After killing the bandit boss, I received a notification that I had successfully killed the bandit boss. I checked the notification I just left earlier and how surprised I was.
When looking at the 200 Battle Exp I got from killing one Warrior, that amount was twice as much as killing a Beast of the same level.
By killing Warriors I get more Battle Exp, maybe it's a replacement because I don't get Core from killing Warriors, unlike Beasts. Not only that but I also got a new skill from killing the Warrior called Killing Intent.
This skill can make my enemies fear when they are near me? But currently, it can only affect Warrior and Beast level 1 Normal category only. Since I didn't get the Core from killing the three bandits, I also checked the bag they were carrying to see if there was a Beast Core they were carrying in the bag.
I checked the bag that the two black-haired bandits were carrying first. Sure enough, in the two bandits' bags were 3 Beast Cores and some materials from the Beasts they killed. Since I don't need the materials I just left them in the bag.
After that I searched for a Beast Core in the bag of the bandit boss, I found another 2 Beast Cores and I found a familiar scroll. I unrolled the scroll to be sure.
Sure enough, this was a skill scroll. I read the entire contents and I was very surprised because this is a skill that doesn't fall under the categories of Foundation, Attack, Movement, or Defense Skills.
I was a bit hesitant to learn this skill because this skill is used to absorb the souls of living things and makes the user's potential stronger from absorbing the souls.
After the dilemma, I also tried to learn this skill first and if this skill is too dangerous I won't use it. Right now I choose to learn 'yes'

It seems correct from what I read in the description of this skill scroll earlier. That I need a soul to increase my potential. And what is this Potential Attribute it's the first time I've heard of it. I'd better check my current status.

I didn't see any new attribute panels in my status, then I tried to see them one by one the panels in my status. After that, I realized that there is a maximum number in my current Total Attribute which was not there before.
Previously this did not exist at all. Could it be that what is meant by the potential in the explanation of the skill earlier is this? and the maximum total attribute that I can get is 221. Wait, that means if I'm at the maximum then I won't get any stronger.
"Damn!" my maximum potential is 221. If I don't learn this skill then I won't be able to become a Warrior Elite category it seems, because I think I need to reach a total attribute of 251 to become a Warrior Elite category.
I guess I can't help but have to use this skill while looking at the information in my eyes about Absorb Soul. "Okay since there happened to be three people who just died I guess I'll try to absorb their souls" then I approached the corpse of the bandit boss who was nearby and used the Skill.
'Absorb Soul'
Suddenly I could see the bandit boss' soul closing in on me, its soul brown like the Aura he used earlier. I guess Foundation Skill also affects one's soul color.
His soul entered into my body and it felt like my body was a little more relaxed and like my body was breathing. It felt very comfortable unlike what I expected it would feel terrible, this process of absorbing the Soul lasted for one minute as described in the Skill information.
As long as a minute had passed fortunately while I was absorbing the bandit's Soul I was still able to pay attention to my surroundings, And was on alert when something was about to attack me. Luckily nothing came close so I could absorb the soul quietly.
Ding.
A notification notifying me that I managed to absorb the bandit's soul also appeared and I got 1 potential point. Because the first attempt was successful, I absorbed the two souls of the other two bandits.
After 2 minutes had passed and the notification that I had gotten another potential had appeared, I immediately checked my status again to make sure. Is it true that my potential has increased or not.

My total attribute has changed from 221 to 224. Now I can continuously increase my strength without worrying about a growth limit appearing on me. I don't know if getting this skill was a stroke of luck or not.
After that, I continued my journey to hunt the next Beast and I forgot to absorb the Goat Beast that I killed before killing these bandits. I also returned to where the Goat Beast's corpse was to absorb its soul. I hope his soul can still be absorbed.
