Chapter 111: Chapter111-Post-Battle Review

Dark Realm.

In a desolate mountain range far, far away from Night City.

Black cliffs remained shrouded in thick fog year-round.

Deep within the mountainside.

An extremely hidden cave lay silently in the darkness.

Suddenly.

An almost transparent soul drifted in through the cave entrance.

Moving at incredible speed.

It followed the winding stone passage deeper and deeper.

Until finally.

It entered an ancient stone coffin at the very depths of the cave.

BUZZ—

The magical patterns covering the coffin instantly lit up.

The stone coffin, silent for so long, began trembling violently.

Accompanied by a dull grinding sound.

The heavy lid slowly slid aside.

A pale, slender hand reached out from within.

A moment later.

Rosaline slowly sat up.

Her dark green hair fell over her shoulders.

Her eyes opened once again.

After a brief moment of confusion.

Her memories rapidly returned.

Rosaline rubbed her brow.

"You really didn’t hold back..."

This death.

Had completely ruined the body she had only recently managed to restore.

Naturally, her strength would fall again as well.

Fortunately, her soul had returned intact.

More importantly.

Her grimoire had already been recovered.

With that old friend who had accompanied her for so many years by her side, rebuilding her body and restoring her strength would be much easier.

Compared to the state she had been in when she first broke free from the seal.

Things were already far better.

The corner of Rosaline’s mouth rose again.

"Once I recover, that seat among the Twelve Witches..."

"It’s about time they gave it back."

At the thought.

Rosaline’s mood immediately improved.

She instinctively reached toward her waist.

Planning to take out the grimoire she had only just recovered and have another look at it.

Her hand found nothing.

"Hmm?"

Rosaline paused.

Then checked another spot.

Still nothing.

Her brows gradually furrowed.

She opened her spatial pouch.

Her mental power swept through it.

Potions.

Materials.

Several backup items.

Some Gold Coins.

But no black-and-red grimoire.

The cave fell silent.

Rosaline sat inside the stone coffin.

Still looking down as she searched through her spatial pouch.

For a long time.

She didn’t move.

Then she slowly raised her head.

The smile on her face had completely vanished.

After a long silence.

Rosaline finally grabbed her hair with both hands.

"AAAAAHHH—!!!"

Her scream instantly echoed throughout the entire cave.

"My grimoire!!!"

"I only just got it back!!!"

"You little bastard! That was way too much!!!"

Her furious voice continued reverberating through the mountain.

...

Dawnstar City.

"Achoo!"

John suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose.

"Who’s cursing me?"

He thought about it.

He had offended quite a lot of people recently.

The range was too broad.

Impossible to guess.

Forget it.

John looked back at the panel.

He had already finished checking the Void Staff.

Next up were the new traits he had obtained from leveling all the way to Lv45 during his trip through Night City.

There had been far too many system notifications.

Only now did he finally have time to sort through them properly.

John first pulled out a few of them.

[Lv42 SSS-rank Trait — Domain Expansion!]

[Current Number of Domain Expansion Traits: 5!]

Its range doubled yet again.

Immediately afterward.

The next notification appeared.

[Lv43 SSS-rank Trait — Shared Status Panel!]

[Shared Status Panel]

[Effect: While a pet is summoned, 50% of the pet’s current panel attributes will be shared with its master!]

[Note: This effect only applies to pets. Summons cannot trigger this effect!]

John’s eyes instantly lit up.

Fifty percent of the pet’s panel attributes?

His first thought was Ice Rose.

The turtle was already Lv30.

Its HP, defenses, and Spell Power were all far beyond what ordinary players possessed.

And now half of all that would be given directly to him?

"That’s a little ridiculous."

Continue.

[Lv44 SSS-rank Trait — Mobile Health Pack!]

[Mobile Health Pack]

[Effect: While a pet is summoned, damage taken by the master will be transferred to the pet first until the pet dies!]

John stared at the description.

As long as Ice Rose was alive.

When someone attacked him.

It was the turtle that lost HP?

"Broken."

This trait might not have been quite so ridiculous on an ordinary pet.

But Ice Rose was a textbook tank-type pet.

Now it was directly standing in front of John’s HP bar.

If anyone wanted to kill John in the future.

They would have to deal with the turtle first.

And while dealing with the turtle, they would still have to endure its Ice-type counterattacks.

Only after finally killing the pet.

Could they even touch the master.

Just imagining it was disgusting.

John couldn’t have been more satisfied.

The final one.

[Lv45 SSS-rank Trait — Domain Expansion!]

"..."

Again?

[Current Number of Domain Expansion Traits: 6!]

John stared at the number.

For a moment, he didn’t even know what to say.

His area skills were already absurd enough.

And now he had gained two more copies in a row.

From now on, whenever he used skills like Gravity Black Hole or Icefire Flame Array.

There would probably only be one question left to ask.

Was the map big enough?

"Equip them all."

[Void Staff has obtained SSS-rank Trait: Domain Expansion ×2!]

[Void Staff has obtained SSS-rank Trait: Shared Status Panel!]

[Void Staff has obtained SSS-rank Trait: Mobile Health Pack!]

Rainbow-gold light flashed repeatedly.

John then raised a hand.

"Ice Rose."

A blue summoning array unfolded beside him.

A Thorn Turtle carrying a thick ice-crystal shell landed on the ground.

"Guu?"

Ice Rose tilted its head.

Seemingly confused as to why it had suddenly been summoned.

John directly opened its panel.

[Ice Rose]

[Quality: SS]

[Level: Lv30]

[HP: 72,000/72,000]

[Spell Power: 1,500]

[Physical Defense: 1,200]

[Magic Defense: 1,200]

[Talent: Frigid Life]

[Skills: Ice Bolt, Frostthorn Thicket, Frost Crystal Counterarmor, Frostthorn Armor]

Seventy-two thousand HP.

At the current stage.

Most players would probably fall silent the moment they saw that HP bar.

John crouched down.

And patted Ice Rose’s shell.

"Not bad."

"Guu!"

Ice Rose seemed to understand.

It raised its head a little higher.

John suddenly thought of the [Mount Evolution Card] inside the Void Arsenal.

Ice Rose was still only SS-rank.

And its attributes were already this exaggerated.

As for that Leviathan mount egg currently incubating.

It was already SS-rank to begin with.

Once it hatched and he used the Evolution Card on it...

What would it become?

John was already looking forward to his next login.

He closed the pet panel.

Then.

Opened his own status.

This trip to Night City.

Had improved far more than just his level.

[Player: Endbringer]

[Level: Lv45]

[Class: Voidwalker]

[Core Four Attributes: 2,153]

[Main Weapon: SSS-rank Void Staff]

[Pet: SS-rank Ice Rose]

[Max HP: 168,000]

(The full panel takes up too much space. I’ll organize it and post it directly in the comments.)

John’s gaze stopped on the HP value.

During that final round of clearing Night City.

Far too many ordinary Dark Race members had died.

[Heart of Void] had practically been triggering nonstop.

That single wave alone.

Had permanently increased his Max HP by more than ten thousand.

Then add the HP growth from his own attributes.

And the additional 36,000 HP shared by Ice Rose while summoned.

In his current combat state.

His HP had already reached an absurd level.

"I’m looking more and more like a BOSS."

This trip through the Dark Realm had practically caused his entire combat system to undergo another complete qualitative transformation.
