Aron couldn't believe this unexpected, amazing stroke of good luck that he began celebrating by jumping up and down like a monkey.
"Ba ha ha ha! Ba ha ha ha! What an idiot!"
"This idiot actually had the chance to select an S-Ranked skill, and yet he didn't!"
"Ha ha ha ha! Phew! Ha ha ha! Foolish human!"
"These humans are truly stupid! They have pig brains! Phew! Thank the gods! I am saved!"
This continued on for a while as the fairy openly lauded his good luck and the other party's feeble intelligence. He only calmed down after several minutes of dancing around in happiness.
However, after that, Aron settled down, composed himself, and rubbed the distinctive pimple on his big protruding nose. Though his problems were temporarily solved, there was still a big threat looming around.
The human being had failed to see the good thing one time, but there was no guarantee that he would behave in this same manner every single time.
Perhaps for the second skill, he might really receive another S- Rank option, and he might even end up selecting it! Then once again, he would be screwed!
No! That cannot happen! The fairy started chewing out his nails.
"I just have to see to it that the idiot doesn't ever again step foot in my shop. Level 80, huh? I know exactly what to do."
Meanwhile, a white fox floated high up in the sky as she snarled at the distant ruined building that was still somewhat standing despite the last battle that had taken place there.
Liam and Luna had arrived at the same spot once again.
"Master!" Luna growled. She couldn't wait for the next orders as she still wanted to rip that spider apart into two. However, Liam shook his head. "Stay back and only come in when I order you to."
Though these were the same words he had spoken before, this time, it was for a different reason. Leaving the white fox behind, Liam jumped onto the ground and dashed toward the familiar place.
At the same time, a pair of crimson eyes flashed open on a distant island. "This insect is back again? So soon? Is he foolish or what? Well, whatever."
The little kid looked startled for a moment but then dove back into the magazine that was unfolded in front of him, showing no more interest in the new development he had sensed.
After all, it was not like there was anything in this lower realm that could get his interest.
When compared to the dazzling, tasteful art drawn in these magazines, an insignificant insect barging straight onto a wall and banging its head repeatedly to its death was pretty boring.
And as for the said insect…
Liam jumped straight down to the basement floor of the ruined building and then the hollow space beneath it. His opponents were already waiting for him.
"Ke Ke Ke! I had a feeling that you would be back." Helikatos wagged his long tongue and skittered out with a big sneer on his face.
Walking along with him was the vampire lord, except that this time, there was a new face on this vampire lord.
Oh, so the previous one was already tossed away? Liam smirked.
His arrogance ticked off the spider beast man, who expected Liam to once again shake in fear in his presence.
"What are you smirking for? Fool, did you think that this Helikatos won't be guarding the treasure today? You are a fly who got caught in my trap. You will not escape from here again! You will suffer and become my meal! Ke Ke Ke"
The spider's loud laughter filled the room. The next second, one of his limbs moved, and from the tip of this limb, several thick ooey gooey stuff blasted out like projectiles.
These then expanded and unexpectedly covered the entire hollow gaping hole in which they were standing. Essentially, the whole place was now sealed in a sort of spider net.
Helikatos grinned arrogantly and rubbed his metallic limbs together as if he was preparing to devour the meal in front of him. "All exits are sealed. There is nowhere for you to run today. Ke Ke Ke."
Without any warning, the spider dashed forward toward Liam, and the vampire lord standing behind him once again started chanting something.
The same blood-red sword materialized in his hand, and a blood-red aura seeped out of him.
The whole affair went down exactly like how it had happened before.
But this time… Liam was calm.
The mana in his body thrummed wildly, and the black dragon sword in his hand danced without restraint as he blocked the moves of the spider perfectly.
Metal screeched against metal, and the beast gnashed his fangs in anger.
Liam's movements were even better and more refined now compared to before. It was just a day, and the difference was visible.
Helikatos had no choice but to accept the superior abilities of the human being in front of him. He was developing at an incredible pace, and if he were not careful, he would end up becoming a stepping stone to this human being.
Soon, each and every swing of Liam's sword started becoming engulfed in a fiery aura. This made the spider even worse for the wear. It became more difficult to remain aggressive and hold his upper hand.
Who was the aggressor here, and who was the defender here? It took less than a second for everything to become murky. The spider roared in anger and humiliation.
Helikatos refused to believe that a mere human being could push him back, especially when he was blessed by the blood god.
Roar! He pulled his head back to start attacking Liam even more aggressively.
However, instead of getting overwhelmed, Liam only grinned. "I guess it's time that I stopped messing around?"
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Just as Helikatos suddenly felt as if something were terribly wrong, Liam opened his mouth again and calmly muttered under his breath. "Come out."
The next instant, he activated the newest skill he had obtained.
