Chapter 257: Ranking Up

Booom! Booom!

Two consecutive explosions occurred. And Hanson who had turned into a black smoke was suddenly forced to materialize again. At this point, as he dropped onto the ground, he looked way more pathetic than ever before.

Currently, the majority of his skin had already been burnt. The reason behind this was due to the fact that this time, Hanson did not even try to defend against the attack.

Of course, this was not something that was done because he wanted not to block, but instead, in the form of a mist, he was not capable of doing that. He was only capable of moving around, but he was not capable of launching any attacks or defensive skills.

But that was not all. There was yet another fact that Hanson had not believed that Henry was capable of preventing him from leaving this place even if he had turned into mist.

Normally, as long as there was nobody that possessed the light element, then there was nobody that was capable of preventing a member of the dark race that possessed this skill that was capable of transforming their bodies into a dark mist from escaping.

That was the exact reason why the members of the dark race always hated those that possess the light element. At the end of the day, the light element was their nemesis.

And to say the truth, Hanson had never expected that Henry was capable of attacking him although he had already transformed into a mist. So at this time, he was looking at Henry with horror clear in his eyes.

During the first encounter between the two of them, he had already realized that Henry was kind of special. And for that reason, he was determined to either get him on their side, or if it was impossible to get him on their side, they could only get rid of him.

A person like Henry, if he was left to mature, then he was going to cause them trouble in the future. So, if he could not join them, it was better to get rid of him to avoid any future troubles.

But Hanson had never expected that it was going to be this troublesome to be able to get rid of Henry. The first time, Henry was capable of dealing with him completely, although it was just a clone of himself.

And this time, he had come over and possessed the body of a person called Hanson, but even then, he was not capable of dealing with Henry. For some reason, Henry’s strength and the entire group that he was along with had also risen to the silver rank.

Had it not been for the fact that he had this guy called Hanson come over so that he could take possession and deal with the problem himself, Hanson would have already been destroyed long ago.

But surprisingly, even though he had taken possession of the body, and even went ahead and improved the strength of this body, he was not capable of doing anything to Henry at all.

Until now, there was not even a single injury that was on Henry’s body. That implied that until now, Henry had not suffered a single attack from him.

And right now, for some strange reason, the flames that Henry possessed were actually capable of nullifying the skill that he had activated. And not only that, since he was in the mist form, that was the form that if he was attacked in, he was the most vulnerable.

That was the reason why currently, he had been fatally wounded. And, not to mention the fact that currently, due to the forceful increase in strength, the strength that the body that he was possessing had, was not at the same level as the current level that could be seen by Henry.

To say the truth, he was kind of weaker as compared to normal level 3 gold rank awakeners. Although it was true that currently his level was considered as level four of the gold rank, but the power that he possessed, it was way below that. That was the actual reason why Henry felt that this guy was weak as compared to the monsters that he had been fighting against inside the system space.

Of course, Henry was not amongst the group that was going to start a chat with an enemy. Currently, it was better to deal with this guy as soon as possible, to make sure that there was no any other trick that was going to be pulled.

So, without even giving Hanson a chance of saying anything, Henry attacked. He had already used the power surge skill before, so he was not capable of using it again.

Still, the two fire dragons that were floating in the air suddenly charged downwards. All of them had their mouths wide open, as if they were going to swallow Hanson in the next moment.

Other than that, just to make sure that this guy was completely destroyed, Henry went ahead and launched several fire arrows from the sky. So, as the fire arrows landed first, the fire dragons followed behind.

Booom! Booom! Booom!

Several explosions occurred. At the same time, the surrounding area was devastated. The ground was filled with several pot holes, with some areas even forming craters.

A shockwave was created, making Henry’s hair to ruffle. Still, although Henry was sure that he had killed Hanson this time because there was no way that he was capable of dodging with the injuries that he had suffered, he did not try to turn his gaze away.

He was not sure about Hanson possessing any other skill. So, it was better if he made sure that this guy died before he left this place.

Just as Henry was waiting, something that surprised him actually happened.

[Congratulations on ranking up to level 1 of the gold rank in the warlock profession.]

[Congratulations on ranking up to level one of the gold rank in the summoner profession.]

The moment that the two prompts appeared in front of him, Henry suddenly felt that a sudden huge amount of energy was poured into his body. It was as if suddenly, tired person was relieved.

And not only that, but even the energy that they had spent during all this time was actually recovered, and he felt so much energetic.

At this point, Henry felt that he was relieved from some kind of constraint. At the same time, the pressure that he was feeling on his spirit due to the activation of the fusion skill actually reduced drastically.

The moment that he realized that he had leveled up, Henry immediately knew that he had actually killed Hanson. Since that was the case, then there was no need for him to continue risking remaining in the fusion state, something that might end up making him lose his consciousness.

So after deactivating the duplication skill, Henry finally merged together, and became a single person again. After that, he deactivated the fusion skill, something that made his body glow golden.

A moment later, a golden light shot out of his chest. The golden light went ahead and transformed into Lenta. But, the appearance that Lenta possessed this time was not the same as the one that he possessed before Henry activated the fusion skill.

Currently, Lenta’s body had suddenly increased in size by almost twice. Currently, Lenta’s body was about 5 meters tall. And other than that, there was yet another feature that had been added on his body, and that was the fact that his carapace had suddenly gotten a golden tinge on his legs.

Even the aura that he was giving out this time was way denser as compared to the one that he could release before. That was obviously due to the fact that currently, he had already reached the gold rank.

He was not the only one who had experienced the changes. But Diana who was also not far away from where the battle had just ended had also gotten a boost. It was just that she did not have much transformation on her, other than the change in the aura that she was giving.

Since the battle had already ended, she was approaching Henry when everything suddenly happened. So, after a moment of surprise, she was still able to continue approaching Henry. And after arriving by his side, she looked at him, trying to make sure that he was not injured.

In any case, she thought that this was to be expected. At the end of the day, Henry was not a simple person. If he was simple, how was he possibly capable of being her master?

Of course, Henry believed that the changes had not occurred only to the two of them, but instead, even Storm who was not inside here had to be affected.

At the end of the day, Storm was also one of his summoned creatures. And for that reason, since his summoner profession had already reached the gold rank, then that implied that every summoned creature that he possessed was in the gold rank right now.

Although Henry felt that it was a pity that he was not going to receive any reward for being the first person to reach the gold rank, he did not really think much about it. At the end of the day, it was not as if he was going to be the first one for everything.

At the same time, he could not help but wonder why it was that Julie had not received anything. Or could it be that she had not just talked about it?

Thinking about this matter, Henry decided that he was going to ask her about that. If she did not receive anything, then that implied that there had to be someone else that had already reached the gold rank before them. And that implied that the competition that they were going to face was definitely higher.

"Let’s get into that building. I don’t know what is going on with those three, but we have to be careful. I don’t have a good feeling about that building." Henry stated to the two, before he took a step forward and began heading towards the building where Olivia and the rest of the group had entered.
