Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Strengthening and Advancement

Vega stared in disbelief at everything that had just happened.

He couldn't help but blurt out, "I told you guys to quickly eliminate the enemy, not to become suicide bombers!"

"You think you can just grab a grenade and rush over to blow yourself up? What the hell were you thinking?"

He looked at the three remaining shadowy warriors standing quietly in front of him and couldn't help but slap his forehead.

Well, these shadow warriors are indeed quite good, but they're just a little dim-witted!

It's still unknown how long it will take for the dead shadow warrior to be able to summon again; hopefully, it won't simply disappear completely upon death.

Thinking of this, he began to concentrate his mind on the Ghost Shadow Mask and immediately sensed that in addition to the three Ghost Shadow Warriors that could be summoned at any time, there was also a weakened Ghost Shadow Warrior.

He focused his mind on sensing the weakened warriors, and immediately a message appeared in his mind.

The cooldown period lasts one day, after which the Shadow Warrior can be summoned again.

"Fortunately, they haven't completely disappeared, but we need to use them carefully. Otherwise, after two or three battles, all these shadow warriors might have to go into a cooldown period."

"That would be troublesome."

However, I still have six Shadow Warriors left to use.

Vega looked at the system, at the thirteen experience points he had just gained.

Should I upgrade the Ghost Mask again? After all, it's already so powerful at +3. If I spend another 10 experience points to upgrade it to +4, I can hunt down the Shelby family even faster.

Right now, I need to become stronger quickly, so there's no need to accumulate experience points.

Thinking of this, Vega immediately consumed ten experience points, and his original Shadow Mask instantly became +4.

At the same time, he sensed that there were now twelve shadow warriors inside the mask, and their strength seemed to have increased considerably.

Vega, who sensed all of this through the Ghost Mask, immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

Vega ordered the shadow warriors to pick up the intact weapons on the ground, and then immediately led his men away.

His hunt began.

"Monster! Monster!"

In the midst of the flames, several gang members dressed in suits bearing the Shelby family crest and wielding weapons were seen scrambling and stumbling backward in terror.

These people had expressions of terror on their faces, their expressions filled with fear.

His eyes were filled with fear.

These were Shelby combat team members who had been through many battles, and at this moment they were completely devoid of their previous swaggering and arrogant demeanor.

At that moment, all they wanted was to escape, to get away from this place.

They had initially thought it was just a mission to hunt down Vega Vongola, but suddenly a group of black-clad, weapon-wielding monsters attacked them.

These black monsters had indistinct facial features, were completely black, with scarlet eyes, and suddenly attacked them wielding various weapons.

Originally, the members of these combat teams didn't care at all, after all, the weapons in their hands were not to be underestimated.

But these black-clad monsters were not only agile and accurate marksmen, but they also seemed completely unconcerned about dying. Some of them even charged forward with bombs and grenades.

What terrified them even more was that these black monsters would turn into a cloud of black mist and disappear into the air after being killed.

How could such a scene not terrify, frighten, and intimidate the Shelby family's followers?

Although they were seasoned veterans who had fought against countless gangs, they had never encountered such a terrifying monster before.

What made them feel even more desperate was that even if they killed some of these monsters, more would quickly replenish themselves from the darkness.

It seems they can't be eradicated.

In addition, his companions kept falling in the blood-soaked slope.

As expected, the Shelby family's henchmen collapsed. At that moment, they wished they had two more legs and fled in all directions, crying and screaming.

Vega stood coldly in the darkness, manipulating these shadow warriors to kill Shelby's gang members one by one.

With the last escaped gang member killed.

Vega emerged, surrounded by shadow warriors.

In addition to those who had participated in the battle and were scattered around the area, Vega had summoned forty or fifty shadow warriors.

These are all his gains.

This was the fifth combat squad belonging to the Shelby family that he had wiped out.

Not only were the Shelby family's combat teams wiped out, but Vega also raided their small outposts, killing all those stationed there.

Including those he killed at the beginning, he killed at least six or seven hundred members of the Shelby family tonight.

Actually, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly at first. However, Vega underestimated the enhancement system. After gaining some experience points from the initial battles, he immediately began enhancing his character.

After upgrading the Shadow Mask to +10, not only did he gain the ability to summon one hundred Shadow Warriors, but the strength of these Shadow Warriors was also greatly enhanced.

They are agile, have excellent marksmanship, and are fearless in the face of death, making them far more capable than ordinary people.

Moreover, these Shadow Warriors possessed perfect teamwork, making the Shelby combat team members no match for them.

This allowed Vega to easily wipe out the Shelby family's henchmen.

Even after upgrading the Ghost Mask to +10, Vega still had around 300 experience points stored in the system.

Vega originally planned to continue strengthening the Shadow Masks, since these Shadow Warriors were powerful and absolutely loyal, making them very convenient to use.

However, just as I was about to upgrade the Shadow Mask again, the system displayed that I did not have enough experience points.

Then a message popped into my mind.

He then realized that once an item is enhanced to +10, it will begin to advance to the next level.
