Staring at the sin points, Vritra did the math of how he was going to spend his sin points.

He still wasn't sure that to increase his level further from the general rank, would he need to just increase the comprehension of one of his fields or all.

"Well, I do have enough sin points for either case." Vritra said, a smile spreading across his face as he stared at the big number.

{Sin Points: 689,434,932}

The number was over twice as big as the last time already, with that amount he could increase the comprehension of his fields at once.

"And then my level would finally increase, but that's still not enough to face all opponents, so I need to sacrifice the biggest star of my show."

Vritra mumbled as he gazed at Raelion, who lay over the ground, wounded and broken.

"Wifey, can killing him, along with all the experience points I have gotten before, boost me to the Lord rank?" Vritra questioned.

The difference between the general rank and Lord rank was immense.

He still didn't even know what level the Lord rank actually belonged to.

"Yes, it should be enough, but you are different from me or anyone I have ever met, so I can't say surely for you."

Yasmine spoke, as she materialized beside him in her human-like form.

"In any case, getting those levels will surely boost my strength."

Vritra mumbled and approached Raelion, who didn't even have the strength to beg.

"Any last words?" Vritra asked, his figure towering over the fallen lord.

"I…"

BANG

Suddenly, a kick to the head destroyed Raelion's skull, turning it into minced meat.

"Haa, scum like you don't deserve to say any last words. I can't even say may your soul burn in hell, after all, someone here is ready to gobble you up entirely."

Vritra said, as the dark knight's figure rose from under his shadow.

An endless dark flame burned around its body, its armor looking terrifying.

"Kill him." Vritra ordered as he cleaned his feet against the ground and stood back, watching as the dark knight pulled its long sword.

Raelion, being a demon lord, had very strong vitality and soul. He wouldn't die so easily, and if Vritra was not being careful, then he just might have escaped.

The long sword turned into a blur as the knight moved at extreme speed, cutting Raelion's body into tiny pieces until his physical body was destroyed beyond repair.

His soul instantly tried to leave, but just a thought from Vritra was enough to lock him up.

Vritra's soul was already at the Lord rank, although just at the entry level, but for now, it was enough.

Instantly, the dark knight began to devour it, absorbing the enormous energy from each bite it took.

Despite having destroyed Raelion's physical body, no notification of the kill popped in front of Vritra.

A Lord could only be killed once even their soul had been destroyed.

"This is going to take a while. Knight needs more time to completely devour him." Vritra thought, looking at the sight before him.

Very soon, he would have a Lord-ranked soul wraith.

Only at moments like these did Nihilanima's true worth display itself.

"While they are busy playing, I can start increasing my comprehension." Vritra thought and opened his Field palette.

The one closest to 50% was Dust Manipulation, so to test his doubt, Vritra decided to make it reach the threshold.

{Palette Droplet: 23}

Vritra quickly spent forty-six million sin points and purchased 23 Palette Droplets, then he sat down and began to use the droplets.

{Used 1 Palette Droplet}

{Increasing the comprehension of Dust Manipulation!}

{Dust Manipulation: 28%}

Instantly, a large amount of information began to enter his mind. Vritra slowly began to use one droplet after another on Dust Manipulation.

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

…

{Increasing Dust Manipulation comprehension!}

{Increasing Dust Manipulation comprehension!}

{Increasing Dust Manipulation comprehension!}

…

{Dust Manipulation: 29%}

{Dust Manipulation: 30%}

{Dust Manipulation: 31%}

…

{Dust Manipulation: 50%}

As the comprehension reached 50%, Vritra felt a big qualitative leap in his understanding and the power of Dust Manipulation.

All those sin points were well spent; Dust Manipulation's power had grown significantly.

But unfortunately, even still, he didn't gain all the experience points that were on pause.

Which could only mean that his speculations were right — he needed to increase the comprehension of all his fields to at least 50%.

"Well, that is fine too. I certainly have enough sin points, sigh, let's start." Vritra was sure his mind was going to hurt so badly after absorbing so much information at once.

He even used Null to change the time speed for him so he wouldn't end up spending too much time inside the dimensional book.

{Palette Droplet: 305}

{Sin Points: 33,434,932}

Vritra purchased a lot of Palette Droplets in bulk as the big number of sin points quickly decreased.

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

…

{Increasing Null comprehension!}

{Increasing Null comprehension!}

…

{Null: 21%}

{Null: 22%}

…

And just like that, both Vritra and the dark knight got busy with their tasks, their strength growing rapidly.

If people were to know the field comprehension could increase so rapidly and easily, they would go mad.

"Haa, and I was called one of the biggest geniuses for comprehending my field to 100% at that young age."

Yasmine thought, but she was still under twenty and did it rather quickly, so she didn't really feel bad seeing it.

Minutes turned into hours and hours turned into days, as nearly two days had passed.

But with Null's high comprehension, Vritra's grip over time became even stronger, so outside, it should still be the night of the same day.

But close to morning.

On the other hand, Hellmancer was also quite close to devouring the soul of the demon lord.

With Vritra being close, it didn't really have to worry about getting exploded.

Not only did it have a large supply of mana, but Vritra could pause the process midway whenever things became dangerous using Null.

…

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

{Used 1 Palette Droplet!}

…

{Increasing Radioactive comprehension!}

{Increasing Radioactive comprehension!}

…

{Radioactive: 49%}

{Radioactive: 50%}

Some more time passed, and Raelion was finally dead, as several messages flashed before Vritra.

[You have killed a Level 30,036 Demon Lord.]

[Exp Gained!]

[Exp Gained!]

[Exp Gained!]

…

[You have levelled up!]

[You have levelled up!]

[You have levelled up!]

…

Finally, the message that Vritra had been waiting to see popped in front of him, just as he finished increasing the comprehension of all his fields to 50%.

Vritra stretched his arms, rubbing his head, feeling quite the headache as he got up.

He glanced back and looked at Dark Knight's status; the figure of the knight had become extremely terrifying.

Just standing there put great pressure on the surroundings, its eyes glowing with a terrifying light.

『

[Dark Knight]

[Level: 30,036]

』

"Nice, you did great." Vritra praised, as the knight knelt before him, speaking in a heavy tone, "Thank you, master."

'Would be great if I can feed a Lord-ranked creature to Hellmancer too.'

Vritra thought as he dismissed the knight with a wave of his hand, as the creature of the night returned to his shadow.

Finally, Vritra opened his own status and read it from top to bottom, sighing as he observed his improvements.
