The warm feeling disappeared as time went by.
When everything returned to normal, Kieran opened his eyes and spat out a heavy breath.
[After training, Master level Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art has acquired a certain amount of experience, cost reduced by 5,000 Points …]
[Dawn Knight Body Tempering Art (Pro → Grand Master) costs 45000 Points, 5 Golden Skill Points, Yes/No?]
...
The precise numbers showed that Kieran's training had achieved extraordinary results.
However, it was a pity that he wouldn't have such an opportunity every time.
Kieran would only get the chance every time he leveled up.
"If only I had more time!"
Kieran sighed in his heart.
Once again, he felt the importance of time.
Because of the choices of completing as many sub-missions and titles as possible in the dungeon world and leveling up as fast as possible, entering the dungeon after cooldown reset, Kieran was always pressed for time in both the dungeon world and the game lobby.
However, there were pros and cons!
Kieran gave up on the grinding of time in exchange for another kind of rapid leveling up.
Even though he had to take a bigger risk, the results were quite good.
[Strength: B +, Agility: B +, Constitution: B +, Spirit: A, Intuition: B-]
...
All of his attributes had reached the major rank of B.
His Spirit had even reached A.
More importantly, he still had room for improvement.
Kieran looked at his Points and Skill Points tab.
[Points: 29800; Skill Points: 35; Golden Skill Points: 2; Golden Attribute Points: 6]
...
"Golden Attribute Points are enough to raise my Constitution and Spirit to the requirements of [Fusion Heart]!"
Kieran had been thinking about the requirements of [Fusion Heart] ever since.
After all, each usage required 1 Golden Skill Point, which was a little extravagant.
Even though [Transform Devil] and [Summon Beast] were powerful, Kieran still had to deal with them.
More importantly, there was the repulsion!
Back in the [Queen's Shield] dungeon, if it wasn't for [Mardos Arm] and [Lionheart], he would have been turned into a puppet of flesh and blood.
Kieran had a lingering fear at the thought of the situation at that time.
Therefore, at this time, Kieran did not hesitate to make an upgrade.
[Using Golden Attribute Points …]
[Constitution B + → A-]
[Using Golden Attribute Points …]
[Physique A- → A]
[Using Golden Attribute Points …]
[Spirit A → A +]
[Using Golden Attribute Points …]
[Spirit A + → S-]
[Using Golden Attribute Points …]
[Spirit S- → S]
…
[Met the requirements of Fusion Heart, repulsion dispelled …]
…
Following the increment of 5 Golden Attribute Points, the repulsion from [Fusion Heart] disappeared and the remarks changed as well.
[Remark: This is a heart formed by the fusion of a human heart, the heart of a Demon Overlord, and the core of the Creature of Desire. You have a powerful body and a firm will to control this special heart, but it won't yield so easily. It won't just grow stronger as you fight, it's also searching for a chance … In order to truly conquer it, you will need a chance or continue growing stronger!]
Looking at the remarks, Kieran frowned.
Obviously, it was still a little different from what he expected.
Although the consumption of Golden Skill Points was reduced every time he used it, the repulsion didn't.
Or more precisely, it didn't completely disappear.
"Chance? Or continue growing stronger? "
Repeating the last sentence in the remarks, Kieran couldn't help but raise his hand and use the second knuckle of his index finger to rub his swollen forehead.
It seemed like there were two choices.
But in fact, there was only one.
He could only choose to continue growing stronger.
As for the chance?
He had no clue at all.
Of course, according to the remarks, he still had a 'stupid' way.
Stop fighting.
Maintain his current state.
It was the most effortless way and also very tempting.
But if Kieran could try it out, he wouldn't call it stupid.
Unless he wanted to wait for death.
"Should I try to control my emotions in the future?"
Kieran muttered to himself.
After experiencing the 'counterattack' of the Creature of Desire and the devil shadow several times, Kieran naturally found the pattern of their appearance.
The former was closely linked to his emotions and desires.
The latter seemed to be linked to the killer intents and pure destruction.
Before he could grow stronger or find a chance, he had to do this if he wanted to live a peaceful life.
Or …
Kieran looked down at [Mardos Arm] and [Lionheart].
If he could find a way to communicate with the 'souls' of the two equipment, he might be able to resist the repulsion of [Fusion Heart].
The equipment 'soul' was the name Kieran gave to the small spider and golden lion mirage.
It wasn't an easy task though.
Kieran tried everything he could think of.
He called with his thoughts.
He spoke directly.
He even tried from [Mystical Knowledge].
But it was useless.
Just when Kieran was thinking whether he could use his own blood to perform some special ritual, the system's message came.
Coll?
Kieran was surprised when he saw the name.
Although Lawless had said that as long as Rachel was there, Coll wouldn't die, Kieran was still surprised when he read the message from Coll.
Coll: 2567, thank you for everything you've done for me.
Coll: Although I don't have anything to repay you directly, I think I have to do something. Coincidentally, Lawless has been very busy lately, so he's temporarily passed the cushy job of being the middleman to me.
Coll: If there's anything you need, just tell me!
…
Kieran didn't directly voice his thoughts when he saw Coll taking on everything.
Even though he really needed a middleman and he had saved Coll's life before.
However, the unfamiliarity between both of them wasn't enough for Kieran to trust Coll right away.
2567: Thank you.
…
After some thought, Kieran expressed his gratitude with such words.
At the same time, it was also his closing words.
However, Coll didn't have the intention to end it.
He began to talk nonstop like a lawless person.
Coll: Lawless mentioned to me before he left that 2567, you're a bit of a loner.
Coll: Don't worry, I'm a talkative person!
Coll: Whether it's chit-chatting or some professional knowledge of the underground game, I don't think I'm any weaker than Lawless.
Coll: And that madman Allen is preparing to have a big fight with Broker's underlings outside your room, don't go out no matter what!
…
Words kept popping up before Kieran's eyes.
Kieran unconsciously glanced at the player's ID. If it wasn't for Coll, he would have thought Coll was chatting with Lawless.
Besides, Coll didn't just talk like Lawless, he also learned the main points of the conversation perfectly at the end.
If Coll was really imitating Lawless, Kieran had to admit that he had succeeded.
Coll: I'm very sure that Broker that bastard must have set up another trap. Not only to deal with Allen, but also you, 2567!
Coll: Remember, don't go out no matter what!
…
KABOOM!
Coll's reminder was still flashing before Kieran's eyes when an explosion sounded outside Kieran's door.
Right away, Kieran squinted his eyes.
