I Gain a God-Tier Talent Every Level

Chapter 373

When Rei Kanzaki first came to Falling Moon Isle, his goal had been simple—to farm a few more Tier 7 dungeons and see if he could obtain monster materials useful for crafting equipment.

Luluwi would likely remain unconscious for another day.

So he headed straight to the center of the island.

Falling Moon Isle wasn’t particularly large, but the number of monsters here far exceeded most islands in the Moonsea—and they were significantly stronger as well.

As for the reason...

Many scholars had attempted to study it, but in the end, it was attributed to natural environmental factors.

Simply put—

Monster tides just happened to favor gathering here.

"...Mm. This will do."

The surroundings were barren—a vast, open wilderness.

Rei Kanzaki began inscribing the ritual on the ground.

As he infused it with soul power—

A surging tide of monsters began converging toward the island’s center.

Rumble—

Black mist churned violently, triggering a noticeable anomaly.

Within his perception, he could faintly detect streaks of light approaching from afar. Judging by their auras, they were likely Class Rank 5 or Rank 6 adventurers.

Most people on Falling Moon Isle were mid-to-high-level class users.

Low-level adventuring parties had no reason to come here. Their home territories already had plenty of Tier 3 and Tier 4 dungeons to explore.

So anyone who came here was either—

A passerby en route to another island,

Or at least a Rank 4 adventurer or higher.

Rei Kanzaki ignored their presence entirely, focusing only on gathering his monster tide.

Whoosh—

Then—

He released the Source of Calamity.

The entity began to dance in midair.

And the gathered monster tide slowly condensed.

"Source of Calamity?!"

A cry of shock rang out from within his perception.

It had been seen.

"Isn’t that an ancient taboo creature that brings disaster?!"

Whoosh—

Suddenly, dozens of pillars of lightning crashed down from the sky!

Boom—!

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The violent lightning shattered mountaintops, carving through the land like a plow as it struck toward the Source of Calamity!

Straight to attacking, huh.

Rei Kanzaki casually raised a hand.

Boom—

The raging lightning in midair instantly shattered and dispersed.

Previously, he had avoided revealing the Source of Calamity in front of others. Even when gathering monster tides, he had layered restriction after restriction, acting with extreme caution—

All because he feared it might be killed if he wasn’t careful.

But now...

He had some confidence in his own strength.

At the very least, he was confident he could block most attacks—

Enough to ensure the Source of Calamity wouldn’t be instantly destroyed.

"Why would you protect such a thing of disaster?!"

Rei Kanzaki looked up.

Floating in the sky was a mage, his teeth clenched in fury.

Behind Rei Kanzaki, the Source of Calamity continued its eerie dance.

He rose into the air, meeting the mage’s gaze, his tone calm but puzzled.

"You hate it that much?"

"My homeland... was destroyed by creatures like that."

Ah.

No wonder he recognized it instantly.

He must have done extensive research.

"...I’m sorry. But this definitely isn’t the one that destroyed your home."

"This is just my... contracted beast."

Rei Kanzaki explained casually.

Only after arriving in the Moonsea had he learned that Beast Tamers existed—people who formed contracts with creatures to fight alongside them.

"A contracted beast?"

"You made the Source of Calamity your contracted beast?"

Rei Kanzaki sighed lightly.

"As a contractor, it’s normal for me to contract anything I want."

"...Are you planning to bring disaster upon the world as well?" the mage demanded angrily.

Rei Kanzaki replied plainly:

"No. I’ve never done anything that harms the world."

"I’m simply doing what I ought to do."

"If you want to lecture me about your beliefs, I’m not interested."

His tone was calm—

But carried an unmistakable finality.

He could have avoided them.

But after inheriting the power of the Deep Earth, Rei Kanzaki also wanted to cultivate an invincible confidence.

If he believed himself to be unbeatable—

Then his imagination would influence reality accordingly.

And combined with his "Unyielding Mind" battle intent—

That effect would only amplify further.

The man glanced at the Source of Calamity, then at the ritual below.

"What a wicked ritual."

"So the monster tide here... was gathered by you?"

"And death magic as well..."

"Heh... I’ve never seen someone as evil as you."

He extended his right hand.

A staff wreathed in lightning materialized within his grip.

More onlookers began floating in the distance, watching.

"That guy..."

"Isn’t that... the Righteous Thunderbearer?"

"I heard he despises evil and swore to eradicate it from the world..."

"He’s taken part in many purges of the Death Church—he even earned the honorary title of Guest Elder from the Life Church."

"I heard his hometown was destroyed by the Source of Calamity when he was a kid, nya~"

Rei Kanzaki also picked up the surrounding chatter through his perception.

That silver-haired catgirl again?

Shumi, right?

Why does she show up in every crowd...

Unbothered by the pressure radiating from his opponent, Rei Kanzaki said:

"We have no grievances between us. If you insist on attacking me, I’ll have no choice but to defend myself."

Boom—

His response wasn’t met with words—

But with lightning descending from the heavens.

But in the very next moment—

The lightning that had just illuminated the sky—

Exploded and vanished.

The mage stared down in disbelief at his chest.

Rei Kanzaki’s spear had already pierced through his body.

"I felt your intent to kill me."

"If you intend to kill, you should also be prepared to be killed."

There was no particular emotion in his heart after killing him.

It felt no different than crushing an ant.

Compared to him—

The man had simply been too weak.

Rei Kanzaki pulled out the spear.

Mortally wounded, the mage desperately clutched his chest.

But he wasn’t Rei Kanzaki.

He didn’t possess such overwhelming healing or recovery.

No healer stepped forward to help him.

And whatever potions he had—

Were insufficient to treat such a fatal wound.

His vision blurred.

And he fell from the sky.

Rei Kanzaki casually flicked the blood from his spear before storing it back into his inventory, not sparing him another glance.

This entire scene unfolded before every onlooker.

Above, the Source of Calamity continued its silent dance.

But this time—

After waiting for a long while—

No one stepped forward to challenge him.

Some even instinctively drifted backward in the air before turning to flee.

Before long, the gathered crowd began to thin—

Until most had vanished.

Soon after—

A Tier 7 dungeon fully materialized within the ritual site.

Rei Kanzaki calmly recalled the Source of Calamity.

And without a care for anyone else—

He walked alone into the Tier 7 dungeon.
