Heavenly Path Trial Progress: 100%! Choose Three of Five Grand Prizes! Controlling Lightning Is Now Easier Than Breathing

[Selection complete!]

[Because the extremely rare item "Fragmented Heavenly Soul Lock" exists within the Asahikawa City region, the rewards will include items highly related to it.]

Uesugi Tetsu looked at the notification, then at the Black Chain that appeared scattered across the sky.

"Extremely rare..."

Uesugi Tetsu searched through his memories and found that he had barely ever seen this term in a notification before.

As for notifications related to rewards, he had never seen it at all.

Then he absolutely had to choose a reward related to the Heavenly Soul Lock.

There was no doubt about that.

After making his decision, Uesugi Tetsu continued reading—

[You may choose three of the following five rewards!]

[1. Heavenly Soul Lock: Based on the "Fragmented Heavenly Soul Lock" left behind in the Asahikawa City region, repair it into a complete and completely uncorrupted "Heavenly Soul Lock."

Once bound, the Heavenly Soul Lock's binding target cannot be changed. Its quality will rise along with the bound party's rank.]

So repairing the Heavenly Soul Lock he had smashed to pieces counted as a reward?

No, that wasn't right.

Uesugi Tetsu's gaze sharpened at the words "completely uncorrupted."

That was the key.

Previously, following Guuji Baijin's instructions to "blood-sacrifice" mimics had actually strengthened the Heavenly Soul Lock. No matter how he looked at it, that wasn't normal.

Now that he thought about it, perhaps the Heavenly Soul Lock had already been severely contaminated over the long years by Aragami's Malignant Eye—or by Guuji's Corpse.

That was why, even though the Heavenly Soul Lock in the sky was currently complete, he couldn't use it at all.

With only a slight shift of thought, Uesugi Tetsu had already chosen it. He had coveted the Heavenly Soul Lock for a long time, so he would secure it first
