Level Up in Earth Evolution

Chapter 7: 'Anointed One' And Black Armored Knight

Li Xin looked at Li Wei, who was frowning as they walked towards area with monsters.

"Brother, is something wrong?" she asked with a worry.

"Huh, don't you feel strange, XinXin? It's like there is something wrong, but I can't figure out what it is," he replied with a puzzled face.

"Maybe it's just your imagination, brother," Li Xin shrugged. She didn't feel anything wrong.

"Maybe," Li Wei replied, but he kept feeling that something was amiss.

It all started when he raised his attributes, but he didn't pay much attention to it because of the critical situation.

"I hope it's just my imagination," he murmured and continued to walk forward with Li Xin.

"Hey, why can't we store this corpse in the item box? Didn't the system say we can sell it?"

"Don't you see the message on the panel? It says it's a 'Quest Item,' and the rewards will be issued automatically."

"What the heck! So we can't steal or collect the corpse, huh? The system is playing dirty."

"It's not the system; it's you who wants to play dirty."

Li Wei looked at the people who were fighting and killing as if they did it daily.

He also saw some human corpses eaten and dead around the monster's corpse.

'Huh?, a dead human body. Why don't I feel anything? It's like I've seen it every day,' Li Wei pondered looking at Li Xin.

'Even XinXin isn't showing much reaction to it. No wonder I felt weird.' He thought with a deep frown.

"Brother," Li Xin grabbed his hand, seeing his frown growing stronger.

"Are you all right?" she asked with a very worried expression.

Li Wei looked at her worried expression and felt guilty.

'What the heck am I thinking? The world has nothing to do with me. I only care about XinXin,' he cursed himself.

"Don't worry, I'm alright. I was just thinking about something," he replied to her with a smile.

"Umm, if you have something, you can tell me. I will always listen to you," Li Xin said, feeling a little relieved.

"Okay, let's find some monsters and level you up," Li Wei nodded and looked around for the monsters to level her up.

This was the first thing he wanted to do; he would think of other things later.

"Umm, okay," Li Xin agreed with a nod when a monster came in front of them.

*Ghwaaaa!*

Li Wei slashed his sword at the monster, injuring it. "XinXin, take this guy down,"

"What about you, brother? Don't you want to level up?" Li Xin asked with a frown.

If he don't level up, then it might be a problem to fight monsters later.

"I don't need to level up now; you can do it," Li Wei replied with a confidence.

His attributes already exceeded the limit of his level, but he knew that he still couldn't deal with a real Level 5 who was not suppressed and had their attributes decreased.

But it wasn't a problem with the suppressed one they were currently fighting.

"Okay, brother, then I will kill it," Li Xin nodded and directly killed the monster.

[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 2 Goblin. You gained 15 XP]

*****

In a white, holy room, two Goddesses were sitting and watching Li Wei on the screen.

"Sera, he noticed the change," Luna, the Goddess of Life, observed.

Sera, the Goddess of Death, looked at Li Wei on the screen.

"Of course he will because his attributes increased, making the effect weaker," she explained.

"But will he be able to survive and kill them? After all, he was chosen by mistake," Luna asked with doubt, glancing at Li Wei on the screen.

Sera's face became frostier.

"Hmph, if 'those' bastards wouldn't have cursed me when I was choosing the 'Anointed One,' it wouldn't have ended like this," she replied coldly.

"But what can we do? 'They' even started a 'God Rank Evolution' for this planet Earth. Even Gods like us can't interfere too much. We got a chance to choose the 'Anointed One' randomly, so we handed it over to you, who has better luck. But who knows 'they' will curse you at that time, making your luck drop," Luna explained with a wry smile.

They are goddesses, and 'they' would certainly not choose an opposite gender to do things for them, but who knows that things will end up like this.

"But why did you give him your self-created skills and even upgraded his system? He's just the 'Anointed One.' It would have been good if you gave him just blessings of 10× rewards and XP, right?" Luna inquired with a doubt.

"No matter what, he was dragged here because of me. If it can help him survive, I will do it," Sera shrugged with a nonchalant look.

Even though she is the Goddess of Death, she has her bottom-lines.

Li Wei is chosen by the mistake of her, so she would help him survive as much as she could. If he still failed to do it, then she couldn't do anything.

"But we might still have a chance to choose another 'Anointed One' when Earth enters the third or fourth phase, or we can even directly choose our Disciples," Luna expressed her dissatisfaction.

"That's why I gave him all I could, because if we can choose more 'Anointed Ones' and disciples, 'they' can do it too, and they will definitely send someone to kill our 'Anointed One.' He is no exception," Sera explained.

Her face became frostier at the mention of 'them'.

"Did you find where 'they' ran away?" she asked.

"No, we haven't found them, but 'they' might even be on Earth, hiding themselves," Luna reported with a cold face.

"Sigh, I hope he can survive, even if he doesn't kill 'them'," Sera sighed as she looked at Li Wei on the screen.

He was dragged into this because his luck wasn't that good. How would he feel if he ever found out about it?

"Sera, look, there's an 'Abyssal' monster, and it's heading towards him," Luna said looking at the screen.

"Huh, they also added the 'Abyssal' monster in the invasion," Sera murmured with a frown.

[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 3 Kobold. You gained 25 XP]

[Ding, Congratulations, your level increased to Level 5]

[Ding, you have received 10 SP, 10 AP, and 100 coins as a level-up reward]

"Brother, I leveled up again," Li Xin informed him after seeing the notification.

Li Wei nodded, heaving a sigh of relief after seeing her level increase.

"How many mana potions do you have remaining?" he inquired.

He purchased 5 mana potions for her to recover because one mana potion only recovered 50 MP.

Li Xin looked at the remaining mana potions and said, "Hmm, I still have 3 remaining because I didn't use any skills."

She paused and asked with a puzzled face, "But doesn't it cost too much brother? And why aren't we recovering our mana without potions?"

Li Wei also felt puzzled about why they weren't recovering any MP.

"Anyway, we should level up more here. Take this monster down," he replied as he injured the low-level monster.

But Li Xin shook her head. "Brother, you should level up. I am already at level 5 and can fight by myself."

Li Wei looked at her with a wry smile. He knew she wouldn't back down until he became a higher level than her.

"Okay then. Here are only low-level monsters in this area, but still, be careful," he warned, still a little worried.

"I will just stay behind you and kill any monsters that come from behind," Li Xin assured him seeing his worry.

She herself wasn't willing to go far away from him.

"Okay then," Li Wei felt relieved.

If she was closer to him, it would be much easier and faster to respond. With that, he directly slashed his sword towards the two Kobolds.

[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 3 Kobold. You gained 250 XP]

[Ding, Congratulations for killing a Level 3 Kobold. You gained 250 XP]

[Ding, Congratulations, your level increased to Level 4]

[Ding, you have received 100 SP, 100 AP, and 1000 coins as a level-up reward]

[Ding, congratulations on completing the quest 'Kill 10 monsters.' You have received the rewards: 10000 coins, 100 AP, and 100 SP]

"It's really easy for me to level up, huh," Li Wei murmured.

It took a lot of time and monsters to level up Li Xin, yet he only killed 10 and leveled up to 4.

*Ding!*

"Huh, a message from the Goddess," he murmured as he looked at the sudden message prompt and clicked on it to see the content.

Goddess of Death: Be careful, an 'Abyssal' monster has appeared, and its target is you.

"Huh, a Abyssal monster? What is it?" Li Wei looked puzzled when he saw the message, but his attention was attracted by a sound.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

A metallic sound of walking rang out, attracting their and nearby people's attention.

Li Wei and Li Xin looked at the direction of the sound.

"Brother Wei, should we run?" Li Xin asked, unsure of what to do when she found out the source of sound.

Li Wei smiled wryly. 'Ahh, I am really unlucky,' he thought as he looked at the 7 feet tall black-armored knight.

Its two red eyes glowed like a bloodthirsty demon with its dark and metallic full-body armor that gave a cold feeling just looking at it.

It held a pitch-black 4-foot sword in its hands.

"Brother, what should we do?" Li Xin asked with fear, looking at the knight.

The knight was heading towards them, and it didn't even look at the other people.

"Just stay behind me and don't attack until I tell you to, okay," Li Wei warned. He didn't wanted her to be in danger again.

"Okay, brother," Li Xin nodded agreeing. She didn't know how powerful he was, but she trusted him.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!*

The Black knight suddenly came to a stop.

It looked at Li Wei, who was only 50 meters away, and said with a scrappy metallic voice, "H.U.M.A.N.....Y.O.U.....L.O.O.K....D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S..."

"F***k your mother!" Li Wei directly cursed at the Black-armored knight when he heard it speaking.

"Analyze Eye," he chanted in his mind and looked at his status panel.
