Chapter 10 Blood Engraving
Chapter 10 Blood Engraving
"Hey Chris, how can you say that about me? What monster? I'm just incredibly talented, a prodigy!" Lucifer said calmly, but his face was filled with excitement. He hadn't expected to gain another skill; this was the benefit of the protagonist's halo!
Considering that it is not the authentic Lion's Roar Kung Fu, and that it was obtained from the one-eyed ape, he has decided to name this skill Ape Roar. With a rage, it can shatter mountains and rivers; with a roar, it can tread rivers and seas. It is powerful enough.
“Isn’t that right?” Chris said bluntly. She could accept Lucifer mastering one or two special skills, but she couldn’t accept that he mastered her unique skills. How could he use other people’s skills? What else could he be but a monster?
"You're wrong to say that. If I'm a monster, then what are you, the one who created me?" Lucifer said calmly. Chris was insulting herself.
"..."
Chris was speechless. Lucifer had only been created for a little over a month, so he should have been an empty shell who knew nothing. But it seemed that he was a guy who knew everything.
She naturally didn't know that Lucifer's soul came from Earth; this was Lucifer's secret, and he naturally didn't tell Chris.
Chris could only conclude that Lucifer possessed knowledge of the various races, humans, and beasts she had slain; she couldn't think of any other explanation.
"I have something important to tell you."
"What? I'm all ears."
Lucifer pricked up his ears and listened intently. If he angered Chris, it would be troublesome if she brought out a one-eyed ape or an even stronger magical beast.
He wasn't sure how strong the next monster would be, or if he could escape responsibility. He didn't want to create trouble for himself; this month-long hellish existence had almost driven him to the brink of collapse.
He absolutely did not want to go through hell again. He wanted to find girls, lots of girls, and add them all to his harem. Otherwise, there would be no point in him coming to this world. He might as well stay with his childhood sweetheart.
A journey to another world without a harem is soulless; this is a realization every otaku should have.
"Considering everything that has happened, I've thought about it carefully, and I've realized that your special skill should be able to steal the enemy's skills," Chris said earnestly. This was a fact, and there was no other explanation.
She was even a little jealous. The special skill of plundering was practically a divine skill. If she had this skill, she would undoubtedly become the number one person below the gods, and would have a chance to become a god.
But this skill happens to appear on other people, and even on people she created. It's infuriating just thinking about it.
"Damn, that's awesome! Does that mean I'll be invincible from now on?" Lucifer was overjoyed. When he thought about plundering, he couldn't help but think of an anime called Charlotte. Wasn't the male protagonist in that anime able to plunder other people's skills?
This is practically a cheat code! This happiness came so suddenly, it caught me completely off guard!
My heart can't take it, it's too exciting.
"Then how do I plunder other people's skills? Can I just use them as soon as I see them?" Lucifer continued to ask. To his shame, although it was his special skill, he didn't know how to use it.
"You gained my special skill after drinking my blood, and now you've gained another skill after drinking the blood of the one-eyed ape."
"You mean the condition for activating my special skill is to drink blood? As long as I drink the other person's blood, I can use their special skill?" Lucifer could hardly hide his excitement. As long as he could plunder other people's special skills, it didn't matter whether he drank blood or not. After all, he was a vampire, and he couldn't help but drink blood. It was a special skill tailor-made for him!
Thank God, thank Jesus, thank Buddha, for giving me such amazing skills.
Amitabha, Arigato, thank you.
"Yes, that should be basically it, but I feel that your special skill is not limited to this. Are there any other functions that need to be discovered?" Chris nodded. This was the result of her careful analysis, and it should not be too wrong.
If plunder is possible, then can't we also...?
"That's enough, that's enough. Being able to plunder skills is already enough. If it had any other functions, that would be too much. Even the gods would probably find it unbearable." Lucifer had a satisfied smile on his face. This skill was enough for him to show off to the death. If it had any other functions, he was afraid he would be struck by lightning. It was too overpowered.
"Aren't you going to give it a name?"
"Of course it needs a name. I've already thought of one: from now on, this special skill of mine will be called Blood Engraving. Stealing other people's blood to engrave their abilities—how cool is that?" Lucifer blurted out without hesitation, even boasting about it.
In the past, as a top-tier otaku, he had played countless games and seen countless skills, but he didn't want to use a duplicate name. His skills had to be named by himself, unique, only then would they be worthy of him.
"Well, it's barely acceptable," Chris said indifferently.
"What should we do next?" Lucifer had no goals and everything was based on Chris's will. He had no idea what to do next.
"Of course you'll continue your hellish life. Level 11 is too weak. Besides, I need to recover. The more monsters you kill, the faster I recover, so I can return to the vampire clan and avenge myself. If your level is too weak and you can't help, then I've created you for nothing." Chris continued, still with an icy expression. Lucifer hadn't seen Chris smile at all from the beginning!
Chris is so beautiful, she's like an ice queen. I wonder what she went through, or if she's always been like this.
He couldn't help but imagine Chris's smile in his mind—beautiful, stunning, and captivating. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but smile.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Lucifer grinning at her, Chris suddenly spoke up, "You'd better not think about anything ridiculous. We have a contract, and I can sense what you're thinking to some extent. You'd better focus on leveling up, or I'll have to deal with you myself."
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." Lucifer looked impatient. If he had to stay in this deserted forest every day, wouldn't it be too boring? Besides, he wanted to build a harem! How could he do that here?
Although Chris was a truly stunning beauty, like an angel, he dared not harbor any impure thoughts towards her. Lucifer only felt admiration for her, an appreciation of her beauty.
Because Chris's stunning beauty made it difficult for him to feel any sense of desecration; she was breathtakingly beautiful, as if she shouldn't exist in this world.
"That's enough for today! Use this rest time to familiarize yourself with your special skills so you can use them better. Let's continue fighting monsters and leveling up tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
