SSS Ranked Awakening: All My Skills Are at Level 100-Chapter 126: Second Wife

Leon watched them eat. The cauldron was enough to feed two hundred people. While they were busy savoring the soup—slurp...gulp—Leon secretly filled the other two cauldrons of the same size with more soup.

Letting them eat as much as they want... but this is only the beginning.

He also knew that there were people in the underground sewer system—more than what was visible on the surface—and its entrance was located within this space, as a metallic, circular, enclosed opening could be seen in the middle, where people were currently sitting.

He could understand why people were not up here, as there was nearly not enough space in this prison for all of them to be above ground.

What is this weird feeling I’m getting from time to time...

From the moment he had entered this place, he had been getting a strange feeling every few seconds.

His natural 50-meter spatial awareness, which he kept up all day, didn’t pick up anything, so he decided to use a bit of his mana and conducted a 100-meter search around him.

He still didn’t find anything that could be causing the feeling.

But then the sensation of being watched hit him again. A faint chill prickled across the nape of his neck, and the hairs on his arms rose involuntarily. He spent even more mana, and this time he was going to send his spatial awareness 200 meters around him in a burst.

He still hadn’t detected anything strange.

What is happening? Is this just a false alarm? He wondered, the bitter taste of caution rising in his throat.

Keeping an eye on him from more than 200 meters away was not something anyone could do. The image of a certain platinum blonde-haired woman flashed in his mind.

But he didn’t think too much about it now. This time, he extended a 300-meter scan of the surroundings. The most he could send in terms of spatial awareness was 400 meters—not because of his control, but because his mind couldn’t keep up with the information. It would start to hurt at 400.

He didn’t dare go further than that, especially after Seraphine had told him that a large influx of information at once could even explode one’s brain in the case of learning a skill. This might not be much different.

He scanned the area. The information on every single detail within a 300-meter radius came flooding in.

For a few seconds, he didn’t find anything. No human was detected who seemed to be keeping an eye on them.

But then he noticed something strange—a bird that seemed to be in the same place during both scans.

He now understood why he was getting that feeling. Someone was spying on him through the bird. He had read about beast tamers in the Lin Fang journal—this was the first time he had encountered one. He was sure that bird wasn’t normal. He detected faint traces of mana from it.

It wasn’t that the one spying on him was far away—it was within the 200-meter range. The issue was that he hadn’t suspected the bird the first time.

Leon didn’t know much about what that crow could do in the sky, so he knew he had only one chance to kill it—or it might escape.

I will make sure it dies in one hit.

Crk... Secretly, around his finger, a bullet-shaped object made out of ice was being formed—crrshh—the frost condensing in spirals as mana pulsed with intensity. The mana used to form the bullet was tens of times more than what was required to create a normal one made of ice.

Seraphine detected the large influx of mana around the area coming from Leon. She noticed that a small bullet made of ice was secretly forming around his hand. She didn’t say anything but felt curious to see what he was going to do with it, as the mana used to make that thing wasn’t small for her—probably around two-thirds of her entire reserve.

That wasn’t all, as the Wind element was also being used to wrap around the bullet to cancel out air resistance during flight—whoooosh...

Leon, from the corner of his eyes, could see the crow still circling above the prison. He had activated his spatial awareness around a 200-meter radius—not in a burst, but sustained.

Fshhh! His mana surged inside his body as he activated his Mana Body Enhancement at grandmaster rank. As a transcendent, it exuded a natural pressure—for unawakened and weak people around him, it could be lethal if he used it carelessly.

His hand blurred—shhk!—and his two fingers aimed at the crow. His movements were too fast, and all of this happened in less than a second—from conjuring the bullet to launching it.

BZZZTT! A streak of blue tore across the air at blinding speed, almost like a line of lightning etched into the sky. The crow didn’t even realize what had hit it before—BOOOOM!—a massive blast erupted upon impact, obliterating it completely into a cloud of feathers and smoke.

Inside the royal palace of the Kingdom of Champagne...

In one of the luxurious rooms, sitting on a luxurious chair, was a woman with black hair and red eyes. Her legs were crossed, and an angered look was on her face as she was watching someone feed those disgusting things she had carefully planned to get rid of.

This was going to be the present she was going to show the king. She had intentionally cut off the food supply meant to keep those beggars alive inside their cage until the people from the higher domain were gone.

Yet she took the chance and planned to clean up the city from the filth. The king would definitely appreciate this in her mind, and surely her standing in the court would increase.

She couldn’t remain in the position where she was right now. Her son wouldn’t get the chance to take the throne if all of this remained like this.

She would always have to remain his second wife.

That lustful bastard doesn’t even know that blonde-haired bitch keeps him under her control...

She still remembered the night she invited the king to attend to her, yet he refused—saying he had decided to spend the night with that bitch, only to later spend it with some concubine of his. She had witnessed how clearly the queen made an excuse to send him away.

That day she realized her place could never be equal to hers, no matter how much she tried. She needed her son to become the king if she wanted to let that manipulating woman know her place.

And to achieve that, she could do anything. She couldn’t love a man who couldn’t love her fully. So what if it wasn’t love but power? Once she had it, she would deal with all of them. Her torture chamber was already ready—for both the king, her husband, and the queen.

Now this woman Seraphine—pretending to be noble, trying to play the good role—was actively ruining everything she had orchestrated. That interference would not be forgiven.

The moment the crow was obliterated by Leon, everything snapped inside the room. The black-haired woman’s vision spun. Mana backlash struck like lightning. Blood splattered on her gown as she slumped forward, gasping.

"W-What the hell was that!? Who interfered with my link?"
