Tribal Lord: SSS Ranked Taming Primitive Beauties and The Beasts! Chapter 47
"Tribe Lord..." Vakra scratched his head and called Ash awkwardly.
Ash rolled his eyes, knowing what he was after when he called him.
"You’ll have your turn later, stop bothering me." Ash waved his hand in annoyance.
Vakra smiled in embarrassment and finally retreated, blending with the others again.
After both of them finished with their rank advancement, they bowed toward Ash and expressed their gratitude, but he just waved his hand dismissively and told them to not be that formal with him since they were now one family.
Subsequently, Ash looked at Vakra and the others for a moment, thinking which one he should upgrade.
After calculating for a bit, he decided to upgrade Vakra and Rokhan first.
"Increase Vakra and Rokhan’s stats to maximum first!" Ash ordered the system.
[Ding! 15,750 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have increased Vakra’s stats to maximum, adding 300 stats in total!]
[Ding! 8,750 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have increased Rokhan’s stats to maximum, adding 300 stats in total!]
Vakra and Rokhan immediately felt that their strength was increased significantly as streams of energy filled their bodies.
A few seconds later, just as they finished adjusting their power. Another massive amount of energy suddenly flooded into his body the moment Ash ordered the system. "Upgrade Vakra and Rokhan’s ranks!"
[Ding! 25,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Vakra has successfully broken through to the 5th Rank Warrior.]
[Ding! 25,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Rokhan has successfully broken through to the 5th Rank Warrior.]
The others opened their eyes wide in surprise since Ash upgraded 4 people to 5th Rank at once.
"Draven, Boruk..." Ash called two people out since these two people were actually the people he had known for a long time, as they were the original people from the Ragh’Tal Tribe.
"Prepare yourself." Ash smiled and ordered the system. "Upgrade Draven and Boruk’s ranks!"
[Ding! 8,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Draven has successfully broken through to the 4th Rank Warrior.]
[Ding! 8,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Boruk has successfully broken through to the 4th Rank Warrior.]
Both of them instantly closed their eyes and sat cross-legged, trying to stabilize their rank as an enormous amount of energy poured into their bodies.
A few moments later, just as they finished stabilizing themselves, they felt another round of energy poured into their bodies after Ash finished giving orders to the system. "Increase their stats to maximum."
[Ding! 11,250 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have increased Draven’s stats to maximum, adding 450 stats in total!]
[Ding! 12,500 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have increased Boruk’s stats to maximum, adding 500 stats in total!]
A few seconds later, Ash directly upgraded their ranks without even giving them a chance to breathe. "Upgrade their ranks!"
[Ding! 25,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Draven has successfully broken through to the 5th Rank Warrior.]
[Ding! 25,000 Tribal Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host! Boruk has successfully broken through to the 5th Rank Warrior.]
Boom!
A violent surge of aura erupted from both of them simultaneously.
After Draven and Boruk successfully stabilized their breakthrough, Ash felt that the pressure had been reduced significantly, as he had created six 5th Ranks in a short span of time.
Ash chuckled lightly as he waved his hand dismissively. "Let’s move!"
While on his way to Old Ni’s location, Ash was depressed when he checked his points, as he actually became broke again.
[Tribal Points: 89 ] [System Points: 800,000]
’When will I ever have a lot of points without them being spent right away?’ Ash sighed as he thought to himself.
...
In the jungle, Old Ni and the others were already waiting.
The faint tremors coming from the meadow indicated that the Lizardmen had discovered the deaths of their four 5th Rank Elites. Several powerful auras were converging at their stronghold.
Boom!
Six overwhelming pressures descended upon the battlefield as Ash and the newly upgraded 5th Ranks arrived.
Old Ni glanced back briefly and nodded his head.
"Nine remaining." Ash stepped forward calmly, then he waved his hand as he collected the 4 corpses.
Ash looked around at the surroundings that were destroyed because of the aftermath and said. "Let’s wrap this up as quickly as possible, I’m already bored since I can’t do anything in this shithole."
However, just as they moved for a hundred meters, Ash remembered something and asked Old Ni. "How many more times will you be able to handle it?"
"Probably a few more times." Old Ni smiled faintly.
"Alright, don’t force yourself if you can’t handle it anymore." Ash nodded, thinking about Old Ni’s condition. If he were to go all out and just replenish his mana from time to time, it would only take a toll on his body.
He then spent the rest of his system points to buy more potions, as the newly 5th-ranked didn’t have them yet.
[Ding! 400,000 System Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have successfully purchased x4 5th Rank Healing Potion.]
[Ding! 200,000 System Points have been successfully deducted.]
[Ding! You have successfully purchased x2 5th Rank Mana Potion.]
He distributed one Healing and Mana Potions each to the six people and opened the shop.
’Tch, I’m genuinely broke as fuck now,’ Ash thought to himself and sold three of the four 5th Rank monster cores to the system since he wanted to buy five 4th Rank weapons for the newly upgraded 5th Ranks except for Vakra.
[Ding! You have converted Three 5th Rank Monster Core.]
[Ding! You have obtained 300,000 System Points.]
After he bought five blue cards and distributed them, he looked depressed as he looked at his own points.
[Tribal Points: 89 ] [System Points: 0]
To comfort himself, he exchanged the last 5th Rank monster cores to the system just so that he would at least have something to see.
[Ding! You have converted One 5th Rank Monster Core.]
[Ding! You have obtained 100,000 System Points.]
...
The meadow trembled violently as ten 5th Ranks burst out of the forest simultaneously.
The lizardmen stronghold had already entered full combat readiness. Wooden palisades were reinforced, and more than a hundred 4th Rank Lizardmen formed tight defensive formations outside the gates.
Behind them—Nine terrifying 5th Rank auras rose into the sky.
The Lizardmen leader stepped forward.
He was massive, almost four meters tall, covered in dark crimson scales with thick bone-like protrusions along his shoulders. A massive halberd rested in his grip.
His golden eyes scanned the approaching group, then he roared loudly.
The Leader’s roar tore through the meadow like thunder rolling across a storm-filled sky.
The wooden palisades behind him trembled.
The more than one hundred 4th Rank Lizardmen tightened their formation, shields interlocked, spears angled forward like a wall of fangs. Behind them, nine 5th Rank Lizardmen released their auras without restraint.
Ten 5th Ranks from Ash’s group stood calmly. No one was even bothered with the sight in front of them.
Old Ni took a single step forward. That step seemed light, yet the moment his foot touched the ground.
Boom!
An invisible pressure expanded outward as he used his (Sword Domain) skill.
The surroundings changed instantly, the air grew heavy and the wind seemed to slow down. Even the grass bending under the breeze seemed to move in delayed motion.
The more than one hundred 4th Rank Lizardmen suddenly felt their bodies sink as if submerged in thick mud. Their reactions dulled by a fraction of a second.
To ordinary warriors, a fraction of a second meant nothing. But for someone like Old Ni, it meant an important opportunity.
Old Ni’s eyes narrowed, raising Cinderfall Sovereign slightly before unleashing his (Sever the Line) skill.
He did not swing wildly and unleashed a massive crescent. Instead, he compressed the attack into a single thin line.
Swoosh!
A razor-thin streak of condensed sword energy tore forward.
The front line of 4th Rank Lizardmen widened their eyes. They tried to raise their shields and counters but it was too late for the first line of lizardmen as the thin line reached them and continued.
A single line passed the first line of defense and only the second line lizardmen blocked the attack as they used all of their strengths.
For a brief second, nothing happened but then a loud bang sound was made from the attempt to block the attack and only at this time that bodies of the lizardmen in the first line defense were split cleanly in half and blasted away forward from the collision.
Unfortunately for them, their attempt failed miserably as a few dozen 4th Rank Lizardmen were sliced apart in a perfectly straight line, their upper bodies sliding slowly off their lower halves.
Blood sprayed into the air like red rain and the formation collapsed instantly.
Shock rippled across the remaining Lizardmen ranks to the point that even the 5th Ranks frowned.
Old Ni’s breathing became slightly heavier because that single compressed Sever the Line had consumed nearly all of his mana.
Without hesitation, he suddenly uncorked the 5th Rank Mana Potion and gulped it down in one go.
His depleted core refilled at an astonishing speed.
Before the Lizardmen could reorganize, Old Ni made a move again as he instantly vanished into thin air and appeared ten meters ahead.
