Chapter 17: Rich Rewards

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Such a terrifying defensive array is actually set up in the dungeon. That cell door is not simple! I’m afraid it’s the work of that so-called Holy Empire!”

Frustrated, Lucian summarized the cause of death.

At this moment, the system notification sounded.

[Please choose the talent you want to keep.]

“I choose to retain the Voice of Angels!”

[Ding! Choosing to retain the talent, Angel’s Voice, solidified successfully!]

[Ding! In view of the host’s outstanding performance in this simulation, the host is now rewarded!]

Lucian’s eyes lit up. He hadn’t expected a bonus for this simulation.

As the system finished distributing the reward, Lucian felt a majestic power surge through his body.

Immediately after, he felt his strength rising rapidly.

In just a few minutes, he had grown to the peak of its infancy.

Before the simulation, his strength was equivalent to Fourth Realm, but now, he has reached Sixth.

It was a terrifying improvement!

He let out a suppressed smile.

But it wasn’t over yet.

[Divine Healing: Activate this skill. It can treat injuries. As the host’s strength increases, the effect of the skill will also increase! At this stage, it can heal all non-fatal external injuries!]

[Soul Enslavement: A dark skill that can plant a mark of enslavement on the soul of the enslaved object or person. Those who are planted with the mark of enslavement are not allowed to resist their master for the rest of their lives! Otherwise, they will die!]

Lucian was so shocked by the rewards that he couldn’t speak.

Then, he was overjoyed.

“I actually obtained two skills at the same time, an Angel’s skill and a Fallen Angel’s skill! This harvest is really too bountiful!”

It was easy for Lucian to understand that the system’s reward for him was a package.

Because although he is a Fallen Angel now, he has the skill [Form Transformation], thus he has three forms.

Having three forms was equivalent to having three identities.

Humans aside, Angels and Fallen Angels were powerful races.

With these two identities, he could naturally obtain these two completely different abilities at the same time.

It had to be known that Angel skills belonged to the Light attribute.

And the skills of Fallen Angels belonged to the Dark attribute.

Originally, it was impossible for these two skills to exist in one person at the same time.

But because of Lucian’s uniqueness, he’d done what all species couldn’t.

After organizing his gains, Lucian left his cottage.

Through previous simulations, he had accumulated a wealth of experience.

And knew the sequence of events that would follow.

“Although I already have the strength to match the Goblin Priest Elder, the current strength of the Lizard People tribe is not enough to fight against them. After all, there are still many powerful Fifth and Fourth Realm experts in the Goblin Tribe!”

Lucian’s goal in all of this was to defeat the Goblins and unify the south of the Demonic Forest.

Originally, his plan was to use the strength of the south to fight the Goblins together by subduing the surrounding tribes.

But through simulations, he knew this path would not work.

His powers are not useful here, and there was an even greater force waiting to be dealt with.

“The underground prison of the Holy Empire’s Kaidi City! Hehe, I have to conquer it properly this time!”

He knew what would happen next. Human slave hunters would head for that house in the Cat-Eared tribe.

Then they would commit all sorts of atrocities there.

And these Humans were key to his breakthrough.

With a wealth of experience, Lucian headed for the Cat-Eared tribe with ease.

He immediately found the leader of the tribe and got close to him in the name of friendship.

The hospitable leader quickly treated Lucian as a friend.

“Dear Chief, I have to tell you something. I’m actually an Angel, and I have prophectic powers.”

“What I can tell you is that on the night of the fourteenth day, a gang of Human hunters will creep into the territory of the Cat-Eared tribe and extend their claws to an unfortunate family.”

“I came here this time to prevent such a vicious incident from happening. I hope you can believe me!”

The leader was shocked at what Lucian had said.

“Oh, my dear fellow! Of course, I believe what you’re saying. We’ve heard so much about those Human slave hunters. They’re the most feared executioners! If they do invade our territory, I’m afraid our warriors can’t deal with them. What on earth is to be done?”

Lucian smiled reassuringly. “Don’t worry, I’m here to help you solve this problem! Just leave it to me!”

So Lucian settled down in the Cat-Eared tribe.

And on the night of the fourteenth day, he quietly lay in ambush in the house in his memory.

The family who had been living in this house had been moved to somewhere else.

Now, only Lucian, who was lying in ambush, and a few strong warriors were left in the room.

Things were indeed developing like in the simulation.

In the middle of the night, Lucian sensed several Human presences sneaking into the room.

As soon as the Humans entered the room, they were captured by the warriors.

After his previous experience, Lucian had the warriors take the men to the dungeon.

Because he knew that somewhere in the Demonic Forest, a powerful griffin was lurking.

If they still interrogated these guys on the ground, they would inevitably be rescued by the griffins.

And this time, they weren’t holding these guys together for questioning.

Instead, he interrogated them separately.

It was the Prisoner’s Dilemma interrogation method he had learned before.

Clearly, this approach was far more efficient than any of his previous approaches.

The first person Lucian interrogated was not the knight named Anthony.

He arrived in the cell of the hunter who had spoken first in the simulation.

He knew this guy was the most timid, so he is the easiest to pry for information.

After arriving at his cell, Lucian asked his usual questions.

When the guy showed signs of faltering, Lucian didn’t hold back with the whip.

The wailing Human immediately gave in.

Lucie smiled at him. “That’s the spirit. As long as you’re honest, you don’t have to suffer all this pain! And I promise you, if you tell me what I want to know, I’ll let you go!”

The Human burst into tears at Lucian’s tolerant smile.

So he told Lucian everything he knew.

What he said was almost identical to the information Lucian had known in the simulation.

He was more satisfied with that.

Then he began to interrogate heavily about the dungeon.

But instead of directly starting with his final question, he decided to start with the simplest.

“You captured so many demonic creatures. Even if you want to sell them, you can’t sell them immediately. Tell me, where are the demonic creatures that you didn’t sell locked up at?”

The slave catcher paused, then grimaced.

“I really don’t know about that. We’re only responsible for capturing them. We don’t have the right to participate in the subsequent matters! Moreover, these demonic creatures are very valued by the nobles. The place where they’re imprisoned is a secret. I reckon only the core figures in the city are aware of it!”

Lucian nodded. “Then you’re of no use at all! You can go to hell!”

When he’d finished, Lucian’s expression quickly turned grim.

Then, he picked up a knife and stabbed it into the other party’s heart.

Just after he’d killed this guy, the system’s voice rang in his head.

[Detected that the host has committed [Wrath] of the Seven Deadly Sins. Reward to the host!]
