Chapter 631: Out of the city
A wide smile spread across Ouroboros’s face as he felt the powerful surge of energy and vitality from Decimus Zanis flowing into his flesh and blood, invigorating every cell and pushing his physical form beyond its normal limits.
Decimus had been no ordinary opponent; he was a Peak Sage Tier lifeform, and his mastery over the Law of Shadows had significantly enriched the life essence that Ouroboros now absorbed. The sensation was exhilarating.
"Hahaha, this is incredible!" Ouroboros shouted, unable to hold back his excitement as the newfound strength coursed through him, causing his heart to pound vigorously.
Nearby, Vlad, Jormungandr, and Fafnir exchanged knowing smiles as they observed Ouroboros’s joyous outburst.
Of all the Sky Seed Depravitas, Ouroboros had always possessed the weakest energy reserves. His strength came primarily from his exceptionally resilient and robust physical body. The new influx of vitality from Decimus’s Peak Sage essence had finally elevated him to a new Level. They were genuinely pleased for him, knowing that this boost would dramatically increase Ouroboros’s capabilities in future battles.
Vlad turned his attention away from Ouroboros and carefully began examining Decimus’ space ring, armor, and dagger. Decimus’s armor was very powerful, but the battle against Janus and the Depraivtas left it unserviceable. The dagger was still in good condition and could be sold at a very good price.
Inside the space ring was a multitude of valuable items, including precious weapons, artifacts, and an impressive variety of treasures. However, something unsettling caught Vlad’s keen attention. Many of the weapons and artifacts were stained with traces of dried blood, suggesting a dark history.
"Hmm," Vlad remarked thoughtfully, picking up a helmet with a cut on the back, "It appears Decimus had a rather grim habit. He seemed to keep souvenirs from the victims he killed."
The Depravita of Wrath smiled coldly, a subtle acknowledgment of the irony. Now, the spoils of Decimus’s countless acts of brutality had become rewards for Vlad and his allies. It was a fitting conclusion, one Vlad deeply appreciated.
