Chapter 9 Lion's Roar
Chapter 9 Lion's Roar
Looking at the one-eyed ape that had been killed, Lucifer retracted his bat wings and revealed a sense of satisfaction.
Although the one-eyed ape was incredibly strong and destructive, and at his level, a single blow from him would have been fatal, unfortunately, he was a vampire with extremely strong self-healing abilities and a speed advantage. The one-eyed ape, on the other hand, was simple-minded and physically strong, so the outcome was already predetermined.
Lucifer originally thought that with a difference of 5 levels, he had no chance of winning. But as it turns out, nothing is impossible if you dare to do it. Only under extreme pressure can powerful potential be unleashed.
He felt an indescribable sense of pride. Defeating the one-eyed ape had raised his level by one, a pleasant surprise. Hard work always pays off.
The hellish ordeal of the past month has completely transformed his mind, making him clearly aware of the cruelty of this world. There are some things he has to abandon, otherwise, it will be difficult to survive.
Just like this boundless forest, various magical beasts roam freely. High-level magical beasts run rampant and are domineering, while weak magical beasts only have death waiting for them, and sooner or later they will become prey for other magical beasts.
The law of the jungle is an eternal truth.
The weak find it difficult to survive in this world; only the strong prevail.
Otherwise, it wouldn't be the one-eyed ape who died today, but him.
"Yo! It's over?" Chris descended from the sky like an angel onto the one-eyed ape's corpse with a satisfied smile.
"Of course, who am I? It's nothing." Lucifer was somewhat smug. Killing enemies across levels was not something ordinary people could do, and he had every right to be proud.
"Tch! You're only level 15, what's there to be so proud of? I can kill you with a flick of my finger, why would I need to take so long? Besides, you look pretty pathetic," Chris said disdainfully.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is mighty; I am far inferior to you." Lucifer nodded reluctantly.
What level are you and what level am I?
They're not even in the same league, okay? How can they be compared?
I was fighting with all my might, and your words made me lose face. My fragile heart suffered a great blow.
"You should have adapted to your body by now, after a month, right?" Chris said calmly. She had put a lot of effort into Lucifer during this time, not only finding suitable opponents for him but also ensuring that Lucifer wouldn't be killed. Even she was quite tired.
If the vampires knew that their queen was seriously training and instructing a novice, they would be so envious they would commit suicide. Why don't they have such an opportunity?
Does being the protagonist mean you can do whatever you want?
Sorry, but as the protagonist, you really can do whatever you want.
“I’ve basically adapted.” Lucifer nodded.
The past month of bloody battles had allowed him to fully adapt to the vampire body, and under Chris's guidance, he had also gained a basic grasp of the use of magic.
He also knew very well that skills could not be used casually, because skills were like ultimate moves and consumed a lot of magic power, especially special skills, which consumed magic power very quickly. Otherwise, he would not have needed to practice sword skills so hard.
Why not just unleash a special skill to instantly kill the enemy? The problem is, if you run out of mana and fail to kill the enemy, you're doomed.
Therefore, skills can only be used under appropriate circumstances; otherwise, it will be too late to regret it. If special skills could be used without restriction, wouldn't he be invincible? There's no such thing as a free lunch; dream on!
Reality is cruel; it's a dog-eat-dog world where it's either you or me who dies.
"Wait, Chris, what are you doing?" Lucifer stared blankly at Chris, unaware that she had begun to consume the life essence of the one-eyed ape.
"Nonsense, to quickly restore my strength, I need to absorb a lot of blood to replenish myself; it won't taste good if it gets cold." Chris glared at Lucifer, feigning ignorance.
During this time, all the monsters Lucifer killed became Chris's food. She absorbed the essence of the monsters. Lucifer was also a vampire and had a strong desire for blood. If he did not drink blood regularly, he would easily go berserk. Unfortunately, he could never beat Chris to blood and could only drink some ordinary blood instead of the essence blood from which the monsters' power was derived.
Without hesitation, he pounced forward. If he was too slow, Chris would end up eating the meat while he drank the soup.
Seeing the blood before it, its eyes turned from black to red, and it opened its mouth, revealing two sharp teeth that bit into the wound on the one-eyed ape's neck, sucking the essence of the magical beast's blood.
A moment later, the two finished drinking blood and were completely full. Vampires don't need to eat; drinking blood is their main food. Human food only makes them feel nauseous and difficult to swallow. Only fresh blood can arouse their desire.
"!"
Just then, Lucifer's body trembled, and his eyes became somewhat unfocused and unpredictable.
"What's wrong?" Chris asked, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she noticed Lucifer's unusual behavior.
"It seems I've gained another skill," Lucifer said, scratching his head.
"What?" Chris's expression changed slightly. During this time, they had hunted many magical beasts and consumed a lot of blood. Why was Lucifer still the same? Now, after consuming the essence of the one-eyed ape, he suddenly gained a new skill.
Is such a thing possible? Skills aren't something you can just get by wishing for them; they're not like food, how can they be obtained so easily? Could it be related to the skill that Lucifer possessed? Chris couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
“Release it and let me see.” After a moment of contemplation, Chris spoke up. She already had a bold idea in her mind, which she needed Lucifer to confirm.
“No problem.” Lucifer nodded, jumped off the one-eyed ape’s corpse, chose a direction, took a deep breath, and then roared—a beastly roar.
"Roar!"
A deafening roar erupted from Lucifer's mouth, the sound like sonic waves shooting towards the trees in front of him.
"call!"
Like a gust of wind, Lucifer's roar was like a tangible attack, directly destroying everything in its path. It was incredibly destructive, forcibly carving a path through the dense forest, sending rubble and fallen leaves flying everywhere.
The ravine is hundreds of meters long and extends seven-tenths of an inch into the ground, with a force as powerful as a mountain collapsing.
"Holy crap, is that the Lion's Roar? That's so cool!" Lucifer looked at the trench that had been carved out in front of him and could hardly believe it.
Isn't this just like the landlady's Lion's Roar from the movie "Kung Fu Hustle"? The destructive power is incredible.
It seems he amplified the power of the one-eyed ape's sonic roar; it was just too exciting.
Looking at the hundred-meter-long ravine before her, Chris nodded, her face showing shock and disbelief. She had basically determined the function of Lucifer's skill at that location and the conditions for its activation.
"This is truly an incredible skill. What kind of monster have I created?"
