Chapter 48 - 37 My Goddess
Rod’s biggest worry was that, in the end, the investigation would reveal that he himself was the murderer.
To avoid the tragedy of having killed himself, he must first ascertain the truth.
Only then would he possibly survive this crisis.
That was why the First Level "Goldenworth Star" award was a must-have.
Only by leaving the academy would he be able to conduct his investigation, verify the clues he’d obtained, find more backers, and plunder more souls.
The academy’s combat courses had deadlines; once they were over, the source of souls would be cut off again.
When the supply of souls was interrupted, the stars would gradually extinguish, his strength would decline, his value would decrease, and a chain reaction would ensue, ending either in being interrogated and soul-extracted as a discard or dying from an invasion in the dream realm.
Therefore, he not only needed to seize enough souls during this chance but also to understand the mechanism of the Obelisk and the secrets within the dream realm.
