The air in the ravaged clearing hung thick and still, the faint scent of blood and ozone mingling with the oppressive gloom of the Dark Forest.
Daniel stood calmly, his A-Grade [Voidwalk] making him a mere distortion in the shadows, as the essences of the fallen flowed towards him, drawn by the irresistible vortex of his Tier 2 [Soul Assimilation].
First, the beasts. The Silver-Horned Rhino, despite its D-Grade potential and being only Level 12, had clearly been a powerhouse of vitality.
Its essence surged into Daniel, a wave of raw, grounding strength.
[Soul Assimilation successful on Creature: Silver-Horned Rhino (Level 12).]
[Gain: Strength +105, Vitality +178, Adaptability +32.]
[Combat EXP Gained: 600!]
[Level 6 : 1196/2800 EXP]
[Assimilation Charge Consumed (29/30 Remaining).]
Next, the Silver-Green Sand Beast, Level 11, its essence carrying a surprising nimbleness despite its burrowing nature.
