Chapter 2318: Postponed Indefinetely

This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl

The magma cocoon was absorbed into Malki’s slimmer abdomen. That turned his abdomen into bubbling magma. His silver blade turned into bright orange, matching the magma color. So did his transparent wings; the thin black lines turned into bright orange.

Aside from her color and abdomen made of magma, there was a small crowd made of magma as well, floating above his head. The last change was his height, now reaching four meters tall, and his blade also got longer, almost three meters long.

[Malki the High-Rank Archaic Spirit has advanced to the Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit!]

[Malki receives a new title, Malki the Primal Invictaor!]

Tang Shaoyang pushed the notification to Vandir before the skeleton could ask. Zara and Avyn were curious as well. They came together to see the new title.

"Invictaor? This is the first time I heard it... You truly never fail to surprise me, Boss!"

Tang Shaoyang was convinced now that Vandir was unusually chatty today. That made him wonder if the Death King schemed something. It was like his daughters when they wanted something, but didn’t want to be direct. They talked a lot, non-stop.

His daughters would start complimenting him, then start sending hints after. If he didn’t get the hints, they would bring up an unnecessary topic that he didn’t understand. Vandir was exactly the same as his daughters now.

But of course there was a difference between the two. The difference was that he didn’t mind listening to his daughters even until his ears fell off. He would be happy for that, and that was not the case for Vandir.

"How is it? Do you see a vision like others? Is there any implication that I need to know?"

"I am fine, Master. There’s no real complication aside from being overwhelmed with my new power," Malki answered with a clear voice and assured his Master there was no complication. "I do have a vision, but it’s a vision showing me the background of my new species, Invictaor."

"That’s good... So do you need to go back to stabilize your newly gained power?"

"That would be best for me, Master."

Malki nodded and disappeared, going back to the Spirit World. He was the fifteenth advanced spirit to reach the Pinnacle-Rank Archaic Spirit.

Tang Shaoyang glanced toward the remaining materials. Malki used more than half of what was left from Artras’s advancement. Malki used around three-quarters of the materials, leaving a little bit over a quarter.

"That’s not enough for the next advancement," Vandir said in his mind. "That’s it for today, I guess. I have my fun and get a few ideas that I might try. But do summon me when we go for the mission, Boss. I want to see our new friend’s ability. Maybe they will inspire me again just like today."

Vandir returned on his own after saying his piece. He was genuinely satisfied with the advancement and seemed to go back to work immediately.

"We will stay!" Avyn and Zara said at the same time.

Tang Shaoyang was not surprised to hear that. They were fond of his daughters even though they were not blood-related. His daughters also liked the two women because these two spoiled them so much.

Avyn once transformed into her true form just because Tang Xiulan wanted to see her true form. That caused a big commotion because of how big her true form was. The same with Zara, who often created a portal gate just for his daughters to play with it.

They knew the first thing he did was to meet up with his daughters. That was why they wanted to stay out. It was not really a concern to maintain them outside with his current total energy. His Energy Regeneration easily covered the cost to maintain them outside.

Tang Shaoyang nodded and checked his Spirit Energy. He would get extra Spirit Energy each time he did Spirit Summoning as well as Spirit Advancement. When there was a sacrifice involved with his main class, it would increase his Spirit Energy.

The difference was that he would get less Spirit Energy from advancement, and he would get more from Spirit Summoning. Especially when he summoned a high-ranked spirit.

"Twenty-four million Spirit Energy... Do you think this is for Spirit Resurrection?" He asked the two women.

"I don’t think that’s enough, but you can try. It’s like you will lose something from trying the skill, no?" Zara’s words made sense.

Karoen the Void Knight was the spirit with the strongest desire to be resurrected. He was willing to remain a low-ranked spirit so he could be resurrected.

Karoen ended up agreeing to advance to Archaic Spirit when the other spirits persuaded him. The other spirits persuaded him that he would resurrect stronger, which would allow him to achieve his goal of vengeance after the resurrection. For that reason, he agreed to advance to the High-Rank Archaic Spirit.

Tang Shaoyang attempted the Spirit Resurrection and got a notification from the System.

[You don’t have enough Spirit Energy to use Spirit Resurrection on Karoen the Void Knight!]

"That’s still not enough," He shared the news with the girls.

"It’s to be expected. We, Archaic Spirits, are strong even compared to the God Rank. I think you need at least fifty million Spirit Energy, or maybe even more, maybe one hundred million Spirit Energy," Zara responded as if she already expected the skill would fail.

She was not wrong, as it would be absurd to release those Archaic Spirits in the wild with just twenty-four million Spirit Energy.

"We will go through another session of Pinnacle Rank advancement, then I will start summoning more spirits again. I hope you can wait until then, Karoen."

[I would like to be included in that second session, Master. I think you can resurrect me later. I... I want to get stronger...]

Karoen changed his mind after seeing the fifteen spirits advance. He had seen what the Spirit Advancement could achieve, and he wanted it.

"But that means you will delay your resurrection even longer, Karoen. Are you fine with it?"

[Yes, I am fine.]

Karoen’s vengeance was toward the Void Cult. However, he didn’t want Tang Shaoyang to help him. Karoen wanted to do it with his own hand. As for his goal, it was to save his people from the Void Cult.

That was right; Karoen’s home was inside the Void Realm, and they had been battling the Void Cult for a long time. The goal was to return and continue to fight for his home. He died once, but he would come back and do it again. He wanted to protect his home.

Tang Shaoyang has nothing to do with that. He turned toward Zara, and she received the cue. She created a portal gate to go back home. It was the fastest way to return home.

He was about to enter the portal gate when he received a message. He halted his steps because the message was from Ira. She was a Junior Administrator and also his assistant in the Administration, handling all his paperwork. The one who issued the mission under his name was also her.

He saw a glimpse of the message, telling him there was an issue with the mission for tomorrow. This was rare; it had never happened except the first time he posted a mission for the Skywound Realm, where he obtained his God of Martial Class.

"There’s an issue with our mission tomorrow. Let me check it first..." Tang Shaoyang opened the message.

[There’s an issue with tomorrow’s mission, Sir. The mission is postponed indefinitely by the Executive Administrators. I am trying to file an appeal, but the appeal was declined.]

He frowned while reading the message. He had an agreement with the other Executive Administrators to bring different Administrator Teams to each mission, and they would not bother him by posting and taking the same mission all the time. But it seemed there were a few individuals who tried to play a trick on him.

He shared the message with Avyn and Zara. Zara was not surprised, showing no reaction. Avyn had an extreme reaction, and she got annoyed and angry. This greatly upset her, as someone tried to stop her from killing Calamities.

"Let me follow you to the Administrator Space!" Avyn requested.

Zara smiled when she heard it and closed the portal gate. "I was thinking of staying behind, but it seems there will be some fun. Let me join as well."

Tang Shaoyang shrugged and went to the Administrator Space with the two women. The AI that supervised the Administrator didn’t forbid the two spirits.

[Executive Administrator Ebbe Telines requests your presence in the meeting room, Sir! Would you—]

"Send me there!"

He was teleported to the meeting room along with the two women. There were six people in the meeting, but the actual big shots were not here. Clementine, Arion, and Andre were not present.

The familiar face Baba didn’t dare to look at Tang Shaoyang, pretending not to look at him. Ebbe Telines, Harmond, Douma, Valeria Meloda, and Loke Ponteus were present.

"I see what happened here..."
