The Annihilator: Killer Of Gods

After Karsha's near-death encounter with the Primordial Flame, he hastily left the treasure house and went to find the shadow guards without even bothering to look around. Just the heat from the flame woke something inside of him. He recognized his weakness and knew he had a long way to go. Enjoy exclusive adventures from empire

"You guys seem happy" Karsha found the shadow guards sitting but a small river munching on some crackers. They weren't alarmed hearing his voice meaning they sensed his arrival from far away. Of course, Karsha too wasn't hiding his aura so it wasn't anything impressive.

"We are indeed happy, we just found out we can learn new techniques and skills ten times faster than we previously could" Tifa answered his smile shining like the morning sun.

"That's incredible" Karsha responded sounding even more happy. When he first found out the shadow guards couldn't learn skills like humans, he was bothered intrigued, and disappointed. Intrigued because they have a unique way of getting their skills and mastering them, disappointed because although they manage to get a few skills from the drops, they couldn't learn them.

It was only after he formed the bond with them did he actually felt relaxed. That's because, with the bond they share, he can transfer skills and techniques to them without him having to learn them. It's just like using himself as the medium to transfer the skills to them.

So if they can learn new skills and even master them ten times faster, this can only mean even the earth-shattering skills he has synthesized and given to them have already been mastered to a terrifying level.

"Let's go to the other location" Karsha had spent almost half a day at this one location so he knew he had to hurry else time would go against him. He still has things to do before heading back to the Human world.

After leaving the place, Karsha used his teleportation ability to teleport them to the next location. That place also has Nagas guiding there. However, these Nagas look different. They have two horns on their human head meaning they are a special breed of snakes.

The system identified them as brown horn earth snakes. Karsha didn't know whether he had killed any of those during his massacre but he sure wished he did. Their horn contains a rare type of liquid that can be used in making one of the strongest poisons.

After having a quick chat with them, Karsha and the shadow guards entered. He has nothing else he wants but entering the treasure room made him change his mind. He had only wanted to see how it looked and let the shadow guards pick whatever they wanted, but seeing the display of treasures all starting from the Legendary grade to the Heaven grade, Karsha couldn't let himself just watch.

Even some of the cases containing some of the treasures have been locked. There are about 7 cases that have locks on them and according to karsha's, he doesn't have permission to open those yet. He speculated that they might be Mystical grade. Beyond the Heaven grade, there is Mystical, Primordial, and Divine.

So the locked cases mean the items locked in them are just too valuable. In over 40 treasures, he couldn't find anything he wanted so he let the shadow guards pick whatever they wanted. He even gave them the go-ahead to pick something for their friends and loved ones.

He had already been made clear that he shouldn't be greedy and with this much treasure houses all left for him, letting them pick everything would be a problem.

After leaving the second location, they went to the third and did the same. Karsha was able to pick one skill book for soul cultivation. He Knew Xian had a class of a Beast Tamer but because he lacked the resources to cultivate, he decided to use the sword instead.

So with this skill, he will be able to use that class since all beast tamers rely on their soul strength to control their beast companions.

The shadow guards were the only ones who picked something at the fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh locations. However, at the eighth location, Karsha found a liking to an untamed cauldron called Hypalux. Is a Heaven Grade cauldron and since he will be concocting high-rank pills soon enough, he decided to tame it. It was as easy as speaking to a child.

Although his flame isn't the strongest, his recent rise to the Excellent affinity made his devil's breath slightly stronger than it used to be, but he will still have to change it before he can concoct from Tier 5 Earth grade upwards. Thankfully, he can always buy some from the Alchemy Guild.

Once he gets a new one, he will assimilate his old flame into his core making his fire element gain some more energy.

The nine locations are made up of skills and techniques. Karsha was intrigued by how many skills and techniques they had. He picked a beast-taming technique and some other skills around beast-taming. He also picked some sword skills that are more ladies, those are for June. He even picked a Heaven-grade technique called Jade Moon.

It allows the wielder to channel the Lunar energy to unleash powerful attacks.

Even though June cut half of her life force for Karsha, with the [Princess Necklace] he received as a drop, June will be able to continue cultivating till the life force inside the necklace runs out. He doesn't know for how long it will last but he is confident he will be able to gather the ingredients needed for the constitution awakening and strengthening pills before it runs out.

Even the Tiara has some sustaining force hidden within. Those can get her going and even allow her to keep cultivating before a permanent solution can be administered.

After leaving the Nine locations with happy smiles on their faces, Karsha and the shadow guards went to the tenth. That place is like a treasure room for wealth. It's full of gold and other rare and valuable treasures, Karsha went through most of them and found out they are rare forms of minerals from a very long time ago.

There are 25 different kinds of metals but the gold is many. He made the shadow guards keep the gold since he didn't have any use for it. But for the metals, he cleared everything leaving nothing behind. After leaving that place, they decided to fly using the boat back to the island.

Kilian and Tifa always leave early after they pick up their items to loot the caves left behind by the previous overlords. They always came back with rare items and a lot of monster cores.

Thanks to them teleporting between locations, it took them less than half a day to clear all ten locations. Karsha now has two days to go and he has yet to show Lady Illo some of the hidden sections on the island. After breaking the curse and becoming the Overlord, he gains knowledge of hidden things on the island.

And since he wouldn't be able to stay and guide them, it's only natural to pick someone and make them rule in your stead.

And since Lady Illo and her family are practically royalties, it's only natural to make her the queen of the island. Karsha doesn't really care about who rules, but he also wouldn't just give that authority to anyone.

"Dhaka put all the monster bodies in this space ring and the cores in this." On the way, Karsha decided to use the time to sort out his thousands of monster bodies. "Tifa, arrange all the rare herbs, bone, gems, crystals, and flowers into this ring"

"Ayarr, what is it that you wanted to show me" Ayarr extended her hand a five dark crystals and a demon fruit dropped into the boat"

"Wow, those are dangerous" Karsha picked up the demon fruit without any fear since he had already consumed one. But he didn't dare touch the crystals. The energy coming from them is several times more powerful than the demon fruit.

Using the system, Karsha stored four of the crystals in his inventory, "Use it to advance your mastery of the dark element. Don't overuse it since the energy it contains isn't friendly." Ayarr nodded and picked the crystal into her space ring using the same method as before.

After a few minutes of transfers, Karsha was handed three rings. In one are thousands of monster bodies. He also added his own to it leaving only the Overlords. After enlisting the system's assistance, got the total number of monsters he and the shadow guards hard killed.

For the normal monster, they manage to kill 60 Tier 4, 10,000 Tier 5, 8,000 Tier 6, and 3000 Tier 7. And for Alpha, they killed 4000 Tier 5, 2000 Tier 6, and 1500 Tier 7 Alphas. Mutants, killed 1000 Tier 5, 1004 Tier 6, and 400 Tier 7.

Karsha didn't even know what to do with that much so he made the system send almost all to his soul sea for Uno to devour. He only kept 100 Tier 6 Dark Mutants and 100 Tier 7 Dark Mutants. He Promised Hando do he would be bringing goods so those would be more than enough to shake the whole of Drono kingdom. The Overlords are a special case, they have their own task.

'System, tell me the cores gathered will be enough to upgrade they system subspace.'

< You are still lacking in Tier 5 cores and Tier 7. But because most of the cores are from mutants, add two Tier 8 monster cores and the Subspace can be upgraded to Tier 2 >

'Take it and upgrade' He didn't even hesitate. With his riches and the prospects of getting new upgrades to his person training space, sacrificing even the Tier 9 core in his possession wouldn't be a problem.

< Upgrade started >

< The System Subspace will be inaccessible for the next 7 days >

Karsha smiled and threw the last space ring containing over 50 rare herbs and flowers into his inventory. He also gave Tifa the lightning Liquid and thanks to the free access he gave them, Kilian, Alida, and Dhaka also got some stuff that will aid them in their elemental cultivations.

A little after 6am the next day, they reached the borders of the Sanctuary...
