Ch-:9 SSS Grade

"Vilkan's team and mercenary team both were unaware of another presence. It was none other than Sogen who was following them."

"Vilkan and others were continuously damaging the Ember Serpent."

"Suddenly Vilkan jumps and strikes on the beast's head with his full energy in his hands. The ferocious beast fell with a loud thud and screams in pain, but soon he took his last breath and died."

"Yay! We defeated the Ember Serpent.", A man from the hired mercenary team shouted in joy.

"Huuh!..."

"Suddenly a dagger pierced through his heart, blood kept coming from his mouth. It was a person from Vilkan's team who stabbed him."

"Vilkan, what are your team members doing. Stop them.", Mercenary leader shouted looking towards Vilkan. But he feels a chilling sensation in his bones as he sees towards him. Vilkan had a grim smile on his face.

"Mercenary leader understood the situation and shouted his team to gather around him"

"Everyone be careful.",He shouted.

"Vilkan, why?"

"Lasaar, you said why. It's because of our deal, you wanted the skin and other materials of this beast. At that time we had no choice but to agree because we needed some cannon fodders. You also know how precious these materials are. So you have to die."

"Vilkan, we don't want these materials but please let us go."

"You should have thought about this before our deal, now go to hell and kept thinking that why were you so greedy.",Vilkan said and started to laugh, his laugh can be heard throughout the forest.

"Attack them and don't leave a single one of them alive."

But before they could attack suddenly one of Vilkan's team member's neck was sliced and he died on the spot. All the people present were terrified after seeing it. The person died in an instant he could not even react and they were not able to see how he died.

Suddenly every person in Vilkan's team started to die, one by one. Some tried to run towards Vilkan and some bent on their knees and started to beg for their lives but all were killed mercilessly.

"What was the name of this weapon? Dark Shadow Blade! It is really upto its name. In places with shadows and in dark places, people are not able to see it clearly", Sogen thinks.

Sogen killed every team member of Vilkan's team

Vilkan was terrified and started to shout," Who are you? If you want to fight then come before me and fight like a brave person rather than hiding in shadows like a coward."

Suddenly a shadow comes out behind the trees and stands before Vilkan. It was none other than Sogen.

Vilkan was shocked because even though Sogen was standing so close to him, he was unable to feel his presence. He was even more surprised that it was not any powerful person but only a 15-16 year boy and his cultivation was no less than him. But he composed himself .

Suddenly Sogen says," Using other people as meat sheilds, are you even capable enough to call someone coward."

"Boy, You are too naive if you had stayed hidden in the shadows, you might survived. But now you had to die."

Before he could say any further Sogen throws his Dark Shadow Blade towards him, which was barely doged by Vilkan.

He fumed with anger and said,"Boy, don't blame me for being harsh on you, a small boy, it's all your own fault. D Grade Innate Talent , Body Strengthning Activate. Boy my innate talent makes my defense strong even one level higher than me can't break my defense. Now get ready to die."

Vilkan moves towards Sogen to attack him.

Sogen attacks him with his Dark Shadow Blade but he was shocked to see that this time his attack only leave a small wound on Vilkan's body.

Vilkan attacks with a strong punch but Sogen easily dodged it.

"I don't want to extend this fight longer, I have to finish him",Sogen thinks.

He takes out a sword from system's inventory and uses his Solar Sword Technique.

"Solar Sword 4th Form Sun Blasting Slash",He thinks and attacks Vilkan.

Vilkan was terrified to see this much immense power in a single slash, he tries to move his body but it was all in vain. Sogen's sword slashed his body in two parts and there were burning marks in between his body, it was like his blood was evaporated from the place where Sogen's strike lands.

Sogen himself was shocked to see how powerful this technique was.

"Ding! Host killed a Earth Realm 5th Bottom Stage Cultivator.

Rewards-:10,000 system coins, Basic Healing Pill ×3."

So I can also get rewards by killing other cultivators. Then he starts to move towards Vilkan's body to check if he has some precious materials or not but as soon as he touched his body, he heard a voice.

"SSS Grade Innate Talent, Everything is Mine Activated. Absorbing D Grade Innate Talent Body Strengthing."

Suddenly a glowing ball emergency from Vilkan's body and goes into Sogen's body.

Sogen's body started to undergo some changes. It was like his genes were mutating. Golden Veins can be seen throughout his body. After some time this process was completed.

Sogen was surprised as he could feel his body has become strong.

"So that's my talent. There are some talents which have some requirements. My talent can absorb other's innate talent. In my clan I never touched a dead animal, touching a corpse was a distant thing. So if I touch a dead body I can acquire their talent. Amazing!"

Everyone who were alive, from the mercenary team were standing there in shock. Sogen walks towards the Ember Serpent with sword in his hand. Suddenly he attacks the beast.

"Solar Sword 3rd Form Whirling Sunlight" , He thinks and cutted the Serpent's head.

Then he extracts the Ember Serpent Core. But this time his innate talent didn't activate.

"So it only works on humans. This snake was too clever he fooled everyone by acting dead but he was waiting for everyone to come close and then he will explode. If it wasn't for my Spiritual Energy, even I wouldn't be able to sense it", Sogen thinks.

Ding! Host has killed the Ember Serpent Quest Completed

Sogen looks towards mercenary team again. Everyone was terrified because they were thinking now it's their turn to die. "I only want this core, the remaining materials are yours. Sell these materials and also give some money to the family of those people who have died from your team. Leave this town as soon as possible because people who are backing Vilkan can also come for you."

After saying all this Sogen ran towards the forest and disappeared in shadows.
