He stared at the young Original, whose expression couldn\'t be more emotionless than it was right now.

Nial\'s lifeless eyes stared unfocused in the receptionist\'s direction, which made the man feel less comfortable with every passing second.

"Of course, I did!" He declared before he continued to speak calmly, "Who else should have completed these missions?"

Nial might sound calm but the young receptionist couldn\'t help but feel that something would go terribly wrong if he would be foolish enough to upset Nial.

"O-okay…I approved your completion of the missions. The monster corpses and other extraordinary drops will be totaled and you will be awarded your contribution points accordingly!" The receptionist quickly said.

Nial nodded his head after Ryu chirped out in joy and they left the Guild hall not long after.

When Nial\'s army of Undeads had killed all the Deux-ranked Overlords, he made them kill each other with simple commands.

[Dominion] worked out far better than he had expected and numerous new strategies formed in his mind. There were certain things he wanted to test out but instead of doing so, Nial rather collected his contribution points for completing all missions.

149 Missions and millions of corpses were worth a lot more than 100 million contribution points, meaning that Nial would require only 10 days to make up for his earlier investment.

[Mental Control] might have cost a total of 100 million contribution points but it was pretty obvious that it was far more than that for Nial. Of course, that was also related to the obvious fact that [Mental Control] had evolved [Dominion].

It was also a linked ability, which made things even better for Nial, whose mood had improved drastically. There was no way that he would be displeased with his new ability, especially after the devastating 10 days during which he had witnessed the whole prowess of his newest linked ability.

It was the first ability that was only linked to his Mana Core and Nial was very satisfied with the outcome.

"Now I can buy a new ability, or look for one, to be precise!" Nial muttered in satisfaction with a small excited smile on his face.

The chances of him finding a new ability crystal that reacted with his Mana core or Heart of Darkness were slim but Nial had more than enough time. After all, he wanted to improve his physique a lot more before advancing his Mana core to the Deux rank.

There were many things he had to accomplish before, including the completion of the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia!

Because he had more than enough contribution points, Nial didn\'t even think about being stingy to buy enough resources to undergo as many Refinements of Imperfectia in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, it was very important for Nial to look out for ways to improve Ryu\'s strength. Even if Nial didn\'t want to acknowledge it, Ryu had gotten very close to him in a very short amount of time and he was equally fond of him.

It was something he didn\'t expect to happen so soon after he had built up a wall around his heart to not let others in, but somehow Ryu had managed to sneak in.

That was weird but it was not as if Nial disliked the feeling of caring about someone. Ryu cared about him a lot as well, which was quite clear for both of them due to their unique bond.

Several months passed after Nial got his hand on an enormous amount of resources and he finished a total of 1000 Refinements of Imperfectia.

A tenth of the technique had been successfully completed and the effects were already pretty amazing. Nial felt a lot stronger than before and he could already feel that his body was functioning at a much faster rate than before.

This was pretty interesting but it was nothing in comparison to the other gains he had made.

He had learned a lot more about Superior and Ancient runic solutions, his proficiency with the [Dominion] ability had increased rapidly and the number of contribution points he had accumulated skyrocketed as well.

Nial had yet to learn lots of combat techniques from the Thousand Bodies refinements dojo but that didn\'t really matter. He contributed to the fame the now 1-Star Dojo gained and it was only a matter of time before the number of daily challengers to undergo the entrance test would cross 100.

Even 1000 daily challengers weren\'t unlikely to be achieved the moment more and more races would reach Alliance city.

Nial was given the opportunity to gain new martial art techniques but he was so focused on the 10,000 Refinements of Imperfectia technique that he couldn\'t even think of anything else.

Unfortunately, the overall situation was far from being nice. He had yet to get his hands on one of the last two abilities he could bind to him and even his Mana Core was not vibrating anymore.

He presumed that the [Mental Control] ability had been the sole reason for his Mana Core to react like this, which was not very nice considering that his Mana core had annoyed him for a very long time.

But there was still more. Not only was his mission to look for more ability crystals to find a suitable ability but there were also a few pieces of news from the Forest of Life that were both likable and unlikeable at the same time.

First of all, humans were expanding their range and territory. Nine shelters were not enough for them anymore and the dangers radiating from the dungeon beasts and races all around them didn\'t seem to be too high.

That being said, it seemed like humans from other planets had begun to meet with humans from Jundra. Nial was pretty impressed by this information, especially since there were humans that were connected to the Golden Armaments Union.

Old Elf Clevian and the other Elves didn\'t really like this change of events that much but Nial was pretty amused by it.

He didn\'t expect the Golden Armaments Union to act so factually, let alone that they would be capable of getting in contact with humans from Jundra when they were clearly in an alliance with the Elves.

Nial figured that this was a provocation directed at the Elves, showing them that fellow humans would join forces together no matter which place they came from.

The humans from other planets had various powerful techniques to use in order to become a lot stronger, while the humans from Jundra were known as one of the few races with the capabilities to bind five abilities to their Mana Core.

It was even rare for Ancient races to have individuals capable of binding a total of five abilities to their Mana Core, let alone every single member.

This was pretty interesting when Nial figured that news out but he was more concerned about other things.

"Is there still no news of Sabrina and Mathias? Where the hell are they?" Nial asked through the long-distance messenger device and Miles, his father, answered him with a much stronger voice than one would expect a depressed and broken man to possess.

"Don\'t you worry too much about them? They\'ll be fine. Take care of yourself instead of others."

"The Royal Princess told me to convey a message to you…are you ready?" His father suddenly asked, causing Nial to feel a little bit confused.

He knew that his father was doing much better than before based on the way he talked but Nial didn\'t expect his father to be ready to start teasing his son.

"Then go for it!" Nial didn\'t like the tension his father was building up. Thus, he shifted his weight from one foot to another in an effort to calm himself as he waited for his father to answer.

"The Royal Princess told me to tell you that you are hereby allowed to use the portal to Yggdrassil whenever you want! You can come to Yggdrasil to study if you wish to do so or to use Yggdrasil\'s lifeforce to turn it to your advantage.

I don\'t really know what all of that means but she said that you would know that Yggdrasil has given you even more permission to do things than most Elves had ever gotten since the sacred tree came into existence!" Miles forwarded the message and Nial noticed the excitement in his father\'s voice even though he was ignorant about the weight of his words.

"Eh…okay, but no thanks!"
