Ding! You have received a new mission.]

[KILL 5 HUMANS, INCLUDING AMIRA AND STORM.]

[TIME LIMIT: 74 HOURS.]

[REWARD: 15 CREATION POINTS, 10,000 DOLLARS.]

Lucifer read through the information, and his gaze turned sharp.

‘Kill?’ There was a brief hesitation in his pure, naive eyes. He was silent for a brief moment before clenching his fist.

‘As long as it can make me stronger. It doesn't matter how I obtain such strength.’ Resolving with himself, Lucifer raised his head to glance up at the skies.

Just then, he heard a faint rustle coming from nearby. Immediately, his gaze turned fierce.

In a blink, he heard faint voices emerging from the distant trees nearby.

The sky wasn't darkened, and the sun hung limply over the horizon, so after being obscured by the trees, Lucifer was able to see who was hiding behind them.

There were two wolves clad in black fur, which radiated an intense predatory aura. They growled repeatedly as though they were starved beasts as they stared at him.

Immediately, a wave of fear surged through Lucifer. However, subconsciously, his heart pounded loudly as though releasing a strange aura.

An ancient energy stirred within him, and the fear he previously felt disappeared in the blink of an eye.

[Primordial Bloodline Activated.]

At the flash of this message from the system, Lucifer could feel all sorts of changes happening to him.

In the system, all his stats had increased by roughly 5 full points. His aura changed slightly, resembling that of the beasts, and his eyes turned into ferocious golden slits.

For a brief instant, the wolves hesitated on whether to attack Lucifer.

Was he the beast, or were they? A glimpse of human-like doubt flickered in their eyes.

Lucifer, however, didn't have such thoughts.

The moment his bloodline activated, his mana points had begun drastically draining from the previous 100. In the blink of an eye, they had decreased drastically all the way to ninety.

‘While my bloodline is activated, I have to swiftly eliminate these beasts before it is too late!’

At this realization, Lucifer rushed up to the beast ahead.

Previously, even being confronted by little rabbits, he would be fearful, but now, confronted by two F-rank wolves, he didn't feel a single trace of fear.

His hand, filled with strength, swiftly moved forward.

The wolf seemed to sense the danger and moved to the side, dodging Lucifer’s sharp hand, which tried to claw through its heart.

Awooooooo

It let out a howl, then bared its fangs and charged at Lucifer.

Lucifer crouched down, his posture seeming like that of a beast, as he also let out a similar roar of his own and rushed towards the wolf.

Bang!

In an instant, both figures collided against each other. Lucifer was sent flying a few feet back; however, the wolf wasn't faring any better.

Lucifer’s hands had pierced cleanly through its stomach. As it struggled to stand up, it showed a pained expression and staggered.

Awooooo

The second wolf let out a cry, realizing the danger they were in, and swiftly rushed towards Lucifer.

Lucifer struggled to stand up, his bones aching. Although his body was being enhanced by the dragon bloodline, he still found it hard to breathe.

[Mana Points: 50]

‘This… is troublesome,’ he analyzed internally, recalling a few minor flaws he had made during the previous attack.

With his mana running low, Lucifer knew he couldn't delay. Watching the wolf lunge at him, he crouched down once more, raising his hand and pushing himself forward.

Swish!

With the momentum from his leg, he was propelled forward, his claw immediately piercing through the wolf.

In an instant, the wolf lost its breath, dead.

Awooo…

The second wolf let out a howl as though it was pleading with Lucifer. However, the youth’s heart was firm as he walked up to the wolf as it limped backward, its guts spilling out from where he had previously pierced it.

He increased his pace and smashed his clenched fist into the wolf.

It let out a whimper, then crashed heavily to the ground, its skull fractured and its eyes turned lifeless.

Subconsciously, as though sensing the battle was over, the system flashed with a line of words.

[Dragon Bloodline Deactivated.]

Lucifer collapsed to his knees, puking his guts out…

His face was pale, and his limbs trembled fiercely as he stared at the gory scene in front of him.

He continued puking for more than a few minutes before regaining his bearings.

‘I–I killed them.’ His eyes contained delight as he glanced at the corpses of the two beasts in front of him.

‘For the first time in my life, I don't feel powerless… I actually killed something!’

Lucifer laughed briefly, then his smile widened and his laughter deepened.

“That’s right!” he muttered. “I am no longer the Lucifer of old. I now have a means to increase my strength and never let myself be bullied!”

Through the corner of his eyes, he noticed a blinking light. ‘A notification?’ he guessed and gave the order.

[Gained 5 Creation Points.]

‘Creation points?’ He recalled the system saying that he could gain creation points from killing creatures.

‘Then can I use this to create an ability? And also a treasure?’ Many thoughts on what to create swirled in Lucifer’s mind.

He pushed the thought to the back of his mind for now, as he was still surrounded by danger.

Lucifer was happy at the thought of being able to create… anything. He wiped his mouth as he stood up, then turned around and began walking back in the direction of the academy.

He had to complete the mission from the system, as there was not much time.

‘Besides, the sky is darkening. Having encountered two beasts just because the afternoon is gradually elapsing, many more will come out when night truly falls.’ Lucifer could still recall some teachings from the academy.

After walking a few meters, he passed by a stream. He paused briefly, then stopped to wash his body.

With some traces of blood and the stench of the dead creatures from before clinging to his body, he felt the need to wash up.

After removing his clothes, Lucifer glanced at his reflection in the stream.

His body looked slightly leaner than average, with little to no muscle on his arms. His skin was pale due to constantly hiding in the dorm whenever he wasn't in class for fear of being bullied.

Trailing across his skin were multiple scars, some looking like he had been scarred with a weapon, others looked like elemental attacks, and there were even some that looked fresh.

He touched his face lightly, which was just average.

There was nothing remarkable about him, as he was simply… just an ordinary boy.

    Dark sparks covered Spidey's small body, slowly growing brighter as the evolution continued. Its eight legs curled inward, and its body began to shake. Lucifer watched as the spider was wrapped in a thick layer of darkness that hid its shape from view.The darkness remained around it for several seconds before slowly shrinking. When it finally disappeared, Spidey was no longer the same small spider Lucifer had summoned earlier.Its body had grown larger, now about the size of a small dog. Its eight legs were longer and thicker, with sharp points at their ends. Its black shell had become harder and smoother, while thin red lines ran across its back and legs. Two small red eyes glowed beneath its head, and its mouth had several rows of sharp teeth.Spidey moved its legs and looked around before turning toward Lucifer."Well, you certainly look different."The spider crawled closer and raised its front legs. Lucifer watched it carefully, trying to see if its behaviour had changed along w

    The group did not leave the area immediately. They spent some time checking the bodies of the monsters they had killed and collecting anything that might be useful. Since they could spend several days searching the island, carrying food with them was important. They could not afford to waste time hunting for meals every few hours.Raj and Lilo gathered several of the larger carcasses while Kellan helped remove the parts that could be stored and carried. The meat would last them for a while, and they could always hunt more if they ran out.Once they had finished, the group continued deeper into the forest.Blue Wood Island was enormous, and searching every section would take time. Even if they moved without stopping, traversing a single section could take seventeen to twenty hours. That was assuming they did not encounter anything that slowed them down.With proper rest between searches, each section could take a day or even longer to cover.They had five sections to investigate, so Lu

    Lucifer continued cutting down the monsters, slowly becoming more familiar with the odachi in his hand. Although he had lost the ability to use Dragon Dance, his knowledge of fighting had not disappeared. He understood how to handle a weapon, read an opponent's movements, and make use of openings.However, the armour was still unfamiliar to him.Whenever he moved, the plates shifted slightly with his body. They did not restrict his movements, but he could feel the difference between wearing it and fighting without armour. He needed time to understand how much force it could withstand and how it responded to his movements.A monster suddenly jumped at him from behind a tree.Lucifer turned his head, but before he could react, the creature's claws were already approaching his face. He raised his left arm, allowing the attack to strike his armour.The impact pushed him sideways, but the plates held firm.He immediately turned and swung his odachi. The blade passed through the monster's n

    Lucifer looked down in surprise as dark sparks moved across his arms and chest. They spread quickly, covering his entire body before forming solid shapes around him.[Hidden Trait Unlocked][Master's Armament][When its master is in danger, Spidey can temporarily lend the master any of its assets at its own discretion.][The master can use the abilities of the borrowed assets, but they will return to Spidey once the danger has passed or Spidey withdraws them.]The sparks gathered around Lucifer, forming a dark suit of armour.It resembled medieval armour, but its design was far from ordinary. Several layers of dark plates covered his body, fitting tightly around his muscles like an exoskeleton. The plates overlapped at his chest, shoulders, arms, and legs, while narrow gaps between them allowed his body to move freely. Thin lines of dark energy ran through the intersections, connecting each piece and giving the armour a strange, almost living appearance.The shoulder guards were raise

    Lucifer had already discovered that he could activate the traits of Spidey's assets, even though he could not summon or dismiss them. There were still several other assets in the spider's list that could prove useful to him, but he needed to find a way to make it use them.Perhaps training would help.The creature was still new to him, and he had not spent enough time studying its behaviour. If he could teach it to follow simple commands, he might eventually be able to make it summon and dismiss its assets whenever he wanted.There was also the possibility that some of its abilities would activate on their own when it faced danger.After all, it had used its darkness to conceal itself inside the ketch. It might have been a natural reaction rather than something it had been ordered to do.If Spidey could summon an asset when its life was in danger, then perhaps the best way to discover its limits was to put it through difficult situations.Lucifer shook his head. He would think about t

    The journey toward Blue Wood Island took longer than Lucifer had expected.Although the ketch was moving faster than they could have travelled on foot, the distance between the islands was still great. The red waves stretched beneath them, and the two landmasses they had seen from the previous island slowly grew larger as they approached.The mist surrounding the ketch made it difficult to see them from a distance. It also covered most of the noise produced by the vessel, allowing them to travel without drawing too much attention. Even when the wind grew stronger and the waves began to hit the hull, the ketch remained steady.Lucifer stood near the front of the vessel, watching the water.He had checked the ketch's traits several times since they set sail. Mist Veil and Silent Current were still active, and Deepwater Protection had not shown any signs of weakening. So far, the vessel had performed better than he expected.The others were not as relaxed.Raj kept looking over the side,
