[Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully slain the Chaotic Wraith and obtained 300 omnipotent points, 30 free attribute points.]
Seeing the notification, Rover let out a long breath, feeling a wave of relief in his heart.
"You saved me again." Leng Yan spoke at this moment. "We don't owe each other anything."
After saying that, she continued up to the upper floor. Rover glanced at her back, and then he also saw Chisaki.
But what was strange was that Chisaki was not in Room 2701. Instead, she was in Leng Yan's room. The door was slightly ajar, and she looked out, her gaze carrying a bit of worry and curiosity as she looked toward him.
Rover did not pay her much attention either. If she had already become Leng Yan's [Tenant], he did not want to have too much contact with her.
He also did not want to have any conflicts with a level 2 Survivor, especially a Survivor with terrifying adaptability and strength like Leng Yan.
Rover let out a sigh, steadied his emotions and breathing, and looked toward the notification panel.
He thought for a moment and decided to add 10 points to [Physique] and 20 points to [Spirit].
[Rover: Physique 39 | Spirit 64]
Feeling his power increase again, all of his fatigue vanished.
For the time being, he did not allocate attribute points to Nanoe and Selina, because right now, he was the main combat power.
After the mission ended, it would not be too late to share attribute points with them then.
"System, open the reward chest."
[Ding! Wraith Treasure Chest opened successfully, you have obtained:
Wraith Medicine - 150ml: The food Wraiths like the most. After a Wraith uses it, it can level up. Wraith Necklace - Rank C88: After wearing it, it will protect the wearer's soul from adverse effects from Wraiths. Wraith Gloves - Rank D03: Allows the wearer to deal physical damage to existences such as souls. Enhances the user's soul strength and physical strength. Wraith Jade - Rank B08: Can absorb souls to replenish energy. When the energy storage is full, you can use that energy to level up a Wraith.
The items you obtained have been placed inside your Backpack. Please check.]
Rover frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled, because most of the items he received were related to Wraiths. Only the [Wraith Necklace] and [Wraith Gloves] were useful to him.
He shook his head and did not think too much about it. In any case, right now, [Soul-Binding Chain] alone was already enough for him to fight with.
Rover put on the [Wraith Necklace], then looked toward the stairwell, stood up, and decided to take Naone and Selina down to the lower floors.
"Y-you... are you okay?" Chisaki suddenly spoke up at this moment.
Rover glanced at her and smiled. "Still okay. Have you decided to become her [Tenant]?"
Chisaki lowered her head in embarrassment and said softly, "Mm! Because... my door couldn't hold out anymore, so..."
Rover did not pay attention to her anymore and decided to take Nanoe and Selina with him.
Seeing that Rover did not care much about her, Chisaki felt a bit uncomfortable for reasons she could not understand.
But then she shook her head, thinking to herself, 'Alright, I don't need to feel guilty either. He only gave me a bit of food, so I don't need to care too much.'
Yet Chisaki forgot that this situation was completely different from Earth.
Back on Earth, food was abundant, and borrowing rations was just a trivial thing that did not matter.
But in this world, it was different. Food was scarce, and everyone had to fight over a little bit of food just to survive. When everyone was lacking food, someone still gave her food without asking for anything. She felt no gratitude, and instead thought it was only a small matter.
If Nanoe found out what she was thinking, she would probably use her gun to blow her head apart.
....
"Big brother!!" Millan screamed.
At this moment, Ryu had chopped off one of Dokai's arms and one of his legs, turning him into a meat shield to block the swarm of souls.
Millan was behind him, wailing in despair, her body bound tight by a rope to the point she could not move.
Countless souls slammed into Dokai's body, making his body tremble violently. Many places bulged like balloons, and then gradually formed human faces that were wailing.
Ryu frowned. He did not dare keep holding Dokai anymore. Instead, he threw Dokai into the distance.
Thud!
Dokai's body hit the floor heavily. Immediately after, the souls lunged toward his body like a pack of starving wolves spotting fresh meat.
"Uck! Uck! Uck!"
Dokai's body convulsed violently. From his mouth, a thick, pitch-black liquid continuously poured out. His eyes rolled back until only the whites remained, like a corpse.
"No! Big brother!!!" Millan screamed, tears pouring down like rain.
Ryu laughed in delight. "Hahahaha... perfect! As long as that trash pile of souls gets completely absorbed by this bastard's body, then when I kill him, it's the same as killing hundreds of souls. Hahahaha..."
Millan gritted her teeth, her beautiful face drenched in tears, her eyes filled with hatred as she stared at Ryu.ππ»πππππ«π£π€πππ΅.ππ€π’
"Bastard! I'll kill you!"
Smack!!!
Ryu swung his leg and kicked Millan in the face. The kick was so strong that she spat out a tooth, along with a mouthful of fresh blood.
But she did not scream. She turned her head and continued to stare at Ryu.
Ryu clenched his teeth and muttered a curse. "Fuck! You dare look at me like that? You..."
"AGH!!!!"
Suddenly, Dokai screamed. The scream echoed through the corridor, making both Ryu and Millan jolt.
They looked toward Dokai, and they were even more shocked because at this moment, the arm and leg that Ryu had cut off were being remade by the faces of the souls that had occupied his body.
But these faces were not wailing. Instead, they were laughing.
"Hahahaha... hahaha..."
"Kekeke... hahahaha..."
That laughter was mad and chaotic, so terrifying that Ryu forgot what he was about to do. His face showed obvious anxiety and fear as he stared at Dokai.
"Y-you... you..." Ryu subconsciously took two steps back. Sweat drenched his palm, yet he still gripped his long saber tightly.
"Impossible, how can you fuse with those souls?" Ryu shook his head, terror in his eyes. He stammered, unwilling to believe what was happening in front of him.
Dokai swayed as he rose to his feet. His body bulged, growing to more than 2.5 meters tall. Beneath his skin were large and small faces of uneven sizes, laughing wildly, as if they wanted to tear through his skin and burst out.
His severed arm and leg were replaced by countless distorted laughing faces. The laughter echoed through the corridor, making anyone who heard it break out in goosebumps.
Dokai's face was deathly pale. His eyes rolled back until only the whites remained. His mouth hung open, and countless smoky tentacles poured out from it, as if he had an octopus stuffed inside.
Ryu drew a deep breath, his legs beginning to tremble.
Even though he was already a level 2 Survivor, at this moment, facing Dokai, he felt fear. It gave him the sensation that he was facing an entire army of souls.
Ryu backed away, both hands trembling as he tried to hold his saber steady. His eyes gradually became dazed and terrified.
"D-don't come any closer." Ryu gritted his teeth, trying to recover a shred of his lost courage.
[Ding! Congratulations, you have found the Frenzied Wraith. From hell, hundreds of souls have fused together, using chaos and extreme madness to slaughter this world. However... he still seems to have a trace of humanity.]
Seeing the words [Frenzied Wraith], Ryu took a deep breath. He knew that right now, the only thing he needed to do was run.
After all, he had no weapon that could affect souls. Moreover, Dokai's body was both a soul form and a physical form. If Ryu hid in a room, he would still be caught by Dokai in the end.
There was only one way: run. Even if his room was destroyed, as long as he was alive, he could find a guest room as a shelter.
Although his room still contained a lot of resources he had looted, still... his life was more important.
Dokai looked toward Ryu. Those eyes, white like egg whites, terrified Ryu to the extreme. He did not hesitate at all and immediately fled.
When Dokai saw him run, he did not chase. He only looked toward Millan.
When Millan saw Dokai, she was not afraid. Instead, she cried, her eyes filled with pain and despair.
She whispered, "Big brother..."
Hearing Millan's voice, Dokai's body paused slightly, but the next moment, the faces all over him began to laugh, laughing madly.
Dokai extended the hand formed from countless laughing faces toward Millan.
Millan lifted her head and let out a long sigh, then closed her eyes as if awaiting the final ending meant for her.
