Chapter 219: S-Rank!

-----

A-Rank Hunters were already seen as the elite of the world of the apocalypse.

However, S-Rank Hunters were beyond this, seen internationally as one of the strongest people in the world, there were only a few per Sector, usually not being over 20 within thousands of people.

S-Rank Hunters possessed all kinds of unique abilities, due to their rareness, only those gifted with great powers were the ones that had reached such a Rank quickly, those that had not been given powerful abilities from the start that had reached S-Rank were very rare.

Much like Fernand Firebrand's brother, who had an amazing unique Ability, many other S-Rank Hunters were within this Realm of uniqueness.

Noah, however, despite the achievement he had gotten, thought of this as definitely not enough.

S-Ranks were the pinnacle of the world, but there were also SS-Rank, and the presumed SSS-Rank Hunter.

There was clearly more to attain, even more with the new Gate beyond SSS-Rank that had emerged in the middle of Central America, next to the former territory that was Mexico before the Apocalypse, now covered by large jungles filled with mutated beasts and wild subhumans.

To Noah, this was a mere and small step to become even stronger, so it was nothing to glorify about.

Without further ado, Noah touched the pile of Attribute Value Cores ad absorbed them while sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes.

All the cores turned into red energy that flew into his entire body, enhancing his body to even greater degrees. It felt like a warm wave of power that surged all over his body, there was no place where it missed, it was constantly flowing everywhere inside of him.

FLASH!

Noah's felt his muscles enhance, his bones strengthen, his entire body was evolving to a greater existence, a greater level of superhuman!

A feeling of exhilaration and ecstasy like nothing he had ever felt rushed through his body, Noah gritted his teeth and resisted it until the energies finally settled down. He had made sure to also make the energies flow through his body quickly, reaching his Blood Core for an extra boost.

The moment Noah opened his eyes they flashed with bright crimson-red light, as his entire body exuded a natural aura now, an aura of red color, without him even doing anything.

This was… the natural and pressuring aura of an S-Rank Hunter, enough to make anyone below them terrified.

Noah quickly checked his own Status Panel as a smile blossomed within his lips.



[Noah Luna Noctem]

[Class(es): Warlock (I)]

[Patron(s): Bloodshot Eye]

[Mind: 2460 (S)]

[Force: 2500 (S)]

[Skill Points: 11000]



"Good…"

Noah noticed that his stat had increased a bit over 2400, this was due to his special technique where he didn't even let the energies of the attribute value cores go to waste, refining the "residual" energy left ad fusing it with his Blood Core, gaining a few bonus stats.

Additionally, it seemed that now the System showed the Rank each of his Stats was.

Noah didn't have much time to rejoice, so he immediately wanted to evolve, which the System quickly answered his call.

Ding!

[Requirements for Evolution Achieved]

[Evolve into [Level V: Noble-Born Vampire Virtuous Marquis]?]

<Yes> <No>

"Of course, who would even choose not to?" wondered Noah, as he tapped the <Yes> option with his index finger and his body was suddenly enveloped with a cocoon of blood.

Just after having upgraded his body with the Attribute Value Cores of Rank A, Noah now completely began to melt his entire body within the cocoon, reforming himself from his bare-bones as the magical properties of this mystical evolution began to destroy his very being and then reform it from the puddle of melted flesh that he had become.

It was an arduous, horrifying pain, but Noah endured it by putting his mind into his soul and managed to stay awake through the whole ordeal, which seemed like an eternity, but it was no less than 10 minutes.

The blood cocoon dissipated into ashes as the new Noah emerged, even more, shiny and malicious than before, his entire aura resonated with power and domineering authority, although his appearance had truly not changed much, he had definitely changed in other means, he truly exuded the air of someone strong, definitely strong.

"What a wonderful feeling of greatness… No, I have to not indulge in this, there is a long path for me to go through, this is definitely not over yet…" through Noah while gripping his fists, he couldn't let himself be happy with the greatness he had achieved, there was a long way to go.

Noah had developed into a hardworking and proactive man, he never sat down in one place for too long without doing something to keep working through his path to achieve his dreams, getting here was but a step, and although he felt happy from the deep of his heart, he needed to keep going, he needed to keep struggling, and he needed to keep firmly glancing straight into the path he was walking into, with blazing resolve.

After this, Noah decided to absorb a large pile of Ability Cores, which were divided for everyone in the group (that could use them), there was a large pile of items for him, which he decided to use right away to gain a few thousand of Skill Points.

He could perfectly use them to get many Skills, but they were all random Skills, and there could be a lot of garbage within it with barely anything of use for someone like him, for the moment, until he could achieve something like Skill Fusion, he simply decided to keep specializing on his Skill Tree and convert these Ability Cores into Skill Points!

All the Cores converted into particles of light and fused with Noah, the particles of light directly flowed into his Ability Core, giving him a new surge of energy, which transformed into Skill Points.

Noah consumed hundreds, and they were all A-Rank, so the number of Skill Points he acquired right away was rather ridiculous.

Ding!

[You gained +85000 Skill Points!]

"So many…!" thought Noah as he released a malicious smile, his arms rising triumphantly.

With this and the addition of the Skill Points he already had, Noah had a whopping 96000 Skill Points ready to be used!

He couldn't help but wonder what kind of Skills could emerge in the new Skill Tree and even considered maxing out both the new one and the Warlock Skill Tree once and for all.

Noah quickly decided to check his new Skill Tree, finding a lot of new Skills to take.
