Pro closed his eyes as he felt an intense surge of power filling his body. His senses extended to cover his entire domain once more, and Pro enjoyed the feeling of having power and control once more.
The power surge gradually faded away. Pro felt his strength and senses were enhance again, but not as much as the first time. Still, he spent a small amount of time to adapt to his new strength before he glanced at his updated status screen.

Although Pro felt a bad feeling when he saw a certain ability's name, Pro still decided to take a look at his new abilities.
[Summon Cow Pie] Summon a cow pie at a location within host's perception. Cow pies obey the law of gravity and will not stick to walls. Enemies who step on the cow pies will have a high chance of slipping and a slim chance of falling face first into it. Cow pies spawned by this ability can be absorbed by the host's domain in order to clean it. Cost: 10
Taking a look at his first new ability, Pro froze as his face blanched. After 5,000 omitted curses to the developers of the system, Pro finally calmed down enough to check his other abilities.
[Domain Illusion] Host can overlay a small illusion over small parts of host's domain. The host's imagination can run wild, but the illusion will be more effective if the illusion is closer in image to the area in reality which the illusion is applied on. Each illusion size can't exceed the size of a door and can only last up to 1 hour before dissipating on its own. Illusions can't have animations and can be canceled at any time. Cost: 50
"Not bad at all! Unlike my fixed bathroom illusion ability, this illusion ability is based on my own imagination! With this illusion ability, I can play a lot more tricks on visitors! Also, my yin needles can now reach a distance of up to 6 meters! I can now kite enemies from a distance if they aren't too fast!" Pro happily remarked before he began to test his natural ghost abilities.
After a while of testing, Pro didn't notice much difference besides the fact that his telekinesis control over objects was much smoother.
"The power up is not as great as when ranking up to blood spirit, but still powerful nevertheless," Pro muttered before he glanced at the dim glow of sunlight that was beginning to stream in, "It seems morning is here. I can also spend some time to verify my sunlight resistance ability which should be at 40% after being doubled.
After letting Alice go elsewhere so she doesn't feel uncomfortable, Pro temporarily removed the shirts blocking the window and bravely stood in the sunlight. With the 40% resistance, Pro felt the sunlight glare down upon him, but he didn't feel any burning sensation or weakness.
Instead, Pro only felt a lukewarm sensation. It wasn't until he stayed in the sunlight for over an hour that he began to feel weakness. Compared to his instant weakness as a baleful spirit and weakness after a couple of minutes as a low-level blood spirit, the experience now was a major difference.
Pro happily enjoyed the warm sunlight for a bit longer before nailing the shirts back up. Checking the time, Pro decided he should start cleaning, "The first customer should come in about two hours. Time to clean up."
Then, with Alice's help, Pro cleaned the whole floor of fighting traces. He deposited the bodies into friendly neighborhood trashcan 442 and scrubbed the blood stains as much as possible.
He also reloaded the S&W M&P handgun he currently owned along with the three new S&W M&P handguns he collected from the dead bodies of the three baldies. With the guns fully loaded, Pro still counted a total of 61 rounds of bullets!
Unfortunately, his Glock 17 is now becoming obsolete. Although it had high ammo capacity compared to the S&W M&P's 10 shot capacity, Pro didn't have any more bullets for the Glock. After this round of fight, he only had 9 rounds left on his Glock.
Pro then stashed the Glock in his bedroom for the last line of defense. Two of the S&W M&P handguns were stashed in different kitchen drawers with the ammos. Then, Pro stashed one in the security office bedroom and one in the kitchen drawer of apartment 448.
As for the long sword of the knight, it turned out to only be a normal long sword! So, Pro just moved it into a corner of apartment 446's bedroom. Maybe Toi Toi can learn to use it and be a mummy knight, but Pro didn't have much hope of that happening.
As for how the knight hurt evil spirits with the normal sword, Pro decided to find out through his life details.
[Name] Lance Galihad
[Gender] Male
[Life Details] Lance Galihad was born on ...
While he harvested leeks during the day, due to the fact that he didn't have to spend a lot of time recovering like before, Pro was able to find time in between to brush up his knowledge by reading the knight's life details.
Through Lance's life details, Pro learned that he was a Holy Knight, a level two mystic of the Holy Soldier pathway. Besides the basic physique upgrade from ranking up, Holy Knights also gained the ability to use level two holy spells such as holy light, holy shield, dispel medium curse, and dispel medium plague.
Holy Knights are also able to bless themselves with stronger blessings in addition to gaining a new blessing of mental resistance. Finally, Holy Knights can begin to infuse their weapons with holy energy, but this effect is only temporary and does not apply to ranged projectiles.
As a Holy Knight, Lance had access to a higher level of information and learned from his organization that he could promote faster with less risks if he acts his role. So instead of wearing a bullet proof vest, he dressed in a real medieval knights attire in order to act his role and prepare for his promotion to a level three mystic, Paladin.
He originally had no worries for the mission because the government's previous investigation stated that there are only baleful spirits in the fourth floor of the apartment building and the only blood spirit in the stairways is gone.
As for the details of this mission, Pro learned that the mayor of the city requested for assistance from the government and posted a mission to come seek the fugitive that harmed his son.
The government agreed to post the mission, but the reward of normal people's cash didn't have much attraction to those on the side of mystics. No one wanted to take a risky mission for cash; however, Lance popped up and took the mission because he needed funds for his home.
Lance was raised in the orphanage of a small church that was affiliated with the government. While growing up, he was brainwashed to believe in the God of Light which the church worships. Once he grew up, he gained the support of the church to become a Holy Soldier because of his pious belief.
Unfortunately, the support ended there. When the church was still in its heyday, its power was able to contend with the government, but ever since the God of Light stopped responding to their prayers more than a century ago, the church has declined.
Now, in the modern age, the government's modern weapons ruled the world while the once magnificent church could only shrink itself and even had to sell its knowledge over the Holy Soldier pathway to the government in order to survive.
Lance, with many other children, strive to bring back the glory of the church by joining the government mystics department and growing stronger. However, with each passing year, there didn't seem to be much progress. Without the God of Light to back them, the church didn't even dare to provoke the evil cultists, let alone the government.
Still, Lance firmly held onto his beliefs that his god shall return one day. Ever since he was little, he was brainwashed into believing that god still lives, and as long as there is enough belief, god shall return one day. The priest that raised them said that day will be the day that the prophecy shall be fulfilled, when the dawn of the era of gods arrives and when the gods shall awaken once more!
However, it was unknown where this prophecy came from. Over the course of his life of working for the government, Lance even began to have doubts that the prophecy even existed. Even if it was true, Lance had no clues on when it will occur, or if it will even occur during his lifetime. Of course, Lance still held onto his beliefs until his dying breath.
Reaching the end of the knight's biography, Pro sat back as his thoughts wandered off, "Does the gods really exist? Could they be sleeping like this so called God of Light? And what is the prophecy all about?"
It wasn't long before Pro was distracted from his thoughts as Alice reminded him that a customer was coming. Pro then diligently served his last customer of the day, accumulating a total of 750 points.
After cleaning up, Pro finally had the time to plan his next invasion.
"After slaying this level two mystic, I may draw some of the government's attention whether I want it or not. After all, a level two mystic isn't a nobody," Pro concluded with worry, "Even though I'm confident about my power, I still need to get as strong as possible before the next wave of investigations come in order to increase my chances of survival. The next wave might not be as easy to deal with."
"With my strength now and the 30 minutes of exploration time, I now have enough time to sweep the third floor even if the baleful spirits there trap me. This should be my first goal. After I successfully complete this, I can head down to the second floor and sneakily harvest them!" Pro easily came up with a plan.
"By the way, I wonder how much points I have to grind for the next level now," Pro couldn't help but try to set a goal for himself.
[To upgrade host level, the following requirements must be met.]
[Requirements] Domain size of at least 16 small rooms, 8 medium room, 1 large room, 10000 life points
Pro's eyes became dull once he saw this. He then stood up on his bed and let himself fall off head first in hopes of just falling to death.
"Goodbye world."
Bonk! Pro's face smashed into the ground, but he didn't even feel an ounce of pain. The only thing he felt was the weird, confused gaze from Alice who was cutely sitting on the bed.
Arduously pulling himself back onto the bed, Pro buried his head into Alice's embrace as he cried, "Noooo! I can't do it! Almost 19,000 points! I can't! It's too much!"
Blinking her eyes, Alice then hugged her master tighter into her embrace as she comforted while patting her master on his head like he does for her, "Yush, yush! Master, Alice believes you can do it, no matter how hard it is! After all, master is the one who Alice admires the most!"
After being fed chicken soup by Alice and enjoying her warmth, Pro finally returned to normal as he recovered his 'looking forward to the future' attitude.
"Yes, I can do it. It might take a bit longer than expected, but I will definitely reach Demonic Spirit and escape from here!" Pro encouraged himself as he thanked Alice by giving her a warm kiss.
With Alice's happy giggles behind him, Pro set off on his hunting expedition once more. With plenty of time on the clock, Pro decided it's time to harvest a big one.
"Points, I need points! And all of you sh*tty spirits will become my points! My urge to slaughter, it's time for me to let it out!"
