BXBX NOVEL Chapter 250: Class Awakening: Death Reaper!
It was an artificial island made for people who spewed out from Saraz Stream and a resting stop for hunters.
The group arrived at the relatively empty shore. It was a beach, but only a few people could be seen here and there. The rest were on the lively island\'s town.
"I am close. Just need to kill two hundred and four monsters," Erix said. "I am going to kill them as there are many in the sea."
"I\'ll accompany you," Rin said.
"Then I\'ll take these two and find a good place for us to stay until Lady Lilith arrives here," Lily nodded.
The group separated as Rin and Erix dived back into the sea to kill monsters while Lily took Reinala and Maleina to the island town.
It was bustling with hunters, various shops, and buildings.
After entering, Lily bought a magic-enchanted outfit for herself as her previous one was destroyed.
Afterward, Lily found a good, unoccupied small hill to the west of the island with a bunch of trees and greenery.
"Clean the hill and start building with me," Lily said as she consumed her Mana to produce wood elements, creating a bunch of wooden vines and wood parts.
…
"Last one," Erix grinned.
"Get it," Rin said as she kicked the two-head flying amethyst condor, her attack whirling with chronace flow.
Unable to resist Rin\'s powerful flow with impact, it shot towards Erix, who punched it to death with one attack.
[Congratulations, you have successfully completed the last task. Class awakening commencing.]
Erix floated in the air as he was suddenly enveloped in a mystical black orb, slightly transparent and shining.
He was suddenly infused with a strange power that directly went into his origin region, creating a mystical and exquisite dark gold skull with dark green wisps in its eyes.
Below the skull formed a pool of black energy with a faint dark green hue, which caused the strange patterns on the skull to shine.
Erix felt a new source of power within him.
[You have acquired two active skills and one passive skill of the Death Reaper class.]
[The passive skill, Death Pond, has some sort of synergy with your innate talent, Death Bound.]
[Congratulations. Death Pond has evolved into the Dead Sea due to your innate talent.]
[Death Reaper]
_Rank: X
_Level: 1 [ 0 / 1000 Royal-order cores ]
_Death Energy: [ 10,000 / 10,000 ]
_Class Tree:
—> Active skills: Undead Scythe, Dead Doll.

_Skill creation attempts: 0
Erix opened his eyes as the strange power surrounding him vanished.
"Show skills," Rin said right after seeing Erix open his eyes.
"Haha, alright."
Erix shared the skills one by one.
[Undead Scythe]
_Type: Offense.
_Cost: 100 - 10,000 Death energy.
_Effect:
—> Conjures a giant scythe that directly attacks a target and infuses death for massive damage, depending on the cost. It can apply death to skills as well, essentially killing them and passing through them at the cost of its power.
"Undead Scythe, eh? I doubt it would be as powerful as our usual skills," Rin said as she rubbed her chin. "Unless this X rank class\'s skill structure is highly advanced and Death Energy super powerful."
"Yeah," Erix nodded. "I\'ll have to see how it is."
Erix consumed 1000 Death Energy as a three-meter-long scythe appeared in his hand. It was pitch black.
The curved blade of the Scythe was also three meters long in length, looking menacing and deathly with dark green glowing patterns.
It floated beside Erix and was in his full control.
*Craaaa!*
"Nice, we got a test subject," Rin chuckled as a flying monster zoomed towards them with its dark blue feathered wings crackling with lightning, and its huge beak opened to eat them.
Erix grinned. His eyes glinted as he controlled the Scythe and shot toward the incoming monster.
The monster\'s beak shone while it also gathered its energy to attack the Scythe.
Erix manipulated it to dodge the energy attack as he didn\'t want the Scythe\'s power to reduce before it attacked.
*Swoosh!*
The Scythe struck the monster\'s glowing beak and stuck there before something strange happened.
The monster cried loudly as its flight course became chaotic, and it fell downward while its body started turning pitch black.
In just two seconds, it entirely turned pitch black and died.
It was a level 248 Royal-order monster!
\'What the fuck?\' Erix was startled and excited. \'Such power already? What If I modify and empower it with my other powers to use it better?\'
"What the…did you boost its powers with your spirit force?" Rin asked with a dumbfounded expression and turned to Erix before she was surprised again.
Erix\'s body was faintly glowing with a magical black hue.
"I didn\'t boost it," Eric shook his head with a wry smile, "Also, it seems that I got complete death power from that monster, unlike the residuals I\'ve gotten previously."
"But…" Erix snapped his finger and showed his passive skill to Rin. "I no longer need to worry about my source absorbing death power."
[Dead Sea]
_Type: Utility.
_Death Specks: [ 128 ]
_Effect(s):
—> Whenever you kill a living being, the Dead Sea will absorb its death power completely and turn it into Death Specks.
—> You can use Death Specks to apply Death Rules to your various attacks.
_Death Rules: the effect of the rules depends on the Death Specks consumed when using them.
—> Killing Boost: Increase attack power.
—> Death Doom: Apply a Doom mark on the target attacked. If the target dies, you will receive a buff based on the target you killed.
_Note: More Death Rules will appear as the class levels up.
"Wow," Rin\'s eyes sparkled. "This passive skill is crazy and growable."
"Just like your Blade Eater, but a bit different," Erix nodded with a grin. "I am more interested in Killing Boost. My already powerful attack can become even more potent."
"Mhm," Rin nodded. "Let\'s farm a bit more?"
"There\'s one more skill," Erix showed the second active skill. "I didn\'t get options, but instead got two active skills and one passive directly."
Rin saw the skill\'s details, and her jaw dropped in shock. "This is awesome, darling!"
[Dead Doll]
_Type: Defense.
_Cost: 1000 - 10,000 Death Energy.
_Effect:
—> After conjuring Dead Doll, it will absorb all the damage dealt to you until it is destroyed—A minimum of 1 second of invincibility is granted even if damage exceeds the doll\'s threshold.
—> You can also assign a Dead Doll to your allies.
"Babe, it\'s time that you evolve your class," Erix said with a laugh as he pulled Rin\'s waist, pressing her bosom on his chest.
"Your class is already at level 10, and you have ten skill creation attempts. Just evolve it, and then we\'ll farm again."
Rin smiled and kissed Erix before nodding, "Alright. But I\'ll save my skill creation attempts until you also have them. Moreover, it\'s better to use those attempts when we are more powerful."
"Mhm, you are right. We\'ll do it after reaching Royal-Order and returning to Earth."
Rin had met the condition of evolving her class rank from S to SS after the farming they had just done.
Without further ado, she agreed to evolve her class in the notification with her will, causing her body to shine.
Erix backed away from her as Rin was wrapped around in a sharp, whirling phenomenon filled with countless tiny blades.
[Anomaly detected. Due to your aptitude with your class source, your class will directly evolve to SSS-rank.]
