In addition to the map update, Ash's necromancy spirit has also undergone new changes.

The appearance of the necromancer is a triangular bipyramidal hexahedron. Previously, only one side glowed blue. After absorbing Valcas's Blood Tomb Necromancer, another side glowed red.

"This magic spirit successfully absorbed the magic spirit of the same name, unlocking new soldiers: 'Blood Moon Servant', 'Adventurer', 'Blood Crazy Hunter', and 'Dual Color Anchor'."

"Blood Tomb·Blood Moon Servant: Ranged soul damage +10%. 3 layers of armor, free form, can consume life to shoot blood arrows. Each unit consumes 1 soul point."

"Blood Tomb Adventurer: Melee soul damage +15%, movement speed increased by 30%, each war unit killed can plunder 1 soul for the commander. 2 layers of armor, humanoid creature. Each unit consumes 2 soul points."

"Blood Tomb·Blood Mad Hunter: Gunsling and Swordsmanship deal +20% soul damage. 4 layers of armor, humanoid creature, with built-in long sword and miracle 'Blood Madness'. Each unit consumes 4 soul points."

[Blood Madness: Use on yourself, enter a state of sanity loss and greatly increase attack speed and movement speed until death in battle.]

If "Adventurer" might be a coincidence of the popular name, then "Blood Hunter" can only refer to the lifelong enemy of the cult leader, the Blood Moon Kingdom's ace profession, the Blood Hunter.

In fact, after hearing Sword Lady say that a figure similar to the Star Prayer appeared in her kingdom, Ash had expected this. These Blood Tomb professions completely confirmed his guess: the arms of the virtual world forces are closely related to the professions in the real world, or in other words, the arms of the virtual world can all find prototypes in reality.

Speaking of which, when he was being chased by the Queen's Spirit, Ash also saw Spider Tower soldiers wearing red hats. He didn't take it seriously at the time, but now he recalled that this was the red-hat security force in the Gospel Kingdom.

However, is it that the virtual world's troops imitate the real prototypes, or is it that the reality infects the virtual world and thus produces troops...?

Compared to the familiar Blood Tomb troops, the new troops below left Ash confused.

"Two-color Anchor: 2 layers of armor, 20% anchoring, 2 soul points consumed per unit."

[Anchoring: When you encounter any external influence (physical attack, mental shock, curse weakening, etc.) or spontaneously change yourself (consume magic power, buff yourself, etc.), there is a chance that the anchoring effect will be triggered. Once the anchoring is triggered, you will not be affected by the outside world for the next 5 seconds, nor can you affect the outside world. ]

Unlike other arms, the "Dual Color Anchor" does not have prefixes such as "Star Hall" or "Blood Tomb", which means that it should not be an exclusive arm of any faction, and it has no attack bonus. Its only feature is the [Anchor] special effect.

At first glance, this effect seems very powerful: once triggered, it will not be affected by the outside world, which is equivalent to being invincible. But the problem is that after triggering [Anchor], Ash can't affect the outside world and directly becomes a spectator - wait, is this a special type of soldier derived from my name "End Observer"?

However, this type of soldier is exactly what Ash needs. If they are really chased by the Spider Legion, this 20% anchor may help them avoid multiple fatal attacks. Even if the anchor will limit their attacks, it doesn't matter - facing the Heroic Soul Legion, their own combat power is not worth mentioning at all, and they mainly rely on the farts of their sports cars to smoke out the pursuers.

After sorting out the harvest, Ash looked up at Valkas and said, "You're just giving it to me like this. Aren't you afraid that I will regret it? And if you are willing to surrender, why didn't you surrender to those two magicians just now?"

"I just don't have feelings, not brains." Valcas tapped her temple. "In my memory, Ash Hiss is a fool with an excessive conscience. I don't have any means to restrict you. It doesn't matter when I give it to you. I can only choose to trust you. As for those two people just now... my memory tells me that they are not trustworthy."

Ash didn't think much about it. He just felt that Valcas had met a strange magician he didn't know, so he certainly didn't dare to believe it easily.

"Can't you just surrender and leave?" Ash was a little confused.

Surrender is allowed in the Death Arena. It is normal that the knowledge creatures and the magician projections do not surrender. After all, the former cannot speak and the latter have no self-awareness at all; but the Heroic Spirit Commander is at least an artificial idiot, so why doesn't he surrender?

"You magicians can surrender, because when the arena drains your magic power, you will leave the virtual world and return to reality." Valcas said the term "you magicians" very naturally: "But we cannot surrender, because after the arena drains our magic power, we will still stay here. The arena will continue to absorb our souls until we are completely integrated with the arena."

"Magicians are different from creatures in the Void Realm. Although you outsiders cannot survive in the Void Realm for a long time, you have advantages that we cannot match in some areas."

Only then did Ash realize that he was talking to a "virtual creature". For Ash, the virtual world was an adventure place, a dating place, and a place to escape from reality, but if Ash decided one day to have a wife and children and abandon the virtual world, then he could completely cut off ties with the virtual world.

But for Valkas and the others, the virtual world is their reality.

The golden rain against the current, the arena, the resource points, the golden river... these wonders that Ash and others rarely see are the surrounding facilities that they want to record on the map.

Life and death have drawn an uncrossable curtain before them.

If all magicians come to the virtual realm for tourism and adventure, then Ash may be one of the very few magicians who can deeply understand the local indigenous culture - other magicians can only communicate with the Violent Dragon with roars at most, while Ash has had in-depth exchanges with the two Heroic Soul Commanders and learned many truths that even the Legends of the Sanctuary may not understand.

The Queen Commander even admired Ash very much after the communication, and was so enthusiastic that she insisted on keeping him in the virtual world - forever.

Ash thought wildly: "If I die in the Gospel Kingdom, then I will most likely be a colleague of the Queen's Heroic Spirit in the future? But my body is that of a Blood Moon Person, and I have participated in the Blood Moon Trial. Will the Blood Moon Supreme Lord fight with the All-Knowing Weaver Lord in order to snatch a talent like me?"

"So I have to surrender and leave?"

"That's right." Valcas nodded. "But if you insist on killing me, I can't do anything about it. Before I died, I gave you all my magic spirits, including the necromancy spirit. I don't have any fighting power now."

Ash suddenly summoned the Heart Sword Spirit. Valkas stared at the Heart Sword, raised his head slightly, revealing his smooth neck, as if waiting for a period.

"Do you want me to give it back to you?" Ash asked.

Valcas was slightly startled and shook his head: "It is impossible to exchange magic spirits in the virtual realm. As soon as you unlock the 'Heart Sword', it will immediately disappear and escape."

"Oh, that's right." Ash just remembered this setting.

The female elf asked: "And this magic spirit has been promoted to the second wing by you, are you still willing to give it back to me?"

Ash asked back, "But isn't this the gift you were going to give to your child?"

"You can keep it for yourself." Valcas thought for a moment and said, "But... speaking of this, I have something to ask of you."

"As long as you don't make me your colleague, everything is fine."

"As I lay dying before being executed by the Titan Executioner, I... Valcas had a last word for a child in my heart. If you have the chance, please find that child and tell her this last word."

I am no longer in the Blood Moon Kingdom... Ash was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

The female elf stared into the distance, as if she was looking at the last page of a non-existent book, and read out the final chapter of the story in a cold tone: "I'm sorry... You must live a good life in the future. I have disappointed you. Don't follow my example and violate the blood prohibition law."

Ash was silent for a moment. "You just said that you have no other desires besides 'understanding memories', so why do you want me to convey your last words?"

Valcas glanced at him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing the only smile in the entire exchange.

"Yeah, why?"
