The Supreme Level Up System

Chapter 138 Return



"I am returning to my territory since the job here is done. I hope you guys can hold this fort for at last for a few days," Aion said.

Jagger clicked his tongue after hearing that. He couldn't say much since he was there when the city was lost once. Vanessa could only force a smile… Richard and Aion decided to ignore each other for the time being since they were like water and oil. In the end, he couldn't leave without some remarks to keep them on their toes.

After that, Aion went to talk with his sisters, they would stay there for as long as Vanessa did, and since the city needed to be rebuilt in some parts, mages were needed. Besides, there was a slim chance that the enemies might try to return and attack, but it was hard since they lost the three people that were essentially the core of their forces.

"You were amazing out there, Aion," Elvera said. "Thank you for coming to help us."

"... No problem," Aion said, trying to keep his poker face when he realized that his sisters had realized the reason he had come, at least half of the reason.

"We are the big sisters here, so you shouldn't underestimate us," Nanda said. "Still, thanks to your help, a lot of friends only escaped with some scratches, even though they felt that they were going to die… for that, I am thankful."

Nanda's words would be more persuasive if she wasn't hiding behind her sister. Aion had the mental age of 37 years old man, so he probably underestimated his siblings a bit. They were smart enough to realize the meaning behind some of his actions.

"All right, take care," Aion said.

Aion began to fly toward his home while wondering why no one had asked him about his weapon. They knew that it could transform, and he had never heard of a weapon that could do that… Maybe he was too self-conscious about it, but he couldn't feel that it was weird.

In any case, Aion returned to his house in the middle of the afternoon and confirmed that nothing had happened while he was away. He sighed in relief when he heard that report from his mother but then frowned afterward.

"You look tired and hungry… You got hit pretty badly somewhere, didn't you?" Artemisia asked. "Let me see the wound."

Artemisia was really sharp… in the end, Aion showed the wound that now was a damaged circle of flesh. It was healing, and it served as a good lesson for Aion. Still, she decided to heal it even more since she was more skilled, and it wouldn't be hard.

"At least I know that you won't get hurt like that anytime soon," Artemisia said. "If the news spread to the other side of the kingdom, the invaders might retreat as well out of fear.'

"Let's hope that will be the case," Aion said while wondering what he would do if he heard that his brothers were in a pinch.

"You won't heal properly if you worry endlessly. Besides, I don't think that your father will send any report about the situation there. You already did plenty, and he would feel ashamed if he asked for your help," Artemisia said.

She had a point. Moreover, crossing the kingdom to help the other side wasn't a good idea since Aion would need a few days to cross such a long terrain. That might give the enemies a chance to attack his territory… Also, he had work to do. He didn't lose a single soldier, but his port stopped working for weeks, and he will have to work a lot to make things get on track again.

"I guess we can do something about the lord barrel now… I wonder what I should do," Aion said while smirking.

"Please, don't show your scheming face in front of others. You will have a hard time finding a girlfriend if many people see that face," Artemisia said.

Aion laughed for a bit. In the end, just attacking random places under the control of that guy to make him lose money wouldn't be enough… maybe Aion should do something to make that piece of shit lose its territory, but for such a thing to happen in times of wars was rare… maybe a few months after it could, but not now.

Besides, gaining more land wasn't only a good thing. Aion would have to hurry about managing the land, crimes, taxes, complaints, repairs, and trade routes… since he couldn't trust anyone around aside from his mother to help him, he would only cause more problems for her. For the time being, Aion decided to use Lerg to destroy some buildings under that asshole's control. After resting for two weeks, he went there in the middle of the night and made Lerg attack and destroy some wine cellars.

Artemisia told him that the main product of that territory was wine and the lord barrel liked them quite a bit. To the point that he had his own cellar where he produced his high-quality wine. Naturally, Aion destroyed that.

During that job, Aion learned more about the power of his newest death knight. Lerg didn't have a quiver, and while his bow was of high quality, it was only a weapon that helped him snipe enemies far away. He was also a mutated individual, and his power was of to summon arrows using the materials around. Still, they would fall apart like sand after hitting the target.

"At this point in time, it was clear that the mutated abilities aren't just physical… Still, I wonder how those guys that are mainly brain-dead warriors obtained such magical skills… if it this isn't weird, I don't know what it is…"

Aion was determined to do more research about those guys and their weird powers, but it would be difficult since they don't reveal information since. It would be the same as revealing their weaknesses…
