sacrificed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Souls were sacrificed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the creed of a Death Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death didn’t care about

sacrifice—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What came first was an explosive surge of spiritual feedback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The advancement of a Death Priest brought perhaps the greatest increase in spiritual power among all classes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps it was because he had sacrificed so much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Death Priest Mastery Acquired: Soul Slayer (Exclusive)]All attacks

damage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That matched Rei’s experience during Level-2 Death Priest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During that period, he had indeed focused heavily on killing souls, largely because his talent favored it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides those masteries, he also gained a specialty called:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death Perception\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This ability allowed him to easily detect the presence of corpses and determine:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whether they were truly dead or merely feigning death\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how long they had been dead\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the approximate cause of death\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, sacrifices no longer had to consist solely of souls and corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other items related to death with sufficient value could also be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>magic artifacts saturated with death aura\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>parts of one’s own body\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even personal abilities\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, those costs were extremely steep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a Level-3 Death Priest, sacrificing souls and corpses was almost always the most efficient option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those were obtained by killing others, not harming oneself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This specialty wasn’t very meaningful to Rei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Death Perception was somewhat useful, but still only barely so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then came the most important reward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Talent Acquired: Death Manipulation (Extraordinary) → God-Tier: Necrotic Rebirth]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei exhaled slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Talents were the most important reward of leveling up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God-Tier Talent — Necrotic Rebirth\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any lifeform killed by the user

he had gained control over a small underworld.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The space within it was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei himself could not enter it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world was only accessible to the dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be where his undead army would reside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, he currently had no undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this like the Shadow Army from Solo Leveling?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei didn’t see any restriction on conversion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which meant that anyone he killed could likely be transformed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abilities related to Death always involved undead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei glanced upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A torrent of pollution poured down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to when Yuna advanced—where there had only been a few tadpole-like specks—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was like a waterfall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kumironi’s light enveloped the area completely, protecting the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei raised his hand and cast several Light-attribute purification

pollution—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still couldn’t eliminate it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That made sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If ordinary magic could remove it, people could simply bombard the area with spells during advancements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because his heightened spirituality allowed him to see it didn’t mean magic could actually target it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Rei completed the advancement—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kumironi remained on guard for another ten minutes until the last traces of pollution dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned toward
