Count Desmond

"So close!"

Alex exclaimed with nervousness.

He had just finished absorbing the 14th Soul orb, one of the two D rank soul orbs.

It had been 3 days since the whole ordeal with the mercenaries had ended, and other than eating and sleeping, Alex had spent that whole time focusing on absorbing all of his newly gained Soul orbs.

Right now, he was sitting at 77% progress through E+ rank, and with only 1 Soul orb remaining, he was cutting it quite close.

'I hope this one does the trick…'

Unfortunately, when he reached E+ rank, the progress he gained towards the next level lessened with each Soul orb absorbed, which led him to this point.

He looked at the last remaining D rank soul orb with his nerves feeling a little tense.

If this didn't give him that last 23%, then he'd be stuck at E+ rank and whether he was able to fight on par with the Count would be entirely down to luck.
