Chapter 889 An S-Rank Skill?
Chapter 889 An S-Rank Skill?
An S-Rank skill?
An S-Rank skill?
A goddamned S-Rank skill?
Aron was speechless. The fairy stared at the list in disbelief as something like this was not supposed to happen. It was impossible. Why? Why? Why? The fairy felt as if his insides were burning in anger.
What was an S- Ranked skill? An extremely precious resource, not just in this godforsaken random lower realm but even in the middle realms and higher realms.
An S-Ranked skill was something that was sought after in the whole damned universe.
And the cost of a single S-Ranked skill…
The fairy clutched his chest in pain. He did not even want to think about it. This was a fucking nightmare. The thin fairy started sweating from top to bottom.
Moreover, he saw Liam grinning like a maniac, and his fears became worse. The human being was definitely going to pick this. Even a foolish rat would know to pick this precious, invaluable skill, then why won't this human pick this skill?!
Finished! He was finished! He was totally finished! Completely fucked over! Doomed! His life was over!
The cost of a single S-Ranked skill was a whopping 100 billion low-grade mana cores. For this, he could have simply handed over the same amount to the damned bastard in the first place.
Ah! Curses! Curses! Curses! What was he going to do now?
While skills until the D-Rank cost only 1 million mana cores, irrespective of whether they were common or uncommon, skills above that Rank were increasingly expensive.
A C-Rank common skill alone cost 10 million mana cores. An uncommon skill could go as high as 50 million mana cores. The same went for B-Rank common and uncommon skills. They all ranged between 10 million to 50 million mana cores.
Aron did not care about these skills or this meager amount of low-grade mana cores. He even did not care about A -Rank common and uncommon skills that could range anywhere between 100 million to 1 billion mana cores.
He was willing to lose that much but not the S-Rank skills. A single damned S-Rank skill cost several billions of mana cores, not just 1 or 2.
?
How was this any different from him handing over the reins of this world to the human being in front of him?
He was a nobody. In his entire life of three centuries, he only managed to procure two S-Rank skills in total. He did not have a power like this to change the fate of an entire realm, but all of a sudden, he was in the thick of things, and his neck was on the chopping board.
Damn it! It was the system's fault!
The shop's system had definitely gone haywire. It was bending over backward to help this guy.
Aron was not sure if Liam knew about this or not, but the class-specific skills were revealed to only those customers who had already achieved a high enough understanding of their class.
This was already a big enough anomaly. How was it possible for a lower realm being to possess such a high understanding of their class? On top of that, he even unlocked S-Rank skills?
No! No! No! This was not on him. This was on the system! The system screwed up! Not him!
While Aron was silently panicking inside, with his whole world crumbling around him, Liam suddenly turned to look at him. The fairy's heart further dropped. Did this guy make a decision already? Was it all over? He was dead, wasn't he?<.com>
However… to his surprise…
"Can I take a look at the items available in the shop first?" Liam simply smiled and asked.
The fairy blankly nodded. He looked as if his soul had already waved goodbye and left his body. "There." Aron showed him the next desk and followed Liam like a lost sheep.
Liam did not pay any attention to him and started browsing the items available. He was seriously searching for what he needed at the moment with his complete attention on the task.
Seeing this, the fairy's face twitched. This human being had hit the jackpot already, and yet he is putting up all of this act to torture me further! His helplessness quickly turned into anger and hatred.
The only problem was… there was nothing he could do to Liam.
He clenched his fists till his knuckles turned white and watched Liam with the hatred and enmity that belonged to someone who had harbored the anger for countless years.
The fairy wasn't all that worried about items per se. Unlike the skills fiasco, there was no possibility of anything going wrong when it came to items.
The highest grades of items available in the shop were only 'Rare' and 'Unique', no matter who was accessing the list.
Above this, there wasn't anything available, to begin with, and these cost a maximum of maybe 100 million mana cores or 500 million mana cores. That wouldn't be too much of a ding in the shop's balance sheet.
The main problem was… Aron sighed as his mind spun at a dizzying rate. He wanted to find a solution to his predicament, but there was no way out.
Soon, he watched the human being pick an item and select it. "This will do," Liam said. Aron nodded, and another fairy hurriedly packed the item and handed it over to Liam.
Any chance he was already done? No. How could he be so lucky?
Aron swallowed hard, feeling the lump in his throat as Liam smiled and looked at him once more. "I am ready to pick my skill."
The fairy then half-listlessly and half-angrily followed Liam once again. His fate was hanging by a thread! What was going to happen?
For the amount of anxiety he had, he wanted to chew out both his nails and fingers. He already knew that he was a dead man walking, so why was this guy dragging this out?
Just pick the S-Rank skill, and fuck me already, you bastard!
KILL ME ALREADY!please visit 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝗲𝙡.𝐜o𝚖.
Ten minutes later…
Liam walked out of the magic shop with a big smile on his face. Coincidentally, Aron, the store manager, was also equally, if not more, ecstatic.
The fairy's laughter could be heard loudly echoing inside the shop, even though Liam had already stepped out.
However, Liam did not care. He simply smiled and signaled Luna to start heading over back to the place where they had previously run away from.
Now, he was ready to face the vampire lord and whatever level 100-plus creature that crawled out of the earth.
