Chapter 84 - Chapter 85

  Chapter 85 A Surge in Strength

  This harvest was just too great!

  After staring at the system panel for a while, Aoki finally began to allocate his attribute points.

  First were the attribute points, a total of 6 free attribute points.

  There was no need to hesitate; following the principle of "keeping attributes as balanced as possible," he completed the allocation in less than two seconds, and his aura suddenly intensified.

  Aoki was already very familiar with this process and didn't pay any extra attention to it.

  Next were the skills.

  "Devouring Demons" gained 1 free skill point, leveling up 3 times gained 3 skill points, "Upper Moon's Doomsday" rewarded 3 skill points, plus the remaining 1 skill point.

  "Otherworldly Demons" now had a total of 8 free skill points!

  However, choosing which skill to learn was simple.

  Currently, only level 5 "Demon Blood" could be learned.

  [All attributes +1.]

  Aoki's aura surged again, and the surrounding air seemed to become oppressive.

  At the same time, a certain limit seemed to have been broken; he felt as if he had undergone a baptism, completely evolved, and even had the feeling that he had become another kind of creature.

  "As expected, Level 5 'Demon Blood' has already broken through the initial limits. I should no longer be afraid of being decapitated by the Nichirin

  Blade. I really look forward to the day I can overcome the sunlight." Aoki snapped out of his reverie and returned his attention to the system panel.

  He hadn't forgotten that his "Martial Artist" skill had also leveled up, allowing him to learn a new skill.

  Without much hesitation, Aoki directly chose "Body Control."

  It was simple.

  This time, his attributes increased by 11 points. Combined with the 3 attribute points he gained from leveling up a few days ago, his attributes surged by 14 points within a week, with all attributes increasing by 3 to 4 points.

  This improvement was terrifying.

  It was enough to make him lose control of his already mastered power once again.

  With his current combat awareness and skills, plus the assistance of "Transparent World," it wouldn't be difficult for him to regain his former proficiency. However, with "Body Control," it would be even easier.

  As for "Unyielding Will," it's a combat skill.

  With his current strength, he doesn't really need it.

  At this point, all attribute points and skill points were used up, and the system panel was refreshed.

  Aoki stared at the familiar system panel, unable to look away.

  All attributes exceed 22 points!

  Can Muzan Kibutsuji's attributes really reach such high levels?

  Level 5 Demon Blood, decapitation by the Nichirin Blade is ineffective; from now on, only the sun can kill him.

  Level 2 Space Travel, allowing him to travel freely throughout the world.

  Transparent World, revealing all enemy movements.

  Level 2 Demon Devouring, every strike against demons inflicts true damage.

  Incredibly powerful!

  Now, even facing Muzan Kibutsuji, he dares to fight.

  "What a pity, still a little short,"

  Aoki thought, looking at the system panel, his ambition growing.

  The "White Demon" skills are almost maxed out; currently, only "Transparent World" at level 2 and "Demon Blood" at level 6 can be upgraded.

  He still has 4 skill points left, seemingly a considerable amount.   

  However, learning level 2 "Transparent World" requires 5 skill points, and learning level 6 "Demon Blood" requires a whopping 6.

  He can't learn either.

  "Level 6 Demon Blood should be enough to overcome the sun, right?" A glimmer of hope appeared in Aoki's eyes.

  Although he hadn't obtained the Blue Spider Lily, there was still hope of overcoming the sun.

  The maximum level for "Oni" is 20.

  Even without considering the benefits of "Demon Devouring," he could still gain 2 skill points, enough to learn level 6 "Demon Blood."

  However,

  those two skill points might not be so easy to obtain.

  At level 14, the experience gain was already so low; now he was level 18, the result was predictable.

  However, he was only less than 3400 experience points away from the maximum level.

  Muzan Kibutsuji was still alive, and there were still four Upper Moons. Even excluding the undeserving Nakime, there were still three genuine Upper Moons.

  This included Kokushibo, one of the Upper Moons second only to Muzan Kibutsuji.

  Even with just Muzan Kibutsuji and the Upper Moons, he could probably accumulate enough experience to reach the maximum level, right?

  Aoki didn't think much of it.

  Now was the time to enjoy the harvest, no need to worry about those headaches.

  This harvest wasn't over yet.

  "The End of the Upper Moons" also rewarded him with a physical item.

  Based on past experience, these items might not necessarily increase his combat power, but they could bring him great convenience.

  "Bat Wings!"

  Aoki murmured, and with a thought, a palm-sized item resembling bat wings suddenly appeared in his hand. It was entirely black, exquisitely crafted, and felt like real skin to the touch.

  At the same time, a message flooded his mind: an introduction to the Bat Wings and how to use them.

  "Try it!"

  Aoki turned his head 180 degrees back, and his arms also bent backward in a strange way.

  He raised his arm and swung it lightly.

  Tear!

  Sharp nails sliced through flesh, leaving a huge wound on his back.

  Then, with his other hand, he picked up the Bat Wings and pressed them against the wound.

  Strands of flesh and blood oozed from the wound, seeping into the bat wings. The wings and his flesh gradually merged, leaving only a faint mark.

  "Seems like it's working!"

  Aoki checked it over, making sure nothing was missing, and then a thought struck him.

  Whoosh!

  A pair of enormous wings burst forth from his back, their wingspan exceeding four meters when fully open.

  A glint of light flashed in Aoki's eyes. He turned his head forward, gently flapped his wings, and instantly soared into the sky.

  Flight!

  That's right, the function of the bat wings was flight!

  Aoki's eyes shone brightly as he flapped his wings, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes gliding close to the ground, thoroughly enjoying himself.

  He could move in the air using "space travel," but it was completely different from the feeling of flying freely like this.

  It was fast and incredibly agile.

  Even on his first use, he felt no lack of skill, as if he truly had wings.

  Aoki quickly discovered that the bat wings weren't simply about flapping air to achieve flight.

  This thing wasn't very scientific.

  At least, the power generated by flapping its wings far exceeded what it should have been.

  He didn't delve into it.

  The system item itself wasn't very scientific.

  The sun hat could completely block sunlight, but from the outside, it looked no different from an ordinary hat.

  As long as it worked, that was enough.
