Chapter 114: Death Lord Roman
Roman was overwhelmed, looking at the treasures he was receiving. Among them were unique skills and a legendary-grade accessory.
"Don't worry, you'll eventually get used to it," Roselia patted his shoulder and said, as Roman looked at her, hearing her words. He just nodded, understanding that it's normal for Leon to give them things.
Finally, Leon took out the Blood Magus Legacy.
"You can have this," Leon said. "Your race is now Death Lord, so this legacy will suit you more."
Roman hesitated for a moment, then respectfully accepted the legacy.
[ You have donated the Blood Magus Legacy. ]
[ You have gained the Blood Magus King Legacy. ]
Leon's system chimed in, updating him on the unexpected reward. He smirked, realizing his generosity had brought him something even better.
"Another legacy. At this rate, I'll collect a whole lot of them before I even leave the first floor," Leon muttered, already curious about the new legacy's potential.
Roman, meanwhile, stood silent, bowing deeply to Leon in gratitude. "My lord, I will ensure these gifts are used to their fullest potential," Roman said with unwavering determination.
Leon simply waved his hand, brushing off the formality. "Just make sure you don't die. Now, let's move on. We've wasted enough time here." Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire
Roselia once again summoned the mounts, blowing the whistle as she climbed onto hers with Leon sitting behind her. Roman took another mount this time, catching everyone's attention.
"I have my own mount," Roman said, whistling loudly. In response, a magnificent nightmare steed materialized. Its mane burned with dark blue flames, giving it a hauntingly beautiful and ominous appearance.
"That's great," Leon remarked, admiring the creature.
Roman nodded with a faint smile. "This was my horse when I was alive, and it has stayed with me even after I became undead. We share an unbreakable bond."
Leon nodded back in understanding. "Good. Let's keep moving then. We've got a lot more to do."
Leon sitting behind check what he missed as well as Roman status screen as they moved on from the mosti to tom.
[No Salvation for the Wicked]
[While facing someone who has committed heinous crimes, your attack power increases by 10%, while theirs decreases by 50%.]
"That's like being a nightmare for most people out there," Leon mumbled, noting the skill's effect as he continued scrolling down.

"Now that's just broken," Leon muttered, his eyes widening as he read the description. "One swing and everything's gone... and it just keeps getting stronger? This is insane."
Continuing he looked at his skills.

Description:
[A Powerful Knight Commander of the White Lion Knights]
Once a revered leader, he was renowned for his unmatched skill and unwavering loyalty. However, his greatest failure came when he was unable to save his lady, a loss that drove him to despair. He knelt before her grave for millions of years, his appearance preserved by an enchanting curse, concealing the immense darkness and sorrow within.
Freed from his torment by Ascender Fang, he has sworn an unbreakable vow to serve as his knight, carrying his haunting past but now driven by newfound purpose under his command. ]
"Damn, he's better than Roselia," Leon muttered, earning a sharp look from Roselia.
"Who's better than me?" she demanded, raising an eyebrow.
"Roman," Leon replied with a shrug. "He has so many EX-rank skills; he's ridiculously powerful."
Roselia snorted, crossing her arms. "I admit he's strong, but are you saying he's better than me?"
Leon nodded thoughtfully. "In terms of combat prowess, yeah. He has more skills suited for direct battle. I wonder who'd win if you two went all out now," he said, giving her a curious glance.
Roselia smirked. "Don't forget the legacies you've given me, as well as all the items and abilities I've gained from you. If we're equal now, then I'll win."
Leon chuckled, nodding. "Maybe, though I doubt that," he muttered under his breath.
He knew Roselia was just teasing, but deep down, he understood the difference. While she was primarily an alchemist with a vast arsenal of magical abilities and expertise, she wasn't a fighter at her core. Roman, on the other hand, was a knight through and through, forged for combat and ready to face any challenge head-on.
Roselia had recently gained the Battle Magus class, a significant upgrade for someone who had primarily focused on alchemy and magic until now. However, she had only just begun to explore its potential, so comparing her to Roman, who was a seasoned knight with unmatched combat skills, still felt unfair.
Leon didn't say anything further, closing the status screen thoughtfully. Now that I've gained so many new items and abilities, I should probably start optimizing them to get even stronger, he mused.
He also began to consider setting up a friendly sparring match between Roman and Roselia. Both were fiercely loyal to him, so he wouldn't have to worry about rivalry or betrayal. It would be a way for them to grow stronger together while giving him a better understanding of their combat styles.
Still, Leon's mind drifted to darker possibilities. I can't let my guard down completely, though. Abilities like soul reading or memory manipulation exist in this world. Even if I trust them, others might try to use them against me.
