Tribal Lord: SSS Ranked Taming Primitive Beauties and The Beasts! Chapter 38

[Tribal Points: 24,914] [System Points: 160,000]

Ash’s expression darkened instantly, then he became extremely furious as his Tribal Points were just less than 100 away from being able to upgrade Old Ni’s rank.

Old Ni threw the Cinderfall Sovereign to him and said with an anxious expression. "Do you have any more mana and health potions? If so, please give it to me, I’ll try my best to hold them back or even kill them."

Then he looked at Vakra and Uncle Zan with a serious expression. "One of you carry him and go as far away as possible."

Sigh!

Ash sighed heavily for a moment, feeling pity as he had never expected to use his last trump card in this stupid situation.

’If it weren’t for that bastard... I swear to god, I’ll kill him horribly when I’m back.’ Ash gritted his teeth in anger.

Then he waved his hand when he looked at Old Ni, who looked at him anxiously.

"You don’t need to be that anxious."

He chuckled lightly. "We go inside the dungeon together, we will also leave the dungeon together. Don’t say such stupid things."

Old Ni and the others were puzzled as they had no idea what he meant by saying that and why would he still act calm even after hearing what Old Ni had said.

Ash threw the sword back at Old Ni and smiled faintly. "Prepare yourself, I’m going to upgrade your rank now."

"Use the limitless rank upgrade on Old Ni." Ash ordered the system.

The moment Ash ordered the system, Old Ni was surprised when he felt the familiar yet overwhelming energy suddenly surged into his body.

[Ding! You have used the limitless rank upgrade.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Nirgos has successfully broken through to the 5th Rank Warrior.]

[Ding! You’ve achieved a new record, as Nirgos was the first person from the Ragh’Tal Tribe to reach the 5th Rank Warrior.]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining 5,000 Tribal Points!]

Uncle Zan smiled in relief when he knew that at least they had a chance now, since Old Ni had become the 5th Rank.

As Old Ni was still adjusting his newfound power, Ash remembered something and opened the shop.

[Ding! You have converted twelve Peak 4th Rank Monster Cores.]

[Ding! You have obtained 120,000 System Points.]

[Ding! You have converted twenty Peak 3rd Rank Monster Cores.]

[Ding! You have obtained 20,000 System Points.]

[Ding! 200,000 System Points have been successfully deducted.]

[Ding! You have successfully purchased x2 5th Rank Mana Potion.]

He threw the two small vials at Old Ni and chuckled. "I only have this at the moment, please use it wisely."

Then he continued as he looked at his points. "Well... I do have one last potion and you can choose it between the healing or mana potion."

[Tribal Points: 29,914] [System Points: 100,000]

"Don’t worry, I’ll tell you if I’m really in need of one later." Old Ni nodded with a smile.

Then he vanished into thin air and appeared 50 meters away—just as the 5th Rank Lizardman closed in on their position.

Old Ni stood alone in the lush green forest. Towering trees surrounded him, their thick trunks and dense canopies forming a natural arena.

A massive figure emerged from between the trees.

The 5th Rank Lizardman stepped forward, its towering body standing a little over three meters tall. Lean yet heavily muscled, its dark-green scales were thick and layered like natural armor.

In its hands was a colossal greatsword, nearly 170 centimeters long, the blade almost rivaling Old Ni’s height. The weapon was chipped and battle-worn.

The Lizardman’s slit pupils narrowed. It had been told the enemy was a 4th Rank, though an abnormal one, but still a step below.

Yet the pressure coming from the old man standing calmly before it told a different story.

’The old man has become 5th Rank.’

However, after a brief assessment, its confidence returned as it noticed that Old Ni’s aura was still unstable.

It could feel that Old Ni was extremely strong considering he just became 5th Rank, but he was still weaker compared to it.

With a snort, the Lizardman planted its foot forward, then charged forward,

Old Ni’s eyes sharpened instantly, instantly activating his (Sword Domain) skill.

The world itself seemed to sink as the air thickened unnaturally, pressing down on everything within range.

The Lizardman felt it immediately with its movement faltering right away.

Its limbs grew heavy, as if invisible chains wrapped around its body. The greatsword felt sluggish in its grip, its movements delayed by an oppressive resistance it had never encountered before.

Old Ni didn’t waste the opening.

Mana surged violently from his core as he poured almost everything into a single attack, unleashing (Sever the Line) skill.

He slashed diagonally.

A massive arc of sword energy erupted forward, compressed yet razor-sharp. The Sword Domain amplified it brutally, doubling its lethality, while faint streaks of Inferno Flame clung to its edge, scorching the air itself.

The Lizardman’s pupils shrank.

It roared and swung its greatsword vertically, releasing a crescent-shaped wave of mana straight into the incoming slash.

BOOM!

The two attacks collided violently.

A deafening explosion shook the forest as the shockwave tore outward, uprooting trees and shredding leaves. The ground cracked beneath the impact, and a massive gust of wind swallowed the battlefield.

The Lizardman grunted as it was forced back half a step.

The slash was blocked, but Old Ni didn’t give it a chance to breathe.

He immediately uncorked a 5th Rank Mana Potion and swallowed it in one motion. Mana surged back into his body like a roaring tide.

Before the gust even fully dispersed, he charged forward. His figure burst through the distorted air, appearing before the Lizardman in an instant.

Old Ni raised his sword high and brought it down with his full body weight and momentum as he used his (Iron Weight Slash) skill.

The Lizardman reacted instantly, coating its greatsword in thick mana and bracing it with both hands—one on the grip, the other gripping the blade itself.
