Chapter 157: Royal Bloodline
Olivia was not happy about the fact that every now and then, she had to remain behind when Henry went to fight. She was his second in command, and she was supposed to be his support. But, now, she was completely useless in some fights.
For example, during the time that Henry was fighting against the clone, she was not there as well. For that reason, she had decided to go against the order that Henry had given for them to retreat back to the territory. And that was the reason why she had stayed around, and after 30 minutes went by, she decided to make a move.
It seemed that what she had planned had actually paid off. Otherwise, Henry would have perhaps been killed. And now, just dealing with the scorpion was giving them a lot of problem although there were three of them combined.
Additionally, each and every one of them possessed incredible combat capabilities. But nonetheless, they were actually not capable of dealing with the scorpion. Moreover, the red aura that was surrounding it easily prevented their attacks from doing any damage to the Scorpion.
But when Henry came over, just a single attack from him was able to easily decapitate the Scorpion that had been troubling them for a long time now.
Although it might be true that the scorpion did not deal any damage to them, of course other than Adam who had already passed out, but still, the skills that the scorpion possessed made it difficult for them to kill it.
Although she could not tell whether Henry would have easily dealt with the scorpion if he came earlier, but still, she believed that this was completely possible. After all, she had already experienced his combat power. And, the range between them was continuously increasing.
Although she was a prideful person, but still, she knew the times when she was supposed to back down. And, it was also during this moment that she was supposed to back down a little.
Anyway, that did not imply that she was going to give up. Instead, she was going to make sure that at least she caught up to Henry, and if that was not possible, at least, she had to make sure that the range between the two of them was not that big.
For that reason, this time, she decided to completely follow what Henry had said. She took the three items that had dropped after Henry had killed the Scorpion. She did not look about the details of the things that she had picked up, but instead, she kept them away.
She then nodded at Diana, and the two of them decided to move. Since the Bronze rank monsters were causing a lot of trouble, and, it did not seem like they were going to end despite the fact that they had already killed many of them, then, Olivia and Diana decided to take this chance to kill them as well.
Although it might be true that by killing low-level Bronze rank monsters, they would not be able to easily level up, but at least, bronze rank monsters had some impact on their leveling up.
So, the two of them moved with incredible speed. None of them was holding back, considering that, now that Henry was here, they did not have to worry much. Anyway, they had not seen any problem that Henry could not handle.
Although it was true that he collapsed after dealing with the clone, but still, he had already dealt with the most dangerous creature that had been summoned over by the Necromancer.
While the two ladies moved on, Henry approached the feline creature. And when the creature saw him approaching, it finally began moving its body that had been in the same position ever since Henry saw it.
"It seems that the human race has got some talents. But it is a pity that you will not be able to grow up." A voice like that of a male youth suddenly reached Henry’s ears.
Henry was a little stunned. He had not expected that there was actually another person that was going to talk to him. He looked around cautiously, but no matter how much he looked, he did not see any person.
With a frown on his face, he looked at the monster in front of him, and soon, a stats panel appear in front of him.
[Black tiger
Race: Monster Race (Royal bloodline)
Power Level: Level 7 bronze rank
Skills: Mighty aura, Spiritual speech, poisonous claws, size control, earth pillars, earth wall, earth spikes.
Affinity: Earth ]
Henry was a little dumbfounded. This was the first time that he was seeing a creature with some other details placed inside a bracket. Even when he was looking at the stats of the clone, there was not anything like that.
Royal bloodline? Did that imply that the monsters actually possessed a ruling instruction that was going to divide between royalty and commoners? Where was that concept coming from?
The level of the monster in front of him did not surprise him much. Since this monster was actually capable of mobilizing such a large number of monsters to come over and attack his territory, that implied that, it was not to be messed with.
But still, there was something that caught his attention. That was the fact that, this was the creature that he had seen that possessed so many skills. The majority of those that he had seen their stats only possessed about five skills at most.
[Some skills were not learnt, but instead, they came from the bloodline of the monster. They were inherent. So, they do not take a skill slot.]
At this time, a prompt from the soul system appeared in front of him. After reading the explanation that he was given, Henry finally got an understanding of the reason why the monster in front of him actually possessed so many skills.
"Are you done looking into my information with the skill that the human’s possess? Anyway, I do believe that you don’t have the capability of seeing through me." The voice reached Henry’s ears once again.
And this time, Henry did not have to look around anymore. Instead, he knew that it was the monster in front of him that was speaking to him. After all, that spiritual speech was not something that he needed an explanation to understand.
As for what the monster had said that he was not capable of seeing its stats, Henry did not respond. Anyway, it was not as if he was going to gain anything by telling the monster that he had actually seen through every detail that he could get for now.
Although he did not get the explanation of everything, but at least, he knew one or two things about the feline creature. Anyway, it was going to be better if he kept the monster in the dark.
"I really did not have to deal with you humans so soon. I was supposed to begin dealing with the other races so that I can make sure that our monster race gains an advantage. But, you humans provoked me." The voice rang in the air once again. But this time, there was clear anger within it
"Rather than speaking nonsense, why don’t we just battle it out?" Henry asked as he activated the energy in his body. In the next moment, the sword that he was carrying in his hand was suddenly enveloped by fire.
This time, there was a large part of the flame that was covering the sword that had turned red. Although yellow was the one that was dominating the flame, but still, currently, the red flame was covering at least one third of the entire flame.
When the tiger realized that Henry was not willing to talk, it did not say anything more. Instead, using one of its forelimbs, it stomped onto the ground.
The ground shook. And in the next moment, Henry felt that there was danger. Although he felt that this kind of danger was not enough to threaten his life, but still, it was able to injure him.
It seemed that the tiger was not going to play around like the ground had done. Instead, it had already begun utilizing the skills that it possessed from the start.
Pushing his feet onto the ground, and Henry bent his knees a little before he catapulted himself backwards. And the moment that he did that, several spikes shot out from the ground.
It was clear that the monster had tried the earth spikes. Of course, Henry was not willing to be passive during this moment. So, while still in the air, he launched the fire arrows.
Had it not been for the fact that he had just activated power surge, a skill that consumed half of the energy in his body to increase the attack power by three times, and it had a cool down of 1 hour, then, Henry would have decided to use that skill from the beginning.
The only reason why he decided to use power surge during the time that he was killing the scorpion was simply because, just from looking at the body of the scorpion that did not have many injuries, he knew that the defenses of the scorpion were quite high.
So, not willing to risk as the scorpion might explode in the next moment, he decided to use something that was going to end the life of the scorpion as soon as possible.
"Humph" when the tiger realized that Henry had easily evaded the attack that it had launched, it harrumphed. And when the rain of fire arrows came down from the sky, it did not underestimate them. Instead, the tiger utilized an earth wall to block the arrows.
Since Henry was not willing to give the tiger many chances to utilize its skills, he decided to immediately use the duplication skill. It had a cool down of 3 days, and, it had already been a few hours since the cool down ended.
And with that, he immediately activated the skill. With the activation of the skill, half of the remaining energy in Henry’s body was immediately consumed. Then, a splitting sensation suddenly hit Henry, and he felt that his body was being divided into two. But still, there was no pain.
