To Alex, this was a massive win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I even need [Demonized Whispers of Shadows] anymore?\" he mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He imagined wielding his staff in one hand and transforming the other into [Bleeding Claws].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for the [Staff of Hatred] and [Hatred Armor] that he was supposedly getting, it seems he still needed to wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Please wait a bit, equipment will be transferred shortly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was confusing why he couldn't get them right away, but he couldn't forcibly extract it from Daniel anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alex, hurry up!\" Alice and Aurelia's voices called out to him, reminding him that the [Golden Star Festival] would begin in less than ten minutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just a quick test,\" he muttered, storing [Demonized Whispers of Shadows] in his backpack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Extending his left arm, he whispered, \"Bleeding Claws.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But nothing happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh, maybe I need to master it a little more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn't imagine it much since he never did this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So instead, he just thought back to Daniel's figure when he wielded it, and how powerful he was when doing so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The [Bleeding Claws] had lost its most important features like [Soul Crushing] and being to negate most magics, but it was still fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so instead of just saying the name of the skill, he focused on his hand and feelings instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wield the Hatred...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" he took a deep breath, visualizing the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, the transformation happened instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His left hand morphed into massive crimson claws, their edges glowing with an ominous shadow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex couldn't believe that he actually managed to do it, and this easily too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's this?\" Alice and Aurelia approached, confused as to when Alex got such a powerful thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, isn't this what Daniel had...?\" Aurelia tilted her head, making the connection between the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha,\" Alex laughed, ready to boast about his new acquisition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, he even wanted to try and use it on some of the nearby forest monsters before going to the festival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being late by a few minutes didn't matter much as long as they didn't miss the [Wandering Merchant] after all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But then, right as Alex took his first step forward—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"AHHHHHHH!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I got you now, child.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He heard a distance voice, but before he could react, an intense, searing pain erupted from his arm, spreading through his entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His skin lit up with crimson flames as the claws seemed to reject him, their instability threatening to consume him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[You have received the \"Curse of Hatred.\"]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Effect: the flames of Hatred will consume you.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the—?!\" Alex gritted his teeth, dropping his staff as he tried to dispel the skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the flames only climbed higher, creeping toward his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing the danger, Alex made a desperate decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grabbing his dagger back from his backpack, he brought it to his burning arm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grrr… DO IT!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With one swift motion, he severed his own arm just below the shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pain was excruciating, but the moment the claws hit the ground, they disintegrated into nothingness, taking the crimson flames with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The \"Heart of Calamity\" has stopped the curse from spreading further.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex fell to his knees, his vision swimming as blood poured from his wound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What… the hell…?\" he gasped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The curse had tried to kill him, and now his left arm was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Heart of Calamity advises you not to use this skill until mastering it or removing the curse.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No… shit…\" Alex groaned, breathing heavily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His blurred vision caught movement: several figures rushing toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my god, Alex!\" Alice's voice cracked with panic as she dropped to her knees beside him, trying to assess his injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?!\" Alera shouted, her [Frost Spear] materializing in her hand as she scanned the area for threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who attacked you?\" Aurelia demanded, her [Shadow Control Daggers] flying into the surrounding trees to check for hidden enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-It's fine,\" Alex rasped. \"Just… a little mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A little mistake?!\" Alice cried, her face pale. \"You're missing a whole arm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Relax,\" Alex said, trying to grin through the pain. \"I've got a plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What plan?\" Aurelia narrowed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex forced himself to sit up, blood still dripping from his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll teleport you both to Star City, then head to the seventh floor of the [Tower of Destiny] and let one of the monsters kill me. They're twice my level, so it'll reset my body without losing any gear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're insane!\" Alice snapped. \"There has to be a better way!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty minutes of cooldown, max,\" Alex replied, ignoring her protests. \"You two can enjoy the festival while you wait.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before either girl could object further, Alex grabbed Alice's hand with his remaining one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a flash, he teleported her to Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the [Fox Tribe Village], he turned to Aurelia, who glared at him, clearly prepared to dodge, \"You're next.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you dare—\" she began, but Alex's agility, boosted by his [Fox Clan] perks, outmatched her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He grabbed her wrist, and with another flash of light, she too was sent to Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Alex teleported to the seventh floor of the [Tower of Destiny], known as the Obsidian Cradle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here we go…\" he muttered, staring at the empty space where his left arm used to be, \"Guess I should've been more prepared before messing with a skill from the [Hatred Demon].\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Global Announcement: The Golden Star Festival has officially begun!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Global Announcement: The Golden Star Festival…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Global Announcement…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alex sighed as he silenced the notifications. \"Perfect timing,\" he muttered. \"Let's get this over with.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to quickly die, and though he would have preferred to just kill himself, it would have meant the possibility of a penalty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is one of the loopholes of Universal Descent while the [Revive] feature was still active, and he would make sure to abuse it as long as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>",1274,"2026-06-03T12:12:47.112Z","2026-06-03T12:12:55.153Z",1,"novelbin.me","6590d5a3a7fce5078d3a2c05bcf4786c8bcf4dacd110098df84c6ce286fe6038","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-212","awakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-chapter-210",516,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fawakening-reincarnating-with-the-sss-level-extra-cover.jpg"]
