210 Chapter 210 Merit Points
When Bartrem finished cooking the food, Aldred quickly gave a burger, a kebab, and a steak to Krista.
All the food was too big for her, so Aldred cut them into small pieces. Aldred then blew the steak a bunch of times before stabbing it with a wooden fork.
“Try it,” Aldred said.
Krista nodded, and opened her mouth. Aldred fed her. The meat entered her mouth, and she began to chew.
“How is it?” Aldred asked.
“Delicious,” she said with a smile.
Aldred laughed. “It seems like Krista has the same taste as us.”
“That’s good,” Mary said. “We will be eating a lot of meat.”
Krista threw both hands into the air. “Meat!”
They all laughed at her actions, and she laughed back.
She then ate the burger and kebab to her hearts content. Eventually, she got so full that she couldn’t even stand up.
Aldred chuckled when he saw her sitting pitifully. “Let me help you.” He flicked his finger, and a small whirlwind lifted Krista up.
She was sitting on top of the whirlwind.
“I will bring you like this.”
Bartrem and the soldiers cleaned up the place. Even though this was a dungeon for monsters, sometimes people went here, and littering was a terrible habit to have.
“So where do we go now?” Mary asked.
“We’re going to war.”
Bartrem’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “War!”
His soldiers also roared out. “WAR!!!!”
“WAR!”
“WAR!”
“WAR!”
“WAR!”
“Alright, calm down,” Aldred said. “Why are you guys too excited for war?”
“We’re Ceraisian soldiers. Of course we have to be excited by war,” Bartrem said.
“Let’s sell all the monster’ parts and treasures first.”
They all walked out of the dungeon, and all the adventurers were staring at them.
“That’s the Death Lord! He just conquered the 10th floor!”
“Wow, really?”
“Even those in the top 10 merit ranking points couldn’t do that.”
“It’s obvious that he’s stronger than all of them combined. He even killed Bruce and turned him into an undead.”
“What a scary power. Worthy of the title Death Lord.”
“I heard he’s not only powerful, but wealthy as well. His first day in Hajduvar, he pulled out numerous treasures and bought himself millions of merit points, and access to the 10th floor.”
“Damn! And I think he’s charming too. Look at all the beautiful women surrounding him.”
“Fuck! He’s making me jealous.”
“Don’t be jealous of him. He’s too unreachable. Be jealous of someone realistic.”
“Like who.”
“Like that homeless man over there.”
“FUCK YOU!”
Aldred calmly walked the street, and then there was a man with a crazed expression.
“Rachel! Why are you with that man?!”
His shout caused a commotion, and all the adventurers backed off.
“That’s the number one in the merit ranking! Samson the Nightmare!”
“Is he really that legendary Samson? The ones who is said to be a nightmare for the dungeon monsters.”
“Not just to the monsters, but to the enemy adventurers as well. A few years ago, he defeated the number one Epolissa adventurer.”
“What is his power anyway?”
“It’s said to be his eyes. If he looks at you, you’re dead.”
Samson did not care what others said. In his eyes, there was only Rachel. But Rachel is currently hiding behind Aldred, and hugging his arm.
“Rachel! Answer me!”
Aldred sighed. “Can you shut up? She’s clearly rejected you because you look ugly.”
“I am not talking to you, weakling!” He glanced at Rachel. “Rachel! Come with me.”
“No,” Rachel replied. “I don’t want you.”
Aldred blinked. He didn’t know she was so direct.
Samson gritted his teeth. “It’s because of this bastard, isn’t it? I will kill him for you. After that, you will be mine.”
“What kind of logic is that?” Aldred asked. “If I kill you, will your mom be mine?”
“What did you say?” Samson glared at him.
“Exactly. That’s the kind of reaction you should expect when you say that. Also, do you have a sister as well?”
“You will die here!” Samson dashed forward, and raised both of his hands. Sharp claws came out, and he slashed at Aldred.
Aldred counter-attacked and punched forward.
Claws and fist met against each other, and the clash blew powerful wind in every direction.
Samson snorted and his eyes turned deep black before staring at Aldred. Aldred froze and could not move.
Samson smiled as dark energy wrapped Aldred from the feet up to the waist. He raised his claws and stabbed Aldred’s heart.
But suddenly, it wasn’t Aldred who was trapped, instead, it was him who was trapped in an earth spell where his whole body was buried except his head.
“What? How is this possible?! I got you with my spell.”
“You mean this spell?” Aldred showed his eyes turning deep black.
“You…” Samson stared with widened eyes. “How do you have the eye of a nightmare?”
“That’s because.” Aldred approached his ear, and whispered. “I am not gay.”
Samson widened his eyes.
And everyone else was shocked.
“What did he say to Samson?”
“I don’t know, but it has to be something profound and what the likes of us wouldn’t understand.”
“That makes me more curious. Just what in the hell did he say to Samson.”
“I will not kill you since I am not in the mood,” Aldred said.
“Really?”
“Nah, I am just kidding.”
“Fuck you!”
Aldred chuckled and used his blood manipulation spell to kill the man from the inside.
There was no wound, no scar, or pain, but the man lay there lifelessly.
When Aldred walked away, the adventurers approached the corpse.
“Haish, another legendary figure died in the hand of another.”
“If he was promoted to Platinum Rank, he would surely be more powerful than the average ones.”
“That’s without a doubt, but sadly, he threw away his life for a girl.”
“What a simp.”
“What did you say?”
“Nothing.”
…
Aldred walked to the adventurer’s inn, and then went to the back room to sell all of the treasures and monster’ parts that he found in the dungeon. He kept some that he thought was useful to himself.
After making all the people there stare with bulging eyes, Aldred received more than 30 million merit points.
“Let’s go buy ourselves a ship.”
