n'Ding,

nThe sovereign shop has updated the items. Please check them out.

nWhile Lucas was busy increasing his experience points in his short sword mastery, he received a system notification in his head that gave him a pleasant surprise.

n'I hope there are some good items that could be useful in my current situation.'

nLucas stopped slashing at the two evil spirit beasts struck in the portal and hurriedly opened the sovereign shop.

n'Ding,

nLevel 1 Sovereign shop.

n1) Basic Magic wand - 10 sovereign points.

n2) A pair of rank 3 short swords - 2 x 100 sovereign points.

n3) A random rank 3 talisman - 100 sovereign points.

n'Ding,

nCurrently, the host has 220 sovereign points.

n'Just what I needed the most.'

nLucas was happy when he saw the second item in this week's items of the sovereign shop.

n'Since I have enough sovereign points, I will just buy it off.'

nWithout any hesitation, Lucas kept the single short sword into his inventory before buying a pair of rank 3 short swords from the shop.

n'Ding,

n200 sovereign points are deducted and a pair of short swords are sent to the host's inventory.

nThere was a confirmation notification from the system as he took out his brand new weapons.

n'Slash'

nThe two short swords in his hands emitted a hint of blue light when he casually slashed the air.

n'Sharp, light and cool.'

nLucas defined the short swords in three words as he looked at the three evil beasts and started slashing them.

n'Slash'

n'Slash'

n'Ding,

nThe host slashed an evil spirit beast perfectly.

n10 experience points gained.

n'What? 10 experience points?'

nLucas was shocked when he saw the number of experience points he gained from a simple slash and soon, he became excited.

n'Looks like I can become the lesser knight today.'

nFinally, Lucas skillfully used the two rank 3 short swords in his hands as he slashed them in various places.

nBecause he didn't want them to die before he became a Lesser knight.

n'Ding,

nThe host slashed an evil spirit beast perfectly.

n10 experience points gained.

n'Ding,

nThe host slashed an evil spirit beast perfectly.

n8 experience points gained.

n'Ding,

nThe host slashed an evil spirit beast perfectly.

n12 experience points gained.

n.

n.

n.

nThe experience points were random; however, compared to his single short sword, what he was getting now was very huge.

n'Ding,

nThe host's short sword mastery has reached (1000

/1000)

nWithout many surprises, after less than a hundred slashed with his new rank 3 short swords, Lucas' experience points reached the maximum level.

n'Ding,

nThe host had reached the perfect stage in the short sword mastery and all his attacks with the short sword will have a 10 percent additional damage to the opponents.

n'Ding,

nThe host has reached a quasi lesser knight rank. Please kill a chosen beast to gain a knight's skill and become a true tier 1 lesser knight.

n'Finally, I have become the quasi lesser knight.'

nLucas slowly backed off as he let the two evil spirit beasts recover and muttered to himself.

nWhen a high-level squire's weapon mastery reaches the perfect stage, they have to kill a rank 3 spirit beast to officially enter the lesser knight.

nNot only will they become a lesser knight, but they would also gain a knight's skill that was modified from the skills of the beast killed by the high-level squire.

nIt is the same for Assassins; however, Mages don't have to go through this process as they could learn spells that were similar to skills.

nMoreover, a lesser knight could start learning the secret techniques that could make them fight Mages without much difficulty.

n'I think I can now have the ability to kill the rank 3 evil spirit beasts.'

nLucas felt the current situation is not dangerous any more as he sat with the two girls and waited for the spirit beasts to come out of the portal.

n

"Young Master, you became a quasi lesser knight already?

"

nWith the help of the system, Beck could sense that Lucas' strength had increased yet again and asked him with a surprised look on her face.

n

"Yeah.

"

nLucas nodded his head with a slight smile on his face as he continued,

"Once they come out of the portal, you two stall one evil spirit beast. As for the other one, I will take care of it.

"

n

"I will do as you say, young master.

"

nBeck nodded her head and decided to believe her young master that the situation is under control.

nLuna looked at them and remained silent while thinking who knows what in her head.

nAfter an hour or so, the two evil spirit beasts calmed down a little.

nUntil now, they were both furious and just wanted to come out of the portal first; however, with time, their meaningless anger also disappeared as one of the evil spirit beasts backed out.

n

"Everyone, get ready. You take the smaller one. I will go for the big one. Also, watch out for those spikes.

"

nSeeing that, Lucas and others became alert as Lucas gave an order to the two girls before rushing to the slightly bigger evil spirit beast.

n'Swoosh'

n'Slash'

nLucas ran in a zig-zag movement which confused the evil spirit beasts and before it could notice what was happening, Lucas was already beside it as he made a deep cut.

n'Take this too.'

nLucas didn't bother with the system notification in his head as he continued to make more and more cuts which were deep.

n'Roar'

nThe evil spirit beast became furious as the sleeping spikes on its back started rising slowly.

n

"Do you think I will give you the chance to use that attack?

"

nLucas was keeping an eye on the spikes all the time as he increased his slashing speed even more.

nMoreover, his 10 percent additional damage because of his perfect stage mastery in the short swords made the cuts even more severely.

nSoon, the rank 3 evil spirit beast was covered by black blood.

n'Time to end this.'

nEven though Lucas was making cuts all over its body to confuse the evil spirit beast, his continuous slashes made very deep cuts in various places of the evil spirit beast.

n'Puchi'

nAnd one of them was the evil spirit beast's head and Lucas pierced his two short swords into its head.

n'Ding,

nCongratulations to the host for killing a rank 3 evil spirit beast.

nGained 10 sovereign points.

n'Nice.'

nLucas revealed a slight smile on his face as he rushed towards the other evil spirit beasts which were in a stalemate.

nCurrently, the weakened white lion and the netherworld's spider were stopping the evil spirit beast from using its spike attack. Whereas Luna and Beck were using some spells from the back to cause some damage.

nHowever, they only have one intermediate spell and it costs a huge magic power which they already used when the fight started.

nSo, they could only use the basic spell to hold the evil spirit beast.

n

"You can relax, I will take care of it.

"

nLucas appeared beside the evil spirit beast and without waiting for anyone's reply, he made a long and deep cut on the evil spirit beast.

nWith the appearance of Lucas, both girls heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed.

nIn front of their eyes, within no time, Lucas killed the rank 3 evil spirit beast.

n'He is first and his attacks seem random; however, they are not.'

n'He is finding a weak spot...no, he is making his own weak spots on the spirit beast's body.'

n'Looks like the young master is hiding his strength all along.'

n'And the destruction of the Hellmore family made it hard for him to hide his strength anymore.'

nBoth Beck and Luna silently thought to themselves and looked at Lucas in a new light.

nCompared to Luna, Beck was getting more and more shocked; however, thinking of the destruction of the Hellmore family, Beck stopped thinking as she knew how certain events change the personalities of the people.

n'I promised my parents to take care of the young master; however, he is protecting me even when I have a powerful entity called 'System'. I need to become stronger.'

nBeck clenched her fists and her urge to become stronger had reached another level.
