[Ding! Soul Absorption successful! Attained Grade B – High-level Warrior x1]
[Ding! Soul Absorption successful! Attained…]
…
The notifications rang out continuously.
An interface that only Ye Tianyu could see appeared before his eyes. The data on the interface kept changing, and the expression on his face became happier and happier.
However, his gaze was still fixed on the level of his exclusive skill.
[Skill: Soul Absorption Level 1] (200/200)
“Conditions for skill level upgrade met. Update successful…”
“Latest attribute… [Skill: Soul Absorption Level 2]. Reduces Soul Absorption time by 20%. Increases success rate by 10%!”
Usage: (89/300)
[Remarks: Level of exclusive skill can be used upgraded with increased number of usage. Currently used for 89 times. The higher the skill level, the shorter the time taken to use it and the higher the success rate on the target!]
“Haha! Finally, the absorption skill is upgraded!”
Ye Tianyu was ecstatic, but as there was someone around him, he didn’t show it.
Two hours ago, he had been exploring the palace with the summoned army.
The deeper they went, the more powerful the demonic creatures they encountered became. The team behind him also increased in manpower size after killing the demonic creatures.
This effect was like a rolling snowball. Every time a creature was killed, he would gain another summoning soldier.
In less than a day, the number of summoning soldiers had increased significantly from the original dozens.
There were already hundreds of summoned soldiers.
By that time, they reached the end of the dungeon. The teleportation portal was nearby and behind the throne.
One of the reasons he stayed behind was to turn all the creatures he killed into summoned soldiers.
Of course, this included the powerful demonic leader not far away.
Ye Tianyu turned around and looked at the figure lying before the throne.
Dark General (Undead-type Demonic Creature)
Description: The villainous lord of the dungeon, the commander of the soldiers guarding the Lost Palace – “Mo Wudao” – has guarded the palace for a thousand years just to wait for the return of the previous Lord. (The commander is extremely capable and has great personal strength and commanding ability.)
Main Attack Technique: [Death Entanglement] (Its close-range attacks will release powerful demonic Qi that binds the target and accurately strikes the target.)
[Lightning Explosion] (Lightning attack on the restrained target. After three consecutive explosions, the enemy will die!)
Overall Ranking: A
In order to deal with Mo Wudao, Ye Tianyu had suffered quite a bit.
The Dark General’s skills was not only tricky to tackle, but it also covered a large area. In the end, after losing more than half of the summoned soldiers, he was finally able to kill it.
After killing the Boss, it was time for a great harvest.
However, Ye Tianyu regretfully discovered that he was unable to absorb the Dark General’s soul form.
After checking the skill information, he thought of a way to increase the success rate of his skill level.
Fortunately, there were many corpses in the palace. He had been focused on commanding the battle just now, but now he remembered the existence of these creatures.
He could not absorb the soul of the ultimate Boss, but he could absorb the souls of the Grade B monsters.
Next was the familiar stage of Soul Absorption. Ye Tianyu started to activate his skills crazily to increase the number of times he had used Soul Absorption.
Finally, after all the Grade B monsters had been converted, the skill had reached the required conditions for levelling up.
Ye Tianyu finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Unknowingly, his forehead was already sweating. It was not because of the temperature, but because of his nervousness.
After all, if his skill level did not increase in the end, there would be no hope of obtaining a powerful Boss and he could only leave with regrets.
It felt as if there was a treasure in front of you, but for some reason, you could only say goodbye to it!
Fortunately, there was still hope.
After successfully raising his skill level, Ye Tianyu waved his hand and collected all the soldiers before walking towards the leader’s corpse.
He snapped his fingers and said softly.
“Come out!”
[Beep! The opponent is a special demonic creature. Absorption failed…]
Upon hearing the prompt, Ye Tianyu fell into deep thought.
He could only use the skill on the same demonic creature three times. If it failed all three times, it would be judged to be in a state where it could not be used.
Previously, he had already used one chance, which meant he only his last chance left.
Heave!
He was extremely nervous right now, so nervous that he could clearly hear his heart beating.
Li Qingqing shook her head slowly when she saw how focused Ye Tianyu was.
Although she didn’t know what he was doing, she could feel the tension in the air.
“The last Boss was killed. The teleportation portal could only last for three hours.”
“It’s been an hour. I wonder how Uncle and the members of the Spiritual Team are doing.”
“Forget it, we should go find them!”
Li Qingqing was worried about the people who had entered the dungeon with them.
She muttered to herself as she walked out of the palace.
Ye Tianyu noticed Li Qingqing’s actions, but thinking that all the creatures in the underground dungeon had been killed, even if Li Qingqing went out, she wouldn’t encounter any danger, so he didn’t stop her.
It was fine as long as she could return before the teleportation portal disappeared.
He had to think about how to seize the last opportunity to absorb the soul!
Even though the skill had been upgraded, the absorption still failed. This kind of situation was really depressing.
Ye Tianyu began to carefully recall the entire process. He could sense that he must have missed some important information.
The explanation for the failure of absorption was because of the restricted capability and level.
Now that these reasons had been eliminated, what was the reason for failure?
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
“The information regarding the Dark Overlord is… The villainous lord of the dungeon, the commander of the soldiers guarding the Lost Palace has guarded the palace for a thousand years just to wait for the return of the previous Lord.”
He muttered to himself the information he had read previously.
“Guard the palace… for a promise… and for the return of a certain Lord…”
“So that’s how it is!” Ye Tianyu finally thought of the reason why the soul extraction failed.
In conclusion, it was a very mysterious concept, and that was “obsession”!
The meaning of obsession was: (Because of a certain emotion and item, or because someone is too persistent, a strong personal will is born!)
Because the Dark Overlord was obsessed with protecting the palace and its promise to a particular monarch, its obsession led to the failure of its absorption.
At this thought, Ye Tianyu sighed with emotion.
It seemed that humans were not the only ones who valued promises. The cold-blooded and heartless demons were no different!
“Dark Overlord, listen up!”
“I know that you value promises very much, but a thousand years have passed. You have already completed your mission!”
“As a general, you should not be buried in this dark corner.”
“You should lead the soldiers into battle. You should continue your duties as a general. Your hot-blooded desire to fight…”
Ye Tianyu looked at the Dark Overlord with a determined gaze, and his voice turned from calm to fervent.
If his initial goal was to capture a powerful soldier, then his mindset had already changed at this moment.
“Come out! Follow me to conquer the world and defeat powerful enemies one after another…”
“Snap!”
With a loud snap, the motionless corpse on the ground suddenly moved.
The next moment.
A figure hidden in the darkness slowly walked out.
At the same time, a cold voice sounded in Ye Tianyu’s mind.
[Soul Absorption Success]
[Ding! Obtained Special Type Soldier—Grade A Commander!]
