GREED: ALL FOR WHAT?

Chapter 2352: Divine Ability Barrage.

Legion had used the Sever divine ability on the blood limb, so it was able to easily pierce the incredible defense of the psychic shrieker.

This success didn’t come for free. It cost them some spiritual energy to do so, but they are not lacking in spiritual energy.

The blood limb entered the body of the psychic shrieker and began cutting it up from within while simultaneously consuming its blood to grow stronger.

Legion used the Bleed divine ability too so that the blood of the psychic shrieker would flow easily. This allowed the blood limb to engorge itself easily.

The blood limb was like a blood leech. It sucked and sucked while growing bigger and stronger. All the damage it was causing to the psychic shrieker’s body also affected their mental battle.

The psychic shrieker could ignore the pain, but it required mental focus in order to do so. It dearly needed its mental focus for the mental battle, so the extra stress was causing it to falter.

There was also the fact that the blood limb was draining its life energy and destroying its internal organs. This caused a deficit in its body that it now required to make up for with its spiritual energy.

Just like its mental focus, its spiritual energy is also a limited resource that is currently in high demand. Even if it could shoulder through the pain, the lack of spiritual would be the end for it.

Seeing the psychic shrieker being difficult to deal with, Legion decided to add another factor into the situation to push it over the edge as soon as possible.

They activated the rank 5 Divine ability of the pathway of slavery called Whip. A mental whip appeared from their minds and stood above the head of the psychic shrieker. Then it fell on its head.

The mental whip actually fell on the mind of the psychic shrieker, not its physical body. The attack was mostly harmless because of the shield protecting its mind. But the attack still caused it a lot of pain, which caused its focus to falter.

The psychic shrieker realized that it couldn’t attack while defending anymore, so it chose to give up on attacking and focus on defending. It put all of its efforts into defending its mind, but this wouldn’t be nearly enough to protect it.

Thanks to the psychic shrieker giving up on attacking, Legion could now focus on attacking it. This didn’t help them much because they could already do many things at the same time without much effort.

But the change in the situation meant that they didn’t need to spend spiritual energy on defending anymore. This was food, but it would have been better if they were lacking in spiritual energy.

Still, they decided to take advantage of the change to their benefit. They did this by splurging on attacks. They increased the size of the mental attacks and caused them to explode, thereby wasting all of the spiritual energy used to create the attack.

It was more efficient to create a small mental attack and chase it to explode. This was far better than creating a single large explosion because most of the power from a large explosion will be wasted.

Both small and big explosions will have the same force because they are from the same spirit. The main difference between them would be the area of impact that they would have.

For an explosion to be effective, it had to have contact with the shield. Bigger explosions would have bigger areas, so they would affect a shield more.

But bigger explosions would also waste more energy because they would have more explosive power that didn’t make contact with the shield. This is why smaller explosions

However, Legion didn’t care about that now. They went all out and were determined to crack the mental shield of the psychic shrieker at all costs.

Their aggressive actions also forced the psychic shrieker to use more inefficient methods to defend itself, such as creating multiple layers in its shield to dampen the effects of the bigger explosions.

It had to do this, or its shield would crack quickly. But by using this inefficient means, it was losing spiritual energy faster than before and approaching its end sooner than expected.

When its end was about to arrive and it realized that it couldn’t save itself, it decided to use the Psychic Shrieker attack. This attack was a suicide attack.

The psychic shrieker attack was done by putting all of its mental power and resources into a suicide attack. The psychic shrieker then launched its entire mind at Legion in one single desperate attack.

Legion received the attack and settled down to digest it. They were digesting the process by which the psychic shrieker created its final attack while the divine flesh in their bodies was absorbing the last remnants of the mind of the psychic shrieker.

When both of them and their divine flesh were done eating the mind of the psychic shrieker, they had fulfilled the advancement requirements for rank 6 of the pathway of the telepath and could advance now.

They decided not to wait and immediately absorbed the rank 6 divine flesh of the pathway of the telepath. After they advanced to rank 6 with it, they executed more steps in their plan in preparation to advance to rank 7.

One of the steps they executed was to help their slaves achieve 50% mastery in the few epic divine abilities that they have. This made all of the five divine abilities from their individual pathways reach 50% mastery now.

They did this and many other things while they purchased the rank 7 divine flesh of the pathway of the undying that they needed for their upcoming advancement.

They had previously bought the rank 7 divine flesh of killing, and they already have the high-grade artifact of Mental Domination that they stole from the nobles to solve their need of rank 7 divine flesh for the pathway of the telepath.

Now that they have bought another divine flesh, they have acquired three of the rank 7 divine flesh that they needed. As for the rank 7 divine flesh for the pathway of slavery, they are nowhere to acquire it because it is scarce.

Legendary slaves are rare and also too powerful to kill. They also rarely show themselves and have puppets who do their bidding for them.

These two reasons make the rank 7 divine flesh of this pathway difficult to acquire. At the very least, the divine flesh is not present anywhere in the Mindscape.

The rank 7 divine flesh that is available in the Mindscape is very expensive, though. It cost them 12,800 gold coins to purchase the rank 7 divine flesh. This was after haggling the price with the seller.

After they got the rank 7 divine flesh, they secured it in a box. Then they left Reinfield City to find the spring of life.

They could have kept the divine flesh in the Mindscape, but they wanted to keep it close to their physical body to prevent any accidents.
