Chapter 355 - Rich Quest Rewards!
And his system kept sending him messages one after another.
"Ding! Your power has increased by one level. You can now breath fire that erodes everything away or fire to heal others. Your number of dragons transformed daily by your dragomancer ability is increased to reach thirty dragon."
"Ding! Your number of clearing up any curses increased to cover two hundred thousand people at the same time. The ability turned to be permanent, and through using it the ability level can be elevated and the total number can be increased."
"Ding! You have the ability now to create shadows of you. The maximum number of shadows called in the same time can't exceed three. The shadows will have half of your power, and they can stay alive until you cancel them or be killed. You can control them mentally or leave them to me. You can communicate with them anytime you want, no matter where they are."
"Ding! You gained the ability to scout your surroundings. The scout scope can't exceed one hundred miles, and everything inside will be analyzed by me and I will give you the report. The ability is permanent and the more you use it the higher it will rise."
"Ding! You gained the gate to other worlds controlled and visited by the Trokas empire. The gate is now merging up with your star map and can be used in a week from now."
"Ding! You gained the recognition of the Trokas empire's ancient world's will. She is gladly offering up her services to be the soul controlling the star map for you. Integration with your star map will take six months; after which she can help you discover more worlds and link them to the star map."
"Ding! The Trokas empire world's will offer up her help to link the star map to this world. You need to select a building to initiate a portal and the link will be completed by her."
"Ding! You gained a soul blessing from the Trokas empire world's will. Your soul has become more resistant to soul attacks. Any illusions won't work easily on you. Your soul gained a stabilizing bonus. Your will won't be bent by others at any situation. Your soul gained a charming bonus. Your sexuality effect on girls is increased by folds."
"Ding! You gained a path to cleanse up your soul and start retrieving your past self. Your soul is tarnished by Willy's soul, yet dead and still annoying. When you reach a certain point in this path, you will be able to start cultivating again. Your path is divided into dual cultivation soul cleaning, bloodlust soul cleansing, belief soul cleansing, world acquisition path, and imperial soul cleansing. The paths are selected based on your past experiences in the world after coming in Willy's body. The path you select can't be changed, yet in the future you can add more paths and cleanse your soul faster. You have one day to consider."
The messages were many, yet everyone of them was a priceless gain. He now had more power, stronger abilities, and unlocked more. He also had a path to cleanse his soul and retrieve his old self; a path to return to his old cultivation world.
For him, the last message was the most important of all!
"These choices…" he shook his head, as his heart leaned towards one already; yet his mind leaned towards another.
"Dual cultivation is much easier to me and far more interesting, yet the bloodlust path is a more practical road. I have many wars to fight, a lot of blood to spill, and it's very convenient for me to choose this path. Yet…" he hesitated, as his mind wanted one thing and his heart yearned for another.
As for the other three paths, he didn't consider them.
"The belief path is hard to venture. As for that world acquisition, I will need to wait for months until the Trokas world's will fully integrate to my star map before being able to use that.
As for Imperial path, tsk. I suck at this and know nothing at all regarding this path."
He had already narrowed down his selection; yet he couldn't reach a conclusion.
"Ding! You don't need to stress over yourself. I'm pretty sure other opportunities will rise in the future and you will be able to have all of these paths."
He understood the point his system was trying to convey. "Yet, wasting time on a hard path will give me a loss."
"Ding! At least you have two easy to fulfill paths. The quests in each one is easy for you to accomplish."
"Quests? I will have quests?" he wondered, as he never thought he would have quests. He thought he would have to do things according to the philosophy of the path, not quests issued by his system.
"Ding! Sure, each path is considered a long road of quests. Fulfilling the quests will make you reach your goal easier."
"Hmm… let me think about it then," he couldn't reach a decision yet.
"Ding! You have a day, don't take much time to decide."
"…"
"Ding! Do you agree on what the Trokas empire world's will offer?"
"Sure," he simply replied.
"Thanks," the voices came again, and this time he felt some sincerity in her tone.
"It's me who should thank you," he giggled before adding, "let's work together to amass endless worlds."
"Hehehe, I like your spirit."
Then the entire world started to stir up, while a pushing force sent the couple back to the river side.
"Sigh, it seems I took much longer than I expected," he muttered and Nara turned to glance at the huge ruckus occurring in the distance.
"You sure are popular."
"Indeed," he said with a smile on his face. "System, use the scout ability and tell me what is going on over there," he added.
He thought he would take a couple of days inside his upgrading trial, yet from the shape of things and the roars of Sara, he realized he took more than that!
"Ding! A huge army is assaulting the cluster of villages and towns up ahead. There are at least one hundred thousand warriors fighting the warriors of the villages and towns. The war is currently in stalemate."
Arthur nodded before saying, "What about the villagers?"
"Ding! Their number increased by folds since last time you were here. There are at least five million villagers scattered all over the region. The warrior army of yours reached five hundred thousand warriors at least."
"If I have this number, then why is the war still in a stalemate?"
This puzzled him, as according to his system description; his army should reign supreme over his enemies, claiming victory long time ago.
