It seems I've leveled up five times in the fight, increasing my level up to level 47!
After thrusting my [ Rune Demonic blade ] into Regress body, depleting her very tiny [ HP ], I hurriedly activated my new skill [ Corpse Decomposition ] which I learned from pretty boy. Even if I can't bring her back alive in the outside world, I can still bring her body back. Maybe, I can give it to her family if I ever meet them, is what I thought.
Looking at her lifeless body, my legs felt as if it was drained with power as I dropped lifelessly onto my knees and hit the floor. In front of me are the dropped items but I'm not in the mood to check it out so I just store it all in the [ Spatial Ring ] without looking at it.
Although I have already prepared myself, but still killing someone you meet and befriended with, is still something I can't digest. A strange and complicated feeling welled up inside of me as tears began falling down from my cheeks.
'Haaa~ even though I'm quite excited about fighting and defeating stronger opponents, I can't still help myself but feel sad when someone dies in front of me.....such is the way of thinking when you're born in the same modern and peaceful age like me....'
"Master....sad?"
from who knows when, Hell together with Aqua have already arrived next to me. She sat down while grabbing the hem of my coat.
"Ah...Regress, even though she's like that...she is a very great person. A great woman and mother...Unfortunately with my power, I can't help her leave this place."
Bewildered, Hell raised her head and looked at me in the eyes.
"You see, even if she died she will still respawn here after a few days or maybe months. She will still live here alone until someone challenge her again. Whether she will win or die again, this cycle won't stop. Her soul were imprisoned here after all."
'That's right. Even if I managed to kill her right now, it will just give her a short period of rest...'
Answer: Doesn't master have the skill [ Spirit Separation ]? Then Master can just separate her soul from this place, isn't it?
As I was thinking about it, an unexpected suggestion came up all of a sudden.
"Whaaaaat?!Tha-, That is......Oh my gorgeous and reliable partner, is what you said true?"
Answer: Yes. [ Spirit Separation ] is a spirit type magic right? It's a magic relating to Souls and Spirit, such as; Possession, Soul break, Extraction and any other else. [ Spirit Separation ] is a skill to separate soul from the host. That can also be applied in this situation as this dungeon floor can be considered as her soul's host.
'I, I see....that makes sense....'
"T-Then with this I can really free her soul?"
Answer: Affirmative
"Yessss!!! Arche you're the best!!! Thank you very much! I love you to death!!!"
.....................
Having hope, I immediately activated my skill. Although It's my first time to use it, because of the knowledge flowing in my brain I easily invoked it. First is the surveying the area by [ Divine Sense ] to locate the residual soul essence. As expected, in the center of the large pool of magma there is a ball of white mass floating however it was bound in chains.
Second, which is the hardest part . I need to concentrate and use a huge amount of [ MP ] to break the chains by making my mana cover the chains.
It was a very hard thing to do, especially there are numerous chains binding the white ball which is Regress soul essence.
After I finally succeeded; which made my back and forehead covered with countless beads of sweat, Arche told me to find a suitable flame type magic core to put it. Although there is a chance of failing, but because she told me that higher the level of the monster core the greater the chances of success. That's why I didn't need to be stingy and used the highest flame type core I have, which is the 305th level [ Flame Ape King ]. I finally succeeded, leveling my [ Spirit Separation ] to Level two.
-------------------------------------
After successfully separating Regress soul from the dungeon floor, I store her body in my [ Spatial Ring ] and proceeded forward.
"Hell, Aqua it seems there's a room that way~"
By using my [ Divine Sense ], I found out that there is a little room up ahead. However, this little room is quite strange because even with the level of my [ Divine Sense ] I still couldn't inspect the room.
Walking together with Hell and Aqua while carrying the unconscious little girl for about a few minutes, I finally found what I'm looking for.
A jade color door with a height about 5-6 meters. It was quite shiny and even though the temperature in this area is quite abnormal, it was still looking dazzling and new. It seems that this door is made up of a very high grade material...............I'll collect this too~
'As long as it's a treasure; whether it's a door, a chair or a pipe, I'll collect it. Hahahaha'
Pushing the door, what greet me was the coldness and darkness of the surroundings that engulfed me as I walked silently. Unlike the hot temperature outside of this room, this place seemed to at a very low temperature.
Amidst the silence of the area, only mine and Hell's soft and cautious footsteps can be heard. It was totally dark inside. The thick cold darkness didn't reveal anything until when we are 3 meters away from the door, two crimson flames whooshed to life in front of us.
Then another pair....and another pair....pair of crimson flames ignited one after another, lighting our way while giving light in this solitary and dark place.
In the blink of an eye, the whole place became brighter, revealing a lone altar at the center of the room.
Although I'm expecting something like a hidden Boss appearing out of nowhere, it seems I'm quite mistaken. There are no signs of life here. Forget about hidden Boss not even a single bug or mouse can be perceive in my [ Divine Sense ].
At the top of the altar was a small bowl containing a red colored liquid.
Phoenix Blood (Mythology Class )
Description: The Phoenix inheritance: By drinking this, you will become the Heavenly Flame Phoenix. It gives 3 chances of rebirth and each rebirth double's one own stat values. Even if you die, just like the almighty Heavenly Phoenix, you can resurrect up to three times.
Caution: This blood is too tyrannical. If it doesn't deemed you worthy, it will give you endless suffering and can possibly kill you.
"Whaaaaaaaat?!!! Is this item for real? Isn't this too much of a cheat, balance-breaking item? Hey game company!!! Are you for real? Why did you put such cheat item in this game? If by some chance an evil or good person found this.....he will surely become a god!!!"
'However, since I'm the one who found it...that makes me the GOD! Hahahahahaha'
"Ah! Right, what about the monster core, Regress talking about?"
Suddenly remembering my promise, I sweep my head and look around for some magic cores. Fortunately enough, behind the altar was a treasure chest.
Seeing this box that was literarily screaming 'TREASURES!!!'. I immediately rushed in front of it.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Carefully putting the sleeping girl in the ground, I hurriedly open the chest.
Phoenix Tears ( Mythology Item ) 3x

Level 550 [ Fire Quake Titan ] Monster Core
Level 489 [ Four Tailed Mountain Whale ] Monster Core
The treasures that can be called treasures among treasures almost blown my mind...I almost vomit some blood and fainted. Forget about the Level 550 [ Fire Quake Titan ] Monster core, just by possessing one of these items can make any players drool. Even if I give away the Level 550 Monster core, I still have one water type monster core which is the Level 489 [ Four Tailed Mountain Whale ]. Together with the monster cores I already had, I can be considered the world's most richest man! Isn't it?
"Hehehehe coming into this terrible place seems to be a god send miracle! Hahahaha Heavens is on my side!"
Without Hesitation, I hurriedly put all the items in the treasure chest in my [ Spatial Ring ]. Not sparing anything, I also put the expensive looking treasure chest on my [ Spatial Ring ].
Who knows, I might have a use for it in the future You know~
Finished storing it, I once walked towards the altar. Seeing the small bowl containing the Mythology class item [ Phoenix Blood ] that can make anyone a living god, I unconsciously drooled as I swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Hey Arche. Can I really drink this blood? I wouldn't die, right?"
Answer: Depending on Master's Luck, capability, endurance and Will power.
"...........If I eat Regress heart and drink this, will there be any problem?"
Answer: Infinite Possibilities
"What do you mean by infinite possibilities?"
.......................
"Arche? My beloved Arche~.........no answer huh....umm but when I'm still a child, what I dream is not to become a phoenix but to become a dragon or a dragon slayer because it was cool~ but the effects of this blood is very godlike! How can I pass this chance?"
'Uugh! So hard! Although Phoenix is also cool but dragons are more cool and domineering~ Phoenix are more on the beauty type though. What to do...'
As I was contemplating whether I'll choose the dragon route or the phoenix route, a sudden insight appeared in my mind. Like an enlightenment, it gave me a new way to thread in this oh so interesting life of mine~ hehehe
"Hahahahaha they say that being greedy will lead to your death but human's are the embodiment of greed.....so why not choose both!? hahaha if I die, I'll die who cares. This way is the most interesting rather than choosing only one! I live not for safety but for entertainment! As long as there is an even more interesting choice, who cares about safety? hehehe"
Answer: Possibility of success: .01%
"Possibility of success? What's that? Is that my success rate if I drink the Phoenix Blood and at the same time eat Regress Heart?"
Answer: Yes. Dragon and Phoenix are both mythical beings. Although Dragons are scarce they are not extinct unlike the phoenix which possess beauty and pride greater than those of the Dragon kind. They only allowed one phoenix to live under one sky because if not, they will kill their own kind and absorbed their flesh. As noble and proud as the Phoenix, I don't think they will allow to share with a dragon on one body.
"Hmm...now that's a problem.........well, you can't make a future without a risk~ This is also a good gamble, why not bet? We wouldn't know if we wouldn't try. As long as the possibility isn't zero then there is hope~ right?"
Steeling my resolve, I withdraw Regress corpse from my [ Spatial Ring ] and laid it on the ground. Although this can be said as desecrating her corpse, however she is the one who said I need to do this.
Honoring a woman's last wish is what a real man should do......right?
Although her body is very huge, the room; even though it's quite small, there are no furniture's or things that took up some spaces aside from the altar so her huge body just fit quite nicely.
Her rough draconic face expressed a soft expression such as satisfaction or relief.
Softly caressing her rough face as if it was a treasure, a mysterious yet complicated feelings welled up in my heart.
"...Rest assured, old friend. I may not be the most outstanding and upright person. I maybe a liar and a greedy, hedonistic yet handsome--ugh, oh well ... young man. However, the promise I gave you, I will surely honor them even if it means my life, so you can rest in peace..."
Although I can't consider myself as a sentimental person, seeing this poor mother I can't help but think Mother Superior who took care of me despite me not being blood related.
'Ah, is this what a mother should be?' is what I thought.
Thinking like this, I am now starting to miss the orphanage as well as my newly found family here in these world.
Taking a deep breath, I took out a silver dagger in my [ Spatial Ring ] and thrust it in her chest. Although it was pretty gruesome, I persevere as I look for her heart.
A few minutes later, I finally found it. A heart with the size of a human adult.
"She said I just have to eat it, right? She didn't told me to swallow it whole or eat it in raw....so is it right to cook it first?"
Forget about eating it raw, even if I can stretch my throat till it broke I wouldn't be able to swallow it whole. Even though I'm not a picky eater and sometime I eat raw food, eating this gore looking meat in raw is a little bit overboard.
"Arche, There would be no percussion if I first cook it before eating it, right?"
Answer:..........Probably.
"EH? You mean you don't know? How could this be?"
Answer: Master, I would be grateful if you wouldn't underestimate me. I am the soul protecting the library not the overall knowledge within it. Although I can view some of its contents, however your current level is still not enough to view some of the restricted sections.
"I, I see...sorry"
Answer: Apology accepted. Although I can't be so sure, within my current access capability, there are some records saying some succeeded and some did not. But by drinking the blood, one can double the chances of succeeding.
"Oh! Really? Thanks Arche, as expected of my partner~...then let's start shall we?"
