Chapter 132, Section 130: Imbuing Spirit [Please Subscribe and Vote]

Milton, a Tier 5 Heavy Armor Warrior from the Kingdom of Shak, stood in front of the Enchantment Instance Certificate, looking radiant.

Before he could even feel happy, he saw the scene around him.

His face instantly darkened...

"Kid, is this how you welcome me?"

Eight familiar faces, former members of the Seven Kingdoms Fifth-Tier Alliance, stood guard, weapons in hand, watching him warily.

As for why there are eight people, why not nine, and where the missing one went?

Milton, the fifth-tier [Heavy Armor Warrior] who had just successfully imbued himself with spirit power, did not ask any questions, knowing that the person was not here.

Given Ankai's ruthless nature, he's probably already been reincarnated...

Looking at Milton, who had successfully been empowered, a fleeting look of envy flashed in the eyes of Widow Wang, who was standing beside Ankai.

Then, he looked at this fifth-tier expert, who was neither an enemy nor a "friend," with full alertness!

The fifth-tier, first-level assassin, Malken, stood in front of Ankai, dagger in hand. He felt a heavy aura emanating from Milton.

Furthermore, the unpleasant "dusk" emanating from Milton had vanished, and in Malken's eyes, Milton was now brimming with "vitality"...

He looked like a young man in the prime of his youth.

"Is this what soul-inflicting is?"

Malken muttered to himself, a fleeting look of envy crossing his eyes…

Ankai, wielding the Staff of Brute Force, did not respond when Milton called him "boy."

Instead, he sensed the [contract] in his mind and checked it repeatedly, confirming that the [contract] with Milton was still valid.

Then he took out the attribute detector made by the detector merchant Andorn and aimed it at Milton…

drop…

With a soft click, the attribute detector that Andoun made for Ankai displayed Milton's values...

【Intelligence: 398】

[Endurance: 2102]

[Stamina: 972]

【Strength: 814】

[Tier 5, Level 10...Heavy Armor Warrior]

Hey!

Ankai immediately noticed the stamina attribute of [2102].

It's no exaggeration to say that if Hanks saw this level of stamina, he would question his own existence.

At the same time, the stamina value of [2102] also proves that Milton has indeed broken through the limit of [2000] for the highest single attribute value in the fifth tier.

The spirit infusion...it really worked...

After putting away the attribute detector, An Kai suddenly thought of something else…

"That bastard Andaoen, his detector can detect Enchantresses? Is that bastard hiding something from me?!"

Having secretly decided to resolve the matter here, Ankai prepared to visit the detector merchant, Andorn, to catch up...

Gently pushing Malken aside, Ankai's face instantly broke into a kind smile, as if he were genuinely welcoming Milton's return, and he gave a soft shout:

"Congratulations! Congratulations! Congratulations on becoming the first spirit-wielding...powerful being in our Good Family, our Desert, and the seven surrounding kingdoms!"

As he spoke, Ankai walked toward Milton, taking out a crown woven from green branches from inside the mage tower.

He walked towards Milton with the air of "reuniting with an old friend," while simultaneously activating the [Contract] in his heart and putting pressure on Milton.

Having just successfully imbued the spirit, Milton, standing in front of the [Immunization Instance Certificate], was about to rebuke Ankai for his hypocritical words.

Suddenly, a pressure came from the [contract] that had been signed with Ankai.

In an instant, Milton, who was still rejoicing over the successful spirit infusion, was stunned and realized his true predicament.

original…

Even with the empowerment, he couldn't escape this kid's control?!

Standing there, memories of signing the contract flooded my mind.

Milton just couldn't understand what it was about Ankai that attracted the "God of Law" and the "God of Contracts," that made these two gods, who hadn't appeared on the continent for a long time, help Ankai, who lived in a remote area, cheat!

Ugh!

A heavy sigh couldn't fully express Milton's frustration, confusion, and helplessness...

Watching Ankai approach him with a smile and a green crown in his hand, Milton finally chose to face reality…

Having just successfully imbued himself with a spirit, he still has plenty of years to squander. He can't afford to waste his lifespan because he's not clear about what's going on in front of him...

Milton, the fifth-tier [Heavy Armor Warrior] who had successfully been imbued with spirit power, suddenly knelt on one knee amidst a crowd of onlookers. He clenched his right fist, bent his arm, placed it on his left chest, lowered his head, and uttered a low, devout, and loyal shout:

"My lord! I'm back!"

At the sound, Ankai smiled, chuckled a few times, and quickly walked a few steps to Milton, who was bowing his head.

They placed a green and ugly crown on his head.

"Thank you for your generous gift, sir!"

Once the crown was on, Milton, with his keen eye, offered a compliment.

He knew that Ankai had prepared such an ugly crown to intimidate him.

It was when the pressure from the [contract] came through that Milton suddenly understood what was going on.

Since we can't escape it, why not choose to accept it?

The unequal "contract" he signed with Ankai is something he cannot escape even with the empowerment of his spirit, so why not choose to accept it?

After being imbued with a spirit, one's lifespan increases, and one no longer needs to worry about impending death.

So if you're going to be someone's dog, it's better to be an obedient one.

After all, when Milton was hiring, he preferred obedient dogs; disobedient ones were not only annoying but would also disappear for unknown reasons…

This is a desert, not the Seven Kingdoms.

The rules are set by the hegemon.

Few people who live to Milton's age, having resolved the threat of aging, are not insightful.

Seeing that Milton was so cooperative, as the saying goes, you can't hit a smiling face.

An Kai quickly helped him up.

Looking at the ten fifth-tier professionals watching, An Kai, seemingly sincere, softly called out, "For..."

"Milton." Standing beside Ankai, Milton whispered a reminder, afraid that Ankai might forget his name.

Ankai remained unfazed and continued, "Milton's spirit has been successfully imbued... Applause!"

"applaud…?"

Apart from Malken and Widow Wang, the remaining eight fifth-tier professionals were somewhat confused, wondering what kind of celebration clapping was...

However, after seeing Ankai lead the way and Hanks and the widow applauding, they followed suit, nodding slightly and clapping with big smiles on their faces.

They also imitated Hanks and Widow Wang, and the people nearby would occasionally exchange glances, nod slightly, and open and close their mouths as if praising Milton.

Seeing this scene with such a familiar taste, An Kai was very satisfied.

This change can be considered a transformation he brought to the world...

Among those present, only Malken seemed somewhat puzzled.

He felt like he had seen this scene before.

I've seen it somewhere before, but I can't remember where.

It wasn't until he saw Ankai gently pat Milton on the shoulder in an encouraging gesture that he remembered why he felt a sense of familiarity...

"This...this isn't me?!"

Malken paused in his clapping. No wonder it felt familiar; he remembered clearly how Ankai had clapped and patted him on the shoulder with a smile when they signed the contract.

Suddenly, Malken's gaze toward Milton turned hostile.

Just like the way Nurnexus looked at Hanks…

...

night.

Inside the castle.

Ankaimian called it a "welcome party for Milton" and gathered all the fifth-tier professionals in the city of Good House in his castle.

In addition, Hanks, Wayne, and Nurnexus were also added.

The welcoming banquet is a minor matter; inquiring about the "Spirit Empowerment Secret Realm" is of utmost importance, especially regarding what exactly "Spirit Empowerment" is.

Milton, a fifth-tier [Heavy Armor Warrior] who has just successfully been imbued with spirit, has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a somewhat simple and honest appearance.

How could he not understand An Kai's thoughts?

Before An Kai could ask, he took the initiative to tell him about his experience in the [Spirit Empowerment Secret Realm].

Without a doubt, with so many people present, plus that big black rat, they must be An Kai's true confidants.

Or perhaps it refers to the signatories of the contract.

So when Milton said these things, as he expected, he was not stopped by Ankai; on the contrary, it aroused Ankai's great interest.

Milton continued to describe the environment and dangers within the [Spirit Realm].

An Kai lost interest after listening for a while and bluntly asked, "No treasures or resources?"

Milton was taken aback by the question, but the others seemed unsurprised.

"My lord... the ability to imbue something with spirit is the greatest treasure..."

"cut!"

Upon hearing Milton's explanation, Ankai responded with utter disdain, showing no mercy whatsoever...

The image of an old friend flashed through his mind, and he continued, "Have you seen any strangers? For example, young women?"

Milton paused again, thought for a long time, and then shook his head…

"No?"

An Kai muttered something to himself, then whispered, "What a pity."

Milton also wanted to ask if Ankai knew this... woman?

An Kai wasn't interested, so he waved his hand and leaned back, saying, "Continue."

But in his heart, he felt sorry for Chris.

If Chris herself were alive, Milton would always be able to see her within a year.

If we can't see him now, there's only one possibility: he's dead.

That's why Ankai felt sorry for Chris.

It's a pity about Chris's extensive magical knowledge, it's a pity about Chris...

Of all the people present, only Widow Wang seemed to be deep in thought, as if she had guessed something.

Meanwhile, after this little incident, Milton continued to recount his experience in the "Spirit Realm".

Wayne, like a scribe, jotted down Milton's every word and action with a flurry of hand gestures.

And they'll ask a few questions every now and then...

Milton didn't want to talk to Wayne, after all, this wasn't the Kingdom of Shak, and Wayne no longer had the status of the Crown Prince of Shak.

But seeing that Ankai didn't stop Wayne from asking questions, he realized that this first-rank prince seemed to have some privileges here...

Milton would even be "reminded" by Ankai if he answered some questions too perfunctorily.

At this point, Milton finally understood the arrangement of positions here.

So, those at the fifth rank are the bottom level, and the first rank is the top level?

Time passes by bit by bit.

The process continued until Wayne was out of trouble, and then the sunlight outside disappeared and reappeared, repeating itself twice.

Milton then finished recounting his experience in the [Spirit Empowerment Realm].

An Kai lost interest after listening for a few minutes.

They're just hiding in the inner city of Chaos City.

Before Milton could even rest for a moment, Ankai, lying on the bed, asked, "What is spirit empowerment?"

In an instant, the group inside the castle, who had been listening to stories for two days and two nights and had initially lost interest, suddenly became interested because of this question.

Even though Widow Wang had guessed some of the answers through Milton's narration, she still harbored illusions and hoped to get a different answer...

Milton paused, his expression turning pious, and replied solemnly, "My lord, spirit empowerment is the process of imbuing our profession with spirituality to unlock its..."

"To make a long story short," An Kai said, not particularly interested in this grand theory; he was getting hungry...

Milton paused, pondered for a few seconds, and slowly said, "Communicate with the gods."

"Communicating with the gods?"

An Kai was taken aback. How did he end up being associated with those unlucky gods who wouldn't appear for nearly ten thousand years?

"My lord, the 'spirit' in 'enchanting' refers to the 'spirit' of the gods. We must communicate with the gods who created our profession, using their 'spirit' to imbue our profession with true spirituality, enabling it to reach new heights!"

Milton explained, then stood up.

He uttered a soft shout: "Imbue with Spirit!"

In an instant, a clay-sculpted armor, resembling loess, enveloped Milton completely, causing his figure to rise to a towering three meters in height!

In his left hand, a brownish-brown, spiked, long-handled hammer appeared; in his right hand, a brownish-brown shield, identical in shape to Milton's, appeared and was embedded in his right arm.

The armor was a brownish-brown color, with intricate patterns on its surface…

Milton, clad in earth-brown armor, spoke in a low, booming voice: "My lord, this is my spirit as a [Heavy Armor Warrior], a spirit bestowed upon me after communicating with the God of War!"

Ankai could clearly sense that Milton's defensive capabilities had increased significantly after this armament.

However, while Milton's empowerment increased his defense, it simultaneously reduced his mobility...

Seeing this, An Kai got itchy fingers.

I've been in seclusion for a year and haven't had a proper fight yet.

The [Brute Force Staff] suddenly appeared in my hand.

With a thought, a two-and-a-half-meter-tall, pitch-black armor, yet radiating intense heat, instantly materialized.

He lifted the [Strength Staff] with one hand and uttered a soft shout: "I'll test your defenses!"

Milton was taken aback, but immediately became fully focused.

Ankai held the [Brute Force Staff], which looked clumsy but was actually incredibly agile.

With a swift movement, he appeared in front of Milton.

The Staff of Brute Force slammed down on Milton…

Both of them were clad in armor, resembling two giants...

boom!

With a deafening roar, Milton was sent flying like a streak of light...

About two seconds later, a loud explosion came from outside the castle: Boom!

By the faint moonlight, Ankai could see Milton's condition...

After being imbued with spirit, things were indeed different. All four of his attributes reached a value of [822], and he still managed to break the Milton Armor.

Milton struggled for a moment, then rose from the ground and voluntarily removed his armor…

His face contorted in a grimace, and he wailed, "My lord, your strength is simply too much!"

Seeing this, Ankai put away the [Brute Force Staff]. He hadn't expected that Milton, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, would be so perceptive.

He muttered to himself, "Getting on track."

With a smile on his face, he sat back down in his seat.

Milton jogged a few steps and entered the room, pretending to be out of breath.

This gave everyone present a new understanding of An Kai's strength...

Milton was also alarmed. Although he was faking it partly, he was genuinely using all his strength to defend when Ankai attacked him.

In the end, An Kai still managed to send him flying with a single blow, and he flew for two seconds before landing...

Although not injured...

"After you were imbued with spirit, you've reached the fifth rank or higher?"

Wayne, who had been taking notes on the scene, asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
