Divine Path System-Novel

Chapter 145 - He Is Special

Varian only used Space and Morpher Powers.

It was his first time relying on Morpher powers, but he quickly got a hang of them.

Fortunately, from Level 1 to Level 3, Morphers do not actually transform. Instead, they receive a boost in stats from the entity they would be transformed into.

Varian received a significant boost in all physical stats, but the highest was in vitality.

"Roar!"

"Graah!"

Despite themselves, a significant portion of beasts at the end of the horde turned around to attack him.

With the length of the horde, it was around a fifty beasts.

'Tsk. Fifty Level 2.' Varian cursed.

He 'turned off' his body path and lightning path with System to not get caught.

It was as if there was a thin layer on his chi and mana. If he wished, he could break it in an instant.

The elementary attacks of the beats reached him first.

Fire balls, water arrows, lightning whips and earth spikes.

Varian simply teleported into the middle of the beasts.

Oh yes!

Teleportation after so long! He was loving it.

Shuaa!

Even though his strength lingered only around peak level 2 and early 3 compared to a Body awakener, his stamina was outstanding.

In fact, his stamina boost was the second highest after vitality.

Shuaa!

Shua!!

Seven beasts were killed in an instant.

'Master, you're awesome.' Boo cheered.

'....' Varian didn't dare to reply and focused on killing.

He already knew he'd be a plant awakener with the boost in stats. Vitality and Stamina—these were the hallmark stats of plants.

The strength of Plant Morphers was their high vitality and stamina. The drawback of was the lack of their explosive strength and speed.

The strongest attack of Plant Morphers at the same level was also generally lower than that of Beast Morphers and Body Awakeners.

It was something many Plant Morphers complained about.

"Haha!" Varian blocked the space around a fireball that was about to hit him and slayed the Scarlet Lion.

Varian wouldn't complain.

He could use the combination of Space and Morpher Path to make up for its limitations.

Of course, in case an all out battle broke out, his main strength would be his Body Path followed by Lightning Path.

Morpher Path would be an important assist, with it boosting vitality and stamina by a significant amount.

"Roar!"

"Wraa!"

"Shuaa!"

After fighting the clones of Abyss King and Queens, Varian found himself growing stronger. Not just in the levels, but within the level as well.

Thud.

Thud.

None of the attacks even scraped him. Within a few minutes, all the beasts that stayed behind were dead.

"Haa!" Varian bent down and held his knees as he panted.

His Morpher path wasn't high enough to kill so many magic beasts effortlessly. He had to break some sweat.

'If I used my Body Path powers, I can kill a 100 magic beasts with two strikes.' Varian sighed at the disparity.

He glanced around and saw the beasts had long diverged into various groups.

The applicants initially scattered, but after the horde split to chase after them, they realised battle was inevitable and raised their weapons.

While most killed magic beasts, some were killed by them.

Of course, there were also a few that used other applicants as sacrifices to survive or kill more magic beasts.

"I guess I'll kill a few mor—"

"Nova Reeves." A voice sounded in his mind.

"You are?" Varian pretended to be surprised.

Telepathy was his mode of communication with both System and Boo, and those two were the ones Varian talked the most to in the past month. It'd be weird if he freaked out from a voice speaking in his head.

"I am the Andrei, a first class butler. I think you have the potential to be under my wi—"

"Follow the rules." Another voice sounded.

This time, it came from his comm. The comm of 'Nova Reeves'.

Both the voices went silent for a while before an old voice sounded. Varian recognized it as the head butler. It, too, sounded from his comm.

"You have passed this round. I am expecting more from you, Nova Reeves." It was laced with a touch of approval, but more of generosity.

Varian stayed true to his role and bowed. "Yes, sir! I will do my best."

"Haha." Kaito, the head butler, seemed pleased and revealed the truth about the test. Or at least part of it.

"You and a few others have a chance to become a butler if you perform well."

As his words ended, a few luxurious hover cars shot towards them from a distance and, in mere seconds, landed before Varian and a few others.

Varian got into the car.

Only thirty minutes passed since the test began and most of the applicants were still struggling. Thus, the sight of twenty odd applicants leaving the field bizarre.

Even though they didn't know the reason, they knew they missed something.

Of course, all they could was to watch in envy as the hover cars took off and dashed into the horizon.

After what felt like a minute, Varian got down and saw dueling rings on a flattened mountain top. There were five of those rings.

His comm informed him of the ring he should stand in. Surprisingly, he was the only one for his ring.

Unlike him, there were five candidates in the other four rings.

The butlers were seated at a distance and glanced at the twenty-one short listed applicants.

The five butlers picked five applicants each, save for Micheal. He went with only one—Varian.

"We said thirty, but we were going to pick eighty servants." Kaito's voice was clear even in the mountain top with the radius of couple miles.

"But for butlers, each of the first class butlers will pick one butler each." He pointed to the five butlers sitting beside him.

Varian and the twenty others nodded.

"Since each butler except Micheal picked five, you have to fight it out." Kaito's voice caused a noticeable change in the atmosphere.

"The last one standing is selected."

The candidates shot a glance at Varian. He must be the one Micheal picked.

A girl with a ponytail raised her hand. "Isn't this unfair?"

"Yes, Sir Micheal. How can he be selected without any fight? He might be good in fight against magic beasts, but he would cower when fighting against humans." The guy, 24 years and 364 days old, also raised his issue.

Varian clicked his tongue. He glanced at the arrogant figure in the judging panel, who ignored the points raised by others. Micheal Astor.

Micheal Astor was glancing at Nova Reeves. After the candidates raised their topics and went on for a good five minutes, Micheal raised his hand.

The candidates fell silent.

"I trust my instincts. This guy is special."

Varian gasped and gave a grateful smile.

Inwardly, his killing intent rose.

'Boo, he's dangerous.'
