Goblin Offering

'Swoosh'

It didn't take much time as the skull on the totem opened its mouth widely and coughed a green ring.

'I hope it is related to Goblin Set.'

Picking the ring from the ground, Aeon hoped it was made up of the Goblin's body parts because when the Goblin Set Bonus triggers, it consumes one of his equipment.

If he had extra pieces of equipment belonging to the Goblin Set, then he could use the Goblin Set Bonus multiple times.

Moreover, Aeon was hoping to see whether he could unlock the second Goblin Set Bonus by equipping himself with more Goblin Set Equipments.

'Let's use my last assessment for the day.'

The green was not blessed to Aeon by the Grimoire of Life and Death, it won't give him the information.

Earlier, Aeon used one assessment for the Goblin Captain and the other one for the Protection of Pendant around the Goblin Captain's neck.

Since the [Assessment Page] gives him three free assessments for the day, Aeon was still left with one more assessment. Thus, Aeon used it to check the information on the green coughed up by the Goblinbone Totem.

[Assessment Page]

[Equipment Name: Goblin Secret Ring]

[Grade: Grey]

[Effect: It contains a dimensional space of one cubic meter which can be used to store non-living things]

[Note: Goblin Set pieces increased to seven]

[The temporary owner has used all three uses of the [Assessment Page] for the day. Wait until tomorrow to use it again]

'A storage ring? Excellent.'

After reading the information about the secret, Aeon was satisfied with it.

Even though it won't be helping him in the battle, it was a good support-type item for him.

It was good because Aeon used the useless things on him in exchange for that. So, obviously, it was good despite being a Grey-grade equipment.

Going forward, Aeon believed that he would be getting more and more equipment and items from the Grimoire of Life and Death and the Goblinbone Totem. So, having a storage device like the Goblin Secret Ring could help him to a certain extent in hiding his treasures.

'What's more, it is one of the Goblin Set Pieces. I wonder whether all the equipment I get from the Goblinbone Totem by offering the Goblin Essence Crystals are set pieces belonging to Goblin Set.'

Aeon had already concluded that all the equipment he would be getting from the Grimoire of Life and Death for offering the Goblin Corpses would belong to the Goblin Set.

And thus, he was wondering whether it would be the same with the Goblinbone Totem.

'I will only figure it out by offering it more Goblin Essence Crystals and the only way for me to get them is by fighting the Goblins.'

Aeon's confidence in fighting Goblins increased to a level where Aeon believed that as long as he was careful, he could even kill the Goblin Sergeant without using the [Goblinfire Bolt] spell.

Of course, if he used it, Aeon believed he could take down multiple Goblin Sergeants at once.

'Before that, I will increase my cultivation first.'

Since he had the option of becoming stronger just by sitting inside the cave, Aeon didn't have any reason to go out and fight the monsters already.

With that thought in mind, Aeon set aside all the things and resumed his cultivation.

[Thunder Serenity Flow]

'Swoosh'

Soon, the Life Seed flew out of Aeon's body and devoured the Life Energy from the surroundings at an incredible speed.

[+ 20 units of Life Energy increased]

[+20 units of Life Energy Increased]

.

.

.

Previously, Aeon used to absorb only 10 units of Life Energy every hour; however, right now, it's doubled because he was cultivating with full focus with his eyes closed.

'It's time to break through to the Level 5 Life Blood Soldier Realm.'

After eight hours of cultivation, Aeon finally accumulated enough Life Energy for his next breakthrough.

'Kacha'

Without any hesitation, Aeon directly ordered his Life Seed for the breakthrough and it was executed.

[Level 5 Life Blood Soldier Realm]

Feeling the newfound power inside his body, Aeon clenched his fists in satisfaction.

'At this speed, I might become a Life Blood Master in less than a couple of years and then, I can plan my revenge on the Royal Queen and the Royal Family.'

Aeon was not planning anything about revenge because he knew he was not qualified to talk about it…at least not yet.

He believed that the Life Blood Master Realm was the minimum strength he needed to gain before even thinking about revenge.

Thus, the only thing that Aeon focused on right now was to increase his strength as soon as possible.

'Let's continue.'

Even though Aeon was a lot stronger than before entering the cave, he didn't have any intention of going out of the cave.

Moreover, Aeon still has some fruits to satisfy his hunger and thus, he could stay in the cave for a couple of more days and increase his cultivation by another couple of levels in the soldier realm.

'I need to use the Goblinfire Bolt Spell within a week anyway, so, I will use it when I go out of the cave in a couple of days.'

Aeon didn't want his powerful trump card to go to waste and thus, he planned to increase his cultivation to the maximum before that.

'Before I resume my cultivation, I will create today's quota of Life Crystals.'

Without wasting any time, Aeon used his Life Seed Ability [Life Crystal Creation] to create three special low-level Life Crystals and stored them in the Goblin Secret Ring.

Aeon didn't use these Life Crystals to increase the Life Energy in his Life Space; instead, he increased it through cultivation.

[+ 20 units of Life Energy increased]

[+20 units of Life Energy Increased]

.

.

.

[+60 units of Life Energy Increased]

Time continued to pass and in a flash, half a day passed by and the effect of the Pendant of Protection was restored.

Thanks to that, Aeon's cultivation speed increased by three times and thus, Aeon was able to absorb 60 units of Life Energy for every hour.

Due to the sudden boost in Aeon's cultivation speed, it only took five more hours for him to fill his Life Space.

'It's time to break through to the next level.'

With a slight smile on his face, Aeon checked the [Master Page] in the Grimoire of Life and Death before ordering his Life Seed for the breakthrough.

[Master Page]

[Name: Aeon Thundershade]

[Life Blood Cultivation: Level 5 Life Blood Soldier (Gray)]

[Life Space: 500 / 500 units of Life Energy]

[Life Seed's Space: 40 / 500 Units of Life Energy]

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

[Cultivation Resources: 1) Special Life Crystals x 3 (low-level), 2) Goblin Essence Crystals x 2 (low-level)].

'Breakthrough'

After nodding his head in satisfaction, Aeon gave the word like always.

'...'

However, there was no familiar crisp sound in his body, making Aeon frown.

'Grimoire, what is happening? Why am I unable to break through to the next level?'

The only one who could answer his question was the Grimoire of Life and Death. Hence, Aeon asked the book about his failure to break through to the next level.
