Chapter 812 Achievement Scroll

Chapter 812 Achievement Scroll

Replacing the steady supply of criminals with 15,000,000 Ordinary Summoning Scrolls would be worth it. Michael would lose the supply of SoulStar Fragments and Soultrait Symbols, but he could do nothing about it. If the Valyr couldn't maintain their supply, he would have to find a different source to procure SoulStar Fragments.

Asking for so many Ordinary Scrolls might sound stupid to others, but Insert changed everything. The Scrolls were definitely worth it. Even with Extraction, Michael could transform 15 million Scrolls into 15 to 23 Legendary Scrolls. Even if the Legendary Summons would be the exiled Silverfangs, Michael could live with that. It wasn't like the Silverfangs were weak, after all.

'Should I start trading 1-Star Soultraits or upgraded Soultrait Symbols with Ordinary Summoning Scrolls?' Michael wondered.

He thought about discarding the idea moments after it flashed through his mind because it would attract suspicion when others found out he traded Soultrait Symbols with Ordinary Summoning Scrolls. But then again, Michael knew that everything he did was suspicious. Trying to stay lowkey wasn't going to work well either way.

At the end of the day, Soultrait Symbols and Upgrades up to 4-Star weren't expensive. To be precise, they were rather cheap. But that was only the case for him. Others would have to spend a fortune of Achievement Points to purchase a 1-Star Soultrait.

Procuring Achievement Points wasn't easy, and earning the fortune required to purchase a perfectly compatible Soultrait wasn't easy. An Awakened would have to ascend to a Higher Lifeform before attaining a wide variety of unique achievements to purchase perfectly compatible Soultrait Symbols.

[The Achievement Shop is weird. I can understand why everyone is running behind you like this. They're just helpless, and you seem like a great opportunity to grow stronger.] Danny said with a shrug.

Michael was not sure why, but his brother felt bad for Zira. He said that it was sad seeing Zira being shoved in all directions and that she was exposed to the anger and frustration of others.

Michael agreed with his brother's statement, but that didn't mean he was going to change the way he treated Zira. She was a nice girl, that much was given. However, if the young Valyr didn't want Michael's presence around her, forcing her to the knees, Zira would have to use her brain more.

She was used by the Valyr because they hoped Michael would be nicer to her. That didn't work out well. If anything, it worsened his relationship with the Valyr.

That was a shame.

'Now that you mention the Achievement Shop...that thing is really weird, yeah.' Michael said to his brother while calling upon the Achievement Scroll.

The Achievement Scroll, a simple parchment, appeared before Michael. Various letters were etched on the parchment as it unfolded, revealing some information about Michael Fang.

Michael had already checked the Achievement List and was surprised to find that there was no description of the Achievements. It would have been interesting to see what exactly he did for some actions to be considered an achievement. That way, he could recreate them on a larger scale. Unfortunately, that wasn't possible.

Michael couldn't even find out how many Achievement Points the individual achievements rewarded. All he could do was to make guesses.

"Divine Slayer should be about the Undead Pharaoh. I killed a Divine Lifeform while being a Lesser Lifeform," He thought aloud before shrugging lightly. It didn't really matter. The Achievement Shop was not yet interesting to him.

Michael turned the parchment around, resulting in the letters disappearing. New letters formed on the blank back page.

The criminal screamed, but Michael didn't care.

"I don't think I have to locate out whether you're falsely accused or not. Your actions and bloodlust are answer enough," Michael said in a whisper, infusing more energy into True Extraction.

The man screamed, but his voice grew into a whisper quickly. He writhed in pain as the SoulStar Fragments and Soultrait Symbol were ripped out of his soul by force. Michael retrieved the capsule where all Soultrait Symbols were stored and stored the Energy Armor Symbol before continuing to drain the man's War Rune storage and memories.

In a matter of seconds, the criminal died. He stopped moving and lay there quietly.

The SoulStar Fragments and the portion of the criminal's War Rune storage were transferred straight into Michae's War Rune, where he accessed everything.

'1653 SoulStar Fragments. Not too bad.'

He nodded slowly and turned to the next criminal. A single Qi Blade was enough to cut the chains restraining the criminal. This time, the man knelt down and begged Michael to spare his life.

Michael felt guilty, but only for a moment. He used Mind Reader and grasped the man's head to get as close to his head as possible.

Michael was struck by a wide variety of memories and thoughts. The memories were far from nice. In fact, Michael had only seen worse in the memories of the Kitsun Lord.

"Children...really?" Michael asked, his voice filled with disgust.

The criminal tried to move, but Michael's Qi Swords were faster. They pierced through the man's back and pushed him to the ground. His face crashed heavily into the ground, digging deep into the soil. The criminal's screams were muffled, leaving Michael in silence as he unleashed True Extraction again.

The second criminal died as well.

Michael persisted using Mind Reader to check on the criminals and their crimes for the next hour. He released the men and women from the Wood Prison and killed them one by one.

Michael ended the lives of 41 criminals that day, 38 Higher Lifeforms and three Lesser Lifeforms at the Peak of Tier-3. He earned 59,539 SoulStar Fragments and 41 Soultrait Symbols.

The gains were nice, especially since Michael didn't have to do much to earn the SoulStar Fragments and Soultrait Symbols.

However, he wasn't too excited. The memories and thoughts of the criminals had been far from pleasant.

Michael decided to make use of the Needle of the Lost Memories. He pricked himself and concentrated on the memories he wanted to forget. A strange pulling force spread through his brain, followed by emptiness.

"What performed I just forget?" Michael asked, knowing that there was something he'd wanted to forget. But...he couldn't recall what it was.

[It works? That's surprising.] Danny commented. He wasn't even trying to hide his surprise.

"Looks like it," Michael shrugged, his attention pulling to the last two men, whom the Valyr had considered criminals.

He'd used Mind Reader on them but never considered killing them. They didn't react when Michael cut them loose. In fact, neither of the duo moved. It was almost like they were waiting for their execution. As if they...looked forward to it.

"I looked through your minds, but I don't see the reason your people considered you criminals. You didn't do anything worthy of death," Michael announced. The two Valyrs swallowed hard. One of them slumped to the ground while the other grit his teeth.

"I deserve to die," The Valyr on the ground said. He sounded like he meant it.

"Your sibling betrayed you. Killing him to protect your life isn't a crime," Michael clarified, "You do not deserve to die."

He turned to the other Valyr and sighed deeply.

"Your family was killed, and your assets were taken. Everything you and your Clan achieved was taken from you. You desired revenge, and you managed to attain your goal. The Clans abandoned you for eradicating them, but I have a good feeling about you. Your mind showed me your true self. You are not a bad guy."

The Valyr persisted gritting his teeth, but Michael didn't pay too much attention to that.

"How about you stay here," Michael offered, his eyes traveling to the first Valyr, "Both of you."
