Dig Up the Sun Emperor's Legacy: I Build an Invincible Undead Legion-Chapter 101: Split Decision
Chapter 101: Split Decision
The Black Poison Faction would often use certain aged dark mist monsters as samples, demonstrating the life extension effects they were researching.
Their most common dog and pony show:
First, they’d inject the potion, and the aged dark mist monster would return to youth.
Then they’d paint a rosy picture of applying this experiment to humans.
This performance greatly attracted investment from various organizations, including secret contact from human organizations.
In reality, the dark mist monster’s return to youth performance was a kind of mature flesh mimicry that the Black Poison Faction had developed, completely unrelated to life extension.
"Moreover, later generations discovered that the news of the Golden Sand Society conspiring with traitors was actually reported by the Black Poison Faction themselves."
It had to be said that this faction’s extremely brief period of prosperity before getting wiped out in later generations had its reasons.
"Child of Dark Mist refers to the Black Vortex Collector, right?"
Child of Dark Mist—the terrifying monster born after a creature is completely eaten away by dark mist aura.
Their soul essence is incredibly powerful, capable of wreaking havoc across several human territories.
Only by paying an absolutely brutal price could humans possibly succeed in taking them down.
For example, the Shadow Twins and Destruction Star currently stationed beside his sister Iris were also members of the Children of Dark Mist.
It’s just that they hadn’t been infected yet...
"There shouldn’t be any problems on sister’s side, right?"
Regarding his sister Iris, Carlos was pretty confident—surely no accidents would occur...
...
Ember City, within the Valois family estate.
"Achoo!"
Iris suddenly sneezed.
"Strange, this is the first time since advancing to Controller.
And it’s not even cold today?"
As Iris wondered why she, as a Controller, would sneeze,
a pair of cute twins ran in one after another:
"Sister Iris!
Look, I caught a variant butterfly—so beautiful!"
"Sister! Wait for me!"
With pupil colors of left black and right white, Iris identified this as Riley, the older of the twins.
She held a beautiful butterfly in her hands.
One wing was red, one wing was green, with scales on the wings that shimmered with colorful light in the sunlight, absolutely stunning.
"Very nice, absolutely beautiful."
Iris rubbed Riley’s head, and Riley closed her eyes comfortably.
Sister Anna stood beside them, looking pitiful:
"Sister Iris~~~~!!!"
Iris said with amusement:
"Alright, alright, Anna definitely helped too."
She used her other hand to rub Anna’s little head.
During this time together, Iris had grown quite fond of these twins who were so sweet with her.
Anna immediately showed the same enjoying expression as her sister Riley.
After rubbing for a while, Iris felt it was time to go out and said gently:
"You two, alright, sister has to head out now.
Play in the courtyard by yourselves."
"Okay!"
The twins nodded.
After speaking, as Iris got up,
they urgently reminded her in unison:
"Sister Iris, the variant butterfly!"
They wanted Iris to take their gift with her.
Iris patted both their little heads and said gently:
"Sister appreciates your thoughtfulness, but I’ll give this beautiful butterfly back to you two."
So she placed the variant butterfly on the table and hurriedly walked out...
In the courtyard, the air suddenly became dead quiet.
The twins’ gazes simultaneously locked onto the variant butterfly on the table.
"Sister, there seems to be only one."
"Little sister, there is indeed only one."
"..."
"What should we do?"
"..."
"Hmm... I’ve got it!"
Riley and Anna each extended one small hand, pressing down on the variant butterfly’s two wings.
Then they conjured small knives in their other hands.
"Slash!"
Acting simultaneously, the two small knives became one, cutting along the variant butterfly’s body centerline, instantly splitting it neatly in half.
Translucent butterfly blood gradually flowed, eerily spreading symmetrically on both sides along the wound line.
"Sister, your wing is red!"
"Little sister, your wing is green!"
"..."
"What should we do?"
"..."
The twins stared at the differently colored wings, falling into distress...
...
Desolate Desert, traitor camp.
Purple Vortex held a headless corpse, constantly taking it apart piece by piece. The brown robe on the corpse was stained with blood.
Not far from the headless corpse, a head with a delicate face showed an expression of disbelief from before death.
Carlos sat resting on a patch of sand while shield guards cleaned the camp, scavenging loot and constantly carrying it to him...
"Another bunch of broke losers!"
Carlos casually examined them—there really weren’t any items or spirit gear worth his attention.
Taking advantage of this time, Carlos began reviewing the Spiritual Essence gain notifications from earlier in his mind.
...
[Spiritual Essence +15]
[Spiritual Essence +12]
...
[Destroyed small human traitor camp, Spiritual Essence +5000!]
[Spiritual Essence accumulation 12000, Spirituality +1, current Spirituality 13]
[Gained Attribute Points +1, Skill Points +1]
"Wiping out several hundred traitors gained about 4000 Spiritual Essence, plus taking out the camp earned a faction reward of 5000 Spiritual Essence.
This trip netted 9000 Spiritual Essence total."
So rich! Even after reaching 13 Spirituality,
Carlos’s spirituality progress toward the next increase exceeded one-third: 4657/13000.
And not only did he learn about the conspiracy between the Golden Sand Society and Black Poison Faction, he also gained his first retainer...
"Add 1 point to Strength, and add 1 point to Skeleton Revival again."
[Name: Carlos Valois]
[Pathway: Death Herald Pathway]
[Spirituality: 13 (Spiritual Essence: 4657/13000)]
[Health: 930 (Constitution x50)]
[Psionic Energy: 185 (Spirituality x10 + Mental x10)]
[Attributes: Strength 18.5/Speed 5.5/Constitution 18.6/Mental 5.5]
[Skills: Child of Nature (Max Level), Skeleton Revival (12+14 Level), Sun Emperor’s Court Swordsmanship Level 5, Crimson-Gold Wing Bones (Max Level)]
[Remaining Skill Points: 0; Remaining Attribute Points: 0]
"Strength 18.5, Constitution 18.6—still over 1 point short of 20.
Probably after Spirituality increases by 1 more point, plus Sun Emperor’s Court Swordsmanship improving by 1 more level, it will just hit the attribute threshold for wielding the Sun Emperor’s Sword."
Carlos calculated internally.
Only with 20 points in Strength and Constitution could one normally wield the Sun Emperor’s Sword. Otherwise, with insufficient strength, one would be gasping for breath after just a few swings.
"Estimating that when Strength and Constitution reach the 20-point standard,
Sun Emperor’s Court Swordsmanship will only be at level 6 or 7, still far from the max level 10."
The incredibly powerful spirit gear Sun Emperor’s Sword had usage restrictions, one of which was max-level Sun Emperor’s Court Swordsmanship.
