Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System

Roy stood next to a corpse as multiple notifications from the system rang in his ears.

『Ding! Congratulation! You have slain a Level 2 Sunfire Ape』

'My suspicions are confirmed.' Roy thought.

The level of a sunfire ape was determined by its age as an aura monster. For example, a 10-year-old was level 1, and a 20-year-old was level 2.

Aura beasts with special bloodlines followed the same example. Average aura beasts weren't classified into levels, age being the only identifier of their strength.

『The stats of the Sunfire Ape has been extracted and purified. They will be transferred to you!』

"This is what I have been waiting for." Roy clenched his fist as different kinds of glow, each representing a stat point of a different kind, entered his body, infusing with his arms, legs, and torso, and some became fuel to the fire representing his vitality. Roy trembled in excitement as he felt a great surge in his strength. If someone were here, they would have been confused, unable to understand why he was shaking so much and beaming from ear to ear like a maniac that has experienced something amazing in his mind. The glow couldn't be seen with the naked eye, and he was only able to see them because of the effect of his title. "Fill me up with more power!" Roy added.

『Your Strength has increased to 370 points!』

『Your Agility has increased to 330 points!』

『Your Stamina has increased to 340 points!』

『Your Health has increased to 300 points!』

Roy went over the notifications and nodded in self-respect, "My stats are comparable to a person with four limiters removed. If some rare cases aren't taken into account, it's only the realm lords and grandmasters who can best me in a fight with no skills or abilities involved. I'm afraid there's no human in the aura master stage with a body as strong as mine."

"It's amazing how my stats reached such a point without trouble when I have removed only three limiters. I have my lord-rank physique to thank for that."

Roy was a semi-devil as he had removed three limiters. Semi-devil was a term used to describe a person who could reach 320 points in his basic stats. 320 in each of the basic stats was the recognized maximum limit for semi-devils, but only a few were able to reach it.

Seeing a semi-devil who could increase every one of their stats to the utmost limit and train every inch of their body without leaving behind any weak points was as rare as chancing upon a phoenix's feature.

Roy was a semi-devil with a lord-rank physique, thus why his upper limit was 500 points for each stat.

His growth would have stunted again if not for that!

The system's notifications continued ringing in his mind.

『You have gained 20000 experience points』

『You have gained 9× drops of False Sunfire Blood』

『As it is your first time killing a 20-year-old aura monster, you will receive an additional award』

『Obtained the remaining skill shards of the Sword Creation Manual!』

The last notification caught his eye.

"The creation progress of this skill was stunted after I left the ancestral land. I didn't expect I would complete it while stealing the first fortuitous encounter of the Armored Knight. Someone has said it right. Life is full of twists. Fortune strikes when you least expect it," Roy said as he opened the skill window and combined the skill shards to create the skill.

『The Sword Creation Skill has been obtained!』

A torrent of knowledge drilled into Roy's mind.

He grimaced as it felt like a thousand needles were pricking his mind. If someone else had experienced the same thing, they would have cried for their mother.

"It's not my first time experiencing it, but it's stronger compared to the last. Maybe the length and complexity of the skill determine the pain. At this rate, I am never gonna get used to it."

Despite the complaints, he closed his eyes, accepting the knowledge related to the Sword Creation Skill.

Only a person who possesses aura or mana and is trained in the art of swordplay could use the Sword Creation Skills. The skill won't work for someone who is not skilled in combat and lacks aura or mana, as it requires precision, focus, and energy.

The Sword Creation skill was a unique ability that enabled the wielder to create magical or aura swords simply by thinking about it.

This meant that with this skill, Roy didn't need any physical materials, tools, or smithing skills to create a sword. As long as he had enough mana in his magic sea or aura in his inner world, he could simply manifest a sword in the physical world.

"Let's test it out." Roy's eyes narrowed as he pictured a sword in his mind.

In the next instant, a sword of the same shape and size as the one in his mind manifested next to him as his aura decreased by a thousand points.

"Considering that creating a sword costs 1000 units of aura, I can create a hundred swords at a time since I have a hundred thousand units of aura in my inner world," Roy concluded. "And as seconds turn to minutes, the number of the flying swords will increase rapidly, reaching infinite. I can restore all my aura in one breath, thanks to my lord-rank physique."

In the next few seconds, he created all kinds of swords. Some were long swords, some were short swords, some were curved swords, and some were heavy swords.

He was like a child that has been given a new toy. He throughly investigated the sword creation skill and used it to his heart's content.

"So I can create different types of swords with the sword creation skill."

Roy gained a deeper comprehension of his newfound skill.

The sword created depended on his needs and preferences.

The swords seemed sharp. His right hand seemed adorned with a black glove as he applied defensive force to it. He touched a long sword, feeling its smoothness.
