"So Sasha, why don't you tell me more about Lord Greadsorn. Maybe give us some information about his current military powers." With the proper information, one could even single-handedly win a war. The appearance of a Sasha, a third-order Witch came as a blessing in disguise. With her, Isaac could many times.
Since Sasha had become Isaac's slave, she really couldn't lie to him otherwise her soul will be punished. Thinking how painful it would be when her soul is punished for lying to her master, even a third-order like her couldn't help but tremble in fear.
.
"When the apocalypse started, everyone with Greadsorn noble household bloodline except Lord Greadsorn himself had turned into a zombie. With our assistance, lord Greadsorn killed everyone a day before yesterday. This same thing happened to the soldiers as well. Although I don't know the exact number, according to lord Greadsorn about 40% to 45% of the troops had turned into zombies."
Aleesia frowned hearing Sasha still addressing her father in a formal way. Isaac also noticed the frowning expression on Aleesia's face.
.
"Sasha, I am your master now." Isaac said in a deep cold tone. Sasha seeing those cold eyes for a moment felt her heart trembling.
She understood what her mistake was. Sasha lowered her head and apologized even though everyone can still see a frustrated look on her face.
"I apologize." She was struggling with her pride.
.
Before the apocalypse, third-order existence was considered the peak of cultivation. Every legend-rank cultivator or also currently known as third-order existence had a privileged life. Every legend-rank cultivator was immensely respected and feared by enemies, and even the kings had the respect them. It wouldn't be wrong to say that as long as a cultivator managed to reach legend rank, they would be able to enjoy the life of a King.
When the apocalypse came, Sasha found herself becoming a lowly silver-rank cultivator's slave, just as her old hopes of breaking through to the legend rank had once again reignited.
Anyone in her place would be frustrated, and angry. After all, no one likes to sell their freedom.
.
"As I was saying, previously the house of Greadsorn had about 15,000 active silver-rank troops. A week before the apocalypse started, 5,000 silver-rank troops along with 2 gold-rank commanders were sent on an expedition to find Moon Giants. So it would be safe to assume that the house of Greadsorn still has over 5,000 active troops. Including Greadsorn, there are about 5 more gold-rank cultivators in his troops." It was clear that in his chaotic world, the 5,000 troops and 2 second-order cultivators were not going to return.
After a moment of silence, Isaac asked. "What about the third order?"
"Including me, there are only two third-order cultivators."
.
After Sasha ended her words, everyone had their eyes on Isaac. Despite having the lowest level among everyone, Isaac was the strongest in the whole group. Even though Aleesia wouldn't admit it, ever since Isaac defeated Xavion, he had become the leader.
"What about the situation beyond that wall?" Zeno asked while cooking the meat.
Sigh!
For a moment Sasha sighed thinking how life turned so chaotic witht that storm. She was starting to miss the world before the apocalypse. The only thing that kept Sasha motivated and alive, was her deep desire to reach higher order.
.
"Chaos. With the zombies, there are constant fights. There are rebels everywhere. Countless people have died in these 3 days. There is constant sounds of explosion everywhere. Even the Greadsorn Mansion was attacked a few times." Sasha then rested her chin on the top of her knees with her arms holding her legs.
Looking at the campfire, "The real chaos began when suddenly half of the army turned into zombies and started attacking anyone." If two third-order cultivators weren't there to help the Greadsorn house, this could have been the end of their rule.
.
Isaac didn't ask any more questions. He now had a basic understanding of the whole situation in Eastfox city.
[A person's true nature is revealed at times of the greatest adversity.] Like Isaac, the evolution system has given every person who was struggling at the bottom of society a golden chance to rise up. While powerful people like the Greadsorn family would try their best to maintain their supremacy.
A man could solve almost 99.9% of his problems with money on earth. But in this world, only the strong get to live a life of fulfillment. When life gave everyone this chance, many people were going to awaken their deep desires. Itham, the eastern slum zombie faction leader is one of the best examples of that. Itham got this chance to fulfill his deep desires.
.
'No matter how many enemies, I will have to face in the future, I won't stop moving forward till I avenge my mother and sister.' Thinking about his mother and sister, Isaac felt someone was tightly clenching his heart. The pain in his heart was killing him from the inside out. This pain is what made Isaac give up on the world and only think about himself.
What Isaac is doing is neither heroic nor the work of a villain. 'Selfish would be the best term to describe my current character.' He was doing all this only for his own benefit.
.
Lusha silently observed Isaac's eyes which had countless thoughts flashing in them. She could see that there was guilt, hesitation, anger, pain, suffering, despair, and most of all an unbreakable will, thirst for revenge.
'Don't worry, this empress will make sure to walk with you on this thorny path.'

'Currently, I only have 200 Dharma points, I don't know if I will find any 3-star skill under 200 Dharma Points.' Isaac needed something that will give him more attack power. He can't just always rely on his weapon. Although Isaac can buy a spell, he felt that chanting a spell in the middle of the battle will just take too much time. It was better to have some sort of skill that will allow him to instantly attack the opponent.

'Shadow Rush and Flare of Demon Fire!!' Curiously Isaac tapped on the name to learn more about the skill.
[Flare of Demon Fire: - A lower grade 3-star skill that uses fire and dark affinity to perform this skill. Using this skill, the host will be able to create, control, Demon Fire and also gain a certain amount of resistance to fire.]
[Shadow Rush: - A unique 3-star skill that gives the user darkness affinity. Using this skill, the user will be able to move a certain distance through the shadow.]
.
'Both skills will be very useful to me.' Without any hesitation, Isaac bought two skills.
[Ding! Congratulation to the host for learning the 3-star Passive skill Flare of Demon Fire (Level 1)]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for learning the 3-star Passive skill Shadow Rush (Level 1)]
Isaac suddenly felt some changes in his soul. It was like something extra and foreign was being integrated into his soul.
.
[Flare of Demon Fire (Level 1): - A lower grade 3-star skill that uses fire and dark affinity to perform this skill. Using this skill, the host will be able to create, control, Demon Fire and also gain a certain amount of resistance to fire. The power of this skill depends on the Host's imagination.
[Function 1]: - Every time the host activates this skill, it will consume [2+] mana per second. The mana consumption will increase with the size and temperature of the skill. At level 1, the host can raise the temperature of the Demon Fire to 1000 degrees celsius.
[Function 2]: - At current level, the host will gain 100% resistance to normal fire. 50% chances of resisting fire-type attacks from third-order existence. The resistance will keep decreasing against the higher-order opponents.
[Function 3]: - Being a 3-star skill, this skill will increase fire-type attack spells power by 10%. Fire-type weapon attack power by 20%]
.
[Shadow Rush (Level 1)]: - A unique 3-star skill that gives the user darkness affinity. Using this skill, the user will be able to move a certain distance through the shadow.
[Function 1]: - At level 1, the host will be able to move through the shadow anywhere within 100 meters radius. Every time this skill is activated, it will consume [2+] mana per second.
[Function 2]: - 50% resistance when a third-order existence is using Shadow attacks. The resistance level will keep decreasing against the higher-order opponents.]
.
Isaac couldn't help but show a smile of craziness. 'There is a reason why these two skills are 3-star skills.' Gaining 50% resistance against even a third-order existence was like getting an extra life. With these two skills, his powers have increased once again. Now Isaac has both assassin and mage-type attacks.
