Lucifer's Descendant System Chapter 248

(This chapter isn't edited yet)

*Bamf*

Noah burst into flames in front of all these people. When they started to wonder what this boy had done, a scream arose from behind them.

"Aaaaahhhhhh!!!!" A thin voice came out, completely startled.

Turning around with curiosity, they saw the youngest girl on the team, a 22-year-old girl who held a bat while wearing a white robe, was screaming as she felt the cold metal of Noah's armor as his index finger stretched and it touched her throat.

"I'm sorry, my finger usually causes that in women." Noah made a joke.

For Noah to make a joke with other people was really rare, but not impossible. With his first invasion team, the Rank E people, he felt a lot of freedom with those people who always treated him well, which made Noah feel a little familiar with that team as well.

"That...damn..." The bearded man said unconsciously.

Not only was he surprised, the other people were also freaked out by the way Noah disappeared in front of them and popped into the team's healer so easily. If this was an ambush, that girl would definitely be dead, and as she was the team's healer, this would cause a lot of problems for everyone, possibly costing everyone's survival without much difficulty.

But while everyone was scared, the young captain of the team was very excited. "Was that a spatial blessing?!"

"You can say yes." Noah replied as he walked away from the young healer.

"That's great, an assassin with a space blessing, it's literally a gift from the gods!" The captain said excitedly.

'Or the devil.' Noah thought.

"Okay, with that issue resolved, I don't think anyone else has any doubts about the strength of our new assassin, right?" The captain asked as he looked at each of the 12 remaining group members.

"I feel more comfortable knowing that this blade will be on our enemies' necks than ours." The bearded man said with a big smile.

"Fine, then we can invade the fortress without too much worry." The captain clapped his hands and began to explain the strategy they would use for the invasion.

As the 14 people discussed the strategy that would be used, there was one person who watched this with great surprise.

The official captain of the invasion, the blessed Rank B sent by the family to assess the team's performance and prevent a very big disaster from happening.

He had heard that there was a young boy with great potential from his friend, he had been talking about this boy with the other Rank B blesseds for a long time, to the point of creating doubts and expectations in the blessed others as well.

This man was pleasantly surprised when he found out that this boy would be on the team he would be evaluating today, but as high as expectations for this boy were, it couldn't be as high as having a spatial blessing.

Such a blessing in the hands of an assassin was like giving wings to a snake.

It is said that blessed with space blessings can usually fight head-on against blessed ones up a rank, which this man still didn't believe, but seeing this boy's potential he had to admit that this saying was true.

Unfortunately this boy was still only a B Rank C blessed, so as much as he had a spatial blessing, it would be hard to deal with a powerful B Rank blessed. Maybe dealing with weaker B-rank blesseds might even be possible, but that's about it. The gap in each Rank from C onwards was very large, and the more you got, the bigger it got.

Mainly because of essences, while a Rank C essence increased 0.1 point of one's stat, a Rank B essence had 5x more effect, directly increasing 0.5 points with a single essence, making each stronghold the distance between the two ranks. grow even more.

But this boy was young and had great potential, that was enough for him to have a great importance in the high management of the family.

'That old man... he must have purposely ignored the space blessing for us. He's probably already made a report about it and turned it over to the top management of the family before he's even bragging to us.' The man thought with a little disgust, as he laughed at his friend's childish attitude.

With all the strategy defined, the team entered the fortress at exactly 08:30 am.

First the bearded man entered, accompanied by the other warriors wearing heavy armor and shields, after the scout and assassin, and lastly the archers and mages.

When Noah walked through the portal, he easily noticed the strangeness of the place. Unlike the previous forts, this fortress was a dark forest, with dead trees and no leaves, bathed in a weak moonlight, leaving the vision very poor there.

But the weirdest thing about it was the big castle in the background. That castle was eerily familiar, vaguely reminiscent of older human buildings, made entirely of stone and with rustic details, something that made Noah a little suspicious.

To the point that he even wanted to go to that castle to investigate what it was. But when he commented on the castle to the captain, the young man gave an answer that shocked Noah.

"What castle?" he asked confused.

"That big castle above that hill." Noah said as he pointed.

"Hill? Can you see through this fog?" The captain asked even more confused than Noah.

"Fog? Is there any fog here?" Noah asked, even more confused than the captain.

"Can't you see this fog? We can't see almost anything in front of us." The captain replied while frowning.

"I don't really see any fog...ah, I think I know the answer to that. In my blessing I am familiar with the dark, something like my eyes are able to see things more easily in places like this." Noah answered the first excuse he could think of.

From what was happening, Noah could understand that apparently this fog was some kind of illusion the fortress was causing, but because of the system effect that kept Noah from being affected by illusions, he could see it clearly.

Of course, Noah wouldn't tell the others that he was immune to illusions, but that made Noah even more curious.

'It wasn't mentioned anywhere in the description of the fortress about a castle, maybe this is like the train where we found the dwarves?' Noah asked himself mentally.
