The Soul System in the Apocalypse
Chapter 200: Silver Rank

Chapter 200: Silver Rank

’Master, I have been injured. I fought against a monster that was at the 7th level of the Bronze rank. It was so troublesome to be able to deal with it, but, due to the level up, I got the ability to deal with it.’ Diana’s voice reached Henry’s ears through the telepathic connection the they possessed.

Henry was not expecting that something like this was going to happen. After all, because the group had many people with low levels, he had decided that Diana and the group were not going to venture deeper into the dungeon.

That was just to ensure that there would be no casualties during this trip. But, he had not expected that although they were not going deeper into the dungeon, they were actually going to encounter a level 7 bronze rank apocalyptic creature.

Henry did not believe that Diana was going to go against what he had informed her to do. So, it might be actually one of those monsters that had decided to venture out of the deepest parts of the dungeon.

The dungeon itself was just like another world of its own. There were several forests, mountains, hills, rivers, lakes, caves and caverns and other features that could be found in the real world. So, currently, Henry himself was in a mountainous area.

But although the distribution of the features in the dungeon was not organized, still, while heading towards the North, that was actually the deeper end of the dungeon. As for what lay at the end of the dungeon, that was something that Henry was looking forward to exploring.

It was just that, that was an impossibility considering that, the deeper they entered into the dungeon, the stronger the monsters that they were going to encounter. So, Henry believed that the deeper they went, they would be able to start encountering the silver rank apocalyptic creatures.

But, that was not something that he could deal with currently. After all, even after he had merged together with Storm, he was not capable of dealing with a silver rank monster. In fact, he was killed with a single shot.

Although it was true that he had leveled up, but, he was not intending on trying to face a silver rank apocalyptic creature if there was no need for him to do so in the real world. He was only going to do that in the system space, and after he was sure about it, that was the time that he was going to venture deep into the dungeon.

Additionally, there was no way that he was going to use the fusion skill, considering that the cooldown was not low. Additionally, he could not guarantee that he was not going to encounter any danger soon that would require him to use that skill. So, it was better to save that skill for emergencies.

’How are you currently? Do you think that you should retreat?’ Henry asked back. He was worried about Diana. The two of them possessed a connection, considering that, Diana was linked to him. And other than that, she was also an important member of the Domination Star Territory.

So, Henry was not willing to lose Diana at this point. Additionally, if he lost her, he was definitely not going to get another chance of summoning another creature. After all, he only got a single chance with every rank up. Other than that, there was no replacement for the dead summoned creatures.

’I’m currently in the process of healing. It is just that, it will take some time, and I’m not sure about being capable of guaranteeing the safety of the people that I am protecting. Additionally, I’m not sure if the high-level monsters are going to attack us during the time that I will be healing.’ Diana responded.

’Just take care of yourself. In case you are sure that you are not capable of dealing with the monster, try to retreat. Additionally, if you feel like there is no chance of retreating with a large group of people, then, prioritize your safety.’ Henry instructed.

Although it might be a little cruel to abandon the people that they had brought over inside the territory dungeon, but, this was the apocalypse after all. There was no need for Diana to risk her life, ending up dead for a group of people that were not as important as she was.

Moreover, it was not as if they had forced the group of people to come over. Instead, it was their own decisions, or it was their relatives that convinced them. It was either they came into the dungeon, or they decided to leave the territory.

So, there was no way that Henry was going to sacrifice an important person like Diana, for a bunch of people that was now useless. It was true that this group of people were going to be important in the future, but still, that was the future, and not the present. Currently, the most important thing that could be observed would be the current power level of the people.

’Okay master.’ Diana responded. At the same time, she could not help but feel that her master really cared about her. After all, he was willing to be called many names, but, he had to ensure that she was safe.

But still, Diana had already decided in her heart that she was not going to retreat, unless there was no any other choice. And, if she was going to retreat, he was definitely going to make sure that she left with at least one or two people, that was more so for the two kids that had come over.

After the communication between the two of them ended, Henry continued resting. And after that, he continued moving deeper into the dungeon.

He was cautious along the way, making sure that in case there was any danger, he would retreat, or react accordingly. Although it might be a difficult problem for him to be able to get away from a silver rank apocalyptic creature, but still, he believed that it was not an impossibility.

As he continued moving, he continuously encountered several monsters. It was a good thing that it seemed that the distribution of the monsters within the dungeon was quite sparse. So, he had not gotten in a situation where he was attacked by two high level monsters at the same time.

The fights within the dungeon began getting intense as they moved on. Additionally, Storm was able to level up once again, reaching the seventh level of the summoner profession. As for the warlock profession, the level had not yet increased after 2 hours had gone by.

Finally, as the time for them to stay within the dungeon was almost coming to an end, Henry was involved in the final fight. It was against a level 9 bronze rank monster.

It was a gigantic python. But, it was not the only one that was present here. Instead, it was having subordinates at the 8th and 7th level of the Bronze rank.

Currently, Henry himself had already reached the 9th level of the Bronze rank in the warlock profession. The same applied with the summoner profession. But, for some reason, the summoner profession was not capable of reaching the silver rank, no matter how many monsters Storm killed.

He was not sure about what was holding the profession back. Unlike the warlock profession that was unique, although it might be true that the summoner profession was actually an SSS grade profession, however, it was not at the same level with the warlock profession.

So, Henry had been expecting that it would actually be able to level up, reaching the silver rank. At that time, he might actually be capable of entering into the domain of the silver rank monsters in the dungeon. But, he had to set the matter aside for now.

An entire day had already passed within the dungeon, but, Henry was not willing to get out of here. After all, if he got out of here, then, the only time that he would be able to come into the dungeon would be after the end of the week, and currently, it was a Wednesday.

So, when dealing with the giant python, he did not have much trouble considering that they were both at the same rank. So, dealing with the python, it only took him four strikes before he was able to kill it.

At the same time, Storm had also dealt with the subordinates of the giant python, considering that although there were three of them, one in the 8th level while the rest in the 7th level, they were still not capable of matching Storm.

The moment that Henry dealt with the python, he felt that the energy in his body was suddenly churning. And in the next moment, his body felt completely relaxed, and all the tiredness that he had experienced during the past few hours simply vanished.

Before Henry could understand what was going on, he suddenly felt that there was a lot of strength that was coursing through his body. The amount of energy that was within his body felt infinite. It was as if he was currently connected to an infinite source of energy.

Then, just a few seconds after all these happened, Henry felt that his body had suddenly exploded from the inside. It was actually the energy that had exploded, but his body was not affected in the least.

In the next moment, a prompt appeared in front of Henry’s vision.

[Congratulations on reaching the silver rank in the warlock profession.]
