Leveling Endlessly with the Strongest System

The Formless Siren tugged at her husband's black jacket, and he turned to her, unknowingly focusing all his attention on her.

She was something he couldn't deny.

Every fiber of his being wanted her.

Roy wasn't foolish enough not to realize that he had become a drug addict, and the Formless Siren was his drug. He wanted to breathe in her scent, lick her neck, consume her lips, and mate with her for a thousand days. However, he didn't want to harm her by pouncing on her like a beast when she was yet to get over her fear of Voss. That's why he resisted his desire to make her his brutally.

"Yes?" Roy gently smiled at her.

He felt her shuddering in his arms in contentment. She was still in his embrace and could feel his bodily warmth spreading to her, enveloping her in gentleness. This made her unbelievably happy. The Mate she had been waiting for for so long really didn't let her down

She said to him, "Voss's sons are heinous, but they aren't ridiculously strong. You should be able to deal with them as easily as you dealt with the giant white-blooded snakes, lesser familiars of my father, the Water Celestial. But try not to engage them in a fight."

"Why?" Roy asked.

The Formless Siren answered, "Voss has three million sons. If you stick around to deal with them, you'll quickly get surrounded and outnumbered."

Roy smirked. She was worried about nothing.

"I took out a sea of snakes. It should just be a piece of cake to take out a million bastards, no?"

"Don't take this situation lightly." Tevenlor said to Roy, "Voss is pinned to that mountain and can't move around, but a part of him can appear in any place where ten thousand of his sons are gathered."

The formless siren nodded. It's exactly like what he said. She was afraid Voss could pull that stunt.

Roy's eyebrows jumped. "It shouldn't be easy for him to do that. It must come with a cost, no?"

Yulran nodded at him, "9999. That's the number of sons he needs to sacrifice to descend. If you are surrounded by ten thousand of them, there is a chance you might face Voss's immaterial body. So run and don't look back until you get out of this place."

"Where should I run to?" Roy asked, "Where is the way out of here?"

"That's the last thing I wanted to tell you. The exit will be revealed to you after you complete the next and the very last trial of this land. In this trial, you will need to cross the Dragon's Pond and reach the Dragon Tree. The Dragon's Pond developed a spirit seven centuries ago. It will test you. Voss doesn't know about the place with the Dragon's Pond as it's hidden well. However, it shouldn't take him long to find it out once you bring her there. Voss and his sons are familiar with her scent, and they also have occultist magic to track her down. No matter where she runs to in the Ashen Land, they should be able to seek her out. It will take time, but they will be able to chase her down to the Dragon's pond."

"You will have about 20 minutes to overcome the last trial and get out of here if you want to take her with you, or you risk the chance of facing Voss's army and immaterial body."

"Can you do it?"

Yulran looked deep into Roy's eyes, sizing him up.

Roy questioned him in return, "How about I complete the trial first and then come back for her?"

Yulran shook his head, "That's not a feasible idea. The second you complete the last trial, the way out of this place will appear. Then the breath of the outside world will enter the Ashen Land once again. All the dwellers will sense it then and come running towards it, Voss's sons included. By then, it's going to be too late to come back for her. And if you do, you will end up as canon fodder."

Although only a few of the dwellers of the Ashen Lands were as strong as Grandmaster, even a single one was enough to mess Roy up badly or even kill him.

He was not a match for an Aura Grandmaster!

"I don't know if I can. But I am sure about one thing. I won't leave this place without her."

While saying this to Yulran, Roy grabbed his wife's soft hand, intertwining his fingers with her.

Roy knew that a fate worse than death awaited her if she was left behind.

He would have taken her out of here even if she wasn't his wife, and now that she was, there's no way in hell that he would let her fall in Voss's hand.

This female Siren was his, and thus, he would never allow another man or monster to taint her purity!

The Female Siren looked into his eyes and understood he meant what he said, and the worries in her heart lessened, and a smile blossomed on her face.

Her husband wouldn't abandon her here. She wouldn't be for the dogs to bite. He would take her out of this hellhole. After several hundred years, she would finally get out of the Ashen Land.

Yulran smiled at Roy and said, "If you had answered me differently, I would surely have been disappointed."

Then, he pointed the slowly disappearing finger of his last remaining claw at Roy and spoke.

"I was planning to imbue the last of my powers in her, hoping that it would give her a trump card against Voss and a place of her own in the Ashen land, but now I have changed my mind. I will use it to bless you. Accept it!"

The fires on the torches made their way to Yulran and gathered in his palm.

"Do it!" Roy said, and Yulran jumped towards him and pushed it inside his chest.

Roy felt as if lava was flowing in him. Everything inside him melted. He felt thoroughly burned. Heck, even his skin started becoming crispy as if being cooked in hot oil.

Although he was hotter than heated iron, the Formless Siren didn't let go of him. She was weak against fire but even weak against his pained expression. She hugged him, hoping to use her love for him and water magic to heal him. Healing Water gushed out of her, entering Roy.

Smokes came out of his mouth as an unimaginable power began to heal him, and an even more unimaginable power began strengthening every fiber of his being and strengthening his soul.

The level of his skill "Fire Control" also rapidly increased because of this.
