Chapter 1137: Chapter 515: Soul Reaper_2

And at 0 stars and above, each upgrade of a star exponentially increases the soul bar, making it naturally less easy to hack away.

Another difference is between the souls of magic system and warrior system: the souls of mages obviously exceed those of the warrior system!

A player who equally upgrades both mage and warrior will have a soul bar roughly equivalent to their real life, like those omnipotent classes of the Order system, which have as much soul as they do real life. The difficulty of hacking at the soul bar is the same as hacking at the life bar.

On the other hand, if leaning towards Divine Arts damage, like with Light or Water elements which involve faith, the number of souls will be significantly higher than real life.

Similarly, if leaning towards the warrior system, creatures that mainly use their strong bodies as an offensive tool, like the War God system, will have a soul bar significantly less than real life. The purer the lean, the greater the difference between the two health bars.

To give an example, two players both with 1000 real life from the Light and Earth systems, the Light system player might have a soul bar of 2000, while the Earth system player only 500. In battle against Grim Reapers, naturally, the Earth system player is at a disadvantage.

Therefore, Lin Xue’s Grim Reaper system is very suitable for dealing with those simple-minded titans and exotic beasts with well-developed limbs; these creatures often have especially scarce souls and are easy to kill with a burst of attacks.

However, when facing those magic system exotic beasts with super high souls, the Grim Reaper system is much less efficient, nowhere near as effective as other systems.

Of course, this isn’t to say that the Grim Reaper system has no way of dealing with creatures with high souls but low health. The Grim Reaper system also has an ultimate Divine Art named ’Flowers of the Underworld’, whose effect is to summon the Flowers of the Underworld. Within the range of the Flowers of the Underworld, all damage against souls will simultaneously take away an equal amount of real life.

Once this Divine Art is activated, those magic system creatures with low health may even die faster than the warrior system creatures with low souls!

Of course, this is an ultimate move that can only be unlocked by a Nine Stars devotion of the Grim Reaper system, and other than Lin Xue, the Proxy God Walker, no other Grim Reaper players will be able to enjoy it for a long time.

Another feature is the Grim Reaper system’s special attack on evil. All Divine Arts of the Grim Reaper have a power bonus against creatures with an evil value less than 0, and against extremely evil creatures, each strike’s power can be multiplied several or even dozens of times!

With this trait, coupled with the presence of the Evil-suppressing Funeral Bell, Lin Xue often exhibits a Warrior-like prowess in cutting down extremely evil creatures.

This makes sense, after all, the Grim Reaper’s divine duty is to chase and judge those creatures with heinous sins.

"Ding ding..."

While thinking, Lin Xue sent a private message.

"How is it?" Mu You asked in haste.

"I’ve checked it out. It’s definitely a malevolent creature, but its malice value isn’t too high, around -500. I can deal about 2.5 times damage," Lin Xue replied.

"That should be enough."

Mu You felt greatly reassured after reading the message.

Lin Xue, of course, was referring to the malice value of the Swamp Demoness. This man-eating plant was already a combat creature with not too many souls, and given that it was a type suppressed by Lin Xue, taking light of Lin Xue’s current Combat Power, it should be dealt with within half an hour.

Once this was confirmed, Mu You also controlled his character to go beside the Order God Statue and claimed the 50 points of divine duty rewards for today, then opened the ’Subsidiary Divine Arts’ to take a look.

After accumulating over the past few days, Mu You now had over 200,000 public Divinity in the Divinity Pool. After browsing through the list of Divine Arts, he finally unlocked a two-star Divine Art called ’Annihilation of Order’. Its effect is to instantaneously detonate all Order’s Locks in the vicinity. Each Order’s Lock on allies restores a certain amount of health and energy, and on enemies it deals high damage and greatly reduces their speed.

This is one of the rare direct damage Divine Arts of the Order system, with damage scaling with the stacked layers of Order’s Lock. If stacked up to 50 layers, a max-level Annihilation detonation could deal nearly ten thousand points of damage, which could instantly kill creatures of Six Stars or below.

Of course, reaching fifty layers is too difficult, and getting a dozen or so in actual combat is already quite good. The greatest significance of this Divine Art is its accompanying effects, providing a significant recovery to allies while greatly reducing the speed of enemies, making it a very practical effect in both pursuit and escape scenarios.

Upon unlocking the Divine Art, Mu You promptly leveled it up and promptly rushed to the Tower of the Brave.

[You’ve come under the Soul-inducing Lamp.]

[Your Resurrection Stone has been restored to its original state, ready for you to step into the Real World to explore...]

Mu You stepped through the entrance and expertly made his way to the cliff outside the cave, climbing down the rope ladder.

[...As soon as you land, you see a sea of people ahead, hordes of Fools gathered together, at least several thousand strong.]

[Thousands of Fools form a vast encirclement, surrounding the immense man-eating plant in the center.]

[Under the crowd’s blockade, the Swamp Demoness keeps opening its enormous maw, letting out angry roars, while thorny tendrils extend from the ground around, lashing towards any Fool who dares approach...]

"So it’s like this, huh..."

Mu You couldn’t help but smile wryly as he took in the situation at the scene.

He had guessed that there would likely be onlookers since such a commotion generally couldn’t be kept secret; in fact, live streaming posts had already appeared on the forums, broadcasting the process of tackling this creature in real-time.

[You arrive at the scene, and soon someone notices your presence.]
