Legend of the Immortal

Breakthrough

Belle's Apartment

Rica and Jamie stood there, Jamie knocking the door.

Moments later, the door emitted a 'click' sound before opening with a soft creak.

"Back so soon? Oh? Paragon realm? This is..." Belle asked, becoming more confused.

"Teacher! It's really the miracle! We had a lucky occurrence and Jamie made it to the middle paragon level like me!"

Belle's mind whirred.

"Lucky chance? What is this...lucky chance?" Belle asked, curious to know.

"Here! Jamie take it out."

Jamie nodded and took the jet black egg from his bag.

One look at it and Belle stood there blankly.

For a moment there, around the entire realm, the realm shivered from something before returning to normal.

Rica and Jamie shivered as if something had invaded their minds.

Assuming it was a cold, they shrugged it off.

"Teacher...?" Rica asked at the still staring Belle.

"Crow of Unjust! I've been looking for you! Lover boy! Quick! Pass me the egg!" Belle shouted, seemingly excited.

Jamie tossed it to Belle who caught it.

"I never expected it to end up here...looks like the world's looking up on you." Belle muttered.

"What is this Miss Trinity?" Jamie asked, wanting to know.

Waving her hand Belle motioned for both of them to step in.

Sitting down at the dining table, Belle set the egg on the table before speaking.

"Lover boy. I have some news for you. Whether it's good or bad depends on your outlook. Anyway, prepare yourselves." Belle spoke solemnly.

"What's going on?..." Rica asked.

"Crow of Unjust, it has a secondary form, unlucky cat. Jet black, green eyes. It does a seemingly equal trade. Usually appearing after a strong desire for power appears for a long period. It grants-upon contact power they wished for. Of course, there's no free meal in this world. In exchange for power, you can no longer get any stronger by the normal means of training by killing monsters and body strengthening." Belle's eyes narrowed and she shivered, whether in delight or fear, the duo couldn't tell.

"What's the way?..."Jamie asked, gathering his courage, waiting for the verdict.

"Killing. That is- killing humans or humanoids." Belle said it with an evil smile, revelling in Jamie and Rica's horror.

"W-what?!" Rica shouted out, saliva spitting out everywhere.

"You kill things that are humanoid and have feelings. You get their power. You kill a demigod stage human, you absorb his power. You kill an overlord, you get the overlord's power. Of course, you now suffer from the Unjust's Curse. Overwhelming killing intent will follow once you come into contact with blood. Except, this rage can only be settled after you kill roughly about say...a thousand or so people? You don't get their power too." Belle said indifferently.

"You're kidding..." Jamie muttered.

"Oh and during this period, your power increases ten fold. Basically, the power of one of the palace guards in my palace."
