Chapter 270: Big increase in statistics
"f.u.c.k, what happened here?!" The bearded warrior said scared as he entered the cave and wiped the sweat that dripped from his forehead.
Because of Noah"s flames, the temperature in the cave had soared to the point where everyone felt like they were in a desert.
"Two Rank B monsters. Luckily I managed to deal with one of the monsters while Noah held the other monster until I could deal with him too. It only took a few seconds, but it was enough for me not to be in danger," the invasion captain said as he sighed and looked at Noah.
"Noah, your flames are very powerful. Are you by any chance close to Rank B? Because, as far as I know you only invaded two Rank C Fortresses. At most you must have absorbed one or two essences by now, right?" the captain asked with genuine curiosity.
When he had seen Noah"s flames slightly melting the Ice Knight he summoned, the captain was very surprised. After all, the Ice Knight was a Rank B monster; ordinary Rank C flame attacks couldn"t melt him at all. However. maximum Rank C Boss monsters could melt him like Noah"s flames did.
Did that mean Noah"s flames were comparable to attacks from a Rank C Boss?
"Nah, I"m way off Rank B. I"d say my strength is currently Rank C at 45%, and when I get to 100%, I"ll probably get promoted to Rank B," Noah responded as if it were something trivial.
But this shocked the other Blessed even more. Each had their own estimate of how far they were from their own strength, mainly because in the family there was a gym where they could train and test their strength and gauge their distance from Rank B, but still, the closest to Rank B there was the bearded man, who had strength currently at 53% away from Rank B. But the bearded man was already a 31 year old man. He had invaded Rank C Fortresses for over 5 years and this strength had been built with the few essences he bought with his salary from the invasions.
He only had a Rank C boon, so achieving Rank B in a natural way would be impossible, but by absorbing essences for years, he knew that one day he could become at least a Rank B Fake. So for Noah to already have a force like that, he should have at least Rank B Blessing, and with a monstrous talent above that! Even for the Blessed Rank C, it took at least 24 years to reach Rank C, and for the Blessed who reached that level at 22 years of age, this was already a great miracle that would make them recognized as geniuses.
The only person on the team who was known as such a genius was the team healer, who this year, after turning 22 years old, reached Rank C, having a Peak Rank C Blessing. Because of this, she was highly valued in the family, being quickly a.s.signed to their team who were highly regarded in the family.
But still, the girl was still only 29% complete through Rank C, meaning that she still had 71% to reach a Fake Rank B. And Noah, at just 20 years old, was 45% ready for Rank B? That was very fast progress!
"Is this real talent?" everyone thought as they looked at Noah in alarm.
Added to the fact that Noah had a s.p.a.ce and Flying Blessing, this already made him a star with a meteoric rise in the Khan family.
"This boy has a bright future! With an evolution like this, added to the fact that he has a Flying and s.p.a.ce Blessing, and such a powerful attack, I now understand that even at Rank C it is possible to have a power capable of skipping ranks," the Rank B captain thought excitedly as he looked at Noah.
As much as Noah couldn"t do as much damage to Rank B monsters, he was still very useful. Maybe with 20 or 30% more he might already be useful in Rank B Fortresses, even though he was just a Blessed Rank C!
"I will have to report this in even more detail to the family! This boy must go to an elite team quickly," the captain thought decisively.
Noah was focused on burning the Rank B corpses, both vampire and ogre. These corpses were giving him a lot more stats, plus burning corpses so powerful was raising the [h.e.l.l Flames] skill level much faster than he thought. Even though there were no Rank B essences, Noah"s gain from these two monsters was far greater than his gain from the younger vampire he had previously killed, since the younger vampire wasn"t truly a Rank B monster.

Skills:
(h.e.l.l Flames Lv 04, 5.191/12,500 exp: A technique that consists in summoning the flames of h.e.l.l itself. The flames of h.e.l.l did not differ from normal flames, but after cleansing so many sins and so many sinners, they became the most powerful flame, having already burned the G.o.d of flames himself, making him beg Lucifer to put out those flames before he died.To increase the power of the flames of h.e.l.l skill, the user must burn sins or sinners.
[Fireball] [Fire Dagger] [Fire Claws] [Ode to Joy] [Healing Flames])
(h.e.l.l Tunneling Lv 02, 1.224/1,500 exp: A technique that consists of opening a tunnel to h.e.l.l and exiting somewhere else in a fraction of a second. The greater the distance, the more energy expended.
Pyakugan: After reaching Lv 02, the user learned to reduce the cost of each teleport, in addition to speed. As the user used the ability to move spatially so much, the user partially received a spatial perception even with eyes closed.)
(h.e.l.l"s Contract Lv MAX: Only limited by the user"s limitation, the skill can develop a contract that binds both parties to comply with everything required in the contract.
After absorbing the "Blood Control" ability, it is now possible to force the target to accept contracts, as long as the user burns 100% of the target"s blood.
For 30 minutes, the target will be required to follow all the commands defined in the contract. After 30 minutes, the target will die.]
(h.e.l.l"s Summon Lv 02 1.476/1,200 exp: Skill used by great demons to summon armies of artificial inferior imps. Imps life is limited based on energy spent. The more energy, the longer the imp will last. Part of experience gained for killing monsters by imps, even without Lucifer"s command, will go to Lucifer.
Lucifer once created an army of over 1,000,000 imps in the snap of his fingers because of the large amount of mana he possessed, in addition to the high skill level.
After ascending to level 02, the limit of imps the user can summon has doubled, although the strength of imps still remains the same.
Currently available imps: 8/30.)
(Devil Form Lv 01: 231/3,000 exp: Lucifer was born as an angel, but he needed to be the personification of evil to meet the requirements G.o.d had set for him to "Be the personification of evil." With the beautiful appearance that Lucifer had, no one would fear him, so thinking about it, Lucifer decided to create a form where he would be truly evil, a form that would not only invoke fear in people, but also increase Lucifer"s strength greatly by consuming many flames of h.e.l.l.
The user will transform into Lucifer"s "Personification of Evil" image and stats will be increased by 20%.)]
Unfortunately the armor of the vampire they had killed was now unusable, as in addition to being very worn out, the Ice Knight destroyed what was left with the quick and powerful attacks of the sword he possessed.
"Very well, let"s continue the invasion. Now only the Necromancer remains. As we have already dealt with the most powerful monsters, this will be easier to accomplish," the captain responded by taking over as team leader temporarily as the Fortress was exceeding everyone"s expectations.
After several hours of invasion, the Blessed crossed the portal and returned to the normal world. Everyone"s expressions showed extreme fatigue. It was as if they had run two triathlons in a row.
