Chapter 317 [Quest Complete]
"Range? An average person should have around 100 Divine Energy in the lowest divine realm, while those below that realm don't have any," Aarick spoke as he recalled the basics before I nodded.
[Universal Energy: 20/20]
Seems like I am lower than the lowest. Well, whatever. There is always a start.
"All right. Let's check out the other siblings while we are at it," I spoke as I looked at Diaspora, who was still curious about . Her eyes were really itching to know my thod of absorption. Wasn't she just mourning her dead sibling a few monts ago?
I then turned to Aarick, who supposedly is the catalyst to her 'cheering up'. Just what did this guy do?
Well, it doesn't really concern as much.
"Show us the way, Dia," Aarick spoke as Diaspora snapped out of her stupor before she looked at Aarick and nodded. She then turned towards the way where the other siblings were.
The next one was dead as well, but there were a few evil spirits present there. Killing them wasn't hard, so Aarick and I finished them off easily. After that, the next room was empty and so was the other one.
It took ti, but we moved in 8 more rooms before returning to the main room. While the [Kill Unwanted Energy Beings] part of the quest was completed, the other two [Purify all the souls in the abode] and [Find the hidden pieces of the Soul] were still left.
But there was only one being here.
"What now? I don't think there is anything left here. All the treasures were stolen. I made sure to check it twice," Aarick spoke with a sad tone. When the heck did he check? And how?
"Well. Since you both have done what you could do, should I try sothing?" I spoke as I looked at both of them. They both observed with slight curiosity as I moved towards Diaspora.
Reaching towards her, I then patted her head while observing the System. Sure enough, I got a ssage.
[You are in connection with a bonded Sentient Being]
[The Fractions of Corruption and Divine Energy are intertwined within the being!]
[Would you like to absorb the Fractions of Corruption Energy?]
[Would you like to absorb the Fractions of Divine Energy?]
I clicked on the first option, but another ssage appeared in front of .
[If you take in all the energy at once, the being will die. If you want to save the being, then would you like the process to go slowly? The addition of Active Ti Manipulation and Ti Reduction will be applied automatically]
Two more options ca with [Slow] and [Fast] on it.
"Let's set you free first," I muttered as I chose the [Slow] option.
And a rapid energy flow began through Diaspora as all her corruption energy began evaporating. Even though it said it was slow, with the speed it was going on, I don't think it will take even a few minutes.
I looked at Diaspora, observing with a complex expression. Her eyes questioning my motives… seems like she could feel her life force getting better. I took a peek and saw Aarick standing there with his hands folded while he observed with a silent expression.
And just like that, ti passed before not only her, but the entire dungeon began glowing at an insane speed. It seed like they both were connected to each other.
But it seems like a few months were attracted to it as well…
Using the [Space Ti System!] I saw a wave of monsters running towards her at an insane speed. It seems they were attracted to the energy here?
"How much longer will it take?" Aarick spoke as he took out a sword from thin air. It was a bright red sword that seed to contain so dark power in it. Honestly, it felt alive… in a creepy way.
"About a minute more," I answered him and he sighed in relief before he took a familiar stance. Taking a step behind, he adjusted the distance between his legs. Using his grip strength, he moved his fingers a bit closer to the blade. And positioning it in a sheathed position, he then muttered,
"[Ground Zero: First Slash]!"
His eyes glead golden while his sword coated in black as his blade took the form of a demon… and before my eyes, I saw the dragon unleashed at the incoming wave of monsters, as it reached them, eating all of them alive at once.
Though it didn't stop just there, it kept going on for a long ti until it reached a point where I couldn't see it anymore. Aarick who perford the feat, then put the sword back into its space. His eyes smiled in satisfaction while he looked at my stupefied face.
'How the heck he knows that slash?'
Well, Rhea did tell that there are many who know this slash, so if I get strong I would end up eting them, but to think I would et soone this early. But wait…
'It wasn't the sa slash that I use,' I realized as I analyzed his slash again. While mine was a simple slash that contained pure and absolute power, his contained pure evil intent. Maybe I should ask Rhea for details later.
"Seems like you are done as well," Aarick spoke as he looked at the process, almost finished, and I nodded. It seed like Diaspora had completely gone through a makeover.
Her dark blue hair now seed lighter, while the glow seed more refreshing than blinding. Her eyes, which were dark red before, were now glowing like a ruby. Though the major change was the presence of golden scales on her cheeks and a few on her arms and sides.
I removed my hand as I saw her face once again, this ti more serene than before, more beautiful than before.
"Why?" she asked as she looked at with her face riddled with doubt.
"I was rude to you… I even put you on the level of a slave… It would make more sense if you were to kill on the spot. But why did you go as far as to remove all my dark essence, even helping evolve into a purer form?" She asked as she looked at , while I just smiled.
'All that happened?' I questioned behind that benevolent smile of mine.
I just wanted to finish the quest.
"This is what kindness looks like," I answered as I copied Aisha's line from before. It was a really cool line, so I wanted to use it at least once.
Seems like it had a positive effect on her, as she seed enchanted by my words. Turning around to Aarick… Oi! Oi! Oi! Why are you enchanted too?
Well, leaving those idiots behind, I concentrated on the System ssage.
[Quest Complete: Clear the lair of the Dragon of Lies and Truth!]
[ 5 Skill Points Received!]
[ 5 Stat Points Received!]
[ 2 Skill Mastery Points Received!]
[ Key to the Dungeon of Lies and Truth Received!]
'Well, since I have a few more Skill Mastery Points, I could try upgrading one of the Skills?' I thought as I looked back at the System once more.
