out another scroll and sealed the place completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Iz’s scrolls really were convenient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrolls allowed people who couldn’t cast magic to use magical effects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the power of a scroll, it depended entirely on the person who created it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scrolls left behind by Iz Palt...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was probably no way to buy something like that on the open market.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sealing the location securely,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two of them proceeded to clear dozens of dungeons together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill as a reliable source of souls, Rei became far more extravagant with his sacrifices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he always worried about sacrificing too many souls and running out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though weaker monsters would multiply,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the return still rarely covered the cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>whenever they encountered a Tier-4 dungeon, Rei would immediately sacrifice 50,000 souls in one go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the efficiency decayed, so be it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The point was simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had souls to spare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei had tried sacrificing 100,000 souls once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the diminishing returns were simply too severe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only twelve Nation-Destroyer–class monsters were created.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Double the sacrifice—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet only two more monsters appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was far too inefficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming out with Akasei had unquestionably been the right choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Rei had tried to kill these Tier-4 Nation-Destroyer monsters himself,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he would have been exhausted to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with a Level-6 warrior leading the way—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei simply followed behind and collected the rewards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person opened the path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other harvested the profit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their division of labor was crystal clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, the two of them had cleared every Tier-4 dungeon throughout the Thousand Caves of the Distant Frontier region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A total of 56 Tier-4 dungeons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The materials they obtained were worth over 120 million gold coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Split evenly—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>each person received 60 million.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei stared at his storage space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mountains of materials had piled up like towering hills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We really struck it rich.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, even after searching for months, adventurers might not encounter a single Nation-Destroyer monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each run yielded ten of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In remote wilderness areas rarely touched by humans, it was possible for wild Tier-4 or Tier-5 monsters to appear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even reaching the King-class level was already extremely rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone Nation-Destroyer level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While those monsters posed immense danger to humanity—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>they were also incredibly difficult to find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Tier-5 dungeons were hard to locate under normal circumstances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, Rei visited several Tier-3 dungeons to experiment with new ideas using souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul Sacrifice could also directly enhance monsters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after enhancement, the monster still didn’t obey his control, and its tier or rank couldn’t be raised directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rewards didn’t increase either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was basically equivalent to casting something like a Berserk buff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, it seemed fairly useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill, they also encountered several monsters that appeared exclusively during the War Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of them possessed abilities comparable to the ant hill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After numerous experiments,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the sun gradually sank toward the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had to evaluate the day—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>this had been the most satisfying hunt Akasei had ever experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only unfortunate thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t the Harvest Moon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were the Harvest Moon—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their gains would have multiplied several times over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei shared the same thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once you experienced the Harvest Moon even once,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>you would never forget that sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting together on a hillside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei grinned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Celebrate a bit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But before that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me collect the souls first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei brought Rei back to the sealed location.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei opened the sealed gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a black swarm of ants surged toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A raging wave of flames instantly surged inward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sea of fire clung to every inch of the cave entrance, pushing forward as it burned everything inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei’s soul count skyrocketed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, sacrificing the 56 Tier-4 dungeons had consumed 2.8 million souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>in just a few moments, the loss was completely recovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Souls — 10,000,000」「Souls — 20,000,000」「Souls — 30,000,000」「Souls — 35,220,000」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such a short time,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>more than thirty million black ants had already been born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Thousand-Legion Ant Hill truly lived up to its reputation as a Nation-Destroyer monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If allowed to grow freely in the outside world for a while,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it would eventually produce hundreds of millions of ants—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a limitless army that would blanket the skies and earth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>impossible to exterminate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>capable of erasing entire nations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>while the quantity of these black ants was enormous,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>their quality was extremely low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strongest ants produced were only Tier-3.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>if the ant hill could produce higher-tier ants, it would be utterly terrifying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strength difference between Tier-4 and Tier-3 monsters was simply too vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But... hasn’t the monster tide around here grown thinner again?\" Rei asked while scanning the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei also looked up toward the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Thousand-Legion Ant Hill actually has that kind of effect, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei nodded thoughtfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe that’s actually a good thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the monster tide in a region grew too dense, they could place the Thousand-Legion Ant Hill there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would convert the dense monster tide into low-tier black ants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it would prevent powerful monsters from forming within the tide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Biological pest control?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>after the monster tide became thinner,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the ant hill’s production speed slowed somewhat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, this was the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Monster tides replenished themselves as quickly as air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no need to worry too much.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as it continued producing black ants,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>its output would never be too slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this rate,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>over the next few days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>harvesting hundreds of millions of souls should be effortless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The souls of these black ants were classified as:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tier: Nearly Puppet-Like Empty Spirituality\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was probably the lowest possible category.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei experimented by not activating Exalted Soul, using only the ants’ original soul energy to ignite Soul Explosion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nothing exploded in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was comparable to a silent fart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not even a sound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when using Exalted Soul, a 1-soul Soul Explosion could instantly snap the trunk of a giant tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of raw power,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it surpassed ordinary Tier-2 spells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>10 souls only produced five times the power of 1 soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>100 souls produced roughly twenty-five times the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1,000 souls produced around seventy-five times the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>5,000 souls produced only about 150 times the power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although increasing the number of souls did increase the damage,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the diminishing returns were obvious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were clearly many subtleties regarding how souls could be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an ordinary Death Priest wanted to explore those secrets...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>how many people would they need to kill just for experimentation?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collect the souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seal the chamber again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tomorrow—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he would return to harvest new souls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After returning to the City Within the Circle, Rei stretched his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What a bountiful harvest today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Akasei, shouldn’t we go sell the goods at the Adventurers’ Guild?\" Rei asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei replied casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you talking about? There’s no way the Adventurers’ Guild could swallow a shipment that large.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’re going to a specialized merchant consortium.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within their Legendary Adventuring Party, Akasei had always been responsible for handling loot sales.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he was the gatherer of the team.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of thing was his specialty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Myriad Goods Consortium]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rei remembered seeing their sign earlier on the street—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Myriad Goods Emporium.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apparently they sold literally everything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The guard at the entrance opened the door for Akasei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akasei strode inside confidently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve come to sell goods.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The merchant hall glittered with gold and crystal, exuding an atmosphere of dignified luxury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the owner heard the familiar voice,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he hurried out from somewhere inside,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>greeting them with great respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Akasei!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s been a long time since you honored us with your presence!
