Chapter 47 47: Am I Tripping?

"Now let's see what good things you four, wait five monstrosities have for me."

Corey rubbed his hands in anticipation as he looked at the pile of shiny crystals and items in front of him.

He had already dissected the bodies of the four dead monsters and removed their soul stones, and also picked up the skill crystals and items that was dropped by the monsters.

As for Cakie?

Since it had already turned to liquid, it's soul stone was out in the open and he did not need to dissect Cakie.

"Which one should I absorb first?" Corey muttered as he looked at the soul stones of the five monsters.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he took the soul stone of the level 75 monster, the annoying monster that had the antique camera.

He was tempted to absorb the soul stone of Cakie or the treelike monster first since their levels were the highest but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

He remembered the games he used to play and he knew that the higher your level, the more difficult it would be to level up, and the fastest way to level up would be by killing higher leveled monsters.

Although absorbing the treelike monster and Cakie's soul stone first might give him more attributes and more levels, if he absorbed those two first, the lower leveled soul stones would not give him much attributes points.

Realizing all of this, Corey held the level 75 soul stone in his right hand.

A pop up window appeared asking if Corey wanted to absorb the soul stone.

"Absorb."

Corey gave his consent and an orange light appeared on his right hand, engulfing the soul stone, eventually turning it to dust.

The same sensation Corey felt whenever he leveled up, he felt it again. He looked at his right hand trying to understand the energy that was transferred into his body and was making him stronger.

Despite Corey's attempts, he failed to understand the energy but he was not disappointed nor disheartened by his failure.

"The energy feels like mana but at the same it does not feel like mana."

Corey rubbed his beardless chin for a few seconds before he shrugged.

He was just curious about the energy and how the Universal System could make him as strong as he was right now, he didn't really care if he could understand the energy or not.

He took the next soul stone, which was the soul stone that belonged to the level 80 monster that had six eyes and could use mental attacks.

Another pop up happened and he absorbed it. After absorbing it, he absorbed the soul stones of the level 90 giant monster and the level 95 treelike monster.

He picked up the last soul stone which was the soul stone of Cakie.

After the fight, Corey was curious about the level of Cakie and when he checked his Book Of Recorded Beings, he was confused when he saw the level of Cakie.

Cakie was a level 100 Tier 0 Mimicry Monster.

Corey was confused because from what the merchant told him, when one reached level 100, they can advance to Tier 1.

After thinking about it, Corey guessed that Cakie was level 100 but had not advanced to Tier 1.

He eventually became curious on how monsters even advanced.

Throwing his curiosity aside, Corey held the soul stone of Cakie and absorbed it.

The moment he did, Corey felt like something in him had changed.

He could not explain it properly but it was like he had broken some kind of barrier.

As the energy from the soul stone flowed through Corey, Corey felt like he was floating on clouds.

The feeling was… addictive.

Three seconds later, the feeling ended and Corey clenched his fists.

He felt way stronger than before.

He was curious about what changed so he pulled up his status window.
