Monster Lord: The Goblin Offers the Saintess to Me at the Start-Chapter 34: The Extraordinary Soul, Exclusive Skills
Chapter 34 - 34: The Extraordinary Soul, Exclusive Skills
But...
Sivis was still a little confused.
According to the records in the game, before the Blood Cataclysm occurred, the Blood Clan had always been very careful, staying hidden and never acting impulsively!
So what exactly happened??
What made them act ahead of time?
It was precisely because the Blood Clan wasn't supposed to appear at this time that Sivis hadn't been on guard for their presence.
He sensed the constant danger warnings coming from the slave contract. This special contract developed by the church seemed to keep warning him, the owner of the slave—
Run away! The Blood Clan has already arrived!
Behind them is the will of the God of the Blood Sea. This is not something ordinary mortals or even extraordinary beings can resist. It is the evil power of the Evil God's followers at work.
Run! Escape quickly!
But Sivis ran straight toward his family!

When he learned that Reina had been infected by a Bronze-level Blood Servant, he thought the situation was manageable.
The appearance of a Blood Servant didn't necessarily mean that the Blood Clan itself would take action. Once they showed up, the church would go into a frenzy and pursue them relentlessly!
After calming down, Sivis confirmed that the Blood Cataclysm had not fully erupted yet, or else Minnet City would have already turned into a hellish inferno!
In other words, the situation before him was most likely just a small-scale disturbance by the Blood Clan.
According to the setting in Gandanyir, the Blood Clan had not personally acted for a whole 20 years before the Blood Cataclysm broke out.
They too feared that their plans would be exposed prematurely and lead to their destruction.
"Which means, all I have to deal with is just a bunch of ordinary people. That shouldn't be too hard."
Sivis analyzed.
He had no intention of reporting to the church.
Blood Servants had appeared from time to time across the continent, and every time the church discovered them, they would gather forces for a violent purge and hunt.
But they didn't act immediately.
The church's stationed forces in each city were not as strong as they once were. The members of the church were no longer the self-sacrificing saints from the time when the forces of good and evil had stood in opposition.
Without the overwhelming strength to crush them, they would not pursue a Blood Servant infected with such a potent contagion.
To delay the plague of blood, pure holy light was needed.
This power either required extraordinary talent, or it had to be gathered through clever means by becoming someone morally perfect in the church's teachings, under the blessing of a True God.
Neither of these options was achievable by the current practitioners within the church.
Sivis could only rely on himself and fight with everything he had.
But after finishing his analysis.
A trace of unease appeared on his face.
Theoretically, Sivis' Holy Swordsmanship has a huge counter-effect on the Blood Servants. Even when facing a Silver-tier Blood Clan member, Sivis would still have the ability to fight back!
Holy Swordsmanship, when used against the Blood Clan, unleashes overwhelming power.
The problem, however, is that the Blood Servants can rapidly infect all nearby living beings, and by now, they must have accumulated quite a number.
Even though Sivis could exchange soul points for potions to restore his magic, there is still the risk of being infected by the Blood Servants' swarm tactics.
The upcoming battle is extremely risky.
While the Blood Servants can be easily slaughtered, Sivis cannot afford to make a single mistake.
"It's a pity. If only I were a bit stronger."
Sivis couldn't help but think as he opened his system panel and navigated to the Class section, where there was a subpage—Exclusive Skills.
When he clicked it, a dense array of skill trees appeared before him. Each skill was sealed with chains, and the unlocking conditions were clearly listed: Requires an Extraordinary Soul.
In Gandanyir, each class has its own exclusive skills, and the way to unlock them is by killing extraordinary beings above the Silver-tier to obtain an Extraordinary Soul.
The first extraordinary skill for every class is unlocked as a newbie benefit, requiring only one Extraordinary Soul.
Players get one Extraordinary Soul after completing the newbie tutorial, which they can use to unlock their first extraordinary skill.
Subsequent skills require progressively more Extraordinary Souls: 30, 50, 80, and 120, with the number continually increasing.
But in reality, there is no such benefit.
Sivis must kill a Silver-tier strong opponent to unlock his exclusive skill.
The one he was most eager for was the Monster Lord's exclusive skill—Summon Guardians.
The effect of this skill is that it can summon the soldiers from his monster domain to his side, up to a maximum of 100 units, and grant them a strengthening buff.
For units above the extraordinary realm, it increases their attributes by 15% and lasts for a day. For monsters below the extraordinary realm, it temporarily boosts their power to their potential limit and allows them to break through one more level.
Theoretically, Monster Lord could recruit a group of units with a potential level of Bronze-tier 10 early in the game. Using Summon Guardians, these units could be instantly upgraded to Silver-tier 1, gaining a batch of extraordinary units in the process!
"If I had this exclusive skill," Sivis thought.
"I could just steamroll everything."
A trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
If only he had become a Monster Lord a few years earlier, things would have gone so much more smoothly!
Now, with constant crises plaguing the world of Gandanyir, there was no time to slowly develop.
"The fastest way to get an Extraordinary Soul now is to find the Blood Clan behind these Blood Servants and use the countermeasure of the Holy Sword to slay them."
"A Blood Servant turned into a vampire through a Bronze-tier sword should have at most Silver-tier strength."
"But how can I find the Blood Clan behind these Blood Servants if I don't deal with them first?"
Sivis thought, feeling frustrated.
His greatest challenge right now is obtaining an Extraordinary Soul, and only by solving this problem will he have a chance to proceed.
It was like the classic scenario in his past life's online game—
If your dungeon gear isn't fully complete (you haven't gotten all the items), which team is going to let you join them for a dungeon run?
However... Sivis still took some extra precautions.
[Blood Hunt]
[Exchange Price: 50 Points]
[Effect: After using this potion, your attacks will place a mark on the Blood Clan that will last for three months. When they exit their hidden state, you can instantly track their location. If they are too far away, tracking will not be possible.]
He silently added this item from the shop to his collection.
If he truly managed to catch a trace of a Silver-tier Blood Clan member this time, Sivis felt that he would most likely need this item.
In addition to the various characteristics already mentioned, the Blood Clan also possesses incredibly strong escape and concealment abilities.
However, their bodies are relatively fragile, and they are restrained by Holy Swordsmanship, making them the best channel for Sivis to obtain an Extraordinary Soul before breaking through to Silver-tier himself.
With this tracking item, Sivis could ensure that, even if the first confrontation didn't completely annihilate the Blood Clan, he would still have a chance for a follow-up strike...
...
While lost in thought, Sivis was gradually getting closer to his family's residence.
He let out a sigh of relief. The Daister family's area was faintly filled with an eerie atmosphere. Some of the residents on the surrounding streets were looking toward that direction with worried expressions, and many were packing up their belongings, preparing to flee.
These residents had clearly not been infected.
"Blood Servants really haven't been spreading the infection recklessly."
Sivis thought to himself, feeling somewhat reassured.
But then...
"Young Master Sivis!"
A surprised shout came from nearby.
A slightly plump woman, carrying a bundle of bags, looked at him with joy. "Isn't that Young Master Sivis? You're back!"
Next to her, her husband was carrying a hoe, with several small packages in hand, tugging at a few children, his face also full of surprise. "Young Master, you need to leave quickly. Something seems to have happened to your family. The situation doesn't look right!"
"We were just about to flee. The Old John family and the Lepon family have already left."
The citizens' eyes were filled with fear.
They didn't know what had happened, but they had sensed a wave of death coming from the Daister family's area!
That was the kind of terror the Blood Clan had left deep in the bloodlines of humans in the world of Gandanyir.
Sivis could see it. When the citizens noticed his return, they showed smiles, but they were trembling with fear.
He nodded slightly, then continued walking forward. "I have urgent business to attend to at home."
Sivis could only decline the good intentions of these common folk.
Previously, when he was in business, he mainly sold products like soap and glass, improving the craftsmanship based on his memories from his past life. He employed a number of people.
Sivis followed a brutal twelve-hour work schedule and made a high profit.
What he hadn't expected was that his actions would seem incredibly shameless by the standards of his past life. In his old world, he probably would've been assassinated by a guild hitman.
But because Sivis had genuinely paid fair wages, the common folk around his family, who had entered his small workshop, were extremely grateful to him. They felt a deep sense of appreciation.
