After having packed all the monster corpses and mined as much as we could the entire dungeon out of the Dragon Stones and other ores, we moved back home.

This was going to be our last day here before our month-long vacation back in our village. I felt rather exhausted myself, and just wanted to lie down.

But there was something I needed to do, such as consume the Dragon Hearts we've gathered so far…

I forced myself to munch and gulp them until the last one, while absorbing their draconic energy. It was a slow and rather annoying process, but it had to be done.

FLAAASH!

Ding!

[You have absorbed Several Dragon Hearts!]

[Your [Dragon Heart] has assimilated their energy.]

[The [Dragon Heart: Lv3] Skill has Leveled Up!]

[The Dragon Heart Assimilation Rate: has increased from 35% to 40%]

[All Dragon-related Skills have Leveled Up.]

[Draconic Energy is coursing through your body even more than before.]

[Your Unique Physique Development has increased slightly.]

"Perfect."

As I sighed in relief while sitting cross-legged over the floor, I quickly decided to take a look at the bonuses granted to me by devouring the Soul Flames.

Since I acquired the Blessing of the Holy Spirit of Flames, or well, a fragment of their authority, that I've been meticulously devouring these Soul Flames.

They don't pop out of any monster though, only strong ones give me some, anything weak compared to my stats will give me no Soul Flames.

However, all of the monsters in that dungeon always dropped, at least in a rate of seven out of ten. Therefore, I've been accumulating a nice amount of Soul Flames.

Indeed, they are "stored" inside of my own Soul, and I can seem to stack an endless amount of them thanks to this powerful Authority Fragment.

Right now I haven't consumed them all, but I had several thousands of them, the weakest ones would usually give between 1 to 100 Stats at random, while the very strong ones, coming from bosses, could give between 50 to 300.

Even though it might seem very little, once you stack thousands, it becomes quite ridiculous and overpowered. To balance that, the more souls of the same type you consume, the less likely they are to appear and also their bonus stats decrease until you only receive 1.

So if we want to gain more stats through this method, we'll need to find new and stronger foes… I suppose that is what the Holy Spirit of Fire intended to begin with anyways.

Nonetheless, now that I'm finally max level, I'll just absorb them all right away.

"Absorb All Soul Flames"

As I gave the command, a seal within my soul was opened, and an endless sea of golden flames surged from within, quickly being absorbed by my soul and my body together.

FLUOOOSH!

For a moment, it felt as if my entire body was blazing and burning with endless, divine flames… It didn't feel painful, however, but really relaxing.

Not only my Physique Improved, but also my Demonic Core, my Spirit Orb, and even my Magic Circle!

However, the thing that improved the most was my own soul, my Psyche!

TRUUUMM…!

My soul felt stronger, blazing with flames as if it had become a sea of golden fire itself… It felt all-encompassing, any exhaustion or tiredness it once felt was gone.

Ding!

So many bonus stats!

This is utterly ridiculous…

With these bonus Stats, I might already be comparable to a peak Rank 5- no, maybe even higher than that?

Peak Rank 4 with a four-star talent or higher have, usually, 15k Stats at most in their strongest stat. It is very rare to see people with more than one stat they specialize.

But I wonder if all of this is still enough to slay that Divine Dragon, Fafnir…

And whoever is the Archdemon controlling him.
