Before he could get down to serious business with Ren Jia, the notifications in his system interface though started raining down upon him non-stop.
! Warning! Puppet 47 has been destroyed. Using 0.077 Spirit Power to regenerate!
! Warning! Puppet 49 has been destroyed. Using 0.076 Spirit Power to regenerate!
! Warning! Puppet 48 has been destroyed. Using 0.078 Spirit Power to regenerate!
…
In less than 3 seconds he received about a dozen of these notifications, as he could feel that his spirit power was being depleted continuously.
Puppets from 35 to 49 had been completely destroyed in a short amount of ti, while his heart was beating hard for the rest.
But that wasn't the biggest problem at the mont. the worst part was that if he didn't do sothing about those destroyed puppets of his then he would lose Spirit Power as they regenerated.
At the mont he had quite the capacity, but it wasn't infinite, and the rate of losing Spirit Power was just too strong.
There were two ways he could think about at that mont, one was cutting the costs, and the second increasing the profits.
aning that he would either have to forsake those Puppets, so he wouldn't spend his Spirit Power on their regeneration, or he would have to drink a few Spirit Strengthening Potions.
These potions were really good as they were able to almost instantly replenish his lost Spirit Power but they cost quite a bit of Spirit Power and honestly, he didn't feel like it was worth it.
With that thought in mind, he imdiately brought in his mind the connections with those puppets, and imdiately cut them down.
He didn't really know what was going on, as he wasn't even inside the tunnel at that mont, but he could feel that it was nothing simple.
Whatever it was this ti, the enemy was too powerful for his Puppets to deal with, and it was taking down his puppets like it was fighting children.
There must be sothing wrong with it, his face imdiately grew cold and solemn, as he stood up together with Ren Jia, and then releasing her he made his way towards the entrance.
The mont he stepped beyond that entrance door he felt all the air through his body started to stand, as his heart was beating harder and faster.
It was a feeling of danger, and trouble, mixed with excitent and emotion. He didn't know when, but his heart had started to beat faster whenever he was facing a dangerous situation.
Weirdly though, even though his heart was beating like so kind of swift bird's wings, his mind and soul were calm and focused.
After those dozen notifications of his puppets falling down, he didn't receive another, as he had already broken the link with them.
The other puppets were coming back to him, but the dangerous feeling wasn't going away. Neither was his excitent about this situation.
In a short ti finally, his remaining puppets managed to return back from their mission lead by his Soul Clone, but there was nothing and no one behind them.
That made Eric quite a bit surprised, and worried about this situation, as he thought that his enemy might have stealth mode or sothing.
As soon as he thought about that, he quickly pulled back behind the entrance, as the puppets approached it without being able to get out.
That was sothing that he expected so he didn't say or do sothing special about it, in fact, he completely ignored the fact as the connected with his Soul Separation and read its mories.
In those mories, he saw his puppets form 4 different groups with a distance of more than 30 ters from each other as they proceeded forward.
The strongest puppet that also had his Soul Separation controlling it, wasn't in the lead but behind at the second team.
That was Eric's personal arrangent as he didn't want his Soul Separation to get destroyed quickly without him being able to fully control its creation and abilities.
For that reason, he had decided to keep that thing covered well in the second team, and in case sothing bad happened it was ordered to take his security as a priority.
There wasn't much visual in those mories as the tunnel was darker and darker inside, but he could hear the sounds of tal and stone clashing.
In fact, it would be more appropriate to say that the tal was hitting, while the stone was crashing, which ant that most probably the opponent this ti was a tallic puppet.
He had no idea about its compositions, abilities, and stats, but he could tell that the strength of the puppet was pretty close to his.
And that was just one puppet, what if there were others. His stone puppets shouldn't be those tallics puppets opponents.
But at the sa ti, he found out sothing important, that tallic puppet had destroyed only the first team, in that short amount of ti.
The remaining three teams that hadn't moved after encountering trouble weren't disturbed in the least.
This ant that either the distance had sothing to do with this, or the puppet didn't want to act.
No matter how intelligent a puppet is though they are unable to think emotionally like a human being, aning that it must be the first conclusion.
So as long as he was able to keep a distance from those puppets, they would be unable to notice him, then what if he stood at a distance and took care of them.
But at the sa ti, he had to take care of the distance for his soul thread, which made the situation quite a bit complicated.
Still, this gave him quite a beautiful idea, he didn't need to use strength to fight a full fight with these puppets, he only had to pull them towards himself, and deal with them one by one.
Most probably if he hadn't followed his 5 first puppets when he went beyond the 100 ters mark, most probably these 50 puppets wouldn't have attacked in full strength.
He had an idea that these puppets were activated only depending on the needed strength to take on the intruder.
More than a trapping place, it seed like it was a testing site, or sothing similar.
He didn't know how that guy on his previous life had managed to pass through this test, but since he had done it, Eric could do it too.
Without losing much ti, he quickly ordered his puppets to be ready for any unexpected developnt, as he himself prepared another Body Tempering Liquid bath for himself.
The stronger he was, the better would be his chances against the puppets ahead. Furthermore, he felt like this test was a great opportunity for him and he couldn't bear himself to let it go away.
As soon as everything was ready, he gave a few instructions to Ren Jia, and then entered the bathtub.
This ti it took him around 1 hour in the dicinal bath for him to break through the next two limits and levels of his body, and finally reach level 100.
He didn't have to pass out this ti, but the pain was still the sa, he started worrying that soday he might start liking this pain and beco a Masochist but that was sothing he couldn't allow to happen.
When the dicinal bath was over, and he felt strength, power, and energy rush through his body, he heard the generic voice of the system.
!!! Warning! The Legacy System has detected that the Host has t all the requirents for evolving to Realm 2!
In order for the Host to evolve to Realm 2, the Host needs to deepen the connection with the Legacy System!
Would the Host agree to the deeper rge and evolvent!? YES/NO
Diamond Package is offered if the Host accepts the rge and evolvent!
Eric felt that everyone in his stead would have imdiately selected the evolving process and entered the second Realm, but he felt like this was just too good to be true.
So bridges were ant to cross when he had to, but he felt that the bridge he was now, was extrely dangerous.
This whole thing was extrely mysterious and difficult to handle. He could still rember those crazy offers from the system about that Dragon Egg thing.
He didn't know why, but he felt like the system's intentions weren't as good as he previously thought they were.
There was nothing sothing like a free lunch in this world, and such a Divine Artifact, and such a system wouldn't gift him things just because he had the system.
After all, no matter what he knew that he wasn't the only one who had a piece of the Divine Artifact's storage, there were 8 others as well.
He didn't know the true purpose or intention of his system, but it was clear that the System's loyalty wasn't towards him, but most probably towards its creator.
This thing saw Eric as nothing more than so kind of helping tool to achieve his goals and would help him as long as he was relevant or helpful.
Otherwise, his system wouldn't have frozen all the other functions besides the Shop function where he could buy and sell to his wish.
SP points were extrely difficult to earn, but he felt that it was a way for the System to gain energy through him, even though he didn't understand how it happened.
Thinking like this it was impossible for him to accept this evolvent, as he quickly selected no…
