Chapter 39 - Problems, ¿Again?

((AUTHOR: There will only be a chapter today, Sorry my University caught me off guard))

"What's happening?" Brandon wondered.

He arrived at the shelter to rest at his inn, but as soon as he got there, he saw a lot of troops and adventurers moving around in excitement.

Brandon didn't investigate much as this was a shelter guarded by the Dragon race, and any incident would surely be resolved by them.

Moreover, with the giant warriors guarding the hideout with brute force, it was hard to imagine what kind of enemy would dare to attack.

Instead of panic, there was ecstasy and enthusiasm among the present species. The stores were packed with people improving equipment, buying new ones, and purchasing supplies.

Brandon walked through the large crowd as he headed to his inn.

He didn't have the energy to ask what was going on. He arrived at the inn, and the bartender looked him up and down.

This being always returned with wounds all over his body. Brandon had no idea how hard he worked to become stronger, but he admired that about the masked man.

Brandon arrived at his room and entered the bathtub, filling it with water and tonics to clean his body. He slowly fell asleep in the bathtub.

***

"Aaagh!" A deep scream sounded.

"Do you think you can kill me? I am a God, the power you have is thanks to us, and you must honor us," shouted a being made of light lying on the ground with many cracks in his body.

"Your mistake was thinking that we are cattle. You gods exist because we decide so. Without races who believe in you, they wouldn't be alive," said this being as he raised his sword and ruthlessly plunged it into the chest of the light being.

"NOOOOOO…"

After annihilating the God, this being looked around, where he could see bodies scattered everywhere.

Other beings were fighting a war where it was impossible to distinguish between friends and foes. The skies and lands screamed.

"Today the gods will be extinguished, or we will be extinguished. All races united in a single cause."

"Today, you who observe us, must remember. The gods are not omnipotent."

Brandon woke up with his heart beating so loudly that it sounded like drums.

"What was that dream? Why am I having stranger and stranger dreams?"

But still, his body and hands were shaking. He was sure that this being was talking to him, but how could this be possible?.

The stronger he became, the stranger things he dreamed, and this became increasingly frequent.

It had been a short time since his room collapsed, or since he was locked in his room playing video games without goals or purpose.

In a short time, his personality, life, and everything else had undergone a significant change. He was having adventures, becoming stronger, and seeing landscapes he never expected.

He looked at the ceiling and clenched his fists. "I will continue to climb, and every time there is a level, I will surpass it.

And if there are no more levels, I will be the one to build them." He got out of the bathtub and felt renewed.

His body now looked toned after increasing his different statistics. He hadn't noticed that his body had changed so much that even his hair had grown to shoulder length.

He had not put on any clothes while walking around his room. He touched his neck with his right hand and felt uncomfortable.

He had just bathed and was about to dirty himself again, taking out the cores of the ants' bodies.

"Whatever," he started taking out the bodies five by five and extracting the cores. Blood also began to stain the room's floor.

As he finished removing the cores, he kept the bodies to sell and continued the same process.

In a while, he had 63 dirty cores on one side and his entire body along with the room was all dirty and messy.

"I'll have to pay for a cleaning."

"But I have to get stronger, I can't fall behind against beings like the ones I encountered before."

Brandon searched for water and washed the cores and then got a large container.

He returned to the same process of melting and consuming.

[You have consumed a tonic made from corrupted cores +138]

[Saturated Miasma]

138 points!

With this, he could easily be the strongest in the first dimension.

Wow!

Brandon immediately thought about how to distribute the points. He first thought about his new soul statistic.

"Assign 20 points to the Soul."

[WARNING]

[WARNING]

[Corrupted energy could damage the soul, do you wish to continue?]

Brandon was stunned. He would have to see how his soul's capacity increased.

"Assign 20 points to Energy."

[Error!]

[Error!]

[Incompatible energies]

"...Damn... Well, I'll have to do what I can. Assign 9 normal points to the soul?"

He received no response, so he checked if anything had changed and then invested the remaining corrupted points equally.

If he increased his soul statistics, he could also feel his body overflowing with energy after adding the corrupted points.

Brandon turned his body to walk towards the bathtub, but the instant he stepped on it, his body was sent flying forward, passing through different rooms.

His body passed through different buildings until he fell to the ground and raised a lot of dust. While he didn't understand what was happening, he didn't hesitate to activate his tattoo and put on his mask.

You could see a devilishly toned and naked body with a mask on its face.

Brandon didn't think much of the sudden increase in strength. "Sudden increase?"

At that very moment, his body fell to the ground without strength. He was visibly getting thinner.

The city guards soon arrived at the place where Brandon was and saw him lying on the ground.

"Reporting, sir, a human seems to have made a breakthrough and his body is beginning to consume him to satisfy the evolution of his cells."

The dragon man observed Brandon's body and the direction he came from. He had flown hundreds of meters and passed through structures that would be impossible for many.

He approached Brandon's body and inserted a syringe into it.

"Sir, this..." One of the guards who had informed tried to talk to his superior but fell silent.

Brandon's body started to regain its color with the insertion of the syringe and soon he regained his strength.

"It seems like you'll have to do some charity work to pay for the damages to the buildings you've caused and pay for this serum that I've just used."

The supervisor looked at Brandon's back and was surprised. There was a rune in the shape of wings there. He gave a small smile and continued to wait for Brandon's response.

"Thank you for the help," Brandon said, making the slightest movement to sit.

He didn't want to shoot off senselessly again. "Regarding the expenses, you can make an invoice and send it to my residence," he said.

The dragon man just smiled and took a step forward. "I don't think things work like that, kid. You'll have to come with us."

"You'll also have to take off that mask," he added.

Brandon's expression became ugly. He didn't want to reveal his face, not just because of the Red Devil but because he was under the gaze of the Chens and the Moons.

"Don't corner me, commander. I don't want to have to escape from you."

"I don't underestimate you, kid, but you don't have what it takes to escape from us. Your human body, even reaching the limit you need to ascend, is not enough to confront me."

Brandon had no way of proving this, but he wasn't afraid either. When the supervisor approached to apprehend him, Brandon reacted and threw a punch so fast that the Dragon Man hadn't even realized what had happened when he was already flying in the opposite direction and with a sharp pain in his stomach.

Brandon controlled his strength because he knew that killing any of these people would only be problematic for him, so he simply hit with a little force.

But he didn't expect to have such strength, it was more than expected.

The other guards quickly positioned themselves to attack, but suddenly the human in front of them had disappeared without a trace.

Brandon focused his energy on his eyes and moved quickly to the exit of the shelter.

OOONG

A loud horn was heard and the city gates began to close. The giants were at the gate waiting for Brandon.

"Are you sure he's human?" asked one.

He didn't think much and used his mace and threw it down in the direction of Brandon.

Brandon felt everything darkening so he looked up and saw the giant mace heading towards him.

"Do you think you'll bury me along with the city?" he shouted.

He didn't think much and stopped abruptly. "COME ON," he shouted.

He used both hands and waited for the impact.

BOOM
