My Condolences

Stepping through the fourth floor doorway, Pro teleported directly to the seventh floor. Although there was still a blood spirit and two baleful spirits on the floor, they were already alert so Pro had no need to hide.

As the seventh floor door faded into existence behind him, Pro felt his surroundings distort. It wasn't long before he found himself in darkness once more.

"Aiya, this again. You never learn do you," Pro cheekily muttered as he began to kick the lid off the coffin once more.

Thud! Thud! Bam! Once again, the coffin could not withstand Pro's strength and a hole was punctured through it. Pro clambered out of the hole and glanced at the nearby portrait with his face on it.

"Well, I won't mind if you decide to give me more points," Pro sneered and grabbed the portrait once more.

Tugging on it hard, Pro pulled it off the table after a bit of struggle. The angry scream of the blood spirit echoed in the room as he was pelted by joss paper ninja darts once more.

Skipping over to the closed door, Pro activated his claws and easily bisected the door in half. With a kick, he sent the door smashing into the opposite hallway wall, and he calmly stepped out into the hallway as joss paper danced behind him. If he had sunglasses on, he may actually look like a badass.

Well, Pro can give a sh*t about style at the moment. He only cared about his points. Pro excitedly skipped back to his domain and shattered the portrait to gain another set of easy points.

[Ding! Mysterious object with yin qi detected. Absorbing object ...]

[Host's domain has absorbed a possession object filled with yin qi. Host gains 240 life points.]

"Eh? A bit weaker than before? It seems that it is still recovering, so I will only get diminishing returns. If it had a steady return, I would have kept it alive as a daily points farm, but I guess I should just go for the sweet one-time harvest," Pro easily decided the fate of the weaker blood spirit.

"But first, let's take out the distractions first," Pro muttered as he glanced at the group of black tuxedo spirits that were rubbing the seventh floor door with their cloth body.

Opening the door, Pro let the tuxedo spirits file into his shredder and turned them into strips in moments. Watching them dissipate into black mist and not give him any return, Pro grumbled over that evil spirit's stinginess.

Ignoring the wave of joss paper fluttering around him, Pro dashed down the hallway towards apartment 770. With his professional door smashing skills, Pro sent another innocent door flying off its hinges.

A couple of tuxedo spirits flew towards Pro, intending to impede his journey, but Pro easily tore them into pieces with his claws. Glancing at the new tuxedo spirits that were halfway through their creation on the nearby table, Pro generously helped them by scrapping both the cloth and the table.

Click. The soft sound of the bedroom door opening attracted Pro's attention. Turning his attention over, Pro saw a tall, skinny but invisible man dressed in a black tuxedo and long, slim tuxedo pants. Seemingly floating in midair, a black top hat sat on top of its invisible head. Meanwhile, a black Victorian raven cane stood in front of the tuxedo, as if it was held in place by invisible hands.

"What is up with that getup? This isn't the Victorian era," Pro mocked as he pounced over with his claws.

Seeing Pro's aggression, the tuxedo boss spirit raised his cane and pointed the bottom end at Pro. Pro then watched in amazement as the cane extended and shot out, smashing into his body while pushing him backwards.

Thud! Pro quickly smashed into the wall of the small security room, causing small cracks to appear on it; however, that was the extent of the cane's damage because it didn't seem that it was able to penetrate Pro's skin.

With a swipe of his claws, Pro lopped off a section of the extended cane and freed himself. As the cane retracted, Pro swiftly dashed towards the evil spirit.

At this moment, the tuxedo boss spirit already had enough time to take off his top hat. With a little bow, the tuxedo boss spirit flipped aimed the inside of the black hat towards Pro. Then, a stream of tuxedo uniform spirits flew out from the black hole of the top hat and shot towards Pro from multiple angles.

"Muda!" Pro roared as he shredded the incoming tuxedo spirits into pieces with multiple spins while dancing his way towards the tuxedo boss spirit who was retreating into the bedroom.

Seeing this, Pro spat out a couple of yin needles at the tuxedo boss spirit, only to watch them be intercepted by the army of tuxedo spirits. Watching the bedroom door slam shut, Pro angrily shredded the remaining tuxedo spirits in annoyance before adding the bedroom door to his professional door smasher resume.

Boom! The door was sent flying towards the tuxedo boss spirit who was now standing in the middle of the bedroom. Pro then watched with a bit of interest as he watched the door smash into what seemed to be an invisible barrier before shattering into pieces.

With his cane inserted into the center of a pentagram, the tuxedo boss spirit is now standing in what seem to be a magic circle of some sort. The magic circle was dimly lit with a purple glow, but Pro didn't have any knowledge regarding this ritual.

"What the heck? Why does a baleful spirit still remember how to perform a ritual? Isn't this level of intelligence too high?" Pro complained a bit, but recalled his own abnormality and eventually felt that it wasn't that 'abnormal' after all.

Of course, Pro didn't want to find out what would be summoned from this ritual. He won't dumbly stand there and wait for the ritual to be complete.

With a couple of steps, Pro approached the tuxedo boss spirit, only to smash into an invisible barrier that bounced him back a little, but it didn't damage him like it shattered the door. Pro sneered and smashed away with his claws, only to watch his claws bouncing off.

"Well, a bit troublesome, but can this barrier resist absolute strength?" Pro sneered as he put away his claws and clenched his fists.

Then, with a fierce momentum, Pro punched forward. BAM!

Ripples appeared in the air while Pro felt a strong repulsion force coming from the point of contact, but his strong physique helped him resist the force and he didn't even have to take a single step back. With a grin, Pro twisted his body and smashed his other fist onto the barrier. BAM!

The barrier rippled again, but it still held its ground. Pro frowned as he saw the dim purple light of the pentagram slowly grow stronger. Although he believed he could break this barrier eventually, it might be too late.

"Well, don't think you can succeed this easily," Pro grinned as he activated a very reliable ability, "Summon Cowpie!"

Splat! Awkward silence descended in the room as a piece of cow dung spawned inside the barrier and plopped onto the top hat of the tuxedo boss spirit. Brown gooey excrement dripped down from the top hat, causing the tuxedo boss spirit to tremble a bit.

"Errr ... oops, bad aim. Let me try again," Pro muttered as he continued to spawn cow pies inside the barrier.

Splat. Splat. Splat. A rain of cow dung smashed into the magic circle, causing parts of its lines to be distorted! The brightening purple light seemed to have dimmed a bit as the ritual was disturbed.

Pro grinned as he saw this. As he continued to punch the barrier, he happily packed more cow pie into the container. He even consciously spawned cow pies next to others in an attempt to push the other cow pie out of the way, which would disturb the traces of the magic circle on the ground even more.

It didn't take long for the container to be packed full. Pro didn't know if the magic circle was still running at this time, but even if something was summoned from it, the first thing that will greet them is a pile of sh*t.

"Well, that's that. Still, I should break this barrier down and drag that spirit out. It's still points after all," Pro muttered as he continued to smash the barrier.

After a couple of minutes, the barrier finally failed to withstand Pro's punches and shattered like pieces of glasses. Pro hopped back a couple of steps as he watched the pile of cow dung spill out into the bedroom, painting the ground with a beautiful, healthy brown.

A thin, brown figure than revealed itself to Pro. Although it was still standing tall, the layer of chocolate ice cream on it did not make it look proud in any way. The most noticeable thing was that there was now a set of glowing purple eyes on its face and it was glaring at Pro!

"Uhh ... I guess the ritual succeeded?" Pro awkwardly muttered.

SCREEEE! Traces of brown sludge exploded outwards from the evil spirit's face as it roared at Pro. The former tuxedo boss spirit, that was now possessed by who knows what, aimed its raven cane at Pro.

Watching the purple globe of light that gathered at the tip of the cane, Pro certainly won't stand still and serve as a training dummy. Quickly side stepping out of the way, Pro watched a orb of purple light zoom out from the bedroom door and slam into the wall.

BOOM! An explosion occurred at the point of contact as a large hole was blown through the wall! Pro raised his hands and batted away some debris that flew his way while feeling a bit of fear, "Well holy sh*t. Which boss did I accidentally attract this time? Although I may not die from one hit, I would probably still get injured by that attack if I took it head on."

Pro then debated inwardly whether to actually fight this super boss that seemed to be even stronger than the blood spirit of this floor. Although he was already a top-level blood spirit, the other side might also be the same or even stronger. Of course, the other side will definitely be weaker as it is not their main body that is here.

"Well, only with risk is there gains! I'm sure it won't be able to stay for long. If I managed to harvest it, I might get rich!" Pro excitedly made the decision to risk it.

Pro then prepared to fight an ultimate boss battle. After mentally preparing himself, Pro waited for the boss to step out of the bedroom. He could hear multiple thuds and screeches coming from the bedroom, but even after a while, the boss didn't step out of it.

"Huh?" Pro tilted his head in curiosity before he cautiously approached the bedroom doorway and peeked in.

Then, he saw that the boss that he intended to fight. Currently, that boss was in a somewhat embarrassing situation. The cane it was holding had now slipped away to the corner of the bedroom. On the other hand, the boss itself was trying to get up from the ground, but it couldn't because it constantly slipped on the layers of poop covering the ground. So, Pro was now greeted by an amazing scene where the boss he intended to fight was now doing a break dance show for him.

"Ahaha, my condolences my friend. It seems you are having a bit of trouble there," Pro chuckled with an evil grin as he stepped into the bedroom confidently.

Seeing that Pro had no trouble walking on the layer of sh*t, the boss spirit couldn't help but tilt its head in confusion. Hey! Referee, time out! That guy is cheating!

Of course Pro was cheating. After all, he won't be affected by his own ability. Pro snickered and walked up to the harmless boss spirit.

Shing! Sharpening his claws, Pro gave the boss spirit a cheerful smile. Under its angry glare, he then calmly cut off the hands and legs of the boss spirit.

"With my help, now you won't slip anymore," Pro chuckled as he put away his claws.

Disregarding the brown layer on the boss, he picked up the body of the tuxedo spirit with one hand and grabbed the nearby cane with his other hand. Ignoring the struggling boss spirit clamped under his arms, Pro then strolled back to his domain.

Returning to the safety of his domain, Pro grinned happily while the boss glared at him with its purple eyes as if to engrave his face into its memory. Then, Pro watched as the purple eyes begin to fade away.

"Oh hell no! Don't just escape after coming! My points!" Pro growled angrily and swiftly smashed the tuxedo spirit's body and its cane into pieces

Screee! The purple eye boss roared back at Pro angrily as its container was destroyed. A stream of purple light then escaped from tuxedo spirit's body and wanted to zip away, but Pro reacted quickly and gave it a couple of swipes with his claws.

Pro didn't have much hope of actually hitting light, but it was unknown if it was due to his luck or plot armor, he was surprisingly able to hit it. The defenseless light was diced into pieces before it could escape. An unwilling roar echoed in the stairway as specks of purple light gently floated down to the ground and was absorbed by the domain.

[Ding! Mysterious power with grudge detected. Absorbing power ...]

[Host's domain has absorbed a remnant power filled with yin qi and grudge. Host gains 1550 life points.]

Before Pro could cheer in excitement, he watched his surroundings transition into a cut-scene once more. A man dressed in the familiar tuxedo suit and top hat was performing a ritual in a dark room.

"With the sacrifice of the tyrant, his family, and his subordinates, I call upon the spirit of blood thirst, the purple eye tyrant! Please grant your humble servant an eternal life!"

The magic circle lit up as a bright streak of purple light shot towards the man from the circle. It didn't take long for this light to be absorbed by the man as the man seemed to roar in pain and excitement. Suddenly, the man froze in place as his voice exclaimed in horror.

"No! How can this be?! This isn't god! It's just an evil spirit! That black robed man lied to me! This isn't the eternity I want! Nooo!"

The man's body then faded into invisibility, leaving his tuxedo and top hat floating in the midair. As the scene faded away, the newly created tuxedo spirit then picked up the nearby cane and floated out of the dark room to complete its assigned task.

[Host has eliminated an intruder in your domain. Domain is now absorbing the remains of the intruder ...]

[Absorption completed. Intruder was determined to be a Top-Level Baleful Spirit. System Library updated with new info.]

[After absorbing a powerful spirit, host gains 1080 life points.]

"Hahaha, thanks for the treat!" Pro happily chuckled over his extra gain, bringing his total points up to 7710.

Pro then turned his eyes back to the seventh floor as he licked his lips. There is still a blood spirit and one more mid-level baleful spirit for him to harvest. He can't wait!
