Godly Revival System: I Buy My Killer's Stats

The night in the Berserk Beast Realm was drowned in the eerie glow of the Blood Moon, which cast everything in a sinister crimson hue.

It was filled with a haunting silence, only to be broken by distant howls and the fluttering of unseen wings, as if the land itself was watching, waiting for blood to be spilled.

'Is the leader of the Demonic Blood Bats finally coming out?'

The screech was familiar to the one he heard back when he was in the blood-soaked valley.

Ethan believed that since the Demonic Blood Bats hate light, their leader must also hate light. So, it was finally coming out as soon as the night descended in the Berserk Beast Realm.

'Let's see how powerful this Berserk Beast is.'

Although Ethan didn't dare to enter its den, he was not afraid of it; instead, he just didn't want to take an unnecessary risk in the cave without knowing what he was going to fight.

However, since it was coming out on its own, Ethan had no reason not to fight it as he was excitedly waiting for the leader of the Demonic Blood Bats.

'Screech!'

The ear-piercing cry rang out again, as a massive shadow emerged from the blood-red mist in the sky.

'Huh? It is massive for a Demonic Blood Bat.'

Ethan narrowed his eyes as he saw the true form of the creature that had been hiding deep within the ominous den.

Thud!

The massive figure landed with a bone-rattling impact.

This Demonic Blood Bat was over five meters tall and exuded an overwhelming aura, with its entire body drenched in a sinister, bloody glow.

Its long and razor-sharp fangs gleamed under the dim Blood Moon's light.

When it landed on the ground, its leathery wings carried a chilling gust, making the Spirit Beasts surrounding Ethan tremble in fear.

Overall, the huge Demonic Blood Bat in front of him not only had a scary appearance, but the ominous blood scent it released would make others nauseous.

"I have been waiting for you."

Nevertheless, Ethan stood in front of it with a calm and composed smile, without any fear, and even spoke casually.

"You were waiting for me? But, I have been dying to kill you."

Suddenly, it spoke in a deep voice that echoed through the open field, laced with fury and disdain towards Ethan.

'I-it….can speak?'

Ethan was shocked when he heard the Demonic Blood Bat speak human language and suddenly thought of something.

'Wait a second…is this voice transmission? Isn't that the ability that only Golden Core Cultivators or Special Rank 5 Spirit Beasts have?'

When his thoughts ended, Ethan had a bad feeling in his gut.

"Are you shocked to hear my voice?"

The deep, guttural voice echoed in Ethan's head as it continued,

"It is because I am a Rank 5 Demonic Blood Bat King."

'What? A Rank 5 Demonic Blood Bat King?'

Ethan was really shocked to hear those words because, as far as he knew, there were no Rank 5 Berserk Beasts in the Berserk Beast Realm.

According to Selena, the Greenfire Sect always kills any Berserk Beast that breaks through to Rank 5.

Moreover, she also said that just a couple of days before the Beast Extermination Trial, the Greenfire Sect had sent three Golden Core Realm Cultivators to check for any missing Rank 5 Berserk Beasts.

'Don't tell me that this Demonic Blood Bat King just broke through to Rank 5 today?'

An absurd thought came to his head, making Ethan bitterly smile.

"You dare slaughter my kin?"

Its voice rumbled like distant thunder, filled with killing intent.

"Pathetic human, do you know what you've done?"

Thud

It took a step forward, its talons digging into the ground, leaving a bloody imprint.

"I was in deep slumber, gathering my strength to break through to Rank 6 in a single go and break free from this Berserk Beast Realm.

And yet, because of your foolish rampage, I was forced to awaken ahead of time."

The Demonic Blood Bat King sneered and narrowed its crimson eyes.

"Do you think you're some mighty warrior for culling a few weaklings?"

A low, ominous chuckle escaped its throat before twisting into a growl as it spoke in a threatening tone,

"I will tear you apart for this insult. I will drink your blood to increase my strength, and when I'm done with you, I'll feast on every single Spirit Beast that follows you."

"Are you sure you can do that?"

Ethan was shocked to learn that it was a Rank 5 Demonic Blood Bat King, an existence that was more powerful than him.

However, Ethan was still fearless thanks to his [Predator's Spirit].

At the same time, because of his Special Talent [Infernal Purity Heart], he was able to calmly think of a solution to get out of this situation without dying.

'In the worst-case scenario, I will die, but I can revive again.

So, before that, I will push myself and see whether I can kill this Demonic Blood Bat King.'

Instead of worrying, Ethan was excited about his current situation as he really wanted to see how powerful a Rank 5 Berserk Beast is.

Most importantly, Ethan wanted to see exactly how strong he was and whether he could defeat the Demonic Blood Bat King.

"Everyone, leave from here. Let me take care of this thing."

First, Ethan ordered thousands of Rank 1, Rank 2, and Rank 3 Spirit Beasts around him to leave the open field, which had turned into a battlefield for him and the Demonic Blood Bat King.

'Roar'

There was no contract with those Spirit Beasts; however, Ethan didn't want them to die after working hard for hours to purify them.

So, he ordered them to run away, and the Spirit Beasts also knew they couldn't do anything against a Rank 5 Demonic Blood Bat King and at least didn't want to burden the human who purified them.

Soon, the Spirit Beasts started running away.

"Keke ... no matter where they hide, I can find them, and it's been a long time since I had a proper night hunt.

So, don't worry. After I kill you, I will let you meet them in my stomach."

Although the Demonic Blood Bat King seemed arrogant, it was common for Rank 5 Spirit Beasts and Golden Core Cultivators to be arrogant because they were confident in their skills.

"Let's see."

Ethan was not provoked by the Demonic Blood Bat King's words as he calmly did what he was supposed to do, and it was none other than fighting to the death.

[Sky Shattering Sword Art - Skybreaker Slash]

'Swoosh'

'Swoosh'

Without wasting any time, Ethan released three powerful and sharp sword waves at the Bat that was slowly walking towards him.

"Do you think those tiny wind gusts can injure me?"

The Bat King scoffed at Ethan as it didn't even bother to either block nor dodge the incoming sword waves; instead, it stood still and received those attacks with its body.

'Slash'

'Clang'

'Clang'

As it said, when the sword wave touched its body, there were metallic sounds before they dispersed into thin air.

"What did I say? It is useless…Keke."

The Bat King mockingly laughed at Ethan and arrogantly asked,

"Just stay still and die."

'Swiish'

[Bloody Claw Strike]

Just as it finished its words, the Bat King moved like a phantom, arriving in front of Ethan in a flash and swiping its claw at Ethan.
