Lucifer's Descendant System Chapter 229: Now do you believe me?

Chapter 229: Now do you believe me?

"Now do you believe me?" Noah asked the group while standing among 4 wild boar corpses burning around him.

This scene, combined with his fire armor and the pair of wings he had summoned, gave a sense of power that these people did not even imagine could come from a Blessed One in the same rank as them.

If they were Blessed Rank E and found themselves face to face with a Blessed Rank C, they were sure that definitely such a powerful aura of pressure over them would be totally understandable, after all, the difference in strength between the two would be very big. But at that time, Noah was a Blessed Rank C just like them, not to mention that Noah was still a 20-year-old Blessed who had just reached Rank C, probably not even having absorbed any essence as they had been absorbing for years.

The only one who didn't feel this pressure from Noah was the captain, who was a Blessed Rank B, but that didn't stop the captain from feeling that Noah's strength was too high for Rank C, possibly even reaching the level of a Blessed that had just reached Rank B.

Unless a person was extremely talented, reaching Rank B before the age of 40 was already a great achievement for most, let alone a boy who was only 20 years old. This was unimaginable even among the capital's talents.

Equating Noah with the Blessed Ones of the big families, only a single chosen one in each family could match him, but it was known that these chosen ones were trained from an early age to receive this support from the family, and as soon as they were promoted to Rank C a family would start to feed them with essences just as a wealthy grandmother feeds her grandson with sweets.

The effect of this was obvious: that person would reach Rank D in a few months - but, on the other hand, that person's strength and base would be very unstable, perhaps leaving them unable to exert the full strength that a common Rank B could perform.

But who knew that Noah, just 20 years old and with no support at all, could have achieved a meteoric advance as fast as these resource-spoiled youngsters?

"Alright kid, you proved your strength. I think at this moment n.o.body is opposed to your suggestion that we go after the group of 8 monsters?" The captain asked.

But at that moment one of the warriors raised his left hand and asked, "Why should we go after a group of 8 monsters if one of the small groups has already been dealt with by him? We could just go after the two small groups and not take unnecessary risks."

But before the captain could say anything, Noah responded, "On the flight path here I saw three more small groups on the way we would have between us and the boss's room. So that number went up to 5 groups in total, while on the big group's path, there is just one more small group, which would be equivalent to 3 small groups. I particularly just suggested this to save time, but if you're so reluctant to go the short way, I don't mind killing more monsters, as the chance of getting essences also increases."

Noah's point was able to cover all of what people were thinking. Some still wanted to go the long way to get more merit points, while others were concerned about safety and preferred to go the short way.

Fortunately, there was someone to make the decision for them here. "I know the boss of this Fortress, and if nothing is wrong, it will be a pair of stone giants. One of the giants has colossal physical strength, while the other giant manages to summon stone animals to help the battle. If the concern is to get essences, the Boss is enough to recover our expenses; if the concern is safety, reaching the altar of the Boss without many injuries and being better rested will also be better. After all, dealing with a Rank C Boss is already problematic, and dealing with two at the same time, managing them both can be even more challenging, not counting the monsters that the second Boss will summon."

Hearing this from the captain made the doubt that the Blessed Ones had come to an end. Regardless of what each person had previously preferred, Noah's solution to this problem was the most practical.

What on the one hand was great for the team, on the other hand was very problematic for the Blessed who wanted to stand out in this invasion. From the first

battle they had, Noah's presence became indispensable. Both physically in the battles and concerning intelligence that the group had about the Fortress and the information that the group had for scouting. Obviously the who would receive the most merit points as possible in the group had already been decided.

Not that Noah cared about that; the only thing he wanted to do was get monsters' corpses and get stronger. He was in no hurry to be a protagonist and get all possible corpses from this Fortress, especially with such incompetent teammates. If he couldn't kill all the monsters here, he could find a better team in the future.

Just as Noah's battle alone against the small group of monsters went smoothly, the battle of the entire group against the large group of monsters also went smoothly, to the anger of the warriors of the group. Even if they tried their best, they could not attract the attention of more than 3 wild boars, which left Noah to deal with 5 wild boars, but with the help of the captain they still managed to cope.

However, for every time the captain interceded for the team, someone would definitely lose merit points due to incompetence, and everyone knew very well that this person would certainly not be Noah.

"s.h.i.+t... is this the Boss?" an archer asked in amazement as she looked at the two stone giants sleeping on a stone mountain.

The size of these giants was no smaller than a 5-story building. Even if they were leaning against the mountain, it was possible to see the two of them sleeping from a distance. While one of the giants was very muscular, the other giant was clearly thinner. The sight of them caused the Blessed to swallow a little saliva in concern.

Noah, at that moment, was flying in the air, taking notice of the terrain and what could be used by the team to deal with these giants.

When he landed, the hostile looks he was receiving earlier had changed to restless looks. If before they had hated Noah for having such a powerful Blessing, now, after seeing the monsters they would have to deal with, Noah's Blessing had become their salvation, for being able to gain advantages that they would not have had naturally before such as knowledge of the terrain and strategic places to position the rear of the team.

Even though Noah didn't like these people very much, he knew they were going to face an uphill battle now, to the point that even he was worried whether they would make it. After all, it was the first Rank C Boss he would face. So Noah told the team everything he was able to observe from the sky, preparing for the battle where there might possibly be some deaths.
