Chapter 288 - Greed Is The Path To Destruction
In the minor ghost word,
Henrick was currently lying on the ground in his own pool of blood.
Above him, many ambush ghosts were flying and checking on him from time to time; however, no one dared to harm him even a little because their master would not hesitate to kill them if they tried something funny.
'Ding,
Congratulations to the master for experiencing tremendous pain from the earlier attack.
'Ding,
Master's skill 'Endurance' successfully upgraded to level 4.
'Aargh'
With the two system notifications, Henrick woke up from his sleep with a painful groan.
However, the moment he came to consciousness, the pain surprisingly disappeared without a trace.
'Wait...I am still in this ghost world?'
Henrick rubbed the back of his head as he looked at the healed injury on his chest before looking at the floating ambush ghosts around him.
'Thank heavens that the eerie voice still needs me to know how I entered this world.'
Once his brain started working properly, Henrick thanked the heavens.
'Looks like the eerie voice is not here. Should I kill these ambush ghosts?'
Since he could leave the minor ghost voice whenever he wanted to live, Henrick became a little greedy as he decided to kill more ambush ghosts because the more ambush ghosts he kills, the higher his reward from the trial master would be.
'Ancient fire sure.'
With that thought in his mind, Henrick directly used his skill and all the ambush ghosts floating around him started burning.
'Arargh'
Only painful shouts of the ambush ghosts could be heard in Henrick surroundings.
'Ding,
Master killed rank 4 ambush ghosts x 100.
'Ding,
Master gained 100 reputation points, 10000 crude souls and 100 small ghost cores.
'What the hell? All these ambush ghosts are rank 4? What are they doing floating above me?'
Henrick was shocked to the core when he saw those system notifications.
Since Henrick could not differentiate between the ambush ghosts, he thought all the ambush ghosts that were floating above him were rank 2 or rank 3.
'Holy heavens. This time my reward is going to be huge.'
Soon, Henrick started thinking about the reward he would get from the trial master because he killed more ambush ghosts than he was supposed to get which gives him a high clearance from the trial master.
"Since the eerie voice helped me so much in the trial, I will say goodbye to him before leaving this world."
With a slight smile on his face, Henrick thought to wait until the eerie voice returned.
'Until then, I will kill a few more ambush ghosts. Moreover, if it awakens more rank 5 ambush ghosts, then let it be because I can leave this world whenever I want.'
With that thought in his mind, Henrick started searching for the ambush ghosts and started killing them without any mercy.
'This is very interesting,'
As an ancient fire demon, Henrick felt killing other beings very interesting as it was in their nature to hunt others.
'Vision sigil, activate.'
Moreover, he didn't bother to store the item he got from completing 50 percent of the trial.
After activating the 'Vision sigil', his range of vision increased from 20 meters to one kilometer which greatly increased his killing efficiency.
Within a few minutes, he killed more than 10000 ambush ghosts.
However, among them, there was not a single rank 4 ambush ghost because Henrick had already killed all the rank 4 ambush ghosts under the eerie voice.
"What have you done?"
While Henrick was busy killing the ambush ghosts to increase his reward, he heard the familiar eerie voice.
"My army...my army, you destroyed everything."
The eerie voice was not as arrogant as before because he was devastated by seeing his army of ambush ghosts destroyed by Henrick.
The biggest blow to the eerie voice will be the destruction of his 100 rank 4 ambush ghosts because it was his main force.
"Huh? You have a humanoid form?"
Henrick was shocked to see the owner of the eerie voice because he had a humanoid form; however, he was wearing a grey cloth just like the other ambush ghosts with two daggers in his hands.
"I am going to devour you."
As soon as he finished his words, the humanoid form rushed towards Henrick.
'Swoosh'
Before Henrick could react, the eerie voice was behind him.
'What speed?'
Henrick was shocked by the speed of the eerie voice; however, he controlled his emotions and looked fearless.
And the reason why he was fearless is, of course, he knew that the eerie voice was not going to kill him because he had yet to reveal how he entered this world.
"If you are thinking that I will not do anything to you just because you are yet to answer my question. Right now, I don't need any use of you anymore."
'Kacha'
As soon as he finished his words, the eerie voice pierced his dagger into Henrick's chest.
'What?'
Henrick was shocked as he didn't understand what had changed while he was unconscious.
"Kid, I found out you are not a human; instead, you belong to one of the master class demon races."
In his usual eerie voice, the humanoid figure replied with a light chuckle.
Even though the eerie voice was very angry at Henrick for killing his high-level minions, he wanted to savour Henrick slowly because he never knew when he would be eating a member from the master class demon race.
'Damn it. How did he find out about me? Is my skill not working anymore?'
Henrick was shocked to the core and without wasting any time, 'Trial master, I want to exit this world.'
Since he no longer needed to stay in this world, Henrick didn't hesitate to ask the trial master to take him back to the inheritance building.
"I am going to show you what true pain looks like."
While Henrick was waiting for the trial master to take him back, the eerie voice said to Henrick in a cruel tone.
