BXBX NOVEL Chapter 231 - A Sea Of Loot
-----
BOOOM!!!
The gigantic hydra hidden boss fell into pieces over the poisonous lake, as Noah quickly raised it into a Blood Servant by using its very blood as a catalyst as well, making the beast\'s power and endurance even stronger!
"GROOOOWL!"
"Now pick the loot," said Noah.
"G-Growl…"
The Hydra timidly nodded as it used its large jaws to grab the many cores of its now corpse, alongside its own corpse, and then moved them inside Noah\'s Inner Realm of Flesh and Blood.
After this, Noah sent it against the other two Hydras, which were already being defeated by the formless and shapeless masses of blood servants stitched together!
"GRRUUOOOOHHH!"
The gigantic Pride was fusing himself with hundreds of Blood Servants, acquiring a gigantic formless appearance, and extended tentacles all around one of the hydras, crushing its heads and sucking the blood from within!
When a second hydra blood servant emerged, it began to attack the one pride was targeting, and the hidden boss finally gave in as it fell over the lake of blood, its entire body was torn apart seconds after! Noah didn\'t even need to do much than watch as the fruit of his labor did everything for him now!
He smiled at the third one, as the army of blood that couldn\'t be defeated reached it, viciously attacking it, all the hundreds of blood servants continuously merging and regenerating attacked it, tearing it apart, sucking their blood, and showering it with countless attacks!
Noah flashed towards it with Crimson Winds Propulsion and his Vampiric Blood Wings, reaching it in no time and unleashing a powerful spear made of pure magic and his soul, resembling a crimson blood spear, he threw it at the hydra\'s heart, crushing it and making it explode into pieces from the inside out!
"GRRRRUUUUOOOHHH…!"
BOOOM!!!
The third Hydra was destroyed!
Noah couldn\'t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of the situation, the S-Rank Dungeon he had overhyped so much was… merely a playground!
But he couldn\'t lower his guard down, he quickly raised the two Hydras into Blood Servants and collected the dropped cores and other dropped items.
"Hm, the monsters have stopped coming…" said Iris.
"Perhaps we are near the Boss now?" wondered Arthur.
"It has been quite the trip… Though I want to get out of here already, my lungs are constantly melting and regenerating, a very annoying feeling," sighed Jon.
The group glanced at the boiling pool of poison below them, everything seemed tranquil, the beasts had stopped coming and they were finally able to settle down their minds for the time being.
Noah gathered with everyone as they began to slowly hover towards the direction in front of them.
"We have gathered an exorbitant amount of Cores, if the Boss gives enough, we should be able to get to SS-Rank soon… To think that the Legendary SS-Rank Hunters would be such an easy to acquire title. I suppose this world is really stale compared to the vast worlds that we had seen through the dungeons… If this world is so weak, I cannot fathom to think how Abyss could be, or how the world of the demons could be, perhaps levels of power above SSS-Rank are fairly common, but for us who are so underdeveloped… it is the peak of everything," sighed Noah.
Noah had begun to wonder what the levels of power within advanced worlds that were not just recently awakened to supernatural events and monsters such as Earth were.
Based purely on Abyss and the knowledge he had gotten from the Blood Progenitor, the levels of power there were vast and held many Ranks and Levels, they were merely Level V out of more than 20 levels that Blood Cores could take.
Although their Ranks were increased exponentially faster than any other Vampire there, and they were already within the level of power that could be considered someone that could trample over most common Vampires.
But Noah didn\'t know if other worlds had other levels of power, as his knowledge was purely based on god\'s memories which were very limited despite being "god" and of the blood progenitor that never traveled outside of his world until he came to Earth inside the Blood Core that Noah absorbed.
"Indeed, we shouldn\'t get too cocky and maintain ourselves cautiously, nonetheless. Perhaps we might be able to deal with these monsters, but the Boss might end up surprising us! And even if not, the outside forces even outside of Earth are vast and mysterious… We must tread with caution," said Iris, outside of the excitement of battle she had learned to be cautious and meticulous like Noah, at least a little bit…
"Very true, mistress," said Timassa.
"Nonetheless, just how powerful are the Watchers compared to… Erm, us?" asked Arthur.
"As of now… we might only be but a fraction of their power, perhaps 1%..." said Noah, he himself didn\'t know much about these entities as God did not know much either, but it seems that their power was way above God itself, and even all the Ranks of Abyss… these were like super-secret final bosses, the possibilities of defeating them was abysmal if not impossible.
"Just… a fraction…" sighed Arthur.
"Earth is really doomed, isn\'t it?" wondered Clementina.
"It would be more realistic to escape," said Jon.
"And that\'s the best plan and the one we will follow. Unless some stupid miracle were to happen, we will escape even if we can grow as strong as we possibly can… those beings had reached those levels of power after existing for eons, and it is said they had consumed several planet cores to reach such power," said Noah.
"So to reach that level of power we\'ll have to devour cores?!" asked Arthur.
"Oh… Interesting," said Iris while rubbing her chin.
"Not anytime soon, the thing we should always prioritize is survival," said Noah.
"You\'re right…" said Clementina.
"Survival!" said Adamantine while waving her shadow tail.
"I do wonder how vast the cosmos outside the world is…" said Jon.
Noah had already begun to consider simply grab as much power from Earth and then escape in some way, perhaps by using the ability he acquired from the Warlock Skill that let him traverse through the Outer Plane, although the very travel would be incredibly hard as well…
The possibilities were dim for survival at the end, even though they were steamrolling through this dungeon, in the great scheme of things… they needed to hurry up and escape the planet!
After reaching SSS-Rank, Noah planned to travel to every Sector and force the people there to become his Vampires, recruiting them into his Guild and saving them inside his Inner Realm, which kept increasing in size as he grew stronger.
After "rescuing" most people, although he planned to use them to gain more power through faith and prayers, he would escape the planet after having collected as many powers and treasures as possible, quite possibly also completing the new Gates of even higher levels of power.
Of course, this was put a projection of the future, which was still unknown, for now, he and everyone else decided to concentrate on the present at hand.
As the party flew slowly, they suddenly stopped as an enormous presence startled them!
"There… the Boss!" said Noah while gritting his teeth, an exhilarating feeling began to rush through his entire body as his eyes flashed with crimson-red light.
SPLASH!
An enormous creature emerged from the poisonous waters!
