Son Of Chaos 67 Soul Absorb

* So this is how the soul form of other beings look.*, Ivan thought. Maybe because the creatures he had slain before he had never before seen another soul form than hi own.

They were only visible to him when he was in soul form, so he hadn't seen the ones in the dungeon before.

* Hm, they are quite different from my soul form. Is it because of a difference in strength?*, he couldn't help but wonder. Unlike these cloud like soul forms, his was much more like his normal body. The only difference was that his soul form was slightly transparent.

He ran towards the soul form of the vine and easily catcht it, since it didn't have any combat power in its soul form. It felt like cotton and was very comfortable to the touch.

* Wow, if only I could make a bed out of this.*

After this fleeting thought he bit down on the vine and a taste like cotton candy spread in his mouth. * This tastes awesome. I'm sure Jane would love this. *

It wasn't long until he had completely eaten up the vine's soul form. As soon the last bit of it reached his stomach a warm feeling spread out from his stomach slowly seeping to his entire soul form.

Even though there was no change to be observed from the outside, he had the feeling that his soul form had become slightly stronger.

* Awesome. Maybe if I eat enough I can make a tertiary soul form and so on. * After he had created his secondary soul form his main soul form had been weakened and he was unable to make another one, but now there might be a chance to make more.

After that he continued to hunt more soul forms and soon he had reached the 20 required for the quest.

< congratulations="" you="" have="" finished="" the="" quest="" gaining="" strength="">

You have been rewarded with the skill Soul Absorb (SS) >>

< soul="" absorb="" (ss)="" lvl.="">

You can now absorb a part of the soul form of the creatures you slay.

The description was short and what he had expected. Now he had a way to strengthen his soul form besides hunting soul forms in this dungeons, while being in soul form himself.

* If only I knew what else this soul form can be used for.* Even though he had found a few uses of the soul form, he still had the feeling that there should be more about it.

Now that the quest was finished he once again had the option to revive and he didn't hesitate to choose it. He then hurriedly checked his stats and found to his surprise that his Magic Power had increased to 35, which was quite a bit higher that before he entered the dungeon.

" Not even a day has pa.s.sed and it increased by this much? ", he couldn't help but exclaim. Sadly there was n.o.body that could react to his question as his Bat Vlada was the only one around, and she only laid besides him sleeping.

"Could the development of the Flame Enchantment really be that influential?"

Thinking about it, he was sure that this was the reason. He just wasn't sure if it was the act of developing a skill itself or his increasing control over his mana that was pivotal.

* Maybe I should create another skill?*, he couldn't help but think about it. But soon he threw away the idea as unrealistic. He had only been able to develop it because of an enlightenment during the fight.

* For now I should leave this dungeon. Since I have no chance to defeat the Murderous Treant for now it is useless for me to stay here. *

After getting slaughtered so easily by the Murderous Treant he had realized that he wouldn't be able to slay it anytime soon. At first he was wondering why there was such a strong boss at this level. And why he hadn't heard about it before, but now he was sure that it had something to do with the legacy quest and that the other explorers had never even met that Murderous Treant.

As long as he was unable to slay the treant there was no way he could clear this floor and gain the elixir from the mana fountain. It would be useless to stay in this dungeon, since it was highly unlikely that he would be able to collect enough herb stones on the first floor alone.

Now it would be best to go back to his old plan of just focusing on pill refining.

Decisively he stood up and called his pet.

"Let's go Vlada. It is time to go back."

Then the two of them moved towards the entrance of the dungeon.

Soon it was the day before the tournament and his stock of medical herbs was nearly used up too, He had just finished refining the second to last potion of pills.

" Wow! ", he couldn't help but exclaim when he looked at the result of this round of pill refining. Not only were there two pills of good quality. There even was one of perfect quality.

< small="" healing="" pill="" ,="" rank="" f="" ,="" quality:="">

A perfect version of the Small Healing Pill. This pill is able to heal a persons small flesh wounds in a short time, as well as replenish a small amount of blood. It is much more effective than one of lower quality.

>>

It was the first time that he had managed to refine a pill of the Perfect quality and he was overflowing with happiness. After all an increase of quality wasn't just a simple linear increase of effectiveness. It was also a sign that his skill in pill refining had pa.s.sed a threshold and he could now officially call himself a pill refiner.
