Magic System in a Parallel World-Chapter 196 Territory Control(2)
Chapter 196 Territory Control(2)
Within just half an hour of Leo and Lia's arrival to the battlefield, hundreds of monsters had been slain, which took the other Adventurers several days to achieve, and the progress for territory control had skyrocketed.
Soon, they started encountering B-Rank monsters, but that didn't stop or slow down Leo's progress, and he would use Void Spears to kill all of them with one hit.
"Hey, who is that couple? I want their names." One of the higher ups from the Adventurers' Guild asked for Leo and Lia's information since he doesn't recognize them.
"That young man is named Leon, he's a C-Rank Adventurer from Stellar City. As for that female with him, her identity is unknown. She didn't give us her ID."
"He's only a C-Rank Adventurer?! How is that possible? He's killing B-Rank monsters with Tier 2 magic spells!" The higher up was shocked when he learned this information.
"That young lady, too! Even though she's only using a magic rifle, she can kill B-Rank monsters with a single shot! That takes a tremendous amount of mana! At this rate, we'll finish the territory control in less than a week!"
The higher up's voice was filled with excitement, which was to be expected.
Meanwhile, inside the Scarlet Family's household, Edwin stood before a dozen people, "Have any of you found the Young Lady yet?"
"Not yet. However, we have received information that Leon had showed up again, and he's currently participating in a mission at the City of Tethoris."
"Leon? What bad timing. I would love to take care of him, but finding the Young Lady takes priority. He'll get to live a little longer." Edwin cursed in a spiteful voice.
"We can send someone to kill him for you," said one of the people there.
"That's a good idea, but I don't want you to kill him. Capture him. I want to take my time to slowly torture him." Edwin said in a grim voice.
"I understand."
Over the next several days, Leo and Lia would completely shock the Adventurers at the City of Tethoris with their performance during the territory control. In less than a week, they have killed several thousand monsters ranging from C-Rank to A-Rank just by themselves.
And even when facing A-Rank monsters, Leo confronted them with no fear, killing them all with ease.
In fact, they were killing monsters so fast that they started casting magic while on their hoverboards, which allowed them to travel the Wilderness much quicker.
"That was much easier than I had anticipated." Leo said after the Adventurers' Guild called an end to the mission.
"It would be weird if it wasn't easy, considering your current prowess." Lilith said.
Not only did Leo finish his 5,000 monster kill quest for 15,000 Magic Points, but because of his Magic Hunter passive skills, he was able to acquire Magic Points from killing monsters.
Each F-Rank monster gave him 1 Magic Point. E-Rank monsters gave him 2 Magic points. D-Rank monsters gave him 3 Magic Points. C-Rank monsters gave him 5 Magic Points. B-Rank monsters gave him 10 Magic Points, and A-Rank monsters gave him between 15 to 30 Magic Points.
Although it didn't give much, they added up, and by the end of the mission, Leo had acquired 23,000 additional Magic Points.
After acquiring a total of 38,000 Magic Points, Leo's total Magic Points returned to being over 100,000, which he used to purchase Increased Mana Regeneration from the Magic Shop.
<Confirm purchase 'Increase Mana Regeneration' for 100,000 Magic Points>
"Confirm."
<You have purchased 'Increase Mana Regeneration from the Magic Shop>
<Your Mana Regeneration has been increased by 20,000>
'20 thousand mana regeneration!' Leo nearly collapsed from bliss after seeing how much mana regeneration he gained.
He now had so much mana regeneration that he would completely recover his total mana pool of 175,000 from 0 in less than 10 seconds.
[Mana Regeneration: 21,325]
"Hey, Lilith, I got a surprise for you." Leo said to her as they made their way back to the tent.
"What is it?"
"I can increase the amount of mana I give you again. How does 5,000 mana every second sound?" He said to her with a grin on his face.
"F-Five thousand?!" Lilith exclaimed, her eyes flickering with excitement.
"Yes, I just upgraded my own mana regeneration, so I have plenty to spare." He nodded.
"I really cannot thank you enough for this, Leo!"
"Let's do this later."
"Okay!"
Sometime later, they returned to the camp, where the other Adventurers from the mission were gathered and awaiting their rewards.
When the Adventurers noticed Leo and Lia's presence, they all turned to look at them and started mumbling to each other.
"That's the power couple that swept through the monsters, right?"
"Yes. I heard that they could kill even A-Rank monsters with a single hit."
"What? That's impossible unless they're top A-Rank Adventurers! Why would they be wasting their time out here if they're that strong?"
"I saw that young man killing a B-Rank monster with a single Tier 2 spell."
"He also uses dark magic."
"Look at his partner. She's using a magic rifle. What an unusual pair."
The person running the whole operation showed up a minute later and gave a short speech.
"Thank you all for your effort. Because of you, our city has regained a good amount of territory, allowing us to expand our city even further!" A middle-aged man said to them.
"You will all be rewarded for your effort based on your contribution. Leave behind your watches and give us your name. You can pick up your rewards at the Adventurers' Guild within three days."
The Adventurers lined up to return their watches.
Once it was Leo's turn, the middle-aged man said to him, "Leon, right? Do you mind staying behind a bit after this? I would like to speak with you a little more."
"Sure." Leo nodded.
Lia handed over her watch after Leo.
"Can I see your ID?" The worker asked.
"You can give my portion of reward to Leon." Lia calmly said.
"If that's what you want…" The man nodded.
After all of the Adventurers there handed in their watch, they made their way back to the city.
Some of the Adventurers there wanted to start a conversation with Leo in hopes to become his friend, but they were all turned away by Lia's cold gaze that sent chills down their spine.
"Sorry for the way, Leon. Do you have any time after this? I would like to treat you two to dinner. Oh, my name is Aaron Lornson, and I am the vice-leader of the Adventurers' Guild for Tethoris. After seeing your performance, I was hoping to request for your help for another mission."
"Another mission? What kind?" Leo asked, his interest piqued.
"It's a Labyrinth mission. We recently found a B-Rank Labyrinth and formed a team to clear it, but at the last minute, one of their members died in an accident. We tried to replace that person but couldn't find anyone that qualified— until I met you. What do you think? We'll greatly compensate you for your time and effort."
'A Labyrinth, huh? I have been wanting to clear one for a while now.' Leo thought to himself.
He turned to look at Lia and asked her, "What do you think?"
"I will do whatever you decide," she calmly said.
"Then we'll do it." Leo nodded.
"Really?! Thank you! I will give you the details later! Come find me at the Tethoris' Delights at 7 PM tonight. I will treat you to the best restaurant in the city." Aaron said.
"Sure." Leo had no reason to refuse a free dinner.
"By the way, when is the Labyrinth raid?"
"It'll happen in two days."
"Alright, then I will see you later tonight."
Leo and Lia returned to the city shortly after.
"What should we do for the next two days?" Leo wondered out loud.
"Mana Drain." Lia immediately said.
"For two days straight…? Give me a break, please…"
After pondering for some time, Leo said, "Actually, I'm going to the Wilderness to practice my new summoning magic."
Naturally, it was actually more like feeding his new magic than anything.
"But first, we need to find a place to stay."
Leo took out his phone and began looking at nearby hotels on the internet.
Once they found a decent one, they went to rent the rooms.
"We'll take two rooms." Leo said to the receptionist.
"I am fine staying in the same room with you." Lia said to him.
"That's a little inappropriate… And there's no reason to cramp two of us in a room when we can have our own."
However, Lia ignored his words and said to the receptionist, "We'll take your best room."
And before Leo could say anything, she handed her black card to the receptionist, who had a sweet smile on her face, as she thought they were a couple that just had a fight.
"Here is your room key. Thank you for visiting our Diamond Hotel. All food and drinks are for free, and we have room service around the clock if you need."
"Let's go." Lia accepted the key and said to Leo, who had a bittersweet smile on his face.
Once they arrived at their room and saw how spacious it was, Lia spoke, "Now you don't have to worry about being cramped."
"I guess so…" Leo sighed.
"You should give up, Leo. You won't be able to beat her. She's someone who can act boldly and feel no shame." Lilith chuckled at his situation.
