Chapter 563: Chapter 563

With the departure imminent, Du You and his companions began to prepare. The two sisters would visit the market every day, partially to fulfill their shopping desires and partially to collect some supplies.

Yet, Du You noticed that the sisters seemed to be secretly aiding their former younger and older brothers. Despite being aware of their actions, Du You remained silent. As long as the sisters weren’t doing anything too extreme, he would not interfere.

Even though he had officially bought the sisters outright, Du You still hoped that they would retain their individual personalities instead of becoming his complete puppets. Blood ties were not so easily severed; while he did not particularly like the sisters’ original family, he wouldn’t openly prevent them from helping them. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝙣𝙚𝙩

Of course, this didn’t interfere with their preparations. Various items to deal with demons were ready.

For instance, some substances that could be smeared on weapons to enhance their lethality against demonic creatures, and some potions to dispel dark auras. Most crucially, Du You chose some new abilities.

Magic Stability: Stabilizes the effects of spell casting and strengthens spell structure. (Level 1)

Elemental Affinity: Increases elemental affinity, enhances elemental spell power, and reduces consumption. (Level 1)

Dark Element Affinity: Requires Elemental Affinity as a prerequisite, enhances dark elemental affinity, greatly enhances the power of dark spells, and reduces the consumption of casting dark spells. (Level 1)

With two foundational skills and one advanced skill, Du You chose these new skills. All were geared to enhance his dark element spell power and continually increase his spell strength.

The sisters also gained new foundational and advanced skills.

Focus: Enhances concentration and vision. (Level 1)

Mental Perception: Enhances perception ability, allowing for awareness of all the changes in the surrounding environment. (Level 1)

Mana Accumulation: Requires Basic Meditation at Level 9 as a prerequisite, increases magic power by 5% each level. (Level 1)

Additionally, Du You acquired two basic skills of Spiritual Lock. Unfortunately, both were at level 1, and not very high, so everyone would have to start cultivating them from level 1.

With these new skills, their daily lives once again became busy as these foundational and advanced skills could only be cultivated and could not have their levels increased using Crystal Coins.

The next day, Du You regretted it somewhat — after most of their time was consumed by cultivation, there was less time for himself to do interesting things in the evening. If he had known this would be the case, he should have learned fewer skills.

However, such constant work allowed for a not-so-small increase in the strength of Du You and his companions. With the increase in their levels and improvement of their skills, the speed of cultivation of these basic skills had also greatly increased.

Du You’s Magic Stability and Elemental Affinity quickly reached level 4 in a short time. Following that, the pace of cultivation slowed down. It seemed unlikely there would be another level increase before they departed.

As an advanced skill, his Dark Elemental Affinity had a slower rate of advancement since it lacked high-level basic skills for support, and Du You didn’t make it a priority. Therefore, his Dark Elemental Affinity only reached level 2.

Unsure of when it started, Du You found that his basic archery technique had reached level 6, even though he hadn’t used a bow in a long time. Du You clapped his hands, understanding that his skill must have increased due to being regularly influenced by the presence of two archers, and his own use of the Dark Flame Arrow Array technique.

Otherwise, Du You could not see any other explanation. His basic swordsmanship, which he had trained in for many years, had always been at level 7 and hadn’t improved at all.

After all, he hadn’t been using a sword for a long time. If his swordsmanship had improved, rather than not, it would have been strange.

Meanwhile, the sisters had managed to elevate the recently learned skill, Focus, to level 4. Spiritual Perception and Mental Perception were both used to sense their surroundings. Spiritual Perception involved projecting spiritual power outward to perceive, while Mental Perception was more like an extension of the five senses and was particularly suiting for individuals with the archer class.

These two skills complemented each other nicely, and the sisters had managed to increase both to level 4.

At this level, they could substantially utilize these fundamental skills.

Unfortunately, the sisters had not focused on Mana Accumulation, leaving it at level 1 with no improvement.

Du You chose this skill with the intention of somewhat compensating for the sisters’ insufficient magic power. Although their magic power was better than most people, it still paled in comparison to Du You’s.

As a magic turret, he wished the sisters could become robust forces of Demon Extermination, like him. Ideally, they would become capable enough to stand alone in the future, which Du You would appreciate even more.

Not that he actually intended to send them out to fight on their own, but only when they could keep up with his progress. After all, he was a 10-star while they were only 8-star.

If others heard his thoughts, they might have some opinions.

One day, Du You finally felt the dissipating aura of the Law from his body. Like him, the two sisters, being his absolute followers, naturally would have the same experience when his aura of the Law was scattered.

Checking the messages sent by Shaliya, he found that his territory was developing smoothly without any issues. Du You simply stood up and said, "Let’s go, pack up, we are leaving."

The sisters had been ready for days. Hearing Du You’s words, they picked up their weapons, donned their cloaks, and stood by Du You’s side. "Master, we are ready, let’s go."

After Du You nodded, he waved his hand, bringing out the Crystal Heart. It was a permanent entry point to the Demon Calamity World. However, this was probably his last time using it. After this time, he was afraid he would not be coming to Demon Calamity World again.

Activating the Crystal Heart, a vortex appeared right where they were. All three transformed into red light points and were sucked into the vortex.

As the scenery changed before his eyes, Du You realized he had arrived in the Demon Calamity World. The dark red sky and the pervasive smell of demonic decay all indicated that they had returned to this world of despair.

Suddenly, Du You felt a special power surge, invigorating him.

"World Will’s attention? I wasn’t expecting the reward from last time to still be in effect." Du You realized he had earned the treatment of the Chosen Son of Destiny once again.
