SSS-Rank Awakening: My Talent Multiplies Everything novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Advancing To The Next Zone.

The moment the notification appeared before him, Kael’s eyes brightened.

Without the slightest hesitation, Kael selected No.

A grin immediately spread across his face.

This was perfect.

His greatest concern at the moment was his Multiplier talent. A lucky multiplier triggering at the wrong moment could completely throw him off mid-battle, and that was dangerous.

Yet this instance had practically handed him the solution.

Store all experience.

Clear the instance first.

Claim everything afterward.

The more Kael thought about it, the more pleased he became.

Unfortunately, he didn’t have the luxury of celebrating.

A growl echoed through the banquet hall.

The remaining enemies were still very much alive.

Kael tightened his grip on his twin swords and shifted his focus back to the battlefield.

The two remaining Sloth Hounds wasted no time.

The first one lunged forward like a projectile, jaws wide enough to tear through flesh and bone. Kael stepped aside at the last moment, allowing the beast to rush past him before flicking one of his blades across its shoulder. The sword carved through rotting flesh and petrified muscle, spilling dark blood across the stone floor.

The wounded creature howled, but before Kael could press the advantage, danger flared through his instincts.

The second hound was already upon him.

Its body launched through the air with frightening speed.

Kael immediately rolled away.

The creature crashed into the ground where he had been standing a split second earlier, the impact sending dust and debris scattering across the hall.

"Nice try."

Kael sprang back to his feet.

Using the opening created by the failed pounce, he circled behind the first hound and drove one of his swords deep into its hindquarters. The beast shrieked in pain and spun around wildly, but Kael was already moving again.

A massive shadow descended from above.

One of the Slothbound Knights had finally caught up.

Its rusted greatsword swept through the air in a devastating horizontal slash capable of cutting a man in half.

Kael ducked beneath it.

The blade passed harmlessly overhead.

The force behind the swing was enough to create a low booming sound throughout the hall.

"Too slow."

His grin widened.

As the knight’s momentum carried it forward, Kael planted his foot and unleashed a brutal kick directly into its helmet.

The instant his foot connected, a burst of destructive force erupted from the impact point.

BOOM!

The knight’s head vanished.

So did most of its upper torso.

Fragments of rusted armor and shattered bone exploded outward like debris from a cannon blast.

A notification flashed across Kael’s vision, but he ignored it completely.

His attention remained fixed on the aftermath.

Echo Strike.

Finally.

A proper demonstration of what the skill could actually do.

Truthfully, Kael had always liked the ability. The damage output was incredible, but most of his previous fights never gave him the opportunity to fully utilize it. Either his opponents died before the third strike landed or circumstances interrupted the chain entirely.

Marcus had been too fragile.

The Sand Worm kept retreating underground.

Neither fight had allowed Echo Strike to display its true potential.

But now?

Now he had seen it firsthand.

The result was satisfying.
