As the infantry disappeared into the forest, sounds of battle could be heard. Before long, it was back to being silent.
[ Tier 0 Wolf killed. +7 Energy, +1 Magic Stone ]
[ Tier 0 Wolf killed. +8 Energy ]
-
Along with the notifications, Zaiden felt a strange energy entering his body. It made his body slightly stronger.
Feeling this, he realised that the cause must be the Energy in the notifications and the Magic Stone were the one he needs to upgrade the military structure.
He looked at Angelica and Irene and asked.
"Did you felt some strange energy entering your body and strengthening it?"
They both looked at Zaiden and nodded. It was clear that they felt it as well.
'So it means that we don't need to go out to level up. Instead the monsters killed by one's military unit will provide energy to their lord as well.'
Zaiden quickly realised this fact and sighed in relief. Al least, they won't have to go out before their strength increases.
Quickly a dozen or so minutes passed by and notifications were continuously popping up. Due to this, Zaiden and the others reached Tier 1 Level 3.
After that, the infantry returned back with the corpses of the monsters they killed. The captain of this unit came forward and reported their activity.
From him, Zaiden learnt that the nearby monsters were all at Tier 0 or 1. Only a few were Tier 2. Since they weren't a problem for the infantry, he ordered them to continue their work.
As such, the infantry again disappeared into the forest and sounds of battle could be heard. Notifications again started to pop up.
Zaiden shook his head and smiled. Instead he told Angelica and Irene to go back to the castle and rest.
The two girls nodded and went back.
Zaiden went towards a corpse of a wolf. It was a little bigger than ordinary wolf. As he looked closer, a notifications appeared.
[ Do you want to collect the corpse? ]
Zaiden agreed without hesitation after the initial surprise.
[ +10 units of meat, +1 wolf fur, +7 wolf fangs ]
In the next moment, all the gains were stored in the warehouse. Zaiden felt relieved as he didn't need to do it manually.
As doing so might not only take time, he might even ruin the process.
After collecting, the corpse of the wolf disappeared. Seeing this, Zaiden felt even more relieved.
He then began to collect all the remaining corpses.
From the 13 corpses that the infantry brought, Zaiden got 130 units of meat, 3 Magic Stones and many wolf furs and fangs.
All of them were stored in the warehouse.
As Zaiden was done with his work, Angelica and Irene rushed out of the castle. Zaiden was surprised to see them in such a hurry.
"What happened?"
"Here look at this!"
Angelica excitedly told Zaiden. In the next moment a pair of golden wings appeared on her back. At the same time her hair turned golden and her eyes turned amethyst coloured.
Zaiden was shocked to see this. Right now, Angelica looked just like an angel.
Angelica flapped her wings as she returned back to her original appearance. She then stretched out her hand and a miniature sun appeared on her finger tip.
Although the sun was only one centimetre in diameter, it was still dazzlingly bright.
With a wave of her hands, the sun disappeared. Then Angelica looked at Irene and nodded.
Seeing this, Irene waved her hands and a huge pink lotus appeared below her feet. It had a total of thirty-six petals and a throne at its centre.
As Irene sat on the throne, her appearance changed. She became much more beautiful and her ears tuned pointy.
She looked just like an elf.
Irene stretched out her hands and green ball of light appeared on her palm. Although it wasn't as dazzling as the sun, it was more beautiful and contained life force.
With a wave of her hands, Irene returned back to normal.
Zaiden looked at the two girls with a shocked expression. He waited for them to tell him what was going on.
The two girls looked at each other and smiled. Irene then spoke up with excitement.
"Right now, what we showed you were our Spirit Souls."
"Mine are the Mystic Lotus and Wood Element. While your sister have Angel Wings and Light Element."
"But you know what, after coming here, our Spirit Souls have broken through the tier nine and reached a new level."
"In other worlds, it's power couldn't be imagined."
Zaiden looked at the two girls and realised what they were about to tell. Seeing his expression, Angelica slowly nodded her head and said.
"Check your Spirit Soul."
Upon hearing her, Zaiden immediately summoned his Tier Two Spirit Soul.
Zaiden immediately showed an excited expression and made a grabbing motion with his right hand.
Then as if using a sword, he waved his right hand.
Angelica and Irene showed puzzled expression as they didn't know what he was doing. He didn't even summon his spirit soul and was waving his hands just like that.
As if to answer their confusion, a huge trench was formed in the direction where Zaiden waved his hand. Even the light barrier started to shake heavily.
But it didn't crack or showed any signs of doing so.
Seeing this and the actions made by Zaiden, the two immediately made a conclusion.
An Invisible Sword!
Without waiting for Zaiden, they went back to the castle. This spirit soul has given them a huge shock.
Although their souls were now the best, but it didn't matter if you couldn't even see your enemy's attack.
Instead, they felt that it would be better to prepare food for lunch. Of course, its just an excuse.
As Zaiden called back his spirit soul, he was surprised to see that no one was around.
He just sighed as a golden light covered his body. He thought to himself in surprise.
'I have already reached Tier 1 Level 4.'
After few minutes, the infantry returned back with many corpses. This time the number reached thirty.
Zaiden ordered the infantry to rest for a bit but they persisted that it wasn't hard at all.
When Zaiden checked their level, he was surprised to see that the captain had reached Tier 4 while the rest were at the high stages of Tier 3.
Thus, he agreed with their request and the infantry once again marched into the forest.
Zaiden quickly collected all the corpses and gained 300 units of meat, 7 Magic Stones and many more material.
