BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278 Fighting the Colossal Devil Beast (2)
Leo didn’t bother to check the information on his upgraded special talents; instead, he summoned the war god’s battle axe and activated the weapon skill and special effect.
Since he had spent so much energy upgrading his special talents, Leo didn’t want to waste time because his true goal was entering the gateway.
‘If only I could consume the corpses of these devil beasts, it would have been a lot easier.’
While saying that, Leo rushed at the colossal devil beast.
‘Roar’
After receiving back-to-back attacks from Leo 94 times on its weak spots, the colossal devil beast also became much weaker than before.
Nevertheless, it still roared at him before rushing at him.
‘It has become a lot slower than before. I think I can really defeat it.’
[Weapon Skill – Lacerating Strike]
Leo tightened his grip around the war god’s battle axe as he used one of the powerful weapon skills that the battle axe has.
‘Aargh’
‘Slash’.
Since the colossal devil beast was much slower than before, Leo easily found enough time to use his full force to cut through one of the weak spots that already had a huge cut.
‘Roar’
The colossal devil beast roared in pain before falling to the ground with a ‘Thud’.
‘Who would have thought I could kill a level 6 supreme ranked beast with level 8 talents?’
Even though he gave the killing strike with his battle axe, Leo knew it would not have been easy for him to kill the colossal devil beast in a single strike.
‘Anyway, spending one hour to kill the devil beast is worth it.’
He upgraded two of his talents to level 9 and even completed the upgrade requirements for the [Talent Promoter].
Moreover, he also learned the importance of having special talents.
‘They are not called special talents without reason.’
Using these special talents repeatedly, Leo could kill opponents with much higher strength.
‘Ding,
The host met the upgrade requirements for level 8 [Talent Promoter]. Do you want to upgrade it?
‘Ding,
Upgrade requirements to level 8:
1) Upgrade a special talent from level 7 to level 9 by increasing the potential by repeated use of the talent (1/1). [Complete].
2) Upgrade a normal talent or special talent from level 7 to level 9 by increasing the potential by repeated use of the talent (1/1). [Complete].
3) Spend twenty million [Promote Points]. [The user has enough points].
Soon, Leo received a couple of system notifications; however, looking at them, he was not excited; instead, he frowned.
‘Where is the kill notification for the colossal devil beast?’
That’s right! He was waiting for the kill notification of the colossal devil beast so that he could take the devil core inside it and enter the gateway.
However, the system didn’t send the notification.
‘There is only one reason why I didn’t get the system notification: this colossal devil beast has not met its end.’
Leo hurriedly moved away from the colossal devil beast without thinking much, fearing its surprise attacks.
‘Kacha’
‘Growl’
As he expected, the colossal devil beast was not dead yet, and it let out low growls as its body twitched violently.
‘How can it still not be the devil? What is this beast exactly? Is it because of the corrosion?’
Leo frowned, and soon, he saw the colossal devil beast become double its original, and its strength increased from level 6 to level 9 supreme rank.
‘There is no way I can defeat it.’
Looking at the colossal devil beasts, Leo only had a single thought in his head: he could not defeat it.
It was not that Leo was giving up on fighting the colossal devil beast so easily; instead, he had already spent 95 percent of his energy.
‘Fighting it anymore is useless. I think I have to give up on entering the gateway.’
Looking at the huge red-coloured gateway, Leo bitterly shook his head.
‘I wonder how strong the barrier of the gateway is. Did it become weaker after I defeated the level 6 supreme ranked devil beast?’
Leo had already decided to give up on entering the gateway because there was no way for him to defeat the level 9 supreme-ranked colossal devil beast.
However, he wondered whether there were any changes to the gateway when he defeated the level 6 supreme-ranked devil beast and wanted to try entering it one last time before leaving this place.
‘Even though I spent four hours here, it’s not a waste of time because I was able to collect more than 15000 devil cores and even upgraded to special talents to level 9 and completed the upgrade requirements.’
Leo was consoling him regarding the gains he made after entering this world.
‘Most importantly, I have more than 30000 [Supreme Promote Points]. I will have an easy time in upgrading the supreme-ranked talents in the future.’
The [Supreme Promote Points] was the biggest gain he had made, and the supreme ranked devil beasts didn’t have any long-range talents and skills, which made him think that these [Supreme Promote Points] were the easier points he had ever received.
‘I hope the powerful existence from the other side of the gateway will not be furious.’
As the colossal devil beast searched for him, Leo came out of the [Secret Dimensional Space] and tried to enter the gateway.
‘Boom’
However, just like before, Leo was blasted away by the mysterious force.
‘I guess the mysterious being on the other side doesn’t like non-natives to enter his sacred ground.’
Leo stood up from the ground and shook his head in disappointment.
‘I think there were not many changes to the mysterious force or barrier stopping me from entering the gateway. It is time to leave.’
Seeing that Leo was still not allowed to enter the gateway, Leo decided to leave this place.
‘I must find some ground on the other side of this black-coloured sea.’
[Golden Wyvern Wings]
With that thought in mind, Leo summoned his huge golden-colourd wings and was about to fly away when he heard the powerful voice from before.
<An outsider needs to defeat the guardian devil beast to enter this Sacred Ground>
The powerful beings from before said the same words as though it was automated.
‘Sigh…it looks like I am not fated to enter the gateway.’
Since there was no penalty for not completing the mission, Leo didn’t mind giving up on the mission.
‘If only this was a human world, I would have been considered a native.’
Since Arlo became the native of his human world despite coming from another human world, Leo thought it would have been nice if the grade 1 world was a human world.
If Leo was a native, there was no need for him to defeat the colossal devil beast to enter the Sacred Grounds.
‘Wait a second…why am I only focused on entering the gateway? Why didn’t I think of this much sooner?’
Just as Leo flew into the air, he suddenly thought of something that gave him hope.
