Chapter 751 Such Greedy System

Chapter 751 Such Greedy System

With each hit, I tried to assess the effect and recoil I’d feel. And I got nothing! I felt like I was holding a feather, hitting everything as if it was a fragile slime.

It felt amazing! Holding such a deadly baby in my arm and feeling zero pressure at all.

“I’m looking forward to adding lightning and fire effects to you,” I thought before I decided to delay such a show for later.

I wasn’t going to fight here anyway. I just needed to activate the other effects and get myself ready to finish that technique and call forth that bastard.

“I want to sacrifice one million souls and add a speed effect to my body,” I decided to use my body as the target of the speed effect.

I could add such an effect over myself, my items, or my ride. I didn’t use it over my chariot as it wasn’t needed right now. This wasn’t a big fight between me and an army, but a fight between me and that monster.

I thought about adding a speed effect to my glaive, but refrained from doing so. My glaive was already fast and light at the moment thanks to the strength effect.

Besides, I didn’t know what the effect of finalising this technique would be over my glaive..

So I selected to enhance my body, and again I was surrounded with the same ball of greyish energy and the old pain returned.

This time I was ready for it.

“Come,” I kept gritting my teeth while the influx of the sacrificed souls was going fiercely towards my body.

I was covered with the same greyish layer that once surrounded my arms, yet this time it was mostly focused over my legs.

At some point, I couldn’t stand up right, had to lean over my glaive to stand erect.

It took one hour again to consume the one million souls. And right after that, I felt nothing new about my body or legs.

“Let’s test it then,” I held my glaive tightly with my right hand, before thinking about running forward.

My speed already was subpar, with no equal in my friends. But when I tried to run, it felt like I was floating on air, not moving but directly flashing.

I looked behind and all I saw was a series of afterimages. That was damn cool! I was moving like the wind, even faster! Might be rivaling light itself!

How cool was this?

“Speed is done, now it’s time for defence,” I started to activate the defensive shield next, forming a semi-transparent greyish bubble around myself.

It didn’t look like much, only surrounding an area of close to a few tens of metres around me.

The weirdest thing was the healing effect. I chose to heal an area around me, ending up covering a distance of tens of miles with a green bubble.

The funniest thing was that my forces fighting all over the place near me were affected in this bubble. I could see lots of green wisps rising high in the air as a sign of too many getting too much healing effect.

[You got enough healing power to remain for one day] the system sent me this message before rapidly changing it after a few minutes. [You got less than ten hours to use healing effect]

.

Damn fierce! Healing such a large number of people in such a wide stretch was a pain! It exhausted the storage of my healing to change in a few minutes from a day down to a few hours!

That was insane!

Of course it wasn’t a surprise for the healing effect to be depleted in less than half an hour.

“Let me check the details again,” I didn’t like this! If every time I ended up losing the effect of healing then it meant losing one million souls! No, it was two!

“I can increase the area of effect… Can I also decrease it? System, I want to activate the healing again, this time I want to limit the area of healing to be a few tens of metres around me.”

[You can pay extra one million souls to have the area decreased to the area you desire]

[Do you want to do it?]

What other options did I have? “Fine, take one million extra souls, greedy system!”

[One million souls are deducted to activate the effect]

[One million souls are deducted to make the area range as desired]

[One million souls are sacrificed for the healing effect]

In just a few seconds I lost three million souls! It was three million souls! I knew I’d take hours to gather up such numbers, and I needed such a deadly war like the one I was having right now.

But being a tycoon had its perks as well. In just half an hour I used the same ability twice and paid even more than the first time without batting an eye!

This time the area of healing was almost close to the border of the defensive shield. And it didn’t reach any of the surrounding fighting forces.

[What did you just do? The boys are asking for the same green aura to come again!] And just before I’d do anything else, this message came from Lily.

“Aura? Humph! What do they take my healing effect for?” I laughed in such a powerless way. Did they think it was free cabbage or something?

[Tell them to focus on training, it was an undesired side effect of a technique of mine]

[I knew you were the one behind such a weird phenomenon! I felt refreshed and more energetic like never before!]

[Really?!!] I asked in doubt, [I never felt like this!]

[That’s because you aren’t stressed out or tired leading the armies here to train!]

[Ok, go and continue the hard work then] this girl… Was she trying to show off in front of me?

As I closed the chat with her, I was ready to start finishing the technique.

Of course there were two effects unused yet, the legendary resurrection one and the elemental magical effect.

I couldn’t risk using the resurrection for now. And the magic effect wouldn’t help in completing the technique.
