By the time Noland Lee had retracted the "Sword of Silence" from the pipeline, a crack emitting soul energy came into view.
The gray soul energy gushed out from the crack like a stream, dispersing throughout the network of pipes.
Noland outlined a spell blueprint in his mind and cast "Soul Absorption."
The surrounding gray energy was drawn invisibly towards him.
Suddenly, a gray energy cyclone appeared around Noland, with him at the eye of the cyclone.
The System sent a prompt, indicating that his soul energy reserves were rising rapidly at a rate of 100 points per minute.
Noland's "Soul Absorption" was only 20% complete.
For every 100 points absorbed, 400 points would dissipate...
But that was not the point, as the wasted energy belonged to the Undead Cult; Noland wasn't bothered.
He looked towards the pipe network nexus outside the High Platform.
The nexus's energy monitoring device was a bone hand clutching a black heart.
