The Legacy System

Sensing them jump towards the cave, Eric had an urge to immediately follow after them, and quickly deal with them, but the next moment another thought was born in his head.

Since he wouldn't be able to find so many good sandbags for practice in the near future, then why didn't he just use them to the best of their potential.

With these thoughts in mind, he decided to increase the level of his puppet to 99 and wait for the new arrivals to appear.

Even if he had to face all 6 of them at the same time, he was confident in his abilities to control his Blood Clone so that he didn't die immediately.

In fact, he thought that he could give them a good run for their money. Furthermore, even if they destroyed his Blood Clone he wouldn't suffer in the least, so it was the best situation possible.

At the same time, he didn't forget to place a mark on the cheeky thief who even though had just barely survived a death tribulation, still couldn't control his greed and hadn't left the area.

In fact, that guy had jumped on the sea as well, as he was using some kind of mysterious technique to conceal his aura, and Eric had to say that it was quite useful and good.

Even Eric himself would have trouble with sensing him if he hadn't already sensed him when he hid there and checked carefully after.

It looked like it had been a good decision not to kill this guy directly, as he seemed to have some good things on his body, and mind.

Eric would certainly pay special attention to him later and discover about that concealing skill of his, but now he had to concentrate on his Blood Clone.

…

At that moment there were 5 people in front of his Blood Clone, besides the previous trio there were two more people, one of them was level 99, while the second one was a troublesome known face low level.

It was the Snake guy that he had fought on the boat on his way to the Senkaku Islands. While this guy was a low-level, his snakes were extremely troublesome.

It looked like those snakes that he had attacked him at the boat weren't the only thing he had brought in this place, as there were many more coming out of his body.

To Eric, this scene was extremely disturbing and disgusting, as what kind of human being would willingly turn their body into a nest of snakes, besides a lunatic.

In fact, as he was looking at this creep another thought passed his head, just how the hell did this guy manage to have an intimate relationship with a woman, or could it be that he didn't do it at all.

The very thought of it made him feel that he was extremely pitiful, and poor, as he heard the guy talk to him in a hoarse, and mocking voice,

"Here we meet again boy! This is the first time I have seen someone survive the bite of my snakes; I have to say that you are quite capable!

But that was just a one-time exception, this time I will make sure to see you suffer to death after being bitten by my snakes! Hahaahah~!"

At that moment, the leader of the previous trio seemed to have understood that there was some kind of history between Eric, and the snake guy, as he said,

"Mate I don't care what you have with him, but I want to see him scream in pain and suffering! I want him to regret ever facing us!"

"Hahahah~! But of course, don't worry!"

The snake guy didn't expect Eric to have created such a strong enmity with the previous team, and he couldn't help but think that he was extremely unlucky.

Yet he wouldn't refuse such an interesting and enticing offer. After all, he was dying to release the anger of Eric taking down with him his best breeds.

If he wasn't afraid of Eric's means to deal with poison, he would have already sent his snakes to bite him and make him regret the day he appeared in front of him.

Not to mention, that different from these guys, he knew that Eric had managed to escape a stealthy attack of his senior brother, and survive the poison on his dagger when he was just level 80.

Now he was a level 93 existence, so he wasn't a soft persimmon that they could deal with swiftly. Furthermore, there was something wrong with his aura, which made him have a bad premonition.

It was after considering all these things that he was waiting for the others to take action, and only carefully wait for an opening.

The previous trio seemed to have a deep grudge against him, but the moment that he and the other fighter appeared, even they stopped their attacks.

They knew that if Eric was cornered too much then he might choose to die while taking a few of them with him to the grave, and none of them wanted to be the one reserving their holidays in Hell.

With those thoughts in their minds, the whole situation seemed to be in a stalemate. What no one noticed though, was the fact that for a few moments Eric's eyes seemed lifeless.

That was the moment when Eric was concentrated on that thief's aura, but the next instant, his eyes started sparkling once again with wisdom, and life, as he even dared to taunt these guys,

"Hahaha~! How useless, you guys have me surrounded, and instead of attacking me to take my life, you resort to cheap tricks and just stares.

Could it be that you guys think of me as extremely handsome!? I am sorry to say but I don't play that way!

Or do you think that you will suddenly discover some new ability and kill me with your stares!? If that is the case, then I am willing to wait here with you! Is 1 year enough for you guys!? Hhaha~!"

If one looked at this situation and heard Eric's voice, they would most probably think that it wasn't these guys who had trapped Eric, but to the contrary Eric who had trapped them.

In fact, Eric tone of confidence made the 5 of them have an instant of doubt as something might be wrong, but the next moment that level 99 guy, sighed and said with a disappointed tone,

"To think that even a worm like you dares to act like some kind of sage or dragon! Pathetic!"

No one understood whether those words were said to Eric, or to the guys by his side, as he jumped towards Eric in full strength, with the intention of killing him in one hit.

Eric had to accept that this guy was pretty strong, but at the same time, he was excited because he was finally fighting a human level 99 expert, and he was expecting a lot.

This guy's weapon was a blade, and his achievements with it weren't small, as he could feel an indistinct pressure released from the blade, but Eric still kept his calm, and breathe.

Seeing that blade hack towards his neck from the right, he just calmly sent his 'Silent Reaper' dagger towards the upcoming blade.

His move seemed extremely usual and normal, at best average, which made the four people behind the level 99 expert click their tongue as the battle would be over in one movement.

But the next instant their jaws dropped to the ground, as they couldn't believe their eyes. Not only had that average-looking movement blocked the blade and thwarted it to the side.

But his other hand had been clenched in a fist and was sent towards the guy's right cheek, and it actually landed, sending him flying to the side with a broken cheekbone in the least.

"Motherfu*cker!"

The four of them couldn't believe what had just happened but now was too late to turn around as they were already mid-air ready to land their attacks on Eric.

Unfortunately, one of the guys in the trio was hit by the body of that level 99 fighter, and there were only two out of three left to attack.

As for the snake guy, he wouldn't attack directly, he wasn't that stupid he knew he had no chance in a frontal crash, so he had hidden a few snakes on the bodies of the two attacking fighters.

The moment that they clashed with Eric, the snakes would jump out and try to bite Eric and poison him. One had to say that it was quite the plan, and Eric would suffer if it landed.

But who said that Eric would clash with those two guys willingly? After all, he had already noticed the snakes on their bodies and didn't want to deal with these troublesome creatures.

With those thoughts in mind, he quickly made use of the inertia of his punch landing and made a big jump to the back in order to escape the two guys' attacks.

One had to say that his plan of action was extremely good and well thought, but he seemed to have forgotten an important point, as the moment he landed back he felt a sharp dagger pierce his back.

The dagger pierced through the left side of his back, reaching his heart, and the next moment it was swiftly pulled back.

Immediately after, he felt a metallic bloody smell, a sweet and warm swarm in his throat, and then the cold metal cut open his throat, giving an end to his life…
