Level up is hard? I can Directly Purchase infinite Levels!-Chapter 104: Divine Amber — Sea God’s Tear

Maurice immediately guessed the reason, and his expression changed drastically.

At the same time, he hurriedly tried to recall the crystal sphere that had fallen into the void.

Seeing Maurice injured, the quasi-Epic powerhouse of the Blackwater Clan completely panicked.

He desperately tried to drag the battlefield downward, overlapping it with Maurice’s position—but Borm blocked him head-on with overwhelming force.

At this moment, Raine was like a ray of light piercing through the darkness. He burst out of the black mist and, in an instant, closed in on Maurice.

Unable to immediately activate the Divine Relic to counterattack, Maurice could only trigger the skill Blackwater Aegis—an extremely powerful defensive ability, capable of withstanding tremendous damage.

At the same time, he once again condensed his Godform. Shadowy black-water serpents emerged from the mist, spewing black fog toward Raine.

Raine showed no panic whatsoever. Activating Judgment Waltz, he flung out the fragment once more!

Skills could not penetrate the black mist—but this fragment passed through it without the slightest obstruction.

This time, it did not trigger any special power, yet that very fact made it extraordinarily effective!

Maurice could not sense the fragment piercing through the black fog. By the time he reacted, the shard—like a flying blade—had already pierced straight through his Godform.

To his utter disbelief, even the Blackwater Aegis around his body was sliced open by the fragment!

The agonizing pain of being pierced through made his Godform tremble violently, and the Dark Descent he had cast earlier immediately collapsed.

"Everyone—run!"

Raine roared.

The powerful soundwave jolted Abby and the other human prodigies out of their stunned daze.

Though they had no idea what exactly had happened, they hesitated for not even a moment. The instant they heard the shout, they activated their techniques and fled at full speed.

At that very moment, Raine reached Maurice.

Bewitching Eye—activate!

An invisible mental ripple slammed into Maurice’s consciousness, making his entire body shudder and locking him into a brief moment of rigidity.

Raine swung the Thunder Prison Blade.

Crack!

A crisp sound of a neck snapping rang out.

Maurice’s head flew high into the air!

[Ding! Killed a Blackwater Clan Master-level expert. Bloodstone +22,185!]

[Ding! Obtained Blackwater Clan Legendary bloodline art: Dark Descent...]

Raine grabbed the ownerless Divine Relic crystal sphere with his bare hand and immediately fled at maximum speed.

He did not even spare the time to kill the other alien prodigies and their guardians, instead escaping at his absolute limit.

Because the moment Maurice died, his guardian would definitely go berserk!

He would stop at nothing to kill Raine.

At that point, even Senior Borm might find it difficult to hold off a completely insane opponent of the same rank!

Moreover—

They had been fighting for so long, with such massive commotion. If the Gargoyle Clan experts sensed it, escape would become even harder.

Kill and run—let the Blackwater Clan choke on blood!

The other alien prodigies and alien beasts had not even figured out what was happening when they saw Raine vanish without a trace.

When they turned their heads, they witnessed a scene so unbelievable that their minds froze.

With his Godform shattered, Maurice’s headless body fell straight down from the sky like a puppet with its strings cut.

The alien prodigies gulped audibly, their figures stiff as if petrified.

Even the guardians of the various races were left breathless, forgetting to give chase.

Maurice’s servant stood there blankly, like a soulless puppet, staring at the falling remains.

"It’s over... something huge is going to happen now!"

A Lavafolk prodigy’s lips trembled.

Maurice was the prodigy the Blackwater Clan had cultivated with all their strength—their lifeline. And yet he had been killed here!

The Blackwater Clan would not just feel heartache.

They would truly vomit blood. They would go completely mad!

Dead silence lasted for several breaths.

"AAAH—!"

The quasi-Epic guardian finally lost all reason!

His eyes were bloodshot, and every inch of his body was enveloped in icy killing intent.

He immediately burned his Nex, launching a berserk assault on Borm...

After forcing Borm back, he charged like a crazed beast toward the direction Raine had fled.

The entire Koshi Range seemed to explode into chaos.

"Human trash!"

"Come out! Get out here—now!"

He roared like a mad dog, smashing mountains along the way with punch after punch.

Borm’s gaze flickered. He immediately slipped into the void and vanished from the spot.

Raine had already hidden deep within the mountains.

Abby and the other human prodigies were utterly shaken, all retreating into the forests and suppressing their auras.

"By the gods... what happened?"

"Why did Maurice’s guardian go insane?"

A human prodigy stared in shock at the frenzied quasi-Epic expert rushing past.

"If nothing unexpected happened, the battle should be over..."

"And..."

The speaker stopped halfway, but everyone else’s hearts instantly began to pound.

"Don’t tell me... Maurice really got taken out?"

Someone swallowed hard. The others felt suffocated.

They looked toward the direction of the great battle—it seemed extremely likely.

Otherwise, why would a perfectly sane guardian suddenly go on a mad rampage?

...

On the other side of the mountains.

Borm tore open space and stepped out, arriving above the rock where Raine was hiding.

Raine grinned broadly.

He casually lifted Maurice’s head and shook it in front of Borm.

The sight made Borm’s lips twitch.

At the same time, he felt genuine joy for Raine from the bottom of his heart.

This was a prodigy who had emerged from the Seventh Division, Scarlet Wall Patrol—something that filled him with immense pride.

Killing an alien prodigy meant eliminating a future great enemy of the human race. In a sense, this was even more exhilarating and meaningful than capturing a Crimson City!

If news of this spread back to the front lines, every human soldier would be electrified with excitement.

Seeing that Raine was uninjured, Borm nodded and stepped back into the void once more.

As he departed, all vegetation around him quietly withered.

Raine calmed himself and began inspecting the spatial ring he had obtained from Maurice.

Inside were many precious potions, as well as several skill scrolls from the Blackwater Clan.

However, none matched the top-tier techniques Maurice had used.

Clearly, these were not the clan’s core inheritances.

"It seems the stronger one is, the higher their status, the more secretive the core skills and arts become."

Raine understood the reason.

For prodigies like Maurice, the inheritances were the Blackwater Clan’s deepest secrets, often passed down through bloodline memory or special methods—extremely difficult for outsiders to obtain.

It was a pity.

If he could acquire the core inheritances of the alien races, not only would his strength increase, he might even find ways to counter each race.

"Hm? What’s this?"

Raine took out another item from the ring.

It was a piece of jade, within which an ancient, mysterious rune was sealed.

With a thought, the system immediately responded.

[Sealed Amber: Can seal inheritances and ancient divine runes, immune to the erosion of time. Cannot be broken by anything below an ancient Divine Relic. Elementary divine object. Can be used as a Law Seed.]

Raine’s eyes lit up.

He hadn’t expected that the amber itself was already a divine object!

Then the value of what was sealed inside went without saying.

An ancient divine rune sealed using a divine object as its vessel—its worth was surely astonishing.

It simply required an ancient Divine Relic to break it open.

No wonder Maurice had kept it stored away without using it.

But didn’t Maurice possess a Divine Relic crystal sphere?

Raine took out that piece of loot.
