[ Cooldown: 10 Minutes ]

--------------

The Phoenix Tears bow is a breathtakingly beautiful weapon, with a slender, curved frame that seems to be made of pure crystal. Its limbs are adorned with delicate etchings of phoenix feathers, and its string is made of a gleaming silver material that shimmers with a fiery light.

"Too bad I don't use bows. I'll just auction it off when I get back," Karsha said. Despite the bow's overwhelming power, it wasn't meant for him. He was a swordsman, and using bows was not one of his strengths.

The bow is perfect for AOE (Area of Effect) attacks. With its fiery abilities, even the strongest army will break formation when an arrow is unleashed. The effects of [Blaze of Glory] can create chaos on the battlefield.

With the increase in strength and speed, the attacks not only deal significant damage but also make the wielder faster and more accurate. In a short time, they can unleash tremendous damage upon their enemies.

The Inferno Fury ability has its perks. With its vast range, it is best showcased on large-scale battlefields. All the abilities imbued into the bow are top-tier. In the hands of a skilled archer, it could be devastating.

"Too bad I can't use it. Of to the next one I guess." He then retrieved the sixth orb and shattered it.

< Ding! Congratulations, You have received An Epic Rank Artifact: Soulguard >

A beautiful and intricate piece of jewelry, with a delicate silver chain and a pendant that resembles a stylized winged shield, materializes in Karsha's hands. The pendant is adorned with small, shimmering gemstones that seem to pulse with a soft, protective energy.

"This is beautiful, but can only be used by a lady" Karsha admired the necklace with a satisfied smile, "This is best given to someone that needed it. I have a system to protect my soul." Having a cheat system sometimes comes in handy.

-- Soul Protection: The Soulguard necklace grants the wearer partial protection against soul attacks, preventing any damage or effects that target the wearer's soul.

-- Spiritual Shield: The necklace creates a spiritual shield around the wearer, absorbing a set amount of damage from attacks that target the wearer's spirit.

-- Soul Healing: The Soulguard necklace slowly restores the wearer's soul over time, healing any damage or corruption that may have occurred.

---------------

Although it only partially protects against soul attacks, the Soulguard necklace is still a valuable artifact. The soul is the most fragile aspect of the human system, and attacks targeting it can be exceedingly dangerous, capable of causing death with minimal resistance.

Without any protection, the soul is vulnerable and susceptible to damage at any time. However, with the Soulguard necklace offering partial protection, individuals facing soul attacks can manage to survive without losing their lives.

In the world of Quinox, soul protection artifacts are highly prized, often fetching prices in the millions, if not billions, due to their rarity and the difficulty artisans face in creating them. Should Karsha choose to auction this seemingly simple necklace, he would undoubtedly walk away with a considerable sum of spirit stones.

But being unaware of its value, he just stored the necklace in his inventory and retrieved the seventh orb.

"Here we go again," he said, shattering the orb.

< Ding! Congratulations, You have received a Tier 3 Skill Book >

< Skill: Sword Storm >

Tier: 4

Rating: C

-- By fusing Mana into the sword, the swordsman can create a projection of their swords that contains 80% of their attack power and use it to attack from all directions.

[ Current Projections: 10 ]

---------------

A small skill book appeared in Karsha's hand, bringing a smile to his face. With another sword skill at his disposal, he could further enhance the effect of the swords created from water and ice within his domain.

The swords currently have 70% of his attack power, but with this new addition, he could increase their attack power to 80%, further strengthening the already formidable nature of his domain.

The Red Eye Tiger skill is like a container that can hold multiple types of skills. The more skills loaded into it, the more powerful it becomes.

With its amplified nature, the skills added to it can be unleashed without any delay. It also allows for multiple skill activations with minimal Mana loss.

Additionally, with the variations containing many effects from the same skills, he just has to activate the skills, and the variations can be automatically triggered without wasting any extra Mana.

< Does the host wish to learn this skill >

-- Yes

-- No

"Yes, I want to learn it," Karsha muttered, feeling a wave of happiness wash over him. "I must add this to the Red Eye Tiger and then incorporate them into the Variations."

With more skills added to the variations, he can fight in close combat while the domain also does its work. Yes, it is an overpowered skill that will continue to grow in power as more skills with higher tiers and good ratings are added.

< Congratulations, You have learned a new skill: Sword Storm >

"Kindly add the new skill to the Red Eye Tiger" He then retrieved the last orb and shattered it without any hesitation.

< Ding! Congratulations, you have received the first Volume of the Death Scripture >

"Holy shit, isn't this like telling me to recite my own death poem?" Karsha muttered as he immediately threw the book away and stood up.

The allure of power was fine, but when the price was his life, it wasn't worth it. Karsha already had a domain that granted him buffs and debuffed his enemies. Additionally, his bracer and sheath increased his strength and damage output.

If he combined these with the scriptures, he could easily overpower those in the realms above him. Yet, the price was simply too high.

Using his lifeline for strength was something he wasn't ready to embrace—at least, not yet.

"It's been a few hours; they should be awake by now," he said as he stood up and let the system equip the clothes he had ordered.

It was a black leather jacket and dark jeans. The style was not common in this world, but since Karsha wasn't from this world, he let the system equip it.

Once he was satisfied with his new appearance, he left the cave.

"Holy shit, were you here the whole time?" Karsha exclaimed in shock when he saw Ayarr standing right at the entrance.

"You know what, don't answer that. You've already been stalking me for two whole weeks," Karsha said, raising his hands in surrender as he started walking back to the white house.

"You coming?" he asked, snapping Ayarr out of her own thoughts.
