Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Chapter 199: Chapter 155: Palpitation, Mad Medley and Soul Shattering Mirror_1

”So, what now? Should I kill him?”

After listening to the Dominator, Wen Yu remained silent for a moment before finally asking.

The Dominator spread his hands at Wen Yu.

”Why? Aren’t you still missing a soul pet?”

Just as Wen Yu was about to speak, he swallowed his words.

To the Dominator, the contract’s cooldown time is really not a problem!

”The rules of this battlefield allow only one creature to survive, right?”

Hearing Wen Yu’s question, the Dominator nodded.

”Once you contract him, he naturally becomes a part of you! You should know I am very generous and accommodating to victors.”

”Go ahead. Wake him and communicate with him. I will help you clear the contract’s cooldown time!”

”I’d also like to know what kind of changes could occur when the representative of Earth’s will teams up with my Sequence Number 2.”

”Two iron rods, fused together, will become larger and longer.”

Wen Yu pondered for a moment and then slowly said, ”Then, please clean up the bodies around here first. I don’t want him to see this grisly scene. Oh, and leave that one untouched.”

Wen Yu pointed to Sun Ruixing’s corpse.

The Dominator nodded at Wen Yu.

”As you wish!”

With a wave of the Dominator’s hand, the barrier that originally covered the two-realm battlefield instantly vanished. Except for Sun Ruixing’s corpse and Little Dragon in front of Wen Yu, everything else had returned to its original state.

Then, a white light from the Dominator’s hand swept over Wen Yu.

”First, I will help you remove the Contract Fortune’s cooldown time. Then, I will give you your reward. The rest, you’ll have to rely on yourself.”

「...」

”The Soul Master is one of the professions I personally created. Naturally, I pay more attention to those.

”Although the Soul Master profession is not unique, its development potential is immense!

”What’s more interesting is that it involves the soul level, which is a forbidden area that even I have not fully explored.

”Do you think your Soul Strike skill is very weak compared to other S-class skills?”

Hearing the Dominator’s words, Wen Yu nodded directly.

Let alone the S-class skill Cyclops possessed, even the Soul Beast’s other skill—Dislimning—was a hundred times more effective than Soul Strike!

”There has never been a useless ability, only useless professionists. The reason you can’t effectively use Soul Strike is because you’re lacking something!”

”What am I lacking?” Wen Yu raised an eyebrow at the Dominator.

”These.”

With that, the Dominator placed three items in front of Wen Yu: two guns and a pendant.

Before Wen Yu could examine them, the Dominator continued speaking.

”Many years ago—tsk tsk, a very, very long time ago—during the first war I waged against the Demon Tribe, that planet’s Sequence Number 1 was a Soul Master!

”Although he ultimately failed, in his final moments, he infused everything he had into these three items before you. From then on, these three items became the exclusive equipment of Soul Masters.

”These three items have been sealed here for countless worlds. This is because previous Soul Masters always treated their profession as that of simple summoners, relying solely on their soul pets’ combat power.”

Saying this, the Dominator shook his head.

”They don’t understand that even soul pets are considered external forces. True strength always comes from within oneself!”

”Also, there is this.”

Saying this, the Dominator took out a black medicinal pill from the space before him.

”This item is made from the Blood and Flesh Essence of all the Demon Tribe bodies from this two-realm battlefield. It’s for your Soul Pet No. 2.”

”So, these are all the rewards. Do you have any questions?”

Wen Yu looked at the Dominator and, after a long pause, pushed the four items back toward him.

”I don’t want any of these. I want him resurrected.”

”Can I trade these rewards to bring him back?”

After listening to Wen Yu, the Dominator was silent for a moment, then laughed.

”Yes, you can!”

As his words fell, ten naked ’Sun Ruixings’ appeared before Wen Yu!

”These are physical bodies with physique points ranging from 10 to 100. Reviving him is simple.

”I’ll implant his memories into one of these bodies, and naturally, that will count as a resurrection!”

Hearing the Dominator’s words, Wen Yu clenched his fists tightly.

”This isn’t resurrection, it’s just cloning!”

”In my eyes, this is resurrection!”

The Dominator’s indifferent voice rang out, provoking Wen Yu to curse loudly.

”Damn you!”

”Suit yourself! In that case, you don’t need my resurrection service. Goodbye!”

After the Dominator finished speaking, his figure flickered and vanished.

Wen Yu gazed with a complicated expression at the spot where the Dominator had disappeared. He then looked at Sun Ruixing’s body nearby and, after a long moment, shook his head.

Examining the so-called rewards before him, Wen Yu first picked up the small medicinal pill.

”Blood and Flesh Essence (A-Class Item): Created by the Dominator using the essence of the Demon Fiend’s flesh and blood. However, its obviously careless craftsmanship has led to a significant loss of internal power. After a mutant beast consumes it, its physical abilities will surge, directly reaching the peak of its current level. Please note: This item will expire in three days, after which its attributes will no longer be effective!”

There was nothing more to be said. Wen Yu summoned Cyclops and directly fed the Blood and Flesh Essence to it. After Cyclops consumed the Blood and Flesh Essence and fell into a deep sleep, Wen Yu put it away. He then began to examine the three Soul Master-exclusive equipment items before him.

The first item he picked up was a small pistol.

The pistol was not large, its design similar to an old-style revolver. However, the intricate patterns carved into it made Wen Yu’s mind reel as he looked directly at it.

”Soul Tremor (Soul Master Exclusive Weapon):”

”Attribute One: Exclusive: Only Soul Masters can use this weapon.”

”Attribute Two: Growth: The weapon perfectly attunes to the host, its attack power increasing with the host’s level. Each attack’s power is equivalent to the host’s current physical condition.”

”Attribute Three: Soul-Armored: Regardless of the distance between the weapon and its master, Palpitation will appear before its master when needed!”

”Attribute Four: Infinite Firepower: Palpitation’s bullets are unlimited, consuming only a small amount of the host’s stamina!”

”Attribute Five: Attach: The attacks of Palpitation can be imbued with all the host’s abilities!”

”Attribute Six: Soul Tremor: The soul’s first cry is a palpitation; the soul’s stirring is a palpitation; the soul’s annihilation is also a palpitation! When using Palpitation to hit an enemy, the power of Soul Strike will be amplified to its maximum potential.”

”This weapon will eliminate enemies on a spiritual level!”

Holding the six-attribute firearm, a Soul Master Exclusive Weapon, tightly in his right hand, Wen Yu could clearly feel Palpitation’s cheers and elation.

This was a connection originating from the soul, a profound satisfaction and joy from the depths of his heart!

Meanwhile, the other gun before him, a short firearm nearly half a meter long, also began to hum.

Wen Yu picked up the short firearm with his left hand. Waves of Spiritual Fluctuation transmitted into his mind. Simultaneously, the short firearm in his left hand and Palpitation in his right seemed to connect through an unknown force. They emitted a faint glow, then slowly vanished from his hands!

With a thought from Wen Yu, the two firearms instantly reappeared before him.

Only then did Wen Yu examine the short firearm in his left hand!

Ancient, weathered, and adorned with patterns similar to those on Palpitation.

”Blood and Flesh Mad Medley (Soul Master Exclusive Weapon):”

”Attribute One: Exclusive: Only Soul Masters can use this weapon.”

”Attribute Two: Growth: The weapon perfectly attunes to the host, its attack power increasing with the host’s level. Each attack’s power is double the host’s current physical condition.”

”Attribute Three: Soul-Armored: Regardless of the distance between the weapon and its master, Mad Medley will appear before its master when needed!”

”Attribute Four: Infinite Firepower: Mad Medley’s bullets are unlimited, consuming only a small amount of the host’s stamina!”

”Attribute Five: Attach: The attacks of Mad Medley can be imbued with all the host’s abilities!”

”Attribute Six: Blood and Flesh Mad Medley: This weapon represents the deepest wildness and savagery hidden within a being’s heart. When Mad Medley hits an enemy, it will inflict three negative effects: Annihilation, Explosion, and Tearing!”

”Who dares say physical destruction isn’t terrifying?”

”When Palpitation and Mad Medley are combined, their ultimate ability can be activated.”

”Annihilation of All Beings (Combined Ability, No Level): The combined ability of Palpitation and Mad Medley. The most devastating Energy Wave is fired from the muzzles of both firearms, inflicting a dual strike of physical and soul damage on the enemy! If an enemy killed by this ability dies, they will release Soul Fragments that can be absorbed by the Soul Shattering Mirror. Each activation consumes all the host’s remaining stamina!”

Two powerful guns.

”So, the ’Soul Shattering Mirror’ it mentioned... that must be you!” Wen Yu picked up the only remaining reward—the seemingly ordinary pendant.

Simultaneously, a system prompt flashed through Wen Yu’s mind.

”Soul Shattering Mirror (Soul Master Exclusive Item): Absorbs Soul Fragments from beings destroyed by Annihilation of All Beings. The host can use Soul Strike to extract skills from these Soul Fragments. Extracted skills can only be learned by a Soul Beast. Each Soul Beast can learn up to three skills from the Soul Shattering Mirror. Remaining uses: (3/3).”

”Once the Soul Shattering Mirror’s uses are depleted, the absorbed Soul Fragments will condense into high-quality magic crystals. These high-quality magic crystals can be used to nourish the Soul Realm.”

Reading the description of the Soul Shattering Mirror, Wen Yu had a sudden realization.

Previously, Wen Yu had some misunderstandings regarding the description of the Soul Master profession. For instance, when a Soul Beast died in battle and the Soul Realm collapsed, it needed to be nourished with high-quality magic crystals. But what exactly were high-quality magic crystals?

Earlier, Wen Yu had thought the magic crystals of the Ancient Demon were high-quality. Now, it seemed the Ancient Demon’s magic crystals might or might not be; he couldn’t be certain. However, the appearance of the Soul Shattering Mirror gave Wen Yu a source of high-quality magic crystals!

That would happen, however, only after the Soul Shattering Mirror had extracted skills three times.

After organizing the treasures left by the Dominator, Wen Yu turned to look at the now empty Chaihe Town. He then glanced at Little Dragon, still sleeping a short distance away, before slowly walking over to Sun Ruixing’s corpse.

Looking at Sun Ruixing’s somewhat serene face, Wen Yu slowly exhaled.

”Let me build a tomb for you.”
