Chapter 94 Out of the Woods [ 2 ]
Chapter 94 Out of the Woods [ 2 ]
I reach into my pouch and pull out the wolf's core, it is pitch black and I can feel the energy in it. I check to make sure Ruby is resting, I'm fairly sure she wouldn't like this plan.
'Observe!'
"ITEM"
√ Shadow Beast Core
— Quality: ?????
— Rank: ?????
— Would you like to absorb it? Y/N
"Yes!"
I try to brace myself for the pain but it doesn't help, I still end up in the fetal position for a few minutes as the energy burns through my veins.
— You have absorbed the Shadow Beast Core! Shadow resist +25!
— Core Upgrade Progress: 30% +10 DP
— Core Upgrade Progress: 40% +10 DP
— Core Upgrade Progress: 50% +25 DP
— Core Upgrade Progress: 57%
That hurt! But it was worth it! Now the next thing I guess is to fight the demon in the lance so my wound can be healed.
"Hey, Drog?"
Drog says "Yes, master?"
"Is it possible for you to stay out here when I am in the soulscape?"
Drog says "Yes, if you so wish."
"Good, stay here and guard the camp, and make sure no one disturbs me."
Drog says "As you command, master."
I spend a few minutes building the mental picture of my soulscape.
'Create soulscape!'
*DING*
— Congratulations! Skill Soulscape has progressed to level 2!
— Gained Lightning Immunity!
— Gained Demonic Ability Zap!
√ Zap
√ Level: 1
— Cost: 10 DP
— Zap enemies by touch! Damage = intelligence.
Rank upgrades are impressive! Now I wish I had been more diligent about working on my core. I will make sure to correct that from now on.
'Core Status!'
— Core Upgrade Progress: 9%
Well, Drog was right about that as well, eating other demons is definitely the easy way! I wonder if I will be able to find more shadow demons? If I do, I will make sure to eat the next one slower.
Ending the soulscape the first thing I hear is Drog growling, as I open my eyes I see a strange sight. Drog is in front of me growling at Ruby, Alannis, and Leyla. A quick look around shows everyone in camp is awake and staring at me.
"Umm, what's up?"
Ruby says "You almost flattened the camp with a thunderclap! And this idiot mutt wouldn't let us near you!"
"That's because I ordered him not to let anyone disturb me while I was in the soulscape."
Alannis says "You fought the shadow demon without saying anything?"
"Yes, a battle in the soulscape is not something you could help with."
Mericel says "He's right, and he doesn't need any help in a soul battle. He beat Drog when he was a rank five demon."
Leyla says "How is your arm? Should I try healing it again?"
I turn my arm so I can see the wound, only to find it gone already. I show it to Leyla so she can see that it is fine. Looking around I see that the girls except for Myria have gone back to sleep, Myria I am guessing can hear the conversation just fine.
Ruby says "So, what about the thunder that woke everyone?"
"I guess that was from me ranking up after I ate the shadow demon."
Drog says "Congratulations, master!"
Ruby says "You ranked up?"
