2 days has passed after the incident with the thug's leader and now both King and Calter successfully entered the third stage: energy manipulation and they are close to entering the [Supernatural Rank]

They can now somehow cover their body with energy but it still take some time and a lot of concentration. If they managed to control their energy easily then that would be the time that they would truelly enter the ranks of [Supernatural Being!]

"My Lord, I have confidence now that I can beat those thugs. I will get my revenge now!"

Seeing the resolute look and hearing the determined voice of King, Kence decided to let them take care of those thugs

Even if they can't beat all the thugs, with them being at the 3rd stage now with their body superior than normal human it was not hard for them to flee when danger arise

"Okay, but remember I can't help you when danger come!" Kence reminded them

"Yes, my Lord"

King decided to bring his son Calter with him to fight. He can't just let Calter be protected at all times, that will make his son weak and if something bad happened when he can't help his son there is a high chance that his son will die

This is a good opportunity for him and Calter experience a bloody battle. They need battle experience in this world after all they are not the most powerful creature in the current world that's why they need to compensate it with skills

The father and son duo started walking in the direction of the village but Kence suddenly remembered something

"King, Calter wait!" They both stop in their tracks

"What is it Lord?" King asked respectfully

"Did you already use your skill ticket?"

"Skill ticket? What is that?" King was confused as he didn't know what a skill ticket is

Fuck seriously?! How can they not know of something important as this, this skill ticket is a blessing! You can easily learn skills if you used it. Kence very much want to get the skill ticket of this ignorant father and son duo for his own use, sadly he can't

"Did you not listen to the Voice of The World? It's the neutral sounding one"

"Voice of The World?.... ah! Yeah, we heard something like that but we were to occupy to pay attention to it. My Lord, what is the voice of the world?"

Uhh well, considering what they have been through, I gess even if I were in the same position as them I won't pay attention to the random voice in my mind

"I don't know what the Voice of The World is but it's pretty much like 'system' in those novels and we also have status screen though they don't have numerical value. Say status and you will see a screen like thing" Kence explained

Using their skill ticket to gain skill will make their survival chance higher! He can't just let these two die as he need them for his revenge

"Status" the father and son duo said and a pale blue window appeared in front of them

Name: King (Healthy)

Species: Human (80%) / Soul Tree (20%)

Rank: Normal Rank Creature

Supernatural Skills: Photosynthesis, Absorb

Skill Ticket: 1

Name: Calter (Healthy)

Species: Human (75%) / Soul Tree (25%)oo

Rank: Normal Rank Creature

Supernatural Skills: Photosynthesis, Absorb

Skill Ticket: 1

Since the two has a link on Kence's mind they just send what their status screen looks like to Kence

Kence was not shock to see that they have some of his skills, Bloodline Holder's advantage is the trait and skills they got from the source of their bloodline!

In contrary King and Calter was shocked as they didn't know that they have a skill

"Hmm photosynthesis and absorb are one of my skills. You just need to think that you will activate the skill and it will automatically be done, try it"

King and Calter closed their eyes, focusing their concentration on trying to activate their skills

"[Photosynthesis!]" Calter said and he sense the energy coming from the sun is being absorbed by his body. Strengthening him while also adding to the amount of energy that he has on his body

"[Absorb!]" This time King activated absorb, some root like thing grown from his feet that burrowed into the ground and absorb the nutrients from the soil. Same as Calter, he felt that this nutrients strengthen his body while also the amount of his energy rising

Hmm it seems like their skills are a little bit different from mine, my [Photosynthesis] and [Absorb] are both passive and active skill. It's just that when I don't activately use it, the amount of energy I absorbed is less than when I use it actively but for them to use these skills they must actively activate and control it

"That's good, use your Skill Ticket now and see what skills you would have"

The two stopped their cultivation session to use their Skill Ticket but.... how to use it though?

"U-um My Lord, how do we use the Skill Ticket?" King asked while scratching the back of his head, he felt like he was too ignorant on simple things like this

"Just say 'Use Skill Ticket' or something like that, the Voice of the World will recognize your intention. Use it now" Kence urged them as the stronger they got the more beneficial it is for Kence. After they take their revenge and become stronger he would ask them to hunt some Fallens for him to absorb or even just leading the Fallens to where Kence is and team up to kill it

Oh, as simple as that King thought

'Use Skill Ticket' they both said in their mind

*ding* is Host sure to use Skill Ticket now?

The same tone and question rang out from their minds and they both answered yes

*ding* successfully used Skill Ticket

*ding* Host gained the skill [Harden]

*ding* successfully used Skill Ticket

*ding* Host gained the skill [Energy Bullet]

King gained the skill [Harden] while Calter got the [Energy Bullet]

Harden: The Ability to harden any part of the body

Energy Bullet: The Ability to use Energy as a bullet to attack

As usual, they send their skill and it's description to Kence

Eh? What a simple named ability and even its description was too simply! This really sound like a beginner's skill in a game. Well, whatever as long as they have skills they can use to survive

"Since both of you have skills now I think it would be easy for you to kill normal humans now" Kence said in a simple tone but it made King and Calter uneasy

They are not like Kence who was a former assassin, not to mention a human they never even killed a chicken before! Even though King already killed someone before that was because he was consumed by his rage and didn't know what he is doing

But both of them are smart, in this era being able to kill someone is a must have skill! And killing the people who killed their wife and mother will make it easier for them to get use in killing people

"Thank you, Lord we will depart now. Let's go Calter" and they once again walk towards the village

'Good luck' Kence thought

-----

The subordinates of the thug was feeling uneasy for two days now, their leader went to the forest to kill a single person but until now he didn't come back

These thugs need supernaturals! They are the reason why they can act however they want to in this village and why even though some fallens attacked their village they still managed to survive!

Fortunately, a day after the leader went missing they got a big surprise!

At first King wants to ambush some of the thug first before having a direct confrontation with them but the confidence that their skills gave them caused him to discard that idea and just fight those thugs directly

"Calter, I know you are just kid but your dad can't protect you at all times. You need to become stronger yourself okay?" King does not want his son to get hurt but he can't just let Calter become weak and too dependent on him

"Dad, it's okay I understand" Calter smiled, even though he was just an 8 year old kid he is smart for his age. The experienced that he had when his mother was killed and he and his father almost died made him realized that the society they live in now is different from before. He was too weak to save his mother that is why he does not want to be weak and be helpless again

King's heart ache, he doesn't have a choice but to let Calter matured early. Sigh

They walked to the entrance of the village with King leading the way while Calter was behind him

"BASTARDS COME OUT!!" A loud shout resounded in the small village and everyone was shocked

Who was too audacious to shout in front of their village. Does this people not know that they have supernaturals as guardian?

The villagers peek from their house to see who is provoking their village and they saw a middle-aged man and a child walking

"M-monster!!" Some of them shouted when they saw the features of these two

They both have light green hair, brown lines on their faces and some bark like patches on their arm and legs while their eyes are also light green in color

But immediately some of them recorgnized who these two are. Isn't this King and Calter who run for their lives just 2 days ago? How did they become a monster?

Soon a group of five thugs came out and was also shocked when they saw two monster looking creature but although they are a bit afraid they soon regained confidence as they knew the strength of their leader

Their leader was too powerful!

One of the thugs recognized the two monster and angrily shouted "KING!! HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOURSELF HERE AFTER YOU KILLED MY BROTHER!!" The thug went berserk and attacked King with his knife

This thug was precisely the older brother of the thug that King killed before and seeing King again made him lose his mind and blindly attack King

"[Harden!]" King shouted and activated his skill. He felt his body's defense being stronger than before. King already has his tree bark patches as defense and adding his [Harden] skill made his defense one of the best in this current time!

With his speed being superior to normal humans before the thug can react he already punched the thug on his face

With his strenght and the fact that he already covered his fist with Energy before the thug attacked him, cracking sounds was heard on the thug's skull and he fell down to the ground with blood leaking on his head

King felt nauseous because of this but he immediately composed his self. He cannot be distracted every single time he killed someone!

Seeing the glowing hand of King all the thugs felt fear

"H-he can use Energy!" Only those who are at the last stage of [Normal Rank] and [Supernaturals] can use energy!

This commotion attracted the attention of other thugs and soon groups of two dozens of thugs went to where the scene was taking palace

Seeing this, the 4 remaining thugs regained their confidence

"Brothers Attack!!" They shouted and all the Thugs simultaneously went to attack King

Before the thugs can even get close to King a light green light hit a thug on his chest, blood poured out and just like the first thug he too soon fell down on the floor, dead

They saw a kid at the back of King where a bullet size light green energy were hovering on his palm

"A-another Energy User!" Although they are confronting two Energy users their number gave them confidence and they know that the commotion they brought will attract the attention of other thugs and their vice-leader!

"Dad, I will fight with you" seeing the serious look of Calter, King felt that his son was more matured than him. This made his blood boil, who knew that fighting with his son was a good experience?
