I Hate Systems

Chapter 712: Not a System Slayer

The Goblins stared in fear, watching titans stroll through their Kingdom in large numbers. They had yet to lose their intelligence, but it hadn’t been long since the appearance of the Shaman King. So, they’ve yet to have someone even become a Pseudo-Saint, not to mention the higher powers.

Without the Shaman King, they were nothing.

Thump! Thump!

The footsteps of the Titans caused thunderous rumbling, destroying the weak buildings as everything that the Goblins had erected collapsed. Before, they would dare to pounce upon the invaders.

But currently, they didn’t dare do anything. After all, there was not one, not two, but over a dozen Titan Saints marching through their Kingdom when just a single one of them was enough to trample them to ruins.

“Get lost.” Gala didn’t bother with the Goblins, casually kicking a crowd to the side, not even bothering with the fact that her kick caused them to splatter into blood mist.

Titans looked down on the Goblins, that fact never changed. The only opponent they perceived as a threat was the Shaman King. And with Aronaut confirming the death of the Shaman King, they had already planned to wipe out this weed-like food resource.

“So, what’s the reason for so many Saints hiding in this Kingdom?” Aronaut asked once they entered the Goblin kingdom.

“This is something that others don’t know, but…” Gala trailed for a few seconds, swatting away any Goblins in the vicinity before continuing, “The Titan Apostle is our ancestor. So, we have an easier time becoming Saints. Though, on orders from her, we refrained from expanding further and confined ourselves in this Kingdom.”

“Does that make sense to you?” Aronaut asked Stencil, wondering what she made of this.

“Titans are basically undying calamities.” Stencil said, “So if they were spread out on a larger piece of land, it would only result in too much destruction. Maybe to prevent that from happening is why such an order was passed down.”

“We’ve speculated, but none could arrive at a proper conclusion.” Gala said, “All we’ve heard until now is the voice of our ancestor on the day we each became a Saint. We’ve never seen her ourselves.”

“We have no idea what the Titan Apostle is up to.”

“Hmm, Ducore might have an idea,” Aronaut muttered.

“Who’s Ducore?” Stencil asked.

“He’s one of the peak Slayers.” Aronaut said, “He’s a man of few words but wields the professions of the Ogre, Minotaur, and Titan race. He’s actually the Apostle of the Ogre Race.”

“Have you seen an Apostle?” Gala asked in surprise.

“A few, yeah.” Aronaut nodded.

“Are you an Apostle too?” She asked next, feeling her heart thump in tension.

“No, I’m not that interested in this world’s power system.” Aronaut said, “The most I’ve obtained are on the level of a Saint.”

“Leaving that aside,” He stared at Gehera, “Feeling something?”

“Yes…” Gehera nodded, pointing in a certain direction, “I can feel dad’s aura from there.”

As she pointed, faint runes swirled in her eyes as her Cartographer Profession was automatically activated, allowing her to draw information from the region, gradually obtaining data about her father.For more chapters, please visit

‘So, he was indeed the Shaman King.’ She understood, observing some similarities between the Goblin version of her father and his human version. Though, his human version was more…humane, as compared to the coldblooded Shaman King.

Boom!

The information flowing into her surged all of a sudden as Gehera jumped down from Aronaut’s shoulder, feeling different as compared to before, sensing something in her mind shatter as a torrent of information flooded her being, “Kyaaak!”

Luck—Happy-Go-Lucky!

Stencil activated her luck, assisting Gehera with it to ensure she would tide through this safely. Otherwise, in such a complicated process, there was a chance things could go awry without the assistance of luck.

Stencil stared at Gehera, taking out her choker, intending to put the other party under control the moment Gehera tried anything that went against her plans.

Staring at her intentions, Aronaut didn’t comment on the matter. Unlike her, he didn’t wish to be hard on Gehera, after all, he felt a sense of camaraderie with all System Slayers.

Therefore, he wished to go with a diplomatic route, intending to convince Stencil otherwise.

[Are you sure treating Gehera like this is for the best? She is the culmination of multiple powerhouses, after all.]

[I’m not treating her badly or anything. It’s just…her choice would depend on what’ll happen to her next. If she’s on my side, I’ll be her best friend.]

‘It hasn’t been long since she’s been out of her father’s sight and she’s already changing.’ Aronaut didn’t say much, only eyeing Stencil from the side. Though, he was aware of what the Main Character’s sole daughter had gone through in her past.

It was information long since collected by Slayer.

So, he could understand that to Stencil, her father was all she had. Normally, she was pretty compassionate as an individual. But when push comes to shove, she had every chance of turning into a vicious dictator.

Thankfully, Stencil didn’t need to take any drastic measures as Gehera successfully became a System Slayer.

“I…understand now.” Gehera said, tears streaming out of her eyes, “Thank you, dad.”

“Why…is there no change in her appearance?” Gala frowned in response, for the mana churning out of Gehera subsided, revealing her aura of a Master Cartographer, one that was gradually weakening, nothing else.

There was neither the aura of a Goblin nor a Titan in her, but that of a human.

“That’s strange.” Aronaut wondered the same, having assumed that Gehera would transform into a Titan the moment her Personal Fragment awakened. “Wait…her Personal Fragment is gone!”

He was startled, observing that the Personal Fragment in Gehera had truly vanished, as if it didn’t exist there in the first place.

‘What about the Main Character System Fragment in her?’ Aronaut thought next, harnessing the power of his Relic to focus on Gehera, hoping to see if there was any resonance between the two, for all Main Character System fragments would resonate in the presence of the Main Character.

But an instant later, he was alarmed, muttering, “What…is happening? I could sense it in her until now.”

‘Now she’s neither a System Slayer nor is there a Main Character System fragment in her body.’
