Chapter 960 - Third Grade Spirit
Chapter 960 Third Grade Spirit
There was a cave that used to be dark and damp.
However, after some simple modifications, Greem turned it into a simple, yet comfortable, underground home.
Since leaving Hakans, Greem had found a safe place nearby. He then had the stone serpent dig thirty meters downward before excavating a crude fifty-meter-square cave.
The humidity underground was no problem. A simple barrier of heat turned the damp dirt into hardened earth. Greem then placed an illumination stone in the ceiling and imbued it with magical energy, making the cave bright.
He released the elementium magical machine as a lookout before making a bed of stone in a corner of the cave and lying down to sleep.
It had been twenty-seven days since he broke into the Henvic Plane. Greem had not had any proper sleep over the past month due to the constant harassment of that annoying Blade Princess. Even deep meditations were rare. Though he was a Third Grade adept and his body was as tough as most magical creatures, spiritual exhaustion was still unavoidable.
The constant running and fighting, the spiritual backlash from having his fire clone destroyed, and the energy he had exhausted in the battle of Hakans; all of these factors added together had worn Greem down. He immediately laid down on the bed once the safe house was completed and fell into a deep, deep sleep.
Greem let out a long sigh.
After putting in so much effort and exhausting such a tremendous amount of resources, he had finally raised the level of this soul-bound entity to Third Grade. From now on, it would no longer be an awkwardly unhelpful existence, but a powerful Third Grade assistant that could genuinely aid him.
However, wasn’t one meter a little too short? Also, what other abilities did it have?
Seemingly picking up on Greem’s questions, the Spirit of Pestilence opened up its mind and revealed its secrets to Greem.
[Target Creature: Spirit of Pestilence (Temporary Name)
Target Species: Magical Contracted Spirit
Target Grade: Third Grade
Target Bodily Attributes: Strength 3 | Physique 8 | Agility 5 | Spirit 31
Target Magical Attribute: Poison

……
……]
All sorts of abilities with strange names and effects filled the list of skills projected by the Chip. These were the basic abilities that the Spirit of Pestilence now possessed. They would continue to increase in power as it grew stronger.
Greem looked at the Spirit’s attributes and couldn’t help but fall into thought.
It was evident that the Spirit of Pestilence was a unique contracted creature that could only unleash its real strength while under the protection of someone else. Its Strength, Physique, and Agility were on the lower side and were barely comparable to First Grade adepts who had just advanced.
Most of its power was concentrated on Spirit alone.
The only question now was, how did it fight? That was probably something that it would slowly figure out and correct through a long journey of combat.
“From now on, your name will be Remi!”
The green boy cheered in joy upon hearing Greem’s words. He leaped about before running over to play with the big guy (the elementium magical machine).
Meanwhile, Greem hesitated for a moment before taking out the strange soul-gathering crystal at his waist. He lifted it to his eyes.
“Chip, scan and examine the crystal!”
[Beep. Scan starting.]
As his Spirit drained away, blinding blue light shone out of Greem’s black eyes and onto the soul-gathering crystal. Thousands of sharp shrieks rang out faintly from the crystal; the noise was so loud that it made Greem’s head hurt momentarily.
Fifteen minutes later, the Chip’s scans finally came to an end as a new examination report appeared before Greem.
[Scan Target: Soul-Gathering Crystal
Target Classification: High-Level Energy Amalgamation
Target Number: A total of 175 higher energy units detected. The total energy level is at 7963 Pato. There is 1 Third Grade unit with an energy level of 4214 Pato, accounting for 51.92% of the total energy. There are 18 Second Grade units with an energy level of 2946 Pato, accounting for 36% of the total energy. There are 156 First Grade units with an energy level of 803 Pato, accounting for 12% of the total energy.
[Upon deep scan and analysis, such high-level, pure faith energy can be absorbed and assimilated to increase host’s Spirit.
[Host has to purify Spirit energy regularly after absorbing said faith energy. Otherwise, unpredictable Spirit mutations may occur. Resources required for Spirit energy purification ceremony are as follows: ……]
Greem eyes lit up upon seeing the information projected by the Chip. His interest had been piqued!
