388 Artifact of Traction
Dilan didn’t hesitate to absorb the ginormous Essence from eight of the nine Tier-4 Essence crystals he had collected.
His body felt like bursting apart but that was not something Dilan minded right now. He focused on equally distributing the Essences that ravaged his body on all five pieces of the set.
The five pieces of equipment shone brightly and Dilan could clearly feel that they were being upgraded rapidly.
Their power increased, which Dilan immediately felt as his stats increased without a delay.
In the end, it didn’t take him more than 10 minutes to finish upgrading the Hyel Destructor armor set. Dilan was exhausted but he looked at the upgraded stats eagerly.

Soul bound by Dilan Cier]
“Upgrading them requires a lot more Essence than I expected…but it is definitely worth it !” Dilan nodded his head in satisfaction. He had still one Tier-4 Essence crystal left but he didn’t feel like using it for now.
His treasures were at a good ranking right now, and the only thing he could think of replacing was the [Necklace of Replication] and the [Ring of Ice].
He didn’t wear any earrings, or bracelets either. All of these missing items were things he could purchase in the Essence Shop.
After all, he was in possession of more than enough Essence Points to get his hand on everything he wished for.
“System, calculate how many Essence Points I would require to pay the transfer fee for all the monster’s body parts and the remaining Tier-4 Essence crystal!” Dilan ordered with great interest, however, his hopes came crashing down upon reading through the message that looked worse than he would have expected.
[865,400,000 Essence Points are required to transfer all the desired goods back to Milarn!]
The system notification was clear, and the figure was a bit bothersome, especially since Dilan didn’t want to pay that much in the beginning.
However, the body parts of the Tier-3 and Tier-4 monsters he had collected would be very valuable for the blacksmiths and his Ascenders.
“I will focus on myself first and if I have enough Essence points left afterward, I can reconsider this transfer…” Dilan ended up concluding but the frown on his face didn’t disappear.
Dilan continued to search through the Essence Shop in hopes of finding something good. He could purchase a slave for up to 800,000,000 Essence points and bring him or her back to Milarn with his remaining Essence points but that was not really worth it in his opinion.
Controlling a Tier-4 slave was quite dangerous while he was merely advancing to Tier-2 as well. The Slave seal put on the Tier-4 slave would also be engraved on him to mark him as his or her master.
However, being of a much lower Tier would only pose tricky problems for him to control the slave that should better be avoided.
That was also why Dilan decided to browse through the shop and look at more new weapons because he had gotten a nice feeling while wielding Xealtron.
Balzaki was much weaker in comparison, but that was only obvious.
In the end, Dilan didn’t purchase a new weapon but a few new accessories.
[[Blood Eclipse Necklace] <Platinum Tier-2>
[+80 Mana]
[Demon Summoning] The host can summon a Tier-3 Demon with the use of 50 to 200 Units of Mana. Controlling the Tier-3 Demon will use up three Mana Units every minute. Summoning Duration 60 Minutes.]
[[Divine Protection Bracelet] <Platinum Tier-2> treasure
[+80 Mana]
[Divine Protection] With the use of 50 to 200 Units of Mana, the host can create the Divine Protection, a huge shield that belongs to the unique powers of the Childs of Light.]
[Ring of Inferno] <Platinum Tier-2> treasure
[+80 Mana]
[Inferno of Disintegration] Creates a devastating inferno with the use of 50 to 200 Units of Mana. For a period of 60 seconds, the host will be resistant to the manifested Inferno.]
Dilan purchased these three treasures in exchange for 60,000,000 Essence Points. Adding the transfer fee on top of it, made his total payable sum reach 660,000,000 Essence Points.
Each of the treasures had cost double the price as the Hyel Destructo Armor Set, which was a hefty sum but Dilan was pretty certain that he would need all three accessories on Milarn sooner or later.
Furthermore, he didn’t have to level them up by using a humongous amount of Essences. Nonetheless, Dilan felt like he had made an extraordinarily advantageous deal buying the Hyel Destructo armor set for such a cheap price.
And even if he didn’t require the three accessories he had purchased just now, the lack of mana had always been the biggest problem in his fighting style. Now he could go all in without the need to worry about his low Mana reserve.
Right now, he couldn’t wear the three rings because he had yet to advance to Tier-2 and he didn’t meet any special requirements that would allow him to wear them right now.
However, that was of no concern for Dilan.
He rather focused on other things that attracted his interest much more than overthinking stuff he couldn’t change either way.
“Artifact of Traction, the most sought treasure of the fallen Empire of Beasts? What the hell…” Dilan mumbled in confusion, only for his heart to skip a few beats when he realized a few things.
First, he could clearly feel that the Artifact of Traction was something his Origin ability desired. Dilan had no idea why that was the case or how it was even possible for his Origin ability to be affected by something that was not even physically present around him, but it was obvious that he had to buy it.
And that was where the big problem came into the picture.
[[Artifact of Traction] -1,000,000,000 Essence Points + transfer fee -10,000,000,000-]
“Who the hell was the idiot, who said that he had more than enough Essence Points? It cannot be me…because I’m missing around 2.5 billion Essence points right here…” Dilan could only grumble quietly as he shook his head in disbelief.
‘Looks like I have to work a bit harder in the next few hours…’
