The ascent of the SSS rank primordial of corruption-Chapter 38: Lady Vermont

Immediately after calling for David, Ethan bought some simple clothes from the corruption store and quickly dressed Victoria before hugging her tightly.

[Victoria’s corruption has broken the first stage, advancing to a new level, rewards are available for redemption].

[You have completed the quest: An unholy ritual, your rewards are ready to be redeemed at any time]

"Good..." Ethan muttered and while waiting for David, decided to take a look at his status.

[Name: Ethan DarkHeart

Race: ????

Lineage: Blood of the Black Dragon (lvl 2)

Talent: SSS+

Stage: Foundation (1/3)

Corruption store points: 1350

Soul mates: 0/2

Wives: 0/15

Lovers: 2/40]

[Upgrades:

Your ’Blood of the Black Dragon (lvl 2)’ lineage can be upgraded to ’Blood of the Black Dragon (lvl 3)’.

Price: 100,000 corruption store points}

{Your current cultivation stage ’foundation (1/3)’ can be upgraded to ’Foundation (2/3)’.

Price: 15.000 points from the corruption store}

{Your bloodline skill: Eyes of the Black Dragon can be activated.

Price: 5,000 points from the corruption shop}]

"Can the eyes of the black dragon be active now? I’ll have to take a look at that later..." Ethan’s eyes studied the statuses carefully, and he almost smiled as he realized how powerful he had already become, but something was wrong.

"System... where are my damn corruption store points? I should have tens of thousands of points!" Arthur questioned.

[I’m limited to helping you as much as your corruption store points allow, when I saved your life, I deducted the discount costs and your corruption store points went negative. I took the liberty of collecting part of the rewards you received as payment for the negative points.

But don’t worry, the rewards for increasing Victoria’s corruption to the second stage have not been reduced].

"Ah... What does this second stage of corruption even mean?" Ethan muttered as he tried to erase his discontent with the system.

[There are three stages of corruption, at each of which the corrupted person’s intimacy with you increases even more.

At the peak of the first stage, the corrupted woman will be totally loyal to you and will never give her body to any other man.

At the peak of the second stage, the corrupted will see you as the only beacon on a dark road and will willingly die for you.

At the peak of the third stage, corruption transforms the corrupted into a complete fanatic whose feelings for you go beyond the limits of love].

"I understand..." Ethan muttered, before finally retrieving his rewards.

Immediately, he saw his corruption points skyrocket, stopping just short of fifty thousand.

Seeing that number, Ethan’s eyes lit up immediately, but his happiness was soon cut off by the system.

[Don’t be too happy with such numbers, these numbers scale according to the strength and lineage of the target, you’ve received fat rewards because Victoria’s new lineage is extremely powerful, you won’t be so lucky with most of the other mistresses you may have].

Hearing the system’s discouraging words, Ethan just shook his head before focusing on Victoria once more.

Her faint breathing had stabilized slightly, but he could still feel that her heartbeat was much weaker than normal and that even the weakest of disturbances in her inner energy would lead to her death.

[Name: Victoria Whitemane

Lineage: Elrilith’s Apprentice (1/10)

Talent: S

Race: Human

Age: 32

Stage: Awakening (1/3)

Horniness: 0%

Corruption: 101/1000]

[Victoria Whitemane can be elevated to the rank of wife.]

"The talent has gone up so much..." Ethan muttered, but what really caught his attention was a strangely familiar name.

"Elrilith... Elrilith... Elrilith..." Ethan repeated this name to himself several times as he tried to remember where he knew it from, until a title finally sounded in his head.

"The spear of Elrilith! A primordial!" Ethan’s eyes widened and his voice filled with surprise. "How can something like that exist in a place like this?" he asked.

Elrilith was the owner of the blade that was now embedded in Seraphar’s chest.

[I can’t say much about it, but Elrilith had tens of thousands of apprentices, this is probably the weakened fragment of one of those apprentices].

"A weakened fragment of an apprentice? Even with an S-rank talent?"

[The ranks from F to SSS are known as mortal ranks, note that there was a change in the rank of your talent as you went up the level of your bloodline, this is the end point of the mortal ranks, in addition there will be the ranks- {Access denied}]

"I see..." Ethan sighed as he looked at his status once again and realized that there was a plus sign right in front of his lineage.

He didn’t quite understand what it meant, but as he circulated the mana through his body, he immediately noticed an improvement in his ease of mana comprehension.

He would like to try to test his limits a little more, but he soon heard heavy footsteps coming towards him as dozens of figures led by a dignified and powerful-looking man burst into the room.

David, who was leading the group, looked around with a worried expression, his eyes circling from the suspended cells carrying empty clothes and dried blood to Gobini’s corpse and finally to the figure of Ethan and the woman he was carrying in his arms.

David only needed that brief glance to fully understand what was happening there and hurried towards Ethan.

Next to David was an elderly woman, whose aura was only slightly inferior to his own.

"Lord David, can you help her? We managed to stop Gobini’s ritual but she ended up getting caught in the crossfire..."

Ethan stood up quickly, not even trying to hide anything from David. He knew full well that trying to hide anything from such a powerful man was foolish.

David heard Ethan’s words, but didn’t act immediately.

Instead, he made room for the elderly woman next to him.

"This is Lady Vermont, one of the most famous healers in the Eternal Isles, she is under my service..." He introduced the woman, whose name was already well known to Ethan.

Especially since she was known for serving only the most powerful and influential families in the Eternal Isles, including being one of the king’s personal healer.
