NOVEL NEXT Chapter 33: Chapter 33:
"Mr. Killua, I'm grateful for your care."
"It's just a small favor."
Two bland greetings.
These were the opening remarks of the first meeting between the two men.
Of course, they all knew it.
Saya's matter was not the theme of today's private meeting.
"I heard from Yuriko that Mr. Killua has some magical abilities."
Soichiro got straight to the point.
This man was as big as a bear.
Even when he was sitting on the sofa, he gave people a sense of oppression like a giant.
"That's true."
Killua took a sip of tea and said softly.
Before coming, he had already settled the rewards for the "Doomsday Rush" branch.
50 silver coins, plus 5 attribute points and skill points each.
Attribute points were invested in physical attributes first.
Strive to maintain the most perfect state.
Skill points have accumulated to 40.
After some thinking.
He finally raised the "Mental Shock" skill to level 10.
It only consumes 10 skill points.
He has no shortage of this resource.
...
[Mental Shock (Black Iron)]
[Level: Lv10/10 (Full Level)]
[Description: Level 1 spell, consumes 10% of the maximum mana to launch a mental shock on the target, causing (mana consumption + spell strength) points of mental damage, cooling for 30 seconds]
[Note: If the will attribute of the self is lower than the target, the self will bear double skill damage]
...
The lethality of the 10th level "Mental Shock" is still limited.
After all, it is just a Black Iron skill.
But the advantage of this spell is that it is hidden.
It hardly takes any casting time.
There are no precursors or spiritual fluctuations.
Killua only needs a thought.
It can mentally impact the target.
In a sense…
This is a skill specifically used for sneak attacks.
Seeing that Killua was just drinking tea and did not reveal more information.
Soichiro looked serious and said in a deep voice.
"Now that the disaster has come, the whole city is facing a huge crisis."
"A talented person like Mr. Killua is exactly what we need."
"If you are willing to join The Worry
"I can appoint you as the vice president, and your status is only below mine."
"The premise… is that you really have the power to 'control zombies'."
Yes, this is the bait that Killua asked Yuriko to cast.
He was sure that Soichiro would be interested in such an ability.
And he would have the idea of recruiting him for his own use!
"I have already shown your wife my abilities."
Facing the sense of oppression emanating from Soichiro.
Killua looked indifferent. Put down the teacup and cross his legs.
"As for being your subordinate… I am not interested in positions like 'vice president'."
"What do you want?"
Soichiro's expression was as gloomy as ever.
It seemed that there had never been a second expression on this man's face.
"Since you are not interested in power and status."
"Then it is wealth? Or women?"
"Unfortunately, these two things are not of much value in the doomsday."
"As long as there is 'power', you can have as many of these things as you want."
Hearing this, Killua smiled slightly.
He agreed with the last sentence.
"What I want is very simple."
"That is…"
While speaking.
The "mental shock" skill has been activated.
Silently, Killua's will seemed to condense into an invisible hammer.
Strike hard in Soichiro's mind!
"…your life."
"You——"
No time to scream.
The president of the Patriotic One Heart Association felt a black screen in front of his eyes.
A strong sense of dizziness instantly enveloped him
He was bleeding from all seven orifices and collapsed on the sofa, already in a state of unconsciousness.
"He was not dead after being hit by a 'mental shock' of nearly 200 damage…"
Looking at Soichiro who had just lost consciousness, Killua was amazed.
"This guy is a tough guy."
"It's a pity that muscles can't defend against magic."
"Next…just be my puppet."
Although this battle was suspected of sneak attack.
But as a "magician", Killua thought it was normal for him to be unethical.
Just as he was about to walk over and use the dagger to give Soichiro the final blow.
The man on the sofa suddenly attacked.
He pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed Killua's heart like a venomous snake!
Puff——
The feeling of the sharp weapon piercing into flesh and blood made Soichiro, whose face was covered in blood, look happy.
But the next moment, he found that he had not stabbed Killua.
It was an ugly zombie in ragged clothes that appeared at some point!
"As you can see."
Killua's voice came from behind.
"I do have the ability to control zombies."
"Are you satisfied now?"
With a heart full of reluctance, Soichiro finally fell in a pool of blood.
The counterattack just now was his last strength.
...
[You obtained the dimensional chess piece of "Soichiro Takagi"! ]
[You obtained 550 (+10%) experience points! ]
"I didn't expect this guy to have so much experience."
Glancing at the prompt message that appeared after killing Takagi Soichiro.
Killua was slightly surprised, but he reacted quickly.
With Soichiro's status and combat power.
It is definitely an "elite monster" level existence.
It is normal to give more experience.
As for his chess pieces, they are even simpler and more crude.
...
[Dimensional chess piece: "Soichiro Takagi"]
[Level: 5 (Bronze)]
[Lineage: Chariot, Apocalypse]
[Chessboard effect-Black: Strength attribute +10, "Survivor" bond +2]
[Chessboard effect-White: Constitution attribute +10, "Survivor" bond +2]
[Bond-"Survivor": Omitted]
...
Takagi Soichiro's chess piece can serve as 10 additional attributes.
And whether it is placed on the black grid or the white grid.
It can provide a level 2 survivor bond.
Matched with the chess piece of "Yuriko".
Two people can directly collect the "Survivor" bond reward of the first stage.
"Not bad, it's worth my special performance."
Throwing the chess piece casually, Killua summoned Soichiro again.
"…Master."
After resurrection, the arrogance and fierceness on the man's face have disappeared.
Instead, it is replaced by absolute loyalty and obedience.
"You continue to manage the affairs of The Worry Society."
Killua was too lazy to talk to him more, and simply explained the follow-up arrangements.
"I will take action against the zombies nearby, you don't need to worry about it."
"As for those refugees…I have another plan, you don't need to ask."
"Yes."
Soichiro responded neatly.
"Right."
After thinking for a while, Killua scanned the layout of the room.
Finally, he landed on a samurai sword hanging on the wall.
This sword looks like an ornamental tool, but it actually hides a sharp blade.
"I remember… you also have a treasured pistol."
"Send it to my room with this sword later."
