Chapter 9: The Eve of Dawn

In the corridor, the two of them teased each other as they walked, until they relented a little in front of a delicate mechanical door. Hart Dees coughed a few more times and returned to his usual seriousness, resting his hand lightly on the sensing device beside him. With the sound of "squeak" machinery, the door slowly opened, and a majestic voice came out: "I told you to come to the Supreme Decision-making Department as soon as you come back, why are you only here now?" Hart Dees froze, saw the familiar and expressionless face, lowered his head and whispered, "Sorry master, we have just arrived. ”

The Supreme Decision-making Department is very spacious, with only a long table and three swivel chairs, but this is obviously only a superficial phenomenon, and the scientific and technological content contained in it has not yet been fully revealed. The old man with a serious face in the middle seat is the master of the two, Bright, as the head of the three generals of absolute technology, seriousness is his usual style, the majesty of the king, not angry and arrogant, presumably Hart Dees is also influenced by it. The position next to it should be reserved for the other two generals, Flame and Talent. These two people are not present at the moment, they should have something important to do.

After a moment of silence, Briette spoke, "Agnes should have made it clear to you on the way. Although you didn't capture the rare spirit this time, you did capture a very threatening soul rebel. We, the Supreme Decision-Making Department, have decided to award you the rank of lieutenant general. The commendation ceremony will be held in two days' time. ”

Bruiette noticed that Hart Dees's face was a little ugly, coughed lightly, and said with a slight smile: "I knew that these empty ranks were not attractive to you kid, well, this is your reward for this operation." ”

He tossed over a finely crafted box, from which a blue glow shone out, and Hart Dees took it, examining it carefully:

"What is this?"

"The power you've ever dreamed of..."

Hart opened the box in disbelief, staring incredulously at the fantastical light in the box. After a while, he looked at Briet and said with some suspicion: "This, is this the war spirit?"

"That's right, this war spirit is a rare thing. It was only with our absolute science and technology that we took office as marshals and worked hard to get it. Because you're my disciple, even if I give this thing to you, those two guys won't say anything. ”

Hart Dees smiled slightly, but said, "I don't need this, master. Strength or something, you can get it by means of technology and your own training, I don't want to be the same as the target we are hunting..."

Agnes on the side, frowned, I don't know if it was because of Hart's strange approach, or because Hart was awarded a rare war soul and had a little emotion, you know, there are only a few people with war soul ability at the level of lieutenant general, although it is said that the generals are all war soul ability, but after all, there are only three, and the number is limited. Hart is at least a general, although he can already be said to be a brigadier lieutenant general, but such a rich reward will be more or less dissatisfied.

This naturally could not escape Brieat's observation, and he immediately said to Agnes: "Agnes's rescue this time is very timely, and it has also helped Hart a lot. Let's go to the Battle Spirit Collection Library and choose one you like. ”

"Really?!" Agnes jumped up with some surprise. But it didn't take long for her to relent, and Hart's disdainful eyes next to her saw that her cheeks were slightly red. She coughed dryly a few times, pretending to be calm and changed the topic: "Anyway, as capable hunters, why would we, as capable hunters, use the power of the battle spirit. Aren't we doing this to eliminate those superpowers that harm others? Now they're just like them, so why do we have any more reason to hunt them..."

Briet said slowly: "With the help of evil, to destroy evil, I don't think this is evil... As for Agnes, I've already informed the personnel of the Battle Spirit Collection Vault just now, so you can go yourself. ”

After hearing this, Agnes thanked her master and retreated first, and as soon as she went out, she changed her previous restraints, and went to the collection library excitedly while dancing a spicy dance.

The War Soul Collection Library collects the War Soul extracted from the captured abilities of Absolute Technology over the years. Some abilities are known, and some are discovered and extracted by them before they have time to use them, and those who are forced to extract the ability of war soul often lose consciousness or even die because their souls are severely damaged. Of course, there are many of them who survived, and Absolute Technology is still very merciful to these survivors, but it erases their memories as War Spirit Abilities, and then they can be released back to the outside world.

"Soul of Jumping, Soul of Doubling...••What kind of useless war spirit are these..." At this moment, Agnes was walking through the collection library, among the many floating spherical glowing containers. War spirits are indeed rare, but there is no shortage of war spirits that are not very useful, so after reading many in a row, Agnes did not make a choice.

"Looks like we'll have to try our luck with the unnamed war spirits," Agnes said helplessly.

The number of war spirits stored in the Anonymous Zone was significantly smaller, but Agnes did not give up hope. Suddenly, a black war spirit entered her sight, different from other war spirits, the container where this war spirit was stored was covered with many cracks, and the outside was also entangled by many laser chains, black, mist-like objects scattered in the container, revealing a little weird...

"This must be a powerful fellow...," Agnes sighed, noticing the crack in the container, "OK!

As soon as Agnes' hand touched the container, the black mist shook violently like an electric shock. Immediately afterward, a powerful energy fluctuation spread, and the entire container shook violently due to this energy. The shaking didn't last long, for in a moment the container shattered, and the black mist flew to the roof as if it were conscious, dancing incessantly, as if celebrating his freedom.

Agnes was stunned, she hadn't activated the device to open the container, and this war spirit actually broke the container and ran out with her own ability...

But the consternation was soon replaced by the fear that followed, for she saw the band of war spirits flying towards her...

•••

In a dilapidated room in Keldor City...

Two glowing figures sat facing each other, their eyes closed and their hands resting lightly on their knees, one of them emitting a scorching orange light, while the other was cold and awe-inspiring, revealing a faint blue light. Suddenly, two rays of light spread out and gradually dissolved into the air. The closed eyes of the two also opened together, and the orange glow of the other said to the other:

"Frieze, I didn't expect your refining speed to be so fast... It seems that this ice attribute soul crystal is very suitable for you..."

"It's nothing," Frieze also smiled, "I'm born with a cold system, so it's not difficult to refine ice attribute soul crystals." But Lore, where have you reached now?"

"Soul Resistor••Third Order. What about you?"

"Soul Master: Fourth Order. The soul crystal of the old man of Cold Shadow is really magical, it actually allowed me to break through four levels in a row, no matter how much I trained before, I could only barely reach the peak stage of the soul controller..."

"Huh?" Lore was a little puzzled, "Are you also a soul powerer?

When Frieze heard this, he laughed and looked at Lore with a little cry and said, "You really don't know anything about swordsmen..."

Immediately afterwards, Frieze explained: The so-called sword qi is not real in the real world. But with some means, it is still possible to create something similar to sword qi. The first method is to rely on technology, such as the laser sword often used by Absolute Technology, which can create a shockwave similar to sword qi by enhancing energy output. The second method is through soul blades or battle spirits, or some special famous knives, famous blades, and even divine weapons, which themselves contain a lot of energy. It itself creates sword-like objects according to the wielder's wishes. The first two are means of using sword qi quickly, while the third is different. Swordsmen forged through this method can release powerful sword qi in their hands without the help of any famous sword, even an iron rod, and this sword qi will be further strengthened with the improvement of the user's own ability. The disadvantage is that it is difficult to learn quickly, and it requires extremely rigorous training to learn...

"Then this means of obtaining sword qi is..."

"The tempering of soul power••••Ordinary swordsmen naturally do not have laser swords and soul blades, and it is almost impossible to take the path of obtaining sword qi and becoming stronger. But soul power people are different, they can flexibly manipulate soul power, by condensing soul power on the weapon, and then quickly release the method, they will also obtain sword qi comparable to the first two. But it takes a long time to practice..."

"That Frieze you are..."

"Soul Blade and Soul Power Lore, do you want to be called a swordsman? The sword qi created by the battle spirit is not small. Frieze suggested.

"Forget it. Lore shook his head, "Rather than slashing people with a knife, I still think it's better for me to beat people directly." ”

"Cut, you guy, doesn't feel like your style. Frieze could only smile helplessly.

"Hehe, instead of lamenting fate in the dark, it is better to fight for the light with your fists. Lore said to himself, "Absolute Technology, you owe me, I must get it back!"

The night came, urging the end of another day, Keldo, Absolute Technology Headquarters, Green•••People gradually fell asleep, except for one person•••

She was dressed in black, and even though the night was hazy, she could still vaguely recognize the slender and charming outline. The moonlight swept inadvertently, and on top of the proud twin peaks, was a face full of smiles, which looked particularly strange and terrifying in this dark night. Long hair•••• fluttering in the breeze••• The color was extremely incongruous black, terrifyingly black, so black that it made people tremble... Finally, from her lightly opened lips, a moving but terrifying voice came out...

"The show is about to begin..."
