Talent: Pressure—Construct
Talent: Magic Burst Armor—Construct
"Hmm... A bargain-bin version of Conqueror's Haki and a user guide for an explosion?"
Moss opened her eyes atop the carriage and pursed her lips listlessly.
Just as she had expected, there was nothing particularly special about them.
Even a talent like Pressure was a commonplace ability among high-tier combatants.
"The last one. This is the final harvest."
Moss examined the last pure-black magic core in her hand.
She raised it toward the sun and murmured:
"Undead Bird."
On closer inspection, there were actually traces of golden light within the black crystal.
"...Is that sunlight?"
Moss blinked and murmured in slight confusion:
"What kind of talent can an undead magical creature provide?"
Undead belonged to the negative-attribute branch of the soul category.
Naturally, the most valuable possibility was obtaining a talent that could reach the soul.
Although Moss already possessed some ability to use souls, she could only do so by relying on Absolute Domination.
The domination power represented by King of Infinity was far too overbearing. Using it slightly, as she had before, had nearly cost her half her life. It was far beyond what Moss could control at present.
"If I can obtain a talent for controlling souls through this, that wouldn't be bad..."
As Moss spoke, a look of interest flashed through her eyes.
The ability to manipulate souls should prove quite useful in her future development!
Although it was impossible to reach the desired level right away, she would need time and effort to explore it.
But thinking of it that way, this was practically the grand prize among the three magic cores.
"...In that case, there's no time to waste!"
After thinking it over, Moss opened her mouth without hesitation and bit down on the black magic core.
Crack!
