Angle's Arrogance? My Pact with the Succubus Queen!-Chapter 77: Breakthrough to the Master tier, Transformation!
So Logan and Kerparos took control of the purple-gold spirit ore vein together. ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ๐ฃ๐ธ๐ซ๐ฎ๐.๐๐๐ถ
Kerparos swung its sharp claws and dug a hole just big enough for its body.
Seeing it lying inside, Logan joked, "A doghouse," then pulled out three treasuresโHundred-Year Ice Marrow, Abyss Grass Fruit, and Lightning-Struck Peachwoodโand tossed them in.
Outside the mine, the black ant army kept carrying monster corpses nonstop.
Per Loganโs orders, all monster juveniles were kept alive and placed separately.
Soon, the black ants had sorted all the monsters in the Blood Cultivation Realm and piled them up before Logan.
He gave the monster corpses to the Black Ant Queen to breed new Black Ant Kings, keeping a small portion as future food for the kings.
As for the monster young, Logan set them into the holes in the purple-gold ore and began the ritual.
Unlike before, when he had to sneak around and avoid the exploration teamโs familiar tamers to keep his secrets, this time Logan had the entire Blood Cultivation Realm to himself. He had no worries, and the resources he gathered exploded.
Now, with just a glance at the pit, there were so many monster young he couldnโt even count themโprobably tens of thousands.
"Heh, truly extravagant!" Logan sighed, stepped into the center of the formation, and activated the ritual.
After many such rituals, Logan realized it wasnโt just about boosting his familiarโs stats.
Its bigger purpose was to restore and complete his own life essence.
Because he had transmigrated, Logan was very aware of his Soul Sea.
Inside it lay two souls: Loganโs, and the soul of the bodyโs original Master.
But since he had taken over this body, the original Masterโs soul had already died.
Only the purest soul energy was left, and Logan inherited that.
But in the end, besides the original Masterโs memories of this body, Logan didnโt inherit any other part of the original Masterโs soul.
The soulโs origin, nature, energy, and so onโnone of that passed to Logan, which is why the original Masterโs soul remains were still there.
After repeated rituals, Logan felt himself becoming more and more in tune with this body. The original Masterโs soul remnants slowly melted away, turning into the purest water in the Soul Sea, strengthening Loganโs soul.
Finally, after finishing this ritual, the original Masterโs soul was nowhere to be found in Loganโs Soul Sea.
Loganโs soul had fully merged with this world, and now had twice the soul power of a normal human.
So he pushed through in one go, leaving the elite stage and stepping into the Master tier, 1-star.
When Logan slowly opened his eyes, it felt like his mind could sense everything around him.
Even with his eyes closed, he could still see a corpse on the ground not far behind him.
He even knew, without trying, that Nabo had just let out a fart in the seawater inside the familiar space and killed a few fish.
This sharp, clear sensing made Logan start paying attention to how Rune Arrays are built.
Before, he had relied on Kerparosโs knowledge and experience to set up his arrays.
Now, he could feel the slow-flowing energy circuits beneath the runes.
With just a thought, one circuit started to bend, throwing the whole Rune Array into chaos.
Panicking, Logan quickly set the circuit back, avoiding an accident.
"What on earth is this power?" He felt curious but also strange about this new ability.
As he snapped back to reality and was about to ask Kerparos, he saw Kerparos had already crawled out of the "doghouse" and was staring at him in shock.
"Master, when did your soul become this strong?" Kerparos blurted out, making Logan frown slightly.
Logan told Kerparos about his new ability. The old houndโs six eyes lit up, looking very excited: "Master, the power youโve gained is called [Warp Reality]. Itโs an ability a familiar tamer only gets when their soul evolves to the Saint stage!"
Learning he had a Saint-level power while still at the Master tier, Logan felt a clear insight.
It seems the Saint stage for familiar tamers is closely tied to soul strength and soul completeness.
"Kerparos, what can this power do?" Logan went straight to the practical.
"Master, the simplest uses are in runes and alchemy. Among humans, alchemists, rune masters, and potion makers all have strong soul talent," Kerparos explained patiently. "But they can only do what you can do at mostโsee how the micro energy world runs. They canโt touch it directly. They have to rely on knowledge and skills to achieve what you can do right now."
Hearing this, Logan started to understand the value of his ability.
It means he can quickly make any rune, potion, gear, or alchemy item and skip all the middle steps.
Brewing a potion normally needs heating, cooling, extraction, and purification? Logan can skip thatโhe just synthesizes it.
Drawing runes usually needs different reagents and ores to lay out energy circuits? Logan can skip thatโhe opens the circuit directly.
In short, as long as he has the raw materials, no refining, no mixing, no stepsโLogan can jump straight to the result.
Of course, the only limit is how far Logan can push [Warp Reality].
Right now he can only affect things on a microscopic level, so he still canโt fully ignore traditional knowledge and experience.
Seeing Loganโs slight disappointment, Kerparos grinned. "Master, this is already a crazy strong talent. You could even be a rune masterโset up arrays, enchant gear, and draw talismans."
Logan rolled his eyes at him. But soon, he noticed something different about Kerparos.
[Name: Kerparos]
[Race: Three-Headed Hell Wolf]
[stat: Darkness, Storm, Ice, Lightning]
[Ranking: A-level 3 stars โ A-level 5 stars]
[Stage: Elite 5 stars โ Master 3 stars]
[Talents: Iron Hide, Super Hearing, Super Smell]
[Skills: Blizzard, Fire Tornado, Chain Lightning, Howl of Terror, Soul-Hooking Chains, Soul Tracking, Fission Clone]
[Stats: Power 378, Stamina 366, Mind 345, Agility 463]
...
Seeing Kerparosโs crazy stats, Logan was surprised. "You improved this much? Master, 3 stars?"
Kerparos caught Loganโs smug look and grinned. "Just a bit stronger than your little sweetheart."
When Kerparos mentioned Lilith, Logan turned to look behind him.
The monster corpses that had been piled up, along with the young ones, had all disappeared.
Logan stared at the empty cave. The three Black Ant Kings looked wronged. He frowned. "Where are the monster remains? Why are they all gone?"
The Black Ant Kings glanced toward a huge crystal nearby.
In the center of the crystal, Lilithโs graceful body was still absorbing energy.
Seeing this, Logan looked back at Kerparos. "You did this?"
"Of course! Lilith already has a skill to absorb life energy. I used the purple-gold spirit ore to set up a purification array to boost her conversion rate," Kerparos said proudly. "Over 35% of the Demon Lord blood in her has awakened. Right now is the perfect time to absorb familiar energy and speed up her evolution."
After hearing him, Logan looked at Lilith:
[Familiar: Lilith (Demon Lord Descent form, unsealed 35% โ 45%)]
[Race: Succubus (Infernal Lord Hybrid)]
[Stat: Darkness]
[Rank: A-level 5 stars]
[Stage: Elite 5 stars โ Master 2 stars]
[Talents: Natural Charisma, Expert in Passion, Demon Eye, Spiritlight Mark]
[Skills: Weaken Will, Life Drain, Enslave Mind, Mind Lash, Dreamspace, Demon Lord Descends, Moon-Cleaving Magic Blade]
[Stats: Power 238 โ 319, Stamina 257 โ 343, Mind 374 โ 498, Agility 271 โ 342]
...
Looking at the numbers, Logan felt a bit proud.
He had seen many Master-tier monsters, and none of them could match Kerparos or Lilith in stats. Even the Black Ant Kings under him had higher stats than those Master-tier monsters.
This was thanks to the sacrificial ritual Ron taught him, which gave his familiars hundreds of extra stat points on average.
Thinking of this, Logan quietly clenched his fist. "Ron, Iโll fulfill your wish soon."
Then Logan walked alone to the core of the Blood Cultivation Realm and opened his familiar space. A terrifying suction began tearing everything apartโthe ores, plants, and air were all turned into pure spatial power and poured into his familiar space.
The spatial power that couldnโt be absorbed quickly turned into floating spatial fragments around him.
When Lilith stepped out of the energy crystal, the whole Blood Cultivation Realm started collapsing from the outside in.
Kerparos hurriedly took Lilith and the black ant army into the familiar space.
When Realm No. 10010 had shrunk to just over a hundred square meters, the energy fragments around Logan merged into a crystal that shone like a diamond.
Logan slowly opened his eyes, took the space crystals in front of him, and stored them in his familiar space. "Kerparos, the space crystals are yours. Start setting up the [War Domain]."
