The Legacy System

Chapter 331 - 331: Level 100, Evolve!?



Before he could get down to serious business with Ren Jia, the notifications in his system interface though started raining down upon him non-stop.

! Warning! Puppet 47 has been destroyed. Using 0.077 Spirit Power to regenerate!

! Warning! Puppet 49 has been destroyed. Using 0.076 Spirit Power to regenerate!

! Warning! Puppet 48 has been destroyed. Using 0.078 Spirit Power to regenerate!

In less than 3 seconds he received about a dozen of these notifications, as he could feel that his spirit power was being depleted continuously.

Puppets from 35 to 49 had been completely destroyed in a short amount of time, while his heart was beating hard for the rest.

But that wasn't the biggest problem at the moment. the worst part was that if he didn't do something about those destroyed puppets of his then he would lose Spirit Power as they regenerated.

At the moment he had quite the capacity, but it wasn't infinite, and the rate of losing Spirit Power was just too strong.

There were two ways he could think about at that moment, one was cutting the costs, and the second increasing the profits.

Meaning that he would either have to forsake those Puppets, so he wouldn't spend his Spirit Power on their regeneration, or he would have to drink a few Spirit Strengthening Potions.

These potions were really good as they were able to almost instantly replenish his lost Spirit Power but they cost quite a bit of Spirit Power and honestly, he didn't feel like it was worth it.

With that thought in mind, he immediately brought in his mind the connections with those puppets, and immediately cut them down.

He didn't really know what was going on, as he wasn't even inside the tunnel at that moment, but he could feel that it was nothing simple.

Whatever it was this time, the enemy was too powerful for his Puppets to deal with, and it was taking down his puppets like it was fighting children.

There must be something wrong with it, his face immediately grew cold and solemn, as he stood up together with Ren Jia, and then releasing her he made his way towards the entrance.

The moment he stepped beyond that entrance door he felt all the air through his body started to stand, as his heart was beating harder and faster.

It was a feeling of danger, and trouble, mixed with excitement and emotion. He didn't know when, but his heart had started to beat faster whenever he was facing a dangerous situation.

Weirdly though, even though his heart was beating like some kind of swift bird's wings, his mind and soul were calm and focused.

After those dozen notifications of his puppets falling down, he didn't receive another, as he had already broken the link with them.

The other puppets were coming back to him, but the dangerous feeling wasn't going away. Neither was his excitement about this situation.

In a short time finally, his remaining puppets managed to return back from their mission lead by his Soul Clone, but there was nothing and no one behind them.

That made Eric quite a bit surprised, and worried about this situation, as he thought that his enemy might have stealth mode or something.

As soon as he thought about that, he quickly pulled back behind the entrance, as the puppets approached it without being able to get out.

That was something that he expected so he didn't say or do something special about it, in fact, he completely ignored the fact as the connected with his Soul Separation and read its memories.

In those memories, he saw his puppets form 4 different groups with a distance of more than 30 meters from each other as they proceeded forward.

The strongest puppet that also had his Soul Separation controlling it, wasn't in the lead but behind at the second team.

That was Eric's personal arrangement as he didn't want his Soul Separation to get destroyed quickly without him being able to fully control its creation and abilities.

For that reason, he had decided to keep that thing covered well in the second team, and in case something bad happened it was ordered to take his security as a priority.

There wasn't much visual in those memories as the tunnel was darker and darker inside, but he could hear the sounds of metal and stone clashing.

In fact, it would be more appropriate to say that the metal was hitting, while the stone was crashing, which meant that most probably the opponent this time was a metallic puppet.

He had no idea about its compositions, abilities, and stats, but he could tell that the strength of the puppet was pretty close to his.

And that was just one puppet, what if there were others. His stone puppets shouldn't be those metallics puppets opponents.

But at the same time, he found out something important, that metallic puppet had destroyed only the first team, in that short amount of time.

The remaining three teams that hadn't moved after encountering trouble weren't disturbed in the least.

This meant that either the distance had something to do with this, or the puppet didn't want to act.

No matter how intelligent a puppet is though they are unable to think emotionally like a human being, meaning that it must be the first conclusion.

So as long as he was able to keep a distance from those puppets, they would be unable to notice him, then what if he stood at a distance and took care of them.

But at the same time, he had to take care of the distance for his soul thread, which made the situation quite a bit complicated.

Still, this gave him quite a beautiful idea, he didn't need to use strength to fight a full fight with these puppets, he only had to pull them towards himself, and deal with them one by one.

Most probably if he hadn't followed his 5 first puppets when he went beyond the 100 meters mark, most probably these 50 puppets wouldn't have attacked in full strength.

He had an idea that these puppets were activated only depending on the needed strength to take on the intruder.

More than a trapping place, it seemed like it was a testing site, or something similar. 

He didn't know how that guy on his previous life had managed to pass through this test, but since he had done it, Eric could do it too.

Without losing much time, he quickly ordered his puppets to be ready for any unexpected development, as he himself prepared another Body Tempering Liquid bath for himself.

The stronger he was, the better would be his chances against the puppets ahead. Furthermore, he felt like this test was a great opportunity for him and he couldn't bear himself to let it go away.

As soon as everything was ready, he gave a few instructions to Ren Jia, and then entered the bathtub.

This time it took him around 1 hour in the medicinal bath for him to break through the next two limits and levels of his body, and finally reach level 100.

He didn't have to pass out this time, but the pain was still the same, he started worrying that someday he might start liking this pain and become a Masochist but that was something he couldn't allow to happen.

When the medicinal bath was over, and he felt strength, power, and energy rush through his body, he heard the generic voice of the system.

!!! Warning! The Legacy System has detected that the Host has met all the requirements for evolving to Realm 2!

In order for the Host to evolve to Realm 2, the Host needs to deepen the connection with the Legacy System!

Would the Host agree to the deeper merge and evolvement!? YES/NO

Diamond Package is offered if the Host accepts the merge and evolvement!

Eric felt that everyone in his stead would have immediately selected the evolving process and entered the second Realm, but he felt like this was just too good to be true.

Some bridges were meant to cross when he had to, but he felt that the bridge he was now, was extremely dangerous.

This whole thing was extremely mysterious and difficult to handle. He could still remember those crazy offers from the system about that Dragon Egg thing.

He didn't know why, but he felt like the system's intentions weren't as good as he previously thought they were.

There was nothing something like a free lunch in this world, and such a Divine Artifact, and such a system wouldn't gift him things just because he had the system.

After all, no matter what he knew that he wasn't the only one who had a piece of the Divine Artifact's storage, there were 8 others as well.

He didn't know the true purpose or intention of his system, but it was clear that the System's loyalty wasn't towards him, but most probably towards its creator.

This thing saw Eric as nothing more than some kind of helping tool to achieve his goals and would help him as long as he was relevant or helpful.

Otherwise, his system wouldn't have frozen all the other functions besides the Shop function where he could buy and sell to his wish.

SP points were extremely difficult to earn, but he felt that it was a way for the System to gain energy through him, even though he didn't understand how it happened.

Thinking like this it was impossible for him to accept this evolvement, as he quickly selected no…
