Chapter 159: Wings of Conquest

.....

[Defeated Dark Mist Node Boss Black Sand King, Spirit Essence +8000, Fantasy Equipment +1]

[Spirit Essence accumulated 18000, Spirit +1, current Spirit 19]

[Gained Attribute Point +1, Skill Point +1]

The Black Sand King gave Carlos a full 8,000 spirit essence, pushing the buildup progress to max again in one shot.

He added 1 point to Strength and chose to save the skill point.

"Roar!"

Through soul link came Purple Vortex’s info—it had found "good stuff"!

Carlos’s first thought was that it had to be another Radiant Stone piece.

He spread his wings and came down.

Seeing master arrive, Purple Vortex completely ignored Red Spirit spitting fire nearby and came forward to greet him.

"Roar!"

A pair of beautifully designed black crystal battle boots appeared in front of Carlos’s eyes.

"Crystal shoes?"

Carlos didn’t take them, but had Purple Vortex keep holding them while he directly checked the info.

[Lightweight Obsidian Battle Boots]

[Quality: Purple (***)]

[Special Enhancement: Weight -1 (***)]

[When worn by Obsidian Clan, greatly improves quality and enhancement]

[Warning: This is one of the Obsidian Stone weapon components, with extremely high chance of attracting Obsidian Stone Clan attention.]

"Weight -1?"

This enhancement...

Another useless boost.

"Why are all the enhancements on the Obsidian City Lord’s Radiant Stone Equipment pieces things that have almost no effect for ordinary psionics?"

You could say they’re useful, but their impact on fighting power is tiny.

You could say they’re useless, but in certain situations, they can still provide special value.

Not thinking about this for now, Carlos stored the obsidian battle boots in his summoning space.

He floated up and patted Purple Vortex’s shoulder with an appreciative expression:

"Purple Vortex, good job!

This treasure’s great!"

The familiar praise, identical tone of approval—even the expression was perfectly recreated by Carlos.

Only this time the verbal praise shifted from Red Spirit to Purple Vortex.

"Roar!"

Master praised me!

Purple Vortex’s head swayed left and right happily. As it swayed, it "accidentally" forcibly squeezed the fuming Red Spirit away from master’s side.

"Wah!"

Purple guy, you’re going too far!

Red Spirit was so mad, but didn’t dare fight for the spot back.

Purple guy had just gotten master’s praise—it could only temporarily back down.

"Roar!"

Purple Vortex proudly swayed its head left and right, eyes rolling around.

This was the first time it had truly won a victory in its showdown with Red Spirit.

Suddenly it was pumped up and arrogant, feeling incredibly satisfied!

Without a doubt, this was Purple Vortex’s greatest victory since its birth!

...

"These two guys..."

Carlos understood in his heart that expecting them to get along peacefully seemed pretty impossible.

"Sigh... let them be."

From the results, this kind of competition wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

"Clean the battlefield.

Collect all the blue salt sand on the ground."

Carlos threw out tons of bags.

"Roar!"

"Wah!"

The two main retainers and Shield Guards all got moving, picking up bags and starting to collect the blue salt sand—the product of black sand and salt sand merging together.

"This blue salt sand—I’m sure the Byss Family (Black Flame City) would be really eager for it."

Carlos recalled what valuable things the Byss Family had that his sister Iris could help trade for.

...

After collecting all the blue salt sand, Carlos recalled the Shield Guards and Purple Vortex.

He activated his Crimson-Gold Feathered Serpent Wings, wind swirling around him.

Carlos shot into the sky with Red Spirit following close behind, disappearing into the horizon...

...

Behind a certain sand dune

"Skeleton Summoning!"

Carlos summoned the thirty-first skeleton soldier.

"You take it to farm monsters."

Two Shield Guards creaked as they carried the skeleton soldier toward the distance...

"Once I finish this skeleton soldier’s upgrade, I can leave the Desolate Desert."

This trip to the Desolate Desert was finally coming to an end.

Taking advantage of this time, he wanted to rest well and get ready for the return journey.

Carlos crawled into his tent, and before long, gentle breathing sounds could be heard...

Around the tent, Red Spirit and Purple Vortex stared at each other, competing over something again for who knows what reason.

However, they made no sound, not daring to disturb master’s rest.

In the outer circle, over twenty Shield Guards cleared occasional monsters that wandered in, ensuring a quiet environment...

...

Several Days Later

With the fading of gray-white flames, the seventh Tulip Shield Guard was born!

"Done! This trip ended perfectly!"

Having stayed in the Desolate Desert for three and a half months, Carlos’s gains were truly enormous.

He was in an excellent mood now, checking out his personal info.

[Name: Carlos Valois]

[Pathway: Death Herald Pathway]

[Spirit: 19 (Spirit Essence: 1905/19000)]

[Health: 1230 (Constitution×50)]

[Psionic Energy: 255 (Spirit×10+Mental×10)]

[Attributes: Strength 24.5/Speed 6.5/Constitution 24.6/Mental 6.5]

[Skills: Child of Nature (Max Level), Skeleton Revival (15+16 Level), Sun Emperor’s Court Swordsmanship Level 5, Crimson-Gold Feathered Serpent Wings (Max Level), Dawn Flame (Max Level)]

[Remaining Skill Points: 2; Remaining Attribute Points: 0]

In just three and a half months, his Spirit had improved to 19.

It was even shorter than the time it took for Spirit to improve from 1 to 9 in the previous stage.

If outsiders knew this, they would definitely cry out in amazement!

As everyone knows, in the stage from Spirit 9 to 19, ordinary psionics take years to improve 1 Spirit point, while Carlos improved by days.

What was even more shocking to the point of being numb was that Spirit became harder to improve the higher it went, but with doubled Shield Guards helping, Carlos’s Spirit improvement speed didn’t decrease but increased.

His Strength and Constitution stats had improved to the terrifying levels of 24.5 and 24.6.

These were stats that at least mid-tier psionics could possibly achieve, and even then usually only one of them.

Beyond Spirit, gaining Dawn Flame not only gave Carlos terrible flame attack methods and more crazy recovery abilities, but it could also combine with Crimson-Gold Feathered Serpent Wings to unleash the even more terrifying "Flame Wings."

"Mid-tier psionics...

No, only high-tier psionics can fight me."

Right now, Carlos was full of confidence in his personal strength.

More importantly, he had finally gotten the Sun Emperor’s Sword he’d dreamed of.

Although many enhancements were in locked states, just the initial sharpness of 59 points was enough to cut through almost everything in the mortal world, greatly boosting personal combat power!

Thinking of this, Carlos couldn’t help but take out the Sun Emperor’s Sword.

Its crimson-gold blade with noble, scorching patterns flickered with the radiance of the sun, naturally giving off incredibly terrible sharpness, dazzling like a blazing sun!

Holding such a powerful Sun Emperor’s Sword, Carlos felt that high-tier opponents were no longer worthy of being his enemies.

Only Controllers could trade a few blows with him.

"Before me, there are no more enemies (below Controller level)!"
