Boom—!
With the final point of Immortal Singularity exhausted, Harland’s body finally exploded amid the endless thunderstorm, bursting into fragnts that filled the sky.
Those fragnts burned in the lightning, broke apart, and turned to ashes, leaving not even the slightest trace behind.
[Ding! You have slain the Legendary-Grade powerhouse "Fallen Mage Harland" and gained 50 billion EXP!]
[Prompt: Your current EXP pool is full. Overflow EXP has been automatically stored.]
[Ding! "Plunderer" effect triggered! The enemy’s dropped items have been automatically transferred to your inventory!]
[Prompt: You have completed the quest "Plaguefall" (Epic-Grade)! Quest Rating: Perfect!]
[Ding! Obtained "Purification Elixir" (Epic-Grade) ×1!]
[Ding! Obtained "Judgnt Elixir" (Epic-Grade) ×1!]
[Ding! Obtained "Interdiate Divinity Fragnt" (Legendary-Grade · Special Item, Unsellable) ×1!]
A slight flicker passed through Daniel’s eyes as he listened to the system notifications.
Of the three dropped items, two were actually potions. That was rather unexpected.
Still, potions could trigger the bonus effect of the Eternal Ring and beco permanent effects, so it counted as a pleasant surprise.
As for that Divinity Fragnt, that was the real prize.
A powerhouse who had only just stepped into the threshold of Legendary-Grade had actually dropped an Interdiate Divinity Fragnt?!
By any standard, this was an enormous profit.
Divinity Fragnts were the core material used to synthesize a complete Divinity. It took one hundred fragnts to form a single complete Divinity.
And a complete Divinity was precisely the key item needed for a player’s class advancent quest after reaching Level 200.
The more Divinity consud during class advancent, and the higher its rank, the more terrifying the strength gained after advancent would be.
He put the fragnt into his inventory, then took out the two potions and sold them to the guild.
[Ding! You have successfully sold "Judgnt Elixir" and "Purification Elixir" to the Doom Guild, receiving 2 copper coins!]
[Ding! Millionfold Boost triggered. Please choose: Quantity Boost / Quality Boost!]
"Quality Boost!"
[Ding! Congratulations! You have received 2 gold coins! Congratulations! You have obtained Sacred Judgnt Elixir (Supre-Grade) and Holy Light Purification Elixir (Supre-Grade)!]
Delight stirred in Daniel’s heart as he opened the potion panel to inspect them.
[Sacred Judgnt Elixir (Legendary-Grade)]
Effect: After consumption, damage dealt to dark-aligned creatures is increased tenfold.
Duration: 12 hours
Description: When darkness shrouds the world, you shall be the light that tears it apart and passes judgnt upon evil.
Daniel’s breathing paused for the briefest mont.
Ten tis damage!
After drinking this potion, his damage output against dark-aligned creatures would soar to over fifty million.
Those dark calamities destined to descend in the future...
Those shadow creatures that would blanket the skies...
Those fiends that would devour the light...
With a tenfold damage bonus, they would no longer be invincible nightmares!
He tipped his head back and drank the potion in one gulp.
The golden liquid slid down his throat, like molten sunlight flowing through his veins.
[Prompt: You have consud "Sacred Judgnt Elixir" (Supre-Grade)!]
[Ding! Talent "Eternal Ring" triggered! The potion’s effect has been converted into a permanent effect!]
He then looked at the other potion in his hand.
[Holy Light Purification Elixir (Supre-Grade)]
Effect: After consumption, grants the continuous ability to remove all negative statuses and toxins.
Duration: 12 hours
Description: Dispel all evil, cleanse away every burden; remain pure and clear in body, forever free of curses.
The corner of Daniel’s lips lifted slightly.
Although he already had plenty of purification thods on him and could long since ignore debuffs altogether, an extra safeguard was always welco.
From this mont onward, no curse, toxin, or negative status would be able to remain on him for more than an instant.
He drank the potion down in a single swallow.
[Prompt: You have consud "Holy Light Purification Elixir" (Supre-Grade)!]
[Ding! Talent "Eternal Ring" triggered! The potion’s effect has been converted into a permanent effect!]
...
Daniel put away the potions and turned his gaze toward the place where Harland had fallen.
A few scorched scraps of cloth lay scattered across the blackened ground, with thin wisps of smoke curling upward into the night wind.
Though this fallen mage had only been at the very bottom among Legendary-Grade existences, he had still been a true Legendary-Grade powerhouse.
Daniel had no intention of reviving him, but keeping the corpse might prove useful for sothing else.
He spread the Eternal Black King and descended to the place where Harland had fallen.
But the instant he landed, a cold and sinister aura rose from the ruins.
The remaining fragnts of Harland’s corpse trembled slightly, and an aged voice erged from within them, like a murmur drifting up from an unimaginably distant abyss.
"Was it you who killed Harland?"
The voice was hoarse and low, carrying an unsettling pressure.
"You have chosen to beco an enemy of the Shadow Council... have you considered the consequences?"
Daniel frowned faintly and said coldly,
"If I’m not mistaken, you’re Harland’s ntor, aren’t you?"
"A peak Legendary-Grade powerhouse of the dark magic lineage—the one with the highest bounty on the Empire’s wanted list."
The voice in the ruins fell silent for a mont, then turned into a cold laugh.
"So what?"
"Nothing much."
Daniel spoke calmly, in a tone as though he were rely stating a fact long since set in stone.
"I just wanted to tell you that you’re going to die too. And when you do, it’ll be ugly."
He was telling the truth.
This peak powerhouse of the Shadow Council before him would, in the end, still be suppressed by humanity’s strongest.
Viewed from a higher plane, his death was only a matter of ti.
The voice fell silent for a long while.
Then a burst of deranged laughter exploded from the ruins, shaking even the scattered stones.
"Ha ha ha... sooner or later, you will understand that everything you are doing for the Empire now is utterly futile."
"The cycle of rebirth never ends—why should death be feared? When I die, it will be the day I enter the divine kingdom!"
The mont the words fell—
Boom!
Harland’s remains exploded into utter ruin in an instant, leaving behind not even a single grain of dust.
Daniel gazed at that barren patch of scorched earth, his eyes cold as frost.
He paid no heed to the wild ravings of that Shadow Council ntor.
He only knew one thing: he had to make haste in laying the groundwork for mankind’s future.
No matter what kind of disasters awaited ahead, he would fear none of them!
"Ti to go back and turn in the quest."
He murmured softly, then spread his wings and shot into the sky.
...
Luminara, Ministry of War.
A black shadow dived down from the clouds and landed steadily in the square before the Ministry of War.
When the surrounding soldiers saw who it was, they imdiately straightened their backs, placed their right fists against their chests, and looked at him with eyes full of reverence.
"Your Grace!"
Daniel nodded and strode into the great hall of the Ministry.
Kasel had already noticed his arrival. He looked Daniel up and down several tis, and only after confirming that there was not even a single wound on him did he finally let out a long breath of relief.
Daniel smiled faintly and briefly recounted what had happened with Harland and Harland’s ntor.
After hearing it all, Kasel’s eyes filled with astonishnt.
"To think that Your Grace was able to slay a Legendary-Grade powerhouse alone—truly extraordinary!"
He paused, his expression growing grave once more.
"As for the one behind the scenes... Your Grace need not worry too much. The Empire has its own ways of dealing with him."
He waved a hand broadly.
[Ding! You have submitted the quest "Plaguefall" (Epic-Grade)! Quest Rating: Perfect!]
[Obtained rewards: Immortal Singularity Fragnt (Legendary-Grade) ×1, 1 billion gold coins, 1 billion rit points, 50,000 Human rit, 100,000 Imperial Morale!]
Daniel was briefly stunned.
These rewards could only be described as top-tier.
[Immortal Singularity Fragnt] was the core material used to synthesize Immortal Singularity.
Gather one hundred of them, and they could be condensed into one point of Immortal Singularity.
And one point of Immortal Singularity ant one chance to negate death.
Moreover, Immortal Singularity could also be channeled into offensive skills, greatly increasing their power.
If he had possessed Immortal Singularity during that battle, an opponent on Harland’s level would never have lasted more than a few exchanges.
