Chaos Warlord: Reincarnated in Eldrich with the Devil System!

Val drove his sword through a Luminous Scalebeast. The blade pierced the beast's back, emerging from its front.

Hugyuuuu!

The beast roared in pain.

In response to the beast's agonized roar, Val jerked the sword upwards while it was still embedded in the creature. With a sickening sound, the beast was cleaved open from chest to head, its roar abruptly silenced as life left its eyes.

Once again, a system notification rang out in Val's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You killed a level 24 Luminous Scalebeast. You get 480 EXP. You've earned an additional 240 EXP due to the level difference.]

'Good, now I am only 718 EXP away from leveling up,' he thought.

The remaining two Luminous Scalebeasts watched in terror and fury as their kin fell one after the other. One beast, its eyes wide with terror, turned tail to flee. The other, enraged by the death of its fellows, let out a guttural roar, its gaze fixed on Val.

"Heh, scaredy-cat," Val said under his breath, watching the retreating beast. "Showing your back to the enemy is going to be the biggest and the last mistake of your miserable life."

As he spoke, Val could be seen extending his hand. Immediately, tendrils of blood rose from his finger, converging at a single point above his finger to form a needle-shaped projectile. He focused his gaze on the retreating figure. Almost simultaneously, the blood needle shot forward at an incredible speed. It whizzed through the air and hit the retreating scalebeast square in the back of its head with such force that its head exploded in a mess of blood and gore.

[Ding! Congratulations, host. You killed a level 20 Luminous Scalebeast. You get 400 EXP. You've earned an additional 200 EXP due to the level difference.]

A notification popped up in front of Val, bringinf with it news he found quite pleasant. Now he was around a 100 EXP away from levelling up.

Once he killed the last remaining member of the Luminous Scalebeast group, wouldn't he level up?

Val turned his mocking and bloodthirsty gaze to the beast.

Guriyon!

The last Luminous Scalebeast, driven to madness by fear and anger, roared. The sound hit Val like a powerful physical slap, causing him to bleed from his ears. However, he didn't flinch, meeting the beast's charge with a steady gaze. The beast's heavy steps echoed around the area, stirring up clouds of dust and leaving deep footprints in the ground as it closed in on Val.

"I need to level up. So you'll have to die!" Val narrowed his eyes, standing his ground as the beast lunged at him.

The beast, seeing Val unmoving, thought its roar had successfully stunned him with fear. However, the calm expression on Val's face told a different story. To the Scalebeast, all humans looked the same. It couldn't differentiate between terror and serenity, so it inferred something entirely wrong from seeing standing as still as a statur. The beast could already envision Val being torn apart under its powerful claws.

But just as its claws came within an inch of Val, it abruptly stopped, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

What was going on?

Val's wizardry was fully activated!

The beast was baffled, unable to umderstand what had stopped it from claiming his life, but it was exactly where Val wanted it to be. Seizing the moment, Val swung his sword in a wide arc, cleanly beheading the beast in one swift strike.

As the head was sent flying into the air, blood spurted from the headless neck, staining the ground a deep crimson.

Thud!

The beast's headless body swayed for a moment before collapsing to the ground with a dull thud. The next moment, its head plunged down to the ground, landing beside the headless body.

A series of notifications rang in Val's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have leveled up. You have reached level 12 from 11. You get +2 Stat Points, and a 25% upgrade in your Level 2 Blood Devil Bloodline!]

[EXP required to reach the next level: 632/4500]

[Current progress of the Host's Level 2 Blood Devil Bloodline towards the next level: 100/100%]

[Host's Level 2 Blood Devil Bloodline has upgraded!]

[You have advanced to the third level of the Blood Devil Class!]

A slow smile spread across Val's face as he digested the notifications. He was curious about what new skill he would unlock with this level.

"Heh, this should be interesting," he muttered to himself.

Just then, a new system notification rang out:

[You've gained the corpse Sacrifice Skill. It allows the user to make a sacrifice to the Devil God and create an undead. The nature, duration, and power of the undead depend on the magnitude of the sacrifice made. The greater the sacrifice, the more formidable the undead would be, and the longer it would be able to stay in the material plane without any source of nutrition. However, the user should exercise caution when using this skill. After all, a powerful undead requires a powerful controller, or it might turn on its creator.]

His eyebrows furrowed at the risks that the Blood Sacrifice Skill carried. First, he wondered what side effects there would be to making contact with a Devil God. Then there was also the danger of biting off more than he could chew if he used this skill to create a powerful undead. However, it was clear that this skill held the potential for great power if used wisely.

'It is too valuable to give up on.'

Thus, despite the danger involved, Val decided to use it.

He was pulled out of his thought as a shocking notification sounded.

[Ding! Trial period has ended. The Host has to depend on himself to upgrade his Blood Devil Bloodline. A connection has been formed between the Host and the Shrine of Evil. Enter the Shrine and assume the role of the Devil God to make your Corpse Devil Skill usable.]
