BXBX NOVEL Chapter 234 - Such Arrogance!
-----
The Boss Monster had been defeating in the most unexpected and anti-climactic way possible!
Noah didn\'t particularly care about "stakes" nor "exciting battles" at this point, he simply wanted to eliminate his enemies as swiftly and efficiently as possible.
What he wanted and excited him the most was victory!
If he were allowed to act scummy in battle, he would, gladly!
Noah smiled as he saw the great beast, the Poisonous Hydra Wyrm King fall into pieces over the poisonous lake, its entire body was torn apart, it was done for.
Noah, however, was not done with it yet!
He extended his claws towards it and began to use Bloodline Devour as he drank its entire blood.
The blood kept accumulating into a mass of crimson-red liquid, as he drank it entirely.
His body suddenly began to glow with bright purple colors, as his eyes flashed with an even deeper crimson-red color!
A wicked smile emerged over Noah\'s pale-white face, as the power surging through his veins made it completely worth it to sacrifice those Blood Servants to achieve victory!
He used Bloodline Assimilation, as he gained a new Bloodline Trait!
Ding!
[Poisonous Hydra Wyrm King] Bloodline Assimilated!]
[You learned the [Poisonous King\'s Might] Bloodline Trait!]
[Poisonous King\'s Might: Enhances all Stats by 5%. Grants great resistance to all types of toxins. Grants the ability to unleash Poisonous Breath Attacks.] [Poisonous Hydra Wyrm King]
"It\'s done…" sighed Noah in relief, as he dropped a drop of blood over the large soul of the Hydra Wyrm King, raising it into a Blood Servant!
The enormous soul began to change colors to crimson-red, as its red colors materialized and crystalized into an enormous being made of pure blood and crimson-red phantom.
Noah added a bit of his blood, and it was done!
"GROOOOOOOWL!"
The beast roared, as its various heads lowered before Noah, the mighty King of this world\'s poisonous lake was now his servant!
"Well, that was something else…" sighed Iris, as she quickly began to fly around collecting the loot with everyone else, even Noah helped.
"Indeed. For now, let\'s go back home, and take the rest of the day to rest and assess our gains, I believe we have just enough Cores to become SS-Rank," said Noah.
"That\'s nice, I think I need to rest for a little bit…" sighed Arthur.
"Me too, even as Vampires, I feel mentally exhausted," said Timassa.
"I want to take a nap…" yawned Jon.
"Well, everyone is taking it quite casually that we just completed an S-Rank Dungeon…" laughed Sakura.
"It was certainly an exhausting exploration, but just as Noah had said, we are aiming for way higher things now… And at the end, Dungeons are a mere tool for us to grow stronger," said Clementina.
"That\'s right, it is just as Clementina said, Sakura," said Noire.
"Fuhehe… With these amazing dropped items and materials, we\'ll be able to upgrade ourselves a ton!" said Sugar.
"All of us shall rest for the rest of the day then, tomorrow… we shall go inside the SS-Rank Dungeon!" said Noah.
"SS-Rank Dungeon!" said Adamantine.
The group quickly flew back into the gate, as the Dungeon\'s space-time distortion began to appear, if they were to stay for too long, they would be engulfed by these distortions and most likely killed by some kind of black hole emerging.
The people around the gate glanced at the twisting spiral of colors, it has been 4 hours since the group entered the Gate, but they had yet to emerge.
Although usually, expeditions to such dungeons took entire days, so it was normal that they wouldn\'t come early.
Most people had already assumed that they would take days, or that perhaps… they might already be dead.
However, right in front of their noses, several figures emerged out of the gate, right before it completely dissipated into thin air… It was gone.
"W-What???"
"T-They are… back…"
"In four hours?!"
"How much time? Wait, four hours?!"
"Yeah… four hours! They took… four hours in coming back from an S-Rank Dungeon…"
"Unbelievable…"
The people carrying cameras and microphones quickly ran towards Noah and his party, asking him various questions, they were all effervescent to hear his thoughts and what he had done inside.
"Noah!"
"Noctem Family\'s Leader, please, any words?"
"You are perhaps the first person- no, a guild who have completed an S-Rank Dungeon in less than a day! What do you think about your achievement?"
"Please, any words of wisdom? Anything would do!"
"Such amazing talent has never been seen before! What abilities do you possess?"
"The world is eager to know your capabilities!"
Noah glanced at everyone with his human appearance, as a charming smile surged within his lips, such a smile made most of the women skip a beat, his eyes shined with a small crimson hue, making him even more mysterious…
"I have nothing to say. We simply did as we said we would do, and tomorrow morning, we\'ll be going to the SS-Rank Dungeon atop the Axis Corporations Building, and complete it!" said Noah arrogantly, smiling provocatively at the cameras as he walked away with his servants, as Noire released a wave of shadows, covering everyone, and then disappeared.
Noah shook the entire Sector D- no, the entire world!
Such boldness!
Such arrogance!
Such confidence!
But he… had done just as he had said he would!
His boldness, arrogance, and confidence were all justified! He was allowed to be like this!
Who cared about humility? Certainly not Noah.
The impact he wanted to generate in the world was finally done!
Flash!
In just a few seconds, Noah finally reached his giant castle, Scarlet, who greeted him happily.
"Welcome back, Master! I saw you on TV, well done! You\'re my idol!" said Scarlet, with the voice of a cute girl.
"Idol?" wondered Noah.
"Haha, she\'s so cute! She means you are the one she looks up to," said Iris.
"I don\'t know why she would do that, she is my Servant, but I don\'t believe I am an idol… More like a tyrant! Yes, that fits me better," said Noah while nodding and crossing his arms.
"A… tyrant? You\'re not a tyrant at all though…" said Arthur.
"I fact you\'re a very good person, Master. By using our guild strength to complete all these dungeons, we are saving many lives," said Timassa.
"…I don\'t do it for such lives, but so we can grow stronger. You\'re getting it all wrong! I don\'t give a damn about other people," sighed Noah.
Noah desired to exert malicious and evil acts, but it seemed that in the great scheme of things, they always seemed to be good ones.
Although he acted bold and arrogant, he slowly began to become something of a figure of hope for the people who had begun to despair when all these Gates emerged everywhere.
He was completing dungeons after dungeons, and his servants were doing the same! In no time, Sector D would be cleansed of Dungeons, and people would be able to feel safe again.
And he, a bold and charming "Hero", had become the figure of the entire Sector D inadvertently…
Noah simply wanted to intimidate other Hunters and Guilds to never try to attack them or something now that he was so strong, and that he intended to keep growing at an exponential and insane rate.
But he seemed to be slowly becoming a figure that everyone looked up to.
