Chapter 104: New Evolution
Chapter 104: New Evolution
After feeling that the teleportation ended, Ed opened his eyes. He couldn't see the ground, or anything in front of him so he was surprised. "Eh?!" After instinctively looking down, Ed was stunned. Below him was seemingly an ocean.
*Splash*
Ed even forgot that he could fly, so he ended up hitting the water. The same thing happened with Raikou. "Why is there water under us? How the hell would people be able to leave this floor?!" After emerging from the water, Ed couldn't help but complain. However, he didn't have time to do so, as a school of fish was closing in on him.
"Those are Piranhas?" Ed recognized the type of fish. But, these ones weren't as small as the ones that Ed knew back on Earth. Instead, they were all over one meter long, with teeth that could snap even steel. Ed immediately withdrew Shusui and Ame-No-Murakumo. Muramasa, with its Fire abilities, wouldn't be much help in this situation.
Raikou and Ed started fighting under the water. Usually, one would feel uncomfortable due to the water's resistance. Yet Ed and Raikou looked unbothered. This was due to their training with multiplied Gravity. As well as their basic physical strength. They could easily finish off individual Piranhas. But, they were fighting a whole school. They needed to be more careful. One by one, the Piranhas kept floating to the surface. However, it seemed like Raikou was too annoyed with them, so he used lightning magic. "Aaaaah!" The comical scream of Ed sounded even under the water. Apparently, Raikou didn't know that water could conduct electricity, so he zapped Ed as well.
Thankfully, all of the remaining Piranhas were killed as well. But, Ed looked out of breath after being electrocuted. Being hit with an attack that you didn't expect usually does a number on you. This was a lesson Ed learned today. He didn't dwell on the matter and instead checked his notifications. He had just killed over twenty Piranhas, so he wanted to know if any of them dropped tickets.
"Ohhhh I got two of them!" Ed was very happy while checking the notifications. But when he got to the top, he was stunned. The Kyuubi from earlier gave him 100.000 Exp, and two Gacha tickets. This was the highest amount of Exp he had ever gotten. Ed didn't know how to explain this situation, so he could only rely on the system's explanation.
[Killing monsters with higher cultivation than you, and your monsters would give you more Exp. Plus the Kyuubi was a Legendary monster, meaning even more Exp] Ed still had his doubts. He had killed many monsters with higher cultivation, so he wondered what the difference was this time.
[Remember the bear you killed a while ago in the forest near your kingdom. Although it was only a King Establishment Rare monster, it gave you 5000 Exp.] Ed calmly remembered. It was indeed the truth. He could only accept these things as he couldn't change them. The fact was that he was able to ascend to Earth Establishment level 2 by killing the Kyuubi.
"Let's look for land," Ed got out of the water and flew. Raikou could somehow enter his shadow even though there was no land. Ed was going to carry Raikou before he did that. 'What a useful ability' Ed thought to himself. After checking his Map and flying for a while, he finally found land. It was an island about the size of Paris. Slightly bigger than his kingdom. Ed guessed that the floor this time was made up from the island and the ocean that surrounds it.
Ed also noticed that a couple of blue dots were on his Map. He felt relieved that he didn't meet any enemies in this tower yet, but he felt that he was only lucky. Such people would definitely appear one day or the other. Ed wasn't going to bother and meet these blue dots. He was going to spend some time stabilizing his abilities while training on this floor. He finally got ten Gacha tickets. This usually meant that he would draw Gacha since it became a habit to do so only when he had ten tickets.
He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan's ability and created a pocket dimension. He was planning to rest after drawing his Gacha. Afterward, it would be hunting monsters and non-stop training. Ed opened up the Gacha interface and chose his draws.
"System, use all ten tickets on Function Gacha" Ed wasn't going to try and distribute them. Who knew what would happen if he didn't get the upgrade cards. He didn't want to risk his sight.
[Drawing, please wait]
*Ding*
Acquired Upgrade Card x6, Transformation Cardx2, Healing Cardx2.
Ed had a wry smile on his face. He actually forgot that the most common card he ever got was the upgrade card. However, it was all good to Ed. He could upgrade other things now.
Ed summoned Suika and the rest. They were going to have some food after Ed finished upgrading.
Ed used two Upgrade Cards to level up his Mangekyo Sharingan to Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. Now, he could use his powerful ocular skill without having to worry about becoming blind. After activating his new skill, he noticed that his eyes were much darker now, rather than red. The triangles that resulted from the intersecting squares were now all black. And the hole that was in the middle of the circle grew larger and had a similarly red hole inside of it.
"Use two Upgrade cards on Suika" Ed made up his choice. He was going to upgrade Suika who had been with him for almost as long as Raikou. A bright yellow light surrounded Suika. If they weren't inside the pocket dimension, those on the island would definitely notice this light. Suika's evolution lasted for more than half an hour. After the light dissipated Ed heard a notification from the system.
[Name the new species] This was all what the system said. "What do you mean?"
[Suika got both Black and White magic now. No other slime got this before, making her a new species] Ed finally understood what was going on. He was also very happy with Suika's improvement. Even her aura right now was no lesser than the Kyuubi's.
"How about Nephilim slime?" Ed looked at Suika who was now yellow in color. "Suu!" She answered him vigorously. It didn't matter if she understood what it meant or not. She trusted Ed and that was enough.
