After seeing the seventh pillar solidified, I did not waste any time and started creating the soul string through the spinning Wheel method.

I did not even look at the time, which I usually do when I finished refining to track the time of my progress, but today I had decided to look at the time after I finished creating the Strings.

I continued creating the string, and with the experience of creating the Thirteen strings, the process had gone very smoothly as I was able to create the 14th strings without any problem.

I started on the 15th and was able to create it without any problem, and not missing the beat; I started creating the 16th string, which too got done smoothly. When I finished creating the 16th string, I noticed only a few specks of soul energy had remained.

I am feeling quite good as I am able to create three strings as with the pillar worth of the Soul Power, only two soul strings could be created, I was able to create three because I already had a lot of soul energy which had short of little soul energy before the string could be crafted from it.

So, after adding a little bit of soul energy, I was able to create the third string, now I have a whole sixteen strings, and through these sixteen strings, my strength has soured even further. Now I couldn't help but want to go outside to kill some Orcs.

After the creation of the strings, I once again entered my Core Space and looked at my mana lake from which small bubbles and steam could be seen coming. If it had been before, the lake would have been bubbling by now, but now it is not as the cold moon energy inside the lake had neutralized the power of Fire energy by quite a margin.

If I had even more pure moon energy, the fire energy of Richard would have been further neutralized, and I wouldn't have as much difficulty refining it that I am going to have.

And this steam is just for today, from tomorrow, when more and more fire energy added into it, the lake with a start to bubble again with more intensity than ever and refining it will be pure torture.

I continued to look at the lake for a minute before breaking my connection with my Core Space and opening my eyes when I looked at the watch, and I found only three and a half hours had passed.

I became ecstatic, seeing that as I felt, it would take me more than four hours to finish refining my soul energy and craft the Soul strings.

With two and a half hours, I could get a comfortable sleep. It will be enough to revitalize my tired body and soul.

I fell asleep and woke up right on time; I freshened up with things I had in my dem bag before going to the stream to take a bath; this time, there was no line except for one guard.

Most people don't prefer to take a bath in the morning if they had taken it in the evening in this dangerous environment. If it were not cleaning the grimes they had accumulated with all the fighting, most people would not even take a bath as it is extremely dangerous.

An enemy just needs one good shot, and before one knows it, his head would be blown apart before one could defend. This time I did not take long bathing; in five minutes, I had washed away all sticky sweat I had accumulated during th sex last night.

When I went back to the camp, I found everybody was gathering at the center for the briefing before they would leave for the hunt. Few minutes later all the people in the camp gathered and Richard stood tall in front of everybody with a serious look on his face.

"I will be direct with you all, the intel I had just received is not good. The Orcs have released more forces in the forest that we have expected; their number is at least Six times greater than us." Richard said.

Hearing that commotion occurred in forty-some people. If their number had been two to three times larger than usual, we would be able to handle them, but six times, it is downright crushing.

"Seeing the large numbers of Orcs, the Hilnet city has also released some forces to aid us, but their number is smaller than what we need, so you guys have to up your game and kill as many as Orcs we can."

"It's either we kill the Orcs or Orcs will kill us, only one side will be able to return to their home, and I hope it will be us who will crush the forces of Orcs and return to our homes." Said Richard in a booming voice.

I have to say, Richard is quite a crowd charmer, with just a few words he had made the fighting spirit of the crowd rise again and they started to chant, 'We will crush the Orcs, and We will go home' in a loud voice.

"This war is difficult, but our Six Star alliance will win it with the help from all of us," Richard shouted again, rousing the spirit of the crow so much that if it forces of orcs with ten-times more number showed up, crowded will still pick their weapons and will charge at them courageously.

"Now Advance and Kill as many as Orcs you can!" Said Richard, finally.

"Kill Kill Kill…"

People started shouting for a while before they began to move out of the camp, I too walked out of the camp after making small talk with Richard.

Today is going to be dangerous; I have to be careful and fast, and kill as many as Orcs I can to get the maximum merit. In yesterday's fight with the dwarf, I came to know that I don't have any trump cards.

My telekinesis is my main fighting style, and the physical body is too weak to fight against the Peak Baron Orcs much less compared to the elites. So, I will have to start working on that as soon as I get the time.

I already have all the resources I need for Body Refining; I just need time to practice it.

Most elites used their Bloodline abilities as the trump cards, the fortunate thing I have two Bloodline abilities, unlike most people who only have one, but the unfortunate thing is that both of my bloodline abilities are noncombat.

I love my Bloodline abilities and wouldn't trade them for any offensive ability, it's just that I can't use them as my trump card and leaves me only one option and that is the secret techniques.

I don't know much about the secret techniques; the only thing I know that there is no specific grading system for them. The power of the Secret Technique depends on the user of it.

In the reward booklet, I saw many secret techniques offered by the Six Star Alliance, but all of them require astronomical merit points that it is hard for even Counts to gain such merit points.

Though it is near impossible for me to accumulate such amount of merit points with my current strength, I will keep trying, and in the war, fighting is not the only way to accumulate the points.

Who knows if the goddess of luck might shine on me, and I come across something which will help me gain a vast amount of Merit points in one leap.
