly comes to the surface, for their world is so bleak and the air so thin. However, as the Sub-Mariner of this generation, you are invested in both the matters of land and sea. Fulfill your duty.

Rewards: Divine Class - Sub-Mariner.?

Krona guessed what he was supposed to do. "I guess I'm supposed to be some bootleg Aquaman? Protector of poor, weak sea animals and monsters? Hm."

He was not peeved, neither was he excited. He simply hoped that whatever details the class had would be fitting enough for what he envisioned for himself and for his future.

?System to Player Announcement

The objective of the Sub-Mariner Class Up Procedure has been set. Player Kronalord must destroy the Omega-Raider Pirates to clear this task.?

"Hmmm…" Krona frowned, but did not waste time.

The water beneath his body churned and rose like a spout, placing him high above the ships around. Krona then twisted his hand in a circle, like he was turning a knob.

Immediately, the entire area began to shake and quake furiously. The pirates on the ships shouted in fear and horror, their captains roaring at them to keep steady and fire upon the anomaly that was Krona.

Krona's eyes flashed as he created a water barrier to ward off the projectiles, all the while still twisting his hand. The water continued to churn and began to spin, creating a minor whirlpool that was growing in power.

When the pirates understood what he was trying to do, their hearts went cold. This fellow was genuinely trying to do away with them once and for all!

Immediately, the tempo of attacks speed up and many pirates with unique abilities began to launch themselves at Krona in a bid to stop him.

Krona could only tsk and let go of the whirlpool and created a water dragon that carried him around the battlefield with ease, diving into the ships and ripping them apart while he himself dealt with the individual attackers.

The sea was thrown into turmoil in lieu of this fight, and Krona was surprised to find that he wasn't the only one who could control water. When the captains of the various ships put down their hats and got into the fight personally, Krona witnessed them display new powers he could not have thought of.

"Die you freak of the depths, die and let us receive the blessing of the various Sea Gods!" One Pirate Captain roared with madness in his eyes.

"Nngh!" Krona defended a head-on blow from the fellow as the pirate captain passed through the water shields and defenses like a fish at sea. Koran was blasted back onto the surface of the water, but did not sink in.

Instead, he hit the surface like it was land, bouncing and rolling back for a few meters. He rose to his feet and cricked his neck, suffering no damage from that with the kind of physique Leviathan gave him.

He was - in essence - like Spiderman. What would happen if a spider had all its biological traits but was the size of a human. Likewise, Koran passively had all the traits of Leviathan as a behemoth, but was condensed and compacted into this human body.
