NOVEL WEB Chapter 133: What The Hell?!
Star slowly opened her eyes, a look of pure shock on her face.
"I... I absorbed all the stones and broke through to the fifth stage of the Celestial rank!" she exclaimed, jumping to her feet in disbelief.
BOOOM!!
A thunderous explosion echoed through the air, causing her to freeze. She looked ahead to see Sunny enveloped in a massive pillar of shimmering purple light:
"Huh?" Star watched, mesmerized, as Sunny's tail severed itself and vanished, only to be replaced by a new one—a serpentine tail ending in a sharp, menacing blade.
WHOOSH.
The surrounding force field shattered and dissipated, and with it, the mercenaries that had protected her.
"....?!"
Star's eyes widened: "What the?!"
BOOM!
She whipped her head around to see a colossal wave of energy hurtling toward her from Sunny's direction. She instinctively crossed her arms in a defensive posture.
BAM!
The energy blast slammed into her, pushing her back three steps. Star stared at Sunny in shock as a wave of pure killing intent washed over her, forcing her to her knees.
"Such strong Killing intent?!" she whispered, her face going pale.
"Should we go and rescue Ellen?" she cautiously asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Sunny slowly rose to his feet, his eyes now a radiant gold, and stared at her over his shoulder:
"No… there's something we need to investigate." He held up a hand, his red claws glinting in the dim light.
"Then, I will kill that bastard," Sunny added, as the terrifying aura of a Demi-god rank, stage 10, burst from him.
'A Demi-god rank?! Such terrifying cultivation speed… It seems the King is back to his peak self,' Star thought, slowly getting to her feet.
"What are we investigating?"
"Come with me." Sunny snapped his fingers, and Star was instantly lifted into the air. With a single burst of speed, the two shot into the sky, heading East.
'East? Where are we going east when Ellen is held in another location?' she thought, but held her tongue.
Sunny, hearing her thoughts remained silent, remembering all of Ellen's memories:
'Thanks to my fourth Bloodline, I can now get EXP from my subordinates' kills, while they get stronger in return. Star could enter the fifth stage because of this boost. But the best skill this Bloodline unlocked is the ability to see and hear through the senses of my marked subordinates, which helped me get into Ellen's mind and know everything about her past… and the... Second Tree.'
He increased his speed, tearing through the air like a bullet, with Star following closely behind.
'I can only use this god-class skill on people whose blood I have drunk. At the moment, only Josephine and Ellen.' He stared into the distance, seeing two Giants mindlessly walking around:
'With my current strength, I now know these Giants' weaknesses.'

'Spirit energy… This energy works like Celestial energy, but it's a hundred times stronger. Those from the upper and great worlds all have Spirit energy, but Ellen and Jinx have both Celestial and Spirit energy. That's why Ellen could kill a giant with any arrow; because these arrows are created with her energy. And when I use my Bloodline transformation, my Celestial energy transforms into Spirit energy. This simply means we in the lower world are a lot weaker than those in the higher world… I wonder if there's a way to visit those worlds.'
He turned his head forward, spotting the cave entrance in the distance. Sunny slowed down and landed on the ground. Star collapsed behind him, retching.
"Are you okay?" Sunny asked, a note of worry in his voice.
"Yes… I just… The speed," she managed, wiping her lips. "I am okay."
Sunny nodded. "Stay here."
"What?!" Star looked at him in shock.
"I don't know what's inside. Although you're a Celestial rank now, you aren't ready to kill Giants." He said.
'I can use Spirit energy because of my Bloodlines. Wait… I gave her one of my Bloodlines, maybe she could use Spirit energy?'
{Yes master, Subordinate Star could use Spirit energy, but only during her transformation.}
'That is good, but the restriction here is holding her back…' He nodded:
"Stay here and stabilize your powers." With that, he turned and walked away, not looking back.
Star stood there, stunned, watching him disappear into the dark cave.

'So all temporary Mercenaries were upgraded into Created Mercenaries… And I have four transformations… But my stats are off the charts! If Patrick sees me now…' He chuckled, his laugh echoing in the dark cave.
Sunny walked for several minutes before reaching a huge chamber. He blinked, staring in shock.
"What the hell?!"
