The battle had ended.
The health bar and Soul Power above Wu Xiaode’s head had vanished completely.
With a sense of sothing amiss, he unexpectedly glanced toward the ground.
He saw Davel’s corpse lying there, with a spot faintly emanating light.
Wu Xiaode’s eyes focused sharply.
A line of ice crystal text suddenly appeared before his eyes:
"High-level Healing Skill, Instant Scroll, can be released with a touch of Soul Power."
So close!
Davel had been about to heal its own wounds.
However, perhaps out of arrogance, or perhaps never having considered the possibility, it ultimately decided to engage in one last exchange of blows with him.
—It had imnse confidence in its Sword Skill.
After all, every technique known to all beings had been defeated by it.
Unfortunately for it, it had t him.
Knowing he couldn’t match it in strength, Wu Xiaode had opted to fight desperately.
This was the turning point of the entire battle.
The ice crystal text disappeared, and several new lines erged before Wu Xiaode’s eyes:
"Do you wish to leave the corpses produced in the current battle to this ability?"
"The current version number of this ability is: 1.0."
"This ability needs to absorb the energy of the defeated to evolve, continuously optimizing various combat environnts and contents, and release more powerful battle functions."
Wu Xiaode pondered for a mont.
It seed that Death Skills could be upgraded continually.
—Silent Demon Mist was one such skill, and so were the Shadow Followers.
Therefore, "Wrath" must also be capable of evolution, but what it needed was no longer the sacrifice of abilities or the power of will.
After all, it had already accepted the sacrifice of a hundred billion in the power of will and various other abilities.
Now, it had its own thod.
"Take it," Wu Xiaode said.
The vertical pupil in midair suddenly emitted a buzzing sound again:
"The defeated party has many followers."
"Next, its followers will discover the situation here and co rushing to its rescue."
"What? It’s dead and can still be resurrected?" Wu Xiaode asked.
"Of course, so I need to absorb its power quickly, and you need to cover for ," the vertical pupil responded.
"That’s simple," Wu Xiaode said.
He released a glaze-colored fla over his whole body, enveloping the vertical pupil, the corpse, and the entire battlefield.
—Evernight City!
Even the Infinite Tribulation couldn’t detect the presence concealed within Evernight City.
If those arriving were Davel’s followers, they would presumably have no way of finding this place.
To confirm this, Wu Xiaode simply stood still and calmly waited.
Ulysses suddenly popped out, with a gold brick above his head, chanting loudly:
"Heal!"
Threads of Holy Light fell upon Wu Xiaode.
He pulled out the sword from his chest and tossed it to the ground, quietly waiting for the wounds on his body to heal.
A few monts passed.
His body was fully restored.
anwhile, Davel’s corpse, along with the sword, had already started to seep gradually into the ground.
Soon enough.
They sank into the ground and disappeared from sight.
No one attacked.
Wu Xiaode let out a slight sigh of relief—
This was indeed good news.
In midair, the vertical pupil emitted the buzzing sound again:
"Currently absorbed: The White Bone Demon Worm Davel’s weapons, scrolls, and corpse."
"As the opponent provided an extrely large amount of Infinite Tribulation Power, this ability will now undergo a complete evolution."
"Please choose from the following three directions for the upgrade:"
"1. Battle scene;"
"—You may set a battle scene that will better suit your combat;"
"2. Trap;"
"—You can set a relatively simple trap to increase the difficulty of the opponent’s battle;"
"3. Non-combatant;"
"—Add a non-combatant (requires a special life form) to provide so assistance to your battle;"
"4. Other;"
"—You may customize the content to add."
After listening, Wu Xiaode fell into deep thought.
He couldn’t think of a battle scene for the mont.
Setting a trap seed like a fine idea.
In his recent battle with Davel, if there had been a pre-arranged trap, he might not have had to fight so hard.
As for adding a non-combatant or other elents, he had no inspiration at that mont.
While he was pondering, the vertical pupil issued another sound:
"Generally speaking, such a vast amount of Infinite Tribulation Power is extrely difficult to obtain, therefore this evolution will surely result in significant changes and improvents in the ability."
"Please take this upgrade seriously."
"It’s a rare opportunity."
"—The next upgrade will require twice as much Infinite Tribulation Power!"
Wu Xiaode, who was already taking this ability very seriously, heard this and beca even more cautious and careful.
After all, each Death Skill was a tool for his survival.
No amount of caution could be considered excessive.
He stood in place, pondering for tens of minutes, unable to make a decision.
At a certain mont.
By the side of Daville’s corpse, that high-level healing scroll once again erged in Wu Xiaode’s mind.
That’s right.
If Daville had been more cautious and released the scroll earlier, the outco of the battle might have been different.
In that case...
Wu Xiaode slowly ford a thought in his heart.
He spoke again:
"I need to add non-combat personnel."
The vertical pupil replied:
"Current number of non-combat personnel that can be added: 2."
"I can add two people right off the bat?" Wu Xiaode said in surprise.
"Yes, this promotion is almost a qualitative leap, please cherish it, as it will be very difficult to enhance this skill in the future," the vertical pupil said.
"Alright, I want to add non-combat personnel now," Wu Xiaode said.
"Please designate the personnel."
"My two Curse Sealed Angels."
Boom! Boom!
Two soft sounds in succession.
Two angels appeared before Wu Xiaode, dressed in magnificent and elegant long gowns.
"Wow!"
"We’re finally out!"
"It’s been so long since we’ve been in a battle. Our master can’t feed us enough, and we can’t make an appearance. It’s really sad."
"No, no, no—"
The two angels chattered away, and in the end, they even hugged each other and cried.
Wu Xiaode felt helpless.
His Soul Power wasn’t enough to summon them to battle.
There wasn’t anything that could be done about it.
However, now, with Infinite Tribulation Power left by Daville (what a good man he was), he had a sudden inspiration to leave the two Curse Sealed Angels here.
From now on, when using "Rage," it would be equivalent to letting them serve their purpose!
Wu Xiaode folded his arms and said:
"Hey, don’t make it sound so tragic. Haven’t I summoned you out now?"
The two sisters looked at him together.
"Master, this place is filled with an incredibly strong power, indeed allowing us to serve a purpose. But I feel like I cannot participate in the fight," said the Angel of Extre Good.
"Are we supposed to be cheerleaders? Please buy us a few more cheerleader outfits; we’ve been learning to dance lately," said the Judgent Angel.
Wu Xiaode shook his head and said, "What cheerleaders? You guys can’t even bestow various powers... Forget it, I’ll ask it."
He looked up at the vertical pupil in the sky and asked, "Can non-combat personnel here release their original powers to assist in battle?"
"They can," replied the vertical pupil.
Wu Xiaode breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the angels with a smile:
"That’s settled then, one of you can stop the enemy from healing, and the other can let gain the opponent’s abilities. That’s enough."
"Yay! That’s great!"
"This place is so big, it’s an entire world—everything is ours!"
"Let’s go shopping for clothes, since there’s no one around, we don’t have to pay."
"How about we go have a drink to celebrate first."
"Agreed!"
The two female angels chattered on.
Wu Xiaode felt like he was about to be driven crazy by the noise and waved his hands saying, "That’s enough, go and settle down by yourselves, just rember one thing—"
"When I fight, you should co and help out."
"By your command, master!" the two angels said in unison.
"The master has just had a fight and must be tired. Do you want us to help you take a bath?" cooed the Angel of Extre Good.
"Go play, and don’t co teasing ."
Wu Xiaode waved his hand dismissively, indicating for them to go have fun on their own.
Seeing him so heartless, the two angels pouted and unhappily walked toward the tavern in the small town.
—In this parallel world, not a single living person existed, but all the objects maintained their original appearance.
The two angels planned to go for a drink and then go shopping for clothes.
"Wait, they can’t leave yet."
The vertical pupil suddenly buzzed.
The two angels stopped in their tracks and turned around in surprise.
Wu Xiaode also looked up, unable to help asking:
"Is there sothing else?"
"The non-combat personnel you’ve summoned must possess official professions to stay within the current skill scene," the vertical pupil said.
"Professions?" asked Wu Xiaode, puzzled.
"That’s right. Even if they are Curse Sealed Angels, they must have professions related to this skill; otherwise, their presence is aningless to this skill and cannot stay in this parallel world battlefield," explained the vertical pupil.
"Can we choose the professions?" asked Wu Xiaode.
"Please set their professions," said the vertical pupil simply.
Wu Xiaode looked at the two won.
The two won looked at each other and said in unison, "We want to be cheerleaders!"
"Cheerleading is always related, right? It counts as being connected!" said the Angel of Extre Good.
"Yeah, we’ll be dressed cool and cool, letting our master work while feasting his eyes and feeling refreshed; that’s our purpose," said the Judgent Angel.
"Who told you that you need to look at beauties while working," Wu Xiaode asked with a headache.
The Angel of Extre Good said seriously, "We also pay attention to society outside when we’re free, you know. Aren’t many groups fond of sharing risqué pictures? It’s said to be helpful for work."
"It’s useless; those kinds of groups are actually very distracting in battle. We usually don’t dare to open them in public places," Wu Xiaode waved his hands and sternly warned them.
The two won showed a contemplative expression.
"What should we do then? Master, co up with sothing quick. We like it here and don’t want to go back to sleeping and surfing the net every day," said the Judgent Angel.
After thinking for a mont, Wu Xiaode said, "I have a profession for you, and it will definitely be of help to ."
"What profession?" the two won asked together.
"Referees."
Wu Xiaode uttered the two words.
