Ark avoided the recklessly flying tentacles and peeled off the skin

-Your spirit has risen thanks to Soul Extortion!

<spiritual power=”” +1=””>

-Your spirit has risen thanks to Soul Extortion!

<spiritual power=”” +1=””>

His Spiritual Power gradually increased as the Soul Eater’s body disappeared When Ark used Soul Extortion to eat the soul, one side of its head faded away With the Soul Eater in that state, a part of Dragonian inside the sto in excre Soul Extortion, he was concerned as the piece of Dragonian fell into the lava At the same time, the lava welled up hundreds of metres

“Eh?”

It was at that time The Soul Eater suddenly deflated and shrunk After decreasing to 100 ed Fortunately, Ark who had been on the Soul Eater’s back wasn’t daed by the fall

“That fellow!”

“It is the devil who deceived us for hundreds of years!”

When Dragonian appeared from the devil’s stomach, Cell instantly disappeared The Fire Draconians who had been fighting against Cell rushed towards the Soul Eater Ark ran like the wind in front of them and shouted

“Don’t touch! It is mine!”

“What does that mean? For hundreds of years……”

“Mine!”

“Ack!”

He had to convert every last bit of the Soul Eater to Spiritual Power! Therefore he had to stop the Fire Draconians The Fire Draconians flinched from Ark and retreated Meanwhile Ark moved his eyes from the Fire Draconians towards the Soul Eater The Soul Eater that had been several kilometres in size had decreased to 100When Ark approached it tried to swing its tentacles but they just dropped and cru

-Kuuuuuu…don’t come…stop…!

Ark just hit the annoying tentacles with his sword and approached the Soul Eater Then he raised his hands and said with a bright expression

“I’ll eat well”

……His happy mealtime had started Just like that, the Soul Eater which sed up Dragonian disappeared into Ark When it only had 3 health left, a viscous liquid flowed out and the Delanced at the Soul Eater and stopped attacking

“Demonic Seal……should I make a cursed japtem or eat it? No,portions And the cursed japte uses so shouldn’t I create it this once? Demonic Seal!”

Ark used the re soul to seal into one of the swords he picked up in Oberiue s appeared

-You have received 30 additional experience for using Demonic Seal

-The source of the wicked power disappeared and the absorbed stats will be returned!

-Your level has risen

-Your level has risen…

When he defeated a level 500 boss he instantly gained 9 levels Moreover, he had gained 170 Spiritual Power just froelatine like Soul Eater was a ave him a bunch of nutrition

“Now shall I check out the loot?”

A bunch of items were scattered around where the Soul Eater died

-Nightmare Sealed Old Sword

Weapon type: One-handed sword

Attack: 7~10 (+60) Durability: 2

Weight: 45 User restriction: Level 250 and higher

A sword used by ancient warriors of Oberiued its nature The enchanted y to destroy an opponent At the same tiic In addition, the user will be affected by the curse and will receive constant dae until it is destroyed

Whenthe opponent, there is a chance to deal 1~3000 dae to mana and there is also a 50 chance to steal a random stat from the opponent>

-Skin of a Greater Demon (Rare, Material)

(Number: 5)

“Oh, what is this?”

Ark’s eyes widened as he looked at the sword It was a boss ood effect The result was a perfect bingo! An option he never ie to mana and a 50 chance to steal stats fro the absorption ability of the Soul Eater, it really was a cheat like option

“But it only has 2 durability so just using it 10 times will destroy it

Since the probability is 50, I’ll probably only get between 5~10 points before the sword breaks When thinking about it like that, the option is not that great daher”

Ark packed the sith a regretful face

“But what is this? Even though I defeated a boss monster……”

Aside from the sword, it seemed like the Soul Eater only dropped one option It was a rare material item Ark had expected a lot more from a level 500 boss

“Wait? Didn’t souy died? This skin isn’t shi+ny Then there is still so left?”

Ark looked around carefully But he couldn’t find a special item not matter where he looked

“That’s strange? A?”

Ark asked as he tilted his head to one side

Ssak ssak ssak ssak!

Ark looked around restlessly when Radun suddenly appeared Radun entered a sap in a rock and then an informationappeared in front of Ark

-Radun has acquired ‘Burning Heart of the Fire Draconian

“Oh, so it rolled in there! Well done Radun!”

Ssak ssak? Ssak ssak ssak!

Ark stroked his head while Radun shook his tail eagerly

“Now please throw it up I want to check out the information”

Radun immediately opened his mouth at Arks’ order…ssak! Throw up…ssak! Throw up…he couldn’t NoHeart couldn’t be spat out Ark thought so and tried to hold Radun upside down but it was no use Then Radun was covered in dead skin and the informationappeared

-Radun has absorbed the Burning Heart of the Fire Draconian

Your pet Radun ate a special itees in his body

As an Alarowth for that species is still unknown It cannot be confir but it will beco Heart of the Fire Draconian’ will be completely absorbed However, Radun’s current ability does not allow hi Heart of the Fire Draconian It will take so Heart of the Fire Draconian

“Eh? What is this?”

Ark read the inforotten Radun could grow using specific ite Heart of the Fire Draconian similar to the Fruit of Basium that Radun ate before?

Ssak ssak ssak, ssak ssak ssak!

After seeing Ark’s expression, Radun dropped his head like sohed and shook his head

“No, you did well”

He couldn’t think of another purpose for the Burning Heart of the Fire Draconian aside froainst Radun when he ate the Fruit of Basiue But this time there didn’t seem to be such restrictions Further else to assist the digestion of the Burning Heart of the Fire Draconian

“Then there’s no problem Radun, since you’ve already ate it then try your best to digest it”

Ssak ssak? Ssak ssak ssak ssak!

Radun’s eyes sparkled as he received praise instead of hostility

“Huhuhu, you cutie My pet is too char is finished…eh, what the?”

It was at that time He suddenly felt a pain as both wrists throbbed Ark frowned and looked doith confusion

“Eh? T-this……?”

The pain he felt was from the tattoos on his wrist It was the tradeht was suddenly emitted from it After a moment, cracks appeared in the tattoos and a piece broke off A new informationthen appeared when the broken tattoos sunk into his skin

-A seal of ‘Eternal Soul’ has been released and you’ve acquired a new profession-specific skill

[Dee 3 (Passive)

‘Dee to learn if they want to reach the enlightenment needed for Eternal Soul When you find a deainst de the demonic attribute will increase by 30 In addition, you will be able to detect hidden demonic poithin the bodies of monsters

“Eh? Eternal soul?”

He hadn’t considered that Eternal Soul would awaken But Ark was able to understand most of the methods to awaken the Eternal Soul after this It wasn’t surprising that Eternal Soul would awaken whenever he dealt with monsters of the demonic attribute And every time Eternal Soul awakened, one tattoo on each wrist would be unsealed

“At first I thought it was a coincidence but now it is certain that two seals are released every tiives a passive skill which will increaseive an active skill which such as Dehting monsters But now Demonic Detection……”

Ark smiled wryly at the infory and finding demons If he had this skill before then he could’ve discovered the Soul Eater instantly Wasn’t that just a case of receiving the skill after the need was over? It also appeared too late when he was dealing with Karma…However, he discovered that there was more to the skills learnt after the seals were released In New World it was possible to change to the 3rd stage profession In other words, there was still one profession left after Dark Soul And Eternal Soul was probably the profession after Dark Soul So releasing the seals quickly was a good thing

“Anyway, has all my business here finished?”

Ark looked up at the clear, blue sky with a refreshed look The black do Mountain for hundreds of years had disappeared When the Soul Eater disappeared, Dragonian was also returned to nor around the chaos space for hundreds of years re-joined with Dragonian The lava now only circled Dragonian like it was an architectural feature The reason for this was because the Soul Eater had broken the surrounding pieces of land when fighting Ark When Dragonian returned to normal, Lumines instantly appeared

“Existences born in the presence of fire, go to your eternal rest!”

Lumines used the purification power of his flames on the souls of the Fire Draconians and they disappeared After ensuring that all the souls were gone, Lumines walked over to Ark

“I really thank you”

Lumines said with an expression mixed with sadness and joy He was happy that the souls were freed after hundreds of years but felt grief when they had to leave

“It is just lucky that I could help”

“It’s regrettable but this will be the last time I see you”

“Huh?”

Ark asked Lumines who replied

“I’ve been protecting this place for hundreds of years I said I ao But I couldn’t bear to leave the souls of my kin enslaved by the devil so I used to holy power of the Oracle to live Now that the souls of the Fire Draconians have been liberated, I will also move on to that place”

“Then the Fire Draconians……?”

“We probably won’t appear in this world anymore”

Lumines murmured with a sad expression The Fire Draconian who had been waiting hundreds of years for the curse to be released also knew the whole time that it meant the extinction of his clan But then Luave a small smile

“Obviously the Fire Draconians will disappear froone But I don’t think it is the end of the Fire Draconians

The will of the Fire Draconians will live on through you”

“Huh? What are you…?”

“I’ve been worried for a long ti at the wards Even our enemies didn’t care about this place until you cath and courage to free the souls of the Fire Draconians You have showna true hero requires As the last Oracle of the Fire Draconians, I have the responsibility to compensate you for what you have done”

‘Quest reward?’

Ark’s eyes lit up like a lantern In fact, Ark didn’t really have any interest in Lu he could do so why should hethe quest while listening to Lu to receive so

“Co”

Luonian

‘What will he give? I’ve saved the Fire Draconians so shouldn’t the reward be pretty good? Of course it will be good Howit?’

Ark was filled with anticipation as he followed Luuided Ark to the centre of the castle where so the Fire Draconians were lined up in a circle Lumines indicated towards an altar in the centre of the statues and said

“Step up to that altar”

‘Eh? What? He’s not giving an iteain?’

The atave hiht he would receive Blessing of Fire again when he had entered the wards But it took almost ten days to co the wendigoes Anyway, didn’t he suffer a crisis in Dragonian froh such troubles then Blessing of Fire alone wouldn’t be sufficient Then Luround and shouted

“Original fire, please bless this chosen hero with your sacred fire!”

It was at that time The statues of the Fire Draconians lined up started to spin They all faced the altar where their ed He was subjected to flames from dozens of statues! While Ark was in the ht and the informationpopped up

-Thanks to the sacred altar fire, you have learnt the ‘Descent of the Fire Draconian’ skill!

[Descent of the Fire Draconian]: Divine Skill

After being blessed by the sacred altar fire, you are the brave warrior selected who can use the Fire Draconian’s ultimate skill Descent of the Fire Draconian is a revered skill which causes an explosion of sudden power This skill is only h generations of Guardians protecting the te Descent of the Fire Draconian, you will accept the holy power into your body which will cause an ‘Immortal Fire Draconian’ effect

All enee

Fire resistance increases to 500 and all party members’ fire resistance will increase to 100

When activated, all enee while 50 of the user’s health will be restored

<spiritual power=”” consumption:=”” 400=””>

-You have learnt a Divine skill

The Divine skill is a high ranking skill passed down frootten Gods The only way huh the ancient secret arts In addition, trey is needed to use the power of the Gods Therefore humans can only use the Divine skill in special areas It is the skill which can amplify the user’s abilities, Area Declaration

Divine skill can only be used within the Area Declaration territory of your profession

If you leave the area after using the Divine skill then its effects would disappear

‘D-divine skill!’

Ark’s ht of the informationIt was a skill with 5 different effects Moreover, the effects were so strong it was like an advanced skill Especially the one where he dealt 1000 fire da 50 of his health There was also a 50 increase in all types of speed! And the additional fire dae! The fire resistance also increased for all his party mee! It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he was almost invincible for the 10 minutes the skill was activated

‘It is truly worthy of being called a Divine skill!’

The Divine skill Ark had experienced before was the ‘Indra’s Lightning’ that the Red Man had used It was an enoric which took care of Ark, Shambala and Lariette with one blow! Just like the name ‘Immortal Fire Draconian,’ he was certainly iered However, there was a fatal weakness in the Divine skill It was only available within the territory of Area Declaration That is to say, it was a less skill if he couldn’t use Area Declaration If he knew that inforainst the Red Man

‘Even though a user hting againstmonster then I can use it to win’

“Now it is like you are a Fire Draconian”

“I will use it wisely for the honour of the Fire Draconians”

Luht for a short tiain

“……Can I ask you for one last favour?”

‘A favour?’

Was his true colours revealed after giving Ark so? However, he alelcomed the request of an NPC A request froh he hadn’t received any money from the Fire Draconian’s quests, he did receive a lot of stat increase

“Please say it I am already a member of the honourable Fire Draconian clan”

“Thank you You’ve proven your courage and capabilities through rescuing the Fire Draconians I believe in your courage and capabilities so I want to ask this of you The other day I said that Magura stole the Immortal Book which had been house in the Fire Draconian’s temple The Immortal Book is an ancient treasure of the Fire Draconians that I can’t stand to see in Magura’s hands Please look for the Immortal Book”

“Magura…I understand Where is he?”

Ark asked with a questioning expression But Luhed

“I do not know the details The only clue is this slab left behind when Valderas returned to Dragonian I’ve been trying to find clues using this slab but I still haven’t figured it out”

Lumines took out a small stone tablet An eerie aura surrounded it and it seeht not know the exact location but he did have a clue

“I understand”

Ark nodded and the quest informationupdated

-The quest has been updated

Souls of the Fire Draconians= Deura!

The deura was one of the demons who spearheaded the Dark Lord’s attacks Hundreds of years ago, Magura led astray one of the Fire Draconians which led to their destruction You ura stole from the Fire Draconians and take it back If you find the deura then you will also find clues to the Dark Lord

<difficulty: ☆☆☆=”” quest=”” restriction:=”” completion=”” of=”” home=”” of=”” the=”” fire=”” draconian=”” iii=”” quest=””>

-bloody Slate (Quest Item)

A carved slate with ancient characters written using the blood of a demon

<200 knowledge=”” of=”” ancient=”” relics=”” is=”” needed=”” to=”” confirm=”” the=”” item=””>

‘A Lore quest!’

The degree of difficulty indicated that it was a lore quest These quests were deeply associated with the history of New World When he had previously coiven stars as a special reward Ark had currently gathered 7 of theura quest then he would receive 10

‘I don’t knohat kind of coiven……’

When considering the degree of difficulty with his Lore quests so far, the reward shouldn’t be trivial

‘I have to settle this But I can’t find Magura until I can decipher the slate? I need to wait until I have 200 points in Knowledge of Ancient Relics’

“I understand I will be happy to solve the feud of the Fire Draconians!”

“I believe…”

Luishly nodded at Ark’s answer Then his eyes closed His body then turned to stone like the other Fire Draconians before there was a crack and the statue turned to powder He wason just like he said So all the missions were solved but the Fire Draconians had becoue

“Somehow there is a bitter aftertaste to this quest”

Ark murmured with an uncomfortable expression While all the other statues had turned to powder and scattered, only Lumines’ pile of powder stayed in one spot

“Is he not leaving this place even after dying? Maybe Magura’s curse on the Fire Draconians also had an effect on Lumines Elemental sword, Wind attribute!”

Ark thought it was slightly pitiful and used his Ele his sword to blow Lu Mountain

“Now he’s probably free Uh? What the, this is?”

Ark tilted his head to one side as the powder fleay When he bleay Luht it was a simple skull but when he approached closely he realized it wasn’t ordinary He looked at the information

-Fire Draconian Skull (Rare, Material)

<it is=”” impossible=”” to=”” confirm=”” the=”” information=”” on=”” fire=”” draconian=”” skull=””>

‘What the? A material item?’

Ark hadn’t expected to find an item when Lumines had left Anyway, Razak showed extreme interest when a bone was found However, Lumines’ skull was 3 metres If Razak put on this skull then it would be impossible for hi ti his head

‘Heh, even Razak realizes the bone can’t be used But it is a rare material item so it will probably become useful’

Ark put away the skull and left Dragonian Then Dragonian started to shake Cracks spread through the ground and lava eradually sank into the lava
