Chapter 239: The Long-Awaited Voice of Heaven

The moment Luo Yong noticed the opposing figure, his gaze inevitably fell upon Lin Yu.

Despite the relentless torment he’d endured throughout the journey, the sight of the cold-faced, white-haired girl with crimson eyes struck him like a thunderbolt. His eyes widened, jaw slackened, breath catching in his throat as if time itself had paused.

Such beauty… Words utterly failed to capture even a fraction of her ethereal radiance. He could swear—in this life or any previous incarnation, through firsthand encounters or media glimpses—he’d never witnessed a woman of such transcendent allure.

"Ah!!"

The shadowy bindings constricted violently, wrenching a bloodcurdling scream from Luo Yong. The goblin, now fully conscious, panted through gritted teeth as he stared at the white-haired girl.

"Who… are you?"

"Your executioner."

The injustice committed against Lvzi still burns fresh in my memory.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu drew her sword from the space backpack. Yet beyond personal vengeance lay another motive—the prospect of claiming formidable skills from slain reincarnators. Hadn’t she acquired the «Immortality» ability after liberating Miyoshi Mitsui?

"Woof! Woof!!"

Huang Mao snarled beside her, baring fangs.

Ah, right. Huang Mao.

Lin Yu recalled the hound’s earlier accounts—the repeated clashes with this foe before their paths crossed. As fellow reincarnators, their initial confrontation had left Huang Mao gravely wounded. When frontal assaults proved futile, the cunning beast had employed blinding speed to harass Luo Yong, cementing their mortal enmity.

"Inukami! Damn you all! So you’re allied?!"

"Huang Mao serves as my hound. The others here are my daughters."

Consider this mercy—allowing clarity before your end.

What can I say? Benevolence flows through my veins.

Ah, but immediate execution would only satisfy me. The true victims—Lvzi and Huang Mao—still harbor unspent rage. After all, bottled resentment harms the spirit.

"Shall you mete out punishment first?"

The girl lowered her blade, glancing at her companions.

Thus,

After what felt like an age,

The pale-haired girl approached the gasping goblin, sword gleaming.

No final words were exchanged.

Swoosh!

A flash of white light—

In the next moment, the goblin’s head was severed. It stared with wide, bloodshot eyes before falling silent.

/Experience Value conditions met. Level increased.

/Level LV.3 raised to LV.4. All stats restored.

/Choose one of three blessings: ① Health Value Limit +100 ② Magic Value Limit +20, Agility +6 ③ Acquire skill 「Berserk」

Ah, the long-awaited voice of Sister Voice of Heaven!

But the blessing granted after releasing Luo Yong… is just ordinary.

When Miyoshi Mitsui was released earlier, there was a rank-up reward—jumping from Class C directly to Class B, skipping nearly twenty levels!

Wait, wasn’t it mentioned as “the first kill of a reincarnator”?

Does that mean only the initial kill grants extra rewards?

This truly feels like a game.

Still, dealing with Luo Yong wasn’t without benefits.

/Please select your blessing.

Give me the skill! The third option!

/Blessing confirmed.

Lin Yu immediately noticed the new skill 「Berserk」 listed under her panel’s skill column.

It seemed to be a formidable ability akin to 「Magnification」 and 「Ironcladization」.

Let’s examine it…

「Berserk」: Enter a frenzied state, temporarily gaining a significant boost to all attributes.

Though the boost might be smaller than 「Magnification」 or 「Ironcladization」, it enhances *all* attributes! Remember how Luo Yong, even after losing the buffs from his thirty thousand goblins, managed to hold his own against Weak Sound and Darkling Stalker briefly using this skill?

However, drawbacks exist.

First, like 「Magnification」, it rapidly drains Magic Value. Without replenishment, sustaining this state in prolonged combat is impossible.

Second, the “berserk state” impairs the user’s judgment, inducing impulsiveness and irritability.

Additionally, the user’s skin reddens? After Luo Yong activated it, his skin resembled a steamed crab, emitting heat.

Hmm. Regardless, its strengths outweigh the flaws.

This will be an invaluable skill to bestow upon my daughters!

Ah, leveling up also fully restored my Magic Value…

With Magic Value replenished, another choice looms.

…

“Mom, how should we handle the corpse?”

Stealth One’s voice snapped Lin Yu from her thoughts.

“No need to bother Mom with this,” Lvzi interjected, nudging the goblin’s body disdainfully. “Just burn the wretched thing!”

“Mom hasn’t heard what Weak Sound found in its cave. Worse than Naner Village—there weren’t just…”

“Sister Lvzi… it’s too gruesome. Please stop.”

Purple Mist timidly tugged Lvzi’s sleeve but retreated hastily when met with her gaze.

Despite Lvzi’s human form, Purple Mist remained wary. To her and Purple Cloud, being captured by human-shaped Lvzi was as terrifying as facing her ant form—a lingering trauma.

Amused by Purple Mist’s reaction, Lvzi feigned a lunge. The purple ant instantly bristled, wings buzzing as she fled.

“Little Mist remains so skittish. Adorable, really.”

“Not skittish—she’s repulsed by you.”

“Army Lady! Always the jester.”

Lvzi clung playfully to Army Lady, who’s golden-haired protests proved futile against her grip.

Their camaraderie warmed Lin Yu’s heart. Even Stealth One seemed more at ease with them. Sending Lvzi to the town… no, *assigning* her there had been wise.

“Follow Lvzi’s suggestion. Burn it.”

To incinerate the corpse…

Lin Yu turned to Magic Rainbow.

Through recent battles, her learned fireball and waterball spells had solidified as panel skills. After a hesitant pause, Magic Rainbow nodded.

She activated 「Fireball」.

Flames engulfed the goblin, reducing it to ashes within moments.
