Landlord World - Start with SSS talent-Chapter 95: Rank E Landlord

[Ding! Would you like to pay 500 F-rank crystals to evolve to Lord rank?]

"Agree!"

[Ding! Evolution process beginning.]

Suddenly, Noan felt something extremely strange happening to his body.

Vylyss, noticing the change, did not disturb him. Instead, she immediately soared into the sky, raising both hands.

At that moment, a protective dome formed from darkness instantly enveloped Noan’s entire domain.

Noan’s body was undergoing an inexplicable transformation—more precisely, it was glowing.

His body radiated a blinding light while countless energy streams from the surroundings surged into him as if he were a black hole.

Noan felt no discomfort. On the contrary, he felt as if he were soaking in a hot spring, with every cell in his body in utter relaxation.

He could also sense a surge of magical energy flooding him, significantly expanding his energy reserves.

The light emanating from his body shot up like a pillar into the sky.

Fortunately, Vylyss’s shadow dome shielded the area, preventing anyone from witnessing what was happening inside.

Zhisse, who was happily weaving fabric in the distance, immediately took notice of Noan. Its front legs twitched excitedly as though brimming with joy.

The second Zhisse, however, had an entirely different reaction. She stared in disbelief at the unfolding scene.

’Impossible!’ The second Zhisse’s mind reeled. ’Is he… evolving? That’s not possible! This can’t be happening!’

Zhisse felt as though her entire understanding of the world had been upended. How could a human evolve their innate talent?

Only monsters could evolve their natural abilities, and even then, it was an exceedingly rare occurrence, requiring vast amounts of resources—incredibly scarce.

Some of these materials only emerged once every hundred years.

Others took millennia to appear.

That was precisely why monsters could rely on these rare resources to evolve.

However, humans were different. They couldn’t evolve using resources because they relied on summoning and commanding monsters to fight on their behalf.

This was the balance of Nature.

There were rare cases where humans could evolve their rank, but such occurrences were so infrequent that they were almost nonexistent.

Moreover, the conditions for human evolution were even harsher than those for monsters.

If humans could evolve their rank as easily as monsters, then this world would have fallen completely under their control.

Zhisse was certain that Noan possessed no materials capable of helping him evolve his rank.

’Could it be… he’s using his innate talent?’ Zhisse recalled Noan’s unique ability—his talent allowed him to fuse monsters to create higher-ranking creatures.

She remained silent, observing what Noan had done to achieve his evolution.

At that moment, the 500 F-rank energy crystals surrounding him gradually crumbled into dust as every last ounce of energy within them was absorbed by Noan.

The radiant pillar of light emitted from his body slowly dimmed before disappearing entirely.

Noan stood still, savouring the surge of power coursing through him.

Suddenly, he raised his hand. Abyss Cube transformed into a firearm, seamlessly connecting its components to his arm.

A loud explosion followed.

BAM!

A streak of light shot out from the gun’s barrel, moving with the speed of a bullet, leaving behind a brilliant trail in its wake.

The beam of light surged beyond Noan’s domain, ascending into the sky before vanishing.

Noan nodded in satisfaction.

His strength had increased once again—not just his physical power, but his magical energy had also expanded significantly.

If before, his magic reserves were like a small puddle, then now, they had become a small pond.

What he had just tested was Silk Bullet. Of course, with his heightened physical and magical power, combined with the support of Abyss Cube, the attack had grown even more formidable.

Now, his Silk Bullet had truly become a projectile. Though it still wasn’t strong enough to kill a D-rank monster, it could now injure one at the very least.

[Ding! Congratulations on successfully evolving to Lord rank, reaching rank E.]

[Ding! Your talent ’Almighty Fusion’ has gained a new function. Please check your status panel for details.]

[Ding! The Skeleton you summon daily is now guaranteed to be rank E.]

Seeing that his talent had gained a new function, Noan was overjoyed and immediately opened his personal status panel.

…

Description 1: You can fuse three soldiers of the same rank to create a higher-rank soldier. Description 2: You can use multiple high-rank soldiers to increase the rank of a hero you have summoned. Description 3: Any soldier or hero that has undergone ’Fusion’ will receive the ’Evolution’ mark.

’Evolution’ Mark: When soldiers or heroes receive this mark, their abilities increase by 10%.

The more soldiers and heroes possessing the ’Evolution’ mark, the stronger the lord will become.

Description 4: You can utilize leftover materials from fusion to enhance the strength of other monsters. Description 5: You can merge all skills you possess to create a higher-tier skill.

…

Noan’s eyes lit up excitedly when he saw the new function under ’Description 5.’ He had lacked a truly powerful skill, and now this function had appeared at just the right time.

He had always inherited a fraction of the power from the monsters he fused, but it was only a minuscule amount.

It was like comparing a grade-schooler to a university student—the enormous gap.

That was why this new function of ’Almighty Fusion’ felt like an oasis in the desert for someone like him.

Without hesitation, he commanded, "I want to fuse all the skills I currently have."

After all, none of his current skills were overwhelmingly powerful, so he wanted to create a highly effective and versatile skill.

[Ding! To fuse all your existing skills, you must consume 1,000 F-rank crystals.]

Seeing the notification, Noan let out a sigh. He would put the skill fusion on hold for now—there was no rush.

What excited him even more was that the soldiers he summoned daily would now be guaranteed to be ranked E. That was another significant step forward.

This meant that he could create several D+ rank Skeletons every day, and the probability of summoning mutant Skeletons would also increase.

Noan nodded in satisfaction.

He had already been the strongest lord in this region, but now that he had reached rank E, even if all the lords in the area joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to defeat him.

No—defeating him wasn’t even an option.

As long as the protective barrier around his domain remained intact, no one in this region could even launch an attack against him.

At this moment, Noan felt almost secure. Of course, he still maintained his usual cautious approach to everything.

Moreover, he grew stronger with each passing day.

Even if the increase was small, as long as he continued improving daily—especially since he could now evolve his lord rank—it was only a matter of time before he became truly invincible.

The only question was whether he had enough time to develop his full potential.

"Master!"

Vylyss suddenly hugged him from behind, her voice dripping sweetness and excitement.

"Congratulations on evolving successfully. Hehehe…"

Krit! Krit!

Zhisse suddenly appeared, crawling onto Noan’s shoulder, its eight legs moving rapidly as if dancing.

Seeing them so cheerful, Noan felt even happier. Life wasn’t so bad after all.

But once the moment of joy passed, he knew he couldn’t afford to be arrogant. He immediately asked, "Vylyss, can you wipe out all the zombies outside the Food Forest yourself?"

Vylyss tilted her head and replied, "I can, Master. However, I will need many energy crystals to sustain the battle. Although those zombies aren’t strong, their sheer numbers are overwhelming. That’s why I’ll need a lot of energy to fight until the end."

"Master!"

Malrik suddenly approached him, excitement radiating from his face. He swung his arms wildly as if overwhelmed with enthusiasm.

"I! I alone am enough to annihilate them all!"

"Master, trust me! In the name of darkness and shadow, I shall—"

"Enough! Enough!"

Noan clutched his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

However, Malrik’s words made him suspicious. "You’re saying… you can exterminate all of those zombies?"

"Kekekeke…" Malrik chuckled darkly before speaking.

"Master, if you help me evolve to rank D, I guarantee that you will be safe as long as a B-rank monster doesn’t show up."
