Chapter 60: Voltac
Chapter 60: Voltac
A slim figure wearing white robes jumps off a building and seems to glide in the air majestically, as he lands on the ground gently and calmly.
The figure's face was covered by a black coating that allowed no light to enter.
[Time to join the Voltacs and train while earning spirit coins, so we can get strong and powerful enough to protect Angela and find and help Ella] states Lex within his mind.
"Ashura" he shouts as he draws out his Soul Pet.
He understood what Soul Pets were but didn't know if people could gain them within this reality, so decided that he would permanently leave Ashura out as a real pet while being a Voltac.
[From now on in the Voltiac Guild I am no longer Lex Luther, but am Ashura].
The Voltiac Base was enormous and despite it being in the middle of the night, it was still open. Lex felt tiny as he walked through the large door enough to fit an elephant.
Walking into the guild he could see a large open space with plenty of chairs and tables filled with levellers drinking their sorrows away and having a good time. All of them had a crest attached somewhere on their body, which was a skull with two blades, but they all had different letters varying from F to D.
[So, there are no C-Rankers in this base, but it is to be expected in the outer country as C-Rank Voltacs would be very rich] observes Lex.
There was a counter situated at the entrance with a beautiful young woman at the front.
Lex heads towards her and stood before the counter.
"I want to become a Voltac" he announces, making sure to have made his voice deeper.
Hearing this, the previously loud and rowdy room became silent.
Everyone turned to look at the quite small and slim figure covered in white robes, with a black raven on his shoulder and burst out into laughter. Lex was only fourteen and his height for his age was average, but for an adult, it was quite short.
"Name, LVL, Power or Body Leveller and what kind of Voltac do you want to become," states the woman ignoring the laughter of the other Voltacs.
"Ashura, LVL 1 Power Leveller, Complete Voltac," replies Lex unfazed by the laughter.
Voltacs could be split into three categories: Assassins, Mercenaries and Hunters, where complete Voltacs would accept any mission of their rank.
The woman was surprised by the figure before and couldn't see his face, but could see from the way he stood that he was serious.
"Interesting, Ashura are you sure you want to be a complete Voltac, that would mean being an assassin and would have to get blood on your hands, I don't think you can handle that," she says trying not to laugh.
Lex's patience was only able to calm him so much and he knew he had to prove himself or he would never get any of the missions he wants.
Withdrawing a normal sword from his inventory he slashes at the woman's neck who although wasn't a powerful leveller, was still much higher level than Lex, but had her arms down and wasn't ready for a blade to appear out of thin air.
Holding the blade to her neck Lex had a cheeky smile under his face cover.
"Still think I can't handle being a killer" states Lex releasing the killing aura he amassed within his soul after killing thousands and leaving behind an entire reality.
The woman although a leveller was suppressed by Lex's thick killing aura, retracting his aura and returning the blade to the inventory Lex stood there waiting for his acknowledgement.
The rest of the Voltacs conversing were staring at the scene unfold and were curious at who the hooded figure was.
But what nobody could see was that under the face cover Lex was biting his tongue and was sweating profusely and releasing such a powerful killing intent affected his body more than her.
The woman was now much more respectful and passed him a badge with the Voltiac symbol and the letter F.
"Drop your blood onto the card and this crystal and you will officially become a Voltac and you will be recognised at every Voltiac base" she states respectfully.
"If you do this you are agreeing to our rules and won't be able to leave without a valid reason and verification from the upper echelon. You also agree for your location to be known by the guild"
[System is there any risk giving them my blood] he asks within his mind, not willing to make any mistakes in this life.
{Ding, in this situation your blood is only being used as a method of identification and verifying your identity and to keep track of your missions so has no risk and if you place the identification in the inventory, they won't be able to track you} tells him the system.
Withdrawing a small dagger from his inventory, which shocked all those watching that he could conjure blades from thin air, but Lex didn't care due to his identity being concealed and he needed to show his worth.
Slicing his thumb, he drips it onto his identification badge and the crystal and he felt as though he now had a connection with the badge and many other places all over the place.
"You should now be able to feel a connection with many places, those are the places you have access to as an F-Rank Voltac, I must remind you that although you are only an F-Rank Voltac and aren't an official member of the guild if you do not abide by our fundamental rules then you will be hunted and killed" states the woman.
"And those rules are" replies Lex unfazed by the threat.
"Those with a conflict must deal with it outside the guild. If you are accepted by the one who sent the mission, you are paid half the reward to risk yourself and complete the mission then half after it is completed, however after receiving the beginning payment if you try to escape you will be hunted and killed. And the rest of the rules do not apply to you yet as a mere F-Rank. The next rank is the E-Rank and requires you to complete 10 F-Rank missions successfully and be at least an LVL 50 Mortal" she states to him.
With all the information Lex places the badge within his inventory so that it can't be used to track him.
"You may head over there to select as many F-Rank missions as you think you will be able to complete in a week," tells him the woman pointing towards a long wall filled with pieces of paper attached to the wall.
"Time to choose my first mission"
