Legacy System: Rise Of The Richest Man

LS: 35

King Julian halted the complaints of the crew right away. They easily understood the king’s thought process, even though they feared it might provoke the dangerous opposition he anticipated.

If they should put a stop to everything and go back, they would have to climb over the mountain, which would take several days. Also, the mountain’s surface is filled with more abnormalities than the tunnel.

While Theobald still wasn’t convinced, he decided to wait and see the end results alongside the others.

They watched the wizard perform his test with extreme focus. Osborne’s chanting speed had somewhat increased and grown louder.

The tunnel was suddenly filled with a cacophony of different noises — the ominous sound from the tunnel’s end, the shrieks of the undead army, the sound of the hero slicing through the adversaries, and the voice of the wizard chanting. The place was nothing short of chaotic at that moment.

Meanwhile, William could still be seen in the middle of the undead hordes, zapping around swiftly at an unmatchable speed.

[ You’ve slain X1 Undead, EXP +77 ]

[ You’ve slain X1 Undead, EXP +90 ]

[ You’ve slain X1 Undead... ]

Numerous notifications popped up as he swiftly slaughtered through the ranks of the undead.

Having leveled up twice, his attack power and movement speed had reached a new peak, making him overpowered even in the midst of so many ferocious abnormalities.

Despite the extremely tiring task, the hero could not get tired. Each level up brought about an immediate boost to his attributes. Each level up boost brought his stamina and endurance back to its optimal state, making it nearly impossible for him to get tired even if he wanted to.

With newfound strength and unlimited endurance, he was simply unstoppable.

SWING! SWING!

CLATTER! CLATTER!

These sorts of sounds escaped amidst the hordes trying to take him down.

“They are far weaker than the Cranosith, and their intelligence is very low. This makes their attacks easier to predict. The only problem here is their fucking insane population.”

William muttered to himself as he lunged toward a very tall, lean undead that swung a bone club at him. Twisting his hands expertly, he managed to decapitate it. As the tall undead’s head left its body, its body dismantled and joined the ever-increasing pile of bones forming in their midst. The attack it was launching before its death also came to an immediate halt.

SHRIEK!

SHRIEK!

As they always did, once a member of their rank died, the nearby undead shriek loudly and try to avenge their death by going all out and attacking in large numbers.

Unfortunately for the undead and luckily for the hero, their movement and attacks could be spotted easily. As they were far weaker than the hero, it was a lot easier to surpass their speed and slaughter them without incurring major injuries.

Of course, William wasn’t perfect. He had sustained several small cuts in different parts of his body. But he was unfazed for two reasons — first, the pain was bearable, and second, he would definitely receive a healing potion from the wizard afterward, or so he thought.

Paying no attention to the small injuries building up in his body, William slaughtered and slaughtered.

The small battlefield was quickly littered with bones.

Moving within the small space became extremely uncomfortable as there were so many bones on the floor.

The bones on the floor were a great test for William’s balance and stamina. It took sheer focus and trained movement to avoid losing balance while treading on the bones.

[ You’ve slain X1 Undead, EXP +108 ]

[ You’ve slain X1 Undead, EXP +73 ]

[ You’ve slain X1 Undead... ]

[ You’ve leveled up ]

[ Level 10 ----> Level 11 ]

Once again, he achieved a level up.

An influx of energy rushed into his body, filling him with more strength, agility, and stamina than before.

Such was easily noticed by the simple flickering of his wrist while swinging a sword. It was almost impossible to notice the sword moving due to the extreme speed behind it.

William also achieved a new level of his sword mastery with his new power level. It was something peculiar to novels he had read on Earth and something he had experienced in this world some days back.

SWING!

As he swung his sword, an invisible blade arc accompanied it and launched towards the neck of the opponent.

The blade arc slitted the neck of the undead off its body, even without the blade coming into contact with it.

William’s eyes widened when he witnessed this, and a brief smile appeared on his face.

“It was just as I predicted! The distance covered and the attacking power of the blade arc would increase the more I level up!”

William muttered with a bright expression on his face.

Although the effective distance of the new move was limited, William was confident it would keep growing in the future and reach a point where he could kill an enemy far away just by swinging his sword.

Simply imagining those scenes made a positive warmth blossom in his heart. He could not wait to achieve that level.

For now, he could only focus on slaughtering the enemies and completing his mission.

“Wow! It is glowing!”

The soldiers standing around the wizard exclaimed at the scene playing in front of them.

Osborne had finished chanting all the magical scripts on the scroll when the magic formation on the ground revealed a mesmerizing glow, signifying its true activation.

The light began from a single magical script in the middle of the formation. Then it gradually spread out to the other magical scripts and lines on the formation, and in about ten seconds, the entire magic formation was glowing.

Osborne rushed out of the magic formation once he was done. His curious eyes were locked in on the formation as it began to glow ever more brightly by the second.

King Julian watched keenly, swallowing nervous saliva at random intervals.

Theobald and his men had the same reaction as the king.

They waited earnestly with a single question in their hearts — what would the magic formation awaken?

As if answering their questions, the tunnel began to react differently.
