Chapter 165: Ultimate Spell: Ice Rain

Congratulations! The Guardian has slain Cloud Bone Wind Drake. A beast created by augmenting Elemental Spirits, Magical Beast, and the authority of tower

The Guardian has gained 0 XP, for the beast lacks essence of life.

The magical beast's with a massively injured body upper body and no mouth or face has met its end at the hands of a young boy. It didn't even have the time to utter its dying cry before it's face and head was blasted into smithereens by Whittaker.

A second after It dropped dead to the ground, blood gushed out of its opened head formed a small pool, and Whittaker gracefully stepped out of the hole in its head with a shiny black core in his hand and the notification of Noah ringing in his mind.

The item in his hand was the [Core Of Authority], and his mind was filled with questions.

"Noah, can you explain to me more clearly, why I didn't receive XP, and what does the essence of life have to do with me gaining XP from killing others, and why do high-rank beasts give more XP than low-rank ones?" Whittaker was full of questions. At first, he didn't know what XP of the night will's system even meant but with time he believed that it was something omnipotent and will help him level up to become stronger; However, now a new question popped up making him think otherwise. 

It's an extensive topic but Noah will try to clarify it in simple words. When Noah tried to absorb the life essence of the Cloud Bome Wind Drake, a mysterious force obstructed me and took the life essence away. From Noah's calculation, it can only be the tower spirit, Jafar. As the guardian already knows every living being has the essence of life in them, when they die, Noah absorbs their essence of life. An F-rank beast gives 100 essence of life. An E-rank beast gives 200 essence of life. A D-rank beast gives 300 essence of life. A C-rank beast gives 1000-2000 essence of life, and so on.

Noah has a spell matrix that can absorb the essence of life. When the Guardia kills someone, Noah converts the essence of life into experience. The Guardian absorbs this energy to increase his strength when he increases his stats. As the Guardian has the bloodline of Night Night encompasses all he has no problem in using the life essence of other living beings to increase his strength. While Guardian already knows why he obtains XP and reward from quest.

Noah has explained why he receives rewards and XP from quests a long time ago. He knows that he is inheriting the inheritance of a being called Night. Every time he completes a quest, he is actually completing an inheritance trials, and the quests rewards are a part of Night's inheritance. The inheritance is handed over to him in the form of items, skills, knowledge, and power. 

Hearing his words, Whittaker came to know about how the system works, and the truth behind XP points, and also a truth about his Night's bloodline hidden in plain sight truth. He also came to a conclusion that the mystical matrix inside the pendant might be a reason behind the attack years ago the day he was born. 

This pretty much sums it up but he didn't know who Night's is. At least the name of Devansha, the great still echoes around the corners of the awakened continent but Whittaker has never heard anyone mentioning about an expert called Night.

'Just who is he?' Whittaker thought as he confidently strides out of the dragon's head and lets it Blood Drink absorb all its blood.

Although Jafar has stopped him from absorbing the essence of life, he thankfully didn't stop his weapon from absorbing the draconic blood of the Cloud Bone Wind Drake.

"He killed it," Lillia and Kayn muttered in surprise when they saw Its mouth bursting and sprawling a mess of brain juices, organs, blood, and bonds on the floor.

"Life Taker, killed it!" Lillia exclaimed in happiness and stared at Kayn's S-ranked weapon. "Hand it over!"

"Cough~Princess, please let it be. I will serve you like a slave. Message your feet and shoulder whenever you want me. Wake up in the middle of the night to buy whatever you demand. Lastly, I'll never be mean to you. Please let me keep it!" Kayn said, teary eyes at the thought of his sad future. However, he was more afraid of losing his precious S-ranked weapon.

It was an heirloom of his family!

"Nope! Once I have the heirloom of your family in my hand then you will follow my commands unconditionally. I won't be killing a white chicken that produces golden eggs just because of a momentary greed!" Her tone when she said this was icy cold. It was a command, her words will not be taken back no matter what Kayn does.

Kayn regretfully handed over his weapon and her petite hands held it carefully. 'Reaper, from now on, I'm your master!' She said before storing it in her spatial hairpin.

Right after, a holographic screen opened in front of her and she typed a message, and then she pressed enter.

"Princess, what are you doing?" Kayn asked mystified by her actions. 'Why did she send suck a message to Sem?' He thought.

"Just lending a Lil helping hand to the boy who won me an S-ranked weapon," Lillia replied with a wide grin on her face.

Hearing her words, Kayn face contorted but he hid his expression with a beaming smile on his face. Lillia's words hit him right where it hurts the most. Kayn felt as if she had purposely poured salt on his wounds but what can he do about it? He wasn't strong enough to fight her, especially because he had lost his S-ranked weapon to her.

Now, he could only do his best to please her, in hopes of reclaiming his family heirloom.
