Gacha Sovereign Chapter 241: EXP

Chapter 241: EXP

241 EXP

"Boom Boom Boom!"

Explosions sound were continuously heard on the battlefield. The ground that had been dyed red, whether from humans or monsters. Shriekings of the dying and painful howlings that were echoing on the battlefield.

Even if one wanted to look away, the sound of the battlefield would ring on their head. Seeing the dying monsters, seeing the dying comrades... If they didn't hold the monsters in here, many people behind their backs would die.

Alex continued throwing his spear this entire time, and he glanced at those high ranking people who had yet to move. They had killed around five thousand monsters, while two hundred of their comrades had been killed. If not because of Alex's and the rest's presence on the battlefield, the casualties would be much more. Alex's group alone had killed half of the number. It was insane to do that with only five people. But Alex's group had done it.

Alex also preserved his strength in this battle. He had yet to unleash his Spear Intent. If not, his spear would have more impact than this one. He only used his raw strength and Immovable Step. Leoz also did the same. Although he looked like he was recklessly charged toward the monster, he didn't really use his Spiritual Energy that much.

Anna and Fabio were also the same, especially Fabio. Because he needed to come back once in a while to give those spears back to Alex. He didn't really fight that much.

Alex found out one thing about their leveling system after observing Fabio. Fabio had leveled up thrice in this battlefield. He became level 19 or 9-Star Martial Master. Alex could see that after leveling up, he became energetic again.

It seemed the system recovered their energy each time they leveled up. Of course, Alex wouldn't know after they leveled up, they just got their previous power that had been converted by the time they became a Spirits exclusive from the system.

With that much power stored in their repertoire, not only they got a power up after each level up, but they also replenished their energy. Alex didn't know about this. He only understood that this system was perfect for him since they could continuously fight. He felt a bit bad for them, though, to the extent he would go to fight with them.

He couldn't do that because he was wary about the high ranking on the city wall. If Alex went there and killed those monsters by himself, his power would be depleted, and others might know his real strength. He did this not because he was afraid of trouble, but because he wanted to protect his Spirits.

From here, Alex also could check their status card and call them back if necessary. And the most important thing, he preserved his strength for the next battle with the monster leader. He didn't know what kind of monster he would meet later.

His worry was justified. This entire time, the high ranking people on the city wall also glanced at him from time to time. They wanted to measure his power. Alex's spear prowess was, no doubt, a top notch one. But, they hadn't seen his Spear Intent.

A core disciple of Heavenly Sword Intent but didn't have an intent even just a normal intent? It was a joke, and it wasn't even funny. That meant Alex had been holding back this whole time.

Alex suddenly received a call from Nelson.

"Young Master. I have found the leader. The leader is a 10-Star Grandmaster Stage monster. But the monster is a phoenix. It would be a bit hard to fight it." Nelson said.

"A phoenix? Is there such a monster?" Alex was astonished to hear that.

"Although people in this world call them monsters, they, in fact, were Spirit Beasts like Sherry. A phoenix was indeed rare, and the one in front of us was only a child. Even so, it should not be underestimated." Nelson said.

Alex pondered for a moment as he murmured. "A phoenix..."

"It is a kind of firebird, right? Should it be fine with my fire? We can restrain it that way."

"Young Master's fire is indeed effective. But a phoenix was known for its regeneration, and our attacks wouldn't be that effective unless Young Master restrain it with your Pure Fire. That meant we couldn't drag the battle too much."

"Then, the problem is?" Alex asked.

"The fire from a phoenix is considered as a high level flame. Its rank is not far from Young Master Pure Fire, so Young Master couldn't suppress it that much. That means, you need Spiritual Energy to enhance your suppression, in other words, you need to take a full brunt of Spiritual Energy from a peak Grandmaster Stage monster with your 2-Star Martial Grandmaster strength.

It would drain your Spiritual Energy immediately. From my speculation, you can only restrain the phoenix for a minute. In the meantime, the rest of us need to kill the phoenix. But, the phoenix will fight back too. I am only a 3-Star Grandmaster, or even Leoz, who was the highest one amongst us, was only a 7-Star Martial Grandmaster."

Alex contemplated for a while. He was trying to come up with a plan. "If Leoz can reach 8-Star Martial Grandmaster or more, how is our chance?"

"It will become significantly higher, If Leoz reached 9-Star Martial Grandmaster, as long as we hold the phoenix down for a moment, I'm sure Leoz will be able to deal the killing blow." Nelson said. "Oh, that's right. This mythical creature can be useful for you, Young Master. You can try to absorb the fire energy contained in its blood, and I'm sure you can breakthrough to 3-Star Martial Grandmaster."

"Absorb?" Alex narrowed his eyes. He felt it was very similar to the EXP case in the lower world. Alex was pondering whether it was the same or not. "System, can I really absorb it?"

[Yes, Host. Phoenix's fire level is high enough to let your Pure Fire refine it without any setback. Usually, a phoenix is enslaved by people. They can nurture the phoenix until the phoenix is powerful enough before killing it. They will kill it and absorb the energy contained inside the phoenix blood.

When the phoenix was killed, they will be back to their egg form as a sign of rebirth. They won't hold their previous memory, and their strength will restart from the bottom. So, the people nurture it once again before killing it. That process will repeat again and again]

Alex suddenly twitched his eyebrows. After all, hearing that kind of thing was a bit disturbing.

[Of course, the people in this world don't have a belief like that. They believe absorbing the egg form of a phoenix will boost their strength even further. I believe Host won't do such a thing either. After all, it might affect your karma along with this Gacha System]

Alex's expression became a bit soft. At least, in this world, it will become their true end after they got killed in this world. It was better than to be enslaved through their entire life. Even if they didn't retain their memory, it was still pitiful for him.

A part of him that came from earth might make him think like that. But Alex didn't mind. Alex nodded, he would just kill the phoenix and absorb it entirely. He won't enslave the phoenix just to exploit it.

[Are you going to kill it, Host?]

"Yes."

[Mission: Kill the Phoenix

Reward: 5x Premium Ticket]

Alex checked his system.

[Gacha Ticket x517

Premium Ticket x0

Dart x0

Summoning Ticket x0

Summoning Coin x1]

He almost got two hundred gacha tickets in this battle. He might get many EXP Card (R) with this many tickets. Not that many, but it has to be more than five.

"Use all my tickets!" Alex decided to use all his tickets. He should use every opportunity to get stronger. He would be able to get the tickets back sooner or later. But, an opportunity like this was rare. Even if he came back to the sect, he would need to do some bitter cultivation once more.

[Processing]

[Unbending Sword (R) x1]

[Summoning Coin (C) x1]

[Brick (C) x1]

[Metal Toothpick (UC) x1]

.....

....

...

[Umbrella (C) x1]

Alex couldn't check everything this time. He would check it after he got back. Alex only looked at the EXP Cards, which he needed. He got nine EXP Cards (R) and twenty EXP Cards (UC). He didn't bother with the EXP Cards (C) since it couldn't bring him much EXPs.

Twenty EXP cards (UC) was equal to two EXP cards (R). Alex checked Leoz's card.

[Leoz (Thunder)

Level: 27/80 (7-Star Martial Grandmaster Stage)

Exp: 11353/170000

HP: 8400

ATK: 450

DEF: 445]

He tried to let him level up with his EXP cards (R) to get him to a Martial Lord. Alex couldn't believe that he managed to level up Leoz to Martial Lord.

[Leoz (Thunder)

Level: 31/80 (1-Star Martial Lord Stage)

Exp: 28647/210000

HP: 10600

ATK: 610

DEF: 595]

Well, he might only be able to use this method for a low level. Judging from the number of EXPs that increased ten thousand for each level.

He could see that Martial Lord Stage had a base EXP of two hundred thousand, then the Martial King had three hundred base EXP and continued to Martial Emperor, and so on.

If he wanted to level him up with EXP cards, it would take a big amount of EXP cards. Well, he can worry about it in the future. Leoz had reached Martial Lord Stage so that the phoenix wouldn't become their opponent again.

Alex took out every EXP Cards (UC) from here and used it on Fabio.

[Fabio Donatelli (Fire)

Level: 21/80 (1-Star Martial Grandmaster Stage)

Exp: 5039/110000

HP: 5500

ATK: 310

DEF: 270]

Luckily, he had managed to level up Fabio to Grandmaster Stage. He had two EXP Cards (R) left in his possession. Anna and Nelson had yet to level up. Considering Anna would only become his secretary for the time being and Nelson would need to investigate the dangerous Zhou Kingdom, Alex chose to use it on Nelson.

[Nelson (Dark)

Level: 25/80 (5-Star Martial Grandmaster)

Exp: 49151/16000

HP: 6300

ATK: 650

DEF: 330]

Alex was satisfied with this result. "Nelson, If Leoz fights with the phoenix alone, what is the result?"

"It will be a hard fight. After all, the phoenix had a special characteristic, which is their regeneration, and the phoenix itself is a peak Grandmaster Stage. Leoz can fight with 2-Star or even 3-Star Martial Lord, but it is different if his opponent is a phoenix.

As like when your opponent needs to fight you, your Pure Fire might let you fight a few levels above you. The phoenix is also the same. You and the phoenix have a uniqueness, respectively. That's why it will be a hard fight."

"Then, I shall go with him to suppress the phoenix flame. As soon as we kill the phoenix, Leoz will go back to the battlefield and continue to kill the monsters."

"!!!" Nelson understood his meaning, "Then, Young Master, you should bring someone to protect you if you are going to absorb the phoenix."

"All right. I will bring Sherry with me. I will recall you here to be the guide." Alex said. He was planning to test Sherry. Back in the lower world, he and Sherry often fought hand in hand. Maybe, after entering this world, she became too comfortable with her current lifestyle. So he was planning to bring her and test her at the same time.

"Yes."

"Summon!" Alex summoned Nelson back to his side.

The other high ranking people on the city wall obviously saw this. With the sudden appearance of Nelson, they were shocked. They didn't even sense his presence before suddenly he appeared out of nowhere. If he decided to kill them, they wouldn't even know they had died.

"Young Master." Nelson greeted him as usual. Then he suddenly raised his hand and opened his palm. A black ball... No, it was like his shadow, the ball turned to a bird shape. "Young Master, you can take this small bird with you. It will become your guide. I will help others while you are away."

Alex's eyes widened. As expected from a reliable guy. Nelson impressed him once again. Alex nodded. "Sure."

As soon as Alex nodded his head, Nelson immediately disappeared as he moved toward the battlefield. Alex took out Leoz's card this time and called him, "Leoz, come back to the wall. We are going to the boss."

"Understood."

Leoz immediately went back to the city wall upon hearing Alex's voice.
