Floating Island - Triple S Talent

Chapter 20: Lein's Ascent to 12th Rank



One hour after the opening of Lein Island, more than 10,000 people had already arrived, either using the portal or coming directly with their own islands.

Nita had asked Lein several times about the process of managing city land, as many sovereigns had submitted requests to buy or lease land. There were also those who wanted to invest in Lein Island by providing materials or energy crystals. However, all these requests were rejected by Lein. He wasn't selling shares of the island, only opening land purchases or leases for now.

At 12 noon, a small island measuring 100 x 100 meters was seen moving calmly through the cloud-filled sky.

On that small island stood a young man with a light sword in his hand, his gaze relaxed yet firm. The young man was Lein. He decided to use a smaller floating island to search for stone islands with void monsters on them. He left the management of the main island to his sister, Nita.

His first goal of establishing an organization that manages trade routes in the Divine Sky Realm had reached its initial step. Although the alliance's grand objective hadn't been achieved yet, Lein was confident it would become a reality in the future.

Currently, his next goal was to become number one on the event leaderboard. He was curious about the leaderboard prizes and the gold chest. Besides him, Laras and Old Man Haikal had also left their main islands to increase their points.

Now, in front of Lein, a stone island with an area of 1200 x 1200 meters came into view. Slowly but surely, the two islands would merge in 3 minutes.

Lein was ready. With his average status of 600 points, he could easily take down 100 protector monsters on the stone island, as well as more than 50,000 regular monsters at levels 10-20.

Three minutes passed, and finally, the two islands merged. Without waiting long, Lein charged forward to face the approaching void monsters.

The void monsters were just as enthusiastic. They attacked Lein in overwhelming numbers, like a flood.

[Uura Vutu - Warrior]

- Level: 16

- Attribute: Str 76, Int 43, Agi 76, Res 53

- (Lightning Ball) Throws a lightning ball, causing shock effects if the enemy's status is lower.

[Ogre Void - Warrior]

- Level: 18

- Attribute: Str 87, Int 33, Agi 61, Res 69

- (Mace Throw) Throws their mace at the enemy with great force, +25% damage if the enemy's status is lower.

Lein saw the void monsters in various shapes and forms coming with their diverse powers. However, in the face of vastly superior power, they were nothing more than fallen leaves from a tree.

[Successfully killed (Ogre Void, level 17), exp +93, kill points 17]

[Successfully killed (Guto Oyo, level 19), exp +107, kill points 19]

...

The sound of kill notifications echoed in Lein's ears, but since his level was already maxed out, his exp points didn't increase at all.

Lein, who was engrossed in slaying the regular void monsters, now saw a protector monster appear in the distance. The void monster resembled a large lion, wielding a fire staff in its grip.

[Fire Lion - Protector]

- Level: 20

- Type: Magic

- Attribute: Str 144, Int 187, Agi 171, Res 126

- (Fire Aura) Transforms into a red fire form, Attributes +25%, Magic power increase 50%, Burns the area within a 10-meter radius.

The lion roared loudly, spewing fire from its mouth, creating a threatening heat wave. Lein dodged nimbly, zigzagging to avoid the fire attack. Quickly, he jumped high and attacked from above, swinging his light sword with full force.

The lion tried to block with its fire staff, but Lein's attack was too swift. Lein's light sword cut the fire staff in half, and with the next quick move, he plunged his sword into the lion's heart. The lion roared in pain before finally falling to the ground, dead.

[Successfully killed Fire Lion - Protector, exp +4350, kill points +2000]

However, shortly after the fire lion's demise, another protector monster appeared.

The next protector monster had the head of a shark. This monster had the ability to create an ocean within a 100-meter radius.

Lein, initially confident, soon found himself in trouble when the monster created an ocean within a 100-meter radius, trapping him in water. Struggling, Lein tried to regulate his breathing and find an opening to attack.

The monster glided quickly through the water, attacking with its sharp teeth. Lein managed to dodge several times, but small wounds began to sap his stamina.

In a desperate situation, Lein decided to use his second skill, Sky Shattering Slash. With a powerful strike, Lein created a 100-meter long sword aura that shattered the monster's defense. The attack ignored 50% of the enemy's defense and healed Lein by 50% of the total damage dealt. The shark monster was split in two, and the ocean vanished, leaving a rejuvenated Lein.

[Successfully killed Red Shark - Protector, exp +4850, kill points +2000]

"Haha... these void monsters have some bizarre attacks," Lein said, catching his breath. He was quite surprised by the Red Shark's skill that created an ocean within a 100-meter radius. It would have been fatal if his attributes were the same as the shark's.

Lein continued searching for stone islands with void monsters to catch up on his kill points.

Until nighttime, Lein didn't return to the main island as it would take too much time. So, he camped on the small floating island for the next few days.

Over the course of 8 hours from noon to night, Lein had cleared hundreds of stone islands. He was now ranked 12th with over 2,500,000 points. Meanwhile, Laras had dropped to 8th place, and Old Man Haikal was in 31st place.

The leaderboard didn't show exact positions due to the diversity of talents and items possessed by the sovereigns.

Before sleeping, Lein read several messages from Nita. Nita informed him that the main island was getting busier with many people intending to settle there. Additionally, some sovereigns had already established their own businesses in the City of Life.

Nita also told Lein that she received information from Laras to be cautious of the Garuda Alliance. They had tried to recruit Laras before but were flatly rejected. Unlike other alliances, the Garuda Alliance seemed to hold a grudge against them.
