Plundering in the Apocalypse

Chapter 49 Soul Fragments.



"Soul fragments. Huh. Interesting." Alice muttered as she read through the information she got.

Soul fragments are something that can help Alice increase her mana stat or her skills and abilities proficiency and level. She can save them to increase her Soul Tamer(SSS) ability level too.

The abilities can further increase in level as the user grows in strength. Their abilities provide users with related skills and such.

This Soul fragment will specifically help Alice's ability to grow fast. In other words, make her more overpowered.

Inside Alice's soul space which was connected to her <Soul Grimoire>. Mia was anxious. She was worried her daughter will turn into a crazy killer if Alice let her greed take over because of this skill.

Alice pondered something very deeply.

Seeing her like this Mia was getting more anxious by the second.

Alice finally opened her mouth as she said.

"Well, whatever. I should go and start hunting. I will meet Shin before the meeting time."

Alice smiled in bliss. She didn't care about other things.

Mia was flabbergasted. Maybe she was worried for nothing. Her little girl is only obsessed with Shin. Alice's only problem is that her obsession is getting too severe. That means she won't kill the innocent or murder just to increase her power.

Mia has to watch over her daughter properly.

***

After separating from the group. Shin went on a killing spree. He killed many monsters but they were mostly weak.

Just as he expected.

'Maybe I should practice with gravity manipulation.' Shin thought to himself.

Shin sheathed his long sword and stopped for a second.

"Status board," Shin muttered.

"If I want to use Gravity Manipulation. I better increase my mana stat first." Shin talked to himself. While the monsters, who he was facing were looking at him cautiously.

"This should be enough for now"

[Mana - 50][Bonus stats - 78]

Suddenly Shin felt the energy inside him expand. It was getting richer and purer by the second.

"Th-This feeling. It's awesome." Shin tightened his fists in excitement. This feeling is way different from increasing his other stats.

"Let's try this." Shin raised his hand as he circulated the mana inside his body which was much higher compared to the tiny amount before.

He saw the goblin's body near his foot. He focused his mana and used his skill.

<Gravity Manipulation>

The body started floating in the air. Even though it was a little difficult to keep it floating. As the skill grows maybe it will become easier.

For now, he can only control small objects. He thought of an idea. 'Will it work? There's no problem in trying.'

Shin had a smirk on his face as he looked at the monsters in front of him. They will be his practice dummies.

The monsters gulped as they saw the crazy human in front of them smiling with his signature devilish smile.

Shin took out the throwing knives he brought with him.

The monsters thought this human will again start hunting them. They can only wait for their impending doom. There's no escape from this maniac.

Soon the monsters widened their eyes in shock. The knives in the devil's hand started floating in the air while pointing toward them.

*Woosh*

Shin waved his hand and those knives shot in the air piercing through the head of a goblin leaving but a large hole.

It was a swift death. Shin had a satisfied smile on his face. Hunting without moving is easier.

But his smile made monsters alert in fear. Waiting for their deaths at this human's hands was pointless. It's better to struggle. They dashed towards him hoping to finish him with numbers.

Shin just smiled and controlled three throwing knives and used them to shoot at the incoming monsters.

Hence the slaughter started.

*Splurge*

*Kieeek*

*Swoosh*

*Kraahhh*

...

[You have killed 8 Goblins.]

[You have killed 8 Gnolls.]

[You have killed 15 Corpse eaters.]

[You have gained experience.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed 8 skill points for 'Pain Tolerance' skill.]

[You have absorbed 15 skill points for 'Predator's eyes' skill.]

[You have absorbed 3 stat points.]

Shin had a frown on his face.

'It wasn't much. I need to hunt more monsters.'

'It feels like I used 10% of my mana. How do I recover it? Does it naturally recover or is there a trick to it?' Shin pondered deeply.

Then something clicked in his mind.

The way he was circulating mana inside his body without using it. It was a good feeling. 'Can it work while walking?'

'It doesn't hurt to try.' Shin tried doing it while walking. It was difficult but soon he was able to do it. Though the efficiency was extremely low. It's better than nothing.

Shin made his way toward the next group of monsters.

He soon came across a different type of monster. But from the details he gained using his skill, it was on the weaker side.

So it wasn't a problem. He used his appraisal.

[Kobold (Normal)]

It was a pink-colored monster with similar features to a goblin but a little dog-like features with a human body.

In other words. Gross.

Shin raised his hand and the knives shot piercing through its skull.

[You have killed a Kobold]

[Plunder activated]

[You have absorbed a new skill 'Bite(G)'.]

"What Bite?" Shin had a weird premonition.

"Let's see. Hope it's not what I think it is."

[Bite(G):- User bites the target with his teeth. With strong teeth, the User may even be able to kill the target.

-Special effect- There are chances of leaving the target with infection.

-Note- User shouldn't clean his mouth for special effect.]

"..."

"... What bullshit is this? It's of no use." Shin complained. He couldn't live without washing his mouth. Why the hell would he bite these gross, disgusting monsters to death?

"Ugh, I can't learn this skill." Shin sighed. At that moment be heard a familiar sound.

*Klink!*

[The unused skills can be converted into skill points.]

[Do you want to convert skill 'Bite(G)' into skill points?]

[Yes/No]
