Awakened Talent: 10,000 Exp Converter!

In the next instant, the hostile eyes of the Gossakan Boars lost their luster, transforming into fanatic gazes as though they were worshipping their god.

One by one, the Gossakan Boars bent low, lowering their sturdy limbs and massive heads to the ground.

They prostrated themselves before him, displaying absolute submission, their actions a clear testament to the overwhelming power that had overtaken them.

Vincent's wide eyes betrayed his astonishment. He could hardly believe what he was seeing, yet the evidence was right before him.

He could inexplicably understand their emotions, their thoughts—an unshakable loyalty towards him, no matter the command.

Even the most extreme order—like instructing them to end their own lives—would be met with unquestioning compliance.

That was the terrifying effectiveness of Mental Domination!

It could turn affected targets into his dead-loyal subordinates.

"This could turn the tide of any situation… especially on a battlefield. This is really great!"

The potential of the skill was far beyond anything he had imagined. Though its cooldown time of 60 minutes might seem limiting at first, he knew this drawback could be minimized as he upgraded the ability and increased its proficiency.

Additionally, if combined strategically with his Phantom Veil skill, it could drastically alter the course of battle and provide a critical edge against any foe. It was no exaggeration to call it a game-changing power.

He truly liked it!

However, there was one notable limitation. The Gossakan Boars, now fully loyal to him, could not be taken out of the Tower.

Otherwise, he would have considered forming an unstoppable army of mental-energy-wielding primal beasts!

Resigned to this reality, Vincent ultimately gave them a final, absolute command—to end their own lives.

The creatures obeyed without hesitation.

[You have successfully cleared the 2nd Level of Tier 2 Challenge!]

[You have received 100 Tower Points!]

Talent Activated!

+1,000,000 Tower Points!

A million Tower Points popping into his inventory was enough to make Vincent smile gleefully.

The sheer satisfaction of seeing those points accumulate never ceased to thrill him.

For him, there was one clear implication of having such a massive reserve of points—it was hoarding time!

Without wasting a moment, Vincent moved on to browse the available Epic-grade items.

Since there were no more Epic-grade skills left in the skill section, he skipped it for now and instead focused on the other categories.

Without hesitation, he began exchanging points for every Epic-grade item he could find.

Altogether, he had spent a total of 200,000 Tower Points, and though he hadn't yet scrutinized every aspect of the items, he was already brimming with excitement.

It was four Epic-grade items after all!

He quickly stored the Elixir of Mental Fortification for future use, then turned his attention to the Astral Crown.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes as he examined the Astral Crown.

To put it simply, the Astral Crown was a thin circlet with a silver sheen and a faint blue hue, made from the rare Lunarium Metal. Embedded at its center was a diamond-shaped Lunar Crystal that seemed to pulse faintly with an abundance of mental energy.

Awestruck by its versatility, Vincent placed the Astral Crown on his head. To his surprise and delight, the crown became invisible the moment it was worn, though its presence remained tangible.

"This is perfect! I won't look ridiculous walking around with a crown on my head in public," Vincent thought with relief, glad that he wouldn't draw unnecessary attention.

Next, his focus turned to the Astral Rune.

True to its name, it resembled a faintly glowing azure diamond-shaped rune, appearing almost like a star suspended in the night sky.

Once again, Vincent was astounded by the skills of an Epic-grade accessory!

"Now, how do I equip this…?"

Just as he was wondering, the Astral Rune shone briefly before embedding itself into his temple. Moments later, it settled within his consciousness.

"How can this be an accessory? It's inside my consciousness!"

Setting aside his bewilderment, he inspected the final armament he had acquired.

It was a plain-looking sword with a blade that split into two distinct colors: black and white, separated vertically. Although simple in appearance, it emitted a calming aura that soothed his mind.
