But more than the pain, it was the sheer fury that roiled within every fiber of its being at the sight of the Holy Barrier. The Uglyface looked at it as if it was its mortal enemy.

Instantly, with rage and pain fueling its action, the Uglyface balled its hands into fists, raising them high in the air before bringing them down onto the holy barrier furiously.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The sound of flesh pounding against a door rang out as it repeatedly smashed the shield with its fist. Each strike caused a crack to form and widen on the shield, but it also caused the skin and flesh covering its fists to melt away.

Despite this, it didn't stop!

It continued relentlessly hammering the shield.

It was clear that it wouldn't stop until the holy barrier was destroyed, and it seemed like it wouldn't be long before that happened.

After all, the holy barrier already looked on the brink of shattering!

It was the only line of defense between Val, his spirit sword, and the Uglyface. If it shattered, there would be nothing protecting them from the wrath of the devil.

"The shield won't hold for long," Voidslayer urgently pointed out. "If you have a plan, put it into play before it's too late. If not, just run. Get back to the surface. We would at least survive if we get there."



It was still daytime outside, meaning the Sun, the greatest weakness of the Devils was high up in the sky. If Val rushed back the way he came from and the Uglyface chases after it, he would manage to lure the Uglyface into the sun. Once sunlight shines on its body, its strength would diminish, and its injuries would worsen. Not to mention, if Val gets back to the surface, he would finally be able to use his unique bloodline skill that can harm the soul without worries, and killing the Uglyface would become so much easier.

Sure, there would be casualties, which might lead to Val facing repercussions, but hey, at least, he would survive. And nothing was better than living another day. That point was proven long ago when ten million gold bars were offered for a condition but no one accepted it as it required dying the very next day!

"I have a plan," Val said to Voidslayer with an unfathomable calmness.

"You do?" Voidslayer responded in disbelief.

"With my current amount of soul power, I can't deal with an Uglyface," Val admitted. But then what he said shocked the spirit of the ancient cursed sword.

"So, I'll just have to increase it to the point where it will be at my mercy!" Val added.

As if determined to make this daring declaration a reality, Val dumped all his EXP into the wizard class.

Multiple notifications rang in his mind.

[System Notification: You've used 7080 points to level up your wizard class 6 times! You've gained 6 stat points. Congratulations on becoming a low-level wizard, Host! As a reward, you've gained the Soul Power Accumulation Skill!]

[System Notification: The size and strength of your arcane heart have significantly increased. Your soul power reservoir has expanded to 2000 units! With the strengthening of your arcane heart, soul power production has peaked at 20 units per minute!]

That meant Val's arcane heart would produce 2000 units of soul power in just 100 minutes. But Val didn't have the luxury of time. The Uglyface was dangerously close to breaking his shield. He needed to act fast.

The Soul Power Accumulation Skill allowed him to inhale the force of corruption and convert it into soul power. It was like a double-edged sword to a normal wizard. After all, they weren't immune to the pain brought by coming into contact with the force of corruption. If they failed to stand strong in the face of it, they would succumb to corruption and transform into monsters. In Val's case, there was no risk of that happening.

Because of his Unfeeling trait, He was immune to the force of corruption!

His new skill had a significant cooldown, which was comparable to the Mystical Shovel. But using it one time should be enough to fill his arcane heart to the brim. After all, it didn't have an upper limit on how much force of corruption can be converted into soul power on a single use. Combined with Val's skillset, he could abuse it to his heart's content.

He was in a dire situation and needed a massive amount of soul power to emerge as the victor. The entire underground area was brimming with the force of corruption. It was the perfect time to use his new skill.

Val activated the skill and opened his mouth wide. An immense suction force emanated from his mouth as if a mighty dragon was drawing in a deep breath. All the negativity in the air was drawn towards him, and as he devoured it, the skill effect converted it into soul power, which settled in his arcane heart.

[System Notification: Your soul power units have increased to 2000!]

"I finally have the strength to carry out the Exorcism by Force!" Val said.n0veluSB.C0m

Voidslayer watched in utter shock as Val's power level surged up to new heights.

Wizards were divided into four basic levels. Namely, they were low-level, mid-level, high-level, and finally, peak-level acolytes. A wizard that had crossed these four levels was considered a low-level wizard.

In a span of a breath, Val had leaped from a low-level wizard acolyte to a low-level wizard!

Voidslayer was left speechless by the incomprehensible spectacle for it was an accomplishment considered impossible even in the wizard community.

Even Assam, who possessed the inheritance of a Wizard King, hadn't pulled off such a feat in his life. This was truly unprecedented!

"This... this makes no sense!" Voidslayer blurted out in disbelief. "Master, you've just broken the common sense."

"It's not the first time I am doing it and it won't be the last," Val said confidently.

Just then, the inevitable happened!
