Chapter 120 - Recovery

[You have gained the Title - Soul Gatherer]

[Soul Gatherer

This Title can only be obtained by someone who has more than a thousand souls at a time. In this way, a man proves his addiction to collecting souls and curiosity about these mysterious things.

From now on, your chances of getting Damage Soul are increased by 3%, and your chances of getting Whole Soul are increased by 1%. This only affects Common Rating Soul]

Wain smiled quite a bit. In his opinion, this was a beneficial Title. Even though the increase was quite small, only 3% and 1%, it was a good bonus anyway.

What's more, the more Wain got souls, the stronger the effect would be. Over time it could get him a really colossal power.

'Hmm, I wonder if it's possible to enhance the Title? What happens if I gather ten thousand, a hundred thousand, or even a million souls? Will I get a new Title with stronger effects, or will this Title change?' Wain pondered.

"Wain!" Suddenly Gisle's voice rang out in the distance.

As Wain used his skill and the shockwave died down, Gisle decided to go to Wain. He reckoned that perhaps Wain knew the situation they were in.

"Gisle... Luck is not on your side today. It's hard to think of a more horrible day to take over the north part of Overion."

"That's not entirely true. There are no casualties among the members of Last Light, at least in my group. People from various organizations on the north side of the town must have suffered a lot."

"Yeah, you're probably right. By the way, aren't there a lot of bases left on the eastern side, pretty much undefended? Given the strength and numbers of these monsters, all but the main base could be destroyed." Said Wain.

Gisle nodded, "That's probably true, but as long as the main base is intact, Last Light is alive and well. Everything else isn't that important. Elsa is strong enough, and she can definitely protect the fire goblins. With them, with Lea and Clovis, we can recover quickly. It's not a problem."

Wain wanted to say something, but, suddenly, a massive monster over four meters tall landed next to them. It looked something like a minotaur, only with four horns and purple skin. This monster had a massive axe in its hands.

Bam. Bam. Bam.

Several similar monsters appeared behind him. Each second there were more and more of them until twenty of them.

Together they were a formidable force, capable of easily destroying an entire city. An eerie and ancient aura emanated from these creatures. 

They were the last to break into this world before the spatial rift was restored. 

At that moment, however, they were facing the wrong foes. Gisle wasn't alone, there were the strongest members of Last Light with him, and they all attacked the purple minotaurs simultaneously.

Teresa and Agnes could easily fight the minotaurs one-on-one. To them, these monsters were not dangerous opponents.

Bam.

One of the minotaurs brought his axe down on Agnes, but he could not hit the girl. Agnes easily dodged and broke the monster's weapon with one powerful blow from the hilt. 

Then white energy appeared around her fist, and she landed more than five blows to one point in a second.

The monster's flesh could not withstand such pressure and was torn into many pieces.

Teresa fought, as usual, using the rapier. Recently she had a new skill that, when used correctly, could do a lot of damage to a single target. However, this skill was quite difficult to use.

Whooosh.

Teresa somersaulted to dodge a minotaur attack, and then her rapier glowed yellow. The next moment Teresa's silhouette turned into a blur, and she was in front of the monster.

The minotaur hadn't expected this, it tried to move aside or block Teresa's attack, but the monster was too slow for that.

As Teresa approached the minotaur, she swung her arm lightning fast several times and inflicted five wounds on the monster. These wounds were not deep and could not cause serious damage to the monster. 

Given the minotaur's regeneration, these wounds would heal in ten minutes. However, they were just preparation for the skill.

Then Teresa's rapier flashed brightly, and lines appeared between the wounds on the monster's body. Gradually a star formed, which glowed goldenly. It was a sign that Teresa had made no mistakes and everything was ready for the final move.

Teresa thrust her rapier into the center of the star, and then dozens of light blades, which were copies of her rapier, were plunged into the monster.

This attack contained speed and power, but a person using this skill had to make precise attacks in specific places.

The monster could not survive such a crushing attack and died in terrible agony.

"Gisle, before this mess started, I had time to deal with the head of Black Pearl." Said Wain.

"Amazing, I didn't think you'd act so quickly. Did you kill this person?" Asked Gisle.

Wain shook his head, "No, I mean, yes... It was a pretty complicated situation there, but now Luar is not the head of Black Pearl's. He really had no reason to hold that position. He has other goals."

"I see, it's really an unusual situation. It's a good thing for us, though. This world needs strong people. If they aren't our allies, at least they shouldn't be our enemies." Said Gisle.

Even though a fierce battle was going on behind them, Wain and Gisle didn't seem to be paying any attention. 

They were discussing something and sharing ideas about the current situation. There were enough strong men in Last Light to deal with a few minotaurs.

Whoooosh.

Suddenly one of the monsters appeared behind Wain. It swung its axe high above his head, about to bring it down on Wain. However, Wain swiftly turned around and slashed the monster with several deep cuts and lightning speed.

Then Wain punched the monster in the stomach and the minotaur shattered into many icy shards.
