How I Became the Strongest Sovereign

The large S rank Chimera beast whipped its scorpion tail, making me fly back from the force. 

[You have taken 2643 Damage]

I picked myself and leapt back to safety, reassessing the situation. The S rank Chimera Beast wasn't too difficult to handle. The only problem was its tough scorpion tail that moved at a frightening speed and its ability to fly, due to its wings. 

Not only was its maneuverability amazing, it was resistant to most element types, so I had to use Lightning mana a lot, leaving me with only 4000 MP. Could I finish this before my mana ran out?

"ROOOAAarrghhhh!!!" It's deafening roar made my ears bleed; dozens of reinforcements arrived at its call.

'Ahh. Great. More Wolf beasts to massacre.' I cursed internally at the poor situation; I had been fighting for 5 hours straight now, this left me fatigued and mentally strained.

'Voadhailis. Cambio Forma.'

The 2 Short swords materialised in my hands and a burst of mana arose from my body. My killing intent froze the new pack of mana beasts that had arrived. 

'Lightning Aura.'

'Purgatory.'

I spun Voadhailis's Claws in my hands before zigzagging towards the S rank Chimera beast at a blitz speed.

The other B and C rank beasts snapped out of their trance and charged towards me but I evaded all their attempts to stomp me or rip me to shreds. Limbs and heads were flying all over the place as my rampant onslaught caused the forest floors to stain with red.

I threw the shortsword in my right hand towards the S rank Chimera beast; it ducked, making the shortsword miss. 

'Switch.'

Using my Visual Prowess, I switched places with the sword in the air instantly. 

Lightning cackled viciously around my body as I spun downwards, slicing with the mana imbued Voadhailis's Claw.

The Chimera Beast put up its scorpion tail just in time to protect its head but I cut through it and managed to leave a deep cut on its shoulder. 

It Roared in agony, before flapping its wings and blowing me backwards.

Now I had weakened it, I had to finish it off.

I couldn't miss this chance! Blitzing towards the mighty beast, my body was imbued with Lightning mana, ready to give the final blow but to my surprise it still had a surprise attack.

A mana blast?

BOOM!

The mana blast that it had released from its mouth sent me flying back, crashing into a large tree. All air left my lungs, and the grip around my swords loosened.

[You have taken Critical Damage!]

[HP has fallen below 25%]

[Activating 'Rapid Healing']

I felt the pain of broken bones and burned skin slowly fade away, as my body was regenerating with the system's help.

'Just Kill this Peasant already!' 

With Voadhailis's annoyance, a burst of reddish orange Dragonic mana erupted from my body. The hue of my eye changed to a Golden yellow and my vision expanded in resolution.

The Chimera beast tried to escape by flying away but I had other plans.

"Sit!"

'Gravity Zone!'

[MP is dropping rapidly]

The reason why I refrained from using Gravity Magic was due to its immense Mana consumption but at the end, it was still one of the most broken elements.

With a clean cut, I had finally sliced off its large head. 

[You have earned 80,000 Exp for killing an S Rank Mutated beast]

[Congratulations! You have completed the quest!]

[You have levelled up!]

[You have levelled up!]

[You are now Level 120]

[Total Available Stat Points: 100]

**

It had been a whole week since I started farming and finally I had reached Level 120. Levelling up had become even harder as each level required more Exp. 

'Hard work is a prison sentence only if it does not have meaning. Once it does, it becomes the kind of thing that makes you grab your wife around the waist and dance a jig.' Voadhailis commented with a jolly tone.

'Who said that one?'

'Malcolm Gladwell.'

I shook my head, before sitting down next to the dead beast. He had binge watched my memories of the past world like they were Netflik shows and I must say, they were kind of influencing him. 

I absorbed the dead carcasses into my dimension ring, brimming its capacity to the max; there were now countless bodies in my dimension rings, ready for me to sell. At least this training period was profitable in many ways.

Now I just had to meditate for the rest of the remaining time I had left. I was already close to Stage 7. 

Opening a portal device, I teleported to a waterfall at the edge of the forest. This waterfall had vast amounts of pure mana, perfect for me to absorb.

The portal closed behind me.

Now I had to sort out my stats first.

'Status Menu Open.'

'Status Menu Close.'

Now that that was taken care of, I immediately sat down and began meditating. I focused and visualised the mana particles syphon towards the centre of my body and into my mana pool.

After 30 minutes, my MP was now full and the real growth of the Mana pool had begun…

I sat patiently, redirecting the mana in my meridians to the centre of my body. The mana pool was located underneath the solar plexus. 

One had to imagine their mana pool, in my case mine was like this waterfall. My mana pool was a large lagoon, connected to a waterfall, which inferred the millions of mana particles being poured into it. 

The idea of imagery was important in meditating; this technique was the most efficient way to increase the size of one's mana pool. Comparing my mana pool to when I first reincarnated into this world, it was the size of a small bucket of water. 

Now I had expanded it; increasing my stats also helped in the growth of the mana pool as it made the vessel (my body) that it was inhabiting even more suitable to its size.

In this 1 week period I had increased my strength in my base form. I hadn't used my demon form once and only focused on practising and increasing the levels of my regular spells. 

Along with my intelligence stat now reaching 300, my spells would now be much more potent and effective.

'Dodge' Voadhailis, interrupted my deep concentration.

The hiss of an arrow went past my head but I couldn't dodge it in time; a red line formed on my cheek and blood started to drip down from the cut.

So I wasn't alone in this forest?

'How many of them are there?' I asked, getting up.

'A dozen or so and they're all strong; all of their mana pools are 4 and above.'

'This is going to be tricky.'
