Chapter 397 - Learning The Truth

-----

The domain around them dissipated into black light as the assassins were taken down rather swiftly, the hard work of the children was outstanding and to be expected of the descendants of such powerful Vampires.

Dante, Eleanora, Alice, Adan, and Crimson all showed outstanding moves that defied common sense a bit, these kids were way too strong, to the point that even these assassins felt fear against babies.

Nonetheless, when they transformed into gigantic monsters, the kids had a hard time fighting against them, nonetheless, they showed up their true power and some even awakened new abilities by pushing themselves against their very limits. The kids gained unprecedented abilities this time around, and became true prodigies of their elemental divinities.

Even then, it was an intense battlefield and Noah experienced what was fighting but a fragment of a Dragon God. Although he was still absurdly strong and defeated it, he didn't do it without some hardships. He found it to be a hard fight at the end, as he had to spend almost all of his divine energy to defeat Nattannia completely.

After that, he ate her soul alongside that of the other Assassins, learning a bit about their past through their memories, and also…

FLASH!

The powerful being within these souls was devoured by Noah's monstrous stomach, it tried to fight back, but it was ultimately eaten, his power enhanced Noah's power, as Noah suddenly gained something strange!

D i n g!

[You acquired the [Divinity Fragment of Parasitism]!]

"Divinity Fragment?"

A Divinity Fragment was a piece of a divinity, obviously. And this was what these assassins had inside their souls!

Noah experienced a sudden increased on his stats as he ate these delicious fragments. He acquired a fragment of a divinity, carrying but a small part of the true effects of a true divinity.

"So Gods are capable of sharing divinities through divinity fragments! This was something I was completely unaware of." Said Noah.

And the thing he realized the most was… this god had the strange and most bizarre divinity he had yet to see!

Noah always thought that divinities were related with elements or something, but what kind of element was the divinity of parasitism about? It was the strangest he had ever seen until now.

Nonetheless, he acquired a part of its power.

"So the God that sent them here had such a power. But… I cannot see anything much, the memories of these fragments of this god are completely empty, he destroyed them before I could get them? So he knew I could devour divinities?" wondered Noah, feeling shocked!

"Hmmm… Maybe he doesn't know, but he knows that in this world there are methods to do that, so he deleted them before you killed Nattannia?" asked Iris.

"That's… quite a possibility. Yes. I suppose that might be the case. Nevertheless. This was shocking and quite impressive. I had never thought such things could be done. Indeed, this was a fruitful day for us… Now, let's browse through the memories…"

The children were done with their meals, as they quickly jumped back to bed, uncaring of what adults were talking about, they cuddled over the soft beds and slept quickly.

Meanwhile, Noah received a blast of essence as his Class leveled up.

Ding!

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 30 to Level 31!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 31 to Level 32!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 32 to Level 33!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 33 to Level 34!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 34 to Level 35!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 35 to Level 36!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 36 to Level 37!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 37 to Level 38!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 38 to Level 39!]

[The Level of your Class has increased from Level 39 to Level 40!]

[Class Level Cap reached; you can now change Classes again!]

[All your Stats have increased]

[The power of all Class-related Skills has increased]

[You gained Attribute Particles related to your Class]

Noah was showered with System notifications as he saw his level quickly rise to cap in an instant, the powerful essence he got from eating these fragments was impressive, enough to nourish his soul well enough to acquire such amazing power! He was completely fascinated by the power he acquired, looking at his own hands with a crazed look.

However, this was not the time yet to change Classes.

"I believe I got something important form their memories. Apparently, they were kids from this Kingdom's suburbs that were recruited by a strange religion-based sect that prays to a God they named Gergesh… I believe this bastard could be the parasite." Said Noah.

"Oh… But how could they just happily handle these fragments of divinity?" asked Iris.

"I don't know how he does it, but it apparently is easy for him to share his power through this way. Those that join his underground sect mostly become assassins, thieves, bandits, and anything of the sort. Their sole work seems to be related with disturbing this Kingdom's prosperity. They even sell potions that enhance power momentarily and cause addiction, an effective drug." Said Noah.

"Interesting… you're saying that this god is more like a gangster or something? This is a bit hilarious… W-Well, this is the first world where we get to find so many Gods roaming everywhere, so I guess some may be reduced to this." said Arthur.

"I believe so, he really acts like some kind of mafia boss, and acts cocky rather easily too. He's dead set on killing me. Most likely he felt my presence…" said Noah.

"But even then, it doesn't make sense… Why is he so obsessed if you have not done anything to him, Noah-sama?" asked Clementina.
