BXBX NOVEL Chapter 161 - 161 The Great Freak
"You shouldn\'t have forced my hand, Pretty Lady. It\'s a pity that a great NPC beauty like you has to die by my hands in the end."
Clark looked at the bloody scene and felt no joy whatsoever in what he had done.
The fleeting kiss of death was still fresh in his mind and he never doubted one bit that he would have lost his life should that eerily simple sword strike of this nameless goddess had landed true on his body.
"And i don\'t think that i could have evaded such an ordinary attack at all. Very very peculiar indeed for a 1st Stage Mortal Shedding Realm to bring such threat into my life.
Just who is that woman exactly?" Our bored game paused for one moment before letting go of his curiosity. There was no sense to ask a dead corpse after all.
It was a whole lot better to interrogate someone who has still lips in them to use. But before that, he needed to do something first.
"Let me purchase one stack of mana potions from the system shop, Nancy." Clark asked the system.
"Do you want to purchase a batch of Greater Mana Potion, host?" Nancy clarified since there are many kinds of potions and their respective grades too.
The ranks for potions went on like this:
1. Basic Mana Potion = 100 mana
2. Lesser Mana Potion = 1,000 mana
3. Greater Mana Potion = 10,000 mana
4. Superior Mana Potion = 100,000 mana
.
..
...
And so on and so forth. Our bored gamer had recently bought a stack of Greater Health Potion from before and had given one bottle towards Gu Wenren.
As it was, Clark had only 98 health potions left on his inventory. Not that he needed more of them for that matter. It also did not help that getting them was too pricey for his taste.
"Yes, Nancy. Give me one set of Greater Mana Potion please." Our bored gamer replied to the system\'s query.
He knew that he had to replenish his mana reserve at this time because his automatic summon to create more minions was still ongoing right now.
"Affirmative, host."
"DING! Successfully purchased x99 Greater Mana Potion!"
"Deducted 1,000,000 shop points." Nancy reported the system notifications as they arrived.
"Thank you, Nancy." Clark sighed deeply because he knew that his precious shop points had dwindled to less than one million again in just a span of two days.
He had spent a total of 2 million shop points for both the Greater Health Potion and Greater Mana Potion also.
\'Nah... It was money well spent also. It\'s not like i couldn\'t get more of these shop points given enough time on my side.\'
Clark smiled because he knew that he could average in earning at least 1 million shop points daily today.
\'Let\'s get this show on the road then.\' Clark mused and took one bottle of Greater Mana Potion from his inventory.
It looked a lot like the flask that he had given to Gu Wenren and the only distinction was the color of its contents.
While the Health Potion has some red liquid inside them, the Mana Potion on our good gamer\'s hands took a blue shade from within its transparent container.
"I wonder what this potion tastes like." Clark muttered and without any suspense whatsoever, opened the bottle then poured the mana liquid down his throat.
"Oh shit! This tastes like heaven!" He exclaimed at half pull and could not help but look at the mana potion with extreme wonder on his eyes.
A breath later, he did not need any more invitation as he went on to suck on the bottle like a baby on his mother\'s bosom.
"DAMN! Cultivators really had it best!" Clark roared in delight when he felt the same epic high that he\'d usually get from cultivating.
He could feel that his body burned with an unknown power.
If our bored gamer had been a newbie cultivator today, he could really not tell the difference nor can he discern some subtle truths of the matter at hand.
Luckily enough, Clark could already get a little clue on how the system functioned from within his body.
\'I will get to the bottom of this mystery soon enough.\' Clark vowed and wasted no more time to carry out what he planned to do in the first place.
"Corpse Reincarnation!" Our avid gamer intoned which would basically fulfill what he wanted to know about the dead goddess.
Since everything about her was strange, Clark did not want to waste this chance to better know the mind of his ultimate enemy, an Elder God himself.
A breath.
Two breaths.
And when the third breath has elapsed, the ominous feeling in our protagonist\'s heart escalated in full especially when he could see that the mangled flesh and blood still remained scattered in the cold embrace of space.
"What the fuck is this?!" Clark could not help but curse. There was no activity whatsoever in the sudden graveyard of that nameless woman.
Usually, the dead should have long resurrected by now. That was why it was truly weird that this particular ability did not work upon that beautiful goddess\' remains.
Five breaths of silence ensued until our bored gamer tried to cast his skill again.
"Corpse Reincarnation!" Clark did for the second time in succession and at this time, he was mindful enough to open his character sheet to check for some indicator.

"Strange indeed. I\'m sure that my Class Skill was effectively cast since I could see that my mana reserve has been reduced with each try I did. But how come nothing happened yet?"
Clark pondered and he was at a loss for a moment.
After looking at his character sheet, his thoughts wandered on the reasons why he still has not chosen to spend his skill points in himself.
"Tsk. Tsk. There\'s really no point in doing so. As I am now, I could kill anyone I want.
And even if gods and goddesses would descend from the Divine Realm into this Mortal Realm, I could also slaughter them easily."
Clark shook his head and he remembered that he has also foregone choosing other character classes because of this exact same reason.
In the end, he decided to at least do a third time of doing the same thing again and activate another Corpse Reincarnation right now.
He realized that he was just being stubborn and it would be mere stupidity to persevere in this quest but that has not at all discouraged Clark to be stupid just one more time.
"Maybe i\'ll get lucky this time around."
"Hmmm... So here goes nothing."
"Corpse Reincarnation."
Clark tried something different at this time and instead of shouting the activation phrase out, he muttered them in a bare whisper around the empty cold space that surrounded him and the slaughtered bits and pieces of the nameless goddess.
"FLASH!" The frozen blood moved and the bizarre torn body parts were recalled to form something very much recognizable towards the eyes of everyone in attendance.
One should know that not only Clark witnessed the events unfold before him but perhaps this brief battle has also invited the attention of every capable Immortal in this xianxia world.
Not only that because even in the Divine Realm, there were innumerable gods and goddesses who were currently spying on the present occurrence on this Mortal Realm.
"Hehehe. I finally succeeded! Pheew! I wonder what was wrong in the first two Corpse Reincarnation before this."
Clark was curious to find the answer to this query and was about to ask the system for a complete analysis of what happened.
Alas, before he could utter the first word of his question, our bored gamer was already beset with a new challenge in the form of a beautiful golden armored woman.
"STRIKE!" A deadly sword light flew and its speed was remarkable to say the least. It has not only broken spacetime itself but has also disintegrated a couple of deserted worlds in its path.
"FLASH!" The merciless attack landed true to its target and in the aftermath, a solitary limb was received as second blood between this duel of life and death.
"FUCK ME! It hurts!" Clark roared as he could not believe what he had seen.
He gazed at the nameless goddess in shock and at the left arm that floated alone on the dark expanse of the void.
This was the first time he was ever injured this much since he arrived in this xianxia world and it was really not a good feeling at all.
If he had been a little bit slower in dodging the woman\'s attack, our bored gamer did not doubt that he would have been decapitated with that simple sword strike.
"Hey lady, why are you so violent? Don\'t you know that it\'s better to make love and not war? We should just take a step back and forget this ever happened to us.
Since I already killed you once and you taking my arm in return, this should make us even, right? What do you say?"
Our bored gamer asked as he thought of ways to escape this tribulation. He could see even with his eyes closed that this nameless woman had leveled up in just a short amount of time.
From being at 1st Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm, she has already arrived in the 2nd Stage of the same realm since she resurrected from her death.
Clark was not a fool to think that the two were not connected in any way.
This was why he feared to continue this conflict more than he would have to admit to anyone else before him. And definitely not towards this great freak of a woman.
"It\'s too late to repent now. I only want you to die, Foul Creature!" The nameless goddess replied.
"BANG!" and the war resumed its toll on both its willing and reluctant participants.
