My bloodline yearns for progress.

Chapter 77 Level Advancement

Tessa's task was simple: to cast the Law Seal.

However, Tessa's spell was not cast on the rotting vines, but on the three adventurers, including herself.

They were going to stay here for a while, and to avoid being corrupted by the curse and miasma, Tessa immediately used the Lawful Seal to minimize the damage.

With the law in place, it's difficult for those negative elements to corrupt them.

"However, as you know, the effect of the Law Seal only lasts for one day, and at my current level, I cannot cast the seal on the same target consecutively. You'd better hurry up."

Tessa urged Otto not to delay as much as possible.

Otto, of course, understood the seriousness of the problem and, without delay, quickly raised his hand and slapped the rock wall.

The Soul Purifying Flame was immediately triggered.

Otto felt his magic power being consumed little by little.

Under the influence of the Lamplight Eye, Otto unexpectedly witnessed the spread of the Soul Purifying Flame.

It was a wondrous sight, as if Otto himself were the spark, the source of the heat.

The heat distorted the void, slowly devouring everything around it!

The rotten roots touched by the heat of the Soul-Purifying Fire silently began to burn!

Otto had previously recalculated that after becoming a Fire Seed Guardian, he could sustain the use of the Eye of Light for approximately twenty minutes.

Within those twenty minutes, the heat from those Soul-Purifying Fire Seeds had already spread to most of the valley!

While purifying the filth, they also use the energy of the filth they consume as their driving force to continue expanding!

Just as night fell, Otto used the Soul Purifying Fire to purify the entire valley!

At this moment, Otto's understanding of the Iron Guardian of Fire and the Purifying Fire deepened.

As a result, the level has been elevated.

[Fire Seed Iron Guard upgraded to LV2]

[The Soul-Purifying Flame has been upgraded to LV3]

【Agility 4+1】

After using the entire valley as his training ground, Otto not only raised his extraordinary profession by one level, but also raised the Purifying Soul Fire Seed by two levels!

The Purifying Soul Flame, which normally remains unmanifested, has now ignited a small orange flame on Otto's finger, accompanied by an increase in his level.

This also gave Otto some understanding of extraordinary professions.

Simply accumulating proficiency won't elevate his level; what he needs to do is deepen his understanding of the profession.

"We must delve deeper into the essence of the Fire Seed Iron Guard."

Just as Otto was pondering how to better deepen the level of his extraordinary profession, Tessa excitedly jumped up and down beside him.

"I think I've made a breakthrough!"

Tessa could sense that as she cast the Law Seal to resist the curse and miasma, her own level was also elevated.

Seeing Tessa's excited expression, Goren, standing behind them, patiently explained to Otto, the newbie.

"The changes in levels are difficult to describe in words; it's a feeling, the texture of growth."

Furthermore, if you elevate an extraordinary profession to perfection, then at the moment of perfection, information about the next stage of the extraordinary path will manifest.

However...

Goren was only one step away from achieving the pinnacle of his extraordinary profession, so he consulted Micah on a lot of knowledge, including information about advancement.

Goren originally intended to teach this knowledge to the two of them after he had verified it himself, but seeing Tessa's level improving, he decided to tell them now.

"However, you should note that the next stage of the manifested profession is only one of the options."

If you are not satisfied with it, you can also look for other suitable professions at the same level.

However, there are limitations to the types of jobs you can change to, a point you will soon understand as you progress through your training.

Goren simply wanted to remind them that the path to transcendence holds infinite possibilities, and that they shouldn't let themselves be bound by what's in front of them.

But just as Goren was about to say something more, something unexpected happened.

The large cocoon woven from vines has stirred!

A pair of large, fair hands slowly tore open the callus.

A tall figure slowly walked out.

She was completely naked, her long, dark green hair cascading down her back like waves, giving her a very lively appearance.

She was pretty and looked like a girl from a noble family, but her dark green eyes were lifeless, as if she were dead.

After emerging from the cocoon, the girl simply peeled off the dead skin that hadn't completely fallen off her body while checking on everyone to confirm her condition.

"Goren, did you clean up the filth in the valley?"

Upon hearing this, Goren immediately sensed something was amiss.

Although her appearance had changed somewhat, her voice sounded familiar to Goren; it must be Sabrina.

"What happened here?"

Why is it piled with rotting vines?

And you, what's wrong with your body?

Countless questions filled Goren's heart, but as the elder, Iron Fist knew that what the girl in front of him needed most was care.

Therefore, while expressing his doubts, he took out some clothes from his spatial pocket and handed them to Sabrina.

Seeing this, Sabrina simply explained to the group while putting on her clothes.

"These are the remains of carnivorous vines."

I originally planned to wait until after my transformation, then return to the camp and have a priest or shaman skilled in purification handle it.

Although Sabrina killed the carnivorous vines, like Tessa, she did not gain the ability to purify things, so she had to ask others for help.

But Tessa vehemently denied Sabrina's explanation.

"According to you, the entire valley was probably covered by flesh-eating vines. How did you kill them?"

Moreover, even if all the carnivorous vines are eliminated, what about the core vine clusters?

Tessa felt that the rude woman in front of her must be lying!

But Otto sensed something was amiss.

Is it because of the goddess of disease and plague?

Is that why you deliberately joined the Rabbit Foot Squad?

Perhaps Joel was injured so that he wouldn't come along.

Upon hearing this, Sabrina paused briefly in her dressing, as if touched by Otto's words, but she quickly resumed speaking.

"I am a servant of Entana, following divine decree to cleanse the world of its ills."

Those clumps of vines became my nourishment.

Sabrina clearly avoided questions about Joel.

After getting dressed, Sabrina pointed to the valley.

"As payment for purifying the valley, those things are yours."

After Sabrina finished speaking, she immediately prepared to walk into the valley, signaling everyone to follow, and also explained the true nature of the reward.

"The giant tree in the valley was used by the primal gods and became a source of disease. It is now dead, but the vessel does have considerable worldly value."
