Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System!

The system's notification rang in Roy's mind.

『The special effect of your level-1 Energy Swallowing Whale Sky-Grade Physique are as follow』

『You can't hold more than 4000 wisps of mana in your body.』

『You can store no more than 30000 units of aura in your body.』

『You can breathe in 5000 wisps of mana and 50000 units of world's energy from your surroundings in a single second.』

『The Aura you absorb this way will be colorless and have no special effects.』

"Not only is the name of my Sky-Grade Physique epic, but its effects are also terrific."

Roy immediately put it to the test.

He could instantly suck in 5000 wisps and 50000 units of Mana and Aura, respectively. However, his mana sea and body only had the capacity to store 4000 wisps of mana and 30000 units of aura. Trying to absorb any more than that would, at best, damage him and, at worst, explode him. That's why by using the special effect of his sky-grade physique, he filled his body with only that much amount of aura and mana.

The world's energy was automatically refined into aura once it passed through his opened aura gate. However, it was a colorless one. He wouldn't be able to sing the third song with such an aura. Black aura was needed to cast the third song. Thus, Roy used his meditation to convert the colorless aura into black aura.

'Whether meditating or fighting, I have gained the ability to absorb the world's energy and mana constantly. I will never run dry of energies unless my surroundings are left with not a drop of them.' Roy concluded that that's the greatest change his new physique brought him.

He also created and stored a considerable amount of black lightning currents in his blood vessels before transforming into a ghost and continuing his journey in the ancestral lands.

The corridor's only company was the perpetuity of silence.

All its original inhabitants were killed while Roy traveled out of it in his ghost form, making no sound and existing like he didn't exist.

At the end of the corridor was a set of double doors made of oak that were decorated with the carvings of twisted tree branches and falling waves.

Roy appeared there and scrutinized them, finding nothing special about them, save for the fact that they were coated in Force.

Even though these doors radiated warmness that touched his heart, he felt kinda uneasy about going through them and thus stopped just outside them.

"Hiss!"

The next second, he heard hissing voices behind that door.

These hisses sounded like something snakes would make, and thus, Roy concluded that were many snake-like monsters inside, and they weren't trying to keep quiet at all.

He stood in the corridor for a few seconds and worked up the nerve to go through them.

Bam!

His eyes and facial expressions hardened as he kicked open the doors.

Swoosh!

A streak of white light shot towards him like an arrow, glinting and emanating the iciness of an iceberg.

He dodged it with a single, casual step to the side.

It moved past him, missing him by six inches, but Roy didn't miss it, letting its flight come to an immediate end by jabbing his arrow-force-infused forefinger into its side.

It was skewered to his finger, stopping in mid-air.

Roy took a closer look at it, realizing it was a level 18 White-blooded Snake. It was a poisonous creature. Its body brimmed with soul-numbing poison. If an ordinary person were to be bitten by it, they would freeze to death in 3 minutes. Even a trainee or a peak-level Weapon Master would lose their life if they failed to detoxify themselves of it.

"What a disgusting creature," Roy muttered under his threat.

"Hiss." It eyed Roy dangerously, hissing weakly as it bled profusely.

Roy glared back at it, saying not a word, just striking it to death.

Boom!

Black aura pulsated out of the finger he had jammed into it, inflating its body so much that it exploded.

...

Beyond the oak doors that Roy had opened was a large chamber.

It was a ridiculously large, rectangular room with a vaulted ceiling. It was meant to host dragons, not tiny little humans.

The walls here were decorated with tapestries of dragons spewing out fire.

Surprisingly enough, the fire appeared life-like.

It wasn't hot enough to burn but bright enough to illuminate the entire place and even that spot of the corridor where Roy was standing.

An egg was in the center of it.

It was 4-meter tall, gilded with silver, and surrounded by snakes who hissed incessantly.

Roy's vigilance was raised to the maximum at the sight of the sea made of small and big white snakes with yellow spots inside it, but when he inspected them and realized they weren't as strong as they seemed, his heartbeat returned to normal, and he passed through the doors, stepping into the chamber.

Four steps behind him was a gruesome sight. Flesh, blood, and the organs of a snake could be seen painting the walls, ceiling, and the red carpet of the corridor.

The smell of blood and the sound of the explosion didn't escape the snakes' ears.

Hundreds of snakes turned to him immediately.

Their eyes met.

To their monstrous eyes that were seething with cruelty, he was but a meal, and in his eyes, they were dead corpses.

The look in the snake's eyes irked Roy and vice versa.

Swoosh!

Hundreds of snakes, glinting blindingly and surrounded by an ominous air, shot towards Roy.

"Boom!" Roy punched out, and waves of darkness crackling with lightning surged out of his palm and met the snakes in mid-air, exploding them all

The snakes: "....x."

Roy: "Shit, I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"

Exactly who was the monster between Roy and the snakes?

It was definitely all of them.

It's just that Roy was a bigger monster than them, and in the world of monsters, the biggest monster gets to prey on the less inferior ones and decides their life and death.

Once they latch onto what they consider their prey, they do not let go until one side dies!
