Chapter 172: Upgrading Subspace to Mystical Land!

[Blessing of Luck: You might encounter treasure while taking a stroll in the park, get two times the drop from monsters, and much more while the blessing of luck is in effect. The Effect lasts for an unknown time. It won't disappear until the fairy dies.]

[Blessing of protection: The chances of you dying have decreased considerably. A mysterious force might change the trajectory of the weapon of your enemy by an amount considerable enough to not kill you at the last moment, making it so that their weapons would miss their chance of taking your life by a few inches.

Chance: 3/3.

The blessings of the fairy not only would they increase his chance of getting treasure but also save his life at the right time.

Vincent smiled, thinking that the effort he put in the last few trials hasn't gone to waste. Thanks to his efforts, the fairy who has been conspiring against them, doing her best to throw them out because she thought they weren't worthy of her master's treasures, had changed her mind for the better, hoping that Vincent would complete the last trial and impress her master's will. That's the only for her master's last will to move on and for her master to rest in peace for good.

"Thanks! I will do my best to impress the will of the ironclad lady," Vincent said, expressing his gratitude to her while thinking that all along, this fairy was a good person in the disguise of a cheeky devil.

"Hmph! What are you thinking! I'm a fairy, not a devil!" While saying those words, she turned around, looking away from Vincent with puffed-up cheeks.

Hearing her words, Vincent felt so surprised that his eyes opened wide and his mouth gaped while he stared at her back.

"You can read minds?!" He asked without thinking.

"Hmph! I'm a fairy for a reason." She said, confirming his guess before vanishing in a puff of purple smoke.

Vincent rubbed the back of his head, telling himself that he must not think bad about others or anything that would give away the importance and value thing around his neck when in the presence of fairies as they can read minds.

Looking at the hourglass, he saw that only fifteen were left before the next wave of monsters starts.

"I should get the life cores first," Vincent said in his mind before he hurried to pick up the cores scattered here, there, and all across the floor.

He consumed them while collecting them.

[You've consumed more than a few hundred life cores]

[You've gained 8800 experience points]

[There's a lot of life force in the owner's surroundings. Would you like to absorb it to gain extra experience points?]

Many life cores got destroyed during the battle, and the life force that escaped from them had permeated the environment. Normally, when living beings die, their body releases life force at a slow rate. The planet absorbs this life force to nourish itself. If not the planet, then space absorbs it to strengthen itself, making it harder for extremely powerful beings to rip open spatial rifts or for highly advanced technology to generate portals.

"Yes." Once that word left his mouth, the heirloom of his family released a mysterious suction force that went under the radar of the fairy and the people in the hall.

[You've absorbed a lot of life force.]

[Your experience points has increased significantly]

After that, he took out the life force of the four giant skeleton warriors from his subspace with a single thought and also converted them into experience points.

[Your experience bar has surged by another 21500 points.]

[Experience points: 38000]

Vincent first used ten thousand experience points to upgrade his subspace.

[-10000 experience points.]

[Remaining Experience points: 28000]

[Your subspace has reached level two]

[The land has gained vitality]

[It has become a cultivatable mystical land. You can sow seeds in it, and a magic herb will grow out as long as you give it some time and feed it a little bit of life force.]

[The mystical land is no longer airless. It now has oxygen. You can live and breathe in there as long as you like.]

A few notifications popped in his mind, reading which caused him to become curious, and he went inside the subspace to experience the change it has undergone.

He looked around and noticed that darkness still surrounded the island. However, the island itself was no longer dry and patch. Instead, there was a golden pond in the middle of it. He used appraisal on it and found out that it was the liquified version of purified life force.

The pond was the main source of energy for the island. The veins of the pond stretched far underneath and all across the island, nourishing the land with life force, causing it to become inhabitable by living beings.

He could also use the water from the pond to help magic herbs grow faster as well as increase their medicinal effects!

However, if the pond runs dry, then the island would lose its vitality, and the subspace would also degrade down to level 1. Thus, he would lose all the perks he gained from leveling up the subspace, meaning he would waste his investment worth ten thousand units of life force.

"If I use this land to grow magic herbs, then it would consume life force. But the magic herb produced would be far better than the ones found in markets. The only thing is that I need to regularly refill the pond with life force if I am going to grow magic herbs in this place. Well, nothing comes for free. It's pretty fair for me, too." Vincent decided to use the land to grow magic herbs, but only after he returns to a secure place.

For now, he was running against time and needed to do the second most important thing immediately.

He hurried to refill the blood in his second heart by drinking blood from the nearby tubs.
