Awakening The Only SSS-Rank Class! Now Even Dragons Obey Me Chapter 136 136: Becoming A Corrupted Beast?

Daniel sat down on the ground in a cross-legged position and tried to analyze the situation. What exactly had happened to him during this floor?

He tried to go over all the mories from the mont he entered the second floor—the mirrors, and then the illusions.

Neither the reflections of his mories in the mirrors nor the false illusions had really affected his emotions. At least not in any way that mattered.

So what had been happening to his soul all this ti? How had his soul beco corrupted?

Daniel considered many possibilities, but none of them made any real sense.

"Could it be that all of this was just a distraction?" He gave it so thought—and it actually made a lot of sense.

If seeing those mories and experiencing the illusions were just ant to distract him, then yeah, that tracks. But in that case, what had actually caused his soul to beco corrupted?

What had been the real reason all along? He didn't need to think too hard before he found the answer.

It was the air. The air on the second floor. The reason for the corruption was the presence of the corruption aura. As long as any living being was exposed to it, both body and soul would begin to rot—eventually turning into a corrupted beast.

The real purpose of the mirrors and illusions was to keep his mind away from realizing this. And it worked.

He had thought the reason his soul was corrupting was because he had to relive the darkest parts of his life.

"So what should I do now?" He looked at his soul again. The corruption was still spreading fast.

If it kept going like this, in just a few hours—or maybe even minutes—he'd fully turn into a corrupted beast.

He frowned. Nothing ca to mind. He had no way to purify corruption.

He only knew how to kill corrupted beings—not how to cleanse the corruption. He wanted to get angry, but he couldn't even feel angry anymore. His emotions were starting to fade away.

He could even feel his own sanity slipping.

He went through everything he had, anything that could maybe stop this. Mana Essence had a lot of uses, but he doubted it would work here.

Spiritual Power also seed like a good option, but even that couldn't cleanse corruption.

That left only two things: God's Blood and the Undying Soul of Dragon.

"Now that I think about it, I've never used God's Blood for anything except creating a Fallen One," Daniel muttered and turned his attention to the divine blood.

God's Blood was basically his bloodline. It flowed through every vein in his body. Based on the Mother System's description, he had assud it was only useful for making Fallen Ones.

But what if it had other uses too? He didn't have high hopes—but right now, it was the only option he had.

He tried to activate his bloodline, but… he failed. Again, he tried, and this ti he realized sothing was wrong—he couldn't seem to control his bloodline anymore.

So he gave up on moving the whole thing and instead sent just a single drop of his blood toward his soul. The drop would have to pass through his spiritual sea to reach it.

As the drop entered the sea of spirit, the sky above it turned blood-red. Not only that, but the water of the entire spiritual sea also turned crimson.

None of that really shocked him. What did surprise him was how the Death Aura—sothing that had been trying to consu his spiritual sea—suddenly panicked?

The Death Aura that had been trying to destroy him now backed off in fear, just from sensing the God's Blood.

"I didn't expect that," Daniel raised an eyebrow. But he ignored it for now and brought the blood drop closer to his soul.

Just as he'd hoped, the corruption imdiately stopped spreading. It was like it had felt sothing… and gotten scared.

Daniel poured the drop onto his soul. Normally, a physical substance shouldn't be able to interact with sothing spiritual like a soul.

But the blood was absorbed—and instantly began devouring the corruption.

Not only that, but Daniel's compatibility with the Undying Soul of Dragon also started rising.

[ Undying Soul of Dragon Completion increased by 1% ]

[ Undying Soul of Dragon Completion increased 3% ]

[ Undying Soul of Dragon Completion increased 1% ]

"I can use it like this too?" Daniel was stunned. He had spent so long wondering how to raise the completion rate—and now he'd found a thod by accident.

But now wasn't the ti. He focused back on the corruption, and when he saw that it had been completely erased, he let out a sigh of relief.

At the sa ti, he could feel all his emotions and sanity returning to him.

Suddenly, a scroll appeared in front of him:

[ You have successfully conquered the second floor of the Pagoda ]

[ You are now eligible to access the final floor ]

A door appeared in front of him.

Daniel stood up, stretched a bit, then opened the door and stepped through.

The world around him shifted, and in the next mont, he found himself standing on a staircase. Without hesitation, he climbed up and realized he had reached the final floor of the Pagoda.

"So this is the final floor, huh?" Daniel said to himself as he opened the door without hesitation and stepped in.

He found himself in a battlefield. The entire place looked like outer space—a battlefield floating among the stars.

In front of him stood a figure: a middle-aged, handso man. His eyes—just like his hair—were darker than the night sky. He wore a black robe, and his hair, which was relatively long, was tied back. He was a bit taller than Daniel.

In his hand was a simple wooden sword. He just stood there—but it was like he was the center of the universe.

"…Who the hell is this guy?" Daniel muttered. No aura was coming from him, but Daniel could feel death.

Had he ever sensed the scent of death this clearly before? He had died and killed countless tis in this life, but never had he truly sensed death.

And yet now, from this man, he could feel the stench of death so clearly.

At that mont, a scroll appeared in front of him:

[ Welco to the final floor of the Pagoda of Death ]

[ Defeat the Hero Who Rules Over Death or Die ]
