778 Resurrection!
“I want to activate the resurrection bonus,” I said, “I want an extra life!”
This was my last resort, hopefully I’d not have to use it. But if things went against my expectations, then I wasn’t going to get doomed.
[One hundred million souls are needed to grant you a resurrection ticket]
[Do you want to pay?]
“Pay!”
[One hundred million souls are deducted]
Just as the voice ended, I felt like my soul and body was scorched with lava!
Immense pain came, and even when I was prepared for it, I ended up screaming, twitching over the ground for hours!
Unlike other effects that lasted for one hour, this one was domineering! It lasted for ten straight hours! During which I counted each passing second like it was an entire lifetime.
“Damn you bastard, I’ll make you torture in hell for that!” Once it ended, I couldn’t get on my feet for one more hour or so.
I kept breathing irregularly while my body kept twitching from time to time. The exhaustion I felt was intense! And even the healing bubble surrounding me didn’t help at all.
It only relieved pain for the first hour only before it expired and I got to face the full throttle of this fierce sacrifice.
If not for my sheer will, strong ironclad will, I would have lost consciousness a long time ago.
I didn’t want to risk anything with that technique. After all, failing would place me at such a dead end of losing the one hundred million souls, and losing the chance to use this resurrection again for the time being.
“So you are a pure white jade…” I opened my profile page and found a sparkling pure white jade rotating constantly and at such a slow pace next to my name.
Sigh! All this was for this little white jade! I could only shake my head before closing the interface.
Then I started to attend to the loose ends I had here.
First I sent a message for Silverlining. He didn’t answer me directly and took almost four hours to respond.
[I got what you want] I knew this dude was capable! [I had to speak to lots of sovereigns supporting your crazy idea and convinced them to help. But most asked for five times the price you normally pay, so…]
Damn those chance hunters! They knew I was in such a dire situation and decided to extort me for the best profit they could get.
[Alright] but what choice did I have here? I had to pay. Even if they asked for ten folds, I’d pay!
[But… They brought millions of warriors! The price… It will be really huge! Don’t forget, you need to pay with silver bones]
[I had to pay silver bones to the three sovereigns] Well, they were trying to steal from me, but who said I’d have to follow their plans? [I’ll pay with my silver and blue bones, with each silver bone equal to fifty blue ones]
[This… Isn’t it a bit higher than usual?]
I was pressured here, so I had no such room for negotiations. I’d use the blue bones, but to make them agree I had to increase such exchange rate to make their greedy selves agree.
[Just tell them that, and whoever agrees I’ll instantly exchange the warriors with bones right away] I paused, [I got only two hours left. So this deal only stands for such time only]
[Ok]
He went to tell the news, and as I thought, they took the bait. It wasn’t only that, but their greedy nature even jumped to another height and thought about getting much more bones.
[What about the exchange rate between your green grade bones and other two higher grade ones?] Silverlining sent this message after only ten minutes, [Many are wondering about this]
[One hundred green bones for each blue bone] pal, I had nothing much as my green bones right now! They were like dirt in my eyes.
,ᴄ-ᴏ-m So giving them such a tempting offer would make them ask for the expected move I planned out for them. [Cool! They all want to do the exchange, and they are asking about using green bones only in such deal]
[Done!] I didn’t budge. Asking for my lowest grade bones for such a huge deal of warriors? That was hilarious!
I was sure if the three sovereigns heard about this, they’d fall off their seats from laughing.
Choosing the low grade green bones over the much higher grade blue and silver bones? That was crazy!
[Send over the list of exchange and the total number I have to pay] I sent over while he instantly complied.
“Thirty-five million warriors?! Not bad!” I looked at the total number they were going to send, and I could only grin in satisfaction.
Like this, I’d add forty million elite warriors to the battlefield back on Earth. Of course I had plans for their deployment, and hopefully my generals would help me out in this.
[They are asking if you are interested in any weapons or gears as well] just before I’d open a portal and go back with my armies here, I received such a message from Silverlining.
[Mass destruction weapons only] I sent this specific requirement before adding, [And weapon, gear, or item that can help against aerial armies are also ok]
[I’ll see what they have then] He sent while I took the remaining hour to wait for his answer.
My forces here already got the order five hours ago. I used my horn for that. And now they were lining up and waiting on the shore to go to Earth.
They lacked generals to lead and guide them in their training. But using Angelica’s men, I made them fight monsters and kill them in groups of hundreds.
This was the standard way of training Lily and many other Hector generals followed. As such, and for twelve hours, they kept training and fighting.
Then they started to come here and arrange themselves. The size of this force was close to fifty million.
