Sovereign of the Firmaments

'Thunder bullet'

After he finished his chanting, Lucas muttered his spell name and a thunder bullet condensed in front of him before blasting through the thick shell of the iron-headed ant.

'Kacha'

The thunder bullet only broke the thick layer of the iron-headed ant making its brains visible to Lucas.

'Ding,

Bullseye. Gained 5 experience points.

Basic thunder spell (14/ 100 experience points).

'Tut tut'

Lucas didn't bother with the system notification when his prey was right in front of him which was moving backside with slight fear in his eyes.

"Where are you going?"

'Puchi'

How could Lucas let it escape after spending 10 units of magic power? So, without wasting any time, he used his short-sword to pierce through the brains of the iron-headed ant.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the host for killing a rank 2 iron-headed ant.

1 sovereign point gained.

'Ding,

Since it was the host's first time killing a rank 2 spirit beast, the host's short swords will be upgraded to rank 1.

Just as he pierce the rank 2 ant's brains, his head was filled with system notifications.

At the same time, the two normal short swords in his hands shone for a moment.

'Huh? Only 1 sovereign point?'

Lucas was expecting he would get more sovereign points; however, the first system notification only disappointed.

Nevertheless, he was satisfied with the second system notification as he looked at the two light-blue coloured short swords in his hands.

'Let's see whether these short swords can do some damage to the rank 2 ant?'

Without wasting any time, he wanted to test the power of his new swords. So, he rushed towards the rank 2 iron-headed ant which was still communicating with the rank 1 iron-headed ants.

'Tut tut'

However, before Lucas could reach it, the rank 1 iron-headed ants started swarming towards him.

"Don't worry, I will not discriminate against you based on your rank."

With a dark smile on his face, Lucas started killing the rank 1 iron-headed ants that were trying to swarm him.

However, too bad for them, currently, Lucas was wearing the 'Lesser mage robe' that was giving him a complete defence against the rank 1 iron-headed ants.

Compared to before, Lucas was very aggressive because unlike before Lucas was not worried about his defence.

'Looks like this master of mine is hiding so many secrets. Interesting.'

Porter, who used his bare hands to stop the mandibles of the rank 3 iron-headed ant, silently muttered to himself while pushing the ant away.

First, he was shocked by the sudden appearance of the 'Lesser mage robe'. Even though he didn't know about it completely, he could guess that an artifact that could block the attacks of a rank 2 spirit beast is definitely not a normal one.

Second, he thought Lucas used some kind of spell; however, he was not sure about it and thought, 'Maybe it is a spell from the talisman.'

Next, he was surprised by the change in aura emitting from the short swords.

'So, they were rank 1 short swords all along.'

However, what he didn't know was that they were upgraded by the system after Lucas killed the rank 2 iron-headed ant.

'I have to do something.'

Seeing that Lucas was shocking him with his actions, Porter decided to do the same and instead of defending, he decided to start attacking.

'Slash'

With that thought in his mind, Porter took out his sword from the sheath and used the Knight energy to wrap around the normal sword in his hands.

As a slave how could he have ranked swords? So, he could only use the Knight energy to make his normal sword powerful enough to fight against the rank 3 iron-headed ant.

…..

'Ding,

The host killed a rank 1 iron-headed ant. No Sovereign points were gained.

On the other side, Lucas was feeling like he was in heaven doing his favourite thing as the system notifications rang in his head.

'Ding,

Congratulations to the host for successfully killed 100 rank 1 spirit beasts.

'Ding,

Mission progress:- 100/ 100. Mission completed.

'Ding,

A basic magic recovery cultivation is sent to the host's inventory.

Amidst his killing, Lucas finally got the system notifications he was waiting for; however, there was still more than 30 rank 1 iron-headed ants along with a rank 2 iron-headed ant.

'Huf huf'

It took Lucas exactly five minutes to kill all the rank 1 ants as he gasped for breath while looking at the angry rank 2 iron-headed ant.

While Lucas was killing the rank 1 iron-headed ant, the rank 2 iron-headed ant tried to chop his head; however, the lesser mage robe saved him.

Seeing that its mandible was not working, the ant used its strong body to ram Lucas into a tree; however, Lucas dodge it making the ant even more angry.

"Finally, it is you and me."

Lucas didn't care whether the rank 2 iron-headed ant understood his words or not but still, said those words anyway.

'Slash'

Since Lucas wanted to test his rank 1 sword shorts, he didn't use the 'Thunder bullet' directly; instead, he slashed at the neck of the ant.

'Clang.'

However, even with the rank 1 weapon, Lucas was still unable to kill it.

'Only a scratch?'

Lucas raised his brows as he used another short sword to hit the same place and repeated the same thing again and again.

He dodged some attacks while the 'lesser mage robe' deflected the remaining attacks.

'Kacha'

Finally, after striking at the same place nearly twenty or so times, a small crack appeared on the neck of the ant making Lucas reveal a slight smile.

'I can do it...I can do it.'

If it was the old Lonewolf, then he would have already killed the beast; however, he was out of stamina after fighting for half an hour.

So, he pushed himself as he continued to hit the small spot while changing his positions continuously.

'Kacha'

Soon, the crack became bigger and the rank 2 iron-headed ant felt the fear as he decided to escape from the devil in front of him.

'You want to run after making me tired out so much? In your dreams.'

Lucas jumped onto the ant with full force, he slashed one last time.

'Kacha'

'Thud'

The big head of the ant fell in front of the rank 3 iron-headed ant that was fighting Porter.

'Thud'

At the same time, Lucas also fell to the ground with a face full of exhaustion.

'I should not sleep yet. There is a rank 3 ant and I need to help Porter in killing it.'

Lucas wanted to help Porter; however, he was completely exhausted as he pushed himself to the limits in his last attack.
