Chapter 59: Gate of Blasphemy — The Sinkeeper Rises

Chapter 59: Gate of Blasphemy — The Sinkeeper Rises

As the Vault trembled again with surging power, Kael stood tall amidst the cracked obsidian floor, eyes still locked on the forbidden barrier pulsing with crimson light.

But before taking another step toward destruction, he paused.

[System Menu — Open]

[Accessing General System Shop…]

The familiar interface appeared in a golden-blue sheen, listing sections Kael hadn't checked in days. Now with time and EXP banked, he could finally afford a few critical upgrades.

📦 [SYSTEM SHOP — General Catalog]

Categories:

[Racial Mutation]

[Bloodline Upgrade]

[Physique Awakening]

[Legendary Weapons]

[Mystic Potions & Elixirs]

[Breakthrough Pills]

[Talisman Scrolls]

[Special Items — Limited Time]

Kael navigated to [Physique Awakening] first.

[Purchase: Draconic Vein Unsealing Pill — 2,000,000 EXP]

[Effect: Activates dormant physical potential inherited from ancient hybrid lineage. +20% Strength and Endurance permanently. Enhances battle recovery and elemental resistance.]

"Let's see how far my blood runs," Kael muttered, confirming the selection.

[EXP Deducted: -2,000,000]

[EXP: 8,250,000 / 13,800,000]

[Item Received: Draconic Vein Unsealing Pill]

He consumed it instantly.

A golden surge rolled through his limbs—scales, heat, and clarity. His bones felt heavier. His skin tingled with raw force.

[Passive Physique Buff Applied — Draconic Veins Activated]

[Strength +20%, Endurance +20%, Elemental Resistance +15%]

Next, he browsed the [Weapon Section].

[Purchase: Phantomspike Fangblade — 1,500,000 EXP]

[Tier: Divine — Race-Bound]

[Effect: Permanently enhances Strength and Speed by +500% while equipped. Passive: Chance to phase through armor. Active Skill: Phantom Slash — Creates a delayed shadow strike. Cooldown: 1 hour.]

Kael grinned and confirmed.

The blade appeared in his grip—sleek, curved, vibrating slightly with spectral pulses.

[EXP Deducted: -1,500,000]

[EXP: 6,750,000 / 13,800,000]

[Weapon Equipped: Phantomspike Fangblade — Divine Tier]

A surge of unimaginable might flowed through Kael's arms. The moment the blade fused to him, his muscles tightened, his speed sharpened, and his senses extended.

[Divine Buff Active — Permanent: Strength ×5, Speed ×5 while weapon equipped]

He glanced over a few more sections—Talisman Scrolls, Breakthrough Pills, and Potions—but held back.

"Enough spending. I'll save the rest for after the boss."

Kael took one last breath and stepped forward.

[Sin Points: 10/10 — Blasphemer's Gate Key Activated]

The barrier cracked, then shattered like a mirror of blood and light.

From the darkness beyond, the Vault stirred. And something massive shifted—its breath alone wilting the stone.

The Sinkeeper had awoken.

Its eyes opened: molten sapphire, ancient and furious.

[Boss Detected: Sinkeeper of the Fallen Realms]

[Realm: Moonglade — Tier 9/9]

[Reward: ??? — Sinpoint Surge Guaranteed]

Kael raised his new blade, stance steady.

"I bought power... now let's test if it was worth the price."
