Aeon read the information about the weapons one after another and reading their effects made him even more happy

'Now, I am wondering about the gift I will be receiving in exchange for the Goblin Captain's corpse.'

Aeon silently thought in his head as he looked at the weapons lying in front of him and muttered, 'Before that, I will wear these and become a little stronger.'

Without wasting any time, Aeon wore the armour, bracers, and boots and stowed the two daggers around his waist.

'I wonder whether there is a set….'

As Aeon felt the slight increase in his stats, he wondered about the set bonus from the equipment he was wearing.

However, before Aeon could finish his thought, the Grimoire of Life and Death shook a little as the [Communication Page] opened.

[The temporary owner has worn five pieces of equipment belonging to the Goblins and unlocked a set bonus]

'So, there is a set bonus'

Looking at the row of text, Aeon was not shocked but he was excited for sure.

A set bonus is an additional enhancement or effect or skill that gets unlocked when a certain number of equipment belongs to the same kind worn by a cultivator.

The same kind that Aeon was wearing right now was the Goblin Set and thus, a set bonus was unlocked.

It was common knowledge for those who were planning to follow the path of Life Blood Cultivation and to enter the Celestial World Tree. So, Aeon knowing about it was not a big surprise.

'What kind of set bonus did I unlock?'

Aeon waited for the next set of lines on the Grimoire of Life and Death and soon, his eyes shone with excitement after reading about the set bonus unlocked.

[Communication Page]

[The five-piece Goblin Set Bonus is Chaos Veil]

[Assessment Page]

[Skill Name: Chaos Veil (Passive)]

[Effect: When the user takes a critical hit, one of the equipment from the Goblin-Set equipment will be sacrificed and the damage received by the user will be reflected back to the attacker while keeping the user completely safe. At the same time, the user will become invisible for the next five seconds]

[Note: The set bonus will be recovered once the sacrificed equipment is replaced with another Goblin Equipment]

How could Aeon not get excited about the skill where he could transfer the damage from a critical hit to his enemy?

'Even though it is only limited to a critical hit, I want nothing more than that because critical hits are deadly and could kill me in a single blow.'

However, thanks to the set bonus, Aeon could not die from the critical hits from his enemies anymore.

Moreover, if he felt the situation was not good for him, Aeon could see the invisibility effect to escape from the danger.

In short, it was a perfect skill for the current him who was trying to survive.

It was because, as the days passed by, Aeon knew he could become stronger and by becoming stronger, he could complete the Trial of Life and Death and become the Master of the Grimoire of Life and Death.

'This is a set bonus unlocked by five grey-ranked equipment made up of Goblins? What if their rank was high and made up of powerful monster races?'

The fire in Aeon's heart to complete the trial grew even bigger after thinking about all the equipment and gifts he would be receiving from the Grimoire of Life and Death.

'Also, there is still another gift pending from the Grimoire of Life and Death.'

Compared to the gifts from the seven Goblin Soldiers' corpses, Aeon was more excited about the final gift which was from the Goblin Captain who was two whole realms stronger than Goblin Soldiers.

'Isn't it common to get a higher-ranked gift by offering a higher-ranked corpse?'

This is the thought inside Aeon's head as he is ready to start his cultivation as he doesn't know how long it would take for the Grimoire of Life and Death to issue him the gift.

Hence, he didn't want to waste any time and focus on his cultivation.

[Master Page]

[Name: Aeon Thundershade]

[Life Blood Cultivation: Level 4 Life Blood Soldier (Gray)]

[Life Space: 250 / 400 units of Life Energy]

[Equipemt: Pendant of Protection, Goblinhide Armour, Goblinbone Dagger x 2, Goblinstep Boots, Goblinclaw Bracers]

2) +20 percent increase in Attack Speed

3) +15 percent increase in Defence

4) +10 percent increase in Agility

5) +5 percent increase in the Damage] 

Before he started his cultivation, Aeon took one last look at the [Master Page] of the Grimoire of Life and Death and nodded his head in satisfaction.

'I only need 150 more units of Life Energy to make another breakthrough to the Level 5 Life Blood Soldier Realm.'

At the same time, Aeon calculated the required units of Life Energy for his next breakthrough and sat down to cultivate.

Of course, he didn't forget to cover the cave entrance with a huge boulder and the same gaps with small rocks lying in the cave.

[Thuder Serenity Flow]

'Swoosh'

Soon, Aeon circulated the cultivation technique and in the next second, the grey-coloured small life seed flew out of his body and started absorbing the Life Energy.

'The intake of Life Energy with my eyes closed is doubled.'

There was a slight smile on his face when Aeon sensed that his Life Seed was absorbing more Life Energy compared to his cultivation in the bush with his eyes open.

'Swoosh'

[The temporary owner has received a gift from the Grimoire of Life and Death in exchange for the Goblin Captain's corpse]

Finally, the thing that Aeon was waiting for appeared and Aeon sensed the movements of the Grimoire of Life and Death and opened his eyes to read it, only to become excited.
