Chapter 294

''Who?''

The housekeeper looked surprised, his eyes flashing to the side only to see more than two dozen figures spreading across the hall. In many of their hands where multiple corpses and their black robes were stained with blood.

''You?! What are you doing.''

The HouseKeeper pushed the girl away, putting a set of knuckle dusters on his hands.

''EG1 I will be relying on you this time''

''Of course it is the Family Heads order.''

With a flash, one of the Robed Figures appeared next to the Housekeeper, a large sword swinging towards his head.

The HouseKeeper felt the Middle Rank 3 Aura and his eyes widened in surprise.

''No Way!''

Quickly he punched out. The shape of a boar semi-formed on his hands. Clearly he had attempted to activate a warrior Skill.

''Don't think I am so easy to defeat.''

The Housekeeper deserves to be a talent from a Rank D organisation. In his youth he was someone with a special Physique, although it was a common Innate Speed Physique it allows him to at least defend himself against the Robed figures attacks.

''It's a shame. You really are talented. Why limit yourself to such a pathetic force?''

EG1 sighed. Around his sword a faint set of rings appeared. The flashing body of the Housekeeper seemed to slow down under the terrible pressure, his speed no longer quick enough.

With a glaring light EG1's sword floated by. Leaving only a pool of blood in it's wake.

''Clean up this mess. Check him for the money he brought this time. ''

Michael saw the battle was over and quickly ordered the guards around him to take action.

Quickly the rest of the train's inhabitants were wiped out, including any Mortal Witnesses. All the valuables were collected and the train was destroyed.

There was no evidence to who committed the crime.

And two days later, in front of Lily a figure was bowing down.

''Family Head, we successfully ambushed The HouseKeeper from the HiveTriad Force and recovered 190,000 Spiritual Crystals. However all of the Crystals that Michael brought where spent in the end.''

''I understand, go down.''

Lily nodded slightly and sent EG1 away.

She didn't expect that all 300,000 Crystals would be spent, but in the end more than half were recovered so it wasn't a large loss. Not to mention the family gained 300,000 crystals worth of resources!

Especially the Booster! Lily held the small black crystal and smiled happily.

She is sure that her father would reward her greatly if she delivers it.

And as expected, an hour later Samuel was sat with the small crystal in his palm and Lily left with the reward of 50,000 Warriors under her direct control.

As for the heartache of sending out Rank 1 Warriors? Samuel didn't really feel it anymore. The number of Dogs of War have expanded to millions rapidly. And everyday he receives thousands of summons from the System Reward of killing Abyss Creatures.

There are even dozens of Rank 2 Summons every week! With the help of these system summons he has really stepped up his level.

If someone were to check the territory owned by the Lanford Family now, they would be amazed to see that there are warriors everywhere. Some living ordinary lives within the Planes, some adventuring on the Eternal Battlefield and many more practising in retreat.

[Detected that a Host's Dog of War has found a permanent attribute booster, does the host wish to absorb it?]

''Yes!''

Samuel shouted immediately.

[Ding]

[Peerless Talent Booster: Increases the Descendants chance of receiving a Low level Physique by 10% and Middle Level Physiques by 1%.]

''Wait? This is different than I expected!''

When Samuel read the description he was instantly surprised.

Originally the Auction house just learnt about the 10% Increase in low level Physiques, but just that was enough to cause the price to skyrocket. Samuel is confident that if more people attended the Auction it could've been sold for hundreds of thousands of Crystals!

But they didn't find out about the HIgh-Level Physiques! That is on a completely different level!

If something like Innate Strength that Jonathan has, or the Innate Speed that the HouseKeeper has is strong, it is at most possible to raise their combat power to temporarily compete against someone one small realm higher.

It doesn't even make them invincible in the same realm. If they come across someone like SS1 or SS2 with the Void Manipulation or the Sword Dao Body they would be wiped out easily!

But Middle Level Physiques are different! That's enough to potentially fight against someone a large realm above them!

Now I feel like it is necessary to describe the different Physiques.

There are only four categories for Physiques, Low-Level, Middle-Level, High-Level and finally Peerless.

(All Talents will fall into these criteria in the future, like SS1's Void Manipulation and SS5's Natural born Necromancy.)

Low-Level Physiques are things like having a slightly mutated bloodline, or innate strength.

These people are much stronger than warriors without a special Physique in the same realm, and can definitely be considered a Small Genius.

Even in large families these people often make up the elite forces while people with no physiques are the ordinary warriors.

Middle-Level Physiques are much stronger. They are physiques like the Ice Apex Physique that Lily has. It allows you to bypass the restrictions of talent and can potentially fight against people a large realm higher than you.

Now, this doesn't mean they can kill that person. Just survive under their attack. And that's in the case where the warriors stronger than them are ordinary warriors with no Physiques!

Although most of Samuels Special Summons have Physiques that could be considered Middle-Level, they aren't quite up to standard. At most they can be classed as the top Low-Level Physiques.

After all, they can't surpass the talent restrictions.

High-Level Physiques are things like Matthew Lanfords talent.

[Name: Matthew Lanford

Spiritual Root: 4 Inch

Rank: Middle Rank 2

Talent: Golden Transcendant Physique]

This is the current husband of Casey, Samuels Daughter. High-Level Physiques often have very unique concepts.

Some, like Matthews, allow for incredible combat power. Matthew can fight an ordinary person a large realm above him! But the downside is that his practice speed is as slow as a snail.

Whereas other High-Level Physiques could increase their practise speed incredibly, or their charm or have special abilities.

For the final ranking of Physiques, Peerless. These are the real geniuses. Each one can be considered the genius of an Era.

In front of people with these Physiques, Talent means nothing. It doesn't matter what their Spiritual Root is, or how strong other people's Physiques are.

The only people that can fight people with Peerless Physiques are other people with Peerless Physiques!
