I'm in Ancient Capital. I will be spending 2 or 3 months here while collecting some soul essences for buying new galaxy vein and magic accelerator. This device helps in increasing cultivation speed, spell casting speed and faster control over stars meaning help fast learning of a spell.

As much as it has advantages, it's price is equivalently high, it costs 250M Yaun meaning 35-40 days of continuous soul grinding.

So, I prepared myself to get the title of psycho again and went on undead killing spree.

AFTER 3 MONTHS

I'm resting now after killing all those undeads. I have my galaxy vein and magic accelerator now.

I also bought a commander rank soul essence as few weeks ago, imperial magicians happened to defeat one. Now I have a soul grade galaxy tier magic device. So, better chances of achieving advance tier of summoning element.

NEXT WEEK

I'm on my way to the village. I just can't control my excitement whenever I remember I will soon have another element of advance tier.

I'm going alone this time as I got little familiar with the place last time and the map I bought was good and detailed.

No, I didn't bother to take a round by the territory of generals, it would be like refusing coming money. I went in straight line to the village which turned the week long journey into 3 day's journey.

Gatekeeper recognised me and called the chief who let me enter immediately.

"Good to see you again Kevin. I was wondering if you ever will return."said chief seems a little troubled.

"You are underestimating worth of 1 month's training in your holy pond."I said not thinking much.

"Well that's our treasure for you. We don't let anyone come closer to it if not for crisis."said chief somewhat proud and somewhat helpless.

"That's how you use a treasure? either you die protecting it or use it to protect it itself. I would say second one is better if you got deal with a good man like me."I said jokingly at the end.

"Let me familiar you with the situation."said chief indicating me to follow him.

I follow him to the his house.

"I'm really glad you came Kevin the situation was kind of getting out of hand. I thought killing it's general will let us be in peace for some time but now they are just too many. I gave to go out myself sometimes. It seems that commander is getting impatient. It has focused quite a number of generals around the village their numbers reached more than 50 now."explained chief.

"That's quite a army it has accumulated. But don't worry, I can take care of it. But I want to enter holy pond for two months after defeating those generals."I said.

"Are trying to take advantage of our situation?" he asked, displeased.

"Don't talk nonsense I would fight even if you don't let me enter holy pond. I just want to prepare myself little extra when time come to deal with that commander. And it makes more sense since you asked me to deal with only commander not army of undead generals."I reasoned.

"Fine just deal with them already and you will have your two months down there."said chief in defeat.

Then I take the map and went on general killing spree. I take down them in just 20 days thanks to my level-4 Lightning Bolt. I collected 10 warrior soul essences and 70 servant soul essences. I decided not to use them currently but I'm having heavy urge to upgrade my Lightning Bolt to level-5.

A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

I return to village. The chief was very pleased with my work. He immediately made arrangements for me to go to holy pond.

I decided to spend first 3 weeks in cultivation then use the galaxy vein. And during next month, I will spend my time controlling the stars with all the resources, there is great chance that I will learn the advance tier summoning spell within that month.

AFTER 2 MONTHS

I came out of the holy pond. I did everything to hide my kind of vicious smile but couldn't. I was just too happy. My Summoning Element reach advance tier and I also managed to learn Summon Horde. So, this is the power and money huh. Even in magic world it still retain it's glory.

I went to chief's house.

"Your creepy smile is telling me you succeed."said chief.

"It's not creepy."I said sternly.

"Are you ready then?"chief asked.

"Time will tell."I said unsure of my strength but I have trump card under my sleeve.

"Run away if you find yourself at disadvantage. If you're alive there is always a next time."chief advised.

"Okay"I said and left.

Riding on my eagle I arrive at the destination. It was a huge green tree in middle of desert. It was easily 7-8 storey high. There were fruits hanging on it branches which were attracting my eagle. I tried to control it but the closer it gets the more difficult it become, in the end I have to land. Which wasn't a good idea as tens of general undeads and about a thousand servant undeads crawl out of land.

"Dimensional summon: level-5 come forth holy kites."

Three advanced warrior kites come out of my dimensional gate. They were emitting intense holy light comparable to strength of Illuminating: Blindness. Servant undeads start to weaken and can only try to hide.

And it seems holy kites hatred for undeads is far greater than their hunger for those fruits.

Roots launched out of ground and start attacking the hawks but hawks cut them down with their talons.

That tree might be a commander but an advanced warrior is not something which can easily be taken by such attacks. If they were on ground. It would have been another story but they have ariel advantage.

Monster tree also understand that and start attacking me the main threat who was butchering it's army. I jumped on one of the holy hawks and head as close as possible to the tree.

"Lonely Death Lightning: Thunder Arm"

The spell hit the target and did some damage but that's all, lightning element was never a good counter for plant element. This damage also must be because of 'bane of darkness'. I change my tactics.

First I need to kill it's underlings.

"Punishing Whip"

"Lightning Bolt: level-4."

I fight as efficiently as possible and killed more than half of it's army. Then something unexpected happened. It's roots start killing it's own army but no soul remnant was flowing into my pandent. Meaning it was planning for fighting me head on. I start killing the generals as quickly as possible but those which were bound by its roots and killed by me still didn't release soul remnant.

After few minutes, it was only the commander, my three hawks and me. It seems time has come for me to show my trump card.

"Return"

I called back my hawks.

"Dimensional summon: level-5: come forth white peacock"

A huge white peacock comes out of dimensional gate. It's whole body was white but it's tail wings were golden. It was lower commander rank beast. It's size is smaller than the tree commander.

I start to fee littlel headache. But I manage to keep myself together.

The fight between the commanders started. I feel like I will be squashed if I dare to come closer. Tree monster try to bind the peacock but it's roots got burned after few seconds of making contact with peacock commander.

Tree commander was stronger and bigger but peacock had elemental advantage, speed advantage and ariel advantage.

Soon both the commanders were exhausted. They were ready for their last strikes.

Tree monster's branches started to shake violently. It's fruits and leaves fell down. They were now like tentacles rushing towards peacock.

Peacock flies higher than expand it's wings and tail feathers like when a normal one dances. Then tens of feathers shot out of its tail and wings each of them equivalent in strength to a level-3 intermediate spell.

Both of the attacks collide, feathers cut down tree's branches, only it's trunk was left now. Peacock was exhausted now and I was also at my limit.

"Return"

I summon the peacock back.

"Lightning Bolt: level-4"

I cast the spell 5 times in row, the trunk was also destroyed now. I didn't go near it as no soul remnant flew into my pandent. After catching my breath, I again cast Lightning Bolt: level-5 for few times.

Then something very unexpected happened no it was a miracle. 1 commander soul essence, 23 warrior soul essences and about 350 hundred servant soul essences flew into my pandent. I couldn't believe what actually happened. Then I start to curse myself as the number of soul essences were same as the the number of monsters tree monster killed from it's army.

I start collecting all collectables including those fruits and put them in my dimensional storage ring. Then I come to near it's trunk. I remember plant monsters always drop seed after dieing. I didn't find the seed but I did find a fruit little bigger than the others.

I enter the ruins of village to explore and to see if I found some treasure but got nothing. So, I left and return to the village.

Gate keeper open the door as soon as he saw me from afar. By the time I reach the gate. Chief was already out.

"So, you defeat it?"chief asked.

"Any doubt."I replied.

"Did you bring it's seed?"chief asked.

"Nope but I have these, these should be enough for you to believe me."I said while pulling out fruits out of my ring.

He picked up the odd fruit.

"Hmm... yeah this is the seed of the tree. This fruit is highly nourished by holy water. This must be it's plan to survive in case it got destroyed. This is enough of a proof. You have done your job. You can rest here for a while if you want."said chief and gave back the fruit.

"What about the other fruits?"I asked him.

"They are very nutritious, they can help a summoner in evolving their beasts. You can sell them for about 10-15M Yuan each. As for the seed, you can sell it for 20-30M Yuan to a summoner or a necromancer. You must have that commander soul essence right. If sell everything together. It will be sold for about 500M Yuan. You can buy a soul grade seed for yourself now."Chief said with chuckle.

"Woah, that commander was really something. To think it dropped such precious treasure."I exclaimed.

"Don't forget it nourished itself from holy water for years, otherwise you will never get these fruits and that commander soul essence."chief explained.

"How do you know I got a commander soul essence?" I asked little suspicious.

"We have hunt down few lucky monsters who managed to get some water from holy well. They always release soul essences after dieing."chief explained.

"That make sense."I agreed as in the novel the first soul essence was collected from that advance servant wolf which managed to get it's paws on some water of holy spring.

After resting for few days in the village, I left with a smile on my face.

I decided to stay in Ancient Capital to satisfy my desire. No, not that one. My desire for Lightning Bolt: level-5
