Chapter 135 After defeating the evil spirit

[All attributes significantly increased]

Kroya had only seen this line of small text before when he killed the Steel Swamp Dragon, which caused every attribute of his body to increase by one level.

Even now, Kroya's attributes are much stronger than before, and the resulting increase is still extremely obvious. Kroya can easily feel the changes in his body.

His current agility attribute is perhaps comparable to, or even slightly superior to, the special state he was amplified by various magical items earlier.

Other attributes are difficult to determine at the moment, and Kroya plans to check them after returning to the camp. He brought the magical item that can detect his own attributes with him.

Kroya headed in the direction where Tiki and his group had broken out. Now, because the power of the evil spirits had been purified, the unusual blizzard was gradually weakening. Dawn had arrived, and the sunlight pierced through the peaks, tearing through the snow and causing a thick red glow to emerge from the horizon.

He saw several figures, now shrunken into black dots, approaching him; it seemed that Tiki and the others had turned around to rendezvous with Kroya.

During the time before he reunited with his companions, Kroya pondered and began to try out the skills he had just acquired.

He first tried using [Spirit Summoning], following the guidance of the unseen, and Chroya gathered his magic power into himself.

His eyes, at this moment, began to gleam with a strange and mysterious light.

The world had become very different in Kroya's eyes. He saw many chaotic, complex, and strangely colorful things, things that human eyes could not capture but which truly filled the world, like the oxygen that everyone needs.

"Those are different types of magic..."

Then Croa raised his head again, and countless ethereal, non-human-shaped ghosts, their forms almost covering the sky, moved northward in a vast, dense school of sardines.

These are the souls of the dead, who are being guided by the goddess of death to the northern land of the dead.

"May your journey be smooth, and may you receive a just judgment in the land of the dead—"

Croa bowed his head and prayed for them.

Your respect for the deceased is a commendable quality.

[Magic power slightly increased]

Afterwards, Kroya decided to try out [Speed].

This time, he focused his magic on his legs, and with a thought, his body began to rush straight forward, leaving a trail of afterimages in his wake.

"You can only go in a straight line; you can't turn around along the way."

"But it only consumed four units of magic power, yet it increased my sprint speed by 50%."

If Kroya were willing to input more magic power, the amplification effect would certainly be even more considerable.

Like the surprise attack tactic used by the previous elven hero, Kroya can also try it now. In fact, because of his charged attack, Kroya's surprise attack might be even more threatening.

A dash followed by the unleashing of the Dragon Heart Sword, brimming with magical power, is enough to severely injure a significant number of hero-level adventurers with substandard armor on the spot—a devastating first-encounter kill.

"Wow, you're so fast! How can you run that fast?"

After testing the effects of [Speed], Kroya had already reached Tiki and his group, who were astonished by the speed he had just displayed.

However, considering the commotion when the other party just fought the evil spirit, this seems somewhat insignificant.

After exchanging words of celebration for their narrow escape and victory over a powerful enemy, Kroya and his companions began to consider how to clean up the mess.

"Shall we take some dire wolf carcasses back with us?"

"Kroya suggested."

Because the evil spirit's power was completely purified, the warg corpses that had been manipulated by the other party turned into pieces of rotten flesh, but some of them still contained valuable materials that could be recycled.

Although dire wolves are relatively low-level monsters and not very valuable, they can win by sheer numbers.

Moreover, the corpses of two of the mutant dire wolves were remarkably intact, with their bones, fur, claws, and teeth in excellent condition, indicating that the evil spirit had taken great care of them.

"It should sell for about ninety gold coins?"

Even the experienced Carter struggled to assess the value of their spoils, given that the dire wolf carcasses appeared to have been rotting for some time and had been damaged in battle, making their exact worth difficult to determine.

However, two mutant war wolves whose strength is comparable to that of a hero-level adventurer will certainly be more expensive than the Steel Swamp Dragon.

"We will reward you for helping to dispose of the dire wolf's carcass," Kroya said to the elite adventurer brought by the Demon Sword Warren.

In addition, regarding the other elite adventurer killed by the dire wolf, Kroya decided to bring his body back to the adventurer camp. After all, the person who killed him was not Kroya, so it would not cause any trouble. Moreover, the other party might have family members who might not want him to be buried in the wilderness.

So the group, carrying large and small bags, began their journey back to camp. They also made a makeshift coffin so the body of the deceased adventurer could lie comfortably inside, and placed it on a sled made from whatever materials they had on hand, which was then pulled by dogs.

With.

Your respect for the deceased is a commendable quality.

[Strength slightly increased]

"By the way, where's Warren, the Demon Sword?"

On the way, Merian raised a question, which she was quite concerned about as a bard, especially one who had been betrayed by the demon sword Warren.

"Is he dead?" Merian asked, voicing his somewhat expectant question.

“No, he broke his oath.” Kroya shook his head. “He ran away while fighting the evil spirit.”

"So what are you going to do?" Carter asked. "Has God punished him?"

Making a vow to God is a vow that is neither too light nor too heavy. Sometimes the punishment may not come in time, but because of faith and custom, people are full of awe for God.

But Kroya is a devout believer, and who knows, one day the Demon Sword Warren might be killed by a few bolts of lightning from the sky when he goes out.

Kroya reached for his sword of judgment at his waist and then spoke.

"God wants me to send the Demon Sword Warren to the Land of the Dead to receive the punishment for breaking my oath."

"So, I might kill him."

The group fell silent, taken aback by what Kroya had said.

After all, it sounds a bit unbelievable that Kroya would go out of his way to kill someone—although his reasons for killing the Demon Sword Warren were quite valid.

"But before that, I will give him a chance to atone for his sins. He was just too afraid of death, which led him to break his oath and anger the gods."

Kroya shook his head again. His sympathy for the Demon Sword Warren outweighed his anger; everyone is afraid of death.

"If he can sincerely correct his mistakes and seek the forgiveness of the gods, then there is no need to kill him as if it were an act of revenge."

Conversely, Croa would not show any mercy.
