Chaos Warlord: Reincarnated in Eldrich with the Devil System!-Chapter 200 : Class Advancement!

C: The unknown's means of attack vary. Even dreaming about it can put you at risk.

D: It has the same weaknesses as Devils.

E: Just like myself, it is good at playing mind games. Only a direct confrontation will tell who's better.

Last but not least, it can't harm you in the slightest if you're in the forest of dread.

Val came to this conclusion after thorough consideration.

Alaric said his skin turned to sawdust when the Unknowm touched him. But he didn't talk about experiencing any kind of pain. He only talked about the dread he felt at seeing that it had found him. The situation was so terrifying for him that he didn't stop to consider it for a moment. It also meant that his skin turning to sawdust was an illusion, which points towards another fact.

Even in the forest, the Unknown can play mind tricks on you!

"Devil God, was the diary helpful?" Dris asked.

Val looked at Dris with a gaze that was seven parts appreciative but also contained three parts of a contrasting emotion.

"It was. You guided me to it, so I want to reward you." He signaled Dris to come closer and, like an ignorant buffoon, Dris stepped up to him.

Clearly, he was enticed by the prospect of being rewarded by a Devil God himself.

'Just how great will it be? I can't wait to find out,' he thought.

Val placed a hand on his shoulder, as he said, "In the short time we have been together, you have been a great help to me. As a result, I will reward you with a painless death."

Dris was startled by his terrifying intention, but Val didn't give him any chance to resist the inevitable, tapping Dris's head.

Dris's eyes rolled to the back of his head as his soul was punctured by Val's soul power, immediately killing him.

Like a broken doll, his body collapsed to the ground with a dull thud.

"You... what did you do to him?" an archer asked.

"Are your eyes only for decoration? Can't you see I killed him? By the way, next it's your turn," Val said as he nonchalantly flicked his fingers in the archer's direction.

Almost instantly, an arrow composed entirely of soul power shot forward, unerringly striking its target. The arrow pierced the archer's head, extinguishing his life in an instant.

"Take them by surprise. Strike them down where they stand!"

At the same time, he ordered the undead to attack the remaining members of the tribe.

He also attacked them. Each time he pointed a finger toward someone, a monster died.

"You... How can you do this to us?! You promised you will let us go if we swore allegiance to you."

A roar emerged from the crowd that was being slaughtered by Val and his minions.

Val expressionlessly retorted, "How could you be naive enough to believe the words of your enemy? Your sheer stupidity justifies your forget to taunt them, pouring an entire bag of salt over their wounds.

deaths."

As the shadow Drake variants died one after another, he didn't forget to taunt them, pouring an entire bag of salt over their wounds.

"It's a pity," Val said.

The reason it was a pity was that a monster tribe that could be communicated with was quite rare. The unique traits of the Shadow Drake Variants made them even more exceptional.

For any ruler or high-ranking noble, the idea of creating a battalion of invisible assassins from such a tribe was tantalizing.

The prospect was enough to pique the interest of even the royals.

Yet, Val had gained the allegiance of such a group. Unfortunately, he had to eliminate them, as it was the only way to complete his mission.

After dispatching them all, a series of semi-transparent system notifications appeared in his vision.

[Enemies defeated: 24 Archers of Obsidian, 24 Swordwielders of Eclipse, and 1 Chieftain of the Shadow Drake Variant Tribe.

Experience gained: 12200 EXP.

Items obtained: 48 Orbs of Darkness, and 1 Level 2 Orb of Darkness.]

Orbs of Darkness were used to construct a core of darkness in a wizard's arcane heart. As for the level 2 orb of darkness, it could be used to refine the core. As for what benefits that would bring, it wasn't written in the description of the item provided by the system. He would have to find out about it himself.

'Master, you can really act.' Voidslayer's voice rang in Val's head.

even though Val had deceitfully manipulated and subsequently annihilated an entire tribe, Voidslayer was unperturbed. The idea that Val was a malevolent maniac never entered its consciousness. In Voidslayer's perspective, Val's actions held merit. The tribe of shadow variants were the initial aggressors, and they were monsters, the arch-nemesis of humans. To Voidslayer, exterminating them was a justifiable and even essential act.

Val smirked proudly, 'I know.'

"What are you going to do next?" Voidslayer inquired telepathically.

"I want to explore the forest outside the cave a bit more before heading back home. But first, I'll work on forming my core and ascending to a mid-rank wizard," Val declared.

'You were just an acolyte a few days ago, yet you are already ready to take that big step. Your rate of advancement terrifies me... in a good way.' Voidslayer said to Val, 'Good luck, Master. I will be rooting for you. May you succeed in forming the core.'

Val began to absorb the orbs of darkness. He already knew how to survive the process and because he couldn't feel pain, it was easy.

After absorbing a total of 25 of them, he muttered, 'I have fulfilled the condition to form my core of darkness. I wonder what will happen next.'

[System Notification: Congratulations, Host! You have successfully constructed the core of Darkness in your arcane heart. Your sub-class has advanced to Shadow Wizard.]
