Chapter 108: Chapter 81 The King of the Sewers - Part 2

Based on the mission description and examination of the ashes, this excessively young combatant had not only eliminated a large number of ungraded monsters but had also vanquished Middle Rank Mature Level ones.

It’s important to know that the combat abilities of Middle Rank Mature Level monsters are fully formed, and even Eighth Level Combatants may not be able to handle them if the attributes are opposing.

Yet he was still a reservist!

No wonder the sewers have been so quiet these past few days.

Big Scarface thought it was just good luck, not realizing that someone had actually borne the burden and moved ahead.

And Rod’s explanation was simply to flash his special trainee badge.

Big Scarface was convinced and even gave him all his wages when he asked if there was a financial reward.

These are internal system tasks, which seldom offer cash rewards.

But Big Scarface didn’t care; his Soul had already taken shape, hope for promotion was lost, he was ugly, had no wife—what use was money to him?

Guarding this district, protecting his warrior brothers, and seeing the rise of a new hope for humanity was his greatest wish.

The lad before him was so young, so outstanding, he was sure to become a rising star, offering new hope to all those still struggling in darkness.

What was money in the face of helping him?

Of course.

Rod was unaware of this.

After a few days in the sewers, he was truly out of money.

His combat style was essentially throwing money away; whether it was True Silver Bullets, Sealing Spirit Bullets, Thunder Stones, or Potions, all required money.

Ungraded monsters were manageable—True Silver Bullets or Thunder Stones would do, at worse a "Soul Blast" might be necessary.

Mature Level monsters required Sealing Spirit Bullets, and Rod’s attempt at thriftiness almost cost him his life.

And the Sealing Spirit Bullets were truly expensive.

Every ten Sealing Spirit Bullets needed ten True Silver Bullets, a portion of Humanity, three portions of Spirituality, and one gram of Star Light Ruby Powder.

A single True Silver Bullet cost seven silver coins, and the Star Light Ruby Powder cost three hundred silver coins per gram.

Not counting Humanity and Spirituality, each bullet averaged out to thirty-seven silver coins, seven more expensive than a Thunder Stone.

It was an absolute gold-eating monster.

After several days of battle, Rod had emptied all his storage of supplies and spent his last silver coin, nearly unable to pay his lodging fee; fortunately, the innkeeper, charmed by his handsome looks, sweet voice, and good words, agreed to delay the payment for two days.

After turning in his mission, Big Scarface gave him nine hundred silver coins.

It was a lifesaving fortune.

He immediately bought two grams of Star Light Ruby Powder, thirty True Silver Bullets, and some essential supplies, then paid off what he owed.

For some reason, when Rod paid off his debt, the innkeeper seemed quite disappointed.

Rod didn’t mind and returned to his lodging, entering the Dream Realm.

Despite great consumption, his gains during this period were also significant.

As Rod touched the Soul face of the Obelisk, his information appeared at the very top.

Soul Strength: 117

Soul Star: 2

Humanity: 472

Divinity: 45

Soul Without Spirit: 6322

Owned Souls: [Soul of Mad Sinner] thirty-six, [Soul of Filthy Corpse] thirty-seven, [Soul of Maggot Man] twenty-two, [Soul of Corpse Fly] fourteen, [Soul of the Undead Hound] one, [Soul of Mutated Demon Spider] five.

——

All Soul Dust and Soul Fragments were sacrificed, earning him a vast amount of Soul Without Spirit and Spirituality.

"Spirituality" was also a very important material—being a component of Spirit, it was also called the blood of Spirit, with miraculously potent capabilities, but it decayed easily and could only be stored in the "Storage" beneath the Stone Platform.

After sacrificing too many Soul Fragments, Rod no longer lacked "Spirituality" as a material.

After crafting another twenty Sealing Spirit Bullets, there were still thirty portions left unused in the Storage.

Then, it was time to witness the fruits of his labor.

Rod approached the Obelisk, and with a thought, he injected the Soul Without Spirit into [Frost Blue].

Masses of black viscous substance fell into the fire of the stars, and the blue flames burned fiercely as the strength of the star rose rapidly.

...

99.

The number stuck there as the firelight of the star violently trembled, as if it encountered a considerable obstacle.

Rod knew this was hitting a bottleneck; at this moment, he needed to push through aggressively and break the barrier.

So he injected more forcefully as the number of Souls Without Spirit plummeted like mad. Black clouds of viscous material were forcefully infused into the star, causing its fire to tremble wildly, and finally, as the number of Souls Without Spirit dropped below the four digits, it burst forth brightly.

For a moment, the entire Soul face was illuminated by blue light. [Frost Blue] shone intensely as it crossed that line, its strength reaching 100, and its Position changed from "Fiery Fire" to "Golden Fire."

The light receded like the tide, retracting back into the star.

In the night sky, [Frost Blue] gleamed with clear blue light, the brightest star.

Rod focused and saw the words on the Blue Star had changed to:

[Frost Blue]

[State: Superlimit Burning]

[Star Energy: Advanced Spirit Revival]

[Inject: Complete Soul]

[Quantification: Unavailable]

[Position: Golden Fire]

[Strength: One Hundred]

[Description: "I shall bloom like heaven, never fading with the passage of time."]

——

Nearly all the words had changed.

What Rod cared about most was the [Star Energy] item, which had changed to [Advanced Spirit Revival].

During the battle period, he notably felt the limitation of Spiritual Energy—after using "Soul Blast" ten times in a row, he felt his Spiritual Energy nearing depletion, requiring rest before he could continue fighting.
