The system gave off a notification tone.

Maxwell didn't really care since killing any monster would naturally result in system alerts. There was nothing strange with this at all…

Except when he heard what came after the notification, his whole person froze from shock.

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for killing a Spectre. You have gained 12,000 XP, 1000 mana."

"Souls of deceased devil race +1. Your current value for Deceased Souls is at 1."

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for triggering the quest: Becoming A Devil."

Quest: Becoming A Devil

Grade: S

Difficulty: S

Time Limit: Within 2 months

Description: Killing 1 million spectres to obtain 1 million deceased soul values will complete the quest.

Quest Reward: Becoming A Devil (Note: Random chance of becoming a devil – player has a chance of becoming one of the ten Devil Sovereigns, a Devil God, or a small Devil Soldier. Everything is dependent on the player's luck.)

"Holy crap!"

"An S-rank quest with an S-rank difficulty? Killing a spectre could actually trigger a quest? System, can I just mention how much I love you?" Maxwell couldn't help jump in excitement as this was no different to him stumbling onto a bucket of gold.

Who knew he would be so lucky?

He was simply too fortunate!

After reading through the quest description again, Maxwell was stunned as he said to himself, "One million spectres… how much XP is that? According to my requirements to level up, 1 million spectre monsters will allow me to rise to the Ancestor rank. This… isn't it a bit too overbearing?"

Dracula then gave him a blow by saying: "Hey brat, I have no idea what thing you have inside your body, but you only have two months to kill 1 million spectres. With your current strength, not to mention two months, I'm afraid you still wouldn't finish them off after ten years."

"Also…"

"The amount of mana you gain by killing a single spectre does not offset the amount you've consumed. Even if you continuously absorb beast cores to replenish your mana, it's still not enough based on your inventory. There's no way you can complete this quest, so you can stop dreaming about it."

This blow directly gave Maxwell a critical hit.

Hearing Dracula's words, Maxwell froze with an idiotic look on his face.

Indeed…

As Dracula said, this quest was impossible to complete.

The main factor was that his cultivation wasn't high enough. It was already quite difficult to kill a single spectre, so to kill a million of them, he would literally tire himself to death.

The quest had already been triggered.

It was impossible to reject it now.

A short while later…

Maxwell then said in disdain, "Isn't it merely a million spectre monsters? I'll kill them for you to see, so you, as the world's number one domineering blade, will get acquainted with my dominance and my insufferable arrogance! I refuse to believe I can't finish it!"

No matter what…

Maxwell had to complete this quest.

The reward for completing the quest was simply too tempting!

Becoming a devil!

He could randomly become one of the top ten Devil Sovereigns or a Devil God. As for a little Devil soldier, how could a great character like him possibly have such an outcome?

If he could transform into a Devil Sovereign, it would be similar to having another occupation.

This was an absolutely awesome experience inside video games.

Dual occupations!

If this occupation cannot kill you, I'll change to another one and try again!

As someone with many years of experience in gaming, Maxwell understood he couldn't miss this chance and had to complete the quest. No one would be clearer than he on how powerful dual occupations were. In the worst-case scenario that he transforms into a little Devil Soldier, he would still have a chance to make it stronger. Looking around this place, one can see a random spectre is already at the King rank. One can easily imagine how a little Devil Soldier of the devil race could be such a powerful existence.

Dracula coldly chuckled and said with disdain, "I would really like to see how you're going to finish the quest. And see how you're going to act domineeringly with unbridled arrogance."

Even if it was him…

It was nearly impossible for him to kill a million spectres in only two months. Not to mention Maxwell!

It was absolutely impossible.

Maxwell ignored Dracula's disdain and said with a smile, "You just take a seat and watch how I will complete the quest with my heaven-defying abilities."

In his previous life…

Maxwell was called the Quest King!

Every triggered quest had to follow a certain rule. No matter how difficult it was, there's always a way to complete it. The system inside him was an intelligent existence, so it would never create an impossible quest; that's why there had to be a way to complete it.

Maxwell already had some methods he could try.

For now, the first thing he had to do was level up to the King rank.

This was the most important step!

Immediately after…

Maxwell didn't continue speaking nonsense with Dracula and started running towards another spectre with the Vampire Blade.

The method of killing the spectre was the same as before.

Maxwell consumed several thousand mana, and the reward couldn't fully cover the expenditure, but he didn't really care because his heart was focused on levelling up through to the King rank. Gradually, his action speed started increasing.

He was only killing them one by one.

Maxwell was very careful in every step he took. He would only awaken one spectre monster and never two at a time.

Most importantly…

His path was very strange-looking to outsiders. He was killing his way through in a curved shape, similar to walking outside a circle.

"Crackle!"

"Congratulations to player Maxwell Gillette for killing a Spectre. You have gained 12,000 XP, 1000 mana"

"Crackle!"

"Souls of deceased devil race +1. Your current value for Deceased Souls is at 18."

---

"Crackle!"

One hour quickly passed by, and Maxwell had only killed 20 spectre monsters. He spent about 3 minutes on each spectre, which was considered very slow.

But Maxwell was having a great time killing them and didn't feel it was slow. He actually had a very satisfied expression on his face.

Dracula was a bit annoyed and said: "Hey brat, not to mention a million of them, you won't be even able to kill ten thousand of them at the rate you're killing. You still wouldn't be able to complete the quest if you were given a hundred years. How about giving Dragon Technique a shot?"

Dracula just couldn't keep watching.

He had a bad temper and didn't really have that much patience.

Watching Maxwell's snail pace and that leisurely expression on his face, his anger had started simmering.

Maxwell replied with a smile: "Dracula, can you fix your impatient attitude a bit? Just sit to the side and watch how I'm going to complete this heaven-defying quest. At that time, I will definitely give you a big surprise."

"Brat, I'm not trying to pour cold water on your plans, but you can quit dreaming of completing the quest."

"With your current killing speed, you can keep fooling around with that stupid quest of yours. I'm too lazy to watch you, so I'm just gonna go restore my soul energy."

Maxwell then said, "Looking down on me? Bastard, I'll show you how fierce I am!"

Continue killing!

Like usual, his actions were very slow and careful.

Except…

Maxwell didn't stop. He kept killing continuously and gave one the feeling that he was the stupid bird that needed to make an early start.

One day passed by…

Two days passed by…

Three days passed by…

---

On the fifth day.

Maxwell glanced at his XP bar before muttering, "It's going to be you!"

His power condensed…

And the Vampire Blade chopped down.

"Bam!"

The domineering power directly instilled a spectre.

At this moment…

The system gave a notification tone, and Maxwell became slightly excited. "King rank! System, shouldn't you reward me with a new martial technique or something? I'm really looking forward to it!"
