Chapter 116: Legendary Beasts Successor (7)
Translator: HH Editor: HH
The Sabertooth Tiger’s vestige felt danger nearby .
At this rate, he would not only lose his physical body, but also his soul . Forever .
But Bathory’s Vampiric Sword was already approaching his corpse .
A scream that made goosebumps on his back .
With the sound of a ghost in hell that was telling him to follow him, the Sabertooth Tiger’s body started to dry up at a quick pace .
[You have used ‘Bathory’s Vampiric Sword . ’ You have received vitality and spirit power . ]
[Strength has increased by 2 . ]
[Dexterity has increased by 1 . ]
[No!]
The vestige ran at Yeon-woo with a shout . He had realized too late what Yeon-woo was trying to do .
Energy drain!
The horrifying ability of forcefully taking the energy of your opponent and making it yours .
The problem was the Yeon-woo’s energy drain was one of the most superior skills . Not only did it drain all the energy, it sucked the soul up as well .
Yeon-woo had been waiting for this moment since the beginning, and came over to the territory just for this . It was so he could absorb as much magic power as possible before it left the corpse .
Even without the Neidan or the heart, a Legendary Beast’s body was a storage unit for magic power .
Also .
‘It would be nice if I could collect the soul of the Legendary Beast while I’m at it . ’
The Black Bracelet could only collect souls he had killed . However, it didn’t have to be only him that killed the souls he collected . To be precise, if he had lent even a small hand in killing it, he could take the soul .
The probability differed each time, however .
But what if he used Bathory’s Vampiric Sword?
Then how would the Tower judge the probability?
The Sabertooth Tiger was definitely killed by the Saber God . However, like all other Legendary Beasts, they could all return to their origins and aim for resurrection .
That was the reason vestiges were left . Since they could resurrect, they left their remains .
Even if they died, they didn’t die .
And that was what Yeon-woo was aiming for .
He used the sword to inflict more pain upon the Sabertooth Tiger . Then how would it apply to the Sabertooth Tiger that had died, but wasn’t really dead?
‘It would be like killing him again . Since Bathory’s Vampiric Sword also damages the soul . ’
That was a loophole in the Tower .
Of course, it might not work . It was only his theory, and he had never tried it out .
However .
[Keackk!]
The vestige stopped releasing energy to hurt Yeon-woo kneeled on one knee to the ground .
Yeon-woo instinctively knew .
‘It worked . ’
His gamble had worked .
[Shit! This shit! You, let go of your hand!]
The vestige screamed at Yeon-woo to remove his hand . He must’ve been pained, because he was leaning heavily on one foot on the ground . His eyes were bloodshot .
But no matter how much he tried, the corpse continued to dry up at a rapid rate .
On the other hand, Yeon-woo felt a new strength entering his body . His empty Magic Circuit filled up to the brink . His body became sturdier .
It was incomparable to the power that the Void Dragon or the Abyss Turtle had left him .
It was a bit of a shame he couldn’t get the Neidan and the heart, but the amount of power he got was almost enough to substitute them .
[The growth of your body has been confirmed . The halted succession process in continuing . 99 . 8%… . . ]
The Dragon Body took in all the energy like it wouldn’t leave anything left . And because it thought his body was lacking to take in all the energy, his vessel became larger .
[Ahhhhhh…! I! To a mere human!]
Thinking that he was not only killed by a mere human, but also robbed of all his achievements throughout the years, and with the thought that he might ‘really’ die made him scream in fear .
The vestige, that had been flying around in the air like a broken doll, scattered into dust .

Yeon-woo slowly opened his eyes . His face was full of smiles .
It was something he felt every time, but he could never get used to the joy of growth .
‘It’s a shame that my Dragon Body still isn’t finished with everything I did, though . ’
[The succession process has finished . ]
[Current Progress: 99 . 9%]
After he had reached 99%, the process had slowed down . Now, all he had to do was climb the mountain of 0 . 1% .
But he was still happy . He now had a strength that was incomparable to before .
Magic Circuit was restlessly circulating . The Cores started to activate again with the help of Heaven Wing Mana Control .
But Yeon-woo didn’t stop there .
He still had the Sabertooth Tiger’s soul .
The Black Braceful was trembling like it was going to break, like the tier of the Sabertooth Tiger hadn’t decreased one bit since it had died .
Chirp!
Then, Chirpy spread his wings .
As if saying not to eat it all by himself .
“Ok . Don’t rush me . ”

Yeon-woo smirked and spread out his hand in the middle of the air .
There, the Black Bracelet was surrounded by a black light and the spirits that were inside were changed into dark energy .
He did the same for all the souls except for Shanon’s because he had somewhere to use it for .
[Hu… . man…! Human…!]
The Sabertooth Tiger’s soul could be heard sobbing, but it wasn’t enough to beat the Black Bracelet . Eventually, even his soul was made into a spirit bead .
The spirit bead was larger than other spirit beads . It looked like a jewel .
He tossed it to Chirpy .
It was a bit much for Chirpy to eat the bead that was as big as his head, but he pecked it into pieces to be able to swallow it .
It was a bead that had the spirit of a Legendary Beast . It would be able to get sold for an astronomical amount .
It was still less compared to the Neidan or the heart, but it was still a large amount . And Yeon-woo gave it to Chirpy without any hesitation .
The more Chirpy grew . He felt like he would be able to grow with him .
And when Chirpy finished the bead .
A foggy light followed him . It turned into a blue flame, and it soared into the sky along with Chirpy, who had grown into the size of a falcon .
And when the flame faded away .
A sharp beak and sharp eyes . The top was shining with an ashy blue color, and the bottom was gold . Black patterns followed the path of a fire like it was going to burn the world .
The size was a bit smaller than 50 centimeters, but when he spread his wings, it’s was a threatening meter wide .
[The baby Phoenix (Chirpy) has been able to grow with the spirit bead . It is causing the appearance of ‘discord . ’]
[The dark energy has lifted some of the innate evil . ]
And then .
[All tests have been finished . ]
‘What?’
A sudden message .
Yeon-woo widened his eyes at the unexpected message .
What did it mean? The tests are finished?
[You have achieved an accomplishment not easily achieved . Additional karma is being awarded . ]
[You have received 5,000 Karma . ]

And the messages kept on popping up, and Yeon-woo was able to realize he wasn’t seeing things .
Yeon-woo thought it might be because his egg on the other side of the Tower had hatched, but using his connection, he could feel it was in a deep sleep .
If so .
‘Because of Chirpy?’
That was the only thing that came to mind .
[Thanks . Master . ]
With his growth, Chirpy was able to express his feelings in words .
Yeon-woo thought his beak looked like it was smiling . With his connection, he was able to guess what happened .
‘Is it that? Since Chirpy is also a Mythical Beast, the system is recognizing me as someone who hatched Chirpy . ’
Yeon-woo looked for the message that he received when he first arrived at the 11th floor .
[Challenger, please hatch an egg of your own from here . ]
‘Oh, so it’s because of this . ’
To hatch his own Mythical Beast . There was a trap here .
He did get an egg, but he didn’t have to hatch it . A Mythical Beast that grew up from his dreams was enough .
Chirpy was connected to Yeon-woo the second he was born, and with the help of Yeon-woo, he was able to grow . And so the perfect contract was completed .
So the system recognized it as an accomplishment of Yeon-woo .
‘I thought it would take a while to get off the 11th floor . ’
