Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 616 - 542: Authority of the Soul_2

Fulfill the obligation of soul creation; as you fulfill more obligations, you will be able to comprehend the authority of the soul more quickly and deeply.)

This gemstone, compared to Kane's creation, is more closely related to the death of the Black Monarch.

Just like death, mastering a part of the authority of death also requires fulfilling an obligation related to death, becoming a part of the world's operation.

But Kreya previously held a fragment of death and said that all the souls of living beings and intelligent creatures that die in this world now flood into the place where the Golden Bridge is located, get devoured by the Golden Bridge, and are used to sustain itself and this world.

In other words, this so-called soul creation might be even more miserable compared to the idleness at the Soul Return Place.

After all, the rules that the authority of death fulfills only make death more normal and regular. The behavior of the Golden Bridge devouring souls only prevents souls from going to the Soul Return Place after death and instead directly to where the Golden Bridge is located.

This merely reduces the busiest part of the obligations death has to fulfill, which can't be considered entirely a bad thing, though it can't be considered good either.

But this soul creation seems like competing for business with the Golden Bridge, with the biggest boss of the dungeon.

It's entirely like pulling a tiger's tooth.

This might explain why the strength of the Grey Monarch is weak; maybe she has never fulfilled an obligation, not because she doesn't want to, but because she can't.

If you can't fulfill the obligations, the speed and depth at which you master the authority naturally lag behind your siblings.

Kane looked at the green gemstone in his hand, thought for a moment, and said to Liru: "Liru, did you resonate when you held this gemstone?"

The so-called resonance is when the authority contained within the gemstone is very compatible with the possessor.

It's like when Kane acquired the staff head, the moment he got it, he could feel the enhancement of his origin skills.

When Kreya held the Black Stone, it was the same; she could clearly feel the enhancement in her power.

Facing Kane's question, Liru shook her head: "I didn't feel much enhancement. I just felt that holding this thing seemed to make my understanding of the soul clearer."

"Hmm…" Liru thought for a moment, seemingly thinking of something, and said: "It feels a bit like the enhanced feeling of the Soul Awakening Technique."

In other words, this authority doesn't adapt to Liru's power like it did for Kane and others.

The only thing that might adapt to Liru is her Soul Awakening Technique.

Looking at the description on the fragment, it indeed has something in common with the Soul Awakening Technique.

Reflecting on Liru's experience, perhaps this is the normal experience for ordinary people who possess these staff fragments.

The situation with Kreya and Kane is due to their abilities being too similar to the abilities brought by this authority, so the enhancement is so obvious.

It also allowed Kane and them to master the authority faster.

Thinking this way, the previous surprise of the Black Monarch is understandable. Perhaps they spent an unknown amount of time on these fragments to better use them.

Which means that this fragment now shows its original true value.

Allowing the possessor to control some authority of this dungeon, and to manipulate souls within the dungeon to a limited extent.

As the intelligence said, when Kane and them ascend to gold, they can use this fragment to comprehend the rules regarding the soul.

Other than that, there is no other use.

Thinking this way, Kreya and Kane inadvertently enjoyed an extra function, strengthening their abilities.

And it just happened to enhance the most critical means of response for both of them.

The problem is that in their team now, no one has mastered any skills or techniques related to the soul. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

After thinking it over, only Liru's Soul Awakening Technique might have a bit of relevance.

Kane looked at Liru and said, "Tell me the whole process of your battle with the Grey Monarch."

Kane wanted to know some information from the battle between the Grey Monarch and Liru to see if there was anything missing.

"No problem, let me tell you all about Liru's brave deeds." Liru answered excitedly and then began to narrate to everyone the entire process after she left that space and encountered the Grey Monarch.

After Liru finished recounting the battle, Kane could only say that the Grey Monarch was indeed somewhat weak, but meeting Liru could only be called bad luck for her.

If she had encountered someone like Kane and others, she might have held out longer. Although she couldn't escape the fate of death afterward, at least she could have died more honorably.

The Ghost Constitution that ignores magic and physical damage was directly broken by Liru's magic mastery.

Kane and the others always knew that although Liru seemed to be doing nothing all day, her mastery of magic was extraordinarily high.

It's just that she learns too fast.

Thinking for a moment, Kane handed the fragment back to Liru.

Liru took it, puzzled, and looked at Kane: "What do you want Liru to do with this? Aren't these fragments supposed to be combined?"

"First, try using your Soul Awakening Technique to see if you can make your Fairy Tale World better. After all, you're essentially creating a world now, aren't you? Such rules are surely useful; using them more and comprehending them won't hurt."

"Moreover, the Grey Monarch's territory is now empty; you are likely still within the Grey Monarch's territory. You can use this authority to take over the Grey Monarch's land. You may gain a lot by fulfilling the obligations of the authority."

Kane finally said: "Fulfilling the obligation brought by the authority is the rule of the world operation. Even if there is no reward, it is certainly a rewarding experience."

Moreover, this thing was obtained solely by Liru; as it stands now, indeed only she can slightly put this authority to use.

If there was someone in their team more suitable, Kane would hand the fragment to them without hesitation.

Then Meizike said, "The ones surrounding the Grey Monarch's territory are all alien races. If Liru can regain control of the Grey Monarch's territory, I can reconcile them with you, perhaps even persuade them to submit to our force."

Thinking of the Grey Monarch's border issues, Meizike spoke.

The Grey Monarch's territory doesn't border any other monarch's territory and has been constantly at war with other alien races.

Hearing Meizike's words, Kane nodded.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they discussed some actions for later.

Now that three monarchs have died at their hands, some plans need to change.
