Idle Money System - Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 62
Holding his sword tightly, Alexander slowly turned his head, his gaze was sharper than any blade at this moment, it was burning with a crimson glow that radiated like a deadly flame.

The sheer killing intent emanating from him swept across the battlefield like a violent storm, crashing into everything in its path. Even the villagers watching from a distance weren’t spared either, their bodies were trembling under the might of his pressure.

They gasped for air, feeling as though they were being crushed by a boulder, despite knowing the wrath wasn’t directed at them. In their eyes, Alexander appeared more like a vengeful god than a young man.

He was unaware of the devastation his raw killing intent could inflict on the weak. His mind was singularly focused on the beast before him, a towering werebear with muscles like steel and claws that could rend boulders.

Its monstrous roar shook the air, but Alexander’s cold expression remained unmoved.

“Prepare to die,” Alexander growled, his voice laced with a chilling tone.

His heart pounded in his chest like a war drum, his blood boiling with the thrill of pure rage.

Despite the wild torrent of emotions surging through him, he was amazed at his ability to remain clear-headed. Even if both of his skill [Berserker Instinct] and [Bloodlust] were activated, yet his thoughts remained so clear.

Without warning, he spun his sword in a blur the sword glinted in red light, and in the next breath, he vanished. His speed now was beyond anything he had known before, it had already surpassed his previous limits.

What once felt like the swiftness of a cheetah hunting its prey was now something much deadlier, he was like a predator amongst slumbering prey. The beasts scattered across the battlefield stood no chance.

A bunch of notification bombarded him, but he decided to mute this since it was very annoying.

Each time Alexander reappeared, his blade was drenched in blood, every time he left those pools of blood was the markings of his every strike.

The beasts were affected this time as they were greatly slowed when they reached the area which his aura was covering. One by one, they fell, dismembered, and slain they were like insects in the face of a powerful beast.

Then a massive wolf lunged at him from the side, its fangs bared, but Alexander sidestepped effortlessly, his sword flashing as he cut through its body like a knife through paper.

Blood sprayed in a wide arc as the beast crumpled to the ground in pieces. Without stopping, Alexander leaped forward, his eyes locking onto his next target.

A boar charging at him with tusks as thick as tree trunks. He didn’t flinch. With a swift flick of his wrist, his blade sliced clean through its skull, halting its advance in an instant. The beast toppled, its eyes already dull as its lifeblood pooled beneath it.

The sword in his hand trembled, seemingly excited. It was thrilled to be used to slay its enemies and being bathed in the blood of the beasts.

The sword glowed even redder as it absorbed the blood, and Alexander felt his power growing stronger with each kill. He knew this was the unique passive of the sword Infernal Fury, the blade was being fueled by blood.

The werebear, watching the slaughter unfold, roared in rage and charged, its massive claw aimed at Alexander’s back. But Alexander was faster.

In just a blink of an eye, he appeared right in front of the beast, his eyes glowing with a dangerous light.

The werebear’s claw descended with terrifying force, but it met only air. Alexander had vanished again, his sword was a blur image as it cut clean through the Werebear’s arm.

*pluck

As it dropped in the ground, the beast howled in agony, its severed limb hitting the ground with a sickening thud. Blood gushed from the wound like a river, but the werebear had no time to react no more.

Alexander then reappeared behind it, and in a single fluid motion, his blade sliced through the beast’s back. The werebear’s enormous body convulsed as it was hacked into pieces in just a second, its flesh and bones scattered across the blood-soaked battlefield.

Alexander stood amidst the carnage, his sword dripping with the blood of his enemies. The air was thick with the scent of blood and death, yet his expression remained cold and detached.

The villagers were all swallowing their breaths, looking at this with pale faces. It was so gruesome, a scene of pure mass destruction, whenever they saw the young man appear.

It was as if every beast who met him met their end without struggling at all. His sword Infernal Fury was constantly absorbing the blood in its possession, strengthening Alexander by 40%, which is a huge boost.

Above the tree, far from both the villagers and Alexander, two men in black suits looked at this with shocked faces. The power the young man they had fought yesterday was actually holding back his power.

“This, this! Big brother, this kid’s level is actually above Grandmaster. He must have already reached the Ascendant Stage. I think we’re no match for him,” the man in black suit spoke, truly terrified by what he was seeing.

The man who was Bernard looked at this with a frown on his face. He then shook his head and sneered.

“Don’t underestimate our strength, little brother. If a man and a beast fight while they’re at the same realm, the beast always wins. Since a human is still a human. While a beast is a beast.” He muttered, his breath was heavy with confidence.

“Don’t worry about it, since he’ll be at our feet sooner or later. Even though he’s strong, he’ll be no match for us,” he finished.

The other man in the black suit nodded, agreeing with his brother’s words.

“We’ll just let the kid do the work. Since he’s doing us the favor in powering up the blood gem for our own use. Hahaha!” he laughed maniacally.

The little brother also laughed, as his brother was very cunning in letting someone else do the job for him.

Alexander, who didn’t know he was being used like a puppet, didn’t even care. Since he was here to avenge Aeloria’s big brother, this was also good for him since his level would rise from this.

As the beasts circled the area, one of them slipped towards the gathering villagers. He just sneered and threw his sword, whistling through the air, hitting the boar on the forehead, instantly killing it.

He then tapped the ground with his foot, disappearing in a blur and reappearing where his sword was. He then went in circles, ensuring no villagers were hurt by the beasts that were appearing around them.

He didn’t stop as more waves of beasts came towards him. A Skyhawk even tried to snatch his head but was cut in two pieces. He then threw a barrage of sword strikes at every beast that came, their numbers were steadily decreasing.

Even if the flying creatures tried to attack the villagers, they couldn’t since he could just pick up a pebble and hit their fragile heads, instantly killing them.

Finally, the wave ended. As Alexander stood like a butcher in a pile of dead beasts, the air pungent with the smell of blood, which was incredibly foul. Their body parts were scattered everywhere.

Alexander’s mind was slowly being corrupted. Since he had been using his skill for almost 30 minutes, and the side effects of [Bloodlust] and [Berserker Instinct] were taking a toll on him.

He felt the urge to surrender to his berserker self, and let his mind slumber so it can do what ever it wants. If it wasn’t for his skill, ‘Heart of Stone’, he wasn’t sure if he could have stayed in that form for even 20 minutes.

But thanks to it, he could control it for about 30 minutes or more, before the effects intensified. He sighed in relief, realizing how useful this skill if its in a tight position.

[Bloodlust was deactivated]

[Berserker Instinct was deactivated]

The system prompted as his eyes returned to normal. He also stored his sword, Infernal Fury, in his system storage. The heavy killing aura that surrounded him disappeared like thin air being blown out.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breathed as he opened them yet again, he finally come back to his original self.

“System show me my status” Alexander said inwardly.

Looking at his stats, he was surprised. His level had actually risen by 3 levels! He was about to close the system panel when another panel appeared.

[Congratulations to the Host for reaching level 20. New function of the system is unlocked. The rewards will be shown after the Host completes the mission.]

The system stated, making him stunned. He wondered what the new function was since he had unlocked so many things already.

“Is it another money generator? I really hope it is. Since more generators mean more money,” he spoke inwardly, wishing for it to be something like that.
