Sacred Souls: Genesis

Chapter 100: Chapter 99: The End of the Road

The red-clad knight had survived, not only had he survived, but he also took the opportunity to sneak out of the graveyard while the holy spirits were assaulting the Obliteration Legion.

His escape route was through a teleportation portal unnoticed by anyone.

This small portal helped him successfully return to his own Mage Tower, and the red-clad knight planned to escape to another plane through the Mage Tower.

But… where was the Mage Tower?

Where had his enormous Mage Tower, which was previously right here, gone?

The red-clad knight was teleported to a set of ruins, and deduced from the magic traces in the bricks that this was indeed the Mage Tower where he used to live.

...

In the ruins of the Mage Tower, the red-clad knight saw a familiar figure, Mei, who had previously been recruited by him.

“You are indeed still alive! I have been waiting for you for so long!”

Mei, upon seeing the red-clad knight, joyfully ran to his side and sized him up and down.

The red-clad knight now looked extremely miserable, not to mention his tattered clothing; his body was filled with various types of wounds, and just by looking at him, one would be astonished how he had managed to survive.

“Hurry and use your spells to heal me!” The reason why the red-clad knight had recruited Mei was because of her exceptionally strong healing magic.

“Heal? You only have three thousand health left, why should I still heal you?” Mei retorted.

Three thousand health? Shouldn’t I be treated precisely because I’m seriously injured?

But the red-clad knight felt that the way Mei looked at him… was like a little piggy snorting and running away.

Mei was the manager of a pig farm, and now the little piggy had fattened up and it was time for slaughter!

During this divine battle, Mei had made a satisfactory profit; she had participated in the battle against the Obliteration Legion and successfully acquired two pieces of special equipment, worth roughly one hundred thousand on the online platform 4396.

And at the end of the battle, Mei’s acute intuition made her realise that the red-clad knight had not died and would likely slip back to his Mage Tower.

So Mei ran to the entrance of the Mage Tower and lay in wait for the red-clad knight, casually moving some miscellaneous items from inside the Mage Tower, then stashing them away in a warehouse.

“I still have the power to kill you! Heal me now!” The red-clad knight’s magic wand erupted with a powerful magical aura, and a phantom demon appeared by his side.

Now, Mei was clad in unremarkable plain clothes that made her look just like a village girl, possessing no intimidating presence whatsoever.

This was why she had managed to infiltrate the red-clad knight’s Mage Tower.

“Very good, very good, the warehouse is full of materials, and I really want the suit you’re wearing too.”

Mei brushed off the dust on her hands, and this statement completely enraged the red-clad knight; the phantom demon beside him opened its large mouth and lunged at Mei.

The demon’s fierce pounce was vicious, but as its huge mouth snapped shut, it bit into a massive cross instead.

“You!”

“Let me grant you your final journey.”

Under the astonished gaze of the red-clad knight, Mei’s plain clothes instantly transformed into particles of light and disappeared, replaced by a suit of armor emanating the aura of holy light.

This village girl had evolved into a mighty Judgment Priest in an instant!

“Should I say something at a time like this?” Mei’s left hand revealed a Bible infused with the power of holy light, a book she had received after her awakening, known as the Gospel.

Milk Adder, No Extra Charge found the game design of Spirit Summoner very interesting because the game featured many collection elements.

She had already obtained her awakening skill, yet the series of awakening quests were still ongoing. Just like Zhao Mingwei’s Mind Energy Master had a main career line to collect Mind Energy tattoos, Milk Adder, No Extra Charge, as a healer, also had a main career line that involved collecting pages from the Gospel.

“You should regret betraying Queen Mei,” said Milk Adder, No Extra Charge as she closed the Gospel in her hands. A giant cross made of Holy Light appeared behind her. “I hope you learn your lesson by the time you respawn.” @@novelbin@@

“You can’t do this!” The Red Knight sensed the powerful force contained in the cross behind Milk Adder, No Extra Charge, but it was too late… The cross erupted with blinding Holy Light energy, burning the Red Knight to ashes bit by bit like flames.

Finally, under the wails of the Red Knight, he was completely turned into ashes by the Holy Light.

‘Congratulations on slaying the Red Knight, you have received a reward of one thousand Red Order Medals!’

“A thousand medals still aren’t enough to exchange for a full set; I’ll have to wait for the next event,” Milk Adder, No Extra Charge muttered to herself.

Milk Adder, No Extra Charge sat on the ruins of the Mage Tower in distress.

The first battle of divinity should end here, Milk Adder, No Extra Charge opened her backpack and began to check her finances.

“Wind Speed Totem, and the Black Sky’s Eye… Only fifty thousand for 4396? Should I stock up, no, after the second Abyss Hunt, there will be more Special Equipment and the prices are supposed to drop, right?”

Milk Adder, No Extra Charge logged onto the largest game item trading website in the country to check the prices of the two Special Equipment she just looted.

She was a straightforward and naive person; her main purpose in playing games was to earn money by converting in-game Gold Coins and game items into stacks of cash.

What troubled Milk Adder, No Extra Charge was that there were over nine thousand real cash in her backpack that she couldn’t take into the real world, a fact she hadn’t shared with anyone.

‘Did the streamer sell Gold Coins again? Why not hold onto them? They’re bound to appreciate in value.’

‘Financial advisor streamer confirmed, seriously, is the streamer that broke in real life?’

“Broke, if I say I have a terminal illness and I won’t survive without enough money for treatment, would you all donate?” Milk Adder, No Extra Charge joked as she saw the comments floating across the live broadcast “Also, my designated donation email is in the bottom right corner, if you find the streamer cute, please give me money!”

‘Is the streamer really terminally ill?’

‘Begging streamer, that’s new.’

Milk Adder, No Extra Charge ignored the teasing comments on her live stream and started checking the price trends of Spirit Gold Coins on 4396.

Since the launch of the game, the price of Spirit Gold Coins had been skyrocketing. Milk Adder, No Extra Charge, who once studied the stock market seriously, now found the rising price of Spirit Gold much more substantial than any stock.

If she had enough capital, she would probably hoard a large amount of Spirit Gold Coins and then sell them. By then, she could be the second richest woman in the country!

All of this was just Milk Adder, No Extra Charge’s fantasy.

Truly, Spirit Gold Coins were tough to grind; Milk Adder, No Extra Charge had only collected two thousand four hundred so far.

“Should I save up more for a while?” Milk Adder, No Extra Charge again found herself torn as the growth rate of the Spirit Gold Coin prices showed signs of slowing, the price stabilizing at one to three hundred forty.

Her indecision didn’t last long, as a system notification popped up before her eyes.

‘The Spirit Summoner server will undergo maintenance tomorrow at midnight for twelve hours. Please prepare accordingly, players.’

Maintenance? Does this mean a major update is coming?

“Stock up! Time to make a silent fortune!” Milk Adder, No Extra Charge decisively made her choice.
