Blood Assimilation

237 Penalty

Randy continued hunting the magical beasts that fled away, up until he couldn’t sense anymore of them around a 100-meter radius around himself. Only then did he stop his pursuit, as venturing any further into the forest might be too dangerous for the current enfeebled him.

As Randy was about to turn to leave, he was instantly bombarded with lines of glowing text in his field of vision from his system.

All this time, he hadn’t seen any notification from his system, not even when he killed so many magical beasts enough to create a small mountain, and he was worried about losing out on his reward, but he didn’t bother to ask about it in the middle of his slaughter.

However, seeing the glowing lines of white text in front of his eyes, he quickly read through them in anticipation, as this was the sole reason why he even bothered chasing after those surviving magical beasts.

[[You have killed a plethora of weak magical beasts without mercy even though they were truly weaker than you]]

[[As the opponents were much weaker than you, the system would like to establish a penalty of not receiving any divine points, as the recurrence of the current conduct would compromise the privilege of the lives of all the species that you will encounter in the future]]

[[However, as this was your first time committing such a massacre against weaklings, and also judging by the fact that there were many of them, and you’re also in a slightly weakened state, you will be rewarded with all the divine points harvested this time without any deduction]]

‘So... Are you saying that I can’t kill any creature weaker than me to harvest divine points?’

Randy was slightly puzzled, as this was the first time that he was reading about this. At least that was what he thought.

.....

Although for some reason, he felt like the system had mentioned it before in a different way, he doesn’t remember it at the moment. Hence why he was puzzled by this discovery.

Most likely, he was affected by his mental state being exhausted from his previous fight.

[[That is indeed the case]]

“Then what about knowledge points?” Randy then asked.

[[Knowledge points can only be obtained from high-level lifeforms with immense intelligence. Most lifeforms, despite being immensely strong with unparalleled combat strength, do not possess much intelligence, so there would be no knowledge points to be extracted from such lifeforms in the first place]]

Randy pondered for a moment and then said: “I guess that makes sense.”

If the system hadn’t established such rules, then he would most likely kill off any and all creatures he comes across to accumulate both knowledge and divine points since it was easier and less risky that way.

However, with this rule of hunting those stronger than him, he would have to work harder to kill his opponents, but that only meant that the rewards would be bountiful.

“Ah. Then what about those with the same level of strength as me? Will it also be affected by this rule?” Randy suddenly asked in confirmation.

[[Those with the same combat strength and combat power as you do not count, as they could also kill you in case you let your guard down during combat]]

Randy sighed in relief when heard this, and he then concluded: “That makes things less of a hassle then. I should probably stick to those as strong as me to harvest both knowledge and divine points for now.”

“...” Randy suddenly felt a jolt in his brain after a moment of silence.

‘Wait! Now I remember! The system didn’t talk about the divine points until now, however, I remember that it mentioned this restriction when I was hunting magic beasts for knowledge points in my world.’

Randy finally recalled why he felt like he had the system’s warning before.

Shortly after, the system displayed how much knowledge and divine points he harvested this time in on his status screen.

After a quick glance at the divine points and knowledge points section on his status screen, Randy smiled in satisfaction.

Sure enough, it was quite a bountiful harvest without a doubt.

However, the amount he received from hunting a single magical beast wasn’t as much as compared to the amount he received from hunting those two demons separately, so it did not make him that happy. Regardless, the total amount was higher than the two demons combined since he hunted down more than 150 magical beasts.

The green-clothed young woman actually managed to hunt down about half of the magical beast before his intervention. Otherwise, he would’ve received more divine points and knowledge points.

That aside, Randy was still pleased with the outcome.

The corners of Randy’s lips curled into a smile when he thought of the total harvest this time. Once he returns to the city, he would sort them out then, and also try spending some points on some things that he kept for a while now.

Subsequently, he went back where he came from, as he intend to complete his request with the number of magical beasts that he hunted.

However, as he passed by the location where he fought the first wave of the magical beasts, he found out that the green-clothed young woman was no longer there.

‘I guess she went after her comrades. I should also head back to the Society building and mark the completion of my first request.’ Randy silently thought.

“Haah...” Randy suddenly sighed and muttered: “It has been a hectic day. So many things happened on this request. I wonder if it would be like this from now on.”

Randy recalled the events that transpired today with a bitter smile as he had been getting into trouble lately for some reason.

A moment later, he shook his head and proceeded forward, as he wanted to return to his room as soon as possible and relax on his bed after such a tiring day.

Although he appeared calm all the time, mentally, he was exhausted, as he had to spend so much of his brainpower to strategize for his perilous situation, and then also expended too much energy to finally defeat those demons.

Furthermore, while he wasn’t hurt badly after the fight, he was still left fatigued.

However, it wasn’t at the level where he would collapse at any moment, but it was still there.

As such, he wanted to end the day earlier even though it was only the afternoon currently.

Regardless, today wasn’t without its rewards, as he not only acquired an incarnation, albeit defective, he still managed to accumulate an abundant amount of both knowledge and divine points, enough to last him for a while if nothing unexpected happens.
